Murray Football League

[Doona2]

Derek trained well at Rumba tonight on the back of Phil Guthrie announcing he is having a break from Footy could be short term, could be for ever was what he said.

Repurt Betherus made a surprise appearance at training and is inline to play on the weekend, along with Derek's younger brother.

And welcome back Clayton we missed ya mate, I knew you wouldn't leave us.

Hey Morgs I could do with another tall forward, any chance you could send thru Phil's number ;) Just kidding, has been a bloody handy footballer over the years and seemed a true gentleman to go with it, let's hope he aint lost to footy forever :thumbsu:

[ringo1]

Yeah have to agree-Guthrie a dominant forward that worked very hard to present all day-Not a bad pick-up from Cootamundra NSW:thumbsu:

Repurt Betherus made a surprise appearance at training and is inline to play on the weekend, along with Derek's younger brother and Corey Wanganeen a big chance to play his first game in Rumba colors with the VFL reserves not starting until next week.

And welcome back Clayton we missed ya mate, I knew you wouldn't leave us.

i dont know if im the only one who thinks this but dont you think thats a bit rude to be possibly giving someone who has trained at the club once or twice a game first up, over someone who may have trained hard all pre-season??

rupert has done the pre season with collingwood vfl this year, lives in melbourne and the coaching staff/players/club knew this from the outset.

looked fit to me. We only had a short session last night to freshen up for the weekend after a pretty full on pre season (game plan zones set ups etc) and Rupert was looking for more after moving nicely through the night. Had a kick for half an hour after training with a couple of the thirds boys.

Chris Kia Kennedy has signed with Yarrawonga, what a kick in the guts to Mulwala. Ha Ha Ha Ha. reported in todays Shepp News

Chris Kia Kennedy has signed with Yarrawonga, what a kick in the guts to Mulwala. Ha Ha Ha Ha. reported in todays Shepp News
that is a massive get for yarrawonga. along with john lucas, ben james, youngsters thomas wilson & dylan flanagan, daniel leary, joel thomas, cameron sanders and glynn ford. will mulwala have anything left at all?

guess those new $2million facilities are gonna be gathering cobwebs this season.

mul have 7 players coming into the club, only 2 of which are senior players. the rest are juniors.

[tuckylives]

also, things aren't looking too crash hot for congupna. out of 17 players being cleared into the club, 14 are kids who will play juniors. the other 4 are stan koullas from shep united, heath platfuss of picola united and nathan lewis of ardmona. 21 players look to be exiting the club.

anyone from the road willing to comment?

Was around in the pre season. Not sure what's happened to him lately.
I think that old hammy might have given out again.

ha ha from memory he always had drama's there, always used to come say gday and have a beer after the games seemed a really nice guy:thumbsu:

[Sippawitz]

Interesting to see DT back at Rumba. How's his weight/fitness/attitude Morgs?

Corey "Chicken Bones" Wanganeen big plus for you blokes I reckon - really started to hit his straps last year with United, several bags of 6 goals. Will he see much action with the Bombers seniors?

[Michael Tuck]

Speaking of Wanganeen. Does Corey have a brother?

I think Joshua? How does he go?

DT has been told he needs to play a couple of games in the two's before senior selection and has stayed on board. I don't know how many seconds games he's played but it wouldn't be many. Looks OK fitness wise hasn't missed training for a month now and when he hits seniors will give it a good go.

Yer Corey has been a great pick up for us and along with Rex will play about 6 or 7 games this year which will quilify them to play finals with us. It's up to Corey weather he plays senior footy at BB, is ahead of a few blokes there, I think he could play games later in the year.

I'm new to the thred,

i'm trying to chase up a name of a player from Finley. He is about 21 22, tall ruckman type. He now goes to uni in geelong.

Does this ring a bell and if so how does he go? I would give a name but it has slipped my memory.

Any help would be great.

Your not thinking of Tom Hawkins are to8199883 ? if so pal you might want to try the AFL tread . What sort of a name is t08199883 anyway ? It's like you headbutted the keyboard and thought that will do ;)

speaking of drama's , how about seymor's drama's "keeping your "grubby mits of there stock .how about you steal some nathalia players that would help , until someone who has the backing a club with poker machines and then they win a few flags and then another club will pop up and ruin a few lives and win a flag and make a couple of old blokes happy . I don't know where country footy is heading , do you doona ?

