I heard back to Para Hills not that i've ever been but hope to this year.
14 East appointment looks very dubious & political.

Hi Falcons Crest,

if you don't mind me asking, what part of the U14 East appointment looks very dubious and political?

Not trying to argue with you but I am relatively new to the scene and am not sure what you mean.

I used to work with Rob Drusetta , he was coaching girls back then if I remember rightly, good luck with the little gentlemens Rob...

14 east coach , wondering is his son in this squad? if so would that be right to have father coach son in this zone titles . is this what you talking about falcons crest ?

CLUB · Post by **CLUB** » Thu Jul 20, 2006 11:16 pm

YES CORONA, THIS IS TURE AND HIS SON BEST FRIEND. BOTH IN THE TEAM.

corona · Post by **corona** » Fri Jul 21, 2006 4:27 pm

well club in the best interest of the zone team and for his son , would it be better the coach resigns , and his son be selected on his own merits and that way it doesnt lead to complaints re father coaching son and any other problems . has this also coached before and where ?

corona · Post by **corona** » Fri Jul 21, 2006 5:44 pm

mark zito u13 east . he coaches adel city u14a , isnt this a conflict of interset as he can scout players to suit adel city . ????? seems to me a little questionable..

I am wondering how come there is no u/15 Zone teams thins year

Mrs Roma · Post by **Mrs Roma** » Sun Jul 23, 2006 5:47 pm

i also think the desision of the u/14 east coach is very dubious and political. i think that if the player is good enough he will get in on his own merits.

No one should question any of the appointments in terms of conflict because there is a lot of work involved, no payment of even expenses, a lot of time to be committed and at the end of a long season. They should be thanked.

Without "fathers" coaching their sons there would be alot of teams without coaches. The benefit of a quality coach taking the team even though his son plays in the team is very high to the other members.

Mrs Roma · Post by **Mrs Roma** » Sun Jul 23, 2006 8:56 pm

its one thing coaching your son at a club level but when it involves other clubs there starts to be conflict.

povman_2009 · Post by **povman_2009** » Mon Jul 24, 2006 2:19 pm

I cannot believe some of the comments on this topic.

Firstly we have people suggesting we cannot have coaches involved if their sons are playing , why the hell not

Secondly we have people complaining that we shouldn't have people who are coaching at a club level involved....

So if we ban all parents and all club coaches who the hell do you think is going to coach the kids.

If I was involved at this level of coaching and I read these comments, I would feel that ignorant people were questioning my integrity and ideals.

For a start as a parent the last thing I would want to do is embarass my own child by selecting him if he is not up to scratch, it becomes obvious very quickly when this happens and noone enjoys it, least of all the child in question.

Anyone who puts up his hand to take on additional , unpaid responsibilities deserves credit and thanks , not innuendos and sly remarks about politics.

well povman 1964 , welcome to the real world and you will see what its all about with these selections , its a matter of who you know and how far you can help the person you want . sorry but i have seen it for 2 years and had parents tell me the coach ask them to change clubs , so when you hear this you have the right to ask who benefits .

Im afraid it happens people, there was an appointed coach in the west two years ago for the girls zone comp who selected six or seven players from his club and then proceded to poach the remaining players in the team he selected from other clubs to his club. It does leave people cynical and a bad feeling towards sending the kids out, but how do we fix this problem!!!!!

Dirty Sanchez · Post by **Dirty Sanchez** » Mon Jul 24, 2006 11:49 pm

Noticed that Zoran isn't coaching a zone team in the west this year. Then again he has got a pretty strong club team now. Yes gentlemen it does happen

povman_2009 · Post by **povman_2009** » Tue Jul 25, 2006 9:35 am

Not saying this doesn't happen , but what is the alternative, where else will you find coaches.

Plus players move clubs for a variety of reasons, some chasing glory others chasing the chance to get on the field and play.

When one coach can poach that number of players from one club to another then maybe questions should be asked about what was happening at the club they are from in the first place.

I do not like the real world , I shall retreat to whence I came.....

Well does bill preston normally coach?

corona · Post by **corona** » Tue Jul 25, 2006 12:00 pm

the problem is some not all coaches promise things to players and parents also get all blind as they beleive in there child . so they leave there club with blind thoughts, the other problem seems to be clubs are told to send 5-6 players to zone trials , true or false . if true why is it adel city send ten ? these ten then only pass the ball between them selves , to be looking good , sorry but zone needs to be looked at . and seriously . true its hard to find coaches , but its not impossible .

CLUB · Post by **CLUB** » Tue Jul 25, 2006 3:28 pm

ALL CLUB WERE TOLD TO SEND OUT 6 PLAYER AND ALL CLUB HAD THE OPTION TO SEND OUT UP TO 8 PLAYER. i LIKE HOW YOU ALL PICK ON ADELIDE CITY.
YOU CAN ONLY HAVE 6 PLAYER IN THE LAST 16 FROM ONE CLUB.
ADELAIDE CITY HAS SAME VERY GOOD PLAYERS.

corona · Post by **corona** » Tue Jul 25, 2006 3:42 pm

well club it happens every year and i like to see if only 6 are only picked from one club . we have to wait and see , players have been told they will get a phone call if selected , unbelievable .
