Footy is sturggling in the Grampians area! How can Ararat get thumped by Horsham Saints? Swifts are no good and can take the wooden spoon home now if they like. Great Western are average, Ararat Eagles are useless again and further south down the Grampains Rd even Moyston/Willaura and Glenthompson/Dunkeld are looking for the bottom of the ladder again. Thank goodness for Stawell & Tatyoon and it seems Navarre are on the way up finally but not strong enough to do well in the geographically stupid Lexton Plains league. Where have all the footballers gone??? Only in the mid 90's we had Warriors and Swifts and powerful Stawell Redlegs all doing well, strong teams out of Ararat such as St Mary's and Caledonians along with Prestige, Trinity & Miners with Ararat being a force, Navarre doing well and even Marnoo and Landsborough fielding sides along with Moyston & Tatyoon getting fed by Ararat and Great Western pulling palyers from the district. Now in 2008 the Ararat & District league is gone, the Lexton league gone, heaps of mergers and then mergers with mergers (Ararat Eagles) with probaly more to come (Swifts & Geat Western merging to become the 'Western Swifts' or the 'Deep Lead Dung Beetles' and now only two teams in the region any good (Stawell and Tatyoon with the generous wallets) with Navarre maybe pulling a game in the finals. Footy in the Stawell and Ararat region is on the big slide downhill unless they can get more players on the grass.
Nardoo, you do have some valid points there but as for your statement about Great Western and Swifts merging, what a crock of sh!t. If you were at the first game you would have seen (or read) about the brawl that took place, what a disgraceful exhibition by one of the younger Swifts players that instigated the fight and then to have their officials blaming Gt Western players for baiting him, if it wasn't for his dad things would have gotten worse. Also that Knobhead Joiner throwing a can into the crowd and hitting a bloke in the head, and Swifts doing NOTHING at all to address this crap. There is certainly no love lost there and the feeling around Swifts (by insiders) is that they will only have a short future within ANY league. They have few helpers and those that are there now want everything done their own way (2 people in particular, and they're a married couple). Anyway, being a member of Gt Western, I can tell you that hell will freeze over before we merge with Swifts. If by any very, very slim chance it does, they will have great difficulty getting the long serving members of the club to support the merge.
Cheers.

The Saints win again and on top of the ladder. It's a stunning start to the season for the boys, nobody would have thought it after the last couple of years. It will be interesting when they play Horsham, to see how close they can get. That will be their real test.

Couldnt agree more! Having pulled on the Lions jumper, and having been involved at the club for a couple of seasons, I would be amazed it ever happened. Considering that GW were on the brink of folding (financially) back around 2000, and how hard they have worked to survive, and the great people invloved, I just couldnt see them handing that all over to someone else. A merger of this type would take many years to gel, and there would forever be underlying niggles between the 2 (has taken Stawell & the Warriors many years, and not sure if its ever really become the complete cohessive club it was when it was just the Redlegs).
If only the GW boys could lift each week and play with the intensity and passion that they do when they come up against the Baggies, they would be a definate top 5 each year!
Sounds like the same old crap continues at North Park!!
Boobluva, how is Sonny going with the coaching role? I heard talk over the summer that he was looking to pull the pin but havent heard anything since?

what has happened to minny murtoa? few years back they used to be a competitive team. even last year they managed to knock off a few teams... can some questions be answered or is there just no fight left for the burras
what a weekend of footy
Warrack Eagles 1.5 4.10 9.12 16.16 (112) d
Horsham Saints 4.1 5.5 7.9 10.10 (70)
and Ararat 33.20.218 d Minyip/Murtoa 0.6.6
Heard Ararat killed Minyip murtoa out of the centre
warracks on the way up
under 14's messed up could have clean sweeped all grades
watched half of the Reserves they played really good footy
keeping saints to 1 goal
next week v Dimboola will be a test as well dimmy got belted by Ararat
and dimmy belted the Horsham Diggers

How ya goin big fella??
Sonny's been good. He gets his words mixed up a bit but he's been keen. Dunno who started the sh!t about him wanting to leave but it was crap. A few of his so-called mates committed to play with us this year until the last few weeks and pulled the pin. He was disheartened for a while but got over it and moved on. A few of his mates went to a side that probably won't win a game so they obviously went for the $$$. His footy has been good too. He kicked 3 good goals on the weekend in our win over Edenhope. I spose ya heard about Butch dyin. What a loss he is to the Ararat/Great Western community. He will be missed by all. His funeral filled the Ararat Town Hall, says a lot about the bloke and his popularity. RIP Old Boy.

