Huntly are close to signing former Geelong great Peter Riccardi as assistant coach.... And a close friend to coach Hamilton, Gary Hocking is a chance to play possibly 8 games during the year.... What a positive for the down and out Huntly hawks....
Sounds like Huntly are following the footsteps of K/Flats previous years, its called the band aid effect.
I hope he's good friends with Gary Ablett snr cos if he plays a few games i'll buy a membership!

Elmore footy trip to Byron Bay has been cancelled?? Money gone missing any truth in the rumour?????
Heard the rumour, was told there are some very dissapointed players. Story I was told by two seperate people was that the money was used to make player payments at the end of the year due to them falling short. Social/footy trip committe was told to help out with the money, refused and were 'persuaded' to help out. Only a rumour at this stage but sound like it is growing legs.
Can someone at Elmore fill us in if there is any truth in it at all?

Gee that's no good if it's right. If the guy's want a trip away just grab a few slabs and pack you're swags and head out to the old field days site. They got a toilet and showers out there. Two or three hundred bucks should give the premiers a great weekend.:D:D:D

Story in today's Addy confirming Locky's return to Eaglehawk. Who do Colbo look to now???
Story in today's Addy confirming Locky's return to Eaglehawk. Who do Colbo look to now???
Lock’s back as a key player for Hawks
THE speculation over Damien Lock’s playing future for 2008 has ended with the former Colbinabbin coach to return to reigning All Seasons Bendigo Football League premier Eaglehawk next year.
Lock has coached Colbinabbin for the past two seasons, including to the Heathcote District Football League grand final this year.
Whether he would continue in the Grasshoppers job next year had been one of the major talking points of the HDFL following the end of the season.
However, the classy midfielder informed the Grasshoppers committee on Monday night he would not be returning next year, and gave his commitment to Eaglehawk coach Derrick Filo on Tuesday night that he would be at Canterbury Park next season.
Lock, a member of the Hawks’ losing 2003 grand final side to Gisborne, last played for Eaglehawk in 2004.
Since leaving Eaglehawk, as well as his two-year stint coaching Colbinabbin, Lock also spent a year with Essendon District Football League club Doutta Stars in 2005.
‘‘It was a really tough decision to leave Colbinabbin,’’ Lock said yesterday.
‘‘I have made a lot of good friends out there and they gave me the opportunity to coach, which I thoroughly enjoyed.
‘‘It was a hard decision to walk away from the coaching, but over the next year or two I just want to give it my best shot in the Bendigo league and see what I can do.
‘‘The driving force behind me coming back (to Eaglehawk) is in previous years I was probably a bit distracted by other stuff, but over the past couple of years the coaching has got me back on track,’’ he said.
‘‘I’m relishing the opportunity to come back and, hopefully, I can play my best footy.’’ In Lock’s two years as coach of Colbinabbin, the Grasshoppers finished fourth in 2006 and second this year, beaten by 99 points by Elmore in the grand final.
Filo said the Hawks were excited to have secured 28-year-old Lock, who played 18 AFL games for Carlton in 1998 and 1999.
‘‘He just wants to have a year away from coaching and come back to his home club,’’ Filo said.
‘‘He’s a good player and he really wants to be part of a premiership team.
‘‘In the past couple of years out at Colbinabbin he has played with a fair amount of responsibility on him, so I’m sure he will come back a much better player than last time he was here.
‘‘He’s a very creative player and brings others into it, but he’s also very skilful, so he brings a lot to the table and he is an Eaglehawk boy.
‘‘He is a great mate of Ben Hynes, Kain Robins and a few of the boys, so he won’t have to go through that adjusting period.’’ The news of Lock’s return to Canterbury Park came just days after confirmation full-forward and reigning Ron Best medallist Damien Brown was leaving Eaglehawk after one season and moving to Wagga Wagga for work.
Meanwhile, a meeting to discuss the future direction of South Bendigo Football-Netball Club will be held next week.
The meeting is a joint venture between the Bloods, VCFL and BFL and will be held at the South Bendigo social rooms at the QEO from 7.30 pm next Wednesday.
The flyer for the meeting states: ‘‘The night provides a great opportunity for past and present members of the South Bendigo Football-Netball Club to contribute to the future direction of the club’’.
Among the topics to be discussed at the meeting will be an overview of the discussions South Bendigo had with the Strathfieldsaye Junior Football Club earlier this year about the establishment of a merged senior team to be based at Strathfieldsaye.
Following the discussions, it was decided a stand-alone senior club would be based at Strathfieldsaye, therefore meaning the Bloods would remain at the QEO.
Next week’s meeting will also cover administration, volunteers, membership, sponsorship and the involvement of footballers, netballers and junior players.
For more information on the meeting, contact Casey Crapper at the Bendigo Football administration office on 5443 7111.

