Agree there Musile, no doubt there is smaller ...but compared to gv ground would only compare to that of Mansfields...Im not a saying east burwood didnt deserve the win but seymour just didnt adjust...and when they did they came home strong but east burwood flooded and on a smallish ground it was not condition seymour were use to....

east burwood will be lucky to make the finals and you were beaten. so what is the excuse? everyone has stated that they struggled on the small ground. just what i have been saying all along bystander. keep reading my posts and you will learn a bit about football.
Kingfooty, Kingfooty, Just to clear a few things up , lets have a look at why the Ovens and Murry and GVFL Leagues are rated the best out of the VFL and AFL . Based on three criterias , 1. The ground sizes are just like that played at the highest level the VFL and AFL . [ Every ground ] 2. Media , it is all over the tv,its on the news in prime time, all over the major news papers and all over the radio threw out country victoria. [ Local leagues in Melbourne get jack ******** ] 3.Standard , To play on big grounds you have to recruit fast skillfull players that run , can hit targets , and play to near the standard of the VFL .[Same style game plans ]
If we want to get fairdinkum Kingfooty , games should be judged on big
grounds like the VFL AFL. Seymour played East Burwood last year when East
had a better side than this year and won by 15 goals, played Bundoora and Northcote Park , Montmerency and beat them all by 15 to 20 goals.
If you want to talk your league up play on grounds that are like the big
boys , not little cow pads that there is no space to move to show your class and skill .Yes tough football is the DVFL ,EFL because its all in close, and alot more physical, bring the bulldogs to East Burwood Kingpoof and see if they can get there game plan going , but put the bulldogs on the dome a propper football ground and good night boys?

Kingfooty, i have been following ur inlightened chat and noticed u still haven't told us any of ur credentials, so what have you been up to?
Also the vafa isnt the best league outside of the vfl. I have played their and it dosen't have the depth of the o&m or the gv. Yes they do have a good 5-8 stars in every team but then it drops away. Another thing is the rep game the blokes from the country don't seam to want to play where as the VAFA blokes love the oppurtunity thats why they have a good side, which has actually been beaten the last couple of yrs and was only saved from great embaressment last yr by joel rice.

i probably won't be playing as i have injured my cocsix (coxsic, cocksic, arse) bone... which is quite ironic i guess..
i reckon we'll go ok.

Pretty sure Kingfooty is with Heidelberg in the Diamond Valley FL.

1. Just cos you play on bigger grounds doesn't mean the footys better, shouldn't a good team be able to play under any conditions not just on big grounds????
2. Thats excellent that you have such great media coverage but i don't see how media coverage make the standard in one league better then another league. May hype up a league though???
3. Agree to play on big grounds you need fast & skillful players.
Now i follow a team in Eastern FL (Not East Burwood), & you say we cant talk our league up till we have all teams play on big grounds, i think you should come into the real world. Eastern FL would be just as good as GVFL.
Just cos some teams play on smaller grounds doesn't mean the quality of football is any worse, yes it will probably be more physical on smaller grounds (not that i think East Burwood is a small gorund). Is that why Seymour lost? couldnt handle the physical pressure?
Now finally you say you have beaten East Burwood (last year), Montmorency, Bundoora, Northcote Park etc. all ok clubs in their competitions. Vermont have beaten the equivilant sides including a 99 point thumping of East Burwood last season & that wasn't a praccy game. So if you really want to brag about your team/competition take on Vermont or even Noble Park & see how good you really are.
had a squizz at the Lightening premiership in Bendigo on Saturday. Rochy and Echuca won thru to the semi finals as expected. With Rochy going on to beat South Bendigo in the final.
The most impressive part of Rochy's game was their half back line with Pappin, Bowen and Smidt. Bowen in particular very good with his skills off half back. Pappin reads the play pretty well.
Echuca were an interesting one. Butts and X Campbell (Durie didnt play) dominated in the middle in all their games. Jamus Campbell was pretty good up half forward along with J Maddox. Probably the most disappointing was boom recruit Steven White. He's a monster of a man but looked slow at some stages and struggled to play infront of his opponant who looked about 2 ft smaller than him.. Hopefully for Echuca he will get better - early stages I suppose.
Wondering if there were any injuries to report from the weekends practice matches. Heard that one of Tat's new recruits may have got a punctured lung, but wasn't given any names. Maybe tige19 could clarify?

