Na, overrated as a coach. Is a good onfield leader but poor in strategy, communication etc

Bruce Gonsalves, new coach of Woodend is a reservoir boy. Tough as nails, played a dozen or so games for collingwood in the 70's. Kicked 5 on Kelvin Moore one day, was only 18 at the time! Could have played 200 games but just too lazy and thought it would happen for him. Spent a few years here and there. Signed for two clubs in the SANFL in one weekend but didn't end up playing for either. Collingwood demanded 50K for his transfer! Is apparently very keen about the job, guaranteed the board he'd be around for three years minimum. Has ruffled nev massina's feathers, chasing old woodend players back from Kyneton. The committee apparently has long term goals about woodend going to the Bendigo FL and has plenty of mates in high places from his playing days. Early signs have indicated a big year for the hawks in 2006.

Still a strong word that Kilmore have made Laurence Angwin a healthy offer to join the Blues. Could this be to cover the possible loss of Robbo who's name continually bobs up next to Avenels?

When a small group from woodend spoke to the BFL on behalf of the W.F.C last year, it was all very positive and signs were good. Not sure how much has changed now that NBJFC has joined the BFL. It's a medium to long term goal (3-5 years). Gonsalves is apparently very good at raising capital. Ran a sportsmans night that earned around 15K when coaching up north. Not a bad effort

dont forget up north they were paying players so there was money around the club obviously sponsors, members and paid players. woodend doesnt usually pay big dollars and have alot of kids that will not have alot of money,but i guess one team towns always seem to get the behind their clubs and good luck to him if he can do it they had their worst season in years so they will all be keen to get back on track.
Bendigo FL?,woodend would last 1 or 2 seasons and quickly return to the RDFL.They dont fit in a major league,for one thing they're ground wouldnt come to Bendigo FL standards.spoke4923 said:

Im pretty sure many said exactly the same thing when Gisborne joined the Bendigo league. Their ground was very nearly as bad as Woodends before the council spent 50k improving drainage etc. Lets not forget that same ground is widely recognised as one of the best surfaces / facilities in the Gis District Cricket Assoc.
Big question is though, where do they find the 100k plus to compete in the BFL. Gis and Kyneton would pay b/w 40-60k on players alone let alone all the other costs of running a club. I think it might be too much to have 3 small towns all relatively close sucking that kind of money out of community.
good to see woodend recruiting for next year.
Does anybody know what is going on at romsey has morgan signed with west adelaide yet i believe he has till xmas. did meldrum have any success with changing his post up woop woop if not bye bye.
