Can't disagree at all Echuca Boy. Ky and Echuca should be a cracker though. Underlights at ky on sat night.

[ringo1]

Ky would be expected to beat echuca-if they don't 0-2 does'nt bode well for a tilt at the finals. It should be a great game

[head67]

You gota get up with the times bud. The days of getting you own back is long gone. Seems now days you cant get away with a bit of payback so something else is needed.
Send em off I say. You dont want the football oval going back to a hunting ground for thugs.
I agree with you about the king hits and the non ball playing cowards. But some umps get it very wrong.

Eurora look good.

Jansz kicked a dozen and Grainger 6 apparently.

Could they be a decent threat to the Lions

Hey guys, since i'm no longer in the country i have to live my GV footy experience through Bigfooty. I got the mail that Ky had a good win on saturday night and was just wondering if any of you could help me out with the details of the game. It's great to see the boys get a win on the board early, hopefully more are to come.

[undercover cat]

went and watched mooroopna v swans today, gee mooroopna look like they will take a bit of stopping very very fast gelled very well as a team.
any one else catch a glimpse of the swans and cats

Ky won by about 4 goals according to the website! However I don't think they will play finals-will win 8-10 games

Good stuff, still 8-10 games more than we have won over the last few years, and hopefully the group will stay together for a few years and the club builds on what they already have, time will tell. cheers

[Johnny Tapp]

Any info on the Rochy Seymour game over the weekend. Looks like it was close to 3/4 time but the Lions kicked away in the last.

Best players and would Bowen have made a big difference for Rochy? Bit closer than I thought, so have rochy improved or seymour lost a bit (or just a good game?)

[B.O.G.]

I'll give it a go.

Good hard fought win by Ky, up by two goals at 3qr time, then running over the top, adding another two late in the game. Echuca had their opps, missing two, by not scoring a goal in the last.

Paul Newman was simply to good up forward for Ky, both at ground level and as a marking option

Bulldogs minced by Pies
Teo Pellizzeri
Euroa made a 36-goal statement to get its Goulburn Valley Football League season back on track in a 190-point win against Tatura on Saturday.
Mark Jansz kicked 13 goals to lead the rout as the Pies led at every change to win, 36.13 (229) to 6.3 (39).
After losing to Rochester in round one the Euroa players took it upon themselves to show David Putamorsi a four-quarter performance against the Bulldogs with Seymour waiting in the wings next week.
With the benchmark game ahead of his side, Putamorsi said it was good his side had found both momentum and morale out of the Tatura game.
``After last week the players wanted to clean up their disposal and really stick to the team structure,'' Putamorsi said.
``Tatura were committed to man on man and didn't flood.
``They left the game open enough for us to keep running and keep attacking and it meant our boys were able to stick to the game plan.''
Euroa kicked 10 goals in each of the first three quarters with Scott Grainger booting six, four to Rowan Bonson and three to both Hayden Lamaro and Relton Roberts.
``We stuck with the forward structure to the four quarters and didn't make too many changes,'' Putamorsi said.
``Travis Burls would have got a lot of confidence out of this game on the half-back line.
``He's come through the ranks here and this season he's one of the boys that has to make sure he's a senior player and not a reserve for the full year.
``We're going to see where we're at against Seymour next week.''


Bombers fight back
Gus Underwood
Kyabram has won its historic first game under lights _ and savoured only its third win in two seasons _ with a committed second half comeback against Echuca at Kyabram on Saturday night.
A huge crowd watched the home side fight back after five unanswered Echuca goals in the second quarter and start of the third quarter, to run out winners by 26 points in a character-filled performance.
Key forward Paul Newman, on-baller Chris Atkins and the little-known Ben Gentle turned Kyabram's fortunes around after Echuca took control of the game in the second term to take a slender half-time lead.
Mobile big man Guy Campbell and acting coach Adrian Dohnt, Dylan Butler, Casey Nance, Liam Guinan, Travis Mills and defenders Brendan Prendergast and Leigh Crossman took control during this period as Echuca threatened to run all over the home side which had made the early pace in the game.
But Newman produced his aerial magic to take control in attack along with Gentle, who had been moved into attack from defence, while Atkins and Josh Pell began winning the ball at will.
In defence, skipper Josh Vick inspired his teammates with his disciplined play along with Brett Morgan and youngsters Brad Mangan, Mick Croxford and Justin Chambers providing the support needed to shut down the Echuca forward line after half-time.
Other younger players such as exciting thirds captain Brad Edwards and debutant Xavier Hilton also stepped up like mature players for the home side.
Along with Steve Thomson's successful tagging job on Morrison medallist Colin Durie, and ruckman Zane Coventry and David Newman's influence around the ground, Echuca's goal-scoring power dried up in the second half as Kyabram added six goals to the visitor's one to turn the game around.
The only non-local in Kyabram's team on Saturday night, full-forward Balraj Singh, finished with three goals; although not anywhere near peak form yet, he still needs one or two of the opposition's best players to mind him.
Echuca coach Stephen Orr was unable to attend the game due to illness, with Dohnt taking the job for the night and turning on an inspirational effort.
While new Kyabram coach David Williams was happy with his team's efforts, after the game he raised the sobering thought of his players switching their attention to this Saturday when the Bombers take on touted grand finalist Shepparton Swans at its home nest.


