Ummmm it's great to still have involved!! Have you ever thought that maybe those clubs should approach him???!!!

Why would he go out and help those clubs who bitched and moaned about him?

Jack, yes he is a Sturt man, but can you name the two other clubs he has coached at in recent memory?

One of them was only a couple of years ago and he had a very successful Classics.

^^^ Eastern - I think won Classics???
Norwood - I think won state champs???

Sturt, another coup in snapping the man straight up.

When will these other clubs stop with the conspiracy theories develop what they have and recognise opportunities to get in new people when they arise?

Jack judiging by ur comments above i think uve been ridiing too many unicorns, listening to pink floyd ans enjoying puff; the magic dragon a little to heartily lol

For your information concerned he has also done indies with players from other clubs because the players parents have ASKED HIM TO. I don't even think it was paid. Yes as a club we offer individuals in 5 week blocks and now he is RETIRED we have him come out. Clubs are struggling for a reason they are too stupid or proud to ask for help. Please name one instance when anyone has asked him for help and been knocked back.

Perhaps be concerned about why so called struggling clubs aren't working to get help.

Sort of blows a hole in your we work just as hard bullshit excuses doesn't it.

My old man is retired and what he does with his time is his business.

In conclusion "concerned" you must be really concerned as you have done nothing but spread falsehoods on the internet you anonymous troll.

sincerely

Who cares concerned really, Neil can go back to Sturt most of the association are happy the Neil assisting in SASI/TPI Quasi Neil feeds Sturt another clubs better players is over, he wasn't out to help the association then and isn't about to now.

Anon, you do know that more kids in SASI moved FROM sturt than from any other club over the term of Neil's position as head coach.

So your lie based on you opinion is just wrong.

We have had more kids move from our club to Sturt than vice versa to be coached by the SASI recruiters sorry I meant coaches. Neil overrides our clubs nominations for TI camp. Surely our coaches know who us best and not someone who never sees them play.

Sorry, you are wrong. Neil only sent out nominations as per places on the table. Not his fault that your club thought their 8th placed team deserved 6 spot when there isn't enough room for them all.

Using the immortal words of Allen Iverson: "We talkin bout practice man".

#080, actually that's incorrect, but it's a nice little story. Just because somebody told you that doesn't make it true.

Actually there is a spread sheet showing it as a fact.

Actually there is a spread sheet showing it as a fact.

Any chance of emailing that to [email protected]? I will independently verify that claim.

No we nominated who we thought were the best based on our allotted quota but he overrode those nominations

Not a chance of that happening. Nominations go the BSA.

^Lol Div 3 standard Div 1 team

080/100/101 (I assume you are the same person)

Please stop with your little story. You are embarrassing yourself.

I am sorry. But it did happen. NG change the club's nomination for one person. Seems it matters who you know!!

Maybe ur club used that as an excuse for ur kid to not get invited.

Whatever you think anon. We nominated our people and didn't nominate a certain other who NG over ride what the club wanted.

Who has applied or potential. Names like Buckel, Kinsman, Butler and a few others from interstate.

If it has happened ONCE - I would've thought that said more about the incompetence of that club/nominators than about the SASI program...

You can't be serious. I would suggest if he spent more time North of green hill rd he would have a better idea of what was happening!!

His office and all trainings were North of Greenhill Road.

For ages we heard how the sasi program was bad, and how Neil had to go.
Now people are bitching that he isn't coaching at their club.

Is it just me or does this sound like people need lives???

Pity he didnt venture out of his office then!

Well except for the 8 training sessions and state trainings he attended. Not to mention the National Championship or development tournaments.

Ok I will buy into this. I have been involved for over a decade and I cannot remember once when he visited our club to watch either trainings or games.

Not sure what happened with the TI camp nomination but surely the club sees a player more often and is in the best position to assess players all round talents be it athleticism, skills, temperament and attitude.

Good point but I wonder if a person in that role needs to be proactive or reactive.

Pretty hard to get much done if you have to proactive. I think club's coaching directors (if they even have one) need to do their jobs. If not, they will continue to get the same results.

Neil was happy to visit clubs if asked. I remember him visiting my club's training one Sunday morning and giving the coaches feedback.

I think what is being said is that the coaching director/coach did their job and he undermined their position by changing a nomination. You can't have it both ways

good to see Neil is doing what he wants in retirement and he wont be one bit concerned about the negative comments from f/knuckels on this site
