was looking through the kdfl website and discovered some disturbing stats
Year Premier Goalkicker
2005 Tallygaroopna Wayman (Tal)
2004 Rushworth Canavan (Rus)
2003 Stanhope Exell (Sta)
2002 Ardmona Yze (Ard)
2001* Lancaster Exell (sta)
2000 Stanhope Exell (sta)
1999* Nagambie Irwin (Rus)
1998* Nagambie Canavan (Sta)
1997 Undera Giles (Und)
1996 Ardmona Loveless (Ard)
In the last 10 years only 3 sides have won it without the league leading goalkicker in their team. the last being 2001:eek: Should Ardmona be favourites? would love to hear your thoughts
My thoughts are, you have to much friggin time on your hands buddy. Get home from the Roadhouse OK the other night.
Congratulations to Molisak, his stellar performance against us in the last round probably got him over the line. well done also to lowey for almost going back to back and to hoota for polling 8 bog's, is that a record? anyone from rushy confirm that A.Clarke won back to back leaugue medals?
Yeah back to back, but not something I would be pumping up as he should have played seniors all year instead of running around again in the 3's

There's nothing on the shepp news site bodsy.
The clubs normally come away with a sheet printed out of who polled and in what games so if you had someone go over for the night they might have one.
Reading the article Molly polled in 13 matches. Not a bad effort from the little man.
Thanks cosby, i'll ask around back home!!
Congrats to molisak, especially for polling in 13 matches considering they only won 9 i think it was thats a very special effort!! :thumbsu:

EDIT: Just forget the above post..... I need some sleep!
Just a few interesting ones from the league medal last night.
* Corey Carver kicked 5 goals from the midfield on sat'd but didn't recieve a vote, yet a young guy from nagambie got 2 votes even though the margin was 140 plus points. Surely in a win as big as that the winning team has the three best players?
* Brendan white received three votes for his game against Girgarre, in which he only played 1 and a half quarters before goin off with a knee injury. Perhaps the umps thought his form on the bench was quite good?
* Lancaster vs Stanhope, Hooda was BOG from most peoples point of view yet didn't recieve a vote at all.
There was a couple of others like that.
Any other interesting ones out your way Lingy or Tavis?

Stanhope won by 10 goals on the weekend and Rassy got 1 vote he played a good game but i thought didnt deserve a vote as we had better players out there like Magget Emmet who kicked 7 goals 5 and didnt recieve a vote, Hoota to me was 2nd best after Magget yet was also overlooked. Both the players that recieved votes for us only put in 2 quarter efforts and took out the 3 and 2 votes. Also Lowey was tipped by everyone to get the 3 votes in the last game and didnt get a vote... Big Huggy took out the 3 and from what was said didnt paly all that well....So the umps that we had and Ardy had in the last round either cost Hoot or Lowey the Medal. Well atleast there is a bigger prize on offer at the end for these two boys.

To be honest I have no idea. I know that there is a number of people the club is talking to and have been very happy with where we stand at the moment. The club would love these people around and as you seen with our young blokes on the weekend I think we can look forward to next year.:thumbsu:

agreed, there are some good kids, and with the right man in charge and recruits, i can see a bright 07 at the swans nest, watson would be ideal for this, wouldnt you have to say mappo, and if he did get the job he would play as well?
Have I missed something here lads, thought all the talk was a Pearce/Rattray joint venture :confused:

The leagues umpires can't make the correct decisions let alone chose the correct players to get votes on a saturday. Taking nothing away from Molisak but the last time rushy played tally he would of had about 15 touches they got beat and luke ratcliff was there best by a mile yet couldn't get a vote.

Tips for this week:
Elimination Final
Yea to defeat Rushy by about 4 goals
Rushy have impressed, but the two times I've watched Yea they have performed very well. They should be able to get over an inexperienced Rushy.
Qualifying Final
Ardy to defeat Lancaster by 2 goals
They only played once and Ardy won pretty comfortably. If they play to the occasion I reckon Ardy should be able to get up, just.

The Shepp News has had Tim Bone taking the set penalty last week after being reported against Stanhope. I heard that he was going to fight the charge in a bid to play in the elmination final is this right Roaring Tiger??

