Gr8 2 c a Stawell Warrior in Simon Farrer back playing footy!! Its amazing what success does isn't it. Last couple of years when the battling young side was struggling, probable their most important player goes walky. Those young fellas would have learn't so much from someone like daego. let me no if this wasn't the case, but i think that i am pretty much on the money!!! ;)
Probably a fair call by the looks of it onelastbounce. He is a very good player though and any side in the league would love to have a player of his cailbure.

look out to jarryd "leroy" graham this weekend as john delahunty is back this weekend from rebels and is looking for revenge personally!!!
What was the article Tige?? Also do you know what Nhill's team for tomorrow is??
Artical was about Dimboola getting back Shane Thorne and his brother Baden from Darwin. The Cray fisherman was rambling on about how they will solve all there problems. I think there problem maybe a support off the field issue the past 2 or 3 years dimboola has had a strong supporter base but it seems that has dropped off much like the bank account will next season. Good on them for havin a crack though.

Whats the controversy Between these 2?? I've seen these two play i would say Jarryd Graham will have the upper hand he has developed well after rebels which some players struggle with. You would nearly go on to say he is one of Nhills Best. Thoughts??

Graham probablnhills best player at the moment. Rock solid defender that mightn't get the best forward but sets up play well from defence. Good challenge if he does take on delahunty but definitely expect graham to take the points and be among nhills best. Hopefully can help out the key position players on lachlan delahunty and midgley. Good to see a player of grahams quality play for his hoe team when other offers would've been on the table to move up in grade. Hopefully nhill can repay players like him and beer for their loyalty with a finals appearance, and a good one at that.
how do you think the United Thirds will go ?

Clearance from anglesea Bowen Thomas back to Minyip Murtoa. Massive chance to improve the side. Big horse will most likely slot straight into 1's
Played like a burnt gumboot.
Minyip-Murtoa blew Nhill away
QT HT 3qt 4th
Minyip/Murtoa 6.7.43 7.8.50 11.11.77 17.13.115
Nhill Tigers 1.3.9 4.7.31 7.8.50 10.8.68
(47) pts
and Eagles won under 14's & Under 17's very easy

just some thoughts from you guys on the best players in league considering form this year, possibly toohey medal considerations through a third of the season. a lot of talk on here and in the papers has been on the form of tuckey, mcfarlane and even okely?? my biased opinion says mibus would be well up there but heres how i see it (going merely on games ive been a part of and a little on BOG's in the paper, although i dont take notive because some clubs just favour their stars to win them a travel voucher form the WMT)
Mibus
Kosch
Johns
Tuckey
Carr
A quick top 5. Any Nhill players to be considered in that standard considering their fair form to start the year? I am yet to see them play or hear about them. Dimboola stars not considered as if they were in form the team would be higher on the ladder.

12 Jun 2007, 20:51
I believe that John Kosch might win just ahead of Brent Tuckey. Tuckey could win if he doesn't miss 2 many games through injury. And my outside tip for the Medal is Stawell recruit Nathan Holloway. C how they go!!!!!:thumbsu:

Mibus is no good! big soft and just no good! ask the donald people about the big fella andi am sure you will not get a good response, Took the $$$$ and ran, he could of at least got a kick when he was there for the amount of coin he was on, the skunk!!!

I think someone who posts a comment like this doesn't know Simon Farrer very well. He was happy to go back and help the young kids out at the club, and help the 2's with numbers. Obviously a player of his quality doesn't stay in the 2's very long. Perhaps a new business and a couple of kids may have something to do with him sitting out footy for a while.

I totally agree with you Magic, Dale Bligh is clearly amongst the best players in the Wimmera League and has been for some time now. This was obviously proven about 3 years ago when he won the Toohey Medal and has reportedly been in Toohey Medal form again this year. Saturdays form is evident, as playing under a significant injury cloud he still managed to kick 6. Also to add that he featured amongst the best in the interleague side a couple of weeks back!
A comment like yours Rat_attack, in that the Magic should look outside the square he lives in, is typical of something you would say with a name like you have as you obviously are not a big fan of Ararat and would say that about their players.
I have played against Bligh and along with seeing a fair bit of Wimmera footy before do rate him as an awesome player who deserves to be put amongst the best in the League!! :thumbsu:

He might struggle to pick up the 3 votes in games as he is playing in a bottom team. I reckon it will between players - Kosch, McFarlane, Tucky. Smokey - J Graham Nhill, T Wade - united

good predictions from roaring tiger, but a little ridiculous not to have j mibus in the equation, he will be in the top 3 at this stage of the year. t wade a fair way off, danny krahe a long way off. getting BOG for your own club amounts to nothing when it comes to umpires thoughts on b&f in a game. so what we see in the paper with the mailtimes award cant be considered when throwing up names for b&f. after playing nhill on the weekend s bayzand looks a good vote getter as he plays similar style to other players who normally pick up handy votes when toohey medal comes around (ie. bachelor, lienert, burdett when he was in the league)

Perhaps they will go back to the Horsham District league. They look like they have a lot of work to do. They seem to be finding it hard to attract players also. They chucked massive money at Shane Hutchison at the start of the year and he wouldn't even come.

