hmmm so coaches get paid and players dont? I mean they will do the same work as players right? training twice a week and play on the weekend. Surely it wouldnt be a fulltime salary in amateur club land?

I'm not sure if you're baiting here.

Most of the 1st grade coaches I've known are at very least also reviewing game footage one night a week and having standalone meetings with other coaches to gameplan on other nights, along with full training session plans. On top of that a lot of the coaches are making themselves available all day on gameday even though the 1st grade players usually won't arrive at the grounds until lunchtime.

Todd Dammers was always at GPS games for the 9am kickoffs and happy to lend a hand.

Not to mention the countless times he would jump in as a touch judge at Souths for 4th and 5th grades. As well jumping into halftime huddles and offering his bits of advice when needed. He and many other 1st grade coaches don't have to be at the club for 5th grade kick offs yet they still turn up.

Looking at how Souths were building as a club during that period the club would be disappointed to be in the current position that it’s in.

I know listening to Dammers talk when he was at Souths, he was very much about the success of the entire club. Those days for Souths supporters seem a long way away.

I am nervous for them in all grades against the likes of Easts, Brothers & Wests… could be a bleak year for their lower grade depth.
