how many fellas did you get to training last night bloodhound????
Last night was just a bit of a get together and a run. 15 blokes ran a few laps of the lake and had a bit of a kick. Training will begin in earnest Tuesday next week with another session on Thursday and a BBQ, then xmas break then back into it full on in early Jan.
Apparantly 2 new faces there last night no word if they are signed players or just having a train.
What a crap post!
Is that all you can say? Very intelligent. I guess you are entitled to an opinion.
I have from very good authority before the game the man was extremely confident that his side would win. So I am just stating the facts sorry for even saying anything.
Any news recruiting down south doona

Doona is there any thruth to the rumour that loyal supporter ''David Green'' could be performing at Broadford home games in a Straunie type role for the club!! Some pundits believe that this could double or even triple home game gates for the Roos in 2007!!.

The chicken man will have a role around the club of some description, think he is one of the gate boys, but Im sure any home game after about half time he's usually primed for a display of some sort.

Speaking to Hayesy last night and I think he'll be staying at elmore next year.
Talkin to a mounts bloke on the weekend, said they have a new 2's coach who played seniors at square and is gonna play at mounts too. Can anyone confirm who it is? Also big news down at saint land with Tim Gleeson rumoured to be thinking of donning the boots again after long term injury.

emu, think maybe you should have a look in your own back yard. you say a few grounds ain't much chop but tooleen isn't the greatest either pal. drought or no drought
Yeah fair call Andy i think, for a club that is reasonable well financial off i think sometimes they would be better off spending a bit of Mary's money on there ground/change rooms but it's there choice how they spend it i spose and good luck to them, but most dominent clubs in most leagues do generaly have the best facilities, not Mounts!

Mounts only play at the Toolleen, it's not there ground to do as they please with, all up grades would have to go through the toolleen rec reserve committee (from what i hear isn't that easy) and i know our ground isn't the best in the league but i don't think it's the worst, and why would we want money spent on the visitors change rooms? they only get used 8 times a year.

Yer good news for the Dogs I heard he may bring a few more with him too which will add some depth to the list. Retaining Smyth and Maloney will be a neccessity for the Dogs if they are too push to make the finals.
The Smyth to White Hills rumour hasn't gone away yet either.

Same person told me Smythe spoke to white hills last week and also spoke to north. Smythe has thrown his job in and told north that they have to find him a job to keep him at north, I dare say he told the same thing to white hills and he does not play for nothing either!!!
A bloke of 37 y.o should know better!!!

Not long term, no doubt clubs will try and get a few blokes on permits until the BFL kicks off. Reckon there'd be a few blokes in the BFL who like the $$$$$ that have already looked into a few extra match payments until their comp kicks off.
Yeah sounds bout right Conrad, hopefully they can get up over Jezza! Broady will be good witrh Gillard, Webby and co still running around (if not cannons) and if Doona doesnt want them in the 1s
Gilard and webby are to old for under 17s and Gilard is the only person from Broadford at cannons, don't know where you heard that webby is there. Broadford under 17s wont even fill a side next year with only 5 players not too old from the premiership side still playing (Nash, walsh, A.hibbet only gun players still eligable) Most of the players from Broadford under 15s are going to play at kilmore under 16s next year or so they say. so if they do there wont be many players for the under 17s next year

Sounds like a good day out for you Cats boys whats the format?
At this stage the league thinks they can stay on schedule with the possibility of playing games saty- sunday. it is thought Elmore, Colbo and possibly White Hills can be up and running which would be enough.
If players are thinking of starting the year in the HDFL they must get cleared as they are unable to step from a major league back to a minor on permits. Permits are allowed for minor league listed players playing with major league clubs.
If there is no BFL in the early rounds and it saty/sunday it could mean for some pretty big gates i'd think which would one positive out of a negative situation.

Day usually involves starting at the Locky Hotel around 10 am, Late comers get shots as penalties.
Teams are split by zones or family/ friends ties ie - Bamawm = Bamawm Ext, Rochy ... And Locky - Pinegrove -Tennyson & both usually get Echuca players.
From memory last year was $35 all you can drink & bbq must have VB in hand while playing and only a 3 step run up for the bowler in a limited overs fixture. I think there was about 25 per side last year so gaps in the field are hard to find :D
Team that fields second are usually disadvantaged as no one is in any condition ( and can't be stuffed ) to field.
Then back to Locky Hotel for team photos/song and presentations.
Usually held Xmas eve day but given Xmas a Monday this year it is held on Saturday which will make quite a few family's happy as this day has ruined xmas lunch for quite a few.
Anyway.. lots of fun and nudity ( males unfortunately) and bashing of the outgoing batsmen.
Think official scorers are on the cards this year to try curb Locky Lingo's cheating.
Banter may have a training run at Locky Hotel tonight :D

Yeah not a good turn out but its really not the right week to try and have everyone there and im sure bluey understands that the week leading up to xmas is a very busy 1 but he was just giving any guys who had the time the opportunity to train.

