1. That's a coup, but you are dead right, will he have any cattle to use in 2010?
2. Great coach, alot of time for him, led the Lions well when they played in SFA.
3. Where was he before Sydney Uni?

Honest question, where does a club in the Sydney AFL get the money to recruit from interstate people like Barry Stoneham and Jason Saddington?

[tara]

Must also admit that im surpised with Saddo coming here as nothing more than a player given he wants to coach.

Also surprised that Stoneham is leaving a job he has been at for less than twelve months but would have been on good coin to move interstate (something he hasnt done before) and coach a struggling club. Also be interesting to see how a Geelong boy at heart goes living in Sydney.

The money involved here surely could have bought a senior team capable of winning something or would perhaps have been better off spent in developing youth.

3. Where was he before Sydney Uni?

Played under 18s at North Shore but didn't play a senior game. He's had 2 years at Sydney Uni.

Correct on the first part, but I think you'll find that he is in Adelaide trying his hand there over pre-season, and has not been offered a contract with ECE. Certainly not anything near that figure.

[Shotties]

He was in Perth training with the Demons last report.

Where do you blokes get your mail! I spoke to some Balmain boys the other day and the name Barry Stoneham certainly didn't come up

Surely the only scenario with this is for Stoneham to be coming up for other reasons (i.e. business interests clearly not involved with furthering his football career). The idea that the Tigers could afford to pay for his relocation and appoint him as a FT coach is ludicrous as the $100K would be wasted as he would be coaching a bunch of 15 year olds.

Like Saddo he is clearly deluded and been sold a pup of the highest order. 5 returning first graders (plus Saddo for sessions 1 - 4) will be an enormous reality check.....

Am seriously thinking of popping down to Mahoney Wednesday week with my boots to have a kick to kick with some AFL legends (well, one anyway as I always thought Saddo was pants)

This club should really enter itself into next year's Melbourne Comedt Festival....

I think you should go and watch them at the comedy festival and take some tips

MP the type of positions Stoneham has held 100K wouldnt come close to getting him to relocate.

My mail is the Dockers have recruited strongly from Victoria. There may also be an agreement with the Swans to be announced soon about surplus players going round with the Dockers.

Recruiting from outside Sydney AFL is smart. As more quality players join, they will start to attract Sydney AFL players.

It didnt help them the last time the recruited classly victorians

I find the alledged money being thrown around to coaches & players amazing. Fair enough if the club can afford it. But to offer the money that's been mentioned here, then hit every other non-payed player up for $400 'rego' each, is a scandal.
Sure it might be for insurance etc, but I'll always had a problem handing over money to a club knowing it's going to someone's pocket that will be training beside me.

I've got to say, coming from a club that doesn't pay players I find it difficult to fathom.

Unless everyone's getting a slice which would cost a small fortune, how do you keep people happy when as Ken says, his money is going into someone else's pocket.

Surely word must get around about who's getting what which can't be helpful.
