View Full Version : Official GVFL thread (part 1)
Whoops, looks like ol-tige-o has blown a fuse.
maybe we can just send you a personal email to S_downey19@hotmail.com.
What do you think?
Young minds hey, fight like cats. Maybe if Fatty Poombar lost some kg's he could play ones when Seymour plays tat, that way the two can go toe to toe, then Tat won't have to pay someone else to smash his fat face in, Tige will already be getting paid, tat may just add it to the contract and he can just do it himself!!
he he.
Thats fu#$king poor form you low ********!
This is a forum to post your views on football not to state who you are etc.
BTW, If S.Peterson was to play senior footy in the GV then the comp would have gone back a couple of steps and would be looking at re-naming itself the Benalla and District Football Comp....

Sidey your posts are confusing me
First you post in the GV thread asking what league the Mac medalist is from and then you go to the ky league thread and ask what the name of the league medal is.
After you received no responses, in other words, no one gave a $hit, you post that a former mac medalist is lining up with united.
Keep up the good work
LOL for Travvy.
The Sidester wouldn't be referring to his cousin by any chance?

I'm more than happy to post stuff and back it up if that's the way we wanna head as many blokes know Doona = Chris Nolan. Pity there are blokes who continually bull******** on yet wont show their true identity - lets not go down the personal attack path again fella's its been done to death!!!

So you dont think its going too far to post someones email address on here without their permission??
I don't think the money will ever dry up. It just means that someone else will be splashing it around.
Look at the O&M say 7 or 8 years ago. Widely regarded as the best league in Country Vic, but only because they were paying good dollars for quality players.
This has since shifted to GVFL who have been able to attract quality AFL and VFL players because we are now splashing the dollars around.
Once the money dries up in the GV, we will most likely see Bendigo, Ballarat, Geelong or O&M start to offer good money to attract good players.
We need to stop bitching about dollars so much and just sit back and enjoy the comp while it is this good. We've got quality players, a very high standard of footy we can watch, little or no thuggery and the added bonus of seeing a few ex AFL guys in action. How goods this eh? :thumbsu:
Dont get me wrong I love the standard of the GV, but Im afraid of at what cost. Whilst the north based clubs are bitchy that Euroa, Seymour and Mansfield have been up there of late, Im more worried about the long term effects once the money goes and the big name players follow shortly after.
I know it all goes around, but soon enough the same GVFL reserves level players are then expected to step up to senior level to make the grade they couldnt once get to (and their clubs are then paid out for being incapable) ........ that's the side of the coin that is frustrating.

Is that the league that Bonnie Doon plays in?
Rippa, thanks for that complement Junkie.
I think you should just worry about yourself, don't worry about me mate. Make sure you get a game in your reserves!!
So you dont think its going too far to post someones email address on here without their permission??
I sure do . . . big mistake by that contributor. Maybe he was trying to say that if you've got the big comments to make then do it with your correct name - but has gone about it the wrong way big time.
As long as we dont lose Tige19 out of it.
Gutterson is not an onballer mate!! He plays either half forward or half back and is probably better suited at half back with his pace and long kick!!! Don't get me wrong he is a very handy player but not worth what he is getting and definatly not a better player then sage!!! Kidding yourself!!! Hooper is also a pretty handy ruckman but cant play forward or is not very good up forward but may be as a back up to kirbs!!! he was thrown forward for the ants ones this year and rarely kicked goals!!! would be better suited to centre half back i think cos kirbs is even par with shottner as the best ruckman in the comp!!!But if you guys want to pay him $800 a game plus a Hefty sign on which i won't mention, plus accomodation for him, girlfriend and family and even a higher car with all petrol expenses then go ahead!!! You may be dissapointed cos he is no where near the ruckman Kirby or Shottner is and it may cost you more money then each of those players are on which could be used on 2 quality, non money hungry players who will play for the jumper and not the coin!!! All the Best Tat!!! You will probably need it!!!
I think I would class Shottner as a better player than Kirbs! Both times last year he towelled Kirbs and more often than not in previous years. I do believe Kirbs may have got him at the final in Tat though 2 seasons ago.

I think pretty much all of us know who Tige19 is. Though he may not go out of his way to say who he is, he doesnt try to hide it either. Pretty s h i t whatever way you look at it..

I seriously doubt FBP knows Tige's personal email address.
Think he might have just been mucking around and has a stab at what he thought it might be.
Was he anywhere near it, Tige?