Im confused did Tim even take the set penalty & if so will get a fair hearing if he did admit some guilt last Satdy? We all wanna see the best players playing finals so good luck to Tim & Rushy tonight at the tribunal :thumbsu:
Bit misleading below as Yea will be missing 3 of their best 18 thru injury.
Yea at peak of powers
August 31 2006
Shepparton News
Yea co-coach Adrian Wilson has confirmed the Southern Tigers will enter Sunday's elimination final with a full list at their disposal.
For the first time this season, the reigning Central Goulburn Football League premiers will have up to 26 players to select from, which looms ominously for Rushworth.
"It's a good position to be in," Wilson said yesterday.
"I think it's the first time it's happened this year, but it's the right time for it to be happening.
"We know Rushworth will be a tough opponent, but we're in the finals and we're chasing a premiership."
During the course of the season, the Southern Tigers have slowly gathered momentum, with many pundits believing they have what it takes to climb this year's summit.
But according to the man in charge of their destiny, the fruits of their labour will only be realised through honest hard work.
"We've probably exceeded many people's expectations, including our own, but that won't count for anything if we lose on the weekend," Wilson said.
"They played very well when they knocked us off and we played very poorly.
"We've picked up a few handy players since then, but it should be interesting."
While the Southern Tigers will enter the cut throat encounter without a worry in the world, Rushworth has already lost utility Tim Bone through suspension.
Bone accepted a one-week penalty for striking at the weekend, while hard-working onballer Ivan Rakic will front the tribunal tomorrow night on a misconduct charge.
Yea plays Rushworth at Ardmona from 2 pm.

Tips for this weekend
Seniors
Lancaster V Ardmona (5pts)- could go either way
Yea V Rushworth (10 pts) - will step up at finals time
Reserves
Ardmona V Stanhope (20 pts) - I think saucehead will play at FF and smash em
Lancaster V Undera (15 pts) - can't see either team going far in finals but lancy slightly better team imo
Thirds
Lancaster V Nagambie (35 pts) - Young Lakers will make a statement
Yea V Rushworth (50 pts)- one of 3 teams i think can win it (avenel & nagambie the other 2)
Good luck to all finals competitors this weekend:thumbsu:

yea have a very handy thirds side when they're full strength albo, but i would imagine they would have at least ash walsh and possibly daniel belsten playing seniors this week, so they wont be near the strength they were at against the swans. also, if rushworth get rolled in the ones, i would imagine shane lambden would drop down to the thirds for the rest of finals, who would be as good as anyone in thirds. i reckon it'll be lakers playing swans again for the title, which i think would be great.

Nah, I reckon Stanhope should still be favourites (not that it really matters, it's all about getting the job done on the day). Someone posted that Stanhope have a good spread of goalkickers, which is probably preferable.
Still, it's an interesting stat.
Stanhope are an 8 goal better team than anyone else in the comp, more if they have a good day. I thought they were unbeatable last year and they slipped up, but they have a better team this year and are fitter and keener. Don't worry about their hardness, too many people get on here and question how tough they are, yet they have a better record against Ardmona (Tough guys) than anyone else. Maybe OTM can fill us in on there last 3 results against Ardmona. They are a very even team and all players are capable of bobbing up and causing real damage. Was interested to listen to the League vote count on Monday night. Reconfirmed that Hoota is by far the best player in the comp. Was killing them early in the year and then injured his knee. You could pretty much guarantee from mid year on that whenever Stanhope played in a big game, Hoota would be amongst the votes. OTM, i know you are a wise football man and I watched Stanhope play last week and I know you are familiar with the team, they had Manny, Boots, Pearce and Rick Sheers out. Matty Evans is an obvious one to go, who will be the other three if Stanhope have a full list?

