Oh geez! Wouldn't have been a good outcome. Would've been pretty comical though. I am assuming this was in the twos?
Those appointing the Coach are quality people who care about the Club and I can understand and support why they've made the appointment. I believe they did some homework and while some of that I understand was mixed feedback he did get some strong endorsements along the way. He presented well by all reports was really keen to do the job and is a Premiership Coach at a higher level than we play in. He also Kicked 51 goals in 10 games this year in a Comp stronger than ours as well and has a sustained record of kicking goals. We've played in one Elimination Final since the mid 90's so if we can add in an 80 goal plus forward with some good contacts including a Non Playing Assistant who looks like he will be good value for us then I think we can finish a couple of spots higher than what we did this year and we may finally even play finals again.
And you lost your best player to Kyabram so you need to replace him also. Where abouts is Cupido going recruits players from ?
Welcome to bf roo town !! Obviously a gig person and so was I for 6 years and still have some great memories from my time there I agree that cupido with some handy players up the ground would be capable of bagging 80 to 100 goals at Kdl level I just hope the acquired home work was done on other going’s on in his life Any way good luck with the appointment just hope he does the right thing by the club
What 'goings on' Swoop? Climate change denier?
Only guy to Coach Rumbalara to a Premiership in the Murray League and they backed it up with a Finals appearance the Season after so the possibility to have success or too build closer to success in his time is possible. You seem to operate from the cheap seats!
There will be a turnover of players as there is most years and most Clubs. Barnes will be a loss but we had a few other players that travelled that didn't deliver near to the level we hoped so the potential to get a better list overall is quite possible. Having a prolific goal kicker is a good start quite often we had lots of the play against the better teams but weren't strong enough up forward.
He's signed for 2 years which is the average Coaching stint in Country Footy these days I'd suggest. Can he get us to the Finals in that 2 year window and help us take the next step we think he can.
I don't think Trent operates from the cheap seats as he is a thoughtful contributor on multiple threads and I tend to agree with his sentiments with regard Cupido. That said, I respect your arguments to the contrary, and the thinking behind his appointment as the Rumbulara flag was a strong achievement. An interesting debate and hopefully Gigaree do well over the next two years and beyond.
If they can retain the list then they will be in a great spot but I am hearing a few other clubs are trying to poach some from the nest.
10 genuine contenders fighting for 6 spots. Perfect.
Missing 7 of our best that day for various reasons, wet as a shag on a Gum premiership reunion day and didn’t kick a goal in the first half, to then only go down by 2 kicks. In saying that Boxys boys had our measure and we underestimated them. Always a bogie side for us the doggies. Still confident we were proper contenders leaving the kennel that day. Shame we didn’t get a crack at the wombats, one we always look forward too.
I reckon Hank will be able to rattle off the members of the Lakers side that were missing that day. But you might be right Bootz, we will never know, until next year.
lanky were missing a couple too.It’s not often you play your best side.
