Went to Broady V Huntly, good first half only a goal in it but the Roos were much fitter and ran all all over the Hawks in the last half.I thought Dunne was BOG but he got reported a will probably get a holiday.I think Huntly have Ezard , Billings & Geary to come back in but take nothing away from Broadford they were way too good.

Thought the Hawks were exceptional til half time R U SERIOUS but obviously missed they key players above mentioned. Yeah Dunney was good as was John Taylor on debut, and young Luke Ezard (#33) was impressive in his return home.

Sam Frawly go back to mounts 3rds. Matt Bongiovanni dislocated his elbow, Cal Randall got stretchered off with a knee problem and Liam Main dislocated his hip. All going to Melb during the week to get looked at. Roo Byrne also came off with a hamstring problem (his "good" hammy) but got it strapped and came back on and ended up with 4 goals. Lockys goal kicking let them down leading at the main break 5.10 to 5.5.

i watched the match heathcote dominated all day leading by 7 goals at 3 quarter time but let elmore back in with a chance in the last quarter. There are some very average players getting paid big money at elmore that did very little on saturday

Any chance of naming those players Mr hdfs? From what i've been told elmore had about 20 ordinary players all day. Apparently new recruits schubert and kay played pretty well also did longford get reported twice?

Both sides sufferred from poor kicking for goal. Locky in the first half and us in the second half. Was a really hard fought game.

I didn't actually notice how many free kicks he gave away to be honest. He will get better with each run and should kick a power of goals for us again

Not too bad Kid, apart from the 100 metre penalty that i gave away in the second quarter, but not a bad first game. Hopefully with a few more games under the belt i may get a bit fitter

any news of unrest at broadford? i heard afew lil rumours
A comfortable 100 point win to kick off the season doesnt bode well for your rumours there van, and by Doona's reports there flying on the track.
Do feel free to fill us in on what you've heard though, possibly a little more specific to where, who or why there would be any so called "unrest"
Any other standout performances from the weekend, must have been a fair effort by the Saints to knock off last years Grand Finallists, and rumours of a Colbo revival are gathering steam, they have an awesome forward line on paper, will take some stopping!

You tell me Van, I thought it may have been the case down your way as I believe I saw a lot of Kilmore people at our game to watch Rowey, I dont know of any unrest though but please let me know what you've heard :thumbsu:

Good effort first up, elmore may have had a few out but need to improve if going to make inroads on mounts, Fevleki is wasted across half back, when moved up the ground late nearly got his side home after being 6 goals down at 3 quarter time.
Heathcote look like a good young side had about 15 locals in the side, Waters didnt play and have a strong backman to come in as well

Whats the verdict on huntlys chris long (#18) doona? he was named as huntlys best, a fair effort considering it was his first senior game, is he worth the big bucks reports have that he is getting paid?

Yer they give the Lodden Valley the short back and sides in 2003 and when the LV withdrew they successfully took on the Lexton Plains for a couple of years. There was no game last year but I think the league is keen to re kindle it given a suitable opponent.

The kid looked ok for sure - kicked two quick ones in the 2nd which made us react, but from where I was sitting I thought Ad Campbell and Stevie Clohesy were best

It surprises me that Featherstone can't get a game in the Pioneers side. he's a fair lump of a kid, takes a good mark and seems to be skillful enough. Maybe someone from saints land could comment?
Meldrum will be a very good player whether he's at CHF or Ruck.
Heathcote's fwd line looks fairly handy:
Waters, Meldrum, Featherstone, and small forward Hancock sniffing around the crumbs. Throw Tommy Tobin in there on occasions and the sainters will kick some good scores this year :thumbsu:
on the Interleague thing - why don't the HDFL approach the Picola league or the Kyabram District comp? Is there a spare weekend for an Interleague game in our comp this year?
Doon, you'd be wrapped with John Taylor's start with the club kicking 10. Is Adrian 'Dipper' Wilson going to play for you guys this weekend - he will add some strength to roos half back line, in what should be a cracker of a game against the Bloods.

