a couple of weeks ago in the local seymour paper an article about the lions mentioned that recruiting a big man would be a priority of theirs this year. has there been any success on this front? would steele of uni blues, a seymour boy who seems to have acquitted himself well in the amatuers, be a worthwhile target or would the lions be looking at something abit more upmarket?

You're right sparra, it does take a little more time, especially to find new posts in various leagues. It could be a good thing though if you get a few different threads in each league, like in the GV board there's an U18 thread etc. and a couple of others I think. Also, once the season starts it may work well as various threads may pop up under the league board.
I think they'll give it a bit more time though. It may just be a case of getting used to it, seeing the different leagues boards from the main board is certainly one good thing.

I wouldn't say Euroa choked last year, they just couldn't get an injury free team for enough games. They only just missed out in one of the most even seasons for years.

You have to be kidding alley cat ! Seymour played most of last years home and away rounds missing anywhere from 3 to 4 top line players each week from injury. People need to stop finding excuses for teams like Euroa which i agree did have there fair share of injuries. Maybe a little less "infighting" , a bit more ticker and stop recruiting "hasbeen - NEVERWERE " players like Rory Hilton who gave them nothing.

Yeah fair enough Zero, i just have a bit of a soft spot for Euroa being the smallest town in the GVL and don't mind them being successfull.

I don't disagree with your comments regarding club's internal issues, Zero, nor do I disagree with the need to cease excuses.
One of the issues on these forums, however, is the slandering of players (Hilton in the above example). A strong view to have him as a player who never was. From memory, Hilton was one of the outstanding under 18 players even when he only played a few games in the TAC cup due to injury. I think Brisbane even drafted him in the knowledge that he had undergone a knee reconstruction. At Richmond, Hilton, when not injured, was in the best players almost every game one year (02 or 03 maybe?). For natural talent, possibly one of the better players around. Many unfortunate injuries I think.
You may have an experience playing on Hilton, and maybe in that instance you didn't find him too hard as an opponent. That sort of experience might be worth a comment. I think it's a bit harsh though, to say these guys never were. Anyone who can even make a club list has to be a very good player. To stay in the system for 6 to 8 years and be amongst the better players, they'd need to be even better.
Did Hilton give nothing to Euroa? I don't know. I'd imagine he'd offer some good experience on the track, some super tough examples on the field, and some positive influence on the juniors coming up through the under 18s.

Some very insightful writing above krakour.
the subject of recruits vs local players continues to pop up. in the case of mooroopna, maybe they needed to look after their locals instead of recruiting outsiders who now appear to be leaving anyway. now locals like neville and co are also leaving so what has the club achieved. they have lost disheartened locals and money guzzling recruits. seymour is one of the few clubs to have got it right. paid for recruits they needed but also kept locals happy. to win senior and reserves granny is a massive effort.
but it is hard to get the mix right, and i think most clubs get it wrong year after year. if you are not careful you end up like tonny, now in new league and i think ky are not far behind them. if they only win a couple of games, which appears likely, they may be looking for a new league also. is euroas predicament as bad as some aree saying or are they travelling ok??

A mate of mine in the GV area said he was talking to one of the Ky coaches and he said they are very light on in the recruit stakes. The coach said two things that worried him, 1 being that their big recruits are from lower leagues and 2 that he was talking up the reserves side. Once you start talking about the reserves ability, i think you are resigned to the fact that the senior team has a long year ahead of them.
As for being demoted Dog, think that might be a long way off. Obviously have money as they dont appear to be spending any.

Went well at Rochester last year and is saddling up there again in 07.

It's not a highly feasible at all to guess that the club received cash from an inheritance. It's putting 2 & 2 together and getting 5. It's as feasible as saying they won the lottery. Did Seymour receive a huge inheritance a couple of years ago as well?
I don't think Euroa has lost that many high profile recruits, other than Rory Hilton and Shannon Gibson.

To be talking up your reserve side is not always a bad thing, for 1 it keeps the pressure on your bottom players in your senior side it can also help with building moral and structure in your football club which Ky need to do to be a force again. Ok so it might be a long year for them but with such a young list they need to have direction and if it is building their 3rd and 2nd sides at least when they finally turn their fortune around they will have a strong club not just a strong recruited senior side.

Ok so it might be a long year for them but with such a young list they need to have direction and if it is building their 3rd and 2nd sides at least when they finally turn their fortune around they will have a strong club not just a strong recruited senior side.
I agree. It might not mean their senior side will play finals this year but it's a step in the right direction. It helps build a positive culture and gives the people around the club plenty of hope for the club in years to come. With more depth they are going to be competitive in more games this year and help them attract more recruits and locals back next year.

