What's happening @ South?

[whufc]

I agree with both of you.

If i was to say how much some of the Central star such as Gowans, Slade, O'Sullivan and Callinan were really on all the other team supporters would be disgusted at how much there club is paying half as good rejects.

I would almost dare to say that if the prices of every single player in the SANFL was released Central would be lucky to have 1 in the top 10 highest paid.

[dash61]

Add slattery to that list, but now he is going,,, also add lawry to the list,,,, very pricey indeed

[Barto]

There's going to be a lot of screaming coming out of Noarlunga soon, that's for sure.

I've never worked out why it is such a losing culture at South. It doesn't matter who they put in as coach, they go nowhere.

Even after 8 spoons we managed to pick ourselves up and get a flag. These guys have just seemed to drift around the low-middle part of the ladder since I can remember.

Would have thought Glenelg might have got him since he owns a business down there, same about Torney, I haven't heard that he's in the running with us.

Mate if Glenelg scored every player who either lived or worked at the Bay, none of the other teams would be able to field a side!

[Punk Rooster]

Still not convinced that Torney won't turn his back on South and play for North yet either...

interting that Torney grew up supporting North Adelaide...
...as most peole should!

I will be bitterly disappointed if Jason decides to play elsewhere. He is the type of player with the moral fabric our club is gagging for. Will make a great leader around the place and provide plenty of experience for what may well be a very young side. I don't think he's the type of character to grab at cash elsewhere and put SA in the too hard basket. He's always played well for us and seems to have some pride in the guernsey.

[Barto]

It's going to be a lean year for the Panthers next year unless they can recruit well to replace the losses.

[darley16]

What losses? So far all we know is Clarke off to North, maybe Warren off to Langhorne Ck and that's about it. Let's be a little patient people and not jump at shadows tis very early days.

When Blighty took over the peckers he showed no less than 31 players the exit door.
It didnt do that club any harm..

Confirmed and on the NAFC website that Clarke has signed with them today

South have begun steps to do something concrete about dealing with the losing culture that makes up South Adelaide. The blunt facts are that for way to long the club has been made up of players that dont care a stuff about or respect the jumper and the colours of the club.
............

Steps like
1.Appoint a Coach who won't take crap from the players.
2.Appoint a Coach who will cut club favourites for poor form or team balance.
3.Appoint a Coach who won't tolerate interference from the Board and past-players.
4.Appoint a Coach who can take the club into the finals for the first time in a generation.
5.Appoint a Coach who will be a handy scapegoat if interfering board members, past-players and supporters get paranoid over the prospect of success and white-ant him until he is sacked 3/4 way through a season.

Sounds like a great plan. Wonder why we haven't tried it before?

Spelly can you list the names of coaches sacked from each club during a season.

3 I can think of: Don Scott, Ken Sheldon, Rob Pyman.

You're right! Woodville won premiership after premiership after that! And then folded...I mean amalgamated & since then, 1/2 the supporters don't go to the footy anymore 'coz they've still got the sooky sooky la-las & the others still bitch & moan about what happened & try their darndest to denounce what happened. All went rather well.

LMAO

That's what immediately came to mind when I read that as well....

.....and this was all a direct consequence of Blighty sacking those 31 players! Rats toss bag indeed!

I thought that Don Scott quit, rather than got sacked?

It wasn't about immediately winning premierships at the time Centurion.
For woodville it was about being competitive onfield after years of thumpings.
They turned the corner pretty quickly and started playing finals football.
If Blight had stayed rather than go to Geelong they might've ended up with a premiership.

It's a VERY similar situation to Panther land at the moment.
