Well I was told Halliday, R.Lee and Chris Musolino, Hallidays a gun ruckman but been retired for a few years, Musolino's played league footy at centrals and Ron has played footy for Elizabeth under Matty, as well as a former captain of South Gawler. He's the nephew of Former Crow and Centrals player Scott Lee.

Have definately heard of Musolino. Bute have traditionally paid big $$$ to their outsiders...

Niven been at a few clubs ?

Has coached at Central United and Ingle Farm prior to coaching our C grade last season.

[One Eyed]

Thought I knew the name

[coach carter]

Maybe his dad Terry will coach, has been his assistant the whole time...

must be having trouble finding a descent coach , should approach Terry to do it for the year , no point just picking anyone , especially after the hard work Chads done.

[Footy Chick]

I tend to agree with that comment.

Has coached at Central United and Ingle Farm prior to coaching our C grade last season.

Also coached at Paralowie and Mawson Lakes i believe and maybe even Houghton.

To each their own, it may work for them. North Haven started in mid November last year .......... this year we having a couple of BBQ's before christmas.

Still maintain AFL players have sports science approved programs and start playing in February and can go until early October. Maybe a few light sessions leading in to Xmas but starting 2 or 3 days per week before Xmas is nothing short of stupid for amateur footballers as next to none look after their bodies properly anyway..... All it does is increase the chance of mental and physical fatigue.

agree wholeheartedly! clubs usually have two weeks off over xmas when that happens anyway where, unless blokes are supremely comitted, drink and eat way to much and dont touch the running shoes. we've started early januray the last two years with a BBQ b4 xmas and that has worked really really well as we've had solid numbers from the word go.

im surprised to see you pop your head up on here watchy, thought the missus would have you neck deep in wedding plans?

Considering CLG are in a re-build, for their A grade to just miss the finals and their B grade to make the GF in 2012- with the planned introduction of a c grade side in 2013 .....id say thinks are working very well for the lions in terms of numbers on the track (which is what BFG referred to in his post!)

Im sure Zwecky and the A grade squad will consider finals an absolute must next season. CC- Maybe consider that general progression and growth within a club is sometimes better than flying through the grades and falling twice as fast...something that woodville south have experience in doing.

Absolutely correct. If you don't have a solid foundation of blokes throughout your club falling through the divs is a real possibility.

Need a number of committed players across both grades and across different ages. If you rely on too many mercenaries or blokes of a certain age, when they leave/retire it can rip the heart out of the team. Trust me Kilburn knows about this.

Setting the foundation for going up can actually be more important than fluking a few finals wins.
