He was an emotional wreck and was unashamedly crying his eyes out. Seeing him like that snapped me out of the hysteria and whilst a dose of empathy swept over me the overriding emotion I had was one of admiration and respect. Here is a bloke who wanted something so much that when it didn't happen he was overcome - yet he had the strength of character to face it, make his way over and shake the hand of the very people that denied him. People talk about putting your head over the ball and going back with the flight but what that Raider did was raw courage in my opinion. Much respect to you, whoever you were.


that may of been myself, although there were a few of us letting the tears flow.

Win lose or draw, respect and sportsmanship are two qualities everyone should exhibit. Everyone that was associated with MP showed nothing but respect in return.

Awesome stuff mate, there were tears aplenty on both sides.

We did offer some minor incentives to the new players as in subs reductions, club attire and a few odds and ends, but our budget this year was smaller than last year. This group played because they have brought in to the club culture. Obviously we need to look at things a little differently going forward.

Oh sorry we must've been confused by this comment:

Or do minor incentives only count as payments when they happen at clubs other than MP? ;) :lol:

"We don't pay players! It's an incentive scheme!"
Fair dinkum.

Again with his hysteria about paying or not.

We paid a couple of players this year using a variety of methods. One was also for his time as a coach.

What of it? Who cares!? Why do people get so defensive and/or inquisitive about it?

Probably a mix up with lingo I'd suggest.,,

We paid a coach, who also played - counts IMO. We sponsored players by waiving fees for subs, shorts, socks. We also chipped in to help with some moving costs. We also found work for a few players.

They're all "payments" in my book. Incentives, payments, lures, carrots whatever.

On another note, the Mitchell Park FC playing and coaching group heard a rumour that one of our supporters drunkenly pranked the Houghton Football Club with a taunting phone call Saturday night. We were all mortified when we heard and our Captain insisted that I post an unreserved apology on here.

That's not what we're about at all. Shitty thing to do and it made all of us incredibly angry. Apologies.

Ay? Mitchell Park have always gone along with standard promotion/relegation rules and have in fact gone up when we didn't have to and knew we wouldn't be competitive.

We asked politely to be in D7 in 2014 as we finished second to bottom in 2013 but were refused because of all the palaver going on elsewhere.

We will be in D6 next year. Looking forward to the monumental challenge ahead.

Rumour is false mate no need to make an apology.

I thought my opinion was quite clear.

By the way, how many Mitchell park games did you attend to form your opinion that they will struggle in div 6?

As i drove past the Maid of Auckland today i saw a few Mitchell Park footy jumpers around the front. Mad Monday following a premiership is one of the best days around!
