Coach interview # 5

[Cruiseon]

Following in the the footsteps of some very interesting coaches from all over the country the next subject in Cruize News is the steady, friendly and often somewhat understated Korza. Make yourself comfortable, sit back and spend 5 minutes in the company of one of our premium fellow coaches.

So Korza, thanks for coming aboard for the 5th edition of FF coaches interview. We heard from young Luigi in the last edition but as one of the more mature members on the forum when did you start using FF and these days where abouts on the site do you spend most of your time?

Thanks Cruise for the opportunity to participate in this interview. I first registered to FanFooty a couple of seasons back after finding it looking for player stats. I was like a kid in a candy store. Initially i use to scour across all the boards and read up on as many threads as i could. These days i spend most of my time on the coach boards. 

Like myself you have young children and I was wondering what your thoughts were on some incidents on FF in recent weeks where people have been forced to either leave the site or report trolls where identified? What advice would you give to younger or newer users in FF?

Like i said earlier the younger and new users, will feel the same way i was  "in candy store". My advice would be to earn your respect and treat people like the way you would want to be treated. Be humble stay premium. As for the incidents particularly those that involved personal threats, i find it disappointing that these sort of things occur, not only on this site but others to.

I understand your FF name 'Korza' is the nickname you use with your son whom I presume you have passed the St.Kilda genes onto. I may be mistaken but from your regular contributions I don't see you as a fanatical St.Kilda supporter. How would you describe your level of attachment to St.Kilda, have you spread it to your children and what is the origin of you actually supporting St.Kilda?

Ahhh aint you clever, kudos to you Cruise for doing some research, i kept this quite till now, but i am actually a Carlton fan, it is my 13 yr old son, who is the Saint fan, it was him who put on the emblem. Going back about 7 or 8 yrs ago the Saints had won thier first 10 games in a row, so in grade 1 every kid in his class wanted to barrack for StKilda grrr. I remember as a kid I was asked by a kid at school who i barracked for, not knowing to much about football at the time, i had asked the same kid who he barracked for and it was Carlton, so the mighty blues it became. So happy now he did not say Fitzroy or South Melbourne.

And if we presume Plugger is just about everyone's favourite footballer, who else have been your three all time favourite footballers from Carlton and from other clubs?

To be fair i am so lucky to love this game of aussie rules, thier have been many great players and the above list is just 3 of many i would go to pay and watch Carlton players or not.

If you had to pay money to see these 4 players in which order would you put them.Peter Matera, Peter Daicos, Peter Bosustow and Peter Everett.

Easy i have watched all these players live
1ST The Buzz my childhood hero
2nd Peter Daicos hated him no way am i paying to watch him kill me
3rd Peter Matera great player but the coin stays in my pocket
4th Peter Everett and no i would not pay to watch him
Damn just realised they are all named Peter.


Korza you were pretty open recently on FF when you indicated that you had unfortunately become unemployed. There was some really positive support for you from the coaching community and I wanted to know how that felt and how you are travelling?

I truly did appreciate the thoughts and comments that were posted, particularly from those who had left PMs asking i forward of them my resume. Currently i have been offered a casual position from a friend of mine who runs a small freight business. Hopefully this will lead me to gain experience and enhance my chances of a more secure position. Once again thanks to all as this question is on a personal note.

You are having an impressive year in the Elxam leagues in both SC and DT. Have you developed any traditional rivals yet and who would you like to catch up with if there was an end of season trip?

I only have 1 rival at the moment, and that is my next eliminator opponent, down to the last 512. As for the Exlam, a great competition and extremely well run by Ossie, hopefully i get another invite for next year. The end of season would be a blast if we had one, there would be many people i would like to catch up with but Hello is the one who most intrigues me. Shy of his 18th, i still can not fathom how humble he is, still not convinced he is who he says he is.

Let me set up a scenario for you. You are walking past the old stand at Princess Park before it was pulled down, thinking of days gone by when a scruffy old lady with a glint her eye approaches you and says, "Sonny, don't ask why but I've got three wises for you. Anything you ask for that doesn't involve wealth, money or gold is yours".  What would you say?

Knowing the truth,did the Dingo really kill Azaria or was it Lindy ?
For my family and friends to live a happy and healthy life.
To sit next to Juddy at the brownlow.

Thanks for your time Korza and all the best.
