Yep he has signed as far as i know. He may be wishing he didn't with the amount of players nhill are losing or are going to lose.
They are also having a fair bit of trouble on the recruiting front from what i hear. As i have said earlier on bigfooty i expect them to be closer to the bottom of the ladder than the top unless they recruit 8 quaility players between now and the 1st game.
For your info i expect schumann, wilksch, price, cramer, ryan, fritsch and maybe williamson to not be at nhill next year.

He is thinking about playing Roosters but he will most likely stay at Nhill. Will probably take a year off at home after finishing yr 12 in ballarat. Good young player though wouldn't be surprised if he got a Rooster's berth after a few impressive Rebels games last year.

From today's Ararat Advertiser:
Rats sign coaching tag-team
By HENRY DALKIN
Football's silly season is alive and well after Ararat Football Club president Trevor McKinnis yesterday announced the Rats had signed joint coaches for 2007.
McKinnis confirmed Tatyoon's 2006 premiership coach Doug Walton would leave the Mininera and District Football League to pursue his long-held ambition to coach the Rats in the Wimmera Football League.
Walton will share Ararat's top job with two-time WFL premiership teammate Matt Jackson.
McKinnis was delighted to announced his club's signings and said he was glad to have the senior coaching role sorted out.
He said Walton will be a huge asset to the club after his successful time coaching at Tatyoon.
"He has proven himself as a very capable coach," said McKinnis.
"He went to Tatyoon with our best wishes so hopefully he'll have their best wishes in his new role."
McKinnis said Jackson had indicated interest in the senior coaching job but was unsure whether he could commit enough time to the role, which made a joint role with a proven coach the perfect option.
The signing of joint-senior coaches came as a huge relief to the Rats after struggling to generate interest when they advertised the job.
Walton said he and Jackson had officially approached the Rats about coaching on Wednesday and that the club has been impressed with what they had to offer.
"We wanted to take on the role together," said Walton.
"We had talked about it before but it wasn't until this week that we decided not to let the opportunity slip."
Walton said he was certain there will be no animosity coming his way from Tatyoon after coaching the Hawks to two grand finals including last year's premiership.
"They aren't the sort of people to hold a grudge, I don't think there will be any ill feelings.
"They're a strong club and I can't see why they can't push for back-to-back flags, it'll just be under a different coach."
He said the players, officials and supporters at Tatyoon had all contributed to his success in 2005-06, and that he was proud to have coached the Hawks.
"The last two seasons have been the best years of my career," he said.
Walton plans to participate in Ararat's full pre-season training program and will be aiming to play in the red-and-white next year.
"I don't want to take a young guy's spot if I'm not up to it," he said.
"But if I get through a full pre-season and the body is feeling good then I'll definitely be aiming to play."
Walton and Jackson take the reins from David Law who had spent the past two seasons transforming the club into a family-oriented environment.
Law has landed a role coaching Penguin Football Club in the Northern Tasmania Football League.
McKinnis said the Rats will miss having Law around and that the coaches and committee will be working to continue Law's good work.
"David did so much for the entire club," said McKinnis.
"We wish him the best of luck for the future."
Ararat's focus now shifts to retaining its 2006 playing list and recruiting some new faces.

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.
50/50 on that one!!

Half right or half wrong depending on your viewpoint I suppose.
Jacko will have to pay attention to the coaching staff now!
It is good to know we are back on track though. Looking forward to challenging you Eagles guys again Warrack.

Grimmitt, graham has plans to head to adelaide with dan batson (if bato doesnt get redrafted). Or maybe try out with the roosters.. I cant really see him staying around at nhill as he is looking for work, loves the city lifestyle and nhill are not going to be that good next year by the looks of things.. he will want to continue the winng culture that he has grown to enjoy while playing for the rebals..

I have heard that as a result of Gerald Fitzgerald becoming the new coach of the roosters that not many players will be leaving there for the next season.. do you know if that means that Greig wont be able to get some of his mates back to warrak???? like everyone was hoping so that the league would become stronger

Goodluck to ararat with walton as the new coach, have heard he his a top coach but may have worn out his welcome at taty evrn after taking them to 2 GF's and a flag in the last 2 years.. Be interesting to see if he plays or is a non playing coach also

Initial reports out of Tatyoon were that Dougie had upset the apple cart in the post-premiership celebrations and would not be re-appointed.
However, I believe that he had agreed to coach Taty again in '07 and that his move back to the Rats will have the Hawks on the hunt for a coach once again. They won't be too happy about it either cos there first target would have been Matt Jackson.
At this stage Doug will train with the intention of playing. Will depend on injuries and the form of the young guys whether he does play or not.

