Really disappointing article in the News section of the Lancefield website regarding the current situation they are facing... Naming other RDFL clubs as "poachers" and claiming that many RDFL clubs would like nothing more than too see the Tigers fold is a bit of a stretch, I am sure there would not be a person in the RDFL that would want the Lancefield Tigers as a club to fold...
As for the "poaching" bit, well, we have been over that on here a million times!!!
That was a letter sent to all current and past players that the club has contact details for. You might see it as disappointing, I see it as a passionate plea to people around the club to help keep the Tigers on the park.
Wright was not in Macedons best 6 last players last year. Infact id say that the team would improve with him leaving.
hmmm, not in the best six? spent alot of time in the midfield and ended up playing 15 games and winning the goal kicking byt 20 odd goals, playing with very limited hamstrings also.
Rumour has it he may be a cat in 2011 after all. You just never know what tomorow will bring.
Speaking to a few players from the club, i get the feeling that they would be quite happy if he didnt come back!!
Firstly, the letter is aimed at triggering the pride of Lancefield people, not at any other person or club.I don't have a problem with the passionate plea.. What I think is clutching at straws is the insinuation that the other clubs in the competition are the reason for the troubles that your club now faces, and that they are enjoying it.. Could not be farther from the truth....
Speaking with players that are considering playing in the RDFL that read big footy, I get the feeling that they put a line through teams that have a crack at players once they have left a club. It serves no purpose exept a detrimental one to the club.
Maybe the reason Riddell are so successful is that you don't see them bagging any players that have left the club. Maybe that is also the reason so many return!
Firstly, the letter is aimed at triggering the pride of Lancefield people, not at any other person or club.
Secondly, nowhere in the letter does it say that any other club is the reason for our current situation. Sorry, was the word 'poached' used? Maybe you'd prefer 'lured' or 'recruited'? Fact is that rival RDFL clubs have 'recruited' some of our better players. You can't blame them for that. Fact is, some of our better players have been 'lured' no doubt for better coin. Good luck to them. The letter also mentions players going to bigger competitions and others retiring. In the same sentence. Not sure how other RDFL clubs have influenced this?
"Football is a very competetive game and I am sure there are other RDFL clubs that would enjoy seeing LFNC fail." That's what is written in the letter. Nothing about seeing us 'fold'. You don't think Romsey would love seeing us slide down the ladder? That, IMO, is the very definition of failing, especially when the past 2 seasons have yielded a premiership and a top 2 finish after H&A season.
So mate, if you want to turn this into a shot at other clubs, you go for your life. But reality is our presidents passion for the club was put into words to stir the passion of Lancefield people. And as a result the numbers are continuing to improve on the track, and the club is looking forward to fielding 3 teams in 2011.
Agree. It is just a cheap shot. You would never see that with Riddell. In fact you barely see anyone connected with Riddell post on here and its pretty much unheard of to see anyone from diggers post on here. Could be something in that. Riddell rarely loose players.Speaking with players that are considering playing in the RDFL that read big footy, I get the feeling that they put a line through teams that have a crack at players once they have left a club.

It's obviously unrelated but I see the Allen boys are leaving Riddell. Anyone know why?

Ha, Wont happen. You should hear him when he's playing cricket, nothing wrong with a bit of lip, and Jimi can usually back it up with his footy. Sam Bowen also a big loss, Good luck to DW-will be a big challenge for the Hawks this year.would like to say a big congrats to jesse sheppard for getting the job as captain and good luck to danny waters with coaching. lets hope the forwards can kick some goals and keep woodend in it big job for ross waters and james hepburn (hope hepburn keeps his mouth shut and plays footy). as for the rest of the team to many have left and not enough coming in to fill the holes will be a rough year i think.
