No one could ever underestimate what Serge is and means to the Sunbury Football Club. He was a great coach and cared more about his players than any other coach I worked with, he coached for bugger all money, got players jobs, gave and taught alot to all players at the club. Love him or hate him, he and Grif along with Chooka are the heart and sole of the club, we all make mistakes, but I bet any club would love to have Serge coach them. Sunbury lack continuity, u cant sack all the coaches and bring in out of towners, they know no one, they cant recruit because the trick to recruiting is convincing mates to come along and play. The common rule is if you appoint a new senior coach, then u maintain the core of the support staff, especially if the other coaches take teams to finals,nothing more scary than players walking into the club and not knowing any of the coaches or staff,or any of the coaches knowing any of the players, like the first day of school. Sunbury will survive, numbers will improve, just a long year ahead, wont hurt them, all clubs need to experiance pain to really appreciate gain.The RATS are always the first to leave a sinking ship !

Serge retired, he was always going to retire at the end of last year.
When someone who has been with any club for a long time retires, of course there is rebuilding.
Libba does care about having a good team, just watch the season before commenting, especially all the people commenting who no nothing about the club and what is going on this year. Sunbury will be competitive, but if you don't think they will be that's fine, all the other clubs will have a greater chance.
Sunbury 2's would have played finals last year. The bottom 4 are terrible. Still should play finals but like Melton last year just making up the numbers.
Did pretty good pushing the eventual premiers to 3 goals in the qualifying final for a "side making up numbers"!
Who said anything about Serge ?
My comment was directed at the Fair weather supporters that hang around a club like Groupies & arrogantly spruik through the good times, then throw their hands up & say " not my club " when times get a bit tough !
And then try & excuse their actions by diverting attention onto something else under another one of their many guises........ = Coward !
Exactly right buddy. Darkey isnt a good club. Its a GREAT club.

Speaking of groupies - click on Banggoal1's 9 posts. 7 of then are in reply to something I have posted. If you looking for a anything more than friendship from me you need to look else where. Not that there is anything wrong with that. Sure you name should not be changed to Bangboys1?
If Darley is such a great club why don't they build a proper bloddy changing rome for opposition teams. disgrace
Vineyard, I think you will find that with a new coach & president eastpoint will be in for a drink this year for sure.They are buddy and should be finished for the first home game of the season barring any more council hold ups. Basically stage 2 will include new away rooms and netball change rooms for the ladies attached to the existing social club.
Only a 10 step walk for clubs to come in for a beer after the game - even east point and melton south.
Hope that keeps you happy. Surely the old pigeon shed is better than wendouree, sunbury & melton souths away facilities. Might be falling down but has some size.
darleys away rooms are awesome you can acctualy move in them unlike most of the bfl away rooms, at wendouree i showered and watched a game out the window.If Darley is such a great club why don't they build a proper bloddy changing rome for opposition teams. disgrace
Typical know it all newbie - maybe do some research and look at most posts - I always said I am a Gisborne supporter. Serge is a good friend so I would get to Sunbury games that did not clash with the Gisborne games. Also helped out Serge a couple of times to get some electrical work completed at my house. So if that makes me a fair weather supporter I could not really give a fat rats clackers a$$hole.

Groupie, Coward......... and a Name Dropper !
Hey you ever do anything without having a " Get Out " mate ?

Make that 8 out 10! Bangboys you need to find some way to get off the hook.
On the Transfer List it has the Ryan brothers moving to the Marsh. What do they stand to gain from this? An extra $50 a game and not a win for the year? And 1 of em at best is a 2s player for any other side in the BFL. Don't think its a big gain for the Carpet Pythons
Talking about after match, what are the better clubs Vineyard for sharing a beer with an opposition team? I watched a mate play east and there was only a handful of east reserves players having a beer and no senior players?
Overall i'd have to say Darley, feel like your going to get killed whilst playing/watching but as soon as final siren goes it becomes a friendly and social atmosphere and a always a interesting trip back to melbourne!I reckon the best places to have a beer are Redan (anything alcoholic after getting pumped helps), melton and bacchus marsh (winning beers).
Getting into the wendouree social clubs is also good as it is the only modern facility at the ground.
What are your thoughts???
i agreeOverall i'd have to say Darley, feel like your going to get killed whilst playing/watching but as soon as final siren goes it becomes a friendly and social atmosphere and a always a interesting trip back to melbourne!
whats everyones thoughts on Libba? is he going to be alot of money spent for no real gain? i would have thought sunbury would have the ability to attract some AFL experience guns but seems as though the big name coach is struggling to do that. would still expect the lions to be in the top 2 come seasons end though.