I would hope they wouldn't even contemplate heading back to the HDFL. They have been a fairly consistent performer in their WFL years, although without a premiership. A couple of bad years years shouldn't reverse 5+ years of good WFL footy.
I hear the former off field hierachy is the reason the club has lost some good players and struggled to attract players, although there's a new president this season, so that could be a turning point for the club.

Well mate I won't indulge into how much he is worth cause I'm not in a position to say but I've got no doubt he can play the game. In his defence he has been struggling with an injury so this has obviously contributed to his relatively poor performances thus far. Hopefully for his sake and the clubs he can get back up and running or a fast walk as it really is and back on the track, as he could play a big part come finals time, if G/W are able to make it!!
As for me and the coaching, well buddy you know only 2 well how hard coaching can be at times, however starting to get back a few quality cattle and becoming quite competitive against the top 5 sides. Although we had our chances on the weekend and should have won, but thats footy!! Should finish off the season strong!! The hammies were still a little tight on the weekend so struggled somewhat, however previous to that have been playing alright!
And for the chance of stepping up to the senior ranks, all I'll say is due to an incline in weight and a decline in fitness from the start of pre-season has blown any chance there may have been!! :thumbsu:

A DESIRE for club stability has forced Dimboola Football Club officials to retreat from a deal that would have netted Brad Stephensen, 21, for a handful of games in Wimmera Football League this year.
Dimboola president John Saxton said a spasmodic appearance by the big follower might have done team structure more harm than good.
He agreed the addition of Stephensen would have helped the club's tall timber department but conceded that the club was confronting a tough month of football and disruption was one of the last things the team needed.
"Although it's disappointing Bradley won't be coming, this is a good opportunity for the local lads to stand up, show their true colours and repay the faith we have shown it them," Mr Saxton said.
Team leaders had all but pencilled in Stephensen for tomorrow's critical match against Warrack Eagles but discussions on Wednesday night between club leaders torpedoed the plan. Stephensen has work commitments in Darwin.
Stephensen, who measures in at 192 centimetres, was part of the Roos' grand final team last year. He made an immediate impact in his debut season after joining the Roos last June. He kicked 55 goals in 14 games.
"We lack a big man and Bradley is a very big man who would have certainly filled our aspirations for that role," Mr Saxton said.
"But a Shanan Baker, who has signed up with us, or a Nathan Albrecht might stand up and say `I'll do the job. I'm going to make myself accountable and show the league we need that player and I'm going to fulfil that role'."
The Roos are in fifth place with a season record of 4-5 and have failed to live up to all sorts of pre-season expectations.
Mr Saxton had a profound message for those in the league who had written off the Roos this season.
"We're definitely not gone," he said.
"If you look at our win-loss ratio we've lost to Nhill by a point and to Minyip-Murtoa by a kick after the siren.
"If we hadn't lost those close games we'd be up there with Horsham United and Stawell and nobody would be talking about Dimboola not making the finals. "The boys just have to produce the excellent football we know they are capable of." )
I reckon it may of been due to them running out of money!!!

Now boyz lets not be too disalusioned in thinking that this is someone new having a crack at us all, just because he has Corio down as his location and that he supposedly barricks for Geelong!! :rolleyes:
I may be wrong here but think I am on the money in saying that it is the bloke we all luv too hate, you know that one that suffers a little DS and at present couldn't get a kick out of half a pound of heroin!! :D

Mighty roar dop everyone a favour and go back under your rock and hide...;)Anyway ive been away for a few days now and after consulting with Mark Reids Sportsbet here are the top 5 favorites to win the TOOHEY.
$3.25 TUCKEY_stawell slotted in nicely,gun player can take stawell to gf,will pole highly.
$5.00 BATCHELOR-horsham hard player in and under rover who always polls well could lose votes to johns,carr etc.
$7.15 MCFARLANE-dimboola previous winner who tries all day losses could cost him picking up 3s but will be thereabouts.
$8.45BLIGH-ararat-possibly the most talented player in the wfl but lack of wins for ararat might leave him short.
$9.00 KOSCH-minyip-exellent midfielder who provides a lot of drive out of the centre and gets plenty of the ball..
Lets all hope for and exciting finish for the 2007 season and good luck to all sides.