Please gentlemen, this discussion on whose league is better is taking up far too much valuable space in this forum.
I would like to point out that comparing leagues is like comparing teams and players of different era's, one can never know how well one side would adapt to the conditions that are prevalent in another competition or another era. Is Hird better than ******** Reynolds, Shaq better than Wilt Chamberlain, Steve Waugh's Aussies than Bradman's Invincibles? No one can truly answer these questions.
I would aslo think that everyone would agree that using practice match form as a yardstick for the strength of teams and competitions is inherently fraught with danger. While the discussion of such issues is a fertile ground for lively debate, no one should be so naive as to stick their head in the sand and say that their league is the most dominant in Victoria. There will always be certain variables, money and distance for example, that will give certain competitions an advantage over others.
As long as you are happy with the standard of football that is put on display each week when you put down your hard earned dollar for entry at the gate then is there really a need to try to put one league on a pedestal over another?
Let us all just hope that the AFL continues to pump money and resources into local footy to ensure that the many great leagues and clubs around Victoria can continue to provide us all with great enjoyment, and sometimes great despair, on weekends throughout the winter months.

Yeah, that would be a good form line, Echuca took half a side, Rochy had a few out and even the Bendigo sides had numerous players out. The games were apparently 2, 15 minute halves in very blustery conditions. Rochy might make the six (though I personally dont think so), but the lightning premiership in Bendigo from all reports was a bit of a laugh in the end.

I gotta lot of respect for the Tigers, and I know they've picked up a couple. But I think David Williams's message is going to get tired sooner or later. I write them off at my own peril though, I know that.

I see that Rochy beat Echuca in the lightning premiership on the weeekend. That means nothing at all. Rochy will get pumped during the year. I hate to say that because i admire their die hard attitude but we have to be realistic here. Echuca will also get pumped if they have 2 or 3 injuries to thier senior line up. If they can stay injury free they will make the finals, just.
I had a look at the departures from Echuca and boy has there been a mass exodus! Alot of 2's players leaving the club and only 2 or 3 senior players. So the depth will be a talking point i think.
Kyabram have not been talked about much! Might be a good thing i suppose. . .

Big Call saying shepp bears will get the wooden spoon. I watched the game against tat on the weekend which shepp won by about 7 goals i think.. with the likes of Matt Byers, Anthony Mellington, Nick Allen and a few others not playing i think we are in for a few suprises form the bears.

Wow didn't the seymour boys pipe up, settle down boys its only a 2 point loss........although could be early signs of a premiership hangover......;)
No Heart your kidding yourself if you think East burwoods ground is small, it would be atleast the same size as Mansfields, if not bigger.
Also mate you cant say that the GVFL is better because they play on bigger grounds and need fitter and more skillfull players. Currently in most suburban leagues, definetly in the Eastern FL there are 3 grounds which would be equal in size to say....deakin reserve and all the finals are played on these size grounds.
Teams in surburban footy need to play on both large and small grounds week in week out, so if your boys couldn't adjust to the size of a ground which is not small, I think your trying to hard to find excuses...........;)
Cheers
I agree with orange boy on the shepp bears. Going on the form they showed in the match against tat on the weekend, they looked alright, moved the ball well to two good forwards who finished off with 10 goals between them. With the likes of mellington, byres and allan plus five others to come in to the side for round 1, a few surprises may be on the cards. Sorry centreman i think your wrong, tat for the wooden spoon.
Doona's top six before a ball is bounced
Euroa, Seymour, Benalla, Mooroopna, then Shepp United, Rochy or Echuca
Premier: Benalla
Morrison Medal: Paul Kirby (Tatura) - if the Doggies can win a few more games in 2006 Id love to see me old mate win it. Has been a very consistent player the past few seasons.
Goalkicking: Symes (Benalla) or Gordon (Seymour), think both can get a ton.
Wooden spoon: Kyabram (based on the transfers pages)