Mate, there were plenty of massive floggings handed out to Jeparit in their dying days in the Wimmera League - there have been occasions where teams have kicked 40 + goals in games.
Grimmett
8 May 2008, 10:01
Jeparit's last season in the WFL was 1989. Ararat kicked the league record score of 46.28 (304) against the Redbacks that year. Pretty certain Jeparit only scored 2.2 (14) leaving a margin of 290 points.

The Ararat rats need all the respect in the league after losing half there senior side and were expected to finish in the bottom 3 they have played 2 top teams and have lost by big margins but dimboola are in good form and the young senior side of the rats deserved to wim with oustanding talent from jake willaimson kicking 5. and minyip murtoa didnt even kick a goal against them. for a side that has the average age of 22 years old they are doing awesome! Go the RATS!!

As anyone heard of rising star: Glenn Esnouff, Stawells gun recruit is in good form after being dropped from the reserves side and havig to run water. he has had no injury problems but a sore hamstring. he is back and playing and has improved his skills. big number 38 for the stawell reserves is soon to be playing AfL. but there will be high elbows against Ararat as he teaches there and cops a fair bit of shit.

someone at umpires training said its the first time a Seniors side in Wimmera
not to kick a goal its happen plenty of time in HDFL
someone said Minyip/Murtoa had 9 yes 9 senior Players out
this week Minyip-Murtoa v Horsham Diggers someone will unless they have a draw break the Ice ;)
Horsham v Nhill horsham will win this but Nhill give it a crack Demons by 30 pts
Dimboola v Warrack Eagles another game could go either way
with Warrack Eagles causing a big upset will give everything to
make it 2 in arow
and Horsham saints v Stawell should be a good game too
If Warrack can beat Dimboola then they got a fairly easy game
in Minyip-Murtoa before they have the bye after the interleague game
could come in handy

hey i just made a new thread for the under 17's of this league
so perhaps start using that instead of this one, alot of people come on to find and discuss Senior and reserve information.
Now that i've isolated them, its will be easier for those who want to discuss under 17 football to track discussion, perhaps save others that arent interested from getting confused, most other leagues have it and it seems to work well.

Well i doubt it now he was in Port Melbournes best on the weekend for the seniors so yeah i dunno he aspires to play for them when or if he isnt playing at port, he is a Nhill boy originally good to see his loyalty to a club he hasnt played at for at least 12yrs.
He was keen to play a full H & A season for them this year but i think wanted to have another crack at the VFL. Dont rule him out for 09 though.

So whats the go with ararat this year? Sitting pretty in the 5? You wouldnt think they would be any stronger than last year? I know that they have some very talented young players but they would have 5 or 6 players each week who shouldnt be playing seniors in WFL? They must have jelled well as a team. Well done to Scott

Sooky Sooky Bubba - Well as some other Ararat watcher said those 5 players are all playing in the ones. I heard United did it with four of their top 10 out, one of the others playing on one leg and a handful of little kids just out of Under14's! So good on the U17 Diggers who beat the premiers of the last two years (and who get by each year by taking all the top age players from local surrounding leagues to make them competitive). If The U17 Diggers keep going well they should play finals which is a credit to the boys. Keep an eye on Nhill U17 for the flag this year

haha are u kiding? ararat best players are always the ones that start from u/14 and go all the way through to play with the ones. for example. last years best players included fiscalini, toomey, hamilton, brennan, cashin, buncle, and others of the likes. all of the players started in u/14, all top players still.. the year before that, best players where dadswell, miocic, burton, all starting in u/14.. you name me players that have come back in their last year in either years that have been better then any off the named players given.. highly doubt you could joker.
however.. i give full credit to the diggers knocking of ararat.. from what i hear.. a game that had everyone on the edge of their seats.
Guys like Breals, Al Fritsch, Tim and Nick Bone, Ben Walters, Batto, and some of the other younger 19-22 year olds who have shifted away in recent years...
Did you actually realise out of the 6 names you mentioned only 2 of them live in victoria.
Breals an nick bone in ballarat.
Alan fritsch in sydney - no chance.
Tim Bone 3 hours from mackay in queensland - no chance.
Ben Walters doesnt even play anymore lives half in victoria half in nsw when he's not in england - no chance.
Bato however is a chance.

