Chaffey has been there since I can remember, and to be brushed aside as it seems from reading above is a pretty low act from McKinnon. But I guess besides big Jim's family members out there, is there any good people he hasn't pushed away from that club.Chaffeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02214393209144272192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290088887405022587.post-57709711558088921952009-06-29T14:58:10.285+10:002009-06-29T14:58:10.285+10:00I hear a team manager/mascot has been lined up als...I hear a team manager/mascot has been lined up also in Grant 'Tassie' Brown.

A draw or loss could make the whole exercise futile and costly in more ways than one.<br /><br />There are at least 4 players who are missing out on playing seniors at Metro due to the scots. That's really developing the local game and the club - not.Southernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17511217095500684376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290088887405022587.post-88017786546002003872009-06-27T10:51:11.433+10:002009-06-27T10:51:11.433+10:00Clarence Young Gun :D

Without those four players lets be honest the club would not be in 1st position. Secondly some of the young players at Metro will never get a chance to player with players as good as these boys, admit at times the boys are a bit disruptive... But really what other president has tried to grab some talent from somewhere. Since I have arrived in Hobart all I hear is how good the standard used to be. Jimmy brings four guys in to a squad to try and get the club back to Prem and he is critised...

Pity it was while I was playing with him...lol) but who says the players should get a say in what decision is made by a club. That has been the problem for way too long at Metro... The players have made the decision. Those players that choose to leave becuase of the decision... Good, go... the club still exists and needs to move forward... I will miss playing with Chaffey and hope that he can put this behind him and help us achieve what WE set out to do at the start of the season...
