I'll take that as a complement then thanks oldman ps you sure it isn't?To all those bagging Mounts. Jealousy is curse . Get over it. I love the fact that people put in the crying symbol when they are the ones having a sook.....
Mount Pleasant is a great and successful club. Every team has their locals and buys in players they need. The fact they got, and have held onto a top footballer and bloke like Cam Carter for 3 seasons speaks highly of the way the club is run. The fact that they have been so successful for the past 30 years (14 senior premierships and 12 reserves), is the reason they can get good players out. Sure there will be guys who stay for one season then move on, but the majority will stay for 3,4,5 years and that is how you build a club. Clubs will always turn over players. Its a fact of life that guys move on. I myself have only been involved there for 3/4 years, not as a player, but this year won't be attending as much as I have a new family member. Stuff happens.
Guys also like playing premierships, and if they are in a crap team and are offered some cash to move mid-season to a team who could win it, many will move.
This is the prelim final team, as I can't get the GF one.
Locals or those who have been at the club 3+ years:
Carter, Douglas, East, Ferrier, Gee, Gee, Grinton, Johansson, Kerr, King, Nihill, O'Connell, Rojewski, Ryan, Shannon, Webb. That is 16 of the 21. The others were:
Black, Dalton, Johnson (but he lives at Toolleen now), McCleary, Shepherd.
bloodhound, you had better ring Bluey before he bankrupts your club like he did at Northern United.
to showmethemoney who said the forum was to speak s h i t on, it isn't, but you did a brilliant job of it.
Fcuk can you blokes give it a rest. This theme just seems to reoccur. How many of mounts blokes are local and how much money they fork out. What ever they do they do it well. Their record speaks for itself. I bet they're not throwing money out hand over fist like elmore. Jealousy IS a curse. Any new news. Heard Heathcote have signed an on baller and possibly a ruckman. Have also heard the mildura flavour at elmore are two blokes by the name of jo cavallo and Jake smythe, plenty of $$ there.
I'll take that as a complement then thanks oldman ps you sure it isn't?
Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah, 30 years of sucssess and all I can say is its been more than 30 years since mounts have updated there vistors change rooms. You have no respect for your peers.
Brent or Andy, do you know when the boys are changing to tue/thur training.
Lets get on with business boys.
Will Mounts hold: Grinton and Dalton Yes or No?? How good will they be this year?
Will Elmore finally blow their budget to the s h i t house and at least get a flag?? Or will it all blow up in their face again?
Will Colbo be the quiet acheiver?? Seem to have recruited very well and not lost many at all!
Can Heathcote take that next step come finals?
Will Lockingington lose some ground or have they recruited enough in the likes of the axeman etc to be true final contenders?
Can the likes of White hills and Broadford push for a spot in the five?
Huntly and North how competitive will they be?
Lets get down to it hey!
I'll give it a go.......based on the silly season rumour & innuendo.......
Grinton & Dalton gone , I think Mounts might come back to the pack
Elmore will be thereabouts...depends on infighting and when the players all find out how much their mates are getting paid
Colbo...definitly the quiet achievers , will be right up there
Heathcote will improve , might sneak in to the top three ,apparently the new coach can really play
Broadford are an unknown quantiy to me but always hard to beat at home , might grab 5th
White Hills could be o/k but if consistant rumours , about some of the players being unhappy with the coach , are true then this could bring them undone , Sawyer is huge plus
North should have good depth this year and will be competive but it might be another year or two for them before they challenge
Huntly have lost a couple but , get Geary & Alford (both long term injuries last year) on the track and they could show some improvement.
Lockington wont want to rely just on Axe , he has a crook hip and his best footy is behind him , Dobson gone , favorite son Neil Hopkins leaves on a sour note , hate to say it because they will probably prove me wrong but they could struggle?
Anyone else???

That is all it is mounts are a great club, which players want to hang around. If a club is winning flags a near 50% rate over a 30 year period why wouldn't a new player from out of town come and play. Ask yourself what would you rather,
1. Get paid a packet load of $ and not play off in finals
2. Or get paid nothing and have a fair chance to play in a premiership
Whats all your answers, on grand final day what would you rather. sitting on the sidelines drinking cans with a wallet full or running around with a premiership medallion around your neck.
At the end of the day my points is your can't buy a medallion, and you would trade all the money you were paid during the year for it.
The best weekend of your life with tour mates.

They are paying a bit of money but i don't think there paying out what eveyone is saying? You can't spend what you guys are saying and have a club in 5 years time!!! Call them dumb or crazy or what you like but shorely they have some idea?
so are Gemmill and Wilson on board for 07 doona?
Ha tommy, how many senior flags have you won at mounts or have you been pushed back to the magoos due to the imports.

Ha nice one tilt. ya tool. spoke to a stanhope mate of mine on the weekend who said grinton is definately playin over there.
they will offer anything to pretty much anyone and don't seem to fussed about it. but in the last 20 years it hasn't done anything for them n u'd think they'd begin to learn from there mistakes
