Yeah no worries ....
Of course ...All great clubs with great cultures need blokes like you trying to download the live stream on their Iphones ...thats what great clubs are built on ??
Anyway, all the best to you and your woeful club ...what ever your connection is? did you play Bingo at their...
mmmmm.... ok ?
Not sure if you are a bit ' special ' & this is the first time you have been unsupervised by your carer on your laptop but if you were unaware of your coach pulling out on the weekend then you obviously need to either :
A/ go to a NEAFL game one day.... there is a website you...
From what I have heard over the last 3 months is that it would help if Eastlake got some professional individuals involved to steer their club in right direction as it currently is a debacle
Is it true the new coach pulled out in the warm up on the weekend ?? Leaving his young teammates to...
TBI,
I also heard this from some ACT friends also.... think the Giants have realised the games have become fruitless in their development and prep as they now have Academy kids playing at good level against other academies and their reserves side is much stronger obviously with list growing in...
Hi TigerTuff
Always interested to see when people use the term 'professional' when discussing new coaches
What would make the new coach anymore professional than the previous one at Eastlake ?
I spoke with an Ainslie FC person recently & as I understand it , the previous one was level 3...
Anybody in Canberra footy circles that can confirm the new Eastlake coach has taken the club management to task already over their preparedness for NEAFL 2015 season? In fact has threatened to walk out ?? Unless there is a major change ?
Rumour is that they have lost up to 20 senior players from...
Is there any truth that AFL officials are still monitoring player changes and list development of NEAFL clubs to ensure quality games and competition in 2015 and beyond ?
There is one Canberra club under particular scrutiny and deemed by some at AFL to simply not be a NEAFL standard in all...
I have it on good authority from a GWS board member that Eastlake thought they had Stephen Gilham across the line which is why they made the decision to sack Anthony Burke ( similar to Bock/Angus caper at Southport)- but then that fell over and they had to advertise
The story gets better as...
Sorry NorWest but this post totally contradicts your previous post
First you say we have signed up your best players for 2015 so any chance of any of our players going to another club to play NEAFL is remote as they have all indicated they dont want to leave ...... then you say that your club...
Well your attitude is very different from ours at SHE. Whilst we are keen to be successful at SFL level we also would like to see our kids and exceptional players play at highest level possible.
With many, we are allowing them to explore options before sitting down to negotiate terms for 2015 &...
"Players Used' is almost the dominating stat in a clubs success for the season - obviously injury is one issue but it also reflects poor form and the requirement to rotate players in to gauge their ability to play at NEAFL level & lack of ability to get continuity in your side week to week.
See...
Yep
No worries Gazza
Lets just wait for a big announcement in next week shall we ?
Im discussing the NEAFL on the NEAFL forum - if thats ok with you ?
Also, think you will find their discussion was based around how do they prepare for 2015 with the uncertainty of whether they are in NEAFL...
Sad to say .... but Yep we are gone from NEAFL in 2015, we have tried but its not sustainable and we have felt the NEAFL hasnt really presented a strong case that if we invest we will be supported longer term anyway - so we would be throwing good money and much effort into a pointless cause...
We are definitely reviewing our position in NEAFL and its impact on us as a community club and our future in region as development path for AFL - ideally we would like to stay but financial and logistically it is tough. Our trip to Darwin painted a grim picture as we were treated as second...
We have a strong rumour here in Sydney that up to 3 NSW/ACT Clubs are 'weighing' up their future as we chat...
Financial pressures and maintaining the competitiveness on field are the issues along with possibility of losing identity as a community club in preference of a stand alone NEAFL club...
Im getting the feeling you are still a bit dirty that your club is no longer still in the NEAFL so take a swipe at the comp everytime there is a blow out on the scoreboard with the motive to suggest Broadbeach would beat an Ainslie or a Syd Hill Eagles . As I have mentioned before, all the clubs...
Seems perfectly sound to me
We have all discussed the Qld/NT sides dominance
I actually think a couple of the ACT/Sydney selections are a bit token to be truthful
Not sure what your point is here Stuyd1?
As a club we took the leap into NEAFL striving to be a better club and leaving our Sydney FL involvement as lower priority, we understand we have a long way to go to match the Qld sides now given their consolidation into 3 from 7 has fast tracked them...
Hey Norwest
We are hearing rumours coming up Hume Hwy that we need to be very wary this weekend as your troops are backs to wall & threats of player payment cuts to drive some improvement from the group ????
Is it also true ?? ... that a newly appointed president resigned after a big argument...
Via some mates involved at Sydney uni I have heard that Queanbeyan did everything in their power to get the game to go ahead hence the change of days
Also it seemed that Ainslie v Redlands was under threat from groundsman at Ainslie but common sense prevailed when Redlands told Ainslie were on...
I have posted about this in the past re Belconnen Magpies
Having only had a couple years experience watching these fellas play since we entered the comp in 2012 the Magpies by far have the biggest mouths & talk a lot of trash.
Last year was the worst episode I have seen & under Lokan they just...
First of all , congrats to Ainslie yesterday who just too good in a real shoot out & thanks for the hospitality which found both teams under the scoreboard for a feed/drink watching the Ainslie 2s . The playing surface was fantastic also.
Secondly, I think you Qlders are getting a bit ahead of...
All valid points ... & i agree with most
Same situation here in Sydney footy
I was only passing on what this guy told me , he was very open about all of it ( surprisingly open and quite critical around the topics discussed here) and didnt seem to paint same picture as my mate Tamba about...
Hi all
Im back from O/S and keen to see the new NEAFL up and running!!
Here is my predictions under new format
1. Syd Swans - ( watched their intra trial other day - impressive kids )
2. Aspley ( all reports up north say these guys will push for top spot)
3. Southport ( same as Aspley)
4...
ok easy mate
I wasnt slandering anyone , just passing on a conversation related to the topic that was being discussed - sorry for doing that in a chat forum??
I think i made that pretty clear in closing my post
Interesting your comments as to where this fella you mentioned has left the...
Hi all up north,
Interesting read .....
I am involved with a NEAFL club in sydney and ( ironically)was discussing recruiting with some Canberra NEAFL club friends recently at Coaching conference in Adelaide . We were debating which parts of Oz are good recruiting areas for NEAFL clubs
One who...
Sorry Im confused, why is it all of the sudden so expensive this NEAFL caper in 2014 compared to 2012? Dont the AFL pay for all travel and accom where required for up to 26 or 27 club players/staff?? I think the Canberra clubs have a case of we are happy to be in a top tier State league comp but...
Hi all,
Been back in Oz for a few weeks now and decided to pop out to see first NEAFL game for a year or so out at Blacktown.
Belconnen were never in the hunt, in fact looked ordinary and if they finished second on the ladder then Id hate to see the bottom sides play. They fumbled all day and...