If you want people to know who you are then thats fine but this is a public forum and I think you're a minority Doona.
It isn't a pity that they wont show their identity mate, its a shame that they bull$hit on!

spot on Doona. just look at benalla saints and the loss of fringe players all heading out to the o&k league for the 06 season, which will affect their depth.
probably nearly half of last years ressies finals team i heard. Also heard the local guys who were getting a $ may have to take pay cuts. but clubs continue to chase big names asking big $.

The suspicions began about 50 pages ago......and finally they slip up;)
That is my email, im not quite sure how No Heart got it but it doesnt bother me either way, like anyone if they would like to email me go ahead thats fine, im not one to shirk any issues im fairly upfront.
On this whole GVFL topic that was started at the start of the year, it is almost gone beyond what is accepted on here. The thread will be close to be shut down and people like No Heart and FBP will be banned i can assure if they continue with there pathetic dribble.
Anyone who starts to refer to people on here using there name/full name in an unwarranted way will be banned especially if that poster doesnt see fit his name should be posted. It doesnt really bother me to be honest but i guarantee that if this thread continues on the same path then people will be banned and the thread shut down.
Im honestly lost as to why so many people on here are complaing or putting down the fact that there are 5 or so players who are friends heading up to play footy with Tat. The GV is a top standard of footy and players naturally want to be involved in it, i think there has been more talk about Tatura getting mercanries than anything lately on this forum. There wasnt even as much talk when Steven Daniel said that Seymour have half imports and half locals.
The whole thing is bemusing. I come on here cause i like to talk about footy and listen to others opinions not because i want to listen to some drop kick 2s player who thinks he is the encyclopedia of the GVFL and his say means more than others.
cheers
geez guys, just had a flick through the past couple of pages and there's a bit going on hey. sadly though, none of it is footy related. this thread is good for a laugh but that's about it atm.
couple of good points made there tige. I think some of us should just relax a little. it'd be a shame for my mate rowey if this thread were to close as he instigated it all. I know he has intentions of telling his grandchildren about this thread one day.

Footy is footy boys and to be competitive at any standard, certain players are required. These players are seldom locals, meaning that Club's starting the season as equal, all striving for the Holy Grail, need to import players who will get them closer to the dream. More often than not, these players are proven match winners in other competitions and help the locals obtain the chance of finals football. But when clubs - in any region and competition - discard their local footballers from both senior and reserve grade teams, the death knell of that club is not to far away, as the imports move on.
We all know the statement "Money talks and bull S%#t walls", meaning the imports have only their back pocket at heart, not the club like the local players. Down track when the imports have left and the club struggling to raise finances, the locals will return better footballers since they have been given the opportunity and instead of playing ith their mates and for the love of the jumper, know want the cash.
It's a dangerous cycle that we live in and one that football has been coping with for the last fifty years. And it is one that football will cope with and that will be discussed for another fifty years.

Beautifully said Tige19 - I guess all this off season boredom is really taking it's toll. Tatura should be seen no differently to Euroa, Seymour, Masfield, Mooroopna Dougy etc. etc. In all seriousness Id love to see Tat back up there for me old Broady mate Kirbs sake - I guess the heat just died down from Euroa and Seymour for a bit and unfortunately tatura was in the firing line!!!
Tat should actually be thanked for the boom recruiting period the GVL are having. After all, they were the pioneers of getting big names to their club during the early 90's.
someone should do a "best of the last 15 yrs" side for each GVL club..
Imagine Tatura's line up! you can't include derek kickett though, cos he only trained there!!!!
Yeah lets get back to the footy, All the best for the year Tige, actually think Tat are one of the better run clubs around and are very smart about the way they go about it, doubt their money will dry up with dairy week still running. They realised this year they needed to go backwards on the field to go forwards on and off the field in the coming years. This is only my opinion of course and I don't and havent ever had anything to do with the Tat footy club.

Well put Wokky, u should have gave that spiel to Broady a few years ago mate, But yeah spot on, your footy club really does depend on those couple of blokes who spend the money that the committee and other loyal supporters who work their butt off to make.

Tyson Sidebottom
There are some inflated opinions and some that don't rate him on here, but one thing is for sure he will make GV seniors and be a handy player for United also.
heard today that ky's b&f Andrew Gill will be trying his hand at Coburg. good luck, gilly.