Have known in the past King where video evidence has been provided to the tribunal and resulted in a player being found not guilty of the charge, but club had to supply television and video with slow motion, so that members could see the incident on several occasions and at differing speeds.
Must agree with Doona that Adam Campbell and Steve Clohesy were the best players in the brown and gold on the weekend, but thought that young Long would've been in the best three for the Hawks.

i am not sure if you were watching all game but you have to be kidding about steven clohesy being in the best? i thought he was well down on his usual standards.. i think the return of garry moulday this week will boost there (huntly's) spirits and forward line..

did watch it hitlar, thought Huntly were very good til half time and thats when Clohesy and Campbell got most their imporant touches in the middle and going into your Fwd 50 - so I stand by my sentiments that both were important to the scoreline at half time.

Taylor's 10 lifts Roos
by Matt Nicholls
TEN goals to Broadford Football Club’s recruit John Taylor was the springboard for victory at Harley Hammond Reserve on Saturday.
Against Huntly, the Roos kicked 20 second-half goals to destroy the Hawks by 113 points.

I have heard of only 3 good players at huntly Clohesy, Longy, Geary is there anyone else that can have an impact on a game from huntly because if they don't i'm predicting a similar year to last having little success.
Who would be favorites at the moment for the flag? Heathcote or Mounts?

It's only very early in the piece but in what shapes as a very even year I'd have Colbo a slight favourite and I wouldn't jump off Elmore yet they got rolled by 3 points played a large proportion of Saturdays game with 17 and were without a host of regulars.

yea there is a bloke there with the name of garry moulday..i have been watching this bloke alay and he is very big and tough. i really thinkonce he comes back there forward line will improve about 8 goals a game. i happened to see scouts watching him ai south bendigo a few years ago. just keep an eye out him cob..

Hey hitlar, how many games can you get to on one day?? Very hard to get to Broadford to watch the HDFL then back to watch Charlton play. Steven (Tony Mokbel) Closhey was by far the best on ground.

Heathcote beat Colbo in a practice match by 5 goals but Colbo still looked very handy. Who are the "host of regulars" still to come back into elmores team i've been told by a very good source there is only 2 players

I'm starting to think you don't like us mounts boys OTM, i thought you might have us as slight favourites? With 6 or 8 out, and playing locky on their home ground we came away with over a 6 goal win......

colbo werent handy against heathcote, they were ordinary and were missing doak, jacobs, millar among others so i would definately not be judging them off that game. thats the worst youre gonna see of them this year.

I don't mind Mounts Trigga I just think people are pretty quick to say Mounts are a standout because of their past successes. Mounts have had to work super hard in both 05 and 06 dropping 4 or 5 games in both seasons before winning it. At the moment I would say you blokes are one of the sides with the potential to win but I suspect you need Dalton and possibly another top liner.

anyone know what happened at the Tribunal last nite?
Yes you are right one round of footy does not decide a flag at all and very hard to jump on board one team and dismiss another after round one. Heathcote also spent 30 mins with seventeen on the ground due to a player being sent off. Matt waters also did not play and I hear there is another key position player to come in? Clubs will have players in and out all year thats just footy so any win regadless of who has played will be valuable at end of year. Escpecially if it is tight up the top end. Does anyone know the results from the reports over the weekend??

From what I can see, it seems to be a more open year for a few teams to win the flag. A lot of teams seem to have had quite a few changes in there playing groups both ins and outs and after 1 game and a praccy or 2 would be to difficult to see a stand out.
Mounts - Always up there
Elmore - Who knows what they can do
Colbo - Like Mounts and should improve on last year.
Heathcote - Impressive so far and a serious contender
Locky - Doubtful of flag but will push sides
Broady - ?? big improvers
Others - Doubt it
I also think injuries may play a big part with some sides this year!

hey guys just seen the results for the broady game and noticed a name by JOHN TAYLOR - just wondering if its the same taylor i played with in the ESS dfl at pascoe vale???
great player when on song, v hard to stop!!!
can any one tell me where he played after walking out at pacco???
he mighnt have played the rest of the year, not sure,
Thanks guys
also how is heathcote looking this year with the prize pick ups from romsey???
I think Mounts are the side to beat again with Colbo and Heatcote not far behind if not on even terms at this early stage then i would have Elmore,LBU Broady, andd a drop to the others.
looks to be a very strong and hard year in hdfl GOOD TO SEE......

