Wow wee. I find it strange that clubs can elect to nominate that they not play in the division they have qualified for. :shock:

Not having a go at any club or boards but I know there have been at least 3 years of my long and undistinguished career that I was forced to take a weekly hiding with almost no hope of victory.

Not looking to start an argument I am just shocked that this can occur.

Incorrect... I was not referring to C grade.

If I was I still wouldn't have got a kick in C7 :)

Did the club recruit guys who would stay around the club in the long haul or just jump ship when more money was offered?

Did the club build a culture where the players want to stay at the club no matter what money was thrown around by others?


Now Brahma Lodge are in the same position of many other clubs in the area who don't have the money to pay the same amount as Brahma had done in the past and are asking to stay down?

Is it a right to have a successful season each year or do you have to take the pain to make the successful seasons feel better.

I think Brahma should be made to stay up and feel the pain that a lot of other clubs have felt in the past.


All i'm going to say to this is I thought we had...

Clearly we havent

Time to re-build and the CULTURE must change

FWIW, Brahma won't be the only side that's been uncompetitive in Division 3, we had a year in 2006 when we won one game by a kick, and lost by 15+ goals eight times during the year. I also remember beating Rosewater by 34 goals in Round 1 of Division 4 in 2007 and none of their guys ever looked they were going to give it away, and they ended up winning a couple of games towards the back end of the year when it got wet and some other sides had some injuries.

The other line about getting more injuries in a non-competitive game is a complete myth IMO, I'm fairly sure more guys get injured playing games on a Saturday then they do at training with slight contact. An absolute non-issue.

It's an unfortunate situation for BL, but they did pay out money to get a percentage of these guys to their club (and a lot of others obviously had a loyalty to Payney, which is a sign of his quality as a coach), so they shouldn't be all that surprised when they move on for even more money or becazuse they still want to play under Payney.

Sorry BL, as bad as you'll think you'll be, you should suck it up, cop it for 12 months like every other club has at some point, and have a go at Div 4 in 2015 when you've had another off-season to try and re-invigorate your list.


I dont think you'll find any A graders have gone to Elizabeth with Payney!!!!!!

I would like to think he is as dissapointed as we are.

I don't think many, if any, that left from the a grade are playing at Elizabeth under Payney? I know Tim aloisi signed there but heard he is now out with the other guys at sedan.

Fair enough lads, I've been overseas and last I heard Timmy and a couple of others were out there, obviously with Sedan's coin, that has changed. Play on.

Blue demon if you read the last few pages you would know. However to summaries it, 19 of the grand final side decided to leave. The club will be in a lower division with a lot of b grade players playing in the a grade.

A opportunity exists for someone who wishes to be a coach to coach at a good club. You will be on a hiding to nothing most weeks but you will get some valuable experience.