Maybe Bart Lay could be Locks replacement, he's coached the 2's the last 2 seasons has'nt he?
Nth have signed Webb as an ass.coach , Jarred Loring and possibly J.kingdon back aswell so they seem to be on the improve at this stage.

Is it just me or does anyone else find this constitutional advertising for coaches somewhat antiquated and potentially insulting. Whilst some clubs are crossing the i's and dotting the t's other clubs such as Huntly have apparently already spoken to everyone south of Thursday Island that have ever kicked a footy. Wouldn't a set of Key Performance Indicators built into a coaches contract or tenure be a little more proactive for the club. Fantom certainly aint no rocket surgeon but I reckon if a club thinks the coach is no good, show some guts and get rid of em. If they meet and exceed KPI's reappoint them. This reluctance to move with the times may already have cost some clubs some valuable recruits and may already have determined their plight for next year.

The word is White Hills coach is currently getting mansion built adjacent to the footy ground, infact its that big it blocks out half of Epsom.
I heard it is being built by the president to secure his coaching services for many years to come.
I can't see the new clubrooms being a go ahead now due to all the funds required for the coach's palace.

I guess when you win a Grand Final by 18 goals you can afford to lose 1 or 2 quality senior footballers.....Reckon Cam would go pretty well out the Burra, and they could be a fair bet for back to back in '08. Lock back, Cail possibly, Pedrotti aswell??

Someone posted about the possibility of Austin and all these guys returning. Austin is still heavily leaning towards playing at South again although when he does return he is likely to bring those others ex hawks as company but it must have be remembered that some of those have been out of the game for some time too.

Junky we can all play in premierships every year if we wanted to. All you have to do is choose the right clubs. Spend a couple of years at Calivil,move on to Elmore, maybe head to Harcourt or Gisborne, i think you would get my point. I have no doubt he can play the game I just can't believe that he would walk out on Huntly when they needed players the most and then return. Why not stay at Elmore and try and have more impact out there then he did this year.

Roota, did he have a moral obligation to stay at Huntly? The way the place was being run amonst other things would be a good enough reason to leave IMO. Having said that, if a bloke wants to go back to a club for any reason it's his call........ maybe he sniffs another premiership, who knows!!
As for the Serp job........... I highly f**king doubt it. They teated him and the other locals like shit when he was there so why would anyone bother going back?

Roota, did he have a moral obligation to stay at Huntly? The way the place was being run amonst other things would be a good enough reason to leave IMO. Having said that, if a bloke wants to go back to a club for any reason it's his call........ maybe he sniffs another premiership, who knows!!
As for the Serp job........... I highly f**king doubt it. They teated him and the other locals like shit when he was there so why would anyone bother going back?
I take that as a fair point Maxi. I don't know the bloke so have formed my opinion after speaking to some of the Elmore blokes following the end of the season. I hope where ever he ends up he works hard and plays good footy for many years

You reckon Manly has tried to sniff some flags out by moving around I think you may have sat back and jumped on at Mounts thinking there was your best chance to play in one.
Been a bit of talk about a few clubs having a dip around the place have White Hills been active on the recruiting front? You would think the Demons would need 6 to 7 quality to have a chance of winning it.