3 May 2007, 16:12
think it will be a battle out of four
mounts - depends what they do in regards to mid year
colbo - sound an even team, plenty of avenues to goal, and a handy defence by the sounds
heathcote - picked up some quality big men but lost the best in the league, in smith, there abouts again
elmore - have got the team, if they want to win it
broady will be the big improvers, locky may slip back to the field from there consistant third on the ladder over the last few years
the others would be rebuilding i'd think.
campbells creek have folded due to lack of players. how many of them have north signed

I agree with you Sam, Mounts have earnt that right and step up when it matters and seem to back it up consitently. Elmore, Colbo, Heathcote, LBU will fight it out and I think B'Ford will surprise alot this year, From what I hear Doona runs a good ship and will have prepared his team well.... And it is great to see the comp tightening up! Proves its on the improve again this year....

Does the HDFL play an Interleague game against anyone at all???
Why is that Roota, Fancy yourself as a definate stater:rolleyes:
Huntly vs White Hills
Elmore vs Broadford
Mount Pleasant vs Heathcote
LBU vs North Bendigo
I heard on the grapevine that Ian Kaye (the classy rover who can take a spectacular mark from Rutherglen, according to the Website) is dissatisfied with Elmore already and is keen on getting home to Rutherglen.
Also in other Elmore news, with Ryan Hayes and Bill Longford suspended, there have been suggestions that Tony Southcombe will take to the field in a playing coach role to fill the void left in the ruck. He apparently gave a reason for this saying that he didn't want to tinker with removing Ryan Wiese from centre half back as this may have a detrimental affect on the sides balance. Because of last nights wet conditions, Tony was hampered from moving freely around the ground but still felt he'd be right to "just provide a contest" on Saturday.

Also in other Elmore news, with Ryan Hayes and Bill Longford suspended, there have been suggestions that Tony Southcombe will take to the field in a playing coach role to fill the void left in the ruck. He apparently gave a reason for this saying that he didn't want to tinker with removing Ryan Wiese from centre half back as this may have a detrimental affect on the sides balance. Because of last nights wet conditions, Tony was hampered from moving freely around the ground but still felt he'd be right to "just provide a contest" on Saturday.
Were our teams in the Addy Santoz? Got sidetracked last night and dunno if I got em off on time - the Shepp News deadline for teams seemed a bit later than the Bendigo paper.
Santoz

J.Winzar A.Campbell J.Homewood D.Elford B.Ezard M.Rule M.Billings and couple still yet to come, club suffered from some injuries and work commitments in round 1. Credit to Broady they ran the game out very well, hopefully Huntly will have a better showing this week against the Hills.
B.Ezard has "retired", i heard he will be linning up for his old club St Arnaud within the month. G.Moulday is another player you missed, FF who has kicked some big bags in the NCFL, apparently he is having one last crack at it this year, all reports he has strip fit and is ready to explode.

You reckon Im past it H? In fact me last senior game, i think it may av even been me last ever at broady was up at Elmore years back, thought I might have a ruun for old times sake :p Reckon I got 4-5 that day so fingers crossed ;)
Big encounter looms this week for Doona "Big Footy" Nolans men at the Elmore recreation reserve. Coach Nolan notched up his first win for the club in empahtic style last week, which saw his super roos over run Huntly in the second half outscoring them by 18 goals.
Will Broadford super coach Nolan get his chargers over the line again this week?? For me im selecting, Broadford by 21 points, Tayls to kick 6
Good luck doon :thumbsu:

My tips for the weekend are:
White Hills over Huntly
Mounts over Heathcote
LBU over North
And in a close on Broadford over Elmore