Mooroopna puts the writing on the wall
Ashleigh Williamson
Mooroopna has scored its biggest win in more than 12 months and stamped itself as a genuine premiership contender with a 46-point victory over Shepparton Swans.
Both sides produced a free-flowing first half in which the ball went from end to end, but without reward on the scoreboard as Mooroopna kicked five goals to three to lead by 14 points at the main break.
Kane Boyer kicked a spectacular running goal from about 45m out just inside the boundary, Craig Whelan ran into an open goal from a clever crumb, and Rob Osborne nailed a set shot as Mooroopna broke the match open in the third quarter with five goals to none.
Simon Russell, Steven Cox and Russell Dean ran the lines and linked up through the midfield, while the Swans continued to make skill errors inside 50m.
Northern Territory recruit Henry Labastioa had a set shot to bridge the margin to 35 points after the three-quarter-time siren, but pushed the kick wide and the Swans went into the final term 40 points down.
Swans captain Nathan Bell did his best to get his side back into the contest with an early goal in the last quarter, but Mooroopna kept responding and slotted four goals to three to take out the game, 13.12 (90) to 6.8 (44).
Osborne and Whelan finished with three goals apiece for the Cats, while Bell kicked three to be the Swans' multiple goal-kicker.
Mooroopna's defenders dropped numbers back into the hole smartly all afternoon and Glenn Dundovic and Lucas White were kept quiet as a result.
Nathan Tweddle picked up possessions at will across half-back and was the architect of many attacking plays.
Mat Hebbard and Lochlan Veale worked tirelessly in defence for the Swans, while Jarred Ilett won plenty of ball in the centre, but too often his kicks forward were chopped off by the likes of Tweddle, Michael Barca or Ash Hockey.
Brad Campbell's first two games as the Cats' coach couldn't have been better with two wins, while the Swans might not be the powerhouse most tipped them to be.


Symes' loss keenly felt
A groin injury to gun full-forward Ricky Symes has capped off a disappointing afternoon for Benalla after being beaten by a fleet-of-foot Shepparton by 20 points at Benalla Showgrounds on Saturday.
Symes suffered the injury inside the opening 10 minutes of the Goulburn Valley Football League game and didn't return, and is still unsure of the full extent of the damage.
``I'm going to get it checked out in Melbourne tomorrow night but it's disappointing because I'd been feeling good and wanting to find a bit of touch,'' Symes said.
``I hurt it my first contest and then I led and jumped in my next contest and felt it as I took off.
``I had a bit of work done on the bench ... but it was no good.''
Symes' absence left a gaping hole in Benalla's forward structure, while at the other end Ben Kelly was strong in the square for Shepparton but couldn't convert on the scoreboard.
Benalla cut a 14-point quarter-time deficit to five at the main break after a free-flowing second term saw it slot five goals to three.
Both sides went on all-out attack in the third quarter and produced one of the most entertaining half-hours of football this year as Benalla kicked 7.2 to 5.4 to grab a five-point lead at three-quarter-time.
It was going to come down to which side could run the other into the ground in the last quarter and it was the Bears who did so.
Brad Ridings kicked two superb running goals and Geremie Ganino slotted one from a free kick as the Bears finished over the top of Benalla with six goals to two to win, 17.17 (119) to 15.9 (99).
Marc Harrap was the dominant big man on the ground, constantly palming the ball off to Chris Cullinan and Nick Allan who ran riot through the middle and exploited Benalla's tired legs in the last term.
Matt Chapman was the most productive forward on the ground with four goals for the winners, while Mark Mackenzie kicked three for Benalla and was its best player


