One of the more than famous sayings that oft gets wheeled out is "everything that's quondam, is new again" what PEGS FC have uncovered to starting time 2022 is that calling back a legend of the football game club to coach is paying early dividends.
Len Hannah has had 1 helluva journey in football, that started back in the VAFA in 1977 with De La Salle. Since then, he has taken on histrion development roles at Richmond, North Melbourne, Northern Knights, Calder Cannons, Glenroy and PEGS.
Hannah returned to the coaching reigns, at the school he has been a teacher of for the past 22 years and this week reflected on the VAFA's For the Honey of the Game podcast about how his priorities and approach to coaching has changed over the years "what you're non doing is you're non having to smoothen your ego. You're non at that place to prove to people how skillful you are"
While the start to the year is promising for PEGS, and Premierships are often the #1 goal in every club's mind, for Hannah it'southward non all about the wins and losses column "what you're there for is to make certain you get the best out of every person that's in your organisation, that's the thing that drives you lot" continued Hannah.
PEGS were a powerhouse of the VAFA before the Essendon District Football Club took a stranglehold on the northern suburbs with quondam boys from the school opting to play in local clubs, with the lure of money on the cease of the stick.
For Hannah, existence involved in the VAFA goes beyond whatsoever fiscal benefits a thespian tin receive playing footy elsewhere "The role we have as Amatuer clubs means that we've got to be and then much better at all the personal things, the interest in their courses how they're going in their lives, their wives, their girlfriends, the pregnancies of their partners, everything that happens in their lives we've got to accept such an investment and brand them feel like they're really really valued"
Heed to the total interview with Len Hannah on this weeks For the Love of the Game podcast:
As office of the Ask Grumpy Brian segment, nosotros asked him whether the VAFA should bring dorsum the Sunday match of the twenty-four hours at Elsternwick Park?
There'due south pressure level on all local councils to meliorate facilities. I know our ain basis (Waverley Oval, De La Salle) nosotros're desperate to get some lights, not only for training conditions only for playing conditions to spread the load on the ground throughout more days.
I certainly call back there's merit in playing on more days (Friday nighttime, Saturday twilight, Sunday afternoon), and clubs should exist able to manage it through, it doesn't traditionally always have to be a Saturday forenoon and afternoon.
I retrieve there'due south seemingly been a drop off in crowds across the competition this year, maybe people are going away and finding different things to do.
Maybe some Friday night may be of involvement or Sunday afternoon games?
I don't think it'due south a empty-headed thought to spread it around, there's no reason why nosotros can't.
Through the 1980's and 1990's, we had a Dominicus lucifer of the day at Elsternwick Park, nosotros'd get fixtured twice a year to play at Elsternwick and you actually quite enjoyed information technology.
We used to similar it because y'all played finals there, so y'all would get a chance to play on the ground.
The Sunday game was deemed to be the game of the round, it was good fun!
There'due south certainly a lot of fundraising at lunches that continue when clubs play at home these days, the footing at Elsternwick does have a terrific room, if y'all could make it an issue that was specific to a fundraising activity there I don't see why clubs couldn't do it.
