RUCK 'N' ROLL
By Richard Goodbody
November 15 2005
Shepparton News
Euroa will unleash a three-pronged ruck division next year after securing the services of former Northern Bullant Damon Clarke.
The 202 cm utility, who was recruited to the VFL club from the Northern Knights, spent the majority of his time at the Bullants playing out of the goalsquare, but will now be released into the middle of the ground under the tutelage of Euroa coach Dave Gleeson.
"He's been committed to us since the middle of the year," Gleeson said.
"It's not often that you get a six-footseven player to your club . . . so he should be good.
"We'll probably play him in the ruck and rotate him with Mark Jansz and Luke Hyatt."
While the Magpies were desperately unlucky to lose this year's Goulburn Valley Football League Grand Final - Seymour prevailed in thrilling fashion by 11 points - Gleeson believes his side is on track to finish one spot higher in 2006.
Not only have they signed Clarke, but they have also regained the services of dour defender Ashley Thompson, who this year coached Narrandera to a grand final spot in Riverina Football League.
The big news coming out of Memorial Oval, however, is the Magpies' bid for former Brisbane and Richmond defender Rory Hilton.
Hilton, who originally hails from Euroa, was delisted by the Tigers earlier this year and has been in constant negotiations with his junior club.
After being drafted by the Lions with the number three selection in the 1996 National Draft, Hilton was traded to the Tigers at the end of 1998, where he played 82 of his 91 AFL matches.
"Rory's our number one priority at the moment," Gleeson said.
"If we can get him then we're done (on a recruiting front).
"We're currently in negotiations and we're hopeful he'll sign."
While the Magpies will begin pre-season training next week, it is not all good news for the GVFL powerhouse.
Yesterday, Gleeson confirmed that gun on-baller Daniel Howse would not be returning in 2006.
"Daniel won't be back," he said.
"He's the only player that we know about at the moment.
"He's going back to Bundoora next year because of family reasons . . . but hopefully everyone else will be back."
Old news confirmed to the public.

I have heard Hilton has put $35k on his head, no doubt Euroa would not be paying him that much which is probably why the negotiations have been drawn out so long.

I see in today's papers that the Kangaroos are going to delist Michael Stevens so he can try and get picked up in the National Draft or Pre-season Draft.
Question for the GV blokes in the know.
If he doesn't get drafted what are the chances he'd join Anthony at Benalla?

Where did Jocks Netballers get to?? He'd no it all
Pretty sure well 90% that Stevo will go around again which is really good news for the Saints.
Had a chat with Michael Stevens at a night spot in Melbourne say a month ago (both of us where off chops) and from what he said, he wanted to either play League footy with the Kangaroos or not play footy at all (which i presume would be the VFL or SANFL type) so im sure if he was given the chop then he could very well make his way up to Benalla.
I wouldnt read to much into that however, as you know when uve had a few you talk a bit of dribble. Cracking blokes the Stevens.
cheers

Is Garry Stevens playing again next season? You'd have to say Tat would be a big chance to snare him if he doesnt get drafted, because of the amount of money thats rumoured they'll fork out next season...
You're an absolute fu#4kwit Tige! Can you point out Euroa's poor years both on the field and financially?
Making claims like that removes any credibility you ever had, and I used to read your posts with interest.
Euroa has played finals footy regularly in the last 9 or so years and have always had a strong following for a town their size.
Who has been making all these claims you refer to? Stick to the facts you redneck freak!
Haha just saw this one, very well written mate. I was just pushing a few buttons mate for a bit of a fun, nothing serious.
As far as credibility------ carefactor is very low mate, in fact i couldnt give a rats arse. I dont know you nor do i care to know you so your best to waste your time having a crack at someone who actually cares about what your saying.
Oh and the redneck call was full of class, enjoyed that one actually. It basically secured all my thoughts of you buddy.

Rumour has it Damon Clarke won't be as successful as some people may think. Was being pursued by a few clubs and a lot of them did not want him because its a known fact hes soft! Not in the same league as Jansz.
Hes done a preseason at Melbourne and the Bulldogs and all pre-season reports, same verdict - petrified.
Euroa departures - D Howse (hard as nails)
Euroa arrivals - D Clarke (soft as butter)
What cost Euroa the Grand Final? Soft blokes like Lamaro. Now they've just gone and recruited a six foot plus version of Lamaro.