Lions make amends for lapse
Teo Pellizzeri
Stick to the game plan and get the reward was the resounding message out of Seymour's 37-point win away to Rochester in Goulburn Valley Football League at the weekend.
The defending premier gave the Tigers a sniff in the second quarter and trailed at half-time before a seven-goals-to-three final term closed out a 18.9 (117) to 12.8 (80) win.
Seymour now has two wins from two to start the season while Rochester slips to one win and one loss.
Saad Saad kicked five goals for Seymour and Brendan Liddell four while Sam Williams was Rochester's only multiple goalkicker with three.
Seymour coach Bernie Haberman said his side's weaknesses as Rochester took the lead were also its greatest strength as it powered away to victory.
Haberman said poor disposal and some unaccountable play were fixed by his side in the second half and with it came a performance at a different level.
``Rochester definitely came out with a different game style to what we'd seen in the past,'' Haberman said.
``They were happy to keep possession of the ball with short kicks and then use their pace to try and burst and catch us out.
``In the first half when we were a bit unaccountable that tactic was working and we had to close them down.''
Haberman insisted his players play tighter to their man in the second half and as a result stopped Rochester players getting loose to expose the Lions with speed.
Despite being in a waiting game to clear ruckman Josh Meiselbach from Collingullie-Ashmont-Kapooka, Haberman said he felt Seymour's rucks won the day.
``Shane (Schottner) and David (Tomkins) were a solid combination and they gave us good service,'' he said.
``When we played to our game plan we got the rewards.
``We kicked the goals quickly in the final quarter to open up a lead and with that we had control of the game.''
Scott Hann, Ben Deuscher and Ash Watson were Rochester's top names in the best.


Midfield pressure thwarts Demons
Teo Pellizzeri
Mansfield's relentless midfield piled on the goals and pulled away from Shepparton United in a scintillating second-half display at Deakin Reserve at the weekend.
The Eagles are now two wins from two in the Goulburn Valley Football League while Shepparton United has one win and one loss.
Mansfield captain Matt Storer and Cairns recruit Daniel Dai enjoyed time and space on the ball through the centre and half-forward line to punish United on the scoreboard with four and two goals respectively.
A running brigade of Shaun Monohan, James Herridge and Rick Saunders gave Mansfield too many links from defence to attack, with fast movement of the ball a hallmark of their play.
Monohan was particularly brilliant in the final quarter as he sent four penetrating kicks into the Mansfield forward 50 in as many minutes, two entries resulting in goals.
United led at quarter-time and at various stages through the second term but _ an early burst from Scott Riordan aside _ just couldn't find marking targets inside the attacking 50m arc.
In a game dominated by on-ballers it was Mansfield's Craig Flint who was the key big man on the ground, the former AFL listed player blanketing United spearhead Matt Forys and holding him to a solitary goal.
Joey Perkovic was United's best with a heap of possessions and run-with role that shut Mansfield's Fraser Stevenson out of the game.
But Mansfield rucks Bernard Jones and 20-year-old Callan Spykers were too tall a combination for Herb Barlow and Cameron Holdsworth and gave the Eagles the majority of hits to advantage.
Mansfield coach Christian Thomson said he was pleased his midfield's run had opened up the game.
``United threw everything at us,'' Thomson said.
``What I liked about Flint and Forys was it was two guys just having an old-fashioned one-on-one.
``Callan (Spykers) is raw and we all know that, but he's got a real thirst for the contest and hopefully we'll see him continue to grow as the year goes on.''

Euroa Milestone For Watto

Euroa co-captain Scott 'Watto' Watson is expected to break the Club's games record on Anzac Day next Friday.
Watson will pass Mick Peel's record of 292 games againsy GVFL rival Seymour.

Watson only took up football as a 21-year-old when he moved to Euroa, about 150km north-east of Melbourne.

Since then the 38-year-old has won a best & fairest, coached the Under 15 Vic Country team, umpired juniors and been a runner for the GVFL inter-league team.

"Making the 2005 grand final is a highlight, and I suppose it's a lowlight because we lost," Watson said.

"I've definitely got some great mates throughout the times I've played footy," Watson concluded.

Your right there doon. Seymour/Euroa games are always very entertaining games. I will make the journey up the hume this Friday to have a look and down a few cold cans.

May even make the 4 hr trip myself. Great effort by Watto. :thumbsu:

[Chance]

Anyone watch the Rochy/Seymour game? Looks like Rochy took it right up to the premiers. Maybe Bowen could have made a difference? Whats the injury status like for these two teams, did either team have many out?

Rochy played really well in the first half and then Seymour found another gear after half time. Bowen would've made a huge difference but I think Seymour would still have been too good. Not sure who Rochy would've had out apart from Bowen, I think Seymour may have a couple to come back though? Rochy will improve but not sure whether they will challenge the top few, still lack 3-4 players to be a serious contender.