I went to Mounts because My old man and myself to a lesser extent have been great mates with Wes White from when he was at Lalbert and there is a strong connection between many CMFL Clubs and Mount Pleasant. If i wanted to definitley play in a flag there were many other places i coud have gone. Anyway i will play my days out at Mounts no matter what comes along. If it is flags fantastic, if not then thats ok, it is great to play at that club fullstop

Not only would Manley not go back to Huntly i doubt he would be very welcome if he tried.

Well he's probably chasing another flag anyway :D Not much hope of that at the old Hawkies!
So if he is leaving Elmore where would he go? Huntly out, Serp out. Calivil??? Another league maybe????
Anyone know if he's playing cricket this year?

Word out of Strathfieldsaye BP is that Elmore's Jake Smythe will be the inaugural Captain of S/Saye in 2009 with his old man being president...if so S/saye may be the fittest team in the league in '09.....:thumbsu:

so strath in 09? is the person from BP will he be playing at strath in 09?
i think strath will be a force in 09, they have the backing of the community and i think players from sandhurst and south will go to strath. look out for them in 09

Brenton Rowe from Tyntynder. I guarantee he would come and play alongside me before Geary

That would make more sense but I doubt he would have enough respect amongst the club commitee and players to get the nod, assistant coach maybe then have a go at coaching a senior side.
Heard he had been approached by an MCDFL club too...... gotta love the rumor mill.

At the next AGM (3weeks) the BJFL are considering changing it's age divisions to
Under 10, Under 12, Under 14 and Under 16.
Currently age divisions are Under 10, Under 12, Under 13.5, Under 15 and Under 16.5.
The change would mean kids have two years in each age division instead of 1.5 years. Also, After Under 16's, players would have either two years in the BFL U 18's......or they may choose to go U 17's in LVFL or HDFL for a season then return to 18's.....or even stay with the LVFL after U 17's.
Spotted this on LVFL forum, any comments??

Was wondering where the information about meacham was coming from, my mail is that he has signed on at Riddells Creek, and thought you might be a relation to one of the boys from there.:thumbsu:

Nah i have just played against him and i am mates with Cam Rooney who plays there. My former club has been asking me to follow him up for them as they were trying to get him a couple of years back and were hoping for another crack

Pretty natural talented footballer, if he had the work ethic he'd be a top footballer, have heard he could be joining Roota up at murribit in 08, but him still being in melbourne thats a fair bit of comitment for Cam you'd think. Top bloke loves getting on the sauce an having a good time, was good mates with with him, Jay and Pogga when they were growing up, all good blokes

Spot on there, good footballer, naturally fit, don't think it is so much a work ethic thing, he gets himself into a bit of trouble with his mouth, with umps and coaches alike, didn't help that it was his uncle coaching when we first went down there, Jay (smiley) is a gun but for some stupid reason has stayed at jacana and wasted his talent don't know why?

I doubt whether he would have the time to take on that job.

Give the job to Bernard Atkin. Heathcote should get on to his older brother a pretty handy/versitile player, played a bit at Nully this year, an played a few years at boga. at Nully he was playing up forward an kicking goals as well as having a run in the ruck, might not be able to coach but pretty handy player to have in the side I'd think.

That would be Kieran Atkin there Truck. Pretty versatile type of player

Actually Big Ump' and I know this is a HDFL thread but
your mate TW has at least coached a winning game' and it wasn't that long ago, unlike your tanking team coach's record that is 0/100% win/ loss. Do I need to break that down for you? You don't need to tell me i'm right.:eek:

Yes i know this is a HDFL thread, but have you read who is supposed to be coming to play in HDFL. For a moment i thought it was a AFL retired players thread.:D

Know Marty pretty well and he is a top bloke as well as a bloody good footballer, backmen beware, could do some real damage. Colbo could do a lot worse.. Don't know what he'll be like as a coach though don't think he's had any coaching experience before..
