BREAKING NEWS

Big Footy followers are privileged with this exclusive out of the Tonny Footy Club.
Tatura and GV Rep Michael Roberts has signed on for 2007, also confirmed Simon Harrison, and Brett Henderson as Chairman of Selectors.

Not a bad start Hank - will be quality players for you, no doubt. Who else have you got on the cards?

In other news, believe Barooga have made a massive play for Tatura big man, Paul Kirby, who is still tossing up whether to take the massive pay increase at Tatura, or head up the Hume to either Wangaratta or Albury..

Barooga have spent a lot of money over the last couple of years and look what its got them, surely the sponsers and other financial backers of the club would be getting fed up with the end results they have got the last couple of years. i know i would. but if they are getting all these gv and o&m players then it could be the year of the hawks in 07

Kerr is a fantastic bloke and has been a sensational player. He is 38 or something but keeps himself in top order. He will still be a good player. He had little success up my way with Woorinen even though he had a handy list. I heard on the grapevine disciplined waned at his time here.

Echuca United's senior list will remain the same as 2006. No new players have signed yet, but a couple of the thirds boys from this year, who have some senior experience will be stepping up to join the senior group. The Eagles will remain a force in 2007.

I have heard Dale Reyne is off tripping around Australia and Jarrad Nuttall and Troy McMaster (who was the b+f winner two years ago before having a knee reco last year) are heading out to Gunny/Leitchy. They are three big losses and if you add to that that McCarty will probably retire, they are going to have to pick up some handy recruits to be up there again.

To the best of my knowledge, Reyne has re-signed. Luan Marsh has signed from Bendigo Bombers. Nuttal and McMaster join 3 other Eagles from last year who went to Leitchville chasing coin. Leitchy also chasing young Josh Edgar, ruckman from Echuca.

November 29 2006
Shepparton News

Richmond Football Club continues to scour the Goulburn Valley for prospective talent, now turning its attention to Nathalia in search of the AFL's next big thing.
After already scooping the talentladen pool to the tune of Brett Deledio and Kane Pettifer (Kyabram), Chris Hyde (Barooga) and Daniel Connors (Echuca), the Tigers are zeroing in on two-time Murray Football League premiership player Drew Barnes.
The invitation to train gives 19-year-old Barnes a window of opportunity to impress selectors ahead of the pre-season draft midway through next month.
"I'm really happy to get this chance and I'm guessing it's going to be pretty full-on for the next couple of weeks," a delighted Barnes said yesterday.
"I'm not sure who put them on to me, but I received a letter basically inviting me to try out.
"My fitness may have dropped off a little bit since the season finished, but I'm working at getting that back again."

Barnes, along with rising Mooroopna star Jarrod Harbrow, ran a 2 km time trial on Sunday before the Tigers' hierarchy put them through their paces in a series of speedendurance activities.
"I was pretty happy with the time trial as I finished in the top three from the 15 that were trying out," Barnes said.
"I did the 2 km in 7 min 8 sec and while Jarrod was behind me he still did pretty well too."
This year's Purples best and fairest winner will no doubt cover some kilometres in forthcoming weeks, continuing his work at Bennett Sports in Echuca while pursuing his big break into the AFL.

Pretty sure Willo not coming back, back for xmas and thats it. If this off season is like any of his others he may have blown out anyway. Plenty of Murray Bombers boys been to see him over in W.A so would be a game move to come home and then play at Moama.

Byers not held in high regard at Shepp?

Shepp News Today
Recently appointed Barooga coach Matt Byers has emphatically denied suggestions he has specifically targeted former Shepparton teammates for next season.
"I've heard those comments and I've a fair idea who's made them, but it's just not the case," Byers said.

"Like every season there's a lot of rumours flying around at this time of the year, but that one's not true."

A letter received by The News suggested Byers had actively sought to recruit former Bears teammates including Marc and Sean Harrap, Jeremy O'Brien, Nick Allan and Paul Mason, despite a public statement by Byers last month that Shepparton players were off-limits."I haven't and I wouldn't do that because I want to maintain a healthy relationship with the Shepparton Football Club," Byers said.

"A couple of guys indicated to me that they were keen to have a change of scenery and I'd be crazy if I didn't invite them to come and try out at Barooga.

"I've spent a lot of time at Shepparton and have a lot of friends there and don't want to be creating bad blood with them.

"Who's to say I mightn't have a crack at coaching the club one day down the track if that opportunity became available."

Wes Cusworth - Shepp News Today

We've hit the silly season and not just because Christmas is approaching.
It's that time of the year for player movement in football circles and accusations of poaching are flying thick and fast across the state, none more so than in the Goulburn Valley.

As the finger is pointed at various local identities, including 2005 Morrison medallist Matt Byers, some salient points need to be kept in perspective.