[cellar dweller]

Eurora look good.

Jansz kicked a dozen and Grainger 6 apparently.

Could they be a decent threat to the Lions
Steady on Macca29. They have only beaten the worst team playing in the GV. But I guess we dont have to wait long to find out. This week playing Seymour on the bigest day outside the GF. Will be interesting to see if Euroa can stand up.

Watched the last half, Seymour just went up another gear in the last 1/4 and Rochy couldn't go with them.
Bowen would have made a big difference and Tank McPhee and Steve Rasmussen both were sidelined from 1/4 time onwards so not having McPhee and Bowen made it hard for Rochy. Someone from Seymour would have to tell you about their injuries.
New Rochy bloke Dusscher was great on Saad.

[cellar dweller]

Good to see Mooroopna has proved to be a real challenge for this years Premiership. I wouldnt write of the Mighty Swans yet though!!
No suprise to see Benalla and Tatura at the bottom but I think a few of you thought Echuca would be a contender this year. I cant see them coming back. Mansfield will more than likley drop off once they start playing the better sides.
Four in a row is looking good at the moment!!!!

The GVFL have decided in a bid to eradicate hit man tactics, to video the Shepp Swans games for the remainder of the 2008 season. Mooroopna made an official complaint and the league has acted swiftly. Serial offender Sutherland has been up to his old tricks. He will have the camera focused on his every move for the next few months. This comes as no surprise to me – but it is a bit bizarre that they will tape him for the rest of the season. The novelty will surely wear off after about 5-6 weeks you would think. :cool:

Are they not allowed to report him off a video filmed by someone else?

Yeah im not sure mate, but its probably the only way they can guarantee catching him.
Sutherland, unlike Bazza Hall, he picks on the smallest bloke out there.

Has always been a soft boof head sniper. Good to see a man of his size take cheap shots on kids. Could have been on of the greatest players to play in the GV but will be remembered as a thug!!

[giveitawash]

So what did sutherland actually do to a mooroopna player??? i saw the game and didnt see anything from the big fella?? If anything i think the cats had a few wannabee mad men trying to line up a few swans?? Mooroopna won the game so think they should just get on with it, thats unless one of the cats players solaruim tans or mad lookin tatts got smudged???? or maybe even those great lookin orange boots one of the players had on?? get over it pussy cats

I'd like to know what the incident is as none of the mooroopna football blokes i know are talking about it.

Also its good to see your bagging Sudsy on here coz i know none of you would have enough balls to do it anywhere else.

Where are you getting your info from that they are going to be video taping all the swans games. The GV surely wouldn't waste money they didn't have on that!

Watched the United Mansfield Game and the Mooroopna Swans game on the weekend. The United Mansfield game was a disgrace compared to the Mooroopna Swans game. Im am going to be very well surprised if Mansfield finish Top 4. Seymour Swans Mooroopna will dominate the season this year. The Mansfield boys better wake up to them selves if they wanna have a shot cos the standard of their game was pathetic. After watching the game Sunday to it puts Cats in front of Swans in my opinion aswell. Seymour still on top though.

Are you agreeing with next level tatboy that they will make the finals in kdl,although it will take them a couple of years to build a side to compete and be competitive in that league

[Tatsean]

Tatura has been one of the most successful sides in the GVFL in the past 15 years. Just because we are going through a rebuilding phase doesn't mean we should be in the KDL. When was the last time Shep Swans won a Senior GVFL flag? They showed on the weekend that they will once again be pretenders in 2008. A champion team working together like Mooroopna or Seymour will always beat a team of fly-in champions. How are those Darwin players going to be able to handle 15deg and rain this week let alone our winter? If Knaggsy's money runs out in a few years the Swans will not be able to buy 20 players and thus might have to consider to go to the KDL!

How many time have swans won the wooden spoon? I think you guys would win that stat as well.

I wouldn't be in a hurry to write off Tat in the GVFL. This season is going to be very lean, but if there is one club in the GVL that can turn things around quickly with recruiting its Tat. They won't cop being at the bottom for too long. The check book will be open in the next year or too.
Also, TatSean, Tat people should be the last to throw taunts at other clubs for buying in players. They have a pretty good track record of doing this themselves over the last 20 years. Danny Stevens, Greg DAx, The Gayfers, Tony Antrobus, Allan Thorpe all spring to mind and thats just the beginning. Tat have been very good at dishing the coin out over the years.

