Don't know. A couple of clubs were interested in one, but I don't think he's signed anywhere (yet). And so far as I know, Balmain wasn't one of them.

What an arrogant statement!
A second rate club eh? Well, over the last decade Mac Uni were the only club to win three SFA flags on the trot in the long history of that comp and it was a MUCH stronger comp back then with Sydney Uni, Wollongong and UNSW as well as Manly and a strong Holroyd. They also made the finals in 2001-02 and won the flag this year. They have also consistently put four teams on the park.
Whilst Mr Bull did not have huge success on the park he certainly played a strong part in their recently rebuilding that means they will be playing in Division 1 this year.
I can only assume that you come from an SFL club and spend the your time with your head up your own ar$e with a self-inflated view of your own comp whilst looking down on others to make yourself feel better. If you are from Balmain your post is even more riduculous because you guys wrote the book on what a second rate club is....Last edited by Mug Punter; 9 November 2009, 05:26 PM.Comment

Acutally it probably stems from the fact Bull knocked them back.Comment

Agree PK, any suggestion that signing Saddo will somehow give them instant competitiveness is absurd. To the contrary is smacks of a desperate last-ditched roll of the dice for a club that has no real idea and whose approach to solving problems is always to just splash the cash (wonder if they have settled Luffy's account yet?) Remember Andrew Leoncelli, a much better player than Saddo and he made no difference at all
I am sure Saddo will be competitive but he was never a great player anyway and I reckon he will be shocked at the task in hand and also perhaps surprised at the standard of some of the players marking him.
I would have wished Balmain good luck anyway but after Cheesecake's post I am not feeling so generous.....Comment

Anyone that gives no credit to Bully for the job he did at Mac Uni is a fool, including the bloke on another thread from Mac Uni. He set up the club for DK to take over (And I have alot of time for DK) developed many players there, and DK did the rest. Any insinuation that Bully failed in his job is absurd. Sure, any coach that doesn't take his team to finals would be unhappy, but there are only four, maybe five spots to fill in our comps, and you can only piss with the wang you're given, right? We are very happy with his appointment out here, and believe he will steer our boys in the right direction, he will provide the tactical nous that I couldn't, and I look forward to seeing the results.
As for Cheescake and his comments, I think there is something a little deeper in his comments, and if Saddo does fail, you'll probably find Cheesecake will be the first to jump on the "Sack Saddo and give us our money back" bandwagon. Can't have it both ways.
Also, from the original article, what on earth gives Balmain any exclusivity over the Central Coast? Penno would unofficially hold that mantle, with players like both McVeighs, Adam Cambourne, Dylan Triegardt, Ray Hall and many others plying their trade through juniors and into colts/seniors at Ern Holmes, logistically the closest venue off the F3.Comment

so spoiler who is actually coaching Balmain? Ive heard that saddington will just be playing?Comment

Granted,but I also played against him in 16s at Penno for a season or two. Was part of a contingent of Woy Boys whose parents travelled down to Penno and also Kelso for Summer Elite Squads.
Does anyone know where he is now?Comment

Love the passion for the club Cheese Cake 69, Balmain needs people with passion like you have. But you don't do yourself any favours when you run down "lower" division clubs - there's just as much passion and dedication at those clubs as there is in Premier Division.Yeah nice one Pekay. At least we get blokes with some credentials to our club. WHere as you guys talk it up AND actually think its a good thing to score some bloke who coach a second rate club in a second rate comp and still coulnt take them to the finals despite having the backing of a pretty big sport and leisure facility at the university.
Yeah Id be cheering that and then bagging a club that goes out and gets a guy whos played in an AFL grand final and learnt from the likes of Rocket Eade and Dennis Pagan.
Yeah.

Seems everyone in the higher levels just bag the lower grades, i seem to remember the league saying that they hope to keep increasing the level of football across all grades. Does anyone up there think that without lower grades the level can get better. there is so much dribble written on this site it amazes me we even have football played here at all. Lets just get on with it.Comment

- RWO Forum Rules (PLEASE READ FIRST)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your posts may be deleted, without warning or notification at moderator discretion, for breach of any of the RWO rules set out below. If you have any questions or concerns about post/thread removal, please feel free to PM a moderator or Email us at [email protected]
Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months. Multiple infractions, depending on the number of points a member accumulates, WILL result in temporary bans from the site and CAN result in a permanent ban. Please note that some Infractions have an expiry date of "Never" and WILL result in the RWO member being banned from the site immediately.
1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.
4) Inappropriate Language / Excessive swearing
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion. Consider all members when posting; what you think is funny, not all members will feel the same way.
5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous. Moderators and Administrators are not interested in the chance of legal action regardless of how small - if deemed that there is ANY threat to RWO potentially, we will come down hard on it.
b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification
It is not acceptable for members to engage in racial and/or sexual discrimination / villification. It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.

Selling or offering of drugs, drug references, other than those openly discussed and identified in the press, will also be removed immediately. Breaches of this rule carry the highest infraction points and may result in permanent bans on a first offence.
10) Off-topic Posts
Some members prefer to just read Swans or footy related posts. This is, after all, a SSFC website. Ensure you post threads in the appropriate forum, or they will be moved. While threads will sometimes move away from the original topic, do not deliberately drag a thread away from its original subject.
11) Attachments
Attachments within the size limit prescribed are permitted.
