What's going on at Frankston

Dain Swetalla to Spectres is a great signing.

Law suit continuing. DOC calling other clubs about not recruiting former club captains. Refused to sign a clearance after cutting a 15 year player. DOC on more funded US trips than any politician ever. But the new stadium is about to be built, so the Jolly good times to continue!

Frankston SEABL Club of the Year 2016!!
Love the media release on their website, with a statement saying what a great year it was, with the men's team doubling their wins from 2015 - way to go - used 4 imports and won 6 games!!
Wonder why there is no celebration on the website for Bowen and Standish making the All Star Team?

Sandy always get off lightly. Both men`s and womens under perform over long period of time now.

Women`s coach must have compromising photos of people on the baord or something. Keeps getting a gig despite pathetic results and inability to recruit anyone of quality.

I heard there was a Frankston Monoply game, but I reckon I would rather love to play a SEABL one.

Is Batish finally being run out of town?

Sandy will be run a lot better next season. Seabl were a disaster.

Sandringham is a disaster

The Board at FDBA need to realise that certain staff members are only there to "feather their own nests". No point having more courts when everyone is leaving. Maybe netball could use them?

Having no D League/YCM Men is completely ridiculous. There's no pathway that U20 or U18 players can see for themselves as they move through the club, so of course they'll look elsewhere. Plenty of options around...

Sandringham is also struggling with coach and player retention, and results.
I know that it is heresy to suggest, but maybe some of these clubs are just too small and not good enough to continue in SEABL- it does take up a lot of a club's resources.

What's the Lawsuit about? First I have heard of that happening, I had heard things were going well down there and they had turned the corner.

I'm no expert and don't know what the club wants to do but, If they are not having a YL team wouldn't they be better to turn around and have a Big V SCM team instead of SEABL so the gap is not as big?

Given your grasp of the English language I'm guessing you are really from Frankston.

What's the lawsuit about?

Wow! Some pretty serious stuff.

I didn't agree with getting rid of the D League teams - IMO that was a HUGE mistake as it removed a pathway.

Very few at the age of 17 are capable of making valuable contributions at the SEABL level. That means these kids sit in the bench and either don't get on or only 1 or 2 minutes every week. How does that develop them in game play?

Sadly people in charge that a new stadium will fix everything.
Can have the best stadium in the world but if people running place keep their act up it won't change the kind of results they produce.

From The Age:

Gary Ablett Jr will today announce he is joining the Gold Coast Suns on a five-year deal worth close to $10 million.

The Geelong champion will line up with his new club at Melbourne's Crown Complex at 12.30pm to make the announcement.

The Cats will be told of Ablett's momentous decision this morning with manager Liam Pickering expected to meet Geelong Chief executive Brian Cook to personally break the news.
