Balmain Dockers

[Sasha]

Further to clearances, i still find it strange that Holroyd seem to be the only senior club in Sydney without a single clearance or new rego. I know(or i've been told)that 50-60 on the track at training is the norm at Gipps these days,so surely they've got paperwork to submit. Anyone shed some light? Sash or Rafters?

Where did you hear that info? I highly doubt there's 50-60 on the track every training session. From what I've heard tho, they COULD have 50-60 players in the books. But not sure what happens with the managerial side of things (as in why no clearences have been logged into the sydafl website??)

Good to see Balmain keeping an eye on this forum . The club has been sending me private messages trying to silence my talk on the club . for your information Dockers , I am simply a supporter not a current player simply a former and quite mediocre player at the club from past tigers days telling it like it is . I have contacts at a few clubs from work and playing days , and are firmly behind the Tigers / Dockers in 07 . Basically the club didnt like my talk of the club throwing the cheque book around , can the club explain how this is not the case then this season . I think they have made great improvements by use of the cheque book , just annoyed the administrators r in denial

Very interesting to note the article on Page 102 of to day's Sun Herald Tiger Town!! You people down at Balmain have managed to get a whole page of publicity for Sydney Football.Isn't someone at NSWAFL meant to be doing that? Is she being paid HUUUUUUUUUUUUGE money for that purpose? Yet NEVER any publicity! I think Orange Maggot plays with computers in there too!! Anyway well done to Balmain! What's the response from the Eagles?

If you'd had the courtesy to reply to my private message (in which I gave my name and contact details) I would have fully explained what had taken place this season - to claim you were being 'silenced' is nonsense. However, you chose not to and continue to hide behind a user name on the main forum where you continue to make unsubstantiated claims. By all means continue to support the Dockers, but your views and opinions do not reflect that of the Board of the Club.

"Shame they couldn't get their facts straight though - they referred to ECE as Premeirs"

Woodsy, It refers to WEST Coast Eagles being the reigning premiers. It is a good article, hopefully there will be more to come promoting Sydney footy throughout the year..

Nice picture Hally. Look a little underdone but tanned up.

DId not recognise any of the players. Anyone at dockerland shed some light on all of these new signings.

Didnt do you much good losing to Wollongong I hear.

Im sure Hally has them on track as as he did with the crows last year.

A great article and photo.

Extremely short sighted when you're the only (AFL) team in town .
A bit different if there's more than one team in town . But if there is ever another team in town , the horse might have bolted .

Exactly,it seemed to be a 'we just won the flag,we dont have 2 do squat' attitude,and u could feel Sydney's Footy family collectively groan with disappointment. If it wasnt for all the local club people going to Swans games in the doldrum yrs, when seagulls nearly outnumbered people,the Swans wld've died a slow death long ago.its not as if we're asking for millions,just some structural support,maybe a few of the 10 dozen footys they use?after they're finished of course!we do the right thing by them dont we?
