As big as Stephenson sounds !? is he a fast leading f'forward or is he a marking forward, does he move around...
He's happy to lead. He's not super quick but he'll play from in front and lead making him bloody hard to get around. I reckon he is only comfortable kicking from a maximum of about 40m out though. Any further tests him IMO.

Spoke to a Dimboola supporter in Melbourne and he said Stephensen was the quickest at the club even over 100 and 200 meters!
just heard on the grape vine that justin clarke is returning to the Warrack eagles in 07 and taking a few handy beulah mates with him...anyone else heard these whispers...? would many beulah players cut it in the big league?

I dont think that he would be that quick.. He can move pretty well for his size but isnt lightning...
There would be a few beulah players that could play wfl easy... It depends on who he takes though...
heard the name hallam but found out their is two of them for beulah..not sure which one..also a mate from woomelang cats think his name is warren..lived with him in darwin...also heard that stephensen is the quickest bloke in the NTFL while up at darwin

Heard from a good source that three-time Horsham premiership coach Guy Smith will be appointed coach of Noradjuha-Quantong on Tuesday night. Simon Dandy is meant to be his assistant.
Not sure how Bunga and Farry will find this.
Good to see Davidson got the job at Nhill although I hear they are going to lose a few and with Beddison and Burdett coaching Pimp, I doubt he will get many to follow him.
Skurrie back for the Demons.

Heard over the weekend that Schumann wasn;t impressed that he didn't get the coaching gig again for 2007 and is going to take Price and Wilsch with him to wherever he goes. This would hurt the tigers big time with there ruckman and key forward to move on. Also heard that nhill want davidson to play but he only wants to coach from the sidelines. Nhill want some value for all the $$$ hes costing them!
If smith is appointed coach of Nor-Quanny you would think he target a lot of the demons fringe players to go with him.

they can;t keep this up for ever even Beulah not as good as they once were where they use to be a hard side to beat Horsham will one day struggle when they loose alot of their good players eg retirement their older players
wonder how long it will be before the eagles either a can;t compete with wfl Standard or be pick up some decent players or c Be like Jeparit and relocate back north :D

Very true the saints are trying to get Shane Hutchison as caoch with Jordan to come along with him. They should know by the end of next week. From what i hear they would need to offer huge coin to get them to sign but if the $$$$ are right they will sign from what im told.
Hutchinson a chance...jordan, never!throw some money to the man and theres your chance to see hutchinson at the saints...herd if the saints threw in a minny bus to get to training and games then he would bring 12 more quality BFL players with him!!
The saints would have been missing the likes of classy onballers mckinnon and giampolo this year wouldnt they??

David Law is most definitely the man all of the current Board would like to coach the club in the new season. The management structure of the club is gutted to be looking for a coach when we think we had the best in the league with us for the past two years.
Unfortunately the reigning WRCA Coach of the Year has a terminally ill sister in Melbourne and he has decided to commit himself to his family for 2007. He had agreed to extend his tenure by another year during the finals campaign but advised of his changed circumstances just after the AFL GF.

He's sold his business and is in the process of moving back. At this stage he has indicated a desire to scale back his football commitments for family reasons. Football has been the main job and/or source of income in his life for 18 years or so.
Probably will train regularly and attend matches at Alexandra Oval only.

Nhill have just announced that Travis Lannin from Kaniva Leeor will be there Assistant coach for 2007 season as long as he gets cleared. Should be a very handy recruit if he can stay fit. Has had big injury troubles over the last 2 years but would be a very good CHF CHB.
They have also got a new committee which will hopefully change the culture at the club and get them on the right track. They should also make sure the kick out all the **** heads that cause trouble around the club.
Will still need a few more players to make them a finals threat. I also don't know where they are getting all there $$$$$ from. They would be spending 15 on Davidson at least 8 on both price and lannin + a couple of more.
Will be interestin.
Any other coaching appointments to be annaounced Grimmett. Would Matt Jackson or Dougie Walton put there hand up to coach your rats???
Grimmett
25 Oct 2006, 23:07
Doubt Jacko would. He openly states he doesn't bother with coaches and just plays his own game.
I'd expect Doug Walton will apply as local rumours suggest he may have worn out his welcome at Tatyoon despite winning the flag this year.

