Dids, maybe it would help the small minded people if you put the truth out in the open. The doggies aren't throwing cash around like the rumour mill insists they are because they spent their player budget on installing steps at every sink, bar and trainers table so J Hooper could reach stuff. T12

I know dids. I won't out him to prove you wrong but I will say this - he is not paid a cent other than the odd pizza award he occasionally gets for getting in the best. He is an integral part of the club committee and has made a significant contribution during it's transition from league...

So it was Bomber's fault that Grigg refused to drop his under performing nephew when the supporters and selection committee members said he wasn't worthy of his place in the team? And was it also Bomber's fault that 2 members of the selection committee stood down over that matter, after which...

True Johnno. As I wrote, not ticking enough of the boxes.

Far to simplistic Blueboy. There are so many more factors that work for and against clubs other than population base. Club management, recent success, a reasonable prospect of success, family links, facilities, culture all count towards making a club attractive to recruits and retaining locals...

Good to hear from you again JC! Gotta agree with most of what you wrote. Especially the bit about VT. How on earth is it possible for someone to go from playing in the greatest league on the planet to one of the lowest ranked leagues in the state after the clearance cutoff date? If a seconds...

Of course they will be! But now that the issues at Tat are being dealt with the team can concentrate on playing football again.

It would take more than simple disagreements with the coach for these two to walk. I agree that the final decision should be with the Senior coach. Except for when there is a conflict of interest. Sean, as a member of numerous committees you would no doubt be familiar with the common practice...

If you're going to call into question the integrity of the 2 assistants named above then I'm calling troll. You set up and account on the same day as you start spitting venom about how other posters are posting rubbish. Now you're accusing said assistants of having hidden agendas? Because a...

You mistake anti-Melbourne for pro-long term survival of the club. These same long time supporters know what it took to earn the thousands of dollars that spent on out of town recruits every year. They're the ones who volunteer their time to stand behind the bar, serve meals at horse shows and...

Yep. Same guy that most long time supporters are saying is not up to GVFL senior level. Makes too many basic skill errors. Leads the goal kicking by virtue of being the focal point, not through being superior to fellow Bulldogs. 2 Assistants stand down over it. If you think there's nothing to...

The kdfl website has Tally 1.5 11 beating Rushy 1.4 10. I know it was wet but surely that can't be right? Would have to be the lowest winning score I've ever seen.

What is the eligibility criteria for the league rising star?

Great tip there Nostradamus.

Not sure why so many feel the need to pot Rochy on here. I had many a run in with Rochy players on the field back when I played but have nothing but respect for how the club goes about it's business. It's a credit to the good people of Rochester that they are able to compete with the bigger...

Agree with this. Not many clubs are striking a good balance between player payments and other areas l of investment. Infrastructure development is one area that clubs generally underfund, especially where opposition facilities are concerned. This is somewhat understandable given that there is...

Thanks. That Hall & Staker photo could have it's own PhotoShop thread.

Cute couple

Haha!! :thumbsu:

It's fun to stay at the...

I'll tell you why. Footy clubs operate under a system where they commit to spending money they haven't made yet. Sure they might have some cash in the coffers to start with and they will have commitments from sponsors but a fair chunk of their operating costs are funded by what they make during...

The most misleading surname of anyone I've ever met. I hear he's retired.

Early days I know but who are the interleague chances from your club? From the gum I'd say the Barnett brothers, Stammers, Giles and Connally should be looked at. Will be some tough competition for spots!

Re: Kdfl - 2011 Not sure about the coach. The tat recruits are all pretty handy. Rumoured to be at murch next year are - Tom Durward - GVFL interleague player who can play anywhere on the ground. Tall enough to play key position with a big enough engine to run through the middle. Has a...

Perhaps you should be the one confessing to having an alias - you're sounding more like goechuca with every post! I actually agree with one of your earlier posts in that I would much rather see the money used on Melbourne recruits given to Tommy D to keep him but it's just not as simple as a...

The Tatura AGM last night would have been the appropriate forum for airing your concerns with the coach and the recruiting strategy. You know... where people could see your face while you said your piece... rather than from the cowardly place you've chosen to launch a very personal attack...