U r probably right....that's maybe why we got not much coin left?? Don't know the ins and outs of our financials. You missed a handy player in Paul Hawke who Tat recruited. When playing for Collingwood he polled in the top 10 in the 1989 brownlow medal with 14 votes.

[ECHUCABOY]

Richardson, he was a tosser!!

Kicked 7 in the first final against us in 2004, including the one to win them the game and continue on to play Mansfield in the GF. We should have won that game if it wasn't for the crazed Peter Bird......

When was the last time you kicked 7 in a final superstar big footy king?

Yes he was awesome one of the better players to come into the comp. The one thing Tat has done, is win premierships when they have spent up. You can't take that away from them.

Carnt believe the way some people on here right clubs of after round 3 , I still remember an article that appeared in the Shepp News back in 95 , it read ," From March Champions to April Fools " and did the lions cop it in the media and big footy after being beaten in round 1 against Euroa . Its only early and clubs are still finding there way , so I say sit back and see what unvails from here on end. :thumbsu:

You are a peanut.

Every club has had periods where they couldn't match it with the other teams in the past. Tatura has had more than it's fair share lately but that doesn't mean they should be playing in the KDFL. At the moment Tatura is finding it hard to recruit quality players because of their recent lack of success. The football nomads who choose to follow the coin over staying loyal to their club also choose to go to clubs who offer a chance of success.

If you were choosing between two clubs you had no loyalty to (who offer similar coin/employment opportunities) would you choose to go to a premiership chance or the likely wooden spooner? This wont last forever, the tide will turn over the next season or two and when it does you can bet Tat will be just as attractive as any other when it comes to enticing the mercenaries.

Also they are a small town club. They don't have the depth of other clubs to get by when times are tough.

Someone has to come last and for the last few years it has been Tat. Equally, only one team a year can win the flag, and Tat has had more than it fair share of those over the last 15 years.

[Tatsean]

Maybe Tat should stop playing Lawn Bowls and have a crack at playing Football.

I quite enjoy playing the odd game of lawn bowls when I am not playing footy or cricket...not as frustrating as golf...and lawn bowls is a very dangerous sport. More Aussies die each year playing lawn bowls than any other sport!:p

Absolutely no doubt about it. Carts is one of the fittest and most dedicated blokes you will see. He'll be able to slot straight back in and won't miss a beat.

[bradrowe#32]

Snuck down and had a look at the Rochy-Seymour game last Saturday. The ressies look pretty handy still. They were missing quite a few, but have added some veterans, so hopefully they can go one further.

The seniors was a pretty good game. Rochy kicked the first two and were looking good, then Seymour just went bang.

Rochy fought back in the second and third quarters, but Seymour took control in the final term.

Rochy did well considering Tank got injured early in the game, leaving a very small and young forward line. It would have been interesting if Bowen played. Deushcer played well on Saad, and O'Brien and the ruckman Givney played well.

Given that performance, they should be in finals contention. Bowen, Whitsed, Loughman, a fit McPhee, Nat O'Brien and Chris McCarty should strengthen the team.

Good luck to anyone playing Seymour. They are still the one to catch.

Euroa will beat them tomorrow!

What are everybodies tips for this weekend. I'm going with

Echuca over United - 20 points
Mansfield over Benalla - 18 points
Rochy over Shepp - 30 points
Seymour over Euroa - 12 points
Swans over Ky - 36 points
Moor over Tat - 100 + points.

[Rushy Tiger]

Euroa will beat them tomorrow!

Euroa won't go close. Seymour last week were still without Anderson and O'Keefe, with a couple of others I think. They are a slick unit. Saad will kick 10

Anderson is out for majority of the season due to his knee from what I hear. They are a slick unit and I believe they will win, but to say Euroa wont go close is an exaggeration. Euroa werent supposed to get near them last year, but pumped them by about 90pts at Kings Park. During my time at Euora, the majority of games have always been close and Saad has never really dominated Euroa. I think his highest bag against them is 5. Im tipping a close game but with the home team to just sneak home.

Have to agree with that 'boss, tell me ,is Ricki Shiner still having a kick up there?

Pretty sure they've been going well, Mooroopna had some new players do quite well on the weekend. Think Lee's been in the best a couple ot times and Dean and Whelan have kicked a couple of goals.

Any word on whether Tank, Steve Ras and Bowen to play this week? From all reports Steve Ras was going really well before being injured last week.

My word out of Rochy is that Tank will miss a month,
If true that'd be the longest stint on the sidelines in his near 400 game career.
The blessing in disguise though would be that he could then play his 400th on home soil.

Whitsed, Ponting and Bowen are in for McPhee, Rasmussen and another one will drop out.
