Mitch is an outstanding leader of men and has a fantastic football brain. He has been in the SANFL system for years and has been able to build on solid foundations of professionalism and skills laid by previous coaches. I have no doubt that he will be a strong coach this year, particularly with the trust that he has in the team around him.

Let's just nip this in the bud now... S Demon, the 'big purse' insinuation is an insult to Mitch and my club. To date, we will be playing with a total of 5 out of a possible 15 points. We have worked hard on recruiting the right player/person for our team and it has meant that the overwhelming number of players are there for the right reasons, and that does not equate to money. TTG has never, and will never, be a club that can afford to attract players based purely on money, and nor would we want to. Next time, before throwing out loose allegations and innuendo, feel free to contact me or someone else at the club who actually knows what goes on.

So i suppose Josh Hand left the big dollars behind at Geppies,cos he liked the idea of wearing a red and black guernsey :shock:

Yep. That, and he has a vested interest in the juniors. Not everything has sinister connections, so quit it with the shocked face until you have asked appropriate questions to the appropriate people.

Sorry if I insulted you or your club after suggesting some quality recruits are most likely being paid good money at TTG. I forgot that in the age of country clubs offering huge cash to anyone with a pulse, that players of such high quality consider other things such as a clubs junior set up. I'm sure it makes mention of it in their contracts as a deal breaker

If I contacted you, you would openly tell me about your recruits and how you got them to TTG?
You wouldn't, because it's none of my business. So don't kid yourself

Perhaps you could cut and paste your post into an email and send it to all your players so there's no more loose allegations or innuendo flung around..

*Bump* - interesting discussion from back in the day.. curious to know peoples views on this now? Have they changed at all - and if so which way?

Interesting that D6R GF will be contested by two young coaches as well, and appears to be more younger people putting their hand up to take on coaching roles this year.

Not sure if it counts bu I coached a winning Div 8 team at 22 way back in 1990. It was our 4th side that year.

Agree,

Personally im not a big fan of it all, im yet to see it work in a way that is overly successful.

Im also not a huge fan of playing coaches either but that could be because i was so average i had to concentrate so hard on getting my own kick there is no way i could think of the other 21 players.

Well said. That club is full of players that started there way back when I did in under 8's. There's a reason they stuck around or came back after being in the Norwood system and many are now playing Div1 footy there....

I'll always have more respect for a club who sustainably builds their own future rather than buys a flag and that's what they've done over a long period of time. That would make life a lot easier for a young coach too...

Different sport but I captain coached an A Grade cricket side/club to a losing Grand Final at 19.

Age is no barrier if you can be upfront, honest and listen to all age groups. I captained a B Grade footy side at 21 when I was working arvo's and couldn't make most trainings, none of the older blokes had any qualms with it, they let me know on a Saturday night after a few frothies if I acted like a dickhead.
