as far as i know the points system is not in as yet.
lead to believe that south has been decimated by players leaving.

Hamilton and other sides that are cashed up can spend all they want....the new points system will nulify of how many can come in.
I'm not sure on what the point's limit is (maybe 15) plus last yrs recruits while deducted some points, are added into the totals of this yr.
So while hamiltons coach can be a little coy atm, they may not have much more room to outlay......with Fiora and the other chap plus the deducted points of Fiora number 2, regardless of how much coin they have!!!!

enough of the muble
post sesaon predictions in order of finish after last game of 2011
portland
west
north
millicent
east
imps
casterton
hamilton
south
heywood
As i said previously ff, i wasnt clear on if it was in or not !? but that doesnt change my opinion on Russell's quick fix....it hasnt worked previously where he's been and he'll need a lot more just to be competitive.Bigant a bit more research is needed by you the points system will not be in this year in the Western Border hense the reason Grant Russell has been very active this year with the recruiting.
Hamilton will definately improve this year and do better than what Heywood did because they have developed their juniors better and arent as far of the pace then what Heywood were before getting the big recruits. Also the club is better ran and organised.
The players I have heard that are leaving or retiring are:Who are all these players leaving Sount that would have some people picking them to finish down the bottom?
The only player I have heard leaving that would make a difference is Milich. Apart from Leroys reitrement and I guess Mick Ryan going that way aswell.
Will wonker how you now all this info from these 2 clubs, you must be involved in the inner core group of the south footy club are you?.Or is it the portland committe as well?.Freak you tool
firstly south only beat west once for the year and did that in the last 10 mins when ryan got sent off. also they have lost half of their "B" grade side as well, with those players going to other clubs. they are in disaray. more infighting than the labour party.
who have portland lost? no one and they should regain the jail bird
it will be a pleasure to see you
willwonker you seem to be a great man of knowledge how much quality senior footy had you played?.Have you heard of that big key forward south might have picked up called ogolive or something was listed in previous quotes by the freak show?.think he was from the gippsland or something.Dynast
to true the rumours are rife from south and for a great power house it is sad that has happened.
will be an intersting season and hopefully they dont bring in the points system
Who's the board moderator around here? .. seriously.
I too have heard that South are going to be in strife this year, have heard that Copping may have gotten a little stale(?). Boys are moving on, and there's the obvious retirees.
Heywood look to be in serious trouble. As far as im aware, they are yet to sign a senior coach still. Nash has been taking training while the club continue to pursue something of any great value.
Portland looks to be in great stead. I believe in the rag sometime before the new year they announced Jeremy Hayes as assisistant coach from a league a little more central. (May have been Ovens & Murray, not sure. ) England set to return also told, along with another young lad that has been running around in the South West league.
Thanks for that info Paradiddle about the point system. Had heard that it was going to be trialed/implemented. Personally dont think its the greatest of ideas. Had this spurred from Heywoods influx in '10? If you look at it like that, Heywood would've racked up many-a-point but still didn't get them anywhere. Already not a fan of this system. ???
The players I have heard that are leaving or retiring are:
Peter Haten (retiring)
Lyndon Smith (Tant)
Luke Foran (Tant)
Nathan Bell (Tant)
Ashley Brant and his Brother (Tant)
Marcus and Leigh Von Duve (Glencoe)
Josh Wilson (Glencoe)
Mick Ryan (Edenhope)
Ben McGregor (Pt Mac)
Leigh Capewell (ret)
Heath Sims (Ret)
That is a lot of players also have heard that there could be a few more yet they are sitting on the fence waiting to see who the club can recruit. BUT REMEMBER THIS IS THE SILLY SEASON some of the above could be trying to get a little bit more in the pocket
As a passionate supporter and past committee man of the SGFC, I feel it is in the clubs best interest that I respond to a few of these comments that have been posted.
Firstly, all good things must come to an end, 20 years of success is a proud achievement, Secondly and most importantly it must be said that the departure of all players has NOTHING to do with Jon Copping. All players leaving have their own personal reasons.
Cam Milich - Coaching Kongorong
Nathan Bell - Returning to Tant as he lives in Millicent
Marcus & Leigh Von Duve - Returning to Glencoe as they told the club when they arrived that they were only playing in WBFL for 2 years.
Josh Wilson - Signed at Glencoe for big $
Peter Harten - Playing
Luke Foran - Playing
Ash Bryant and Brother - Playing
Leigh Capewell - Playing
Heath Sims - Playing
Lyndon Smith - Signed at Tant for big $
Ben McGregor - Playing under his brother who is coaching Pt Mac
Yes its true, we have lost a lot of players, but as it happens everywhere the smaller cashed up clubs want success and the only way to achieve it is by buying players from dominant clubs. If anything it should be a credit to Jon Copping that he built a successful team that every other club is trying to emulate.
Didn't think it would take long, but everyones entitled to their own opinions. South missed the finals in 2007 under Mick Ryan and everyone was calling the dynasty finally over. Jon returned to coach in 2008 and took the club to an elimination final, followed by a premiership the year after. The playing group is not divided and the reason Mick Ryan has indicated he is playing for Edenhope this year is because he has been told he will be given limited game time, as South has some very good younger ruckmen.
The rig obviously he must of toweled you up on the field during your playing days as ou dont sound like a happy camper there.How do you know what is going on in the inner sanctum of the south footy club have you played there?.Instead of quoting all this rubbish on here you fool get the hard facts or dont comment at all.End of the matter big boy.Jon Copping has done nothing except walk into a succesful club. He went back to Penola after a stint with south for big dollars, and said he'd be there for a number of years. All he does is big note himself. He can play the game But is full of himself. I believe the reason your younger players are leaving are because south have divided playing groups under copping, with him sticking with the older blokes and not moving on and giving the younger ones experience. Also Copping getting caught in the toilets with another woman cant be good
