Damien McCormack has apparently also signed with Glenelg, contrary to the VFL signings report that has him signed with Frankston.

Yep, I heard that too.
yes damien has signed a 2 year contract & started training last monday night (7/1/2008)
& will totally relocate in the next week or so, what is he like ? as to be honest i'd never ever heard of him
The problem for Glenelg is that Frankston currently hold him as a contracted player.
They probably shouldnt get too far ahead of themselves.
Interesting. Although if he moves over lock, stock and barrel you'd think they'd end up cutting their losses and accepting he won't play for them. Might have to pay a transfer fee though.
Hmm, don't think they had though of that. :roll:
I assume the emoticon is for Glenelg, not me?
i don't know about frankston etc but i can guarentee you he has signed with glenelg for 2 years & the club is organising employment for him through our major sponsor or he could go to work at coke with todd grima :wink:
From what I hear, Frankston organised the same thing.
The kid has behaved rather strangely. Apparently, he signs a contract, then 2 days later says he was going to Adelaide on the weekend to have a chat. A very strange set of circumstances.
In any event, they hold the first contract. This one isn't over by a long shot.
Time for a bit of VFL v SANFL action !!
just forget it is my side for a sec, i'd say let him play where he wants to because if he doesn't want to be at glenelg or doesn't want to be at frankston he'd be no good if he's at either club & didn't want to be there
to be honest i have never heard of him, i believe we've 'got' him as a wingman/half forward to replace one of our legends benny moore
This is a recurring problem in the VFL, unfortunately.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I think we've had at least half a dozen such instances in the past three years.
I hope Frankston stand firm on this, more as a message to other youngsters that a contract is a contract and you need to think long and hard before signing it.
The problem is that teenagers now in all aspects of life accept something but jump at a better offer that comes later. The types who RSVP to one party, then ditch that in favour of a 'better' one they get invited to later. In my book thats wrong, you say you're doing something so you stick to it. And Im only a relatively young bloke myself (and sounding like a grandpa here) but young people now arent being taught basic manners. Footy clubs and contracts are much the same - don't accept until you're 100% sure you can commit.
Problem then is footy clubs will have no players signed up before March, as they all hold off until the last minute to see if they get a better offer!