Trawling around some footy sites and came across posts about two former WFL players in Marcus Burdett and Brad Miller.
Burdett spent much of the season in the Glenelg seconds and is rumoured to be high on the coaching wishlist for a few Victorian teams. Anybody else think that his old club St Micks would be keen on him? Would certainly fit their desire to attract a 'big' name.
Miller is listed by Perth fans as 'returning to Victoria'. Any suggestions whether it's back to the Diggers or elsewhere?

Miller has returned to Victoria and he will play with the Diggers seems a bit stronger and bigger will be worth watching and hopefully brings some more people thru the gate as Tuckey and Turner do for their respective clubs.

Big coup for United getting Miller. He's showing a lot of desire to knock off Horsham by travelling up there from Melbourne each week.
Even if they get the Donald blokes back I still think they are a few goals behind Horsham.

I'm pleased to hear it. He can coach country Vic sides whenever he wants but he can only play state level footy while he's of the right age and ability level. Gotta make the most of his opportunity while he can IMO.
Has Ararat recruited anyone with their new coaches? How are they shaping up?

Rumour is rife that Lenny Clark who was recently delsited from the brisbane lions rookie list is set to join his former club Minyip/Murtoa and his signing could result in the signing of some other major recruits.
have also heard that terrry arnel could be returning to birchip watchem and ruckman Zac Holmes will go there as well.

I just happened to be glancing thru this forum and came across peoples thoughts on Stawell next season. I think they will be a better outfit and ecspecially with the inclusion of Tuckey. However like every other year they keep talking the talk but dont deliver and I really believe that next season will be pretty much the same, however they will be a more competitive outfit. In relation to them getting a few Great Western players well I believe that only Boonga has come across at this stage and aren't aware of any others as yet.
Yes Stawell will be a good side this year!! They were ok last year but didnt have the big men. Tuckey will be a huge assit to them. :D

Just heard that Shep Swans are close to signing a couple of players from Darwin for the up-coming season! The two i know of is Dawin boy Brad Stephensen a 20 year old forward/ruckman who is about 6'5 and 100 kg and Shaun Gilbert who is orginally form Seabastopol! Both players play with Glenn Dundovic and Charlie Maher at Wanderers and should be a great inclusion to the Swans outfit!
Wheels are coming off the Roos wagon by the look of this post in the GVFL thread. MacFarlane is gone by all reports, now Stephensen and Mal Coutts has moved from the bench to Bordertown and may entice a few to go with him.
Drought will be biting into the cash reserves too making it hard to replace them. Looks like Horsham will be looking at a new #1 challenger come season 2007. The Roos run is done.

Dimboola- already lost lohde and Mcfarlin and big ?? on other darwin boys and jordy bell set to play in melb.
Burras-nick slattery a big ??? but 06 brisbane lion rooke lenny clarke may suit up and if he does will probably help to attract half a dozen good recruits . tucker still a chance??
Horsham- could be in line to lose a few, cam penny, leeming, terry arnel, zac holmes, dumesny and skurrie mightnt return, but in negotiation with gun ruckaman and a ex afl midfielder
Stawell- going real well apparantly

You have got no idea at all if you think dimmy will be playing off in the 2007 grand final. They have as much chance as nhill do at winning a premiership.
I would think it will between united, stawell and minyip murtoa with Horsham a certainey to win 5 in a row.

I thought Tucker had a family connection with Kalkee?
If he's willing to travel a bit of an hour to play at Edenhope/Apsley you'd think he would have stayed at Donald..
Donald are known for playing big money, the travel would be the same, he played in a flag there last year and the competition is better.
The edenhope thing is only a rumour though
The guy who said it swore black and blue that it was fair dinkum.
Know the new coach up there pretty well and can tell you that it is untrue mate

Most of the news items from the region since October have just been posted on the Ararat club website.
If you live outside the region this will provide you with an excellent update of much of the off-season happenings for the WFL, HDFL and area in general.
Ckeck it out at http://araratfc.vcfl.com.au if interested.
just read about waring, kelly and tucker along with a couple of 2nds boy all leaving ararat on there webb site. Also read on horsham league thread
paul dalziel is going to great western. Those out on top of scott turner, jon jess, david clark and posiibly a couple of kids palying rebels could be tough going for the rats.
Jay tucker speculation is endless why clubs waist there time on him is beyond me!