went and watched avenel vs nagambie yesterday at gig play off for a spot in the granny. good close match for the first three quarters but then avenel blew them away in the last quarter, probably kicking about 6 or 7 goals to about 1. young stevo stood up again when it counted and kicked a lazy 6, while jacko wheeler played probably the best game ive seen him play.
on a more disappointing note, i was fairly appalled with what happened in the second quarter, with sam martin being king-hit while the ball being fetched from behing the goals for a kick out. i didnt see the actual contact, but i saw him on the ground and the only player being within 10 metres of him was no. 9 of nagambie. marto looked to bleeding fairly heavily, was amazed to see return in the second half. only hope that if these two sides meet in the grand final, that the league appoints umpires who can control the game (maybe brocky or meeky?), because if the game were to beyond doubt with say 10 minutes to go i could easily see it turn very ugly. There was certainly no love lost between the two sides before the game yesterday and things have only gotten worse.

didnt get over to watch but very surprised with that scoreline, after yesterday felt Yea was only side who could worry Stanhope. Thought they were gone at 3/4 time but awesome effort to win from there and poor from Ardy to not be able to finish them off, if they couldnt get over the lie yesterday they never will in the forseeable future. Wishart was great, Weeks on Meka was an awesome display of strength, Meka would have 20kg on him but had the better of him one on one. Gray didnt have a big influence which is just another bonus for Stanhope. Must admit they were killed out of the middle in the 2nd and 3rd 1/4s and must rectify that for the GF. Just the little scare they needed to make sure they dont let this one slip.

What happened there? Lancy too much run? I thought Yea were a genuine contender, must have been dissapointing.
Very disappointing Al never in it after Mitchell cut loose from teh 15-25 minute mark of the first term (5 goals).
No worse way to end a season than to go down without a yelp. Last two times the Tige's played Lancy they were outclassed and yesterday guys that usually handle the ball cleanly didnt, and those that generally use the ball well didnt either.....no excuses just not good enough against a hard running side.
Two reports (McKinna & Milliken) didnt help, and in form defender Ben Milliken unable to return after Orr's brilliant upper cut (as good as you'll see) caused some real damage to his right eye. Cant believe Orr chose to contest it, take one week and be ready for the granny I reckon.
You dont mind losing if you know you gave it your all - Im just shattered for Lordy & the other army boys who r leaving the area thru work, Lordy has said he's now retired, disappointing after a day that the boys just didnt fire a hot.
Doubly disappointing for young AJ McCarthy who woulda taken mark of the day any other match of the year, but I think Mitchell's grab pipped him jnust!!!
Orry did take the week Doona, I think the shepp news just ran with it when we were undecided what to do after the game, he did throw a couple, as did many involved, but he is adamant he didn't cause the damage to Milliken.
Mitchell's mark was a beauty, the kicker should get some credit though. ;)

Benny aint too worried about it, he's more spewing he decided to go in and help his mate McKinna!!! :thumbsu:
Do ya's plan that stuff with Mitchell at training? He took just as good a mark on Peter Kiss at Lancy a month ago.
Geez I hope ya's can run Ardmona ragged, honestly feel a Stanhope/Lancy GF would be fitting, two best sides of 2006 I reckon from what Ive seen.

Mitch had the sit at that moment and we know he has a good leap on him. With the performance he put on in the first quarter he was full of confidence to go for a leap.
We'd definately need to play twice as good as we have the two times we've come up against Ardmona this year. Both times we've sat back and watched and been flogged as a consequence.

Something I think we've at Yea used since 2003 to be honest, gives a playing coach a chance to communicate with the sideline help - wouldnt look too much into it mate ;)
The less said about it the better - one of those days Im afraid, like I said earlier today disappointing for all involved.

Surprisingly one sided game between Yea and Lancaster. I would have thought the Tigers had more grunt to get themsleves over the line, but not to be.
It sounds like Mitchell was the gamebreaker.
Who would you rather have in your team, Mekka or Mitchell?

Mitchell, With Mekka there seems to be a 12 foot fence around the goal square. Wouldn't chase Jennifer Hawkins that bloke.

very different styles. both get the job done. Have to say mitchell, as meka doesn't seem to have much going for him as a bloke:o Also Mitchell's defensive skills are probably a bit better.
Thoughts for this weeks matches
I think Ardie in a close one, Lancaster to have plenty of run on the big ground, but without Carver and Orr , just not quite enough.
Reserves, Tally easy, seem to have half there senior team from this year playing. Dont no how lanky made it this far.
Thirds, Nagambie, have 4 or 5 blokes will break rushy. Although the guy who won the medal for rushy, he can play, will be very good in years to come.
Cosby, who will replace Lancasters losses, is Brezza White fit?

