Local Geelong Leagues Thread (GFL/BFL) 3

Has he coached anywhere other than Queenscliff and St Albans? His record is shocking at both these clubs. Barwon Heads is a good club with a young talented line up im with you echo surely they'd be looking at a playing coach, and it shouldn't be very hard for them to entice someone good down there.

Applications closed last week and he put in an application so i'd imagine the club is doing its due diligence that involves a process to find the best available candidate to develop the list etc etc

God hope they don't pick him. I think finding someone good is the problem. A lot of positions available in the area and by the sounds of things there a quite a few inexperienced coaches tipping their hat in.

i dont think you know too much about football and that you live your football career thru this website

Pete Raidme has stood down as Grovedale coach because of health concerns. Hopefully Troy Mitchell is avalable for the job coz he'd be an excellent replacement. Boywonder i do believe i mentioned this the other week, not bad considering i know nothing!

What clubs are looking over the 3 leagues?

Pete Davenport will be named as the new coach of St Albans either today or 2moro. Good luck to pete. Im not sure how many clubs are looking for a new coach of the top of my head but its got to be a record around this region. There's at least 10 jobs up for grabs.

Dont ask tim finnigan because i think he must be related to him somehow.Dont think he would make a coach.

Doesn't have a very good reputation around Geelong.

Come back to early from a broken leg last year which probably affected his on field performance this year. Obviously has a reputation as a hot head but maybe could be a decent coach if he can curtail his on field behaviour. Im not related but know the bloke and wish him all the best.

What does this say about coaches in Geelong.are they only after the money or do they really care about the club?

Gfl is a road in front of the other 2 comps. Depends who you talk to in regards to the bfl and gdfl but personally i think the gdfl is stronger overall. All 3 leagues have sides with plenty of cash to splash but in terms of quality players running around you'd have to say gfl clubs would have more money to spend. Just my opinion, will get criticsed no doubt!!!

GFL is the best country league in Victoria basically.\

Normally i agree with you Tim but you are 100% wrong about the GDFL being better than the GFL. The BFL is easily better than the GDFL, in terms of the strength of the teams the upper echelon of BFL teams are able to field.

It is fair to say Drysdale, Ammos, Torquay and even Queenscliffe would defeat most if not all teams in the GDFL.

Agree to disagree tho..

Well you'd be on the right track and i think we all know who the snake is that he is refering to

Well done to South Barwon, a quality performance. It is fortunate they won because serious questions would have been asked about why they picked Sherman if they didn't. He was great all year but hobbled around from the first minute!

 

[Spot1]

Well done to South Barwon, they must now be close to the North Shore side of the 90's, although not consecutive premierships, to win via the prelim a couple of times is a sensational effort, dont they make T shirts about runners up being the 1st losers?

sensational effort by South Barwon to beat St Josephs by a huge margin.Just separates then men from the boys I think and the real deal from the pretenders.

 

[Phil Dickpott]

can any of u blokes tell me who was best on today, didnt hear any of the coverage and would like to know, thanks

 

[tim finnigan]

well done to south barwon footy club, from where they were in the 90's to now being one of the strongest clubs in local footy is a sensational effort. Also heard haami williams met with grovey today havnt got anymore info but will try find out more.
