Southern Football League

Not what I heard mate and from a very reliable source who thought that he was all but signed. Was going up and hitting the piss with them even

Interesting to hear both sides to the argument about billings. My opinion is that early wasnt at reynella for a quick fix, but to build a culture and playing group that will want to stay indefinately. If 1 player was getting that much, i can guarantee whether it be sooner or later, feathers will be ruffled and the revolving door will continue to swing.

Is he even worth that anyway? Plenty of winies that would deserve $$$ before him.

I am new to the club Axle Rose and i can definatley say that you are spot on Early is not there for the quick fix, he is working really hard to change the culture and he seems to be doing a great job and i am thoroughly enjoying my time there.

If Tom Billings is getting anywhere near $700 a game then the Southern league or amateur football in general is in a bad place!!

Thats the SFL for ya the strong get stronger the weak stay weak. Good on Morphett Vale as much as ya hate them for winning ya gotta respect them for the fact that a very high % r home grown talent. Prob the best in the league or close to![/quote]

Results would suggest we do have the best home grown talent!!


Air cons flying out the door down at Reynella...... Sure does make up a fair bit of a player payment

Not sure the SFL is in a bad place 'Jets'... they could do with two divisions but thats a whole other story. Billings is getting well paid by Reynella which begs the question: Why do the quality players that have been there for some time stick around when they are probably on a quarter of what Billings will receive. Some will argue because they love the club etc etc. Whether its talked about or not amoungst the players I'm sure some of these lads go home thinking "Why the hell is he getting paid that much when I'm working as hard or harder and getting the same or better results". I know some are hanging around for that elusive premiership. I also know some have been offered very good money to go elsewhere. I'd imagine the bubble will burst eventually and these loyal Reynella boys will go to other clubs and get paid what they are actually worth (aka Ben Moore).
The other scary thing I'm hearing is Morphett Vale have got stronger with several players returning and some handy pick ups also. I also hear Shorty hasn't retired and will be going around again in 2010.

I think that you will find the majority are happy to remain at their club at a lesser amount if that means they have more cash available to attract the player(s) that will possibly win them a premiership. There are plenty of other ways to earn money and a premiership at the club you love is worth more than any cash.
Locals should never be paid large amounts anyway, if they don't want to play for the jumper, let them go. You pay to supplement what you have.

Hello everybody, been reading on this site for quite a time and it is interesting alot of the things that are said. I have been at Reynella a few years now and will admit i would not go to presentations on sat nights when evans was in control. (Went once, never again). Since Early has had control the culture has changed, presos are now a family enviroment, juniors are involved with the seniors for the first year, the club is becoming one, they are starting to remember that the juniors are the future and the footballers know they won't get away with much like under Evans. Yes we have recruited strongly this year, but to be sucessful you need to and with the likes of more clubs (Marion, Noarlunga and M/Vale recruiting well) you need to recruit to have more depth something Reynella has lacked for a while..and yes in this day and age you need to pay something for players not from your club, then you hope that they have a great year and enjoy themselves and want to stay around for a while. Some don't some will.

From what i read on this site alot of talk is all about Reynella, when was their last? 1977. The only people that remember second? Reynella. But i'll tell you, people wont forget once we do win one because once you forget where you came from there is nothing to strive for, with Early in charge this football club is striving for bigger and better things not just on the field but off.

Hope everybody has a great christmas and let the banter continue, and remember Enjoythegame....

good post ETG, carn the flies. bring on the footy just quietly

[adelaide bank]

I really dont understand why other clubs care so much about what reynella are spending.Why dont you just worry about your own available funds. If Reynella are fortunate to have the good sponsorship deals they have with TV and airconditioners etc then good for them .Instead of whinging about it why dont you look at your own clubs and think of ideas to create more revenue yourselves

[AFLflyer]

A big Merry Kissmyass to all SFL posters!!

Nope not true! Backy told Tanunda straight out very early. Yes he did spend alot of time with some of the Tanunda boys as his best mate and old house mate plays for tanunda.

I think Most peoples point of view on Reynella over the years has been that they have thrown away cash ( and t.v's and Air Con's) at the wrong people to try and buy there way to success. Maybe it has been desperate maybe it has been the right decision but in the end the results ( or should i say in this case the bridesmaid dress's ) speak for them selves!

So when it comes to other clubs commenting on the funds being thrown around at reynella, people are probably thinking .... Here we go again! Sure every club would love to have those sponsors at there disposal but in reality not everyone does. If we did tho, im sure the clubs would learn from Reynella's mistakes

IN MY HONEST OPINION........ Look after those players who have been loyal and stayed rather than grab the cash and run!! Every club has them, even the Flies!

I think your comments relate to the attitude of your club not being far behind them. In my opinion clubs spending big dollars on a single player in a way is a form of acceptable cheating. Reynella have a good list and even noarlunga but they are just impatient and want it now rather than hard yards towards it and earning it but rather buying it, in my opinion the only clubs that should spend are the bottom few clubs

[shoe boy]

to all a merry xmas and a happy new year

So considering all you M/V supporters preach that you don't get paid, how is the club looking after you blokes? Once the Premierships dry up I bet you blokes will start to lose more players than in the past. At the moment it's all good but how long will the loyalty last if they aren't getting paid much? Considering M/V have players that go chasing money Ewer, Beeching, Pittman, Sam J, Hodge etc and that was while you were winning what is going to happen once you lose one or two in a row? It's funny how you bag those blokes chasing money but welcome all of those types of players back to your club with open arms!

I would think becoming a Player life member at arguably the best club in the southern football club would be enough reward for anyone!
You should know THE BRAD, its not what you can pay the players at your club but the good times and great memories you can offer them.... Believe it or not but money isnt everything in football. To some it is tho!

3 out of 5 of the players mentioned have left the emus. But 3 of them have returned for reasons that have been mentioned above, and im confident that the other 2 will return in the not so distant future. Look out THE BRAD when that happens.

You mention Loyalty..... Well if this off season is anything to go by, the loyalty shown by our Premiership players has been nothing short of outstanding and rectifies the culture we are embracing at Morphett Vale. When you hear the ridiculous amount of ca$h being offered to some of the lads you wouldnt blame them if they left.

Reynella fell just short at the last hurdle, why would football people can them for trying to improve their list so the next step can be taken? They are doing what they need to do to win the big one so I say get off their back as you all sound like jealous school boys.

They got 200 kids under the age of 18. I would have thought the idea was to develop them, give them the opportunity to play senior football. Obviously thats not the case.
Good luck them.
Certainly not jealous.
Love to can them.

Well said Big Red. That is coming from a one club player. A person who is loyal to his club and his mates.
Some of our mates have to go and do there own thing. When they come home we certinly welcome them, thats what mates do.

[ohh i dunno]

I don't know if this has been mentioned before but I heard from the source that matt skrypek matt corstons and rugby from south are heading up to kaniva for $700 plus and a handy sign on fee. The deal is all signed
