Could be some big seafood nights at Milo's next year. May be a long way to go, but when you can get paid more in a saturday than you do working full time all week im sure it may be something he has a look at.

Prescott almost left 2 years ago to another club if a certain deal was done. But it fell thru. Interest rates went up today maybe the $$$ been offered around may have to rise? to close some deals.

Your on the money there Punter from what Ive been told, and that was to a rival SFL club. Also nearly went Amatuer league in 09.

I know one of the Morphies boys said 'why would you leave M/V'. I know your club is simply perfect and your poo doesn't stink but maybe I should ask some of the Victor Harbour boys why they left? Doesn't mean you dislike the club anymore, but personal circumstances all change. When you get offerred fe extra $$$, it can be pretty handy. From what Ive heard today, there maybe some $$$ spent at Myponga in 2010 with former Emu/Panther announced as coach. With Clay Smpson now coaching there, I wonder if he will entice brother Dylan & few other Emus to raise the bar as they looking at becoming a more professional/competitive club. Isn't the same club who approached and nearly signed Pollard last preseason?

Every past player, coach & supporter shares the responsibility of what a club is today. While on the most part I respect M/Vale, especially what they have achieved in recent years, but there are pockets that does not make your club PERFECT. In some part, in my opinion, that may be the attitudes & behaviours of a minority that may lower the respect that can be gained from the outside. Every club has this minority that brings down the positive image. Maybe its a small group of M/Vale supporters such a yourself that makes people from opposition clubs view your club as a bunch of ignorant ars......?

[cyclops]

i think u maybe getting confused with our club and the one on brighton rd.get a life mate,by the way winners are grinners loser!

[spot on]

Injured Phontom, I am the one who said "why would you leave M/Vale" that was not said with the thought in mind that at M/Vale we are perfect & our poo doesn't stink. Let me say this, how do you become a player life member at a club if you hop from one to another for example?. Have you ever been involved in a winning premiership? let me tell you it is a great feeling. Also at M/Vale there is something else money can't buy & that is mateship. How could we think we are perfect when our B Grade didn't even make the grand final with the team we had? I could go on but won't, have a nice day IP

[Injured Phantom]

Thanks for the reply 'Spot On'. I agree with some points you raised. I did mis-interprete your 'money cant buy' statement obviously, but stand by the claim that "some" of your supporters do have an ignorant/arrogant attitude. Yes I did play in a winning premiership, and yes you do form a bond with the team mates you shared that with. I had played with a couple of clubs (not once as a $ recruit) and have remained mates I have become with at all those clubs. I agree that having mates at a club plays a significant role in remaining or i my case returning to a club.
I am no longer involved at Reynella as I have commitments elsewhere. Having said that, when I get a spare afternoon I will go watch the Wineflies. Not because I am paid, or shared a premiership, but because I too have become mates at a club. I am sure you have plenty of nice guys at M/Vale (the few I've met all seem like good blokes), but mateship & top fellas is not isolated to the Emus. Believe it or not, there too are plenty at Reynella (as I am sure there are at all SFL clubs).
I do agree, club-hoppers may not form as tight a bonds as guys who played together for 10 years, but it does depend on the effort they make. If M/Vale did not pay a cent or give any special previleges, could you be confident that you would retain all your players? Whatever your employment is, would you turn down an offer to earn a substancial amount of $$$ with similar circumstances?
I have no comeback to player life membership ... other than congratulations on that acknowlegement. It's satisfying when a club repays an individual for their contributions to making the club a better place.

Thanks IP yes I guess we do have those few supporters you speak of, can't do much about that. I can tell you one player has been offered 4 times what he is paid at M/Vale to go to another club but will not be going, and believe me he could use the money.

Congrats to Craig Bevan on winning the Cove FC B&F last night. Fantastic year and well deserved winner. Lets hope he goes again in 2010. As good as they they come in reading the game.

Was a good night and enjoyed by all. Well done to Ralph and his social committee for organising the night. A fitting farewell for Ralph Platten on his retirment as president of the Cobra's, A great 5 years by Ralph to top off his years of coaching.

I have heard around the traps Bacchy from Christies is off to Bridgewater HFL - this is the third person I know off to have recieved huge offers from this HFL club. BIG loss if true - I know this get talked about each year but my source is good - can anyone from Christies confirm this

Oh, jeez. You don't have to be from Christies to confirm that this is utter codswallop. You're probably right about the huge offers, though - heard Bridgewater gave Lynchie 90 grand to field a side!

Well done to Ryan Wade on Saturday night taking out the marion Best & Fairest - tops of a great year for the big fella. Well done to all the award winners. Also congrats to young Mickey Myers with his life membership - not bad effort considering I believe he is only late 20's - well done Mickey you are a great servant of the club. Thanks to all that attended it was a bloody fantastic night. Bring on 2010!!!!!