Don't be supprised if McBrien is just trying to do some extra work before Euroa starts. But i did hear that King was thinking of a return to bundoora. Maybe this confirms the rumour?
All rumours that are untrue fbp. Bundoora were always going to speak to there ex players and crazy if they werent. Especially how well Hyatt and King have played in the gvfl.
As for McBrien training with Epping, well he cant even run yet due injuries sustained in the reserves prelim. Maybe they have there wires crossed as he was at the gym talking to a few players he used to play with, he was also drinking plenty of beers at euroa cup on sunday where he spent the whole weekend. So pretty sure he is staying put.

Calling blokes soft when you have a heading as NO HEART, that sounds like the pot calling the kettle black. Clarke doesnt have to be tough at the ball mate as long as he gets 1st use to the rovers he will be doing his job. There arent to many 208cm people who have the skills as him and Im sure he will beat most ruckman in the league through his ability to the read the play and endurance. You keep bagging lamaro about being soft. Considering he was off injured in the early part of the game with a torn calf and achillies.

I don't think it will matter, with bailey set to come back for the Lions, schottner is likely to come off the pine into the forward pocket. Thats about it. Schottner is getting on a bit.
Lets hope Bailey can steer clear of injuries and show the GV just how good he is. First game is set to be another cracker with Euroa's recruits.
Although, that is depending on all their availabilities, the Euroa boys might be in the slammer after robbing all of the convienient stores around preston to pay for all these blokes, esspecially if they snare the million dollar man Rory Hilton.
There must be a lot of new houses going up around the Euroa area, or were there recently floods or something? Xavier Thomson (major sponsor) must be selling a lot of carpet!!

Rattray to have a crack with Bombers
By Richard Goodbody
November 16 2005
Shepparton News
Star Seymour forward Patty Rattray is the first casualty of the Lions' premiership line-up.
The 22-year-old goalkicking ace yesterday confirmed he had signed with the Bendigo Bombers in the VFL next year after receiving a phone call from club coach Matthew Knights.
"They approached me after the grand final and said they were keen for me to play with them next year," Rattray said.
"I'm only 22 and thought that I should have a crack.
"I've never really thought about playing (in the VFL) before, but now seems like a good time to have a go."
After crossing from Avenel to Seymour at the start of the year Rattray quickly established himself as one of the Lions' premier forwards.
Playing primarily across half-forward, the agile big man booted 20 goals throughout the season including three against Euroa in the Lions' 11-point grand final victory.
"I'm not sure where I'll play at the moment," Rattray said.
"Matty (Knights) said I'll probably spend a bit of time at centre half-forward and a bit of time at full-forward, but he'll probably throw me around a little.
"I'm looking forward to it."
Holding up Rattray's preparations, however, is a recent knee injury he sustained while playing cricket at Avenel.
After diving for a ball in the outfield, Rattray tore the cartilage in his knee, which is still a few weeks away from healing.
"I've got to have a bit of physio done, but I should be right to train after Christmas," he said.
"Bendigo don't seem too fazed about it, but I'll start training as soon as I can."

Saying that, do you think he is going to be motivated to play GV footy? We all know how much he loves his disco buscuits and partying, unless billy's bakehouse turns into a raging Mooroopna night club I'd doubt he will move to Mooroopna to play. So then how do you think he's going to go travelling to Mooroopna on a weekly basis if he can't even get the motivation to go to a league clubs training?
He would be asking big bucks and I reckon he's going to train and be keen as cat s h i t...doubt it.
He obviously has career oppotunities else where other than footy if he's willing to give up chances like that with the Bulldogs.

Rowey, I've read your slander on the HDFL thread !! No news from me, shall post most on the HDFL site or start up the KDFL site which Doona should get into if Yea are welcomed in.
Anyway, re Rattray, he only 'came of age' when he left Avenel originally and came to Nagambie in 2003 where he really started playing some good footy and maturing. Spoke to him Saturday, his knee will cause him some huge problems, second time he's done it in quite inoccuous circumstances so it will be a problem. Cost us a finals berth in 2003 when he did it after kicking 15 and 7, then fell down going 'upstairs' maggoted and that was the end of that!
Good luck to him though.