What happened out at tooleen roota?? Is this Heatcote squad the real deal? Have only heard the scores so wouldn't mind a bit of a wrap up if you or someone else is up to it. Also how did the gun forward digidog go in the magoos?
hey guys, heard a bit about a kid jarad baldwin from locky, gathers a mean footy and kicks well, anyone heard about him?
yeah, his an ugly fella.
doesnt turn up to poker games either....
Must thank Alistair and the Heathcote lads for Elmore's wake up call last week, really kicked em into gear.
A 15 minute burst in the 3rd term that netted 6 goals pretty much put the game to bed after the Broady boys had a real crack up until then. Fought the match out but with 7-8 Elmore goals resulting from direct skill turnovers the Bloods really hurt us on the rebound, and also were much better at releasing players off half back and thru the middle.
Fletch never played, we lost Billy Neilson 5 minutes in, Glenny Rowbotham spent time off injured and Matty Coomans also played hurt for the final 3 terms. Got a lot more out of that loss than last week's win, boys ran the game out and applied plenty of pressure which was commendable, but our skill level at times hurt massively along with a lot of loose checking.

Saints too quick for most part but unsure who the Mountain Men had out. Hughy Ryan didn't appear again after half time but I don't think it would have made much difference, 37 shots to 16 is pretty clear cut.

yep the young boys from the saints did very well. Good balance at Heathcote this year with quality talls and alot of pace with their small blokes. Think Dalton is the major IN for Mounts to come in a couple of weeks

Yep, definitely had boots on my feet mate ;)

Obviously was checked a lot closer and Elmore's ability to get back hard with numbers choked all our forwards bar Littlewood who kicked 1.4 in the last quarter and a half. During that period Tayls played on ball and got his share of the footy

good game to watch, the saints have a very good balance of players.
the younger players at heathcote were the ones that really turned it on.
their backhalf were excellent, however they did let themselves down at times when they entered their forward 50, with too many turnovers. the result could have been alot worse for mounts had heathcote kicked straight. the boy feathstone was fantastic all around the ground. and the 3 romsey recruits all held their own. as handy as he is i wouldnt have thought dalton wouldnt have made a huge difference, it was heathcotes ability to run the ball in numbers and win it in close that troubled mounts.
i know early form doesnt win you flags buy the saints did look good and if they keep that up for the rest of the year they should go ok.

agree with you there- heathcote looked the goods. showed very good signs. wasnt impressed with what i saw of mounts. was one of the most important games of the year for mounts (white sheild) and not many stepped up at all. cam carter went hard all day and rob roy tried hard but i dare say after the efforts from the rest of them it will be a hard training tomorrow night!

I made the trip to Tooleen on the weekend. The saints were impressive.
Heathcote top two for me.
I'm not sure if you can question the efforts of the mountain men, they were just out played. Plain and simple.

totally agree with you that they were out played, but when your only about 4 goals down with a quarter of footy left in a game that means enormous amounts to the footy club, i dont think you would play with a defeatous attitude. alot of the guys put their heads down in my view. after a good win and some great individual perfromances from the twos i think some changes will be made. anyway all in all a good game and prehaps a good wake up call for the mountain men

Any team that loses players the quality of Shannon, Grinton, Ferrier, Webb and Dalton are going to have to find their feet for a few weeks. I am pretty sure they don't hand out premierships cups on May 7th.....
The reserves have also lost quite a few of their top 10 from last season but are going great guns. The new coach loves his ink I have been told!! The new runner must be delivering the messages quick and fast!!

every club has their fair share of player turnovers, saturdays results have nothing to do with last year. heathcote also have to find their feet as they had several players come & go. you are right premierships arent given on may 7th. but why not give credit where credit is due. heathcote were far to good for mounts on saturday regardless of who was or wasnt missing from both sides.

Exaclty right old saint, no excuses from us at all, we were simply beaten by a more committed and hard running side. A huge wake up call for all of us at Toolleen, especialy me! Heathcote reminded me of a Tyntynder side back in the CMFL, very fit quick and committed to running in packs. They were simply fantastic. Big disappointment for myself playing for the White cup and to put in a shocker like that was embarrassing.
We do have the rest of the season to make up for it and there were som postives. Ash Baker looks ominous as a powerful forward and is an ideal replacement if Dennis misses a couple and Dalts isn't far away and many of us cannot play that bad again.
