I hear Trinity have a new coach. Ex-Salisbury A grade coach

Which one lol

Couzner, been A grade coach for last 3 seasons. Think he is an old scholar.

Reckon any Salisbury blokes will travel up Main North Rd with him, seeing as he has been part of the club for 12+ years.

[The Bedge]

What does this mean for human_torpedo?

Still doing the ressies or moving on?? Surely after two very successful years he would've been very high, if not top on the list of replacement coaches?

I'm sure he will ask the question (wouldn't be doing his job if he didn't). Might be one or two but wouldn't think too many. He gifted pag a B&F last year so may be he will.

Am assuming it's Steve.
All Old Scholars and darn good footballers in their day.

I still want to know if the famed Ingle Farm Magoos coach is going around again....

I still want to know if the rotund Ingle Farm Magoos coach is going around again....

*edited for accuracy*

Answer is yes, think I've got one more season left in me - although rumors circulating maybe a player/coach role

Haha, mate, I just went for a 2km jog. That turned into a 1km jog 1km walk.

Which then turned into a 500m jog 1.5km walk.

Struggle. Town.

I reckon if you had a fitness test in Round 18 between Houghton and Woody South, there wouldn't be that much difference at all.

to quote the great and legendary Richie McCaw from his Chasing Great film - "its not about being fitter or faster, its about getting there with a shorter distance than your opponent".

Brains >> Brawn

Bollocks.

Yeah, "Computer Crashed" knows more than Richie McCaw

No I don't.
I said bollucks to the fact that apparently Houghton & Woody Sth were close fitness wise @ Rnd 18.
That's a fantasy.
You can't run longer and harder than the opposition, granted some handy footballers help, then you will always finish lower.

A FOOTBALLER sentenced to home detention for theft who wants to remove his ankle bracelet to play matches played just a handful of reserves games for a division six amateur team last year.

Lindsay Bassani’s lawyers this week urged magistrate Ian White to allow him to remove the monitoring anklet to play football, because he was paid to play, which constituted “remunerated employment”.

Bassani was sentenced to 14 months with a six-month non parole period after admitting to unlawfully using $9,000 of taxpayer money to buy household items while in charge of the SA Aboriginal Sports Training Academy.

The 38-year old purchased a 24-hour gymnasium while on bail for the fraud, meaning he can leave his home at any hour to undertake paid employment.

Bassani, who was paid when he coached the Echunga Football Club to a premiership, played six games for West Croydon’s reserves and C-grade teams last season.

The Advertiser understands that no West Croydon player is paid, unlike many other amateur clubs.

West Croydon Football Club president Scott Weinert yesterday said he was unsure whether Bassani planned to play at the club next season but said he was yet to register.

Yesterday, Opposition justice spokeswoman Vickie Chapman said Bassani’s case highlighted “a fatal flaw” in the government’s new legislation, which allows offenders to serve their prison term on home detention if they are not deemed a risk to the public.

“The public expects that a prisoner on home detention will still have the privileges of freedom withdrawn, but understands they’re allowed to work,” Ms Chapman said.

“To say a self-employed person can be absent their home prison 24 hours a day, or go play football because someone’s paying them, is definitely not what the public expects.

Ms Chapman said she would demand the legislation be amended before the end of the year to close the “loopholes” of what constitutes employment.

“That’s what needs to be defined as, clearly, it’s ripe for abuse,” she said.

“Self-employed offenders will be able to claim that, technically, they’re always working and those paid for sport or other activities will do the same.”

Ms Chapman said that could lead to convicted criminals socialising, completely legally, with sporting clubs or other groups because they were paid to play or participate.

“The public expects an offender to be allowed to work for a period of a day, usually a shift of eight hours, not to move about freely,” she said.

Attorney-General John Rau refused to speak about Bassani’s case, saying it was “not appropriate for me to comment on individual cases.”

“The courts have considerable discretion to impose conditions on home detention orders,” Mr Rau said.

“The law permits review of these terms where appropriate. The courts are best placed to determine individual cases, not the Parliament.”

Prisoners have previously been given permission to play sport “where it may assist rehabilitation”

Ripping off SAASTA i'm surprised he's even welcome at West Croydon given their strong aboriginal presence.

not only ripped them off for his own benefit, there would have been a lot of grants and handouts to people linked to Euchunga Football Club too.
As for getting paid to play footy, surely WC don't pay their C Grade.

Who cares? lol
