Sorry SD. Happy 250!
Magnificent effort from our Prez - there is not one person who works more tirelessly around Hope Valley than he - I only wish everyone at Hope Valley could share in his achievements tomorrow but unfortunately didn't get a B grade spot.

But, if we didn't these guys wouldn't play at all, I feel for all the coaches trying to rotate each week, it's a tough job.

In theory it sounds wonderful... Yeah 25 blokes get a game, how great for participation
But like u, when u actually sit there on the bench and see how demoralized at least 5 to 10 players become, knowing they'll barely get 2 quarters on the ground, u soon cop a feel that its not an enjoyable day out for many especially after all the effort each individual puts in to prepare themselves to get there
And like u say what also a difficult proposition for the coach having to play rotation rotation rotation all day instead of being to watch the game
Did u notice or observe after the game or at club last night, the evil eyes from those who spent most of the game on the bench? A few shitty boys around?

If I was coach I be inflicting 22 and if players get cut and still come back next week that desire as a team makes u stronger because its a fight for spots and an urgency to perform or your out!!

Not really to be honest, this week there was about three that got very little game time, one was his first game and hadn't trained even yet, late inclusion. The other is a new to footy player, great guy but not all that good yet, will get better with time. The other was carrying an injury so he was nursed through. 23 would be easier, but no way as a club can we name only 23 in the c and d grade regardless of ability and have 4 guys miss out really just to make the coaches job easier. We take their subs and they should get at least some game time. The harsh reality is some guys are just no good, they want to play and pay to play but still can not cut it. I would actually like to see us refund or apply discounted subs to these guys the following season. Why should they pay as much as others to play and not get on the field as often. Does it cost as much to field a Div 8/8R combo as it does to say field a C1 and C3 combo for example?