Useful victory by Stawell today. Anybody watch the game?
Can anyone tell me anything about a player called Daniel Joyner from Stawell, probably played 2 years ago...
I dont think "Boony" has played for maybe 3 years now which is a real pity. He was a promising junior who developed nicly in his first year in the seniors. For some reason his weight balooned after he became a bit dissenchanted with the game and seemed to give it away after having several district clubs chasing him, almost like he didn't like the pressure. Bloody shame cause he is a great kid who could be a great footballer if he gets his love of the game back. Good skills and always found plenty of it. I'd be interested to hear if a club of your connection was chasing him or has got him keen to play.

Na no trouble at school passed VCE, probably just a few too many beers. :D

i was umpiring at Coughlin Park and i heard a real loud roar from City Oval i suspected Stawell Won ya never hear that from Horsham when they win :)
United gave Saints a flogging the Biggest MArgin this ROund in soggy conditions ground was wet and muddy
United 23.17 155 d Saints 6 .6 42
United.Brad Miller 6, Joshua Milbus 5 McCallum 3, T Bell 2,
Adams,Wade,Kearney 1,
Saints . Combe 3, Bansemer,Kelm,Clough 1
Gate $2100
was over by ht 10.7 to 2.3
United kicked 5 goals in first 3 Quarters with a 7 in the Last
now thats being consistant 3rd they kicked 5.6
it was good That Stawell Finally Stopped Horshams Long Winning Streak :) had to happen sooner or Later
United were close last Weekend.
I bet Horsham are kicking emselves for losing after a stawell kick after the Siren .
that will Make Warrack v Horsham game At Brim Intersting.

The only thing interesting in that game will be how many goals Johns kicks. I think he will kick 10+ and warrak will get smashed unless the ground is very wet and muddy.

Was there lions 12 and stawell played well especially Tuckey, he is a gun and he is gonna take some stopping in sept. Stawell`s marking power stood out. Horsham were dominant early, Batchelor had a quiet one, Jarrod wright, jagen ross and Aaron Barnett didn`t play and it looks like johnsy needs a spell, has been playing on one leg for a month. Not sure if stawell had any out but it will be a cracker when the two meet again in sept. and the loss will throw a bit of hurt and hunger back in the demon camp.

Warrack people are kidding themselves if they think gunn, krahe or okley will be up there because they are going to win maybe 1 more if they are lucky. Tuckey looks to have it sown up, with mcfarlene, bligh, kosch till injured, to be not far away. Not sure for the diggers mayb mibus if he can attract the umpires eye. Would be surprised if any one from horsham gets it with the even contribution, batchelor maybe if the umpires reward him from swan diving 50 times a quarter every week. If dimmy get a few more wins on the board mcfarlene could look to get another toohey. With the finals series looking like it could be the most entertaining in years. Stawell have broken the streak which will give united, and dimboola to a lesser extent a belief horsham is now beatable. Both clubs face trying to find the right team chemistry to mix it with stawell and horsham as they both have the lists. Look for minyip/muroa to fall away as the loss to ararat rules them out asa genuine contender. Rely on too few to get the job done with youngsters such as delahunty's will b tested too far in the harder faster footy of finals

