South Adelaide Panthers

[football fan]

Can any1 tell me what is going on at Sth Adel panthers? the club seems to be held together by a thread.
Romour has it that a new senior coach has been appointed for 2008 with no notification or explanation given to his predecessor.
Rumour has it that the committee are telling coaches they must include certain players in their squads irrespective of skill and ability.
Rumour has it that the junior coaches are not to get paid for next season, this is risky business. The club will end up with second rate coaches teaching kids bad habits. I thought the junior squads were the future of the club.
Player fees up by over $100 in some cases from last year, with nothing extra being offered in their kits.
The future doesn't look bright down south. :?

Apparently is good for the other local clubs, I heard Seaford has picked up an extra two teams in three age groups who have trialled so far, where South Adelaide has dropped at least one.

Seaford's costs are about half of South Adelaide too.

Junior Coaches shouldn't have to get paid so why is it risky? Are you suggesting that Coaches who don't get paid are second rate? Careful you don't open a can of worms with that sort of crap comment.

Payment for coaches, if that is the incentive a coach needs then someone get me a rifle.

Read Brian Cloughs autobiography, it is about the PASSION FOR THE GAME.


unless the 'bung' is big enough


As for the Panthers, give them a chance, people in glass houses should not throw stones

Wait a year and then see what comes of it, sure if you are right then look back and say "told you so" if you are wrong then no ice cream for you on your humble pie.

south adelaide are falling apart

had players and coaches leave during the season and the exodus will continue

to much back stabbing between the board members.

[Gers]

this is the official panthers outcome for 2008. Yes we have appointed a nw coach. Yes we have appointed other coaches at junior level. we will go from strength to strength so BRING IT ON.

[Gers]

P.S. They are not rumors. We will continue to develop kids to play senior football.

Good on yer,

Do you think seniors change clubs just 'cause they "like the coach?"

Barney.....I would think it's very much a case of Seniors changing clubs because they like the coach.....Michael Petrillo is a perfect example of a coach that attracts players that want to play under him.

Petrillo promises players a look in at Adelaide United thats why they follow him like sheep, huge conflict of interest. Sad how one day he committed to stay at Galaxy telling the President then the next was lured by the almighty $$$$$.
As for the Panthers, it's been all downhill since Llye left & unfortunately for them it'll continue. Just look at the quality of their teams compared to 4 years ago. They use to be the best Junior club in the deep South.