Not sure if someone has posted this yet but Tyson Sidebottom has signed at Shepp United. He has finally stepped up to a better standard of competition so it will be interesting to see how he go's!!! I don't know a great deal about him. How will he handle it in the GVFL??

Well there ya go.
Will be playing on the ball in the 2nds, on the fringe of a senior game.
Tough squad to break into.

This is united we are talking about? Sidebottom will probably be their captain, and will definately play 1's.
Agree that in a strong GV side he would be a fringe player, maybe starting on the bench in a lot of games.

Tige19 just a question just wondering about your injury that made you miss all of last season have you recovered and hy have you given the saints the flick without playing a game.

Yeah your not kidding what a load of rubbish. I think FBP is being a little hypercritical of Tige here, yeap tat are trying to get a few recruits and will more than likely pay them cash but you cant tell us that this same thing doesnt happen in Seymour. From memory Steve Daniel bought a few blokes from the bullants that he knew and paid them cash same as what Tige is doing so what is the problem with Tatura doing it? It is the usually the way in which good clubs are built upon. Gees give him a break i cant believe this even became an issue
[QUOTE=a.k.a.]And who did you see tat play against Lobster?
QUOTE]
Watched them play against Benalla where Ricky Symes kicked 16 and also watched them play against shep.
Tige, tat are only doing what seymour and euroa have done over the last couple of years. Getting a few mates to go and play footy together because there would be nothing worse than driving by yourself to games from melbourne.
Ok boys now that we are into december, surely most teams have started pre season training. How are the numbers at training and also who training the best at your club.
That is rediculous why would they give him captaincy?
You are an idiot.
And united will make the 6 this year.
Big statement Gregory.
If you think united will make the 6 this year - then you are obviously smoking some top quality hooch. Here's a few sides for you to think about next time your choofing on your bong:-
Euroa, Seymour, Mansfield, Benalla, Shepparton, Rochester, Mooroopna, Echuca & Tatura.
I count 9 sides there, who will all definately be fighting for a place in the 6 next year. Can you really see United being better than 4 of the sides I have mentioned above?
As for the captaincy call - you obviously dont recognise sarcasm when you see it. My point is that united are a very ordinary side, and Sidebottom will easily make their seniors as a result. If he were going to most of the sides I listed above, he would be a fringe player in my opinion.

Kyabram have obtained the srevices of Josh Vick for 2006. Played int eh geelong district league last year, dont know much about him, tall versitile player is how it is stated in the paper.
They have also retained the services of Ciavola which is more noteworthy i guess and hopeful of lureing one of Ciavolas (as the paper puts it) "accomplished footballing friend"!!
I think it will be a battle for the bombers next year

well said big cat. never seen sidebottom play so I can't really comment on him but I completely agree with you on your rating of shepp united. they'd need to recruit a few quality players to be a contender next year.

josh vick - a ky boy I think returning to the club (??) - doesn't go too bad from memory.
they'd be happy with keeping ciavola as his year was pretty good. the rumours were that he was heading back to montmorency.

Hank1. I was sacked as treasurer from the BFNC a few years back for trying to implement a better pay structure, lowering the costs and removing some of the imported players. But when coaches and selectors see their mates in the firing line to have pay cuts they react and have the treasurer fired. Since then, I have very little to do with the BFNC.

R.Connaughton (Rochester) to South Bendigo
N.Knight (Rochester) to South Bendigo

Heard that Archer (Shepp Bears) was looking to head to rushy. Won the GVFL reserves league medal last year but is getting on a bit. Would still be a handy addition, and may be the recruit you are referring to Rushy Tiger?
Bigger news however is that I also heard that Mason (also shepp bears) was looking at going to rushy. This guy would be a very very handy addition to them if he can stay injury free.
Tige19 just a question just wondering about your injury that made you miss all of last season have you recovered and hy have you given the saints the flick without playing a game.
Hey mate,
I wouldnt say ive given the club the flick because its not like that at all, i had a chronic foot problem which blew up mis pre season last year and that was it for me the season. I didnt play a game which im spewing about because the blokes at the club are champions and the officials great people, its a very different feel to Tatura.
The problem is that i have 3 or 4 mates who are all keen to play together and are all very goiod footballers and i basically know that Benalla wouldnt be able to put them into there budget, it might sound wrong but its just reality. At the end of the day we are mates who are keen to play together, Tatura came to the boys and put something to them and they liked it so it has worked out well.
Im not dointg the dirty on Benalla at all, i never played a game and i basically didnt hear from anyone at the club after my injury so i dont think they would be overly upset im not coming back up.
cheers lads

Cuttriss and Pappin have a big reputation in the league for being mercenaries. They follow the big bucks all around the country.
However, I suppose they would need all the money they get when they are drinking 7 days a week.