Who's going to pump them? There are only 3 stand out teams and the rest are pretty even.
I think you'll find the club will view the lightening premiership win as a very positive result for the club. Firstly, they played a lot of young guys and secondly, the club gets a $2000 cheque. Hardly worth turning your nose up at.
I agree with orange boy on the shepp bears. Going on the form they showed in the match against tat on the weekend, they looked alright, moved the ball well to two good forwards who finished off with 10 goals between them. With the likes of mellington, byres and allan plus five others to come in to the side for round 1, a few surprises may be on the cards. Sorry centreman i think your wrong, tat for the wooden spoon.
Shepp Bears where good on the weekend, Mellington and Byres where the only 2 of note to miss, they fielded a very strong side. We had 6 senior boys not playing including Marty Mcragth and Trav Ryan only played a quarter which he kicked 2 goals and looked the goods. Scores at 3qtr time where even and we basically played the last qtr with 17 players with a few of the better players coming of (Mcdonald,Wellington,Polly etc). However they look better than what people are giving them credit for and i would think they will win a few more games than they wont this year.
Interested to see that most of the GV sides got flogged by O&M teams, would have thought it might have been a bit more even.
Echucaboy, howd you go on the weekend?? get a few Ps??

tige19, how did young fella's bret scarcella and ryan butler go for tat?
Scarcy went alright, i rate the guy, he seems to be lighting and when he learns the ropes a bit and knows where to run and make some better decisions when he has the pill i reckon he could be a genuine gun. I know the club really rates him and i think you will see him play pretty much in the ones, he has a heap of talent. How did he go at Ky last year?
Ryan Butler is a gem, if he doesnt play Bushies then i think you will see a fair bit of him with us. Is very small but it doesnt seem to bother him, no way out of his depth at GV senior level and by playing seniors i would think it wouldnt be long before his a regular at TAC.

How did he go at Ky last year?
scarc started in a blaze of gorly in his first game for the club playing in the senior, getting third best or so, wasn't able to follow it up the next week unfortunatly. Came back to the thirds for the rest of the year then and plated consistant footy to pick the b&f and help them into the granny.
His down fall is the effort he puts in, he has real potential. i think someone has just got to get him to realise that, which could be a tough ask
Just wondering if any seymour people (grandale), could update me on why pete pap is wearing an arm brace whilst playing footy??? Have it on good auhority he believes it makes him run faster, something to do with wind resistance. Is this true? The other rumour floating around is that he see's it as a fashion statement to make up for his brothers lack of fashion! (Rip Quale)

i probably won't be playing as i have injured my cocsix (coxsic, cocksic, arse) bone... which is quite ironic i guess..
i reckon we'll go ok.
Whilst I haven't seen lower plenty play, I don't think Rochy will be a force this year so don't know where the "you'll get pumped" is coming from.
Watched Rochy play in the BFL lightning p'ship last week and while they won they were not fantasic.... Only had to win 4 games (2 x 15min halves) to win the lot....
It may be a longer year than people expect for Rochy...

Heard on the grape vine that Shepp Swans and Tatura are in a bidding war for 2 aboriginal brothers who play for Wanderes in NT. Apparentley 1 of which one the league medal a year or so back and the other came very close this year.
If money is the sole motivation for the 2 brothers then you would think Tat would hold the upper hand, however should they be seaking full time employment it seems as though Mr.Bott likes to help out these Shepp sides, eg Jeremy Obrien and Lochy Veale.
At this stage ive been given the mail that Tatura have the inside running as the Wanderes president is an ex Bulldog man. Second hand info fellas but i know for sure that the brothers will either be at Swans or Bulldogs. Anyone else heard anything about it?? you would think that which ever team signs the 2 would move alot closer to finals action.

Are they the Maher brothers??? I know Swans were chasing them but last I heard they had gone to Nth Adeladie. There's huge wraps. If Swans lost them to Tat they would be fuming as i know they've put in a power of work. The president and another official have been up there separately at different times. Again I don't know if these are the same brothers.
The Swans have been chasing a lot from up Darwin and expect to get a few more this week although you never know. One thing the swans do have is a good relationship with the league.

Mate to be honest i have no idea there names i was just chatting to a couple of fellas that are involved at Tat fairly heavily and they seem to be quite confident of landing them. Also speaking to a Swans player and he also said that they where confident of getting them.
All i know is that they come from Wanderes and are deadset stars, with the GV being open fast paced football you would think that they would be in the top echolan of player running around.
Either side weather that be Tat or Swans if they manage to land the 2 of them it would really push either 1 of them to within the top 4 or 5 sides. At the moment i would probably have the Swans and Tat just outside the finals so these 2 boys would be crucial.
i dont no if anyones got the time but it would be good to get a ins and outs