Mid Season Report:
Demons - have carried on their winning fashion this year with the inclusions of fromer demon aaron barnett and lachie woodward strengthening a very good team. Jarrod Wright is back up and going and will help come finals time. Minor slip up against stawell and game v dimmy could prove interesting. The form of johns has been slipping due to injury and without johns i would rate horsham as the third best in the competition. Luke Carr is the key to horsham winning again, a solid performance with plenty of assists and goals will deliver the demons another flag.
Stawell - Big improverand understandably so with the inclusion of Tuckey and also Simon Farrer. Abraham will be missed but have others who can help fill the void. Tuckey took a few rounds to adjust to the wimmera leagueand new teammates and since he has stawell have looked impeccable with a great win over the D's. Potent forward line and key to premeirship success is Dan Matthews and Ben Williamson. If these two can break even with the opposing forwards stawell is home with the firepower of tucker, farrer, nicholson potter, etc.
United - Big list of ins this season with none more important than mibus. Has dominated the airways and look forward to possible finals match ups of mibus v tuckey or mibus v carr. Has all the attributes and needs big name players to step up and help out at the diggers. Millar has been dissapointing and if he could find form infront of goals look out. Combe has been potent but needs others to step up and match his output. Has as good a side as the top two on paper but haven't clicked, could be premiership winner if team gels soon.
Min/Mur - Very experienced side with a nice blendof youth. Have been challenging the top 3 but with the injury to kosch and the age of the team will have to rely on the youngsters to carry them over the line into the finals. Rely on kosch and midgley for too many of their goals and other teams should be able to shut these two out of the game and take the points.
Dimboola - possibly the best side on paper in the comp but that counts for nothing as controversy surrounding the team is drawing attention away from lacklustre performances on the field. The shining light for them has been peter mcfarlene who has carried them throught this far with some help from clugston. Supporter base dwindling and rumours of the financial backer in deep troubel has put a big question in the hearts and heads of players and supporters. If we don't win it this year, will we ever........ Look for this to either unite the team or tear it apart as each player tries to increase his market value. Sleeping giant who could wake at any moment................ but probably won't
Nhill - Probably the biggest over achievers so far with a one-point victory over bitter rivals dimboola and solid form in early matches. Since losing to minyip/murtoa have looked a shade of the team of early round which would be eating at the heart of gun coach davdson. With key players schumann, wilksch and price leaving not much hope was held of a good season. Gary has got the most out of a team with no genuine out and out guns but very handy players in the form of lannin, fritsch, graham and beer. Lack of talls and experience a major problem but promising signs and the potential of davidson could attract players to probably the best club in the wimmera. The strong supporter base and lack of mercanaries at nhill could arm them for a tilt at the flag in the near future
Ararat - For a club that nearly folded at the start of the season, have got better with time. A clinch win over minyip/murtoa shows they still have the potentcy to cause upsets. The old guard of jackson, walton, bligh and fratin have helped develop the team into a better side. Unearthing youngster Aiden Bell has been a big bonus and could provide a great avenue to goal for the future for the rats. Finals not out of the question but not probable with the future looking brighter for the club
Warrack - Lacking depth with their good players being good and their bad players being very bad. Have a good blend of youth and experience but miss genuine 25 yo gun midfielders and forwards. RElying on the old stewards too heavily. Nick Germano who could be a future captain/coach of the club has been dissapointing and really needs to step up like the bells, grahams, barnetts have in the past. Trying to rebuild after buying a premiership and could linger around the bootom for a while yet
Saints - Can't attract any star players, have no depth, lost good players, the list goes on. Players like burdett, watson and burgess have left this club on its knees by goin off to play for the highest bidder in a substandard district league. Have unearthed some good youngsters but the club looks on its way to dropping back to district league or even worse, folding. Hopefully sign some gun recruits for next season and if the demons don't win the flag may be able to attract a few more locals to the club. Will keep warrack company pushing up the foundations of the ladder for a while to come

Does anybody on here recall CRAIG TURNER from Ararat...played in the late '80s or thereabouts...
Was wondering if any of you on this thread recall a Craig Turner who I am fairly sure played with Ararat in the late 80's...This chappie joined Woodville Football Club in the SANFL ( yours truly being a Woody supporter!) in 1990, and was sent packing after two pre-season games! He bore a resemblance to Stewie Maxfield former Richmond & Sydney player, but only physically believe me...LOL!
He was a rover that could hardly get a kick and putting it politely WAS BLOODY HOPELESS!! Seemed like he didn't know what to do and where to be on the " field of play "! But he may have been horribly homesick and couldn't show us his " magic " here in Adelaide town. Might sound a bit harsh on the boy, but how was he rated in Ararat? You may violently disagree with my views, but perhaps he played the worst two games of his life in his very short Woodville career?! All feedback welcome....

Big W. I would like to know why you think Warrack bought the flag that you mention in your mid season report. 2 other clubs in the wimmera league would of spent around the same money that year & the side was mainly made up of local Brim/Warracknabeal players. They were very lucky to win it anyway. Ararat were by far the best team by far all year!

Most were locals but 19 out of the 21 were getting paid handsomely to play!!

Well Big Fella, pretty explosive comments there buddy. From your recent posts I can only presume that you infact have a sound knowledge of the Wimmera area and would not be able to provide such a well written and acurate mid season report if you were not in the wimmera area. But anyway, since Craig is a relative of mine who I respect greatly, I will play the game and fill you in on what I'm sure you already know.
In the mid 90's he travelled to HDFL club Rupanyup and played an integral part in the 3peat premierships for the Panthers. Whilst there he met a local girl and married and still plays at Rup and I think he may actually have played in a fourth flag. ( not sure as he was dropped for a flag after not being able to commit because of work commitments ). He did have a couple of years out of the game where he ran marathons.
Now, as far as being "BLOODY HOPELESS" as you put it, I can only presume that since you stated that you were a "woody supporter", you infact could not get a game for the very side that he managed to have a very short career with, thus rendering your negative comments uncalled for. But anyway thats your opinion, but I reckon at the age of 36 he still goes alright and as I said, is a bloke who I personally respect as a footballer and person - Thats my opinion!

May have been the best team during the year, unfortunately for Ararat not on the one day that counts. Warrack kicked 15 points in the final quarter to win by the same margin, so for the best team by far all year, they had plenty of chances to beat the best team of the year. BAD LUCK!:)