Although yesterday's clash between Yea and Lancy was a bit of a fizzer, the Ardy v Lions clash had a bit of everything - hard hitting contests, fluent ball movement, couple of blues, and probably wasn't over til there was only 5min or so left in the game..
Still a bit undecided on Lancy - they should be able to get over Ardy this week, but Orr and Carver will be massive losses. Don't think it matters too much, to be honest, Stanhope got the fright that they needed, and Ardy blew there massive (and probably only) chance of beating them. Now Stanhope get an extra week's rest, which is massively important for Hoot, but Ardy will run out of legs, and even if they win this week, expect a massive blow out the week after.. The lions just have blokes capable of bobbing up at the right time, like Rick Sheers and Dave Hansford in the last quarter, and they are too even across the board. Wishart was easily best on ground, but in my eyes the inform big man of the comp played yesterday - thought Morgs was outstanding - tough, agile, skillful..
hahaha, Tav you should've posted that on the humour board.

Hey guys, just wondering how stanhope were going at the moment. I played a game for them earlier in the year. Must be nearly grand final time. Will they be contesting like they thought they would at the start of the year??
Stanhope have already made it through to the Granny, Bomber, and look like a pretty safe bet to take it out.
Doona2, how many of the Yea blokes are you thinking will be lost from this year? Are you putting up your hand for the coaching job again?
Something I think we've at Yea used since 2003 to be honest, gives a playing coach a chance to communicate with the sideline help - wouldnt look too much into it mate ;)
The less said about it the better - one of those days Im afraid, like I said earlier today disappointing for all involved.
Doona, that was a very disappointing way for Yea to exit. Thought both sides were going to be very evenly matched but you do have those days. Handling errors and terrible decision making (which will always happen when under pressure or perceived pressure) were what killed the Tigers. Some very costly dropped marks and skill errors by very experienced players, when some of the young blokes see that they lose a bit of confidence. Anyway, all the best for your coaching gig next year at Broadford !! Remember what's happened to the last 2 coaches there though, take your own sword!
Showy, dont go into the BBQ area unless you are prepared to cook !! Heard a rumour Patty Rattray was interested in the coaching gig at Nagambie for 2007. Had even spoken to a couple of committee members about his chances, just a rumour though. :)

Ardy to beat lanky this weekend by around the 20 to 30 point margin. Rushy will win the thirds and go through to the Grand Final. They have got a couple of players who have been playing seniors all year so they should help get the job done.
Nagambie are going to need a lot more than Rattray to get them going in season 2007. They need about 10 players to make a reserve side for starters.
Heard that Girgarre are going up to Darwin to get recruits for next season. Should be a winner for them like this year!!
Any other news on player coming and going or coaching changes and appointments for the 2007 season?

You mean showy#1 went for a feed at the BBQ after that bag of chips I brought him!!!
For those interested Avenel blokes out there, the police have caught the little pricks that broke into the club rooms.:thumbsu:
A 16 year old boy and 14 year old girl from Queensland, seems they where hungry after Driving all that way. They had been breaking into places the whole way down and finally got caught in Melbourne.
Unfortunately it probably means with them being so young that theres no chance of getting them to fit the bill to fix everything they have broken.

I was speaking to one of the avenel committee memebers the other night at the avenel pub, (i wont name names because where's the fun in that). i questioned him about the rumour that Patty was in line for the coaching gig at avenel next year, and he laughed in my face. so i think we can put the rumour to rest, thank christ!
Also heard that young joeyboys elder brother is a chance next year to coach avenel, is he willing to leave a set bendigo league team to coach a wayward swans side.:confused:

I'm on the committee Full Back, and I don't see a problem with Patty. Infact he has a good FOOTBALL brain.
And the club is seeking applications for all coaching roles, so if Joey boys Brother was interested (which I struggle to believe, but would love) all he has to do is submit an application.
I haven't heard from any of the other committee members anything about Patty applying to be the senior coach, but personally I would like him back at the Club.