[QUOTE=TuskenRaider;6711184]It's not a highly feasible at all to guess that the club received cash from an inheritance. It's putting 2 & 2 together and getting 5. It's as feasible as saying they won the lottery. Did Seymour receive a huge inheritance a couple of years ago as well? QUOTE]
I won't name who the inheritance came from, because i'm not sure if it's common knowledge, but i was told when working in the GV.
The amount was generous, but not enough to pay an entire playing list for two years.
Obviously the money helped the club out, but there were no doubt other sources of income.
Hopefully the Pies were smart with it and it hasn't dried up all ready, because i think the guy who left it to them would be very disappointed if it didn't have a long term positive impact on the club.
Hopefully Euroa can continue to be a competitive side in the GV.
It makes for a far better competition when the smaller towns are competing with the big guns.
Obviously that takes money to top off the local talent .. (unless your Rochester of course) .. but some clubs do take it to far and neglect local players, which is of long term detrement to the club

You don't have to name who the inheritance is supposed to have come from, most people who have heard this rumour will know who the person was. They had a fair bit to do with the league over the years and no doubt this is a reason the rumour started and persisted.
You say you heard the rumour whilst working in the GV, why does this mean the rumour is true? You talk of this money like it is a fact, not a rumour. Do you know for sure it is true? Or was it just the talk around the traps after Euroa made the GF not too long after the person you speak of died?
If I were going to leave money to a football club, I'd do it on condition it be used for capital improvements. Which in this case is why I struggle to believe the rumour.

When is Porter due to start training with benalla
I recall a meeting held in late 2005 when it was bought up that at least 3 clubs would struggle to compete in the coming years unless something was done in relation to a salary cap, Euroa being one on top of a good year on the ground.

Are you sure that wasn't regarding the "points system" which was being talked about at the time? The issue was raised earlier this year or late last year again. Salary caps do not work anywhere below the AFL. There are too many ways to get around them.
I think you'll find that clubs like Euroa, Benalla and a couple of others(Mansfield? Seymour?) don't agree with the principle of the points system and that they would struggle to compete if that system was used in the GVFL.

Yeah, Cyndi Lauper had it so right when she said "money changes everything". If only the likes of Anna Nicole Smith hadn't used their inheritence to finance their blow habbits, they might be in a better position today (please excuse me for making reference to someone who has passed on in tragic circumstances).
The discussion around Euroa's potential inheritance is interesting and worthy of discussion on a forum, but does read like a New Weekly column - plenty of whispers, not much fact.
A great gesture IF someone in the area pushed some money to a sporting club. Difficult to believe though, that you would allow your "hard earned" to be thrown solely at recruits rather than infrastructure, if indeed you did make that gesture. Although, IF money was passed on, it may well be plausible that the spending was left to the club and its committee.
One could only hope that if Euroa ever does come across a big bag of money, they would direct some funds to those lights around the oval - terrible! Actually, a few dollars left over could also be pushed to Spindal - the whippet could do with a trip to the Barber......

Yes TR you may be right on the point system scheme but I do believe that it was still a case of some clubs being unable to compete against the more financial clubs throwing out big $$$. One club already gone under that pressure.:(

Yes, but there is a massive difference in the argument that certain clubs were worrried about competing due to too high a player wage bill or a prohibitive points system stopping them bringing players to the club.
I don't have any problem with no salary caps in local football. Let the clubs self-govern and operate within their means. There will still be pressure to raise dollars, but the club must pay their way.
Very sad to see what happened to Tongala, but Tonny made Euroa, Tatura and Rochester look like Metropolis.

Did Hilton give nothing to Euroa? I don't know. I'd imagine he'd offer some good experience on the track, some super tough examples on the field, and some positive influence on the juniors coming up through the under 18s.[/quote]
You obviously didnt see many games

You're correct, News Leak, in that I did not see many games of Euroa in 2006, hence why I don't know what Hilton gave to Euroa. Notwithstanding, I would stand by my imagination, and back Hilton to have offered quite a bit to the club. Positive influences to the juniors and experience at training I would confidently back. Tough examples on the field is a hard one to guess at without seeing too many games, although I'd be relatively confident that Rory would have held his own in the tough stakes.
Are you suggesting by the above statement that Hilton's on-field performances (that you saw) gave nothing to the club? And please, take this as a question for my interest in GV football, not a dig at your opinion (not interested in getting into any of the on-line arguments on this site).