Rochester 1990 - 2005
B: Jeremy Campbell - Nathan Roulston - Tim Cottam
HB: Brenton Gray - Robert Miller - Gary Hawker
C: Darryl O'Neill - David Williams - Simon McCarty
HF: Tim Rasmussen - Anthony McPhee - Heath Aitken
F: Brad Sparks - Ash Tointon - Stephen Rasmussen
R: Ben Anderson - Phillip Morgan - Chris McCarty
I: Mick Auld - Mick Keenan - Dominic David - Adam Edwards
Unlucky:
Gary Appleby - Martin Kick - Shane Dupay - Scott Hanson - Daniel Schmidt -
Darryl Harrison - Nathan Gemmill - Gavin Excell - Dwight Weeks
There is quite a few that are very unlucky. It was a pretty fun exercise, trying to remember all those players.
Do you honestly rate Steve Rassmussen over players like Shane Dupay and Gavin Excell?
[QUOTE=a.k.a.]And who did you see tat play against Lobster?

Watched them play against Benalla where Ricky Symes kicked 16 and also watched them play against shep.
Tige, tat are only doing what seymour and euroa have done over the last couple of years. Getting a few mates to go and play footy together because there would be nothing worse than driving by yourself to games from melbourne.
Ok boys now that we are into december, surely most teams have started pre season training. How are the numbers at training and also who training the best at your club.
Mates with Hayesy I take it?
Kyabram have obtained the srevices of Josh Vick for 2006. Played int eh geelong district league last year, dont know much about him, tall versitile player is how it is stated in the paper.
They have also retained the services of Ciavola which is more noteworthy i guess and hopeful of lureing one of Ciavolas (as the paper puts it) "accomplished footballing friend"!!
I think it will be a battle for the bombers next year
Is he the fat, bald, dud that plays on the ball for them?

Gday rowey, u have constructed quite a side there. May i point out some of my thoughts and could these guys play in another position:
Rob Miller at CHB, Ben A in the ruck (Sam Brennan very unlucky), Daniel Schmitt unlucky? not convinced bout that. Very good effort first up though, congrats to u. Would be good to see wot others could come up with from other sides!

Can almost definately confirm that cuttriss and pappin will wear a different colour strip this year. have heard rumours of Pyramid Hill and Tongala, havent heard of any cash involoved. could you maybe help me with that?
Do you honestly rate Steve Rassmussen over players like Shane Dupay and Gavin Excell?
stevey is a very good player and is worthy of a mention in such a side. not sure whether the white maggots would agree though hehe.
its an intersting one though and it must be noted that its difficult to put a best side together over a 15 year period. do you go for the big name players who were very good in their time like excell and tointon, and not include the likes of appleby and 'stretch' brennan who gave better service over a longer period of time. the truth is that excell and tointon only played a couple of years each so can you include them?? edwards, and even dom david and nath gemmill - all exceptional players that made a big impact on the footy club but for only a short amount of time.
to get back to your question madtige, shane dupay was a very, very good player and it'd take some sort of player to better him. stevey was a lot more value to rochy than excell ever was though.

Here here jmain, steve and shane both excellent players, well above excell and co. in the loyalty and service stakes.

I have heard that pyramid hill have offered pepsi a packet and have also chucked in ambulance cover for his mrs if she were to faint again ala gf day this year.

my memories of excell in rochy colours are not so much on the way he destroyed the opposition but moreso of bf rowey yelling out 'its gavin exceelll' every time he got near the pill as we sat behind the goals at the non-powlesy and butters end. I was a huge fan of big gav, especially seeing he played at geelong and all. but when talking about him in his rochy days he's nowhere near the likes of stevey rass.

It's a fair point madtiger.
Gavin Excell was a good player. No doubt if we had him in 1997, the result could've been different.
Shane Dupay was one of my favourites when I was growing up. He was the complete package: high marking, couragous and very skilled.
Stevie Ras is an interleague representative and played seniors for nearly eight years, the other two were only there for a while. I remember Dupay left when he was only 23 or 24.
Anyways, it's all subjective and I probably spent about 2 minutes doing it. I have missed some other good players like 'Bluey' Callaghan, Scott Leathers, Craig Lazzaro and a heap of others.