A coach's credibility in the modern era hinges on on-field success - pure and simple.

A coach is derelict in his duty to his employer - the club - if he fails at the end of the day to deliver results.

For that reason a coach must leave no stone unturned in his quest to assemble the most talented playing group possible for the club.

At times that objective is only achieved by aggressively pursuing players that meet the club's needs, undoubtedly stepping on a few toes along the way.

An alleged spate of offers to Shepparton players from Matt Byers is at the foundation of some angst expressed by some Shepparton supporters.

While I'm in no way privy to Byers' relationship with his former teammates and can't attest to the accuracy of the accusations levelled by the Bears, I can only imagine the former Goulburn Valley Football League star is simply doing his job in his new role.

At the end of the day Byers' success as a coach and consequently his potential to move up the coaching ladder and possibly back into the Goulburn Valley league is inextricably linked to the wins column while at the helm of Barooga.

If making overtures to players looking to broaden their football horizons is a part of that journey, then so be it.

While it's a convention in footy not to deplete a side when the opportunity for success presents itself to an individual elsewhere, the times they are a-changing.

Football is a business now, plain and simple.

The Riddell league is a reasonable standard- not as good as Murray, perhaps a bit better than KDFL.The majority of good players from the Riddell league area end up in the Ballarat and Metro leagues if they are chasing money.

From someone who see's a bit of both comps Id say the RDFL & KDFL are the same standard, so guess we'll see how good Lee James is when he goes up a grade or two in standard. Very good player yes, but wont always have it his own way in the MFL.

To the best of my knowledge, Reyne has re-signed. Luan Marsh has signed from Bendigo Bombers. Nuttal and McMaster join 3 other Eagles from last year who went to Leitchville chasing coin. Leitchy also chasing young Josh Edgar, ruckman from Echuca.
Are Nuttall and Mcmaster any good? The three chasing coin last year were Phil Hazelman who was ok, Ryan Prendergast who is a unco but can play the game and the last is little Dylan Stevenson who cannot even kick 25 metres.Josh Edgar plays reserves doesn't he.

Doesnt seem much on nathalia guys. where are they at? are they going for 3 in a row or are some of their players leaving?

Nathalia are going well, appointed a coach in house who will keep all the crew together. The three gemmills, Parker all staying. Barnes missed out on rookie draft today so I imagine him and Ryan Butler will play VFL but qualify to play finals for Nathalia. That's just what I imagine, I haven't spoken to either of them.

By looks of it they will not lose as many as they did after the 2005 flag..

They've lost Snelson, Lucas would be unlikely to do what he did again but he does have close ties with the coach.

Like all clubs they're talking to plenty of players but I know they are going to put a lot of energy in getting Vallender back from Benalla, Quinn from Kyabram and Ramsdale from Yarra.

I think the only reason tatybulldog put barooga and mulwala on top is because of all the talk about them and not much of nathalia.

i was chatting with a mate from nathalia and he said they will be loosing a few. he said parker isnt a certainty either. so thats why i think nathalia will drop off.

Agree....Nathalia still have to be bench mark i reckon until someone seriously challenges them but would expect Barooga and Mul too this season, might make an interesting finals series for a change

i had a meeting with the coach the other day and the only couple so far that are going is Snelson, Lucas, Butler and Barnes but butler is keen to have nathalia as his second club not sure about barnes. The rest of the boys are keen to go for a try at a third flag in a row because of the long drought that was between these two flags and the one in 1978

Nathalia
Barooga
Mulwala
Eunited
Tocumwal
Congupna
Numurkah
Finley
Deni
Rumba
Tongala
Cobram
Moama

How many leagues are there represented by the clubs that are playing in the Murray FL. I know that Rumbalara were in the Central Goulburn before being allowed to join the Murray league. Moama, Echuca United were with Northern Echuca as well. Is that all or is there more??

like most clubs nathalia is in talks with a few players. yes on paper they are big outs but lucas played a handful of games, snelson came halfway through the year, butler and barnes will hopefully qualify for finals if that happens. but i still think you are writing nathalia off way to early.

Lucas lives in WA (so travel is a bit of an issue!!), Barnes, Butler having a crack at higher standard footy. Snelson dropping back a league(KDL).

Archibald met with Yarra, Albury and Lavington in the O&M over the week end. Likley to go to Albury I understand due to connection with Spargo when at Richmond.

I'd reckon Barooga might be in the box seat. Plenty of cash to splurge and he lived with Tim O'Dwyer in Melb when he was at Richmond.

McGuane was the reason Gisborne have had so much success, yes Toll got him there in the first place. Can't see McGuane stepping back to the country, I'm sure that there will be jobs downtown for him for many years to come. The inclusion of Stevens at Moama is a huge bonus and maybe he is the man they will look to to lead them post 2007 and be Moama's McGuane!
