BL&G Football League

[snoozer]

South wouldnt make the finals if they started now. When you celebrate a win, like a premiership your never gunna be successful. They are the ultimate party club! Showing Herzick the door is a step in the right direction but the blokes they have recruited are not better than the ones that have left. Should be a another long winter for the lions next year.

Jugsy - finally someone talking my lanuage!
I have a very close relationship with some lads that were let down, sorry i mean coached by Mulligan last season and this is him to a tea... he thinks he is an AFL coach and comes out all guns blazing; pre-seasons, reports, directions, reports, team rules, reports, tries to completely change the club and then really never actually delivers on his job "COACHING AND MOTIVATING A TEAM". Dont get me wrong, from all reports he is a nice guy, has all the credentials, but cant get the job done.
we've all seen it before, the guy that is over-qualified for the job, has all the creds, you hire him and he cant make it through a weeks work... He's probably lucky that Kym Hilliard sticks by him, as Mulligan cant even stimulate a conversation with another adult...
I dont ever feel sorry for South or old mate "ship-jumper" Milligan... I just question thier motives... Can they not see how important it is to get good blokes into a country football club (e.g. a Ben Britton). You dont need a university degree to run, be involved or play in a country football team...

Swooper, you are judging a bloke on one season at Kapunda where they were lucky to get a dozen on the track and fielded a side with about 6 players actually up to A grade standard. Even then they managed to be fairly competitive most of the time. So stop knocking a bloke for having credentials and trying to put some proffesionalism into a club that sadly needs it. ps what are your credentials by the the way?

Beer-bucket - please refer to last seasons results - South 0 v Kapunda 2. Who only had half a dozen A graders = Kapunda, so South had what 3 ??? Chin up old son...
Again u need to check the stats, cos credentials and Jim Beam cans dont mix... So back to coaching under age football fior Mulligan...[/quote]

Oh, I just got it Snoozey, your dirty on Milligan as you couldnt even get a game when Kapunda had to pull up u/15s to fill the A grade. Toughen up princess.[/quote]

Beer-nuts - your hearing me, but your just not listening... Should've and could've dont mean sh1t in the real world (that you apparently dont live in). 2-0 is 2-0... you cant make icecream from duck-sh1t... YOU LOST and i'm happy to advise that the same WILL happen agian this year...

I'm not sure why I bother replying to some of the gooses on here but will try again and will write reallllllllly sloooooooowly so Snoozer can understand.

WAKE UP SNOOZER!!!!!
I am not debating the fact who is the better side out of South and Kap, they were both shit last year so it doesnt really matter. You, Mr snoozer came on here babbling about Milligans coaching style and I simply pointed out he got some good results with a team full of duds. Comprehendo??

The top 4 look about right, South Gawler being the highest ranked Gawler side ? They must be doing some hard yards at pre season.

[drifter]

Heard a story today that L. Westhoff could be headed to Tanunda next season. Can you confirm anyhing Swoop ?

Definetly building some legs Drifter, heard the same thing today from a magpie supporter.

[Shirtfront]

Not sure if posted before but heard that Freeling likely to pick up 3 ex north players as a 'package deal'. J.Coulter, B. White and Shubert. Talk is if they all get together could be a big job for Greenwood to 'control' them, socially that is.

What recruits have Willaston picked up, i know they were courting one of our blokes form Broadview, but no luck.

Could find better company to have around the club.
Could be a bit to much puffing the magic dragon.
Willaston look to be ready for a long winter with little activity coming from the Seelander camp.

I am pretty confident Brett White will be coming home to Sollies.

Heard a story Tom Willoughby was looking to try out at Central Districts and Corrie Eichner gave him the ol' guilt trip with the selfish,poor clubman type speil!
In my opinion it is Corrie (and the club?) who is selfish in expecting a kid who has battled his guts out for a club in an ordinary team to hold back from advancing his own football just because "John Elliott " has decided to splash the funds this coming season. I mean Corrie is a noted football traveller himself! Has he ever been accused of being arrogant I wonder?? If you ever see him with a toothbrush hanging out his arse he is obviously brushing his teeth!

[drifter]

Checksider, I think you will find that Corrie mentioned to him that perhaps with a year or 2 of really good country football, he could be ready to have a real crack as a 21 year old. He will become an even better player with a couple of years experience under his belt. He had a good year in 08, is a great lad and has a great work ethic. What he is up against is there are a lot of guys out at Centrals similar size, to get looked at you really need a weapon that makes you stand out a bit from the pack. Just look at Louis Hadden . Good luck to him, but i think the picture you have been painted isnt quite the way it was said . What I cant work out from your post is who the hell is John Elliott and whats has having a toothbrush hanging out your arse got anything to do with it ?

Well I heard the story from pretty close to the horses mouth and having previously been involved with Corrie at one of his old clubs Im pretty sure the picture would be around the mark. As for having a good year in 2008 I think you will find he had a great year in 09. (BLG rookie of the year in fact). Why not have a crack while you are young Drifter? I think Freeling would get back a better player if he has a year or two at the Dogs than the Dogs will get if he has a year or two at Freeling (and Dealing!!) I would wager that he wont play for either club this year now anyway, such was the effect of that conversation!

PS As for who is John Elliott??? Do some research mate.(Just drawing a comparison-perhaps an exaggerated one- between 2 club powerbrokers and the arrogance that can come with the freedom of cash in footy clubs.)

PSS Toothbrush story = Eluding to the anatomical position of his head!

[drifter]

my mistake on the 2008 thing. I think if he wants to have a crack, then have a crack as a young bloke, just remember he's been there before. I hope he does well and he could very well come back an even better player, just noting it could work just as well in his favour the other way, after all he would still be only 21, not a veteran yet ! I reckon that the club would love to see him or anyone get to the best level they can. When you say he wouldnt play for either club, whose the other one you are talking about, Centrals ??. Who would he play for then ?

Possibly no-one. I mean what a waste. I love my country footy as much as anyone but we need to realise that while it is a huge weekly thing for country clubs it is launching pad for a few privileged players who have the potential to make a career out of football. Tom may not be at that level but the attitude of waiting til he is 21 or so (simply cos this is spend up time) virtually extinguishes any hope of that faint opportunity. I would say good luck, stay on good terms and come back to the club with everyones respect and help pass on whatever you have gained-not the you are letting us down approach. Look at Matthew Slade, he WILL return mid-season for Gawler Central buoying the spirits of all involved, taking the club to another level of professionalism and probably saving Wacka's coaching career! Sladey struggled to get a league game at 1st 'cos there were plenty of blokes his size and I wouldn't say he had a major weapon other than G&D.

[drifter]

fair enough, dont believe in putting the guilts on anyone, at the end of the day its his call, but if he didnt play for Freeling, why wouldnt he play for Centrals ? All I'm saying is sometimes players like him get a better look in at league clubs when they have built up a bit of a reputation. I'd almost say this is tougher than reserves these days which is all full of young kids. Good example you have used with Sladey, good inspiration for other local boys. Do you really think he'll play or is it wishful thinking. that one is a bit like the story that the Bakers are going to leave Willaston every year

[Checksider]

Just re-read your previous msg where you mentioned Centrals(?). Only clarifying Gawler Centrals haven't approached him to the best of my knowledge. I mean't it was between Freeling and Central Districts.

[aceman]

Heard a story today that L. Westhoff could be headed to Tanunda next season. Can you confirm anyhing Swoop ?

Very strong story in town that he's signed at Gaza.

yeah just meant Central Districts not Gawler Centrals
