What do you mean by not going about things the right way Clew?? I certainly feel their pain as my club has been through very similar dark times but now starting to fight our way out of it.

That's just a presumption mate, I am not around there now and have no idea who the coach is. I know they are doing the right thing in building a strong U17's but obviously something isn't working.
I don't know what they're doing wrong but it is pretty obvious there is something not working.

Should just fold. seriously. 1 word yucky, still wearing woollen jumpers. Going to get smashed every week in 2012. Just put them further and further back. Better off starting up a table tennis team.

You're obviously a troll. Why have a crack at a community sporting group like that?? Why don't you go and help them out mate? It's people like yourself who prevent this whole big footy thing from being a positive thing for country footy. Go and wave the flags for them instead of spreading your own poo into the world, thanks.
No point even replying to blokes like that mate

Inglewood need to be in the league and start to stand up. Inglewood as a town need to get a coach who has enough connections to sign players.
Have a plan. 3-5 years. Year 1 - win a game, Year 2 - recruit and win 6 games Year 3 - recruit again and win 10 games ( play finals) Year 4 - recruit and play finals. Year 5 - finals and premiership window.
If Inglewood were to chase a coach I would target, Shaun McCormick at Square at present( proven player and coach), Brett Fitzpatrick ex YCW ( has done the same thing with YC 3 years ago) or a VERY good player who can sign on for 3 years to coach. The issue is YOU HAVE TO SPEND MONEY!
The recruits signed have to commit to 2 years. No point paying blokes who wont stay. Have to commit. May have to pay more than they are worth for this to happen. So be it.
Committee to run the club. Football sub committee to help with the coach and any needs along with knowing budget afforded for the year. Committee dont have a direct line to the coach only through sub committee.
I know there have been alot of reasons Inglewood havent been successful but I keep looking at demographic they have and it surely beats Pyramid Hill and Mitiamo in population and ability to access cash. I think everyone would be pleased if Inglewood can stand up but you need a community to band together for this to happen.
Its now a matter of stand up and start building or die. Have a public rally and see if the town wants a football club. If not stop pissing in the wind and move on.

the same conversation happens each year about Inglewood. There is obviously systemic issues at he the club. probably a bit harsh to say they should fold but it must be getting to the point of no return soon.
Everytime they take a step forward they take two steps back. What's the solution? Everyone has touched on it, take a long term view and go from there, Inglewood started down that path and then a change of committee seen the coach and president step aside.
How do you help a club that can't help itself?

Righto boys time to talk some Footy again. I did a ladder prediction on the Bendigo League thread to get things moving and I dont know that much about the Loddon but I will have a crack.
Bridgewater- There winning mentality from the past few years should carry them a long way plus recruiting a few too apparently.
YCW- There pretty confident and Been thereabouts the last couple of years I only seen the Prelim Final but if Pyramid who rolled them went on to get done by 100 points then they need to recruit 6 good players Id reckon.
Pyramid Hill- Always seem to have a fair turn over of players and end up somewhere in the finals mix. Only heard of losses from their but Im sure they will pick a few up.
Bears Lagoon Serp- Made a big jump off the bottom last year to go within a whisker of playing finals. Andy Gladman was a good player at Flat and have heard they have a good crop of players his age so they should continue to improve.
Calivil United- Despite their golden era being over they always seem to be competitive. I have heard they got the Fleming brothers from Mounts so that will give them something to kick too.
Mitiamo- Our 2004 Premiership player Haythorpe is still there ( would have been interesting to see how he would have gone if he came back in) but they seem to have too many passengers to give it a real shake.
Newbridge- Actually heard Newbridge are having a dip but we thought the same last year. There list could be pretty good but not sure Birchmore can coach.
Marong- Got a few good players from Eaglehawk heading out there but dont think they will go too well.
Inglewood- Well I think I heard they lost their Best & Fairest so doesnt sound too good for the Woods. Hopefully they have a few recruits we dont know about.

Good work Dragon fly.
My ladder prediction is fairly different. Just feel the prior grand finalist may drop down the ladder this year. No doubt I’ll be well off the mark and probably be the same two teams competing again.

Impressive work, although you forgot Serp (Scott is the only In I'm aware of).
I'm pretty sure Clutton will stay put, Ashman will probably do the same as prior years. I haven't heard if Andy Ball is going around again either.
I hadn't forgotten Serp I just haven't heard names mentioned anywhere. I believe Bally is going around again.

The Sandhurst boys up the Rifle before xmas Said the big Juice might be headed back to Bridgey and the kid Pollock. Opposition supporters will be in full tune if that's case lol.
Same night Josh McLeod was up there and he is playing and Jones and Broadbent playing there too.
We've created some discussion though which is good.

Senior List
The Gav James one surprises me, where is he meant to be headed too?
What about the biggest in/out of the season? Orry mann to line up at calival.,
So who has organised themselves some Practice Matches, when/where/against who? Will be good to see some of the names mentioned on here get out there and perform.
Heard another in for YCW is David Thompson from Heathcote
Newbridge have another player on the boil from Sandringham but dont have a name.
Serp have Podosky coming back from Whitehills
Mitiamo - talking to a couple of Eaglehawk players or should I say sniping according to some knob on the BFL thread.
Pyramid heard Bateman is now staying, $800 is tough to walk away from
McMurtrie sure to be on a packet again. Newbridge spending up big! The problem is that they get some good players in, but then loose them as well. They will be better than last year, but I still can't see them making finals. Foward line and Ruck department is there real issue....

Spot on Ike as always! I had heard originally he was going, then not going! But have confirmed Calival has won his services! May be interesting first game against the Hill.
Heard Thompson on good $ at YCW! Hope he can play?

Top 5 for league medal if he gets fit i can guarantee you that
This guy got a first name? Where's he from?
David Thompson has played 4 years at Heathcote. Don't know if he played much in the last 2 though. The Year Heathcote lost to Colbo in the Grand Final he was very good.