Popped in at training down here at roo land last night and noticed quite some handy numbers on the track, 38 was the count with two players watching from the side lines, taking the total number of players to have trained down here passed the 55 mark in the first seven sessions. Doon has given the players time off ove rthe festive season with training due to start back in early January I believe.:thumbsu:
Amongst the group training I noticed several faces that have returned to the club for the season and a few faces I've not seen before, but it look like Doon has got the nucleus for what could be side to be in finals contention.:)
Wok signing out for '06. All the best to everybody over the Holiday's.

54 players so far, a few of them thirds Wok but yeah repsonse has been good thus far. It means little this time a year though, but as long as the boys keep coming along when we return (Jan 17) we then can work at getting back into the top 5. Still no signings, plenty of enthusiastic young kids, a yeah a few locals returning, all in all has been totally Broadford boys which is great
Hopefully the lingo can pull it off in the local cricket match this weekend. should be a ripper of a match and my bet is on who ever bats first.!!

Young Matt is staying at Broadford, unfortunately didnt get onto Calder's list. Wouldn't stress though, he'll get some more experience with the senior boys and he'll play a higher standard one day I reckon.
What about the medal winner Cooman's does he look like making a TAC list.
having played with and against coomans this year, i dont think he will get on any TAC team's list. dont get me wrong, great player and well deserved league medal winner, killed it all year, but i dont think at his current skill level he would be able to make it onto a TAC list just yet. in particular, if his kicking improved and he works hard on it then he could go far in the game. not saying hes not a bad player but thats my opinion after playing with and against Matt this year.

Good footy player, good bloke. Stands out because he breaks tackles and runs it from the centre, He wont make it onto a TAC cup list untill he can do this in a major leage, GVFL. In the HDFL he has a bigger frame than most and can bust through the packs and alot of people were afraid to lay tackles on him, if Doona can keep him I'm sure he'll go well in the ever improving Broady side!

1) I believe the league might have an agreement with the roos that he doesn't play at the club again &
2) I'm not sure he would fit into new coach Nolan's plans.

Dunne spent time with the Dogs and North but I believe he was only on the supp list at North. It was when they were the Murray Kangaroos and had an alignment with the Ovens and Murray League and were playing some home games up that way.
Lock played about 20 senior games with a good one against West Coast one day.
Dennis Ryan was drafted to Geelong from Kyabram in the early 90's although didn't register a senior game.

Dunny was on the supplimentary list at the Bulldogs & played Kangaroos reserves, I'm pretty sure he never played an AFL senior game.

Wilson would be a good pick up they badly needed some quality through the midfield to create more chances for Manley and Ezard up forward and Wilson will do that he keeps himself in good nick. Has he committed or are they just talking to him?
wilson is staying at e/hawke as just a player non assistant.

Multiple BFL Rep is Ash Wilson you might be selling him short.
You would think Huntly would have to dig their heels in if Manley attempts to go to Elmore.

Not sure OTM, last time I was out Locky was the Lingo v Banter match, lets just say I was concentrating on footy talk.
do you all know how James Ezard got delisted from port adalaide well i heard a wisper that he is coming back to play at Broadford with two of his brothers Ben and Luke who have returned to the blue and white. Ben and Luke have both trained every pre-season training so far so they are definately playing. i've heard about 10 people mension it so he could be coming back. maybe hes a recruit that hasn't been said yet on bigfooty?
Where would manley fit in elmore's side? They already have a good forward line.

Heard James Ezard was staying in SA to play in the SANFL with possibly Norwood.

Rout is going overseas and Simon Cluff was said to be considering his options so that may be the logic behind trying to intice Nick.

Come on boys, Wilson is well past it these days. He would be better suited to the MCDFL or that hack of a league KDFL.

Let's be honest lads he may be 36/7 but he would still be a handy player in our league! Same with Manley, had an ok year last year in a weaker side, but if a bit fitter (10 kilos) would be a great pick up for any HDFL side! And by the big grin on Doona's face there's a good chance that Ezard may be coming back to Broady? Or there's something else in the pipeline that he's not saying? Is James Ezard any relation to the former Essendon champ Alan Ezard?

Jermery Brown has just taken up a job with Bendigo bank in South Melbourne, I can confirm that he has signed with doutta Stars in the EDFL along with Jarrod Kelly

Jimmy, Ben and Luke are all nephews of the Bomber champ, with a 4th brother Sam I think beginning 3rds this season. Club Stalwart Peter is Alan's brother and his son Jackson is stepping outa 3rds to open age in 2007 . . . . . the Ezard's are quite a prominent local footballing family.

i was trying to get the point across that maybe they should be focussing on recruiting younger blokes to the club instead of mid to late 30 year olds. i mean why not spend the money on a young bloke who is not gettin a go in the bfl, and hope he signs and stays for 4 or 5 years. even longer??

Point taken Pipy, the kids are the future of any club, but i'm not sure that spending a lot of money on people who can't get a game in the BFL is the way to go! Our leagues not that bad is it!:confused:

not at all bar fridge , its getting stronger definately. i might have coined the wrong phrase. when i said not getting a go in the bfl, i didnt mean two's players. i meant blokes in and out of the senior team. example is gavin bowles. was struggling to get a game at eaglehawk in the ones, wins a sam cheatley and has cemented a spot as a senior vfl footballer. sometimes kids just need to be given a real run, not on and off the bench, dropped every second or third week. it gives them no confidence whatsoever
