Not true.

No signs of that yesterday. Broadford were fantastic and had a huge crack. Getting some players back and looked anything but disgruntled.

He is back at Port turbo. Went well there in his last stint playing in a VFL grand final from memory. Won't be playing local footy this year.

Williams never left Diggers as we are his designated local club. We don't expect to have him at all though. He will play at Port Melbourne in the VFL which is great.

Williams is playing for Port Melbourne this year.

Not even half of 220 for Diggers unfortunately. There would be no club spending even half of that in my opinion and if they are then not by much. From memory the cap goes down over a 3 year period finishing around the 100 mark.

Its a good point. Often look on at some coaches in awe of what they put up with and they certainly deserve their pay. Having said that I know several coaches who do it for free or close to. Love their club so put their wage back into the playing budget. It's not unheard of. I think with someone...

If only it was even half of that figure. We do like to keep a low profile and will rarely have anyone post on here but feel compelled to respond. To throw those sort of figures around when they are not even half right is irresponsible especially in the current climate. It gives the wrong...

And Sawyer. Yep both played seniors and were great servants of the club. Got an opportunity they couldnt turn down. Meant they played reserves in the GF. Robbo was an oversight Doona. Tough and underrated player.

Can confirm Caton and Richardson will be going. Richardson to play with his brother and Caton to Jacana along with 3 or 4 Diggers reserves players who came over from Craigieburn. No other departures.

Don't disagree with you Blueboy. All clubs do it though.

Have heard the rumour but like most things its all exaggerated rubbish. AGM a fizzer. All but 3 of the 22 from the grand final side have committed. As for Krul he is in a long term relationship with one of the vice captains sister. Player turn over is a fact of local footy. Every club has...

No doubt. Reckon he would still dominate.

Pretty ill informed post from what I know. The burras won't play this out in a public forum like this. No club would or should.

Rumor i heard was Riddell turned attention from Carriss to. Gisbornes second ruck Antonowicz. Have been extremely active.

KP sent out a flyer with the timeline of events that had occurred over the summer. They had periods without a coach and no executive. What are players meant to do in this situation? The words fold and merge were included in this flyer. I dont think any reasonable person can begrudge the players...

To be fair I can confirm I have not heard of anyone not getting paid. The problem with the above statement is that some of the players were more than willing to help out and did right up until the time the whole thing went pear shaped. These players were not at fault for the way things turned...

I think you will find some of the senior players did attempt this. Fairly hard to convince anyone to get excited and stay when you dont have a coach or administration. Since when is it the players role to run the club. It's a bonus if you have players willing to do those kind of things not an...

With respect, thats just not good enough. As a player you want to come to pre season and be excited about the season ahead. Pre xmas is the most important time for any club. It builds momentum, it's when recruiting is done and has a major impact on your ability to be competitive. You need...

Shouldn't the club have a responsibility to the player as well? You get promised alot of things when you sign a contract...the club falling to pieces on the eve of the season is never one of those promises.

Talking about players who still turned up for pre season training despite losing the coach, president and assistant coach right at the start of pre season. These guys didn't want to leave but when that happens and you go to pre season to find only a handful of senior players can you blame...

Well that probably says as much about where KP are at as anything. If they hadn't have mismanaged things maybe none of us would be trying to get out of contracts. Ruining the chances of loyal servants moving on will only add to the cycle. Those players will be lost forever.

It's hardly a revelation that clubs need U/18's. Every club wants them and realises how important they are. I am sure those sides are doing as much as they can. Central's are unlucky being the poor cousin of the other 2 Melton sides but have tried to form a link with Rolling Meadows. Diggers...

Re: R.d.f.l Thread 2008 Bingo. For the record Diggers have lost Ruane (euroa) Hoare (os) Reilly (os) Rust (will miss half season os)

Re: R.d.f.l Thread 2008 Diggers might slide and we might not. The club heirachy have chosen to go a slightly different path and only time will tell if it pays off. We have a coach who is brilliant at developing young players and if you have a look we played more players in our seniors than any...

Re: R.d.f.l Thread 2008 Surely they would not have James back?

Depends if he wants to go home or not as has been speculated. Had a brilliant season last year and then started in B&F form before fading after round 6 when its been reported that his girl friend and child returned to Adelaide. If he wants to go home then you will probably get him for less than...

Burra just going to the gold coast.

I live in Sunbury and Diggers got all the coverage despite 3 sunbury based sides having McIntyre sides. I know for a fact that the journos thought it was the top grade because I was the guy they were ringing. They even covered a united a grade game when they had mcintyre on down the road.

I think they may have changed it because knob head journalists were confusing a grade as being the top grade. The A grade teams got alot of coverage in the papers last year. I suppose now it should make it a bit clearer.
