Wasn't it stated last season that Burke and Montgomery got offered the joint senior coach before it was offered to Ahmet, but knocked it back??

they should try and find a good playing coach to replace a great playing coach and not jsut appoint some1 already there, wouldn,'t do any favors for the club, recuiting wise

Look nothing certainly against Sam Ahmet personally as I do not know the goings on of the club, but I think there appeared to be gaps in the Shepp East club that certainly weren't their in 2006.
I watched them only 4 times for the season and from what I saw I would say that the players didn't seem to conduct themselves anywhere near to the level they did in 2006, also he and his coaching panel didn't appear to have full control of the club like they did in 2006.

As Sam said in an interview with the Shepp News, he didnt really have the desire to coach, and still doesn't know what he wants to do. Have never listened to him to talk or how he goes about his coaching, but I'm pretty sure we all know he only got his gig in Bendigo from his connection with Hickmont, not from his coaching capabilities, know playing against him he never said boo out on the field, just went about his job and did it well, but when you're a playing coach I think you need to do a bit more than that.

Not that I heard him speak that often, but when they beat Blighty in that final at Deni, I listened to him at 3/4 time and I was very disappointed in not so much what he said, but the way he said it. He showed little passion and never got the boys going (even though they won the game). He was very vague, just didn't have the speaking skills to be a coach I reckon. Not taking anything away from his ability to play the game, just seemed that coaching wasn't his forte'.

Final 8 rewards mediocrity. Also you could win every game of the year and lose the prelim and that is it.

I haven't heard a district league have an 8, but lets see how it goes. Nothing beats the final 4 or 5 systems.

I would think that the PDFL will not be a 16 team comp for long... something will be done.

 

[NOT TELLIN U]

Re: Piccola District football league

the problem wit shepp east is that sammy is great one on one but as a senior coach he wasnt no good. as some of em told me. the difference in the playing group from 06-07 is that in 06 we were pretty good mates n in 07 they couldnt care less bout each other. thats y i left n went else where. the selection panel was no good this year. they wouldnt no how to even play footy themselves. let alone pick a side to play footy.

Rovers sign up big Timbercutter

December 14 2007
Deniliquin Pastoral Times

THE Deniliquin Rovers Football Club unveiled its third key signing this week.
As expected, former Mathoura and Deniliquin full forward Brad Todd officially joined the Roos' ranks yesterday.
Todd, who has kicked over 50 goals in a season for both the Rams and Timbercutters, will start training with the Rovers after Christmas.
The key forward has followed his former coach Terry Blake to the club. Blake only recently signed on as the Roos' reserves coach after two seasons alongside Todd at Mathoura.
The Rovers' Picola Football League premiership stocks have soared since the end of the 2007 season.
Bode has also signed on Finley big man Marc Braybon and former Deni Rams best and fairest Andrew May in recent weeks.
This trio, plus the possibility of veteran Blake taking on a senior role, has Bode smiling about the 2008 season.
"Brad's a big signing for us. He can allow guys like Benji [Hardman] to play up the field a bit more.
"We were after a big man who can kick goals and Toddy fits this description perfectly. He's a long kick for goal and strong mark, very valuable," Bode said.
Todd missed most of last season for Mathoura with a serious knee injury, but resumed running a couple of months ago.

Win, Win, Win, I beleive for all involved.
Think Rovers have put the final link in their premiership hopes chain.
Think it gives greater opportunity obviously, through necessity, for the developement of key position players from within the Mathoura junior ranks.
Brad gets a greater opportunity to play in a very formidible line up in 2008.
Lets not forget Rovers bottomed out for a few years and during which time they developed their own players and turned the club around through junior development and by improving the success of their junior players/sides over 4-5 years.
Think they have been extremely clever in topping up over the past couple of years when their own juniors have had a few years of experience.
Keep an eye on the way Katty are going about things, I think they are on a similar track !!!

Not a fan of him at all... Got tickets on himself and a dose of little man syndrome I reckon.

From the the outside looking in, I reckon you're right balls.

Doyle does know what it takes, and has very sucessful. Interesting to see how the recruiting will go for Shepp East with this late appointment, he'd have plenty of contacts though, and the approval of the committee to use some coin.

He's not coming back just to make up the numbers.
