The disappointing side is that you the players of Ingle Farm did not experience that feeling when the final siren blows and you then know that you are the premiers. I as the coach have only experienced that siren when you lose but i have been told from players who have won flags it is a feeling that can not b explained, i wish that you had got to have that experience.
Also would like to thank everyone i have met from other clubs over the past two years as coach of the owls, but i have completed my 2 year contract, got the club to div 6 and its time for me to move on due to certain circumstances.
You sir, after reading your words, are an absolute credit to the code of football.
It was a most disappointing end to the game, to not be in celebration, but in absolute panic, wondering if our families on the other side are safe.
We at Ingle Farm are sick of grubs sullying our club name due to incidents that have no direct affiliation to our club except the fact that we are there at the time.
Our biggest mistake in this instance, was to agree to a night game where the coach of the opposition was celebrating his 400th game as coach/player im led to believe. Some of the opposition dropped a few dog act cheap shots during the game and this just fired up a rather hostile crowd. That night is now written in SAAFL history pages.
Obviously, another glowing report 2 weeks later, from this particular opposition saw them removed from the competition.
Now it seems another club up the road has "possibly" inherited this rather undesirable crowd.
AV really need to clean out their laundry basket and rid themselves of the soiled garments before this gets out of hand. They have a great facility and good grounds for junior development.
The shame of it is, im certain that there are quite a few great people out there who just want to play a game of footy, as was the case with the "other" northern club but unfortunately the few undesirables spoil it for the many.
BP, commiserations to you and your guys. They are a great bunch of guys and we hope they stay together to give it another tilt next year. Just a shame that this(and im only speculating of course) has possibly cost them a great coach.