Used to hang around with these blokes a bit but haven't spoken to any except Breals and Schultzy for a fair while. Was just checking, didn't know the movements of 'em is all. U know if Benny is still playing cricket?

Sooky Sooky Bubba - Well as some other Ararat watcher said those 5 players are all playing in the ones. I heard United did it with four of their top 10 out, one of the others playing on one leg and a handful of little kids just out of Under14's! So good on the U17 Diggers who beat the premiers of the last two years (and who get by each year by taking all the top age players from local surrounding leagues to make them competitive). If The U17 Diggers keep going well they should play finals which is a credit to the boys. Keep an eye on Nhill U17 for the flag this year
i wasnt counting the ones that played seinors which was 3 so that would make 8, and if you had alook at the ararat U/17 half their players are from under U/14 last year. as for taking all the top age players from other leagues thats bullshit they have 6 top age player 4 coming in different leagues, so keep digging round in your ass and find some thruth bout wat your saying. i wasnt having a go at the diggers U/17 i was just saying i wouldint look into the macth that much, from what i saw they deserved to win the game

Ha ha, there's some funny posts there Nardoo, I had a good chuckle. For some reason, Ararat produce good young footballers, but as Nardoo says, not many stay. I know of a few in Geelong, Pat Tucker, Ash Graham, Brett Dowie. All guns playing briliant footy, just not at their home club. Obviously no one wants to stay in a small place like Ararat, as is the same with Horsham, just that Horsham based clubs get a lot more players going back to their home clubs than Ararat does. Whether that becase Ararat is on the 'descent', as a few have said, I don't know,who am I to judge? :D

A sad time for not only the Horsham Saints Football Club, but for Horsham as a whole, with the passing of Allen Knott, a genuinely great bloke, and one who will be sorely missed by all those who knew him. Hopefully this tragic event can stir something in the Saints boys and they can give Horsham a red hot go for their money, in memory of the great Knotty.
RIP
Apparently there is an upcoming star in the U/17s called Nic Baird. It's said that he can work miracles on the football field, and changes games with his feet. Perhaps an AFL player in years to come?

Totally agree Bencoon. Great bloke, and very sad for the kids who have already been through enough. Both the school and the footy club are doing a great job supporting them. Lets hope the Mighty Saints have a red hot dip againist the dees!

Let's stay on topic thanks, guys. Especially you croweater 41, stop getting off the point of this thread. Should be disappointed in yourself, mate.
On a slightly brighter note, Adidas has just signed a 6 year sponsorship contract with young gun Nic Baird. Great news for the kid who is constantly struggling to afford quality football apparel.

Brim = shit. That simple =P
Very true:thumbsu:
Yeah Kelm pretty unlucky, he could fit in there.
Tucks No.1 but to his high expectations hasn't been as good this year with nagging injuries.
Haven't seen enough of Bligh this year but he always goes alright.
Any other opinions?
Yeah I think the form of Tuckey in the solarium this year has been sensational and he is now nearly the lovely dark colour of Gravo he of the sensational moral boosting speeches but someone must have locked the door on Tucks because he has not yet got out of the solarium to get a kick!
Arnel is easily in the top three as between him Johns and Batch that is the reason why Demons are so good.
Bligh is past it and will chase money in the MFL next year!
What is going on with the ground at Brim. Shut it down it is nearly as bad as the Catholic boys dung heap. Who wants to go to Brim anyway it takes too long. Shut down the whole town maybe or just let the soon to merge Mallee and North Central leagues use it for training. Not needed in the WFL any more Eagles stick to ANZAC park save money and concentrate on using runners as effective 19th players of which the current coach has a very strong background in!!

yeah i agree ARNEL is in the top 30.he has a turning circle of a B double ,The reason why s batchelor is going alright is because he is very protected by the umpires week in week out./..
You say bligh is past it.wake up your just jealous that you havent got half the talent and quality he does.