Nah, thats bulls h i t. He's been working hard, trying to get fit ready for a big pre-season starting in a week.
He has been linked to Seddon-Yarraville - helping them set up a pre-season fitness program I believe, he did a good job at the lions last season, so that is good for him. Starting to spread his expertise.

This raises a good discussion here. Who was the softest player in GVFL 2005?
Lammaro would be in the top three I reckon, along with Harrap (bears) and Tranquili (mansfield).

You can say its soft but the fact is that these are all opinions and no one except Hayden will really know. There is no doubt some supporters of Euroa would have the opinion that Lamaro was soft for leaving the field so early but if it was a serious injury then surely he is entitled to leave the field. I along with everyone there that day don't know how serious the injury was but I find it hard to believe that having stepped onto a footy field around 300 times, that he would fake an injury in the 3rd most important match of his life.
BTW, Rosco5 should have stayed horizontally at CHF of Deaking for the last 15 years......a muppet he is.

Everyone says just because of the hit lamaro went off. That isnt the fact at all. He was actually heading to the bench when collins hit him and by the way it was a cheap blow by collo. Wasnt in the play and wasnt watching.
Fair enough grainger had a bad day but he isnt the only one to have a bad day on grand final day is he. I think ablett had a couple of shocker grand finals after 89 in which he tore the game apart. I dont thinks he did much in the 92,94 and 95 gf for geelong. Carey never really dominated a gf when the roos won 2. Every good player has a shocker sooner or later and his happened to be that day.
Still managed to kick 97 goals for the year.

Collo probly wasn't all that kind to Lamaro, but I was on the boundary fence close to where it happened and from memory Collins was late on a Lamaro mark, hence the little rib tickler.

Reputations are made in finals though BOSS, especially GFs. Unfortunately, despite having good years (re: Grainger, Lamaro etc) players who throw up shockers in big games get judged and remembered by that. And they'll have to wait a whole year to (possibly) get a chance to shake that tag!
As for Saad, he may have been spared a little as the Lions got up, but even so, it'll show he worked hard enough to kick 3 (incl. obviously 2 game breakers in the last 1/4) and created a few others.

When you sit in the goal square waving your arms at a good midfield, you'd expect the bloke to kick 97 goals. I don't think he ever ventured outside the 50m in any game he played against seymour, except quarter time to go get a pie. In fact, i'd say i could count the number of times he left the goal square on one hand.
I think the last time No Heart snagged 97 was when:
- i got a kick
- junkie got on the field
- lamaro got a heart
- grainger made a fair dinkum lead.
- Shepparton had a good bloke playing for them.

Not too sure on his whole season, but he did kick a few bags. .
In the GF, he started forward but then moved to the backline in the second half and was very good in settling the side and giving direction to teammates.
Money is irrelavent my friend: The most important thing is that he got what he and the Seymour Footy Club were after - a premiership flag.
his ankles are buggered, and I think he'll hang them up.

I have no opinion on the Lamaro injury other than to say he is a good player and if he had stayed on they probably would have won. As for Grainger, if he (ie you) dont like people's opinions on how poorly some played that day (and if carrying an injury which restricted him which seemed to be the case to me - shouldnt have played) then move on to a site where opinions are not shared.
As for me staying horizontal, get someone to com up behind you and king you and we'll see how long you stay 'horizontal' ? Muppet, maybe, but better than being a tool and a squeezer !!

Not too sure on his whole season, but he did kick a few bags. .
In the GF, he started forward but then moved to the backline in the second half and was very good in settling the side and giving direction to teammates.
Money is irrelavent my friend: The most important thing is that he got what he and the Seymour Footy Club were after - a premiership flag.
his ankles are buggered, and I think he'll hang them up.
not sure what mega bucks are. but he was no where near what some others in the gv get. no where near it. worth every cent.

Wasn't Dean Lupsom coaching up in the O and M this year?
Notorious reputation that man. I remember reading an article on him in the Ballarat paper a couple of years back during his Sunbury days....

first I have heard of it but it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest. he'd be very handy for them. he is playing the odd game of cricket at lbu this year, he lives in bamawm, and has plenty of mates out that way. that said, I'd bet my bottom dollar that kahl will play with rochy next year.

