[The Big Shrek]

Pearce signed ages ago didn't he? Has been injured a lot recently.

Pearce signed ages ago didn't he? Has been injured a lot recently.

hasnt signed but verbal commitment good enough for the roys as his father is aroung the traps

[Dolphin Express]

The amount of times I've heard that.

[Jimmy_041]

Adam Pearce to Fitzroy(capt.at Uni last couple of years)maybe B.White from NAFC to join Josh Coulter would be 2 very good pick ups.

Is it the same Adam Pearce that does origami or something?


here it is:

Anyone able to shed some light on havens situation? I have heard that close to 14 A grade players from 08 will not be there in 09:
Watts - knee f*&^ed
Greg Hurn - army
Lipson - somewhere
Burridge- also somewhere
Davis - wherever burridge is
Rowlands - hills
Demsey - hills
rory - districts
Forrest - same
Ty - same again
Hood brothers - Salisbury Nth
(possibly then Pricey and Quirky)
Reece???

The New coach was heard during a meeting saying that it doesnt matter who leaves the club he will still take them to a grand final.....good luck

[Felch]

Yeah, in D7 in 2012...

[The Ash Man]

Yeah, in D7 in 2012...

[hill]

Told today that burridge has gone back so does that mean blake davis is back as well.

[Felch]

I think Davis will lob at Port Districts.

Burridge isn't 100% at Haven...likely though.

They also have plans for all club umps to partake in a basic umpiring course. The league does recognise that potential/actual bias does happen and are looking at curtailing this by club nominated umpires being assigned "non club" matches. ( I think this is a great idea)

Probably not the best explanation but hopefully you get the drift

Great idea for Club Umpires to undertake a basic training course.

Terrible idea to have them do "neutral" games, for many reasons. I am a club umpire and do it mainly because I know where I am umpiring each week right from the start of the season.. This gives me the the ability to know weeks in advance when other personal commitments come up. Love to join the panel, but only finding out on Wednesday can be difficult.

I understand the perception of bias, but in my 5 years as a club appointed umpire - there have been only 3 - 4 who show a real bias. The main problem I have with some club appointed umpires is they don't actually know what they are doing (okay, same thing can be said of most umpires - eh?) or they are only doing it for the cash without caring for their perfomance. The basic course as a compulsory requirement is a good initiative.

Then what about payment? Clubs negotiate / stipulate their fee with an umpire - are the neatural clubs going to pay agreed amount?

Unfortunately, I don't see this working. How about Club Umpires filling in confidential reports on the other umpire each week - and if a particular umpire is getting reports of bias from the other umpire - the league can advise the club to find someone else?

[Jimmy_041]

not sure if it confirmed he's playing though, would hold up on ur info there jimmy

Nah - I'm prepared to stick em on the block - he's playing

[Jimmy_041]

Any reason why anyboyd would want to play with PAOC. Have thought about it and still can find a reason to play with the reds. Have nothing going for them. The amazing clubrooms and oval maybe and great facilities - ha ha

Playing footy with blokes that you have played footy with since U8's - coin doesn't compare with that EBD

[Roaring Lion!]

With Shannon, Derek & Kristian those three themselves are very good ins for Salisbury West.

Agree with u there mate these boys can play a bit, Kristian played a major part in Fitzroys '07 Premiership & they will be very handy pick ups for the Westie's & with these boys there they will be in the finals mix come the business end of the season!

[Roaring Lion!]

Fitzroy Coaching line up for Season '09.

Lee Penrose (A Grade Coach)
Terry Bourke (Ass Coach)

Sam Portaro (B Grade Coach) *New*
Norman Pickering (Ass Coach)

Simon Jupe (C Grade Coach)

Pre-Season training started last monday night with 40 + blokes out on the track for 1st night things look positive for the Roys in '09!

Wattsy - Knee tendinitis
Hearn - Hasn't left yet but may go at any stage
Lipson - staying
Burridge - staying
Davis - Pt Districts, not a big loss spent most of 2008 season on the pine.
Rowlands - Birdwood, again no big loss getting on a bit and over the past two years he
spent most of it suspended.
Dempsey - Birdwood, quality player big loss if fit. Had troublesome knee last year.
Rory Duerden - Districts, took his money and ran, didn't do much last year anyway
Forrest - Districts, probably the biggest loss, was leading goal kicker halfway through
the year then his knee played up and slowed him down.
Ty Duerden - Districts, another loss, only young and very good defender rarely beaten.
Hood Bothers - Salisbury North, all big losses.
Pricey - has been out at pre season.
Quirky - Staying
McIntee - might be on the move, could be the final nail in the coffin if he goes.

So a few that you wouldn't be that fussed about going and a few that will be sorely missed. It will be a tough year at North Haven next year with relegation battles looming.

Davis is a big loss, strong body and keeps his head over the footy always. Not as flashy as some of the others mentioned, but gets the job done.

Check your info on Lipson too.
