there are a few clubs , one in bendigo, that are trying to work out job arrangements to lure bowen.
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.
Shouldnt be that difficult pretty high turnover in the old print media advertising game.

A Bowen, Anderson, McPhee forward line could be a pretty potent set up for the tiges. Even if that doesn't work out Bowen has proven himself as a very good backman. Did the job on Singh when Rochy played Mooroopna at home.

Tank McPhee still playing again next year?
How old would he be now, he's a freak. Looks like he'll keep going to 400 games!

Mid 30''s i think. The bloke is amazing, had a great year last year and still puts most of the young blokes to shame. Always gets a good defender and is unreal bloke in general. Wouldn't be that far off 400, will play forever.
Tatura appoints new coach
November 2 2006
Shepparton News
Tatura has appointed former Norwood SANFL player Malcolm Noble as coach for the next two seasons.
Noble, who spent 2003 as assistant coach of West Adelaide, under former Adelaide and Hawthorn ruckman Sean Rehn, played more than 90 games with the Redlegs, alongside SANFL legends Garry McIntosh and Michael Aish.
He replaces Travis Ryan, who guided the Bulldogs for the past two seasons, in the top job.

Tusken I totally agree. It is pointless starting training so early. It takes only 6 weeks to get fit if you do things right.
Long way from the mark sorry to say jim carter and krakour barrell - my mail came from a source not tied to the GV Magpies, but from my former media circles. Still no one has confrimed or denied this rumour???
Why the sudden interest in my coaching appointment, who I have spoke to and more importantly haven't spoke to in Millsy's case. Was all keen to have a crack at him until that send off Grand Final day, in light of recent public perception Im not keen to attract thugs ;)
Ur a funny one doona!! U seem to offer an opinion on almost every footy topic, but when it comes to u and ur new coaching gig, u run a mile the other way!! I dont blame u! Ur keeping things close to ur chest and playing it smart!! But any 2 year old can tell u will be going after as many locals as u can for a crack at the flag. What coach wouldnt?!! Nothing wrong with telling us who's on ur wish list!!

Got it one Chance, am in the process of touching base with every local Broady bloke including those not playing with the Roos in a bid to get as many locals as possible back to the club.
My wish list is to put the finishing touches on our coaching dept. within the next fortnight, already have my C.O.S, runner, stats bloke and team manager committed, and now am waiting to sign our 2nd playing assistant coach.
I dont take rejection too kindly, which is why Im keeping quiet as everyone has kncoked me back :eek: Once we're satisfied with things I promise you'll be the first to know :thumbsu:

Lets say we're recruiting within our means. I speak with Robbie regularly as Ive followed his footy closely for years and play cricket with him, but he'd be mad to go back to minor league footy at his age when I reckon he should be trying out at a higher level (VFL club).
That said I doubt we could afford a TAC Cup/Vic Metro/2 x GV premiership player/Seymour B & F player in my wildest dreams!!!

Dirty Williams has been quoted in the shep news that he is in the same mould as a Shane Clayton. Very big shoes to fill now with words like that.
He (Watson ) had a great year in the #7 for the Roosters, big call re: Clayton but I do think he'll be a huge help to the Tigers midfield.
Seem's my mail on Gleeson to Euroa may have been off the mark as Euroa seem in no hurry to appoint. What about this one though - I have heard Daniel Sage may b heading down Geelong way in 2007 and what's the link between Seymour's Tim Hooper and the newly appointed Wallan coach who reckon's he can Hoops to Greenhill Reserve to play DVFL Div2 in 2007 :confused:

Absolute JET mate,
Was at his best in 2005 in a pretty handy Euroa side.
Got a good turn of pace for a stocky fella and can roost the Sherrin a fair way.
Kicked a ripper goal in the 05 GVFL grand final .. won it out the middle ran his quota and bombed it home.
Struggled a bit with injury and from what i'm told a lack of desite this season.
Was contemplating not playing at all before the season started.
Would be a very handy pick up for any side .. just watch out for the underage drinking though .. he's a copper.

The term 'gun' is a little bit over used these days, however I think you could safely pin this label on Sage. Up there with the best on-ballers in the GV and would be a great pick up for any club I reckon.

Can confirm that Sage is all but signed with Barown Heads down Geelong way for next year. Will be a massive loss for Euroa in the midfield. His booming lefft foot got us out of trouble many times. The money offer down that way is just to good in the end.
Cant see Tim Hooper playing for Wallan next year.

He is a fair player and averages about 25 touches a game and about 1 goal a week. Anyhwere from 70m he will make the distance easily. Im pretty sure he will be stationed in Melbourne and travelling down to play at Barown Heads. From memory he kicked 2 great goals in the 05 grand final. One a set shot from 65m that went through goal post height and the other a 60m punt on the run that went through goal post height. Will surely be lost in magpies midfield along with Gibson, Gilliland, Marshall, Hilton and the possibility of Stott moving on as well.

Yeah Barwon Heads seems right.. they play in the Bellarine FL which is considered to be the second best league in the region behind the GFL. Will easily dominate that comp because solid players in the GFL dominate the BFL!

