B Grade R6

@Thebigdog

Evening gents- it has been brought to our attention that we have been copping a bit of flack on these threads.

We are not going to come on here and defend our players in regards to the two incidents mentioned in a public forum. Both incidents were taken care of by the PFL and the BAFC and we fully accept the decisions handed out.

What we will say is that like all incidents in footy there is often contexts involved, within the game, within the players personal life and more importantly how a person or club deals with incidents in a private environment.

We do not feel the need to answer to any of you who hide behind an alias on a public forum but if you would like to give our league coach a call, explain who you are and then find out our processes and how he and the club dealt with each issue then feel free to do so on 0401 994 523.

Do we condone what happened absolutely not.
Were they 1 off incidences? Absolutely.
Do they reflect us as a club? Absolutely not but that is irrelevant to the blokes or girls on here who like to have there one off comments to bring a club down- as always is the case on a public forum.

It is pretty interesting to read through the threads and notice people can’t give reviews of games but can clearly detail incidents within them as if they were there.

Since our league coach has been at the helm we have moved up from C2 and up until this year have not been to the tribunal.

Over this 4 years prior to 2020 no senior player has been suspended in the league side, with the round 2 suspension the first one given.

In the reserves we have had one player given a 2 week suspension in that 5 years before Saturday.

No player in our thirds has been suspended.

In the colts a few yellow cards but again only 1 suspension.

To say there is a culture problem at our club is a big kick in the teeth to all involved within the four walls of our club.

All football clubs have people involved who stuff up from time to time- unfortunately some clubs are crucified for this and others are not.

We will continue to put our best foot forward for our football club and support any player who walks through our doors- irrespective of their race, gender, home life, looks, socio economic status or decisions they make.

Will we throw people out that don’t conform to the norms? No
Will we try to educate players and give people chances? ABSOLUTELY.

That is the best thing about community football it is a place where every body should feel welcomed and can learn, we only hope that other clubs can offer that to their players too

We have enjoyed the challenge of the step up to B grade football and have learnt a lot from every week this year as well as shown that we are capable to match it with most clubs. We look forward to seeing what the next few weeks bring.

Thanks for your time

Well written Big Dog

Regarding relegation, I’m not 100% but have heard from a few sources that there will be no relegation in B grade, 1 team up to A grade (GF winner) and 1 team down to B grade ( Last on ladder), then 1 C1 team (GF winner) up to make season 2021 a 10 team competition.

Wow that is a professional response Big Dog.
Hats off to you/the club. I wonder if anyone has rang the coach or knows who the coach is.

Round 7 upon us!
Realistically looking at ladder Whitfords basso Wanneroo and Swan Ath are all good chances of making finals
5 wins to seal it
Solid comp

Swan Ath could win theirlast 3 and sneak in- don’t write em off
Wanneroo May have shot themselves in the foot last weekend

Yes nice work on the response Basso. I think everyone just wanted a voice from the club and you’ve given that. Let’s hope for a clean rest of the season for all clubs

[premiership_hangover]

I must say in my years of dealing with Basso, I have always found them as a good bunch of guys.

They play hard on and off the field, but as has been pointed out they play fair.

One incident doesn’t always reflect a situation.

I for one hope they get a good run in B grade

[BAAFLE]

Unfortunately I believe the same thing happened in their Ressies on the weekend so it’s doesn’t appear to be an isolated incident!
Maybe someone from Whitfords can elaborate on what happened?
Big Dog I appreciate you sticking up for your club but my experience of over 40yrs in football tells me that people who King hit others have severe issues that don’t just disappear.
If you want to improve your clubs name get rid of the garbage that is causing the issues or at least impose harsher club sanctions than the pitiful 4 weeks imposed by the PFL!

[Freofortheflag]

BAAFLE- I’m assuming you have rang the coach and find out what the club has sanctioned?

If so what was the response?

If not move on. The forum is here to talk footy- give us a game review or something please

Gday TheBigDog, Mate well written and your Club’s strong onfield record over the last 5 years speaks for itself. Well done also in winning the C1 and C2 Premierships over the last few years and being very competitive in B Grade this year. In my opinion you will play Finals this year. Good stuff and again well done to your Club.
