Correction legend..you may be an ass but smart is not one of your attributes! The "B" referring to Andy is obviously for baseball player..something that you have yet to demonstrate is in your list of achievements.

Hello Eckersley43, i hate to disappoint you but you failed at Eye Spy!! You must not of read the clue!!! For someone neutral you are being a little vocal. I notice you ignored my question on what your interest in Forest Hill is......

I think everything I have said in this thread is valid Authentic.
Some people just couldn't handle the truths and turned it into a nuts sling but don't like the nuts thrown back at them and become very defensive. Or maybe it was just because I was right with the facts I stated from the start that annoyed President Andy and his little army of mates

I am hearing snippets of information regarding team movements and new teams for the coming season through the various grades, nothing firm or teams outed. Does anyone know fact or more details on these rumours? I am being told that they will be significant. Are there any rumours for player movements? After not play summer and only the forum and odd Aces game to fill the void I am keen for any rumours

Huber and Hussey to Knox but don't mention $$ or you'll be labelled a "bullsh1t artist" by other forum members because as we all know nobody gets paid in baseball here??

Don't think this one is correct unfortunately. My sources down at Gilbert tell me that all the cash they had to pay players is going to secure some hot shot from out of town (Rick Bevans or something like that..?)

Not sure what you're on about perfeckt? legend and I have had a couple of mild verbal exchanges..hardly a civil (or uncivil) war. P.S. If I was to book rooms..not sure as to your requirements as you appear to be genderless!! P.P.S. Apologies for the late reply Legend..my so called"interest" in Forest Hill is purely as a past opponent and an observer or official at some of their games in recent seasons . Now that I have shown you mine Legend it's time to show me yours. P.P.S. I didn't like FH as an opponent, but times change and I just happen to respect the guys you canned.

Well legend you are making yourself sound even smarter evrytime you pull a post out of your rear end. Being a forest hill player and a forest hill coach i understand how the club goes about there work, and the goal of playing in finals in 2014 is very realistic. As long as there is a great coaching staff there (not including myself) the club is only going to make steps forward. If you didnt notcie my name is Leigh Bertrand and my playing number is 46 so there you go. And who are you , I know i dont classify you as a "legend"

Is anyone else sick of seeing forest hill people come on to the forum every two weeks and drag this topic back up? Give it a rest and let it go. hopefully you guys can win B grade and silence everyone after you guys can win the A grade grandfinal in 2014.
Also Leigh can you confirm you are staying at the 'Hill" this year along with the shared MVP of 2011?

This old chestnut again.......
Thanks Leigh. How smart and accurate is this - Forest Hill are exercising a by-law this year that allows them to reject clearances and the player has no right to appeal? This meaning you are not able to put your clearance in despite talking to various A grade clubs over summer. I would of bought this up a few weeks ago but I didn't want to be seen as being "anti Forest Hill" by saying something else related to the subject that may cause a few twisted knickers at the eagles.
Quiet personally Leigh, I do not give one flying **** what you might think of my posts and it's actually hysterical how the so called leaders of Forest Hill have come on here to respond and look like clowns instead of shutting up like a professionally ran club would of and let their baseball do the talking!
Im sure I will cop a barrage from your mates Sanchez, Andywawra and Leggy but that's fine, I can deal with that

I am understood that is the case with the clearances as i will be putting one in. I dont know what tour talkin about with the shared mvp that i was not apart of, from the conversations i have had with all the players is that i am the only one putting in a clearance, It has nothing to do with forest hill as a club, if they were to stay in a grade i would be playing there, for me to reach the goals i want to reach i think it is neccasary for me to work with the coaching staff at the club i am trying to head to and face the pitching in a grade, no secrets here.
by several a grade clubs you mean one single club that would b correct but i have only spoken to one club. I thank you for your incorrect facts and your love for FHBC cheers mate

Turns out there has been a lot of fact to my posts doesn't it? Maybe I'm owed an apology by a few mis informed individuals that don't know what's happening at their own club.....yeah right
So why should you be the only guy cleared when others have goals and may also need to play at a higher level to achieve them?
Isnt that coaching available at FHBC, as Andywawra pointed out you only have to google these guys to see there astonishing baseball achievements? Maybe you agree with my laughing emotion from earlier on in the piece.

Good and valid reasons for wanting a clearance there Leigh but given that Forrest Hills has been relegated and your long history at the club, what is the likely hood that you will get cleared? Have you discussed with the club yet?

I get the feeling that we are close again to the old debate about 'Club Loyalty' Vs 'Player Development Opportunities' which is always a tough call and no doubt should be seen on a case by case basis.
But I remain of the view that clubs should not hold onto players unless that player 'owes' them money and/or service for one reason or another.

If a player does not want to be at a club (which they make clear by requesting to be cleared) then I can't see why a club would fight to keep him. Why would you want to keep a player who obviously doesn't want to be there?

Why would you want to keep a player who obviously doesn't want to be there? Don't want this to sound disrespectful THC but I think that's a pretty narrow minded view I think sometimes it can be about a clubs survival or chance to stay up in a division if they were to lose somebody??potentially anyway and every case is different. Perhaps communication has been average from one of the parties?? "Oh I'm going to get this at this club!!" "Well who said you couldn't get that here???" Etc etc??? my Snowy mate from the DBA and SA has explained to me a few times how the SA system work and it's an expensive thing to do!! So it's not really a thing thats done!! I've moved on before and looking back some were good choices and some were not! what is important to mention IMO is that each movement was so easy! Moves you make effect ppl also and you have to live with your decision, but honestly the way younger cats operate now days, they don't seem to worried about how things effect anyone else but themselves anyway!! I am not referring to any situation here or anybody, but make choices and live by them and with them!

Its always a tough call on clearing players especially when you are trying to build your club but, i think if a player has paid there dues to the club and owes no money then let them go end of the day its amateur sport, however if they are a mercenary then i totally support not clearing them.
Pretty sure FHBC are off the hook for any more posts on this thread as we are now in B Grade, i think our point is made.
On another note, do you guys think Knox could be the winter version of Melbourne (straight from B Grade to A Grade contenders)?

Lonewolf, The second person to know that i was applying for a clearance was chinny, i will not be getting cleared this year and as i found out the other night i will not be able to apply for an appeal. I will be playing at forest hill this year and have applied for a coaching role within the firsts. If i was apart of the board and someone wanted a clearance i no muself being theough it i would clear that person, on the other side i understand what the club is saying and why i didnt get cleared. So i thought to myself i may aswell give it my all and take the oppurtunity to learn and grow in other parts of the game.

Well said Leigh..hope you have a great season! P.S. legend..I am not "part' of FHBC..nor am I bitter about some imagined injustice as you seem to be. Yours posts might have some credibility if there was some attempt at fairness rather than blatant character assassination.