Not sure where you are going with this one Doona. Are you suggesting that the Tigers midfield is ordinary? Watched them a bit and certainly don't believe this is where the trouble lies. They now have a ruck combination of Brennan and Anderson which would rival ANY team in the comp.They have GV interleague reps in Aitken (Great player), Schmidt (Best and Fairest winner) and Moon (Last year's Best and Fairest). They also have Scott Hann, a very good young player who was Runner Up in the Best and Fairest. Chuck in Watson and the possibility of McCarty coming back, a player that Steve Daniels rates as one of the top three in the comp and i reckon they would be looking at a fair midfield. Their backline is where the problems are.
Away at the moment but heard the rumblings at the Saints are about to come to a head. Anyone able to enlighten me.

Hope you're not putting words in my mouth there just signed, was just saying that from what I saw when I attended Roosters games that Watson will be a very handy addition . . . . at no point was I trying to suggest anything about the capabilities of the Tigers midfield.
Former servants bolster Rochester's ranks
November 8 2006
Shepparton News
Rochester's active off-season has continued with the Goulburn Valley Football League club confirming the signings of former players Ash Watson and Ben Anderson.
Watson, who played with the Tigers prior to be taken at pick 14 in the 2001 AFL draft by the Kangaroos, finished third in North Ballarat's best and fairest after being delisted at the end of last year.
While Anderson, who was a member of Rochester's losing grand final teams in 2001 and 2002, has spent the past two seasons with West Perth in the WAFL.
The signings are good news for a Rochester line-up that missed finals action for the first time in a decade this year.
"Ash is a good running player who I would compare with Shane Clayton,"
Rochester coach David Williams said.
"He has plenty of stamina and is hard at it."
Where Anderson lines up will depend on the Tigers' recruiting, according to Williams.
"He can play key position and in the ruck," Williams said.
However, a question mark remains on the future of Elliott Bowen.
"He's got a few job interviews in different spots," Williams said.
"He's a fantastic player.
"We'd like to keep him and show him what our club is all about."

Not good news bulldog and probably has something to do with their recruiting practices over many years. They have a long history of not just buying players but also paying well over what most other clubs would offer. This sort of strategy may provide a quick fix but usually ends in tears. (I can see Mooroopna heading down the same track IMO).

yeah its pretty much exactly how u have said it. club go in around 3 or 4 yr periods. u cant be up the top all the time.we will struggle for a while now i think. mooroopna will be up there this yr and maybe next but then will drop off again.
Heard along the grapevine that lachie watts of seymour said he would go and play at broadford next season if he got $400 a game, a bit steep for someone who plays 2s at Seymour.

Think you might be stretching it a bit there LOBSTER. I can't really recall his first goal, but his goal on the run only just cleared the pack and looked as though it might nearly have been touched. I agree with you though, he is a massive kick and doesn't lose a lot of accuracy when he sinks the boot into it.

From what I hear they are just making sure they get the right bloke.
Big shoes to fill and they want to make sure they can take the next step - which is obviously a preliminary final.
They've set their sights pretty high - they have to fill the void left by Hazelman as a player and a coach - and it's pretty tough to get that with one person. I'm sure it won't be too far away, but I don't expect a decision within the next week.

Return on cards
There are reports a current Picola District Football League coach may be about to return to one of his former clubs.
Going elsewhere
A highly-decorated Goulburn Valley Football League ruckman could be about to depart the league, and no, it's not Paul Kirby.
Keen to depart
On a similar theme, the drum beats indicate that one of the Goulburn Valley Football League's leading bigmen - with plenty of good football left in him - is eager to leave the club he's known from junior days.
Successor close
The Goulburn Valley league's reigning premier, Seymour, is on the cusp of announcing Steve Daniel's successor.
All under control
Despite the delay in replacing Steve Hazelman, Shepparton United - we are assured - has it all under control and will soon announce the name of its new chief.

A highly-decorated Goulburn Valley Football League ruckman could be about to depart the league, and no, it's not Paul Kirby.
Keen to depart
On a similar theme, the drum beats indicate that one of the Goulburn Valley Football League's leading bigmen - with plenty of good football left in him - is eager to leave the club he's known from junior days.
Successor close
The Goulburn Valley league's reigning premier, Seymour, is on the cusp of announcing Steve Daniel's successor.
All under control
Despite the delay in replacing Steve Hazelman, Shepparton United - we are assured - has it all under control and will soon announce the name of its new chief.
Journo's are always forgiven for writing the wrong stuff anyway so why didnt they come out and just name the people in the rumours
Heard along the grapevine that lachie watts of seymour said he would go and play at broadford next season if he got $400 a game, a bit steep for someone who plays 2s at Seymour. But i did see Lachie and the new broadford coach having a long chat after the cricket on saturday i wonder if they were talking about that.
Who is this gta3 character? Lachy Watts would be more than welcome - his dad was a much respected premiership player at Broady in the 70's so he does have ties to the club.
The $400 was never mentioned and would never be offered - the conversation was quite casual after cricket more along the lines of inquiring what his club (Seymour) were up to and if he can crack a regular senior game in 2007.