I hear that Price, Schumann and Wilsckh are all heading to Jeparit Rainbow next year. This will be major losses for nhill especially the ruckman price cause nhill wont have anyone to cover his absence in the ruck.
Nhill are also trying to get bryce warner back from perth after having played the whole year in the South Fremantle Reseves. Nhill are also hoping to get Al Fristsch and a few other home grown players who have left back for a season but Al probably wont line up there i would think.
Big News that Mal Coutts is going to coach Bordertown in the KNTFL next year and is going to Take Peter MacFarlane and a couple of others from Dim with him. While on the KNTFL would Chris Walsh from Minyip Murtoa be a chance of playing at Kaniva Leeor after shifting to Kaniva for work? Kaniva are also on the look out for a coach after last years coach has left the area.
Also hear that Scott Batchelor was going to Dimboola but since horsham have signed up a gun Ruckman from the Western Border league he will be staying put at horsham ensight of 5th flag.

IS THE MONEY TRAIN COMING AJAR AT DIMMY !? Would that be a major coo for Bordertown, without being ignorant what is Coutts history !? it does sound a very familiar name in the wim.
Having seen MacFarlane play in recent years especially in Darwin I WOULD SUGGEST TO MACFARLANE & "OTHERS" NOT TO BOTHER WITH KNTFL ! it would be a major drop in standard going to the Kowrie Naracoorte from the wim, it's definately below W.F.L & the W.B.F.L ! especially for Macfarlane.
Who are those "others" from Dim that are supposedly linked w Bordertown !?
Is that gun ruckman that has signed w Horsham is'nt CLINT LANCASTER from Portland is it.If it is he'll be a big plus for the reigning premiers.

I'm not sure if you've seen any KNTFL footy BIGANT ?? Because there isn't much of a difference between it and the WFL, as i've seen a few WFL games the last couple of years and play in the KNTFL.
I doubt they would make a big difference.......However that being said, Bordertown have struggled on feild for the last few seasons and would have a lot of money in the bank to spend, they would need quite a few of Dimboola's & wanderers players to become a force.
Before Dimboola Mal Coutts has had a stint at Nhill, and Kaniva as coach & ass over the last decade, has a lot of footy smarts and contacts.

I agree budwinkle. I have played in both the KNTFL and WFl and the good teams in the KNTFL would well and truly mix it with the wimmera leagues teams. Players like Cooper, Copping, Smith, Smart, Gould, Adams, Carberry, Hartree, Curnow, Makin, Mocks, Dodson etc etc etc The list goes on.
Mal has been around to a lot of clubs thats for sure and brings and takes players with him where ever he goes so i wouldn't be surprised to see him take at least 3 or 4 players with him to Bordertwon. He has coached Kaniva, Gerang Kiata, Nhill, Kaniva Leeor and Dimboola. He is a level 2 or 3 coach as well i think. Certainly has the contacts in the top end at Darwin.

It is a interesting point bud !?....and yes i have seen KNTFL footy, i saw a gf up that way @ n'coorte a few yrs back !? - Penola's 1st under Daniel Clark i think !?.I've got no hesitation in saying & agreeing that ur top 3-4 sides in K & T would match it w WFL & WBFL sides. but they would'nt beat them !
Although i've never seen a WFL game i could'nt see the Naracoorte's, Lucindale's & Penola's gf sides getting within a cooee of WFL powersides of the past 5-10 yrs such as the Horsham's, Dimboola's & Warrack Eag's teams.
Also including WBFL sides (premiership sides/top 3) the Portland, definately South Gamb, Hamilton sides & throw in sides as far down as top 6 in wbfl.There is no way Naracoorte (Kntfl premiers) would have got close to Portland (Wbfl prems), same as South & Hamilton over the good Lucindales sides of late.
I think football has changed in the past 15 - 25 years & i may be right in saying that although the standard may have dropped in those 3 competitions from the 80's i'd be confident in saying that the WFL & WBFL would be still a class above the K & tfl.
That's no putdown on the KNTFL, coz it is a good comp, i just think it would be a waste of talent on Macfarlane & 'others' to play in the KNTFL !
Who are those 'others' from Dimmy anyway !

