[QUOTE
Bennyeverywhere you are ill informed steve left thomo due to lack of commitment from club ,he had won an under 19 premiership and did quite well at senior level with a very small budget then went to Watsonia to help out for the season he was never there in a official capacity.
And as for the northern saints the unfortunate death on the field of one of their popular players Knocked the sprit out of the place most coaches would have struggled with that team at that time .
If you have a problem with the bloke go and see him and work it out instead of potting him from behind the key board[/QUOTE]

Bennyeverywhere was actually sticking up for Steve.

Pretty quiet on here. Who have clubs picked up and lost?

Have heard nothing from Mont, Bundoora, Eltham or Lower.

Greensy & Bergers obviously recruited well and I would think West will push up the ladder also.

 

[Burgerdon]

West Preston-Lakeside youngster Adam Valeri has signed a contract with Coburg for the 2016 season

 

[opmas]

Aaron Willits from West has left and gone back to Epping which is a huge loss for west. Have heard Eltham have signed a few.
Some old players including Mitchell, follachio, both barberos and Ferraro. returning to Yulong. Ben Walton has returned to Mont but have heard nothing else. Also rumours circulating another big name from Lower is very close to leaving

 

[Yeah right]

I'd say quite a few would know I'm more than qualified to understand Stevie K - he has made quite a bed to lie down in, needs to rebuild his resume undoubtly and NOW I think he may've found the level/role he's suited to... Time will tell - I'm just not a fan of potters who have never sat down in a big chair...

Seems you have a fair gripe against the fella...?!?

Good post Sports. Think YeahRight has made his thoughts known a few times and needs to let it rest now FFS as I'm over it.
Not all coaches are popular but some tough assignments his taken on in Watsonia and Northern Saints.
MOVE ON yeah.[/QUOTE]
How about when Steve Krdtevski goes around to members collecting money for a recruit he wants to cover some of that player's sign on fee at the end 2013. Some members gave hundreds $$$ ,
What happens in 2014. Krstevski leaves and no player arrives.

 

[Berger with the lot]

Haven't heard a great deal out of Northcote Park also...

 

[Burgerdon]

Haven't heard a great deal out of Northcote Park also...

Northcote Park have signed top Bendigo Pioneers player Marty Hore who is listed with Collingwood VFL
Was considered unlucky not to have been rookied at the end of 2015.

West Preston-Lakeside youngster Adam Valeri has signed a contract with Coburg for the 2016 season

Rhett Jordon's gone from Norwood to West Preston-Lakeside as assistant coach. Jordan was one of the best players in the Vic Metro team that defeated Queensland last year. He'll be a good pick up.

HFC getting the band back together? lofty and co. Could we see a return of ocean blue's most infamous bouncer?

Lower Plenty FC is very pleased to announce the engagement of Jeff Gieschen to the club in the newly created role of club development manager.

Jeff’s enormously impressive football resum’e across playing, coaching, administration as well as national umpires manager brings an incredible wealth of footy acumen to our club.

The club is currently in a very exciting phase of development with the creation of the role of Coaching Director which Vin Dittoli is performing in 2016 . Added to that is the further development of our partnership with the Research Junior Football Club with the development of some new programs the clubs will undertake together to further enhance the “one club- one pathway “ mission.

As president I feel very fortunate on the clubs behalf to have someone of Jeffs calibre join the Bears ranks to add value to our club with his vast experience and enthusiasm in and around all things footy. We tend to have our heads down all year controlling the day to day issues of the club and rarely lift it to take a breath or cast an eye over the clubs continual development and future direction. Jeff is not hindered by history or emotion and will be free to create fresh ideas drawing on his vast experience. His role will include being a sounding board for our coaches, development of club culture, implementing leadership programs , linking programs with RJFC and mentoring the Diamond Creek Womens newly appointed senior coach, Tania Hetherington.

Its appropriate I believe to list Jeffs achievements in our game to allow everyone to fully understand what a great opportunity this is for our club.

PLAYING

Captained Victorias under 16 team and was voted All Australian vice captain of the under 16 team.

Played 150 senior games for Maffra in the Latrobe valley football league winning 3 league player of the year awards and 2 league best and fairest awards.

Coached Wodonga from 1986 – 1991 for two premierships resulting in being awarded Ovens and Murray coach of the year in 1990.

During Jeff’s 6 year reign at Wodonga the club won 5 league championships. Those titles are based on the combined results of the clubs three grades. Ones twos thirds , which is a real indication of his impact across the whole club.

Named Wodongas coach of the century in 2004.

Coached West Perth from wooden spoon in 1991 to a Grand Final loss to Claremont in 1993 , the same year he was awarded the WAFL coach of the year.

Finally Jeff fulfilled the role of AFL umpires national manager for a staggering 14 years. During this time he oversaw an incredible change in umpires professionalism and advancement in many areas.

Please make yourself known to Jeff when you see him around the place and make him feel very welcome. Feel free to bounce ideas and thoughts off him that you feel may contribute to the development of the football club. Bring on season 2016 !
