General you are obviously a doutta's man or pretend to be?
You seem to have a fair understanding of what happens behind the scenes down at doutta land. I wouldn't call myself a fan of doutta's, but in saying that i would like to see the boys do well. Could you please answer my previous question, if you know the answer of coarse about Liam Turner? Have you had contact with him to let him know that he won't be getting a release, and or has he agreed to stay as i have been told? Your answer would be appreciated. p.s sorry for calling you an ass monkey as i was told you were someone else turns out joke was on me.:cool:
 
General / PKing If I can just clear up 1 thing about Liam. He is no longer a required player at Westmeadows. While I am not in the inner sanctum at the club I am close enough to those who are to know this is the case.

The relevance of this fact may be mute, as General has indicated they were never going to clear him, however the club's (Westmeadows) decision not to pursue Liam was based more on his poor attitude to training and his general approach. An approach Westmeadows felt was not up to the standards the club had set for their players. If his approach is in line with the expectation Douta Stars have on their players then I believe it will be a long year at Buckley Park.

Westmeadows dissapointment in the early discussions regarding Liam were based around the fact that Liam was released to Douta Stars while contracted to Westmeadows in "Good Faith" on the premise that the favour would be returned should Liam wish to return. They failed to live up to their end of the bargin which is dissapointing.

Lesson's learned. Westmeadows will never again release any registered and contracted player which is dissapointing for "Community Football"

gday mindbender, i have some questions for you.

  • Who did you apporach at Doutta Stars to ask for a release from his "signed contract"?
  • What reasons were you going to give Doutta Stars to release him?
  • What reasons did he give you to go back to Westmeadows?
  • What is wrong with the boys attitude?
All valid questions, i am not sticking up for the Club here but if you are going to discuss things like this in an open forum and make statements then please answer the above, if you want you can send me a private message to take this off line..:thumbsu:

G'day Bricksta....thanks alot for the questions. No problems to answer them in an open forum. The invitation for a private chat is also welcomed.

  • Who did you apporach at Doutta Stars to ask for a release from his "signed contract"? I don't think it is apporpriate to mention names in relation to this issue but clearly it was with decion makers at the club.
  • What reasons were you going to give Doutta Stars to release him? I think the reason's don't need to be explained here. Should be pretty obvious really.
  • What reasons did he give you to go back to Westmeadows? He felt it was time for Westmeadows to take the next step. Given the results they had in 2007 he felt he may be able to contribute to that effort.
  • What is wrong with the boys attitude? Well this is quite subjective I believe. Obviously he is a fit young guy with mountains of potential. It was hoped that he would bring an A Grade flavour to the club and impart a work ethic, which the younger members of the team could learn from. Raise the bar and the expectations. He is an influential guy who people like to follow. Unfortunatley he did not live up to the expectations the club had.
My post was not a direct swipe at an individual. Liam is a great bloke, talented footballer and obviously much sort after player. I was, in a way trying to highlight the fact that gentlemens agreements between clubs are a thing of the past. This is a shame. He was released from a contract to move to Doutta Stars in the hope that he would better himself, learn what it takes to be an A Grade footballer and share that knowledge back at the club where he grew up. The deal was sealed with a handshake.

Might be time for the leauge, the clubs and the players to do a reality check and realize this is local footy. Not the AFL. There are some players who like to challenge them selves and play at a higher level which is great, but if they decided they would like to have a kick with there mates....lets be realistic.

In saying all that Doutta's did nothing wrong and as stated a number of times, the contract was signed. It's just time for Westmeadows to get with the program I guess.

It would be interesting if an issue like this ended up in the courts. Is the contract a legal binding document? And then the issue of restraint of trade might also come into the matter? Could turn nasty especially if a cashed up club was willing to fight and could afford a good QC!!!

The more i read on this site i realise that most of the people who post on here are not from this planet.
ITS LOCAL FOOTY WHY WOULD THEY GO TO COURT..!

ITS SIMPLE - If you sign a contract to play footy for a club, you play footy for that club.

What about this and what about that, players get looked after well every season by getting paid to play the game they love. Must be tough!!!!!:mad::cool::thumbsu:

Your gagging me right?? If Liam Turner is now a influential person who others like to follow ?if thats the case you have to seriously consider the mentality of the people down at Westy. This comment almost made me spew up in my Weet Bix, I never known a bloke to talk more dribble than Liam and the fact that he looks like a cancer patient on his 3rd round of chemo shows what he likes to do with his past time. What does the guy weigh now?? 50kgs?? could probably get a gig doing trackwork for Rich Hore-Lacey.

Thanks for backing up my argument moron. Would appear you have been following him around yourself given the intimate knowledge you have.

Button it idiot. You are out of your depth.

Bender, if you are not already in politics you should consider a career in it after that reply to Bricksta's questions.

Said a lot without actually saying anything........................
 
The powers to be in local footy need to look at the transfer situation....

If a player signed a contract mid season and then decides he wants to leave to play at another club at the end of the year (not in the same league) then it should be automatic...:thumbsu:

If it is the same league then the clubs should be able to work something out, where is local footy heading....:confused:

If they don't owe the club money.....let em go!!

MIGHT BE A GOOD MATCH UP..KADE WILL GIVE HIM A TOUCH UP !!!!!!!!!!!!

What are you on about?? Kade and Willa would be a good match up but I think the big fella would prefer someone who can only run in straight lines :thumbsu:. Willa will direct traffic well from the back half, will be the general out there which is what a young Abers side probably need.