Just spoke to a Bullants source, said Scanlon is a big chance to play with the lions in 06. Apparently friendship with a few of the players, and the fact they train twice a week as a squad has a lot to do with it. Money not a huge object...not that i can believe that.
Euroa apparenlty throwing $650 in his face, whilst Tat throwing $800 per game.
Pretty sure Seymour start pre-season training next week sometime. Interesting to see what happens.
One of the Seymour lads may be able to inform us if he rocks up.
Tige, have you heard anything more whether tat is in with a shot.
Apparenlty Euroa are no hope, doesn't get along well with a couple of their boys, and wants to train, so its out of Tat and Seymour.
Surely the Lions don't have the coin to recruit if all their players are supposed to be staying.
anyhoo, we shall wait and see.

S h i t, there you go. Things even get under the nose of even the nosest people. Better give the great premiership coach SJD a call and suss out what is happening. Unless he is playing for nothing, or a few blokes are willing to take a pay cut, he won't be with the lions.

Everyone says just because of the hit lamaro went off. That isnt the fact at all. He was actually heading to the bench when collins hit him and by the way it was a cheap blow by collo. Wasnt in the play and wasnt watching.
Fair enough grainger had a bad day but he isnt the only one to have a bad day on grand final day is he. I think ablett had a couple of shocker grand finals after 89 in which he tore the game apart. I dont thinks he did much in the 92,94 and 95 gf for geelong. Carey never really dominated a gf when the roos won 2. Every good player has a shocker sooner or later and his happened to be that day.
Still managed to kick 97 goals for the year.
O
I take your point FOOTYBOSS, but unfortunately for Lamaro, most spectators were already of the opinion that he could go in a bit harder at times. He certainly has the ability to make an impact on a game, but to hunch over and head to the bench after the Collins whack in the GF was not a good look. I think Maximum Power summed it up pretty well by saying that a lot of players get rated on their finals performances.
I rate Lamaro as a player, but I'm sure the Euroa supporters will remember that incident for a while.
As for Grainger - duds dont kick almost 100 goals in a season, so I also rate him, but unfortunatley for him, he will also be remembered for not contributing on the day.
Cheers

Is Junkie>>> Grainger??? If so , mate you can play but deadset you carry on like your 5 men, tone it down terry tough nuts.
Its the first ive heard of Scanlon to Tatura, dont think there is any truth to it however, well im 100% sure there is no truth in it. I know the club is meeting with about 6 or so blokes from Bullants,Williamstown and the DVFL, if the club happens to sign all of them then it would be a similiur situation to Euroa and Seymour. It would make out of the starting 22, 9 would be from Melbourne and 13 from the GV area.
As for Luppo, he was my coach in 2001 i think and was very supportive of me and the rest of the boys and did nothing to upset anyone at the club so any backstabbing of the bloke will only fire up a few posters with alternative views on the man.

Lads, this is brilliant. Logged on for the first time since just before knocking off work on Thursday arvo (Hence why I didn't give you any tips for the Seymour races Mainy) and have just read 25 minutes of thoroughly entertaining stuff.
Do have some observations:
1) - I'm from Seymour and even I'm just about over the bagging of Hayden Lamaro. Granted questions had to be asked after he left the field in no apparent discomfort (Euroa blokes would have you believe he tore his calf muscle from the bone, but still he wasn't limping), but I think he's copped his whack. Let's move on.
2) - Collins was worth every cent at Seymour. Did his bit during the home and away season and while he was by no means a star in the finals series, his second half in defence in the Grand Final was a major reason behind the Lions getting the prize. And what tends to get overlooked with fellas that get paid is what they put back into the club and Collo was sensational in that area.
3) - Dean Lupson did coach the Wodonga Raiders this year but he isn't doing it next year. Former Carlton premiership player (and original Wodonga boy) Adrian Whitehead is doing the job in 2006.
4) - I know Paul Scanlon is very chummy with several of Seymour's ex-Bullants players. Think he has been in and out of the seniors at the Bullants since they aligned with Carlton, but you've gotta remember that was also the case with the great man (Saad). Would be a more than handy addition to any GVFL team.
5) - Fat Back Pocket's lean run with the willow continues. Dismissed for one yesterday to take his season's tally to five runs from four hits at an average of 1.25.

20 Nov 2005, 12:05
Was just watching the GFinal on dvd, and notice that Lamaro held his hand up to say he was injured, and coming off. As he did that the ball got handballed over to him and thats when collins whacked him.