Tucker signs
EDENHOPE-Apsley has wonthe services of Wimmera Football League representative Jay Tucker.
The former Horsham United leader will be assistant coach to Aaron Langsworth. Tucker has played for Minyip-Murtoa, West Perth,
Donald and United during thepast few years.
Edenhope-Apsley president Neville Forster said Tucker, who is overseas, had signed for two years with the club.
He said the signing was a boost for the club on the eve of its Horsham District Football League debut season.
‘‘The recruiting is fairly positive and you wouldn’t do much better than the coach and assistant coach we’ve now got,’’ Mr Forster said.
He said the club was eagerly anticipating the start of the season.
Mr Forster was confident the football grounds at Edenhope and Apsley would be ready for the start of the season.

Cheers for that. Very disappointing on Jays behalf for leaving Donald after given indications that he would stay!

Must demand some big coin to make such large travelling and movements between clubs worthwhile???

Rumour is $1000 per game

If he is getting that much Edenhope Apsley won't be around for to long. He isn't worth that amount of money.
He does demand the coin though. Kaniva Leeor offered him 450 over the phone last year and he laughed at us. Was probably on 1000 per game at Donald.
But good luck to the power.
Also heard that Nhill missed out on a handy On baller from Ballarat in Wayne Schultz a former junior at the club many years ago. They hoping to get Al Fritsch to committ but hes not sure what hes going to do yet.

I thought David Law chucked in the Rats coaching job due a family illness in Melbourne and that he wasn't goping to coach as he wanted to spedt time with family?
Grimmett, perhaps you can fill me in how he has ended up at Penguin? My initial reading of his appointment there and my understanding of why he stepped aside at Ararat have confused me to say the least.
Hopefully you can place some light on the situation?

Jay Tucker = mercenary! Why clubs take him on has got me bluffed.
The dollar talks with him and he is certainly not going to win any best clubman award.
A big recruiting mistake for Edenhope Aspley in their debut season in the Horsham DFL in 2007.

No. You have read it exactly as it has occurred. Make of it what you will.
David publicly announced he was stepping down after initially agreeing to coach in 2007 due to the illness of his sister who would require assistance with her children.
He is now coaching Penguin on a two year deal with extension options.
There was an election for club chairman at the AGM with the challenger claiming he would hire Fish Turner which may have prompted Lawy to seek greener pastures. The challenger got rolled and the incumbent committee was returned and wanted Lawy to take on the role but to no avail.
Clear as mud really.

Thanks for the prompt reply Grimmett. What can you say! I am sure what has happened has not endeared himself to many Ararat committeemen and followers.
Ordinary to say the least in my opinion, especially to make some heartfelt statement and then change tack 360 degrees.
What is Scott Turner up to? Is he back liviing in Ararat?
Grimmett

Not yet but soon I think.
Will train with the club at times during the season and attend home games in all likelihood. Intends taking his son to see a few Richmond games and generally enjoying family life instead of being a footballer for the first time in two decades.
Will be invaluable to the coaching staff with his knowledge though as he's indicated he's happy to provide whatever assistance they might want. I'd expect the junior coaches to use him as a resource a fair bit. The Rats have some talented kids in the U17 squad who would benefit from some direct contact with an ex-AFL player.

That's disappointing for the Tiges. I know Schultzy personally and he always said he wanted to head back home and coach in some capacity up there. The man is very talented, and has leadership abilities aplenty something Nhill will need next season it seems like.
As far as I've heard though, Big Al will be back home by the start of next season and should line up for them. Haven't heard alot of any other recruits for Nhill, they're gonna have to tap into their junior ranks again i'd say.
Sonny's not at Nhill anymore, he's playing for Ouyen United in the Mallee league. Basically won the grand final off his own bat last year, and kicked a ton. He played at Dimboola before that, and carved it up there as well. But, he basically walked out on Dimmy b4 last season, after they gave him the coaching job there. He hasn't changed much, it would seem.

Tucker is a handy player. If he's getting $1000, I'd love to see what they'd offer Carr, Johns, Farr, Brad Miller or Marc Grieg