McFarlane gone and looking at replacement from ex coaches Pasquali or Cooper (Brenton) or Wang Rovers legend Robbie Walker
Has that definitely been confirmed or only rumour bout mcfarlane? Surely a gf birth was a good effort. Thought he loved the saints and was really keen to continue coaching.

Some how there must be bigger issues at the bottom of all the Mcfarlane talk. A grand final birth is usually good enough to keep the job
[QUOTE=Doona2;6194666]He (Watson ) had a great year in the #7 for the Roosters, big call re: Clayton but I do think he'll be a huge help to the Tigers midfield.
Not sure where you are going with this one Doona. Are you suggesting that the Tigers midfield is ordinary? Watched them a bit and certainly don't believe this is where the trouble lies. They now have a ruck combination of Brennan and Anderson which would rival ANY team in the comp.They have GV interleague reps in Aitken (Great player), Schmidt (Best and Fairest winner) and Moon (Last year's Best and Fairest). They also have Scott Hann, a very good young player who was Runner Up in the Best and Fairest. Chuck in Watson and the possibility of McCarty coming back, a player that Steve Daniels rates as one of the top three in the comp and i reckon they would be looking at a fair midfield. Their backline is where the problems are.
perhaps jumped the gun a little bit on doona there just signed but your point is well made. the defence certainly seems to be the main problem, without seeing any games this year there seemed to be some big scores kicked against them. a backline that once read: s.rasmussen, n.roulston, a.o'brien changed to: (u/18 player), a.pappin, (reserves grade player) in the space of 3 or so years. that said, if they could possibly entice bowen to stay on next year it'd mean you'd have 3 key forwards (along with benny and tank), meaning there'd be no need to play oliver or whitsed forward. all of the sudden you have 3 key (not brilliant but capable) defenders in oli, whits and pappin. throw in mark watson and carl moon (who are apparently returning to tigerland) and things start to look ok. not to mention jimmy loughman (small defender/wingman) who didn't play much this year if at all.
they may not be vying for the flag again just yet but if a couple of cards go their way and injuries barring of course, a top 6 finish at the very least could be expected.
for as long as I can remember rochy have lacked reserve grade depth (possibly '04 the exception) ie. always seems to be a big gap between the 18th and 19th best player. for some reason it seems this trend will forever continue, however it certainly would be a great thing for the club if it could get back to the pre '04 days where these fringe-type players have to earn their spot in the senior team.

Boss, hows the partying going in the house, any classic stories.
Is the big man pavva, going to start rumours again about playing footy.
You got to let the Hawke know of all of this.
Finally, how were the races. Should have been a blast for sure.
Is it true that Tim Stillman will be coaching the Euroa Magpies next year, I heard he did a pretty good presentation to the club the other day.

Coach of echuca was announced probably two weeks ago. Orr, their former star ruckman and league medalist got the gig.

Cowman is a pretty handy player but not in the best 3 ruckmen in the league IMO. My best 3 would be Porter, Kirby & Schottner. Then you have Brennan, Clarke, Harrop, Jones and Cowman fighting for the 4th spot. Of course this also doesn't include Trent Hotton as I class him more of a ruck rover even though he does his fair share of the ruck duties.

Pretty good summation there jmain, I'd say Rochester would be more than competitive if they had a forward line of McPhee, Anderson and Bowen, whilst throwing Whitsed & Oliver to the key positions down back. If Rochy could keep Bowen, then the addition of Anderson will make a huge difference. It only takes a couple of decent big blokes in defence to make the job easier on the others and some could blossom with "easier" jobs.
Oliver was playing pretty well as a forward a few years ago, but I reckon it's easier to turn a natural forward into a defender than vice verca. There's a lot of flexibility too, as both those players are more than capable up forward, and Anderson can run in the ruck. Pretty sure Oliver could too if needed to.
Having said all that, Bowen will be pretty important to keep. He's a good player.

i wouldnt say that kirbz is in the league anymore.he will me playing with linc at numerka or goin to the O&M.but yeah there are definantly some premier big men in our comp. schottner is probably the stand out for me. and on hotten yeah he is more a a ruck rover!
osborne captaining mooroopna is a rumour i have heard. i would be shattered to see brad not do it he is definantly the leader of the playing group!

Not much has been said about the anouncement of Stephen Orr as the coach for Echuca. I have heard all about his credentials but will he suit Echuca?
Does anyone know if they have picked uop any past players or new players to the club? Heard a rumour that Kristian Height might be returning?

Also heard a whisper that Grainger could follow Gilliland, but didn't pay too much attention to it at the time. I guess he would try and take a couple of players with him, but wonder how many are likely to go?

think someones got there wires crossed there bulldog, couldnt get a more geniune bloke than Laurie Casey. Is Joffa Berry still doin a bit on the bench? Between him and Laurie they should have enough to get it right. Lookin forward to Finny speak, he can be fiery little prick that I wouldnt like to be on the other end of. Have he spoke to Dion Ciavola? arent him and finny mates.
Ky still need some tall timber, for Ky to be alright Josh Dicketts and Leigh Ryall are musts, both in the mix at the moment. Is Finny mate Craig Nunn playin again?
