SAAFL Div 5 & Div 5R (2011)

[hollywood7477]

If your a side that is 'supposed' to be amongst the best in the div i would say a loss should hurt until at least preso's, after that move on, so whats that 3hrs? 3hrs to me is the required time to be pissed at losing a match. Unless you personally played a stinker, or you single handedly lost them the match in the dying seconds, and then you must forfiet your night and be ****** off all night.

Thems the rules.

Gone from the 2007/2008 days with training then at plympton. With Tony coaching it was you dont train you miss out and same with geno/shane in 2008. I never giggled or played around like a school girl after a loss, i dont even do it now with indoor soccer i play i hate losing and take it to heart

A loss hurts definately but for how long do you sook afterwards Bulldog????

I believe that the team should be very hurt by a loss but also it is not be the end of the world, so not long after your shower you should be looking at attoning for the defeat next week!
Oh i forgot 90% of the players at plympton don't even have a shower after the game they all have to go home and get mum to give them a bath!

Wow Jabber this is a first we actually agree on something. I totally agree with you. I hate it when blokes don't care enough to hurt after a game. Obviously guys don't care enough when they lose. I guess it's the youth of today, footy isn't as important these days to blokes like it was 10 years ago.

Id like to comment on the last few posts about Plympton FC. I agree with Jabber but would like to take it further and say that it was more about the way we lost games, this is why the personal/team disappointment should have been much greater.
These men and boys have the ability to play in a div 5 or 4 GF (IMO) but unfortunately don't care enough about winning for themselves and certainly not for our footy club. Unfortunately the younger generation are more concerned with what's happening after the game.
I witnessed most games last year and have to have a crack at our previous coach for his inability to make an impact on players attitudes especially during the game. I am stoked that we have this JC as our senior coach. I dont know much about his football background but I do know his attitude and character is what we need.

Having been a past player of plympton and also played under Symo I don't believe it was entirely his fault. 09 should have been the year u went up to div4. But alot of the boys believed they had won even before the pulteney game had even started. Having spoken to symo on numerous times during last season it was obvious that the guys didn't want to play for each other and there was alot of conflict within the playing group. Also the supporters weren't exactly happy with the A grade so it wasn't a happy team to be around.
Now having worked wiv Justin Calderbank at hardys going on a few years back we spoke alot about footy. At the time he was playing for Noarlunga in the sfl and he was a very handy footballer. Very smart and knows his footy so could be gd for PFC. Hopefully the dogs can finally get their act together and go up to div 4. The club just couldn't handle another year down in div5.

Hey Plympton lads. Is Vandeerhaak ( or something like that!) going around again this season? He tore us a new one last year!

Lockelys offering $150 to a young country footballer at the moment. They would wanna do their homework as this young lad is a fringe A Grader at best. I have no problem with clubs offering money, but with the new points rule this makes it very hard for us to keep a side together when other clubs are offering Uni Students this type of money.

It's tough to keep and recruit any players anywhere.....our last 5 Best and Fairest's all got encouraged by the Eagles to play at SHOC, Henley or Flinders Park. Very frustrating! When you develop players thru your juniors and then on to your seniors encouraging them to play SANFL, if they can and then those SANFL clubs tell your Best players to leave and play down the road....there is a serious problem with that system.

Re who I think your talk'n about, check the figures and check where his 'old man" is a Life Member, former B&F and Dual Premiership player. That's where you may find an answer as to why the Lockleys Demons see potential in the lad.

Obviously you blokes must give careful consideration to a player's current club's situation before you try to recruit them?

Hearing you, but this bloke is no gun. His old man did play there, but not sure he is a B&F winner.

If he is a life member then that loophole needs to be changed because at our club you need to play 300 games and give at least 10 years service at a committee level, hence we don't have many life members, but it is a real honour to be given out. Other clubs give theirs out as soon as someone has played 100 games making that rule another uneven playing field.

I'm certainly out of the loop on this one these days. But I recon both club's could claim the "Father Son Rule" and you may want to check the fine print on the Financials. An icentive to play is part and parcel of any recruiting deal and one thing I do know is his "Old Man's" photo still hangs on the wall at Rutland Avenue.

A son of a Lockleys gun!

Absolutely agree DD, Port Adelaide send our juniors to Port Districts, we lose a minumum of 4 or 5 a season, which is completely wrong and something should be done about it.

Good point on the player life membership rule, there should be clarification. At Haven it 100 games and to play 10 years

Just about 1/4 of shoc a&b grade are former plympton juniors who got told by the bay to go to shoc instead of sending them back to the club that originally fed them the players.

And they didn't go to and play for SHC?
