Adelaide Plains Football League

Matthew Krieg named as United Coach 2016. Apparantly Crewdson only found out he wasnt coaching last night. Pretty unproffessional if you ask me

There must be an explanation.

Piss poor if true - there must be an explanation.

At the risk of seeming ignorant, why is this an issue? Crewdson was told he wasn't coaching and United appointed someone else. Seems straightforward??

Its mid-October, United have been finished for 10 weeks. If the coach was told he was not required prior to, or 1-2 weeks after the season, then yeah fair enough. If it was me I'd be pissed off, especially given that opportunities to apply for jobs with other clubs has likley been missed in most cases.

If Crewy was told they we going to advertise for job and that he was welcome to apply then fair enough.

I think that was the situation, they were going to advertise and held interviews etc. But not certain. United usually tick those boxes so would be surprised if that first scenario is the case.

[norm11]

I think United advertise every year and the current coach has to re apply if he wants to go on.

[Hidden Tiger]

I agree Swamp. United have left it so late the bloke has little or no chance of picking up another A Grade job. We were hearing Kreigs name over this way in August linked to United. He's been burnt big time but he's not the first and wont be the last coach to suffer that fate.

Well if thats the case and it would surprise me if it wasn't , I think the way the situation played out is reasonable. Like I said in my initial post on the topic - there must be a reasonable explanation and it would seem there is

[Mex]

interesting by tigers if true. anyone know kreigs history? never heard a thing about him.

Appears to be a very good get. Played footy with Centrals and has coached in the Hills and then at Centrals in a junior development role I think.

been centrals u18 coach the last couple years and a stint at birdwood before that. good operator

Interesting if true but hearing previous United coach was told he had the job only for the club to do a back flip while he was away. Rumours are the Football Director and some players have walked as a consequence

[Officejet]

Isnt Ware related to the outgoing coach.

I would be surprised if the football director had walked.
I'm not 100% sure who it is but I'm pretty sure everyone high up is well entrenched within the Long Plains/Dublin community

My opinion is Crewy is pretty unlucky but with a guy as good as Greig coming in, the club had to make the decision it thought was the best.
You can't let relationships get in the way of decisions such as this

I notice you're staying as far away from this as possible MC haha

[Snags]

Isnt Ware related to the outgoing coach.

My aswell pack Thompson brothers and ware's bags for them if crewy isn't coaching.

I doubt this will be a consequence of the decision - though I could be wrong. I'm guessing Ware probably played with Matty Kreig at Centrals back in the early 2000s.

Everyone will be happy to know our netball is on board. Meeting held last night with the apna president present.

Everyone will be happy to know our netball is on board. Meeting held last night with the apna president present.

The netball club committee has submitted a request to affiliate.
It's a positive step that the netball association has taken, seeking a meeting with the club's committee, but there are a few uncertainties with this.
The netball club is still to confirm its new committee, including a new president at its AGM on Monday night.
Player numbers and how many teams they can enter is also unconfirmed.
There are 28 teams ranging from under 9s competing in the summer competition at Elizabeth, great numbers.
How many of those players will be willing to travel to the country to play won't be known for some time.
So yes, there is a genuine expression of interest from the outgoing committee to join APNA. But there's still a fair bit to work out before it all goes ahead.
Apparently the AVNC presented quite impressively and one of their concerns was how well the football club will manage the shift. All very interesting.

Sorry to be negative, but why is it so important to have AV come join in 2016? I am keen for them to join, but why not say to them - ok, we want you join the APFL/APNA in 2017. We now have 12 months for us (APFL/APNA) and you (AVFC/AVNC) to work through the finer details and ensure that the incoming clubs are in a stable position (i.e. have stable committees that are aware and clear about the requirements to join the Adelaide Plains). The netball side of things all seems very rushed at the moment and that makes me nervous.

Clubs have been switching between leagues for over 100 years, what makes it so hard now?

Absolutely nothing if the incoming club has its shit together.

How is the footy coming along for AVFC. Do they have a coach and have they been allotted player points for next season?

Surely points would be worked out the same way they are for the other 7 clubs? % of wins over past 4 years. Cant see any alternative since they would come under apfl constitution and by laws.
