Ease up mate.
I guarantee you that every club would love to have someone tipping money into the coffers. Unfortunately we aren't all that lucky. I think that Marby are doing the right thing by renovating their club rooms and building a strong foundation in junior footy. I applaud them for that. How about we look at Marbys recruiting as strengthening the competition as a whole and making it more attractive for players and supporters.
Also, any more news on the rumoured departures from abers?

It's really sad when individuals need others to fail to pleasure themselves. How about you go to your club and give them a chop out in one way or another and see if you can actually help YOUR club to be a better place and maybe even be able to compete with some of the better clubs within the league!
The potting of our club is getting to ridiculous proportions of late. We are in the very lucky position of having some very generous and loyal sponsors within the club (not just GA) and it's through the hard work of the committee that these relationships have helped the club out enormously.
The running of succesful and profitable functions also helps considerably.
And do you people think the 200 juniors we had playing with the club last year just walked in off the street?

Word has it that Maribyrnong Park Football Club has offered three year deals to both Adam McPhee and Andrew Welsh and that these deals have been accepted. McPhee and Welsh will depart the once mighty Essendon Football Club after only being offered two year deals.
There is nothing more certain that Marby will be back in B Grade within 5 years. If anyone has seen that insipid scum bag who acts as a waterboy for them knows, the club is full of trash.
All quiet on the Doutta Stars front although behind the scenes Barnes has managed to secure the services of several North Ballarat VFL players. Might be a resurgence from Doutta in 2010.

1 flag in 30 years isn't enviable at all.
You're right though the other clubs are in some ways jealous of the money that ga puts into marby.
I think you'll find very few clubs want to copy marbys "success" as they are community clubs not mercernary inc.
I cant recall big spending greenvale or strathmore getting any of the negativity that marby does, so money has very little to do with it.

How dumb are you,what dont you understand.
Maribyrnong have only been in A grade for 2 years for 1 flag.
Before that they were in B grade, get it!!!!
What do you mean when you say 1 flag in 30 years?
Unfortunately money talks in all types of life including football.
Good luck to us , bad luck for you!

Lol It seems it's you who doesn't understand.
Marby Park have won 1 flag in the 30 odd years they've been around.
Yes they were in b grade, everyone knows this. Are you trying to say that they weren't the same club whilst in b-grade?

its really an argument that could go on forever couldnt it.
look at it this way-
Will marby win flags in the near future? highly likely
Will marby gain the respect of the comp like greenvale/keilor has? probably not.
but hey theyve chosen a plan to win a flag and they executed it, so i tip my cap to them in that sense.

Agree with everything you just said,
I personally don't care that marby spends to win a flag as the premiers the years before them also spent big.

Let's separate those 'potting' Marby for being successful from those frustrated at the constant denial by many Marby people on here regarding the payment of players.
Marby have had great success in recent years - Fact Let's move on from there and only time will tell whether it will be sustained.
There are too many players past and present that are only too willing to detail either their contract details or of offers made by Marby and declined for there not to be truth to the 'rumours' of big dollars.
Marby have not acheived the success they are currently having due to the strong junior program or to the high standard of the facilities etc. Though the club may now be addressing those issues, that has come after the success and has not been the reason for it.....
i remember playing against marby the year they won the flag in B Grade, i havent been following them much since then but can someone tell me how many players who played in that senior flag are still playing in the 1s? or even are still at the club?

I am trying to rack my brain and can't think of any that played in both flags, Josh tanner is still playing but missed this year because of injury.

What has that got to do with anything. A & B grade are worlds apart, so of course we had to turn over those players. As we seen with Glenroy this year, if you don't recruit you can't be successful in A grade.
I'm sure someone can be more accurate than me but I'll have a stab at those players who played in B grade flag for GV then played in the first A grade flag - Bicer, Zerafa, Garbutt, Mocca??, Hassall?? I'm sure there are a few of the local lads as well. Yes you have to turn over a few and recruit etc. But the entire list???

There are still several players at the club from the B grade flag who are playing 2,s,
The only one that made the final 21 in this years grand final was G. Daley( who by the way kicked a lazy 7 goals )
Tanner ,Ziros , Gilpin , Agresta etc did not make it. cant think of anyone else.

Well boys something that no one saw comming - Vic Police & Liquor Licensing have put a ban on the sale of any alcohol within the confines of your Sports CLubs during junior football matches as they believe this to be the sole cause of parent misbehaviour.
To the bloke with the mallet and to all those clubs that just don't give a shit about parent/crowd behaviour - thanks very much - we will all now pay the price a real $$$ price.
Letters were sent to all Public Officers of registered/licenced clubs. Sold out again by the powers to be EDFL!!!!!.
Whose job will it be to walk around the oval and tell people they can't have a drink in their car?? No doubt the powers to be have solved the problem - me thinks not.

Seriously does anybody actually think it acceptable to be drinking at junior football matches. fair enough after the games are finished it is good for parents to mingle with a quiet drink and relax, but while games are playing it should not be allowed.
Hear the natives are restless down at the Oakers, quite a few disgruntled players not happy with the coaching debacle.
Never mind if it really hits the fan maybe it's better for you to stay in B grade
We would be happy to stay in A grade (RING A BELL) after all it's what is best for the comp that counts.
What goes around comes around

i have just been reading all the stuff here.

Good Luck to them.... You are only worth what someone is willing to pay and if Marby have the cash to build a strong team all the best to them!!!

Heard Marby are looking at under 18's from rival clubs and offering them some incentives..
Not saying it is fact but heard it off a bloke who says he has been approached, is also the son of a current club presedent.
Shit effort if true.
