Interesting stuff about Sale City....96/97 is that same season Richard averaged a very healthy 47.23 batting at number 3 for the mighty Longford?

if the roos cant get up with an (afl) makeshift team, there will be a lot of questions asked.
corey will kick 14 taking andrew lambie's spot on the full back line!

Could not see Glengarry winning 3 more games than Gormandale for the rest of the year. That is what they need to do to make it. No matter how well they play from now 3 extra wins is alot.
My side was given a lesson on how to play footy and on how to rebuild a club. I think it comes down to one thing when you are down for a long period of time and that is money to quality players. Woodside have spent some bucks but they all deliver. The swans players were taught on preperation, game time and after game activities. It is a pleasure playing against Woodside as they are a truly country football club with PLENTY of support.[/quote]
I would imagine there are players at, Woodside, Heyfield, Boisdale and other clubs who want to play for the club because the setup is good, you can't buy that!
As the coach arn't you responsible for preperation, gametime and to an extent after game activities? Maybe people don't want to be part of it?Take some responsibility mate because you were also taught a lesson.
Open your eyes and ears.
i've played at a few clubs and never yet had a coach come home with me on a friday night to ensure i do the right things to prepare for a game.
i think the point he was trying to make was that the players they have recruited showed how much more professionally they treat their footy and preparation is a big part of that which a lot, most in fact of the strattyu players need to realise and start to take seriously
a coach can only do so much for a team and as far the social nights and things like that go i think that hendo promotes them and tries his absolute best to get the guys there but at the end of the day ya cant force blokes to turn up
the culture at stratty needs to be turned around and that cannot be left up to one man.

Very interesting to see Peter Miles and Shane Piper have put clearances in to boisdale from sale city. Must be to do with the fight. Have to say i like the way City have handled the punishments and if people want to fight there is no place for them in any football club, finally city are showing some resolve and trying to build a better culture which at times could have been regarded as selfish.
If adults dont own up to there actions and choose to run, then they run the risk of not learning from there mistakes....Good luck at boisdale

Heyfield smashing woodside....hardly kicked a goal in the second half. Sending a message at the right time on a big occasion. Even though Mckernan kicked 5 i dont think this would have affected the result as i saw that Stevens didnt play. Very potent up forward the roos, with good variation and rotation options, it looks like there defence and midfield is becoming settled. Wayne Knight in the best and from what i hear was best on by a mile in the first half. Seems like he adds spark and flair, to have him rotating through the middle is a luxury and it seems that there depth is the advantage at the moment....
Churchill are coming though....cant wait for finals

What option did he have other than putting in a clearance? He has been banned from playing for the club for 5 years. He is not running, he is choosing to continue to play football. If Sale City don't let him play, would you think he should sit out of the game for 5 years and then return to Sale City in 5 years time?
Is he banned for five years from playing..i thought it was from drinking or in the social rooms???
That doesnt explain Piper..

Rocking Ronnie Burns was hot on the weekend really copping abuse from the crowd, especially when he was sent off, making gestures gravitating towards his genital area...on the field was selling candy left right and centre, abusing Mckernan and generally just doing as he wish. The game itself was extremely free flowing and in the first half was a credit to the two teams at the standard that it was played. Heyfield probably had the ball for most of the first half (66%) and probably should have capitalised more. One key player for the roos heading into the finals will be Luc Wilson, despite being undersized is playing some good football in defence and really played all over Staley forcing a move into the midfield. This forced Bulmer forward who looked at sea in the backline. Woodside really relied on big T Ronaldson and the pinch hitting combination of Stevens and Shingles wore him down. There must be questions raised regarding Woodsides depth and it is something they need to address before finals as this was exposed, Woodsides best players on the weekend are there better players and they need extra efforts from there lower to middle players to provide there best performances.

Like the above sides there are also players that play for nothing at Stratford and love the club and would never leave the club which is fantastic. You missed my whole point. I think it is fantastic that woodside and Boisdale are contenders. They recruited quality players by spending the correct amounts that there clubs can afford and have sides that will contend. This also makes more people want to go to the club and play for free because they know they could win it. Stratford has players missing out on games each week which proves that we are doing things right but if the club is to take the next step they need to recruit some BIG name players. If that means they get a GOOD playing coach then that is what the club needs to do. If it is recruit big name players and have me as coach then stick with it.
The thing you need to know is my eyes are open and i do understand footy. I know what it takes to build a club and have put many process' in place that will help the club going forward. Sure i don't dominate games and i wish i could more than anyone else. Sure i make mistakes like everyone but the thing i know is that when i leave Stratford they will be in a better position than when i got there aqnd i don't think anyone could argue with that. Am i the right person to take them to the next step? Even i am not sure. The playing group will decide that and fair enough to.
I Do take responsibility for the playing of our group always have always will. Again the point i was making is that these clubs are a credit to their commitees, coaches and members for putting everying together. You see coaches don't win premireships the whole CLUb wins them by having everything in place to achieve.

If anyone would like to elaborate on this john or luke...how many of the current stratford players will be around in 2 years time??? If you leave hendo, will they not play??? I know you need the youngsters yes (which is what your pushing to become the next generation), but mature players are critical in anyones premiership aspirations...and if stratford cant retain these players will it be hard to maintain or become a success.
Thoughts???