Calm before the storm alright, everyone I talk to about footy is mentioning the drive to Euroa next Saturday, hope the Euroa boys put it on the committee to up the catering. I dont mind a graze at the footy and Im gunna be $hitty if they run out early before i get a chance to swoop.
Someone from Seymour tell me what's the go with Rattray? I heard the Bombers hooked him up with 3 different jobs and the longest he lasted at any was a week. Such a shame if the VFL experiment is over before it began. Where will he fit into the Lions set up around Saad, Gordo and the resting Schotty/Ben Bailey combo?
Seymours gun player Robbie Douglas has injured his knee and he will be out for 6 weeks. My theory is: "no Douglas no Seymour"

Paddy walked out on Bendigo about 2 weeks ago, and played a practice match with the lions. Bendigo are not to happy after giving him the world and Paddy then ********ing in there face, so bendigo will not clear him unless seymour pay $2,000 dollars , so at the moment both clubs are at a stand still and Paddy is in football limbo.

Schottner v Janz can't say that janz will be able to shut down schotty, now Ben Baily is back he (janz) will have a tough time in the ruck.
Grainger v Anderson another good contest, this one will be won or lost with the delivery into the forward line.

Who will get the job on Rory Hilton? If this Clarke is as good as we're hearing then Hilton, Sage and even Clayton are gunna get their share of first crack at the ball. Robbie Inness used to get a weekly "run with" role for the Lions before falling out of favour . . . . could Inness#15 be a darkhorse for Hilton?

Dunno how it works FBP but didnt the Bombers try and set him up with some job offers etc and he's chucke it in . . . . I maybe wrong but thats what I was told. If he does line up at Seymour round one Id expect him to be a bit strong in the air at reserves level and a certainty for a lazy 5-6 sausage rolls.

I would expect that if rochy played their best side in they should win by 20 goals like I said. if rochy did have a good side in then the standard of the gv outside of the top 3 is in question. lower are a very ordinary side in the dv having relegated after getting pumped all year aswell as losing some top line players. so which story is it either I was right in saying that rochy should win by 20 goals with their best side in or is the standard of footy outside of the top 3 or 4 in the gv very ordinary. i look forward to a response especially since that your the best league outside vfl and all.

Rochy beat Lower Plenty yesterday, but it wasn't as one way as some might have thought. Lower went in without 2 of its better players and gave a few young fellas a run. Rochy was definately a better side, but I think Lower will not be easy beats like they were in 2005. The ground up there has massive wings, but isn't too much bigger than a DVFL ground. It was noticably hard though, and quite a few of our boys pulled up sore, and a few got injured and couldnt get through the match. Mitch_fc was the runner again...

Surprised you don't know the in and outs for the Rochy team yourself considering what an expert you are on every side in every league of country victoria.
Rochy had a few guys out but as stated in an earlier post Rochy may have a tough year. Now going off your previous posts, Rochy beating lower plenty would indicate that GVFL is stronger than DVFL - you know with the practice games indicate league strength and all that cr@p.....
There will definately be top 4 or 5 sides in the GVFL then the teams will drop away this year - Rochy will be trying to get the 6th spot for the finals...

You really are keen to denigrate the standard of the GVFL Kingfooty. I'm not too sure why.
It is very hard to judge leagues and teams by one off practice games and whilst it is of course better to win these games than lose them, you can get peculiar results at times. If a club could play a whole season at a different league you would get a much fairer indication. And then you have variables like clubs being down for a few seasons, or vice verca making it all fairly subjective.
The main problem with all of this speculation is the fact that people generally are fairly biased in their view of their own league and this will always cloud people's judgements.
Tusken you have made some very good points. Even interleague games are not a true indicator as most leagues can readily find 24 topliners. Its the next 24 and so on that give you the depth of the talent in the league. :)

Completely agree Tusken. Most practice games I've played in or watched over the years have been little more a good hit-out for the veterans or a chance for the young players to prove themselves against men. Clubs do take them semi-seriously, but only to get a good game into the players.
I'm not really sure why kingfooty is so keen to compare leagues etc. It's a pretty pointless exercise. I'm happy with the standard of the GV, as are most around here. I couldn't care less about how it stands up against Melbourne leagues, as I have no interest and will probably never watch a game of it.

douglas will miss this week i'd suspect.
Rattray will be playing with seymour in 2006. Not sure what is going on with the whole bendigo pay-back thing, but he is living in melbourne and working full time with SJD...so i can't imagine he would play anywhere but seymour.
He has missed a lot of pre-season with a knee and ankle injury, so i don't think we'll see him in the ones straight up...but once he gets right into it, could provide the forward line with a bit of extra bite.

Appreciate your sentiments BYSTANDER especially as I have no idea to your identity. Look Im a mate & a big Robbie Inness fan & would love to see him in action on Saturday thats all.
Douglas is a definite ommission, caught up with him yesterday will be definite 4-6 week loss for the Lions.

ky took on mooroopna in a prac match on the weekend and i think to many peoples surprise they came up trumps, winning by about 3-4 goals.
With both teams having noteable players out, ky(newman, taylor, ciavola, seriakowsi?) and mooroopna from what i could tell(campbell x2, hall, and a couple of other recruites.
Ky put in there best showing so far playing some good footy with heath barnett kicking 4 or 5 majiors(looking good), nunn was in for his first hitout for the club was very impressive in the ruck, looks to have a bit of a dodgy knee by will definitly help out in a big way with the tall stocks at ky. V.j singh was sent off after throwing a cheap shot out of what looked like frustration of not getting a kick, but did come back to kick 2-3 goals. Norman was ok for them, but only in patch, was playing in the ruck at one stage which was interesting to see.
On a bad note for ky dustin brown when down with a knee injury and looks like he could be gone with his third reco in as many years.
i believe ky is in about the same positon as they were last year personal wise but mooroopna will be better then they were last year when they all come together
Just noticed that Mick Sheils has applied to be cleared from Seymour home to Nagambie. Plenty to offer and will dominate in the KDFL, unfortunately due to the Lion's great depth the past 2-3 years he hasn't been able to crack a regular gig.

Interested to see that Kyabram beat Mooroopna on the weekend, i would think looking at the boys that didnt play for both sides that they would have been fairly even in importance for both sides. Are Ky a real underdog??, also is the big Nunn the bloke that played at St.Patts in school footy and Nth Ballarat 18s and seniors?? if so he will be a very handy footballer, is built like a tank and can tak a grab, stands at about 193cm so can play forward and ruck...... a very big recruit for the club.
Also got word that Sunburys premiership full back Steven Sparry is on his up the Hume to play with Tatura, the guy is probably about 6ft3 (192cm) and has a really good build as well as being a jumping machine. If true that he is heading up to Tat then it would be a massive get for the club, would be in the top half dozen full backs running in the GV.
Has anyone got word on the results for Mansfields practise matches? i have heard nothing on them, did they even play?
C'mon lads 4 more sleeps until the big clash . . . what our peoples thoughts on the grand final rematch?
Im going the Lions by under 10 points, although Im a tad weary of Douglas not being down back.
Joffa will have Grainger covered no worries, and I cant see the Maggies having the numbers to go with Saad, Gordon, Rattray if he plays and the resting Bailey/Schottner combination. Looking forward to watching Hilton, Clayton and one of my faves Sage in action, as well as new Lions Gordo, Colbert adn Scanlon.

Just noticed that Mick Sheils has applied to be cleared from Seymour home to Nagambie. Plenty to offer and will dominate in the KDFL, unfortunately due to the Lion's great depth the past 2-3 years he hasn't been able to crack a regular gig.
Are you sure it wasn't for a permit for last weekends clash with avenal doona? Just got off the phone with him then after reading your post and he is still playing for the lions this year... hopefully they realise he is an important part of the future (having not even turned 21) and give him greater opportunities to prove himself!

I think Ash Thomson will be a big inclusion to the pies defence and there may be a few people underestimating his ability. Not sure but i'd say he might get the job on Gordon. Is Gordon hard at it? Or is he likely to drop his head if he cops a few?

I hope this is the case inlimbo . . . didnt think the paperwork as such went through the same channels as normal clearances for match permits. If I made a blue Im sorry for reading the page wrong and consider myself and ill informed tool :eek:

Doona apologies for early comments regarding inness...didnt mean it wrongly toward robert but he is hardly in the calabra of hilton... I hope robert has a good year saw him smash trenqullie last year but he is a backman struggle in the main play... do you reckon he will be a ones player or in and out...
and junkie i dare you to give gordon a few saw him a few years back in the eastern league..hardly some one to pick on but go ahead will make paying the entry fee worth every cent
ill back the lions to donna, but will be a close game

I dont play BYSTANDER, was just wondering what sort of character he is. He is a pretty big unit isn't he?

mick sheilds ask for a match permit but you can't get one to play in a lower leauge, so he got cleard to nagambie and then he will get cleard back to seymour.
