maybe they need a few old heads to go back and help out? maybe the current regime isn't pushing the club forward enough..... around the traps always hearing of the internal issues with players etc
I remember the days of Stagforlife - he was a character and loved the Stags

Old heads that are there are fine, just either use to running a junior club or a club the way it was run 30years ago, unfortunately, you cant run clubs in the top two tiers like that anymore.

Especially with a heap of Toronto Juniors around the 17-19yo bracket playing NPL seniors already at clubs like Olympic, Lambton, Azzuri, Valentine others at Kahibah and Lakes ant toronto juniors established at clubs like Wheelhouse, Cowburn ( both ), Bowling ( ret ), Remington ( westlakes ), chiefy, mcpherson, edwards etc etc im sure theres a heap more but unfortunately the way it is at the moment they have to travel in town way.I always admired his passion for the Stags
(
which is understandable, every kid wants to win, if the local club isn't going in the right direction why wouldn't they leave? I'M sure you are well aware of these reasons GO AWAY, as you have passion for the stags, maybe its time to speak up and tell the a few home truths?
There is some talent running around in the 17s this year that people have noticed and spoken about, lets hope they can fend of interest from other clubs.
maybe its time for change? If a president or committee sacks the manager he initially appointed, maybe he should go as well?
Hmmm

When does the draw usually get released to clubs?
Next week.
Brad waters lived out that way aswel
not a bad side on paper? wonder if they could afford to get those players back? heard there current squad is on high wage demands for a club that isn't performing? surely this must be looked at....
one of the best managers once said- we had a good side on paper, unfortunately the game is played on grass
Couldnt afford to get many back, trust me, need to build a culture where elite kids want to play there for their local club, unfortunately the next tier of kids coming from U16D isnt going to be the future of the stags, with a few exceptions now and again of course.
what can be done though GO AWAY, surely the disappointing results must kick them into gear, the jnrs and snrs need to sit down and have a good hard look at themselves, from reports they don't get on at all? any reason for this?
its sad times for a club when people just sit there and watch the club decline
Mate, years ago when halpo was there, they took in the Morisett and Westlakes clubs as feeder clubs, done coaching clinics, had " a " graded nominate teams at each of the three clubs in U13-14-15, had coach the coaches nights with the Juniors, in which halpo coached drills to aspiring junior coaches, unfortunately when halpo left plus some other board members, it all stopped. The club had the right ideas back then but deferring opinions and a few uuum uuum other people joining the club has seen it in decline ever since, what it needs is someone " like back then " go to the meetings, get fully on board and get it up to where it should be. Wont take one person, it will take 10-20, but needs ONE person to do the recruiting. No good people talking the talk and then going in half hearted. You either want the club to excel or you dont.....
yeah mate halpo and a few others done good for the club and people who didn't understand football drove a few key people out, the stags use to be a decent club, Bull was running the show at one point and was doing a good job.... Seems like a family affair at present?
Maybe they need to go back and sit down with certain people or ask for help? surely there is people willing to help, its alarming when people that have coached there or offered to help get turned down and then you see them excel at other clubs!
Who do you see from there as having excelled at other clubs in recent times cookaburra? Not being sarcastic here, am interested in your response
was talking about players and coaches, the names can go on from what has come through Toronto as mentioned above from the Postman- I remember Jim Foley coaching out there also?
would you like any other players that have come out of Toronto- Bowling? Rudder? Metcalfe- use to score for fun
was more questioning why the let them go, or simply fall through the cracks?
Aaaaaaaah Ricki Metcalfe, could play, i know he was from Toronto, but i think came through Magic Juniors ???
Mcbreen was there as well but Edgy Junior ??
Troy Halpin, Steve Eagleton ........... biggest injustice of them all, losing eags
couldn't agree with you more GO AWAY!!! Ricki was top shelf, is he still running around at all, wouldn't mind him lacing the boots up at Cooks Hill for a cameo performance