I rekon it would be great for the competion having the class of Peter Macfarlane, Harold Calma, Brad Stephensen, Shane Thorne and Colin Wilson playing in the KNTFL! Mal Coutts would be a great fit also for players who want a fresh start from other KNTFL teams and others around country VIC!

Know for a fact that peter macfarlane is back in Darwin and after that has signed up with his home town Sale. Also don't rate Mal Coutts as a coach or as the blokes at Dimboola call him 'name dropper'. Has a very high opinion of his coaching abilities.

Don't write off Horsham being Penny's second club, playing enough games during the year to qualify for finals.
Skurrie is 100% right, Jarrod Wright will be back and Adlington is with them full time after a year in the rebels.
They have also picked up a ruckman from Marybrough but I don't know his name.
At this stage they look 10 goals better than any other team.

I totally agree... I believe that Dimboola will struggle next year. I was just adding to the conversation thats all. The info u just put on was in the mail times so u could knock me over with a feather....
Ha ha. No probs. Wasn't sure where you were and if you saw the local rag or not.

Nhill will have a tough year and davidson will wish he didn't take the job on by mid year i would suggest. Nhill didn't want to fork out the coin for the three going to j/r although Schuman was never going to be there. He Was never going to be coach. The committee wanted him gone by mid year even if he took them to the finals.
Players who i believe will not play at nhill next year: Schuman, Wilksch, Price, Fritsch, Williamson, Cramer, Ryan and maybe Dodds.
Big trouble at Tigerland i would think.
Dimmy are going to have another good crack next year from what i have heard. Talking to Coutts Mcfarlane is going to Sale and Everitt will coach Dimmy. Coutts to be Team Manager.
If the eagles get J Quick that would be a huge pick up. I though he was BOG in there p'ship year a few years ago now. I think he player at Mt Pleasent a couple of years ago to.

Well it will be interesting to see if they clear them than... They are in a lot of trouble by the sounds of it than... What sort of coin were those boys on anyway? Must have been a bit if they cant afford to pay em 4 next year???

Good to hear Colin Wilson is happy to return to the Wimmera as he and his wife had to deal with some unsavoury off-field issues during the year.

Hes such a top bloke on the felid the dirty little ******** hits from behind and the runs away, SOOK!!!!!:D
Never said I rated his personal approach. ;)
He couldn't beat Scott Batchelor on the three occasions I saw them play as Batch just ran harder to the next contest every time Wilson whacked him behind play.

So the aboriginal boys - Wilson, Calma, Thorne & Stephenson, are still a question mark over there comings and goings for Dimmy next season !?

Wilson a certainly while Calma and Stephensen are still waiting there options! Most likely go somewhere together as they have done for the last couple of years! Thorne is staying put in Darwin also!

I was at the game that day! The only reason why Walder didnt do anything was cause Stephensen was standing waiting for something to happen!

Surely Wilson can handle himself, the other two Thorne & Calma just pot stirers are they...

Wilson is a stirrer who just tries to bait opposition players into reacting to his snide, behind the play crap. The better players ignore him and he becomes a liability when the opposition play through his direct opponent.
Thorne is an outside player who wants to razzle-dazzle with baulks, feints etc. Better suited to blowouts against weaker teams than the tight pressure of finals against Horsham. Would be fairly handy in a league like the NTFL that would be a more open style than Wimmera.
Happy was injured whenever the Rats played the Roos.

What was Stephensen like? Did he stir up the Ararat boys?

Strong aerial presence. Didn't appear to be the longest kick I've seen from a 190cms plus guy. Enjoyed matching up against Scott Turner during one of the games. Didn't need to show any menace so not aware if he has a mean streak or not.

Stephanson dosnt say much, Just goes about his business!! Thorne is a razel dazel player dances around players and makes them look stupid. Wilson reminds me of a player Eagles use to have Danial PK Parfett. Happy was good he never did anything stupid just played his game, Stephanson is just a big unit anyone in his way would get bumped out of the way.:D

Mainly Forward Pocket but used him as a loose man in defence during the finals! Wilson is a player who doesnt say much on the field but lets he's actions take care of that! Very hard for a player who is around 170cm tall and also has excellent skills and vision! One of the best ball users and hands of seen! Very passionate!

Big rumor that Mal Coutts is coaching Bordertown not much interest shown by Dimboola to after he signed with Bordertown
