It was a weekend of magnificent highs and devastating lows.

The events of Saturday night will be remembered by all who were at the
clubrooms, and everyone connected with the club, for a very long time and have put the business of football in its true perspective.

For those interested in assisting the Alsop family donations can be
made to the Nathan Alsop Family Appeal at any Westpac bank.

I sympathise for everyone involved.There are some great people at East.
And the idea of an appeal for the family is fantastic
This has been a big wake up call for every club.

How can you keep talking about the foooty?

lost to north in 02 by a goal, finished on top in 04 and went out in straight sets, 05 made the granny and drew with werribee then lost in the replay

im pretty sure thats how it went, which shows theyve been a force in the last decade just dont have anything to show for it

In saying that tho.. how many finals series have corio competed in... i no of at least 4... maybe even more.. so to say that they need to improve is pretty hard because theyve definatly been up there just not good enuff come september

Yeah fair point. I didnt know exactly how many they had competed in, but ultimately your judged on flags. In recent years corio have been too up and down. '07 terrible and i think nearly folded, '08 brilliant but faded late then '09 pretty poor. So i guess improve was the wrong word when describing them.. maybe a better level of consistency.

If you looked at corio and inverleigh I'd know who I would rather be. Inva will only get better. Having said that though, no-one wants corio to be playing in finals as they can be such a good team when up and about. The hawks dont have that fear factor yet.

Corio lost by 1 point in 02' to North, 03' out in straight sets after finishing on top loses to Thomo and Banno. 04' Draw then smashed by werribee. 05' finished on top 12 goal loss to Thomson in granny. 06', 07' no good. 08' ok but never a threat. As long as finals are at St.Albans I think they will struggle, for whatever the reasons they just dont play that well there.

wouldn't have thought gillo would be returning to centrals as a player only. i could be wrong though.

for the record the '04' drawn grandfinal b/w werribee and corio was in probably the worst ever conditions seen in a gdfl grandfinal. i think there was only a handful of goals scored for the the whole game. the following week was a better indication of the difference b/w the two sides when werribee won the replay by 12 goals.

when they were on song during the year corio were always a very good running side but unfortunately their game and temperament didn't stack up in finals which was unfortuante for guys like Ricky O'Toole who is obviously a champion player.

Anyone know the wash-up of the Boof Lewis spitting incident. Just been reading the weeks worth of papers and find his old mans comments ridiculous. Everyone knows Boof is a good player just like we all know he snipes - just ask Mick O'Leary who is carrying 10 stitches in his gob - if didn't want to get deregistered then why does he keep doing it.

Secondly from how it was written I assume May has been sacked. Where does BPH finash if they lose him, Boof, Cavka, Venner and a couple of others who are on the move.

Finally on Corio they play fantastic home and away footy but the chip and charge game they play is not suited to the bigger grounds. Have a look who has beaten them in finals and you will note they had one, maybe two key forwards and they played direct footy.
 
also Daniel Gage has been linked with a return to Thomson.

would be a massive in.

Could he leave after playing such a blinder in the G/F for Drysdale?

I'd be surprised after the Hawks winning the flag if he left. This rumour may have had some substance before grand final day though.

ive been reading a bit of you bourky23. do you have any idea?

you just speak garbage. you are never right.
i got a phone call from one of the biggest source, Luke McLean is going to be signed today as coach.

You are correct, will admit i'm wrong.

Brown has also signed for Thomson too but declined the coaching job as far as i'm aware.

So not completely off the mark mate:thumbsu:

I've spoken to people at Thomson, they wanted Brown to coach but he couldn't juggle all his work/footy commitments.

either way, good signings for Thomson. They've made a great start to their off season IMO

Brown was brilliant for us this season. How ever his body is just about shot and im not sure if he'd have much footy left in him. Dont think any one else from grovey would be goin with him tho.

Is that a definate, I am assuming you are talking of Luke ex East geelong/Newcomb/West/Barwon Heads??
