WRFL Division 3 2018

[LavertonMagpie]

I never played at Laverton in your time but as an outsider looking in I respect what you tried to do/achieve in your time there and I know a few people from inside the club who have respect for you. The club has always had its issues and when someone like yourself come in and tried to clean it up it certainly caused a bit of a stir.

Thanks mate and it works both ways... whilst there were many shitheads at that place there were some absolute ripping blokes that I still keep in contact with today... the sad reality is that you can’t polish a turd... at the end of he day it will still be a turd... sneakysneaky being the king of them!

 

[Avg at best]

He tried to do what he was paid to do.
Nothing different to what any other coach would do.
Failure is failure.
And the club was left no better off ultimately.
Too many excuses from both ends, with egos blinding the facts.
Nothing was ultimately gained.

Least he tried mate. Not sure who you are Sneaky maybe PM me and il reveal myself also.
What I liked about it is there was always articles in the local paper, social media etc where he was pumping up the club and openly admitted to try and make some changes re the culture of the club. Apart from Scott and Dal Harvey I haven't really seen a coach take the job and do more than just coach the club. Perhaps people like this need to be welcomed as a breath of fresh air rather than a detriment.

And Laverton Magpies were you paid? Highly doubt it and if so would've been very little I reckon

Thanks for the kind words mate. Yes I was paid but I took the major sponsorship from $3500 for the season to an initiative called Club 100 which brought in $10k the first year and around $7.8 and $6.5k the next 2 years, got my wife’s family business to put in $2500 a year for 3 years and had another initiative that brought in over $12k in my final year... its these things that are always overlooked by scumbags that think I coached just for financial gain... I could earn what I got for coaching in 2 months in my job at the time!

 

[In the Thirds]

I imagine coaching Laverton for 3 years, would be like coaching 6 years at any other club. Just holding onto to the job for 3 years is an achievement compared to the last few years at Laverton.

It seemed to me last years coach seemed to be on the right track, maybe not results but off field, just from the outside.

LOL Makes me laugh when some people on here have a week long slugfest with Laverton Magpies every 12 months. I am on here to read about local football stories not to see people bagging each other specially past events that get brought up time and time again If you don't want to talk football PISS OFF.

Any practice Matches this week? Keen to watch some footy - it's a bloody long preseason!

North Footscray playing Wyndham at Wyndham mar 24 amd Tarneit at Nth on Apr 7

Why would the Div 2 Premiership side play 3 Div 3 clubs for scratch matches

 

[Over The Post]

Probably a six quarter training run for combined seniors and ressies?

Any problem playing 2 sides who will probably fight out the div 3 premiership.

Did Glen Orden Score against you's last week ?

 

[In the Thirds]

Any other clubs having games this weekend or in next couple of weeks?

Be interested to see what sort of team are fielding.

Can't imagine there deserves would be much good.

But as long as they field two teams each week , its something they can built on.

 

[Avg at best]

Like my name change? Laverton have had a sook and want my Big Footy name back so the moderators apparently have the right to change my name... what a wank!

Jeez youd think there would be more important things to worry about

Wouldn't you want to play sides that will test you at least 1 game through pre-season. As good as Tarneit and Suns might be in Div 3 they are a long way off a div 2 premiership side

Still a game of footy though isn't it. If anything youd have to admire these Div 3 sides wanting to have a crack.

Yep great on the Suns and Tarneit not only gives them a gauge on 2018 but what they need to improve should they go up in 2019. Not sure it will give North an understanding on where they are at though

Wickers we know where we are at. Very easy for you to sit there and make judgement on who we should play but lets remember ground availability (we can never get our ground till apr 1 because of Yarravile Club CC always in finals ) and the last 5 years we have played SFL and EDFL teams.

 

[Over The Post]

Excellent hit out from the Suns tonight against Burnside. We'll know more weekend after next when they have a 4-quarter daytime game.

Thats good to hear, we will wait till August/September. All clubs face the same issues with ground availability.
