Yeah, my mistake sorry. It was the Elimination final.
Bit of strife in the sheds on the day and a prominent Goanna found himself with all his friends on the outer, much to the amusement of those of us in the stand.
Someone told me they thought the 2017 coaching gig had not yet been finalised, but I am wondering if someone has heard more.

That makes more sense!

I heard he was done coaching and playing, sitting on 13 weeks. Parra threw some more coin in his direction and now i understand he's only coacing for 2017 and not playing (13 weeks).

Rumour has it that Peter Physick has given up the throne at Baulko. For good. l believe that it might be true.
Tell you what....whatever you think of Baulko, you have to respect the work he has put in, and wish him well for his "retirement".
I'm tipping that he will follow in the footsteps of other retirees and become permanent timekeeper, like they have done at North Shore, Penno, Uni Bulldogs, Dragons, Wests.
Well done Peter Physick !

Yeah, but do coaching suspension weeks get added to playing suspension weeks ? Or can you run two tallies ? That was the question being asked in the grandstand at the Elimination Final.

Absolutely. Oscar deserves his retirement if that is what he is doing.

[Oscar]

No secret there guys, although just a quick clarification. I "gave up the throne" at Baulko 16 years ago. This time it is retiring from the East Coast Eagles Board .... ????

The 2016 Eagles Year Book has that story and all its usual good reports and stats.

You can read it all here at http://eastcoasteagles.com.au/wp-con...Book-Final.pdf

Oscar, don't retire. You should take over the league. Love them or hate them, ECE have been the bench mark of the Sydney AFL for years now. Experience and knowledge like that doesn't grow on trees.

[Norris Lurker]

The Eagles were in a pretty desperate situation a couple of years ago; but they look more secure now. Enjoy your "retirement" from the board Oscar - it's well-earned. I'm sure we'll still be seeing you round the traps on game day.....

[saviour01]

Enjoy retirement. Did have a read of the eagles year book. Found this interesting

"The Fighting Fund also continues to be well supported which is allowing the club to continue to meet its long term debt obligations. It is a major help to the club and it is still required each year to ensure we can self support the debt owed and run the club separately. All of which means that all income we generate outside of the FF is focused on the club and its operations. It is critical that we do not lose sight of the Fighting Fund as it is crucial to help us grow in all areas of the club"

The academy stuff looked good, especially with the trip away. However, is it just linked to one club? Does that run the risk of alienating your other junior clubs?

I see Manly have announced the appointment of Michael Ford
New Senior Coach - Manly Warringah Giants - SportsTG
as their Prems coach, don't know him but would expect him to bring some talent with him.

The academy is actually the Kellyville Rouse Hill Magpies Academy supported by ECE. I believe there are plans in place to expand this academy and invite players from other local junior clubs (Baulkho etc) to participate.

Already some great inclusions at some clubs. New Manly coach is a huge pick up for the league and also the signing of Nick Salter at Wests. He would be one of the best players that I saw playing in the NEAFL. An absolute jet.

That's a well decorated CV.

Apparently his back is buggered and he's not up to it anymore.
But I seem to recall that that was the story with Gus Seebeck as well, but he went pretty well anyway, didn't he ?
