how did marong new recruits ben tuohey & simon cluff go in the 2s sat.seems marong are still recruiting & spending coin

Cluffy might find himself playing with the big boys this week after a pretty good showing last Saturday. Ben Tuohey might need a couple in the 2's to get a bit of match fitness back but it won't be long before he's in the seniors, especially given the mounting injury list.

Marong are most certainly still recruiting, with a BFL midfielder possibly signing shortly. Not a lot of money being spent though.

Where is all the coin coming from? Aren't we supposed to have some sort of salary cap? Has this been scrapped because it's been put in the too hard basket for our league. If you have to buy a premiership you club's crazy. Stick with the faithfull & the kids. They are the ones who will be around a lot longer than the "one year wonders" who pick up their coin the pi$$ off & don't give a crap about the club.

Thats a great way to run a football club if your happy finishing fifth or sixs every year. If you are serious about being a flag contender (which should be everyones goal) you need to spend the clubs revinue on players. It sucks but thats just how it is, so theres no point crying about it you just work harder of the feild to raise some money and recuit the right blokes to your club. If you can create the right enviroment you'll find they stick around and at a lower cost.

Or just develop the local tallant so the club doesn't need to pay mega bucks for half a side of rejects and can just recruit one or two good solid match winners and few others to add a bit of class around the edges. then they can offer a bit of the coin to the locals who have hung around..

i'm not a marong follower, your club has done well big rick, they have looked after there own, some clubs are not lucky enough to have blokes come home to play thats why they have to spend some $ to attract. :D
 
I have only been at marong for a short time but from what I have seen they do a fantastic job at developing young talent and have managed to keep a few older local players around the club. This year we have had 3 guys under the age of 18 play seniors and all of them have played well and are developing into excellent footballers. Freddo is a local marong boy, How many other clubs coaches are local? Murray Wearne is a local as are the blandthorns and several others. The fact is the club is rebuilding after a hard few years and they have managed to recruit a good mix of players without spending big money. Everyone who is there is there because they are keen to help the club turn things around and hopefully play finals footy this year and for many years to come. The facts are that no club can survive on locals alone outsiders have to come to the club in order for them to survive let alone be successfull. You do the best you can to develope local talent but at the same time you encourage and support your local talent to be the best that they can be and if that means playing at a higher level then thats great for them and the community and by extension the club having produced that talent. People move on for many different reasons and you cant keep people in one place forever. Anyone who takes a potshot at a club for trying to turn their on field success around is a joke and needs to grow up people like you have no place in country footy because all you do is bring it down and it makes me sick. Marong is not splashing the cash and bleeding themselves dry they are working hard within their means to be the best team and club they can be get off their backs and start encouraging them because its not just good for them but good for the league.

All well and good bloonhound!. What about the Marong Community? I've heard the Marong Family Hotel approached the footy club with a sponsership deal and the footy club said they would consider it. Next time the pub heard the footy club had taken the same deal to the Lake View. Any truth to the rumor?

They have done it for 6 months, and has taken them since about 1989 to realise that the approach they have taken is better in the long term and better for the club. Well done to them for biting the bullet, they have appointed the right bloke to coach a local who has the club and the community's best interest at heart. If you look at the appointments throughout the league this year it is a similar story

Newbridge - Scott Pigdon premiership player at Newbridge

YCW - Matt Keating premiership player at YCW family history at club

Marong - Brett Rogers family deeply entrentched at the club

Calivil - Andy Fremantle won a million premierships at the club family history at club

Absolutely no truth whatsoever Nesko. It was the club who approached the pub about sponsorship. I was part of the discussions and I can tell you that no monetary figure was ever seriously discussed as what the hotel had to offer was not suitable to the football club. It was also clear that they could not accommodate the numbers on a Saturday night, leaving no viable solution. A sponsorship deal was then struck with the Lakeview and the Newmarket hotels (of which the publicans of both are current Marong footballers). This deal was more than twice what was discussed with the Marong Hotel. As much as the club wanted to stay at the Marong Hotel, the decision was pretty simple in the end from both a logistical and business point of view.

Ben Tuohey that played at Colbo years ago? Very handy player when fit if this is him.
