i think there will be to much presure on ozzie and his boys and they will fall short at the blocks!if polner is gonna stick around it will help them out a lot but its gonna take a while to gel together.Sorry but i dont rate the blokes they have got or the ones they all ready had.

Yeh well aside from the pressures that are automatically there for a first year coach some of the posts that have been made on here by dookie players (assuming they actually are dookie players at all) won't be making Ozzies job any easier. The posts certainly make dookie look like they are full of themselves and will give added incentive to opposition teams to knock them down a peg or two.
All will be known by seasons end and for Ozzies sake I hope they do really well . I just hope he can keep his group level headed as they appear to think they are world beaters on this thread(once again assuming they are actually dookie players posting)

As if any of the crap we talk about on big footy matters anyhow! We all dribble! Just a good way to spend a day at work. Just like chatting at the pub, except with a computer and no beer!

I don't think you can ever know with Cords. Last year he put in three clearances to Tat and then stayed. Apparently training at Congupna, but we will wait and see. I guess the club will offer him clearances first. I personally think he is work a few releif milkers ($150 a week) but our club policy of not paying players continues. Makes the premierships very sweet. But if we had of topped up with a few paid players we might have won the last 2. But killed the whole culture and mentality of the club.

Without knowing, and good luck to them if they do not pay players, but I would guess they may have a very loyal few at the top of the committee that have learned to keep their mouths shut

Re: Piccola District football league

Great comment. Maybe all committee members should do the same else where if thats the case. Lambourn (Coach) & Plant (AC) will receive payment. Other than that it is incentives ($100 for best on). But I do beleive some legitimate fuel money has been paid on occasions. eg. paying for one car between three guys.

Thanks!

But I will throw another one at you -

Is it possible the coaches get paid enough, that they can afford to give a few players a donation from time to time?

Contract??? What!! In the PDFL. You play because you want to play, not because a piece of paper says you have to.

But I do beleive our number 20 is on huge money, he is worth every cent.

bertolli left congupna and went out there so maybe him, also i would have though grega would have been on a bit even though he has grown up there and played all his footy there.

Bertoli bought a house in Invergordon. One of our suburbs!!! Gregor was in a car pool with Steve Lawless and Nathan White last year, which may have been given a tank here and there. They all love the jumper!

Try to pin it on us all you like I beleive it doesn't happen. If it were happening under the board I would have heard a few whispers about it in my 14 years associated with the club. It is a special club, we all play for the same reasons.

i wasnt saying ure lying or anything its just hard to believe there would be a club out there with no players getting paid in the day and age of footy we are in. money has taken over.

I would like to think that all students that travel back could be looked after, guys who are now in Melbourne and guys who have a herd to milk.
That would be the likes of Matt Riordan, Kai Wilkie, Steve Lawless, Gregor Teague and Brad Cordy.

But we even pay for own own membership etc. Hard to beleive but...

Look I hate the idea of players getting paid, but it just has to be done.

I do not know enough about Katandra to have an opinion on who should get paid.

Good incentives (awards), good facilities, good functions, you seem to have it all, pretty much the same as Shep East. Both clubs seem to have been at the top for a long time so you must be doing something right.

But I would lean towards paying a 100 game plus GV senior player, who also has the right personality, if that will get your side across the line

just been reading about you not beliveing that katandra dont pay their players and being a commitee member i can garentee that we dont.We have once before in 1998 and that was Rodney Grinter.The players had a meeting and decided that we would cut the incentives money to get him there.He recived $150 a week and that was to pay for his flight back from tasmania each week because thats were he was living.As for now we refuse to pay the players and have done well from it so far but there will be a day that we will have to.In th 70s we payed a few players and that caused a lot of drama that being the reason that we dont.

What does the club do with all the piles of cash they must have if they don't pay any players? Would have a pretty big war chest one would think.

very true, most minor league clubs would spend between 20 and 30 grand a year on player payments(some more). So you would think they should be making atleast that each year as clubs are spending that year in year out and still making a profit.

we are saving all money for a new club house witch is going to be on the go next year with any luck.It will be simlar to what shepp east have with the glass front.There will also be other things that will be happening wich will be a new elactronic score bord,play ground tar sealed car parking and a new grand stand.As for the money we have spent in the previos years we have spent most of it on getting our ground to its current state and at the moment it would be up there with the best in the state,and we have had renno's on the current rooms.Next time your in our rooms have a look on the wall and you will see the plans are there for all to see.THATS WHAT WE WOULD RATHER SPEND OUR MONEY ON !!!!drop the subject and just exept that we dont pay the players.
