surely if youve just lost a granny or finished in the top three a decent coach could improve his side with the list he's got over summer without having to recruit every gun around.
look at the afl for example , teams that finish 5-10 dont have the luxury to be able to splash some cash around and pick up 6-7 guns to give them a chance for a flag. they have to develop and improve what they've got with the inclusion of mayber 1-2 quality players.
local footy is becoming a joke by trying to fix a sides deficiency from recruits instead of having the coaching stafff with the ability to seek the talent and develop it from within the club, and how can you give a coach any credibility anymore for their success infact nowadays there more like managers rather than a coach.

ITS TRUE ALLRIGHT SAME EVERY YEAR NO MONEY MANAGEMENT. WITH PLAYERS MOVING ON NEXT YEAR THERE BACK IN THE WILDERNESS.HJ32 said:very good post Ablett
it makes for interesting reading. Would i be right in saying that Elmore's coach did a simliar thing at a now defunct club during the 1980's? they won 3 in a row but now they don't exist. Not saying that Elmore is heading down the same path, but i suppose a club such as elmore who have been starved of the ultimate success for 21 years are thinking that the time is right to recruit as many guns as they can as the premiership window is open. On the positive it's great for the competition with host of good players, but i suppose there's always the local player factor too.
i'll give the clock a run for some clubs for 2007
Elmore 11.39 - if they're to win one it has to be in the next year or two, they have a couple of players on the other side of 30, and one gets the feeling that a few blokes will shift if it don't happen next year.
Mounts 10:30 - you can't count them out, although they have heaps of old blokes still able to get the job done, it would be in Carters mind to give some more younger ones a go at senior level. Mounts have never been to 3 oclock yet!
LBU 9 OClock - Possible new coach, good players coming thru the ressies, but question marks remain in finals. 9 bells is probably a good one for them, however if they don't get a flag soon, they'll head back to about 4 oclock
Colbo 10:25 Oclock - Majority are young Locals and made big steps in 2006 after bottoming out to about half 2 in 2005! add a couple of key recruits to the side and the hoppers may be starring in a premiership window.
Heathcote 11:20 - the saints must strike now while they have the list. Id say they're in the hunt for a quality gun midfielder and a strong Key backman. there's a few rumors going around that they're cash strapped after big spending last year. interesting times at the coaters.

ringo1 said:The value of the coach and the money with player payments are always rife this time of the year. year in year out the same clubs seem to waste money on one year wonders and others pay for quality. mounts have two flags with astute recruiting of carter as coach and when a chf was needed this year they recruited dalton. other teams continually pay for guys who are too old or talk themselves up and get nowhere.
i think the role of the coach is important in knowing what he needs and doing whats best for the club. youll know how long a coach intends to play for you depending on how quick he wants to go and pay for d**kheads. astute recruiting by the coach usually means success over a two or three year tenure. i dont think the quick fix works personally.
Doona2 said:You sound pretty passionate about this topic Ringo, do you coach at a club?
ringo1 said:
Been around a bit mate and coached but have been out of it for a few years now-not involved at a club in any capacity but would love to be. I just think that coaches and clubs have a responsibility to attract quality footballers and quality people that are going to stay at the club for a few seasons. I see that you are going back to Broadford and I wish you luck
Doona2 said:Thanks ringo, would be lying in saying it's a big challenge and one Im truly excited to sink me teeth into - Surround yaself with good people and good things will happen in time is a fave phrase of mine
nesko_25 said:So Doonz how do you think u'll go about getting the roo's into finals? Recruit big of just recruit a few experianced players and bring up the younger boys?
Doona2 said:Open to suggestions so what do think mate?
Must say Im pretty happy with the look of the youngsters so maybe your 2nd option may be preferred but as I said some input from some knowledgable BF people would be appreciated

BAR FRIDGE said:Any truth in the rumour that Billy Nielson may be heading back to Broady Doona or will he be staying at Yea? It would be great for the club if he was to return! Now as coach Doona do you get to decide on who your coaching panel will be ie chairman of selectors, ass/coach etc, or will the committee make that decision! Like you said earlier it makes a big differnce if you have the right people around you! Good luck on the upcoming season from the Fridge, except when you play us!

I very much doubt marty o'riley will be at elmore next year.. he's a very proud borough boy and will be doing the running for pios next year. If he did play th elmore it would be a joke, no one in the league would be able to run with him cos he's fitness freak and he gets 40+ touches when he occasionally goes back to eaglehawk, imagine him in the HDFL.
