considering hes not getting paid thats a big statement to make

Thats not what ive been told. Must be a private sponsor. Isnt that right Scottroo?

[scottroo]

care to disclose your source?

[RRR]

In a nutshell he was not reappointed at PHOS.

heard it was out of damien minervinni and francis for the brighton job. Reckon name
got Francis the job cause I've heard from the PHOS boys Minners was a much better coach.

Minners is a very good coach. I've got 2 mates out there who love him and really gives the club a good feel and really backs players in.

he is very highly regarded at SHOCs. Great bloke, knows his footy, and is very stiff not to be an A grade coach somewhere.

[Specky McGee]

Its ok Scottroo, most clubs pay players, even those in a dirt div 7 competition

visser is a very handy player, worth $$$ IMO

Heard during the 2006 season from a PHOS member that the player's did rate Francis as a coach at all, thought he was a big tosser and there A Grade were thinking of forfeiting a game last year.
The committee had to talk the player's into playing.

Personally if the $18,000 figure is correct and with the above story, he wouldn't be coaching at my club.

Many reasons why he wasn't reappointed at PHOS that has been covered in other threads. Were a few disgruntled senior players but there was no threats of a forfeit or committee intervention to appease the masses.

I only write what i hear and that tony francis was a ver good coach. Problem is he just gets to passionte about the whole game and forgets what he is doing. I heard at kilburn he was so much better than Peach, who was very average. I actually think he was better than PHOS, and why he got the sack. Very inbread club. ( weaird club, with weird thoughts)
He will do great at brighton with his knowledge and game plan !

Interesting comment considering Kilburn sacked Francis half way through a season.

He got sacked because he was unable to fulfill the requirements of his job. Passionate I agree. But when you get so caught up in the game watching the contest and arguing with opposition players and supporters he is as useful as everyone else standing around the fence. Another reason he is no longer a phantom was that there was no evidence of a game plan. As for the inbread club comment you are obviously a F@*K WIT!

for someone to finish 3rd or 4th without a game plan is pretty impressive. How far could he go if he found one. Bit touchy about the inbread comment, or did i hit a nerve !! Maybe that is why peach could not succed at kilburn or west adelaide because he didnt have his inbread mates along side him.

You might want to check your facts. Kilburn sacked him as they were not happy he wasn't playing.

[FootyMad]

So if Im correct Sudjai Cook and Tony Franics to Brighton? Someone on here talking cook up so much that they reckon he go alright back in the SANFL? No way - he's a dirty little sniper! Quality country or ammo surely though.

[bandar]

Cook is at Broadview.

[FootyMad]

Cook is at Broadview.

Correct, just had a mate tell me they are (broadies) advertising stating they are desparate for players or something. Who has broadies head coaching pozzy?

[Specky McGee]

I believe its Tony Burgess. Coached Westies juniors for many years.

[ronburgandy]

cook played div 1 hills and couldn't get a kick and when he did he would tel his team mates how good it was!

It was the quality of the playing group that got them a kick from a grand final berth. Something that neither Kilburn or West Adelaide have.

Correct also coached Glenelg's 2's from 2003>2005 including a care-taker role with GFC league side after Simmons was sacked mid-season; reportedly good bloke but just ok coach??????

On Saturday the 2nd of April the Brighton Football Club lost a life member.
Marcus Crawford passed away after a year long battle with leukemia.
He will be sorely missed by the club and the players.
R.I.P mate and thanks for all you have done for me and my family
As they say only the good die young
