Re: D4 Section Ammos
Highs:
PUNT RD OVAL - they said we'd never make it...
RCAFC Winning 5 on the trot after being winless last season...
BIG FOOTY - It promotes conversation during the week and at the games.
D4 - A much higher standard than the past few seasons.
POST MATCH PRESENTATIONS - All in good fun. I especially liked NB's cheese platter, and winning the 6 pack at Syndal.
Lows...
Reserve's umpiring standard in general.
Sooo many soft tissue injuries due to the hard grounds.
Players showing up in pre-season and then leaving cause we didn't offer them any money. (then mysteriously playing in higher grades).

Really. Coach and Spy, a merge would be ideal for both clubs and yourself.

Re: D4 Section Ammos
I noticed on the VAFA website that Bulleen have advertised for a new coach/s -seniors and reserves. Current coaches not keen for next year? or just seeing whats out there???
Does every club review there coaching stocks every year regardless??

Re: D4 Section Ammos
Eley Park and BHN to merge, but the Dragons to split off and form their own senior club.
Re: D4 Section Ammos
It has been an initiative of the committee that every year the jobs are advertised. As much for a health check on the club as anything.
Essentially the incumbent coaches start from pole position & we see who pulls up alongside them on the front row.
It'll be interesting to see how the process goes this year, but the strategy is about improving the club, not necessarily about changing coaches.

Re: D4 Section Ammos
yeah, just wondering.
It's in our constitution also...

Re: D4 Section Ammos
I know some clubs that fulfil the constitional requirement by sticking a peice of paper on the back of the coaching room door. It's still advertising but saves wasting serious applicants time and club money if all are happy with the coach.

Regardless if all are happy with the coach I believe Bulleen still have the right idea.

Re: D4 Section Ammos
Eltham have been the better team over the 18 weeks of home & away, but their confidence must have taken a hell of a hammering last weekend. St Mary's must be sky high after demolishing the mountain men.
CH has a massive job to get the boys back focussed on the job at hand & getting their confidence back.
Both teams prefer the game free & flowing. Eltham must have got their space closed down last week & it will depend on whether they can free themselves to move the ball quickly into the forward line to give CH one-on-one opportunities. (Does anyone know how CH's knee was last week? Was he moving OK, or hampered by his injury?)
Stabbing in the dark a bit (didn't see last weekends games), but confidence is such a big thing in finals, and Eltham might have trouble getting themselves back up in time..... I'd say St Mary's might be the one to take on UHS.
I'd much prefer Eltham to succeed & have another shot at UHS in the GF.

Re: D4 Section Ammos
I think the important thing with the coaching is that all applicants will be taken seriously. As much as we have two incumbents, the club needs to look at what is available and seriously compare what we have against what offers itself up. As IFF said the coaches learnt a lot this year, but both teams finished on the bottom of the ladder and in some games were pretty uncompetitive. So we as a club really need to explore what is available, and make a clear assessment of where we go. AFL Clubs review things all the time, we aren't doing anything different. The other important aspect is that both coaches are aware and supportive of this process and keen for the club to proceed in the best interests of the club.

Re: D4 Section Ammos
Was asking a few guys around our club that question last night - and the consensus seemed to be that everyone thought St.Mary's were the best team we played all year and that they'd go all the way comfortably. I don't necessarily agree as I think Eltham had injuries agaisnt us - and St.Mary's played us when we were hopelessly undermanned - and this would have made them look even sharper than they already are.
In any case I think it will be very very tight, Eltham may want to go a little defensive in the middle as St.Mary's are better there - but you'd think Eltham's overall size might be telling.
I'd be bringing up 2-3 stronger bodies from last weeks two's and dropping some that didn't perform in the midfield last week.
Hoping eltham get up.