Long time browser, first time poster and jumping in to add a little bit of Churchill to the board. Hopefully our mid season slump is behind us now and the last 3 quarters against the combine indicated this, Most people dont give us enough credit this year for how we are going (fair enough with a couple of below par performances) but the side on the weekend had 9 different players from grand final day last year and is taking time to come together. With several big names still just getting back on the training track (D.Jenkins,G.Williams,S.Kelly and Chris Burke)we are still a good chance to go back to back, as long as Power make finals and Dowse is tied up and cant do a Cox! Best teams we have played this year are in order Heyfield, Woodside, Sale City (Dont know what's happened there) Stratford have a stack of upside if they can keep their youngsters and top up with some guns but that's the tough bit aint it? Anyway I enjoy the banter and hope I can add a bit to it.

Hmmmm....just wondering when the anticpated return of these players are??? Churchill are worried by the leg speed and in noting your teams interested to see Sale City....the leg speed has to be the reason why...i am one who has continually thought churchill are the big threat....nice to see the arrogance come out though enjoy the banter big cigar

you would hope they are all still there. It is the club responsibility to ensure they all stay. All are young and all have come with the intention of staying.
If i get stood down will they follow me?
My theory on that is simple..... If they all leave because i am not coaching then the club should keep me as it proves the playing group respects what i am doing and where we are going. If those players don't want me then i should be replaced with a gun playing coach.
I do want to coach this club and make them better but if the players don't want to continue to play for me then i should go. That goes for any club and any coach. The worst thing in football is a coaching trying to convince the club he is the right person. I love coaching Stratty but if they don't want me i will go. Simple.
The following list are the players we have recruited and there age showing that they all came with a long term intention
Noel Jansz - 23
Nick Farley - 24
Chris Camm - 28
Brad Rogers - 28
Brett Hudson - 23
Jon Taylor - 25
Anthony Goodes - 27
Ben Hurley - 23
Chris Hudson - 25
Luke Klasen - 19
Dylan Bolton - 20
I would hope 80% of that list is still playing in 2 years time regardless of who is coaching and hopefully are playing with 2 HIGH quality players. Throw that in with the kids coming through and the already there players like Light and Nicholls and i do believe there is hope. Again the club needs and relizes we need to pay to get two high quality players.
Hope that answers the question Nuggett.
By the way Nugget if i bowl medium pace you shouldn't have kept up to the stumps in your GCL game. You might have been able to grasp a couple. hahaha

The problem was i didnt realise or know many off spinners that bowl out swing...probably as embarassing as keeping back with a helmet on at wurruk last year
By light you mean brad and by nicholls you mean mal????

Sale City have speed granted but it is more the ability of their bigger onballers to be able to go forward and kick goals, Schuey and Downes, who have pace and are good in the air were a tough match up on the day. Look for Churchill to a bit more negating on the likes of Neille, Conway and Dowse next time we play Heyfield, stop their mifileders scoring and I think it can drastically lower their scoring power. Someone will know but I cant recall Churchill getting torched by big forwards to often recently,mostly smaller or medium forwads. Jenkins 3 weeks away, Williams ready to go (will be a great foil for big Browny, who has gone great guns in his first year at the club and is behind only Ronaldson and Stevens as the best big bloke in the comp) Kelly 3-4 weeks and probably more hopefull than anything on Burke. Look for the coach to spend a lot more time forward in the last 2 months of the season, as with the guys mentioned at the top almost impossible to match up on, just ask Boisdale!

Heyfield Szabo kicked 4 in the last quarter when game was on??? You are right Mcdonald is good up forward as a pinch hitter, not as a permanent imo.
Master Of Time

I hear the big d-train (daniel dowd) is on fire in the 3rds. Along with the usual kodie woodland. does the Heyfield seniors coach actually watch the 3rds play? they surely should be gettin a game.
bushboy3
Debutant
kodie woodland has had his statistics done regularly this season quite often reaching 50 disposals around the midfield and halfback line, wen the 3rds play a team they can actually kick goals against he plays more of a role up 4ward and has shown he can kick plenty of goals (kicked 8 against woodside round 2). daniel dowd has size and ability but needs 2 work more on his goal kicking as he missed easy oppotunities last week.
with the the 3rds game of heyfield vs stratty being a forced bye this weekend we may see woodland hav a run in the ressies which may bring some attention 2 him from stu the roo. as 4 dowd, he doesnt train, just shows up and strutts his stuff on game day so i dont think we will b seeing him in action this week.

is dowd that good he don't have 2 train. have seen him kicking the footy and he kicks like champion. kicking style is so fluent and smooth, his technique should be taught to young kids getting into the game. A pure champion.
bushboy3
Debutant
yes he does hav a lovely technique which is y i cannot figure his goal kicking woes, perhaps it is a confidence problem, he may need 2 hit the track throughout the week just 2 hav some shots and get his confidence back. i like the way he roams around and makes the center half forward area his own! he shows great leadership in an inexperienced forwardline