'The Rattray to Nagambie for the coaching gig' rumour is gathering some momentum, could there actually be some truth to the rumour?? Rattray has been linked to about 5 clubs by all reports, commonly Seymour, Avenel & Nagambie, the season is yet to finish and whispers have Patty lining up at CHF for Avenel, FF for Nagambie, FP for Seymour & 'on the ball' for Longwood in '07. So is there is a chance Patty could be lining up at lakerland in '07, with all the inuendo that circulates the big footy pages, who knows, but here's some fuel for the fire!! :D
After Nagambie being in a pickle this year with lack of numbers and support, i can confirm that Patty has had 'informal discussions' with some NFC officials who will go a long way in deciding who is at the helm next year, and they were somewhat impressed with his football nous however there would be some provisions in place, (eg: who would be his assissant or possibly co-coaches) if he got the nod.(supposing he goes ahead & applies).. I'm led to believe a host of former Nagambie players & Seymour and Avenel mates are keen & would be lured back to the club...
Whispers lead me to believe there are 3 names in the pipeline for the coaching gig at Nagambie, all of whom have had 'informal discussions' with members of the footy club, & Patty wouldn't be the frontrunner at this stage, due to no formal approach as yet.. But who knows there's every chance Patty may stay a Lion or could even end up being a 'Blue' as the free beer at the 'Tonny Pub' might just get him over the line, & could this post end up just being another one of rumour & inuendo...:D

You might be onto something there koshy, have heard on the grapevine that Shiels & Auld are keen to help out in some capacity, whether or not its co-coaching i'm not entirely sure. Also i think a few 'retiree's' are finding it difficult to watch the club struggle and are offering their support in whatever capacity they can & after 37 pots in the Top pub a fornight ago the lakers new look magoo's forward line consists of the intimidating 2-prong attack of Moore & Dalton!!

Would be good to see a few of the nagambie old-stagers head back to the club to help out..I don't reckon they'll be down the bottom of the ladder for too much longer given the talent of their junior players - provided they can keep them, of course..
I reckon Lancy are in with a real show tomorrow.. It was a very bruising affair in tough conditions last week for the cats, and they're not as fit as some people reckon..Haven't heard if Orr got off or not, but if he and Coach carver were out, it would hurt the bats, but I'm predicting they'll get up.. Mitchell to kick 7 and Morgs to get best on (like Wishart did last week against a loose checking Ferrari)..

In regards to patty going to nagambie, he is great mates with ben hutton who is probably returning to his home town after completing uni this year. Chances are if Pearcey got the job patty would go there as would the majority of the players that left this year, eg. brian morris scott paulke brent Clydesdale etc. will be watching this evolve closely as it looks like Big shaun pearce is the key to both avenel & nagambie hopes next year at this stage. While the P-train will be concentrating on his current teams tilt at a flag he may have some big decisions to make in the near future.

I reckon the game might be a bit closer than some expect hank. The last time ardy were in a grand final they were under dogs and won it easily(aganist Lanky). If they are to win Meka would have to kick 10 though. One area i reckon they have stanhope covered is in the ruck as ferrari is a lot better than wishart and goodbody.
Good luck to the rushy boys in the under 18's i reckon they have a huge chance of bringing home the flag with andrew clarke and shane lynch 2 of the most talented younger players going around in this area and also to the A Grade netballers who are going for 3 or 4 in a row.

Stanhope easily for me - there are a few blokes at Ardmona who are more than capable of losing it in the pressure cooker situation and do the undisciplined. Can we also expect to see some vintage Perry Meka ranting and raving in what may be his last game?

I've got no doubt Meka(Weeks has got his measure) will go out with a bang, especially seeing him last week lean over the fence and give a don't argue to the throat of a 15yr old. Just hope that if and when he does go off that no one uses any racial slurs to give him an excuse for his actions and allow him to get away scot free once again.

