My question is how do you go about recruiting commitment? ask all the questions, the player gives the answers you want to hear and then 4 months later after their non attendance at 2 functions what do you do?? tear up the contract, refuse to pay them...all of this ends ugly.
Build juniors I hear you cry...we are doing that but we wont see these kids in our seniors for 8- 10 yrs. I think I was at Jet Park last year when Unley celebrated 20 yrs of junior football ???
and look at your results. What a stellar season for Unley.
Seems like its magic wand time at Hicks Park .......but some people better be careful what they wish for
Turk IMO it looks like the club is looking for quick fixes which is why they throw money at players. I would say, take the next couple of seasons on the chin and concentrate on spending money on things that will attract players to the club like a good gym, or better facilities etc. (not knocking current facilities as I don't really know.) Also make incentive awards like BOG get's $100 etc. make players earn their money. Also keystone I feel is having an Under 18's. Almost all successful strong clubs in higher divisions have an under 18's which injects half a dozen plus new players each year to senior footy. It will take a few years to build, but looking long term I think you would be better for it. Throwing money at players to make your club competitive only hides the cracks for a while.
What is this The Greenacres Football Club Forum ...FFS...Everyone has an opinion..
How about all those disgruntled players contact the appropriate personnel instead of using this forum to bag a club,IMO that doesn't deserve this rubbish that is being thrown at them.
IMO the players that are talking up this rubbish around the tracks need to pick up their dummies,grow up and move on ..
