I believe Liam Shrive is being tapped up to return to Emus in 2009 as a player coach (Emus club song to be changed to Pat Benatar's "All Fired Up" to clinch the deal).[/quote]
as an outsider to this league can some-one give me the name of Shrive's dad [ & how old is Liam ? ] thanks

[shoe boy]

Aldinga are staying in the SFL in 2009.

All this talk and the best decision was made. Alot of people are now keen to dig in the heels and make for some real success.
On another note if the A grade win the next 2 games that will make it four in a row, we haven't even had back to back wins at the club for about 8 years! Would be nice to knock off Marion this weekend another side we have gotten close to on more than one occasion.

R/F,Great news and the right move.GOOD LUCK

I'm loving this coaching banter, keep it coming boys, here's what i know -

Neil Craig was approached some months back to take over, 2 meetings ensued and seemed happy with the club and it's structure's, made it very clear that he was in negotiations with another club (at a higher level) and that if things didn't work out that he would take over the position, since then he has resigned for another 3 years, oh well maybe next time. Other's interviewed so far are - Kevin Sheedy, John Cahill, Robert Dipierdomenico and Barry Robran, we are queitly confident that one of the above will end up at the Mighty Emu's next year...

I just can't believe you left out Choco He will be absolutely spewing he wasn't even considered.

You obviously know the way to this mans heart! The Shrive will be all fired up this weekend with his 21st at the club saturday night and a rock stars dress up theme it promises to be an interesting night

Not sure if getting the top job at the emu would be such a good thing,you could end up on a road to nowhere ,i mean by this of course they have won the past few if you take over and they dont will you be marked harshly???just a thought

That's the exact type of applicant that Morphett Vale will not be appointing, that being, someone who is of the beilef they are on a hiding to nothing instead of someone seeing it as a great opportunity to coach a very successful club with little to no development required, an opportunity to keep the "good times rolling".

You've made my day, Rodney ! Great news.

Good on ya Sharks great news wish you guys all the best,just a question thou will you be able to fill u/18 i know you had them last year hopefully you guys will.It should be easier to get kids to play there and not willunga pongy etc if the a grade can keep making inroads,i rekon you guys wont be to far away from some long due success

One of the clubs main aims is to fill an under 18 side and we think it is a realistic goal. Of course with a few more wins it may have made it easier but in that we have a great group of younger guys that are keen to get back on board.

If we have a comitted reputable coach then it will be a much easier task, Mex do you reckon you could photocopy the resumes that come in for the Emus A grade job and send them our way???

Can do Rodney... What happened to Cowboy..?? Former premiership player with Christies in their hey day, will tell you himself he was as tough as nails and last time i spoke to him was involved with your juniors, great bloke and would handle that age group well i reckon, what's he up to now..??

[The Mexican]

Would players with the opportunity to break a long standing record, that being 5 premierships in a row, be more concerned about the coach leaving or being part of history at the club..??

Do you mean M'Vales record?
Aldinga Premiers 1927-1932 - 6 in a row, 1934 - 7 in 8 years SFL

Think we (Aldinga) are a little bit off breaking that one for a while [/quote]

Yes mate club record.

Could be a very interesting night that one, some air guitaring and even talking from ol' "Pam Shriver"... Hope it's a cracker of a night and you can have a win to make it that much sweeter. However beware of the left jab that may be flying around towards the end of the night...

Cowboy Mex? Not ringing any bells, prob will once you say the name, so many people have different nick names at different places, liks ass to mouth, bosshog ha ha ha

Hey Mex,what is the news on Steve Hill and what he will be doing next year I have heard he is in the running to do the South eighteens if the SANFL go that way. I for one beleive M.vale have a coach in their own back yard who I am sure can do the gig down there,David Earl great bloke and all the credentials to fill the role. Your thoughts??

No news on Steve as yet, if that is the way the 18's comp go and South end up with Steve, they could do a lot worse, he handles the junior grades well at Morphies and would be a good fit... Knowing Steve the way i do i'm sure nothing will be concrete till this year's job is finished, it is his sole focus at the moment. As for Early, he has been Steve's assistant for 3 years now and knows the players well and i'm sure will be considered for the job when interviews come around, haven't spoke to him personally about the position and am not sure on his aspirations for next year.

[Hills]

ud think earl would be the front runner but who knows mate.wots the prob with bassani hills?

i dont think Bassani has the coaching abilities as some of the other blokes down at mvale. he had a very experienced sqaud down at EB last year and didnt make finals, the man is a great adminstrator, but as a coach i wouldnt appoint him. Would no doubt contribute to the club in some other way than what happens on the field!

He would more than likely want to play too...

So you obviously don't rate him Hills, have you been coached by him before in the past?

[The Hound]

My mail is that the SANFL u/18 comp is a fete a compli.

I haven't had a look at this weeks draw as yet but I am aware of a massive game down at Brighton Road Saturday...Cove V Brighton.... What are our thoughts.... Anyone know what the oval is going to be like???
I have heard the Brighton oval gets terrible... I think Cove will continue on there winning ways....

It does!! Might not be able to see those tiny goal posts under all the mud!

And for the record, I also reckon Cove will continue along their merry way, but Im still tipping Morphies for the flag.

And I also think it is Noarlunga Vs the Twisties this week? Could well determine who finish in or out of the finals.

Im on the bombers train they were easily the best side ive seen this year.I know i tipped against them last week but ill put the mokers on them and say theyll win in a hard tight contest.Im still think the jurys out on cove time will tell if they can win finals game,theyre taken all before them this year,but i must admit im not convinced.....yet

[Jono]

Who do you support or what games do you attend Know all.....Just enquiring as you said Brighton are the best you have seen!!! Reynella beat them a fortnight ago...

u13 - 6/7 Carnival
Can anybody confirm whether the SFL u13 carnival scheduled for this week has been cancelled. I note there is nothing on the SFL web site but then this would be nothing new. If it has been cancelled will it be held at a later date?

SENIORS Rd 17

Reynella V Valleys, Good contest Valleys to prevail
Flagstaff hill V Hackham, Yawn, more of the same bad publicity for SFL, Flaggies to stumble over line
Porties V Christies, will only be making up the numbers, Porties V BDOS 'C' grade game would more interesting. Porties
Noarlunga V Morphie Park, again more false hope, not expecting good quality footy. Noarlunga @ home
Aldinga V Marion, like to see Aldinga get over the line at least they are trying as a club
M/Vale V OSB, Morphies on the rebound by a country mile. Just on this how does the SFL explain the reigning Premier getting multiple games against the likes of Marion and OSB??

BDOS V COVE, Should be a cracker hope the ground holds up. Cove have the strength and the runners to account for BDOS, Cove by a whisker.

i dont rate him compared to Early from Mvale.

Cowboy Mex? Not ringing any bells, prob will once you say the name, so many people have different nick names at different places, liks ass to mouth, bosshog ha ha ha

Sorry mate, i know what you mean with nicknames, can play footy with a bloke for years and never know his real name... Also helps when trying to describe someone that you get their nicknames right... I was talking about none other than Craig "Killer" Curtis... Is he still around your club..?? Would fit with the 18's nicely...