"I reckon the game might be a bit closer than some expect hank."
I think a majority of the KDL world expect it to be close and some would expect Stanhope to fall over again.
"One area i reckon they have stanhope covered is in the ruck as ferrari is a lot better than wishart and goodbody."
As was mentioned by Mainland, Wishart was best on last time they met!!
Ferrari is a good tap ruckmen and can give their onballers first use but doesnt do enough damage around the ground, have seen him take some good marks in his time though.
In closing Stanhope have them covered in all areas except onball where they were found wanting in the 2nd Semi, they will arrest that with Gray having the weeks rest and would expect them to start with another in and under player in there for the GF(James Weeks, Adam Auld(tag Lowe) or even Marcus Emmett)

20 yrs in the comp never seen him clock any1 hes week.
Ardy totally will lose it, u have 2 b 100% in all areas to win a flag.
I cant believe all the crap I read about player A 4 Ardy is better than player B from Stanhope.
If u went through the whole lists on age skill and ability, Stanhope by 30 pts min.
I will guess 4 yellows and a red for Ardy by half time and PEZZA will be one of them. Lets hope we see teary retirement number 6,7, 8. :)

I must read a bit slower, took me about 55 seconds but yes, it was !
NFC are heading in the right direction bringing along the kids and the 'host' of players likely to return would have done so anyway, no matter who was at the healm !! There are a couple of prospective coaches in the pipeline, good to see it being done now rathere than later so the club can get on with recruiting and retention and sponsorship.
Good luck to Patty wherever he goes, he is a good PLAYER but needs a fair bit more time to develop any skills as a coach !

Would be good if Mantis came out of retirement and coached the 18's with Dalton as his a/coach. As for playing I think work, kids, beer and golf take up too much of their time. :eek:

Albo's, are you intimating that these players left because of who was coaching and on the committee etc ?? Scotty Paulke left because he wanted to 'play in a flag' again before he retired and Morrie went with him to Longwood. Although he didnt win a flag he did win the league medal so good on him. He 'may' return with Morrie. Brent Clydesdale had work commitments this year, that is why he didnt play. Hutto made a bit of cash at Wedderburn and played with his mates from Bendigo, that is why he didnt play. It has nought, nil, zip, jack all to do with who WAS there this year, which is what your post intimates. They left for their own reasons, nothing to do with anything else. As for Pearcey, I asked the club to chase him as at least he has some coaching experience with Avenel CC so he is miles ahead of those without it! I won't be there but I certainly wish them all the best but $$ is always going to be the problem !

Was pretty gutted as the final siren went, as they say, 'so close but yet so far'.
I was pretty proud of the boys and the way they played on sat'd. A couple of guys really stood up when it mattered, Ash Jones, Stephen Ryall up from the two's for I think his first game of the season and Steven Cail across half forward.
It wasn't to be, but we certainly had a real crack from start to finish which is all you can ask for.
Bring on 2007.
Just on the ground- it was fantastic, and even though the showers were freezing (turn the hot water systems on boys!!), with the new rooms the only things holding it back from getting the GF next year would have to be parking and it's location in relation to the rest of the league, wouldn't it?
Best of luck to the king of ling and the stanhope boys this weekend.
I have to agree with most others here and say that the weekends game would've taken a bit out of Ardy, not to mention the loss of Brereton and the their young wingman (not sure of his name), both whom give them alot of run and link up from the back line.
Stanhope by 6 goals.

But I have to admit when we played Ardmona up there towards the end of the season they where really good. They only bashed the kids.

Before I got there I heard all this stuff about them and it hasn't lived up to the hype. There was the Rushworth incident in the thirds. The reserves had two players reported and suspended and I don't recall any seniors players being reported (could be wrong though).
Anyway, seniors and ressies both in the grand final. Not bad for a club that indulges in 'biting, spitting, tripping, sniping, elbowing, kicking' as regularly as people think. It's a wonder the club has enough players to fill both teams.

As from what I saw from Ardy they play it hard, like it in close etc etc but after the siren goes it's all forgotten. Lets just hope for some ripper contests to end a good season of KDFL footy.

Have to admit, not a bad year for you guys. Only a couple of incidents of blokes (or bloke) leaning over fences and having ago at supporters (kids)and the third's one you mentioned. You guy's should be proud of your year. But I can tell you all of the above stuff I mentioned happens and I have been on the recieving end the year our two's had to play them three times in four weeks to win the flag. Kicking, Biting (little finger), tripping and one even grabbed me by the B@lls. So mate you are kidding yourself if you think it doesn't happen. Or hang on I know, everyone else is wrong and your right.:thumbsd:
