Have heard norman will front up again, aloi is unlikely (perhaps going to Greenvale with his brother) and learmonth is gone too, he will be coaching Darley in the Ballarat footy league.
Any feedback about Gary Learmonth?
Play alright? Good coach? Tightarse who won't buy a drink? ;)
Hey Boss Was there ant effort at all to entice Hilton to coach. He has played under some of the best in the game.

I doubt it very much considering he stated he didnt have the time to even play footy next year. Coaching takes up far more time then playing head. Im sure we will find a coach soon enough.
In reference to Hilts playing under some of the best in the game, I think not. Frawley and Gieschen were absolute jokes of coaches. You would probably wouldnt learn to much under them.

Hilton would have had a quick conversation with Leigh at Brisbane airport as Rory was collecting his boarding pass to go back to Melbourne and Leigh waiting at the baggage claim.
But I knew you were thinking of Matthews:)
Was he at Brisbane when Matthews took over?97/98. I thought he was, sorry wrong. Northey in those years and merrit took over half way through his 2nd year Mathews took over in 99. Northey might be the pick out of the 3 of them.:)

So that means he has played under Northery, Merret, Walls, Geischen, Frawley and Wallace. The best one I would say would be Wallace without a doubt.:thumbsu:

Northey has the best record of any of those coaches, including Wallace.

My info says the tail is attempting to wag the dog. Tends to happen there a bit.
The Mansfield boys were on a their footy trip to Perth and ran into Jock at the Casino at 4pm and said as far as he knew he was still coaching. Although they hadn't been in contact for a fortnight
Speaking to a bloke in Adelaide who said Nathan Bell is coming back to the swans and bringing 4 others. Interesting news that !? heard a whisper that he had re-signed w his home club of Tantanoola in the mid s/east league (minor league below the WBfl) who he won a flag w this yr and he also won the leagues b&f.He certainly will be a good pick-up & welcome back for the swans if he does come back, he's one of those players that won't take long to step up and re-ajust (spelling) especially knowing that he's played there before.

Who is Nathan Bell? What type of player?
from what i've heard they include Bailey, pemberton, douglas, jake annderson, van reit, reid and colbert
I've heard Bailey will go. Jake Anderson will apparently do a pre season with Hawthorn. Reid and Colbert are supposed to be good mates so will either go or stay together. I've also heard Schottner is looking at coaching options outside the club. Have heard nothing on Van Reit.

Interesting. Where did you hear this? Also know that Pilling is definitely gone and the Great Saad Saad might get rookie listed at Essendon. Not looking good for a 3peat if these rumours are true. Can we entice fat back pocket back to confirm/deny these rumours?

Reckon FBP went out on a high and has retired from Big Footy.
What about Luke Jackson, Cameron Ramsay and that man Rattray - will they be back in 2007 not to mention some handy two's players like Dom Russo just itching for a regular berth. What will young O'Keefe do if he dont get back on the Bombers list surely he'd be a chance to head home to Kings Park also???
LATEST: GV star to coach Numurkah
By Steve King
October 31 2006
Shepparton News
Tatura star Linc Wellington will coach Murray Football League club Numurkah next season after the Blues pulled off a major recruiting coup this week.
Wellington, 27, signed with the club on Monday night after a decorated career with the Bulldogs.
"I've been thinking about coaching a fair bit,'' Wellington, who played 96 games with Tatura after making his debut in 2002, including the 2003 Goulburn Valley league premiership, said.
"It was a good offer and I'm pretty excited.''

I know a few blokes down at Kings Park that seem to be in the know - but you all know what 2nd and 3rd hand information is like? Saad would be crazy not to "jump" at a chance form essendon, but if that falls through, why wouldn't he stay at Seymour? They treat him like a God down there dont they?:)
We here plenty of talk about midfielders and forwards but who would be the top 5 ruckman and tall defenders in the GV?

Ahh... the old Saad Saad to Essendon thing ha popped its head up again.. Not going to happen chance, this rumour has being doing the runs for about 3 years now and nothing has happened, so why all of sudden are they going to take him. He is the most lazy footballer I have ever seen play. But he does have some freakish talent at times.

I highly doubt Singh would be playing at Seymour. They are known for recrcuiting hard working - value for $$$ players and i dont think Singh fits either category - do you?

The ky job certainly is an interesting one...weird actually. Ky is really keeping it in the family.playd with 2 of these guys before and id say paul burnett would be a fantastic coach but the GVL is a high level for him to begin his coaching career at. They will need to attract big name players to win matches and again for the 10th consecutive year i cant see this happening with the new coaches. Another losing season for ky looks on the cards but good luck to em and hope they prove me wrong. If they can get rid of that losing culture around the club then they may just start to do something correct.

Has some close mates at rochy but is still a favourite son at Elmore. Hard to see him leaving. Might be inclined to think twice though due to the fact that Ben Anderson and Ash Watson signed during the week. Have heard rumours of Elliot Bowen going to Shep Swans, anyone have the latest on him?

He is in his 50's but apparently very good with the youth and gets the most out of players.
Sounds like he'll need to be though as Kirby is almsot certainly on the move aswell.
Not sure if this is already reported.
But some good news for Tat however is that they have signed another ruckman (not sure of his name) from the Ballarat league. Apparently he goes alright and played in that leagues representative side this year.

Melbourne players from Tat signed at Red Hill in the MPNFL with ex Dog Brad Murphy and 2 Essendon District players.
Saad to stay at Seymour, only other option would be in the DVFL probably with Northcote or Heidelberg.
Tim Little is the player i believe as being touted as signing at Tatura. Interleague ruckman for the Ballarat and would be on the same level as Schottner and Kirby.
Seymour chasing Epping B&F winner Shane Jacobs, apparantley throwing a little bit of coin at him.
Norman to play footy in Melbourne.

Shepparton News
Euroa Football Club president Xavier Thomson has said the club is not ready to push the panic button, despite its failure to appoint a coach, nearly two months since the end of the Goulburn Valley Football League season.
Thomson, who was elected president of the Magpies for a fourth term earlier this week, said the search was still on for a replacement for David Gleeson.
"We can't wait for the right person to come along," Thomson said.
"We have to go out and get them.
"It's not going to be easy, but we think there's someone out there."
The Magpies were deep in negotiations with Travis Ryan up until a fortnight ago, before the former Tatura coach withdrew his interest for the position.
Despite their struggle to make an appointment, Thomson is confident the Magpies won't be behind the eight-ball.
"Pre-season has been mapped out," Thomson said.
"We're just waiting for someone to take the helm."
Meanwhile, Shepparton United is still searching for its replacement for Steve Hazelman.
Football manager Craig Blizzard said the Demons were not in a rush to make an appointment.
"We're still looking around," Blizzard said.
"We're not in a rush.
"It's a decision we've got to get right."

Shepparton News
The dismantling of Tatura's 2003 Goulburn Valley Football League premiership team is almost complete.
Of the 21 players who took the Bulldogs to glory a little more than three years ago, only two remain - Jason Dagger and Paul Kirby.
And there is no guarantee that Kirby will be wearing the red, white and blue next year, with a number of clubs keen to secure the big ruckman's signature.
Premiership heroes Linc Wellington, Jarrod Pollard and Lee Warnett all played with the Bulldogs this year, but will play elsewhere next season, with Wellington to coach Numurkah, and Pollard and Warnett joining Tocumwal.
Interleague representative Michael Roberts, who was a member of the Bulldogs' losing grand final side in 2004, is also likely to depart.
Travis Ryan, who was captain on that glorious September afternoon, and coached the club for the past two seasons, is expected to have no involvement in footy next year.
"There were a few at the end of their careers," Ryan said of the 2003 line-up.
"There was also a couple out of Melbourne.
"But it's a big turnover.
"We lost 15 after 2004 (when Tatura lost the grand final to Mansfield)."
Ryan said the Bulldogs were in a tough situation when he was appointed coach last year, following the departure of premiership mentor Danny Stevens.
"No doubt," Ryan said.
"We worked hard to try and build it back up."

Ahh, the Pertile brothers. That is gold!:thumbsu: . From memory one of the boys got cancer at a young age, although I could be mistaken.
Would have been great to see a lot of the former SDJFL players go onto better things in the GV. Some of the stars fade away (or don't grow anymore), and some of the lesser lights blossom.
Whatever happened to that mate of your's from Kilmore, Leigh McCraigh (spelling?). Came good by u/15s, but I never heard anything more of him in football circles.
Some other stars from juniors, some of whom have gone onto GV or other:
Jeff Roscoe (Seymour Demons); Abbott (Kilmore); JJ (Kilmore); Dunn (Broadford); Hilton x 2 (Euroa); Hall (Broadford/Wallan); Francis Peva (Broadford); Petering (Seymour Lions); Jacavou (Broadford - lightening!); Stu Inness (Broadford - spelling?