2 Dec 2005, 13:10
great work there rowey, awesome side!! and to think that 'stretch' brennan couldn't get a guernsey speaks volumes as to how good the side is. couldn't squeeze in the big johnny mac either??
Haha, fair point mate. I must admit that I didn't even think of Sammy, but there were others I missed. For example, Michael Eefting in the ruck.
Could you imagine a forward line with Ash and Johnny Mac! They would either kick 20 goals between or both be sent off.

Dupay was a pretty good player, hard to leave him out of your side rowey, but still a good one nonetheless.
He played for Mt. Gravatt up in the QAFL and made a fair impact up there as well. I was watching a video of the 1996 QAFL GF a while ago and noticed one of his teammates at Mt. Gravatt was none other than a Rochy enemy in Mark Heritage.

Ha, the big Mac. He's the matty richo of the comp - if he was to kick a bag he'd need about a thousand shots on goal. I think you rochy boys may unfortunately know all too well about that though

One John B Wright must also be a bit stiff. The big pumpkin head still delights me in telling of his footy prowess.

yeah afraid so. he kicked 2 goals 8 in his last game for rochy. it happened to be in a knock-out semi final that rochy went on to lose by a little over a kick I think (??). so, instead of being hurt by the loss and his efforts in that game he snips over to seymour for more cash and screws them over as well. ha ha - he's such a big mac and you've got to laugh I guess.

Pumps Jess will be devastated. We wont tell him today though as it is his last day on the payroll at Mitre. Apparently the cri is where his send off is, the unfortunate part is that i have to serve him all night. That M.Doolan you speak of, the kids got a heart but not quite the skills of a oh i dont know Chris Cunningham ha ha

Big statement Gregory.
If you think united will make the 6 this year - then you are obviously smoking some top quality hooch. Here's a few sides for you to think about next time your choofing on your bong:-
Euroa, Seymour, Mansfield, Benalla, Shepparton, Rochester, Mooroopna, Echuca & Tatura.
I count 9 sides there, who will all definately be fighting for a place in the 6 next year. Can you really see United being better than 4 of the sides I have mentioned above?
As for the captaincy call - you obviously dont recognise sarcasm when you see it. My point is that united are a very ordinary side, and Sidebottom will easily make their seniors as a result. If he were going to most of the sides I listed above, he would be a fringe player in my opinion.
I think people are being a little harsh about United at this stage. I'm not sure if many have seen S.Hazelman run around but he will be in the top 10-15 in the league when he is fit again. The only thing that stopped him from being drafted was his leg speed, but he will consistently get 35 touches in the GV. He is my tip to take out the Morrison at this stage.
I would have United ahead of Rochester, Echuca and Tatura and they wont be too far off Mansfield and Shepp.

A "small" minority of blokes associated within the GV think that anyone else in any other league is useless.
Sidebottom would play senior football in any of the top3 GV sides.
When the Shepp Swans were travelling well Ramadan Yze was allways getting a game and getting in their best and Sidebottom is a s h i t load better player than him. Just because these people play in that comp does not mean that they cant play football.? Ala Rattray arguably Seymours most productive FWD in the prelim and Granny. "oh hang on" he's from the KDL. !!
Shane Dupay was one of my favourites when I was growing up. He was the complete package: high marking, couragous and very skilled.
Followed a couple of mates who played at Mt. Gravatt when I was living up north and reckon Dupay was there at the time - would that be true???

Would have been from '96 on Doona, not sure how many years he played there or if he still does but he was definitely playing in the '96 QAFL GF for Mt. Gravatt.

Dude, Patty played ok in the finals, but his season as a whole was pretty odinary. Struggled a bit early and was on the verge of being dropped mid-season. Any KDFL players taking a step up to GVFL will struggle initially but can always improve as the season goes. Sidebottom will be no different.

Count the two Hazelmans as new recruits as they didnt really get on the park last year. I'm not sure of names but the coach has apparently got 3-4 guys which he has had a bit to do with in the past so i'd expect some handy players there considering he is an ex Vic Country captain.

yeah, i thought about afro as soon as i clicked submit. probably should've made the team before barney. 'strawbs' learmonth won a few b&f's and was a goer.
