Don't know about recruits, but C. Martin and A.Mudra have been seen talking and spending a lot of time with the Seymour F.C. vise President and players in the last month.The rumour is they have been approached to slot into the coaching staff as a package deal.Maybe Bull dust, but C.Martin is on holiday with said V.P at moment.

a mudra will fill the role of canteen manager eating all the pies or would that be the chocolates

Whats the news with the raiders. they signed prior for big money and now everyone is departing. not happy times down there by the sounds of it. can anyone inform me of why?

I can only give you my thoughts on why everyone is leaving!!!!
I think its because the club has been telling its players for the last 3 years or so that they are chasing big name players. And they always fall over when they are just about to put pen to paper. Because nobody wants to go and play for the almost wooden spoon club every year.

And when Waysie left the club the first time after Whip departed he took up to 15 of their 2nd/senior players with him to chiltern. And raiders have never managed to get their stocks up since. And the club has a tendency to be cheap when approching players, this is why raiders have alot of young blood and 2nd tier players.

I have heard that raiders got away cheaply with Prior because they offered him that admin role. And he needed to get some type of formal training behind him.

From what i hear, Raiders need to sign alot more strong players otherwise at the end of next season they will lose what senior players that have left.

Are you sure that Raiders got away cheaply with Prior because it seems like everyone is saying that a massive match payment and a pretty good sign on was what helped seal the deal.

on what basis do you conclude that the players that have left raiders have left on bad terms? from my knowledge the players that have left this year have had genuine reasons and are moving out of the area. doolan to perth, gowers to hamilton island, corcoran to canada and their are a few others that may be leaving the area also for different reasons not related to footy. i agree raiders need to sign some more strong players to be competetive but the players that are there are committed to the club and trying to improve. its definately not a case of everyone being sick of whats going on and the club struggling as reasons for players leaving
 
Not having ever held down a job for long enough I wouldnt know but it would have to be 30k or up you would think. Didnt Hoggy say in the paper that north could maatch the job money but not the footy money
 
you obviously have no idea sheegers, Prior was offered plenty and from what I hear Raiders have been pretty generous with their offers. There appears to have been a bit of bad luck regarding recruiting players and obviously Doolan going is bad timing. I hear that things are going along pretty well and generally everyone is happy with those in charge.

North matched the job and $700 a game....so Raiders went to $1000 a game plus $2000 sign on.

The biggest question is not what he is paid as a player but can he do the job off the ground. Hopefully he is given a good support network as he will need it to complete the role.

Hard enough with a proven administrator than a player with no experience.

most of the players are leaving because they are sick of losing games as you can imagine no one likes losing and its not like they are improving by the looks they will be much worse this year they have only won something like 10 games in the last 4 years and with nearlly half there senoir team from last year leaving and only 2 recruits they are really battling from what i herd there numbers at pre season have been ordinary as well
 
North didnt get him into uni and raiders did and the job north offered him is not the one he wanted either so he went with the raiders..

Most team numbers at pre season fluctuate, particularly before Xmas, however im sure like most clubs they would like more players there, however, they won't be the only club with small numbers training at the moment.

Dunno if they are not improving, pretty sure they won more games last year than the year previous, including wins over sides that finished in the top 5. If memory serves me correct, they beat Wodonga before the Dogs went on their winning streak in the later rounds of the year.
 
Can someone up that way help me out in regards to some info on a player that has moved to our neck of the woods his name is brett/brad davis and he played at corowa/rutherglen i believe. Your input on type of player and form most revently would be much appreciated.:thumbsu:
 
was their anyhting in todays border mail about some new nth albury recruits???? talking to some nth supporters last night at the pub and they said their might be something about in this weeks papers
 
This thread has gone a bit quiet boys..

Can we get some people posting on each clubs comings and goings so far?

Darc - you can start us off with the Rovers. Who have they picked up apart from Norman?
 
Myrtleford have lost Carey and McFarlane and retained the rest + added a couple. Look for Tom Ivone to step up to Senior level as a Key forward, training the house down at the moment.

I think the main aim was to keep most of last year's list together which has been achieved. Apart from Karl, the only other new fella at the club is Jake Platfuss, ex bushies boy and might have won or come 2nd in Finley's B&F last season as an 18 year old. Comes with big wraps and will be an asset. Cristoforo, Silver, McIntyre, Webb and Hill are all going round again for another year. Forward line is looking potent with Cristoforo, Silver, Ross and Andy Hill and now Norman. Wont see many better in the league!

Also the absense of Burgess this season will hurt the saints.
