It's my understanding that permits are given by SANFL clubs. If a player has come from that SANFL club and they want to ensure they cannot be poached by other SANFL clubs then they give yearly permits to clubs that the player chooses to play for. I would think this is the case with Troy as he has played for Port.

Thanks for clearing that up razzman.

Hamley to get together in the club rooms to run through the song a few times.

What went wrong MC? I see Shaun's brother kicked another bag but still not enough! (Like that Swamp?)

If we were in the AFL, United's club president would be holding a press conference this afternoon telling us that the coach has the full, unqualified support of the board... It must be getting close to that?

Maybe that press conference will wait until after next week's game v Roosters. The spot might be booked for whoever loses that one.

I don't think its the coach maybe the players need to have a good hard look at themselves and start plying for the club and not themselves

I agree rarely is it just the coach who is too blame for poor form, especially given the amount of respect the players would have for Trav Opitz, but if you recruit money hungry individuals, thats exactly what I'd expect to get. The loyal local players (Lurch, Easts, Pyms, Rundle etc etc)cannot be blamed for that. However its a long season Wizard as I'm sure you are aware, and you only need to win 8 games to make the finals and with 11 or 12 still to come United are still a chance. With Sam Mc to come into that side, United are certainly not down and out just yet.

I agree that recruiting players that are money hungary individuals is rarely a winning formula. Do you have any inside info on who these players are at United Swamp? I would assume you're putting Burgoyne in that catagory but its hard to blame him for poor form as he seems to be contributing. I haven't seen too many Tiger games but the names each week in the Barracker seem to be pretty much the same blokes as recent years?

Peter should be playing in the midfield and taking games apart and still kicking 4 or more goals instead he doesn't leave any further than 25 meters from goal . he took a mark around half forward on saturday and went off for the blood rule. Not winning them games at the moment so I would say not worth the money

Doesn't matter who stood him. 7 he kicked. 4 in the first quarter and then only 3 the rest of the game. We put an injured player on him cause we new that he wasn't going to go far.

Terrible call Norm, anyone who's kicked 7 of 14 and by all accounts gave off a few, and a couple more that MC may have dropped , is doing his job at full forward. if peter was still up to running around in the midfield he'd be playing afl, doesnt matter what level your playing at, your still doing the same km's and obviously the body isnt up to it.

Who stood him?

Was looking back over some posts.... how much was Wally Hand pumpin his tyres up as Dirty Slapper, all 14 posts were about him

Hard to say "not worth the money" unless you know how much he is getting. Easy to speculate but i have heard that it is around $500 per game. Turned down bigger offers from other clubs to avoid too much expectation & came to United cos of his Dubby pub mate. Maybe you're being harsh?

I'm sure you think you could transfer what you do in the APFL to the AFL Ace of, but seriously!!!! You've surely seen Gilly play in the middle for our B Grade!!! Thanks for brightening up my day!

you honestly believe hes come out striaght from AFL on 500 a game ive heard from ppl around the league that he doesnt leave the forward line so how does he rack up the same kms in the forward line then what he would in the middle. I also laughed at that comment

[The Jack]

Now that I've stopped laughing, I think PB in the middle (regardless of how many kms he covered) would have more influence on the result than up forward. But then who would kick the goals? Maybe once Sam Mc is back, this may happen. Any word on his progress MC?

$171 per goal last week not a bad days work for PB

Exactly pea brain , I may have had a couple beers by then but re reading the post i think its pretty clear I was saying he cant run the kms required to play full time midfield, hence why he doesnt move far from the forward line.....

Sorry Jack, missed where the conversation switched to the elite midfielders of the bottom B Grade team

I really don't know (probably not), just saying what i have heard.

kicked 2 points only against Balak, does that mean the Tiges give him an IOU for that week?
