D4 Section Ammos pt 1 (2005-2007)

Re: D4 Section Ammos

I heard that during the season just gone that apparently Richmond were summond to the league regarding their on field performances. The league were worried that they would have to forfiet games due to players getting sick of losing by a big margin week in week out and leaving the club.

Is there any truth behind this?

Total bull@#%^

Re: D4 Section Ammos

Your not convincing me port man, they had a worse year this year than last.

WRONG!!

Re: D4 Section Ammos

WRONG!!

give us your perspective Buck...do you play at RC because you wouldnt get a game in a higher division(nothin wrong with that), are you a seniors player or ressies? How do you cope with losing for the last 5 years and what is the REALISTIC chance of turning it around this upcoming season?
Lets see if we can get a sensible answer from you.

Re: D4 Section Ammos

Richmond Centrals is a great and proud Club
It was formed by a small group of mates many years ago
to have a kick, a laugh and a beer

I have played footy in 4 States, Never in my playing days could anything match the spirit, commitment, friendship and enthusiasm of that at Centrals. It is still there today.

The success is not there at the moment, but with the above attributes and a few good footballers
"The Snakes will be back"

2 Premierships in a short history is a bloody good effort
Thanks for the memories.
Good luck for 2007

Re: D4 Section Ammos

Hi Guys, I will put my hand up to say i'm not good enough to play in higher grades, hell, some may even think i'm not good enough to play seniors in the bottom grade, but you can't tell me to stop playing because I'm not good enough...Winning is great, everyone loves winning, but spare a thought, there will always be losers and just like there will always be winners...you guys are talking about not letting your children play at RC, are you hearing yourselves? Let them decide for themselves...may be they want to play with their mates or play for their suburb... It is a sport, a hobbie, if you're that serious about it, do your best and play professionally, and I say good luck to you whole heartedly, if you're going to play in the Ammo league, this is an Ammo comp, we are here socially, we are here to have fun...thanks guys.

Spy, you hit it on the head man...they were like grey hounds, did you see the way they moved? my God...I just stood there and felt like I was a fat man!!!

Lets see if we can get a sensible answer from you.

this year was my second year at centrals. im a seniors player and i play for the centrals because i live in richmond. I orignally came down knowing nothing about the club, just looking to play footy locally. last year was a demoralising year for us. we had a great group of players, most with great experience and talent but the year started off badly due to injuries to many senior players. We also had the passengers of years gone by who felt safe in the club due to our performances onfield. This was devastating. This coupled with a coach who refused to try anything new and persisted all year with a ultra defensive game plan gave us nothing to work with. By preseason 2006, we were left with only 15%-20% players from 2005. This again was hard for us.
However, thanks to a fantastic committee we managed to replace all players and even managed to increase player numbers. A would defy anyone to say that isnt a fantastic effort.
So the year started well, large numbers, good feeling, ready for 2006. After round 2 we got rid of the coach. Alot of people think this was a rash decision by th committee but no matter what it looks like, it was the 100% correct decision for the future of the centrals.
After this our performances onfield improved, though those from "winning" clubs will not understand this, we are on the up. Just ask our opposition, we did play a better brand of footy, managed to hold the same list week in week out, no forfeits due to numbers in reserves, success will come and i hope all these posts are brought up again when we actually start putting it on the field. I find it interesting that only members of winning clubs pass judgement so easily on lower clubs of which they have no involvement with and know nothing about. I can guarantee you that no one ever from the centrals will snipe any club because that is the kind of people we have down here. We can be sniped on this or any forum, it wont matter, we will be there next year playing footy in d4 and ejoying it win loose or draw. we will never merge, we will never fold. end of story. so ends the lesson

Buck, sensational reply. I hope you guys fight it out. I would also hope that you start winning, as their is nothing better than a cold beer and no pain on a Sunday. Hopefully you can recruit some quality, as it is damn hard even to recruit when you are higher up the grades with all the dough around in non ammo comps.
Cheers.

Re: D4 Section Ammos

Gee didn't Bob just change his tune!

He must have looked at the ladders and seen that RC's twos were nearly as good as OH's twos...and with far less of a salary cap!

Well said Buckaz ! If a new coach came on board would he be able to entice the bloke who left after the 2005 to come back ? Or would it be too difficult ? Also what types of players are you specifically aiming for in 2007 ? On Ballers ? Key Forwards ? I am a strong believer that whats comes around goes around. So these guys (Bob Down prior to his last post) who are sledging the Snakes may experience a down year in 2007 !

Re: D4 Section Ammos

Running around in 27 degree heat with that bunch of greyhounds was suicidal.
Almost as stupid as me playing cricket that day without a hat.
Sshhhhh.

Hello Spy1
Bloody hot that Sunday, you were mad to be out having a spot of cricket.
Wouldn't be Glenferrie Oval by any chance ey Ed?

Muppet is the playing coach, it doesn't show a good example when the coach is out "getting on it" with all the boys. It would be hard to get the players to toe the line if you are too matey with them....

I am not a turtle.... I know a few of them and have seen them play a few games

Blagrove on the gear? Seriously doubt it. Young coach, so being matey is probably hard to avoid. D4 ammos, not sure if anything anyone gets up to on a Saturday night is going to cause to many problems come gameday.
Is he staying on for 07?

I think you have forgotten to take your drugs for quiet some time.
Wasn't that many posts ago you were claiming to be a Turtle so maybe the schitzo meds need to be re-instated! Or just plain simply they rejected you to play up in Turtleland and you're just bitter!