I think you mean Stu Denness. He was playing with Seymour a few seasons back (the Johnny Mac era I think) but did his knee and last I recall was back at Broady.
James Rudd was another who was an absolute freak as a junior but just lost interest
Jono Solomon was no good as a youngster but won a Morrison. The Clydesdales excellent juniors but struggled in junior ranks. Darren Comi could play a bit as well

as far as gun SDJFL juniors go, although i think he may have only played until the end of u13s, Tom Lyons from St. Marys was an out and out freak
of the guys i played against, jesse silver from broadford bought up his 100 goals for the season one year in round 12 and luke gilliland from euroa was a star. dunno where any of them ended up.
My mail is that Bowen is a good chance to play at the swans, a lot depends on employment and this is a good chance of being sorted out.
Hows this one too, i nearly fell off my chair when i heard it, Singh may be playing amateurs, with seymour still in the mix.
Doona, your question on the VFL thread, my tip, hinkley.
Ta mate, was told last night it was an AFL assistant time will tell.
Jono Solomon was no good as a youngster but won a Morrison. The Clydesdales excellent juniors but struggled in junior ranks. Darren Comi could play a bit as wellI remember all those names from high school comps. Not as footballers but as atheletes. They were natural juimpers and runners thus seymour use to dominate the high school aths comps back then. Especially Comi.

Has anyone heard on what ex Carlton player Justin Davies is up to. I would of thought the local clubs would be keen to have talks with him

Chris Mills and Rory Hilton were the two best SDJFL footballers Grandale saw. Quite amazing given Bustling Barry and Jason Johnson graduated through the ranks at around the same time.
Have to be on the money there Grandale.

Tommy Lyons went to Geelong Grammar if I recall correctly, and he played for Geelong Falcons, then played for Geelong in the VFL, and the last I saw him play was with Werribee in 2004. Not sure what he's up to now.
Good player and top fella.

Comi was kicking bags of goals for senior seniors whilst still eligible for u/16s. I don'y know what happened to him after his seymour days.:thumbsu:
Started up an old Seymour DJFL thread lads, jump on there as this talk may pi$$ a few GV lads off a bit :thumbsu:

I don't know why Bowen would want to play for the Swans. He came to Rochy at the start of the year because of his friendship with the Bendigo boys, especially Schmidt.
Next year, Rochy should improve significantly with Ben Anderson, Ash and Mark Watson, Carl Moon and Brad Major all returning.
Very odd.

Elsewhere is that Maher , Mc Carty , White , Bulleen , Statham , Ryan etc etc etc etc
I think that you would find that Bullen has already left the swans mate and wont be playing in the GV for the next 2 seasons.

Is Millsy trying to get $$$ out of the Maggies or something, he'd be loving all this publicity I reckon :p

The Shepp Swans offer is not based around money entirely. They are trying to get him a job with the marketing/advertising department at the Shepp News.
I think the president Knaggs and Cheryl Hunter have pretty strong links with McPherson Media. Apparently if they get him the job he will play at Swans.
Also, I think the talk of Benny Anderson signing is very premature. He's only been working in the mines in WA for a couple of weeks. He's no definite to go back at the moment.

Fair enough.
Has some close mates at rochy but is still a favourite son at Elmore. Hard to see him leaving. Might be inclined to think twice though due to the fact that Ben Anderson and Ash Watson signed during the week. Have heard rumours of Elliot Bowen going to Shep Swans, anyone have the latest on him?
Believe Ash Watson and Ben Anderson have signed with Rochy today
Both are pretty good sources I reckon.

No it doesnt at all a.k.a... He struggles to contain himself on the sunday afternoon sips, to the point I had to purchase him KFC on the way home last week. This week should be a biggie though as I have the Monday off so will be looking to kick on from the lawn.

I'm not saying they aren't and I think there is a good chance he will go back there. But from what I know he hasn't signed or agreed to anything yet.
