SAAFL Division 1 2013

Well you wouldn't want to go to Broadview for a chat, and then say "no" anymore would you?
That apparently means you're a money chaser.

When leaving your current club, chatting with 2-3 clubs would be natural wouldn't it? Doesn't mean you're shopping around for the best $$, maybe just looking around for the best club too.

You do mean the best club being the one who pays the best $$$$.....

Of course the club offering the most coin would be top of the list. BUT if you're decent guy, the atmosphere of a club should play a massive part in the decision of where to play.

Decent guys!!!......Yes I see......a "package"......paid top dollar, community spirit, a welcome mat, a bit of hero worship, being part of Club's traditions......., all desirable of course.....but for most subject always to a better offer elsewhere..... Look at a Club's Honour Board highlighting Committee members, and players with 100, 200, 300 games wearing the same strip. They will show you who the genuine "decent" guys are.....

In this day and age you cant knock the blokes that are capeable of getting paid the big $$ taking it, the cost of living is huge these days and if you want to get ahead in life why not take money that people are offering to you ( there not steeling it) to play footy,

and i am most certainly not one of these players on the big bucks,

i know that being paid does help towards saving for the wedding 300-400 bucks over 18 games 6-7 thousand dollars not bad

Don't have a problem with anyone if he can and wants to make a few bucks from football.....That was'nt my point. If he loves his mum, goes to church, has a dog, he may well be a "decent" bloke...... But from a Club perspective let's not confuse someone who is "gun" for hire with someone who shows loyalty to teammates and the Club as being a "decent" bloke.

Yes Griffiths is a fantastic ruckman, when you allow him to use his right hand freely. About 6.9 - Heading to Nuri or Angaston is what I am told and was told the amount, which was huge.

What is different to him and most ruckmen, is that he goes forward and takes a catch and has the ability to kick a long goal. Unlike many ruckmen, he kicks a long ball, and accurately.

Don't have to take him to the bench, and can rest him up forward, rather than another interchange rotation.

Only real noticeable weakness. Can stop him with his ruck work as only rucks right handed. Good at the centre knock, when the opposing ruckman can't cross the line, but get on his right hand side after that, and it severely restricts him. Gets a bit pissed when you take his right arm out of it. Also at boundary throw ins, you keep on his right side and don't let him free up his right arm. Sounds simple, but isn't. Still 6.9 and does not get any smaller, as the game goes on.

Big loss for TTG on field but from what i have heard wont be missed from the off field side of things. Has a tendency to get a bit fired up when on the piss and got into a few arguments with team mate/s and supporters from the club. Not 100% sure if true but have heard from a couple of people particulary after there gf win.

He's been training hard. Is a great tap ruckman and will be at his best with a good engine.

isnt he rhett biglands brother

[Demon Juke]

What's going on with the Ettridge boys at Gaza? are they training at United - ap league??

[Footy Chick]

Go and read my post in the AP league forum.

$900 a game each I was told last night. Chances are that their clearance has been held at league headquarters - and if this is true (and my source on this one is very close to the boys) then look out for another clearance soon.

Mind you, these 2 seem to have a tendency to change their mind more than they change their socks

Well when you've signed a contract months ago, you probably should stick to it rather than continue selling yourself to country clubs. It seems they're in an awkward spot now

Only awkward spot is they are forced to play at Gaza or don't play football this year. Can't be good for Gaza trying to force people to play for them.

[Mr Beefy]

To me it just highlights the stupidity of not being about to put clearances in until 1st Feb.
