Sounds like you made a mess in their toilets as well. So.... many.... volunteers.... ahhhh

There's clearly a difference between the suburban community based clubs and the university clubs - the demographics are different. Uni clubs have a more transient base, whereas your Pennos and East Coasts have a local community, links to junior clubs and so on. Full credit to them - I am envious of the way those clubs are supported and their volunteer ranks but realistically that's not going to happen for us any time soon sadly!
[QUOTE=Clubman;737277][QUOTE=saviour01;737266]I get the sentiment, but i dont think ive seen a water runner all year in div 4 and even in seniors there is only 1 or 2 from every club.
you dont get how hard it is to organise volunteers in the current climate. Im talking about all sports/organisations im affiliated with.
That was my point in another post - Why St George don't attract supporters.
I was at the St George V ECE on Sunday and ECE had no trouble with having Runners, Physio's, Umpire Escorts and plenty of help at the BBQ. * all in correct attire.
Even had a lady volunteer cleaning the mess you made in the toilet
ECE has a big following - family, friends and plenty from there junior clubs. always a good day at their ground but a long drive home.
So my point is if you have good support you have volunteers - Professional clubs make a more attractive competition. Not the rubbish I as a football fan has to watch each week.

That said, congrats to ece for having water runners, finding physios to volunteer (gotta reduce that 400k somehow), an umpire escort and people on a bbq. I have never seen those things anywhere else in Sydney footy. In fact, I dont think olds park even has a bbq.Comment

Hey Clubman, it was naturally a big day for ECE last Sunday - the end of the season for ALL of them except their 19's - they should have had everyone from the district there to celebrate their "success" this season!
On the other hand, it was a long way to go on a Sunday, for the St George faithful for a couple of "dead rubbers".
... by the way, Dragons have all teams qualified for finals, so plenty of football for them and their supporters yet to come this season.
Hope the ECE boys enjoyed Mad Monday!

Strewth.....that's a bit rich. Haven't the Eagles won 4 flags in the last 8 years? I had to google when St George last won a flag in the top grade.Hey Clubman, it was naturally a big day for ECE last Sunday - the end of the season for ALL of them except their 19's - they should have had everyone from the district there to celebrate their "success" this season!

Made NO comment about the footy or the rubbish St George tried to dish up on the day. Comments only on how they present them selves off the field.Hey Clubman, it was naturally a big day for ECE last Sunday - the end of the season for ALL of them except their 19's - they should have had everyone from the district there to celebrate their "success" this season!

ECE on the day was a well run footy club. Yes they missed out on finals in Prems this year but still the power club on and off the field.
Good luck to St George in finals but I don't see them going farComment

Surely a power club on the field would make finals in any of their senior teams? 6th, 6th and a 9th. Power club! Yes, it's true I applied for the coaching gig. Have a plan to take them to the finals, it involves not wearing team uniforms.

Not sure how ECE are the "power club" on the field? ... can't field a Div 1 side, and take away their "contracted" players since returning from the NEAFL they would barely have won a game in any grade.
Round 1 at Olds was just as well run and attended by St George, and just as poorly by ECE supporters ... not really sure what your point is, or what "rubbish" you are alluding to?
Anyway, I agree, the Dragons will need all of the luck they can get.Comment

Well this thread has officially bottomed out.
Good luck to all teams playing finals. Best 4 weeks of the year.Comment