Geez smelv who spoke of drama's :confused: last time I checked Ive had only Seymour bloke train with us this summer (Chippa Douglas a couple of times) and he's heading back to Cairns in 2 weeks - Kyle Gemmill did a pre-season and praccy games and trained a bit with us last year, but there's too much travelling from Nathalia to Broadford to even try sorry :( Maybe buzz someone from cashed up joints like Elmore or Heathcote, they're the one's who might be able to assist in your request :D

Just a wind up mate , was wondering if you ever broke from your diplomatic stance . it seems your an oak . yeah elmore would be bang up for it , i reckon . or even my former club in the murray league . but on a serious note doona , everyone I've spoken to is struggling to fill sides , drought related maybe , or is country footy in big trouble?

Who have you been talking to Agg ? and what are you doing posting after midnight you clown . surely your hands are full wiping down tables and washing glass's . Are you still having a kick mate ? or is it just nude wrestles on the beach for you up in tropical far north queensland .

[RoadRunner11]

There is a bloke that played half a season with finley a couple of years ago who went to a geelong league last year, Brendan Paull was his name. He fits that age group. Is a big solid bloke, but doesn't play like he should. There is also a couple of young kids that are going to uni in geelong who are 19-20. Both are tall ruck types. Dane Maxwell and Will Robertson. Both go well, and both will play for finley in uni holidays. Hope this helps.

This is the first bit of talk about Finley in a while how are they shaping up for the season? also see rumba has Allan Murray waiting to be cleared to them, this would a massive bonus for them.

For what it's worth I reckon a lot of the geographical side of country footy needs an overhaul in the not too distant future. Growing costs of living placing greater importance on work (unless u pull a good quid from footy), fuel etc will only make it tougher in the future IMO.

I live in Kilmore and are obviously currently coaching Broadford - for example our club has I think 16-17 clubs within an hours drive yet we play just one (Heathcote).

[Sippawitz]

No real surprise to see the Rumba-Congupna scoreline given the ins and outs of both clubs over the summer.

Biggest isue for me to come out of the day was that Joey Day didn't play in the magoo's....

Morgs/Boora - please don't tell me Joey's finally hung up the boots???

nah joey hasn't hung up the boots yet. he is trekking around south america on a crusade with his church group and back at the end of april from memory, but with the way damo played on the weekend, joey may struggle to get a game :D.....

i think the biggest killer of country football is money, so many clubs have folded due to the increase in costs both on and off the field

[roader_4]

Congupna had 5 or 6 blokes from last years 3rds playing as well as a current 3rds player and they will take time to get used to seniors

It's been Joe's last year for the last 4 seasons, so I can't see why this year would be any different.

Will be back from South America in a few weeks and once again will make the tri-weekly trek from Echuca to play. Along with the other Echuca boys.

We will have 2 or 3 out from moama game, 2 blokes have weddings and 1 under an injury cloud. Get Adam Nunn back.
Yeah would expect both sides to be pretty evenly matched.

I couldn't tell you much about him mate only that we both played at united last year and i think he is married or getting married to Blighty's sister . his favorite color is blue and when he gets bigger he want to be a fire truck ;) but seriously he's a good egg , would have liked him to grace the high street oval wing this year again , but sadly not the case

[boora]

hey boora! how did your coaching debut go?
well 10 minutes from game time, running around like a headless chook cursing and swearing :D and being told i had to play. when i had accepted i had to play, i was told i wasn't needed :confused:, which has left me totally lost.

i am happy now, got the 1st game out of the way, we get afew back this week and things are looking good for both seniors and ressies this year.

i will probably have to pull the boots on this week, as we lose morgs :D and i see the surgeon on monday, so i can go and hurt myself i surpose.

we are going to be pretty good i reckon Hap has done another good job over the summer, the last season seniors have been training they had just been doing their own thing up until feburary, most are fighting fit and should be ready for Sunday. will be a good clash on Sunday advise alot of people to get there to see a good match

[big hawk]

Just want to get an idea how everyone's reserves are shaping up number wise? Is every club going to battle or what to get a team together each Saturday?:confused::confused::confused:

[CATSfinallydidit]

if i play, i might position myself in the backline either chb or fb. the days in the forward line are gone i think, what about you where will you play?


not playing this year. will only pull the boots on if we are really struggling. if i do ill sit loose in the backline so i dont have to chase anyone.

we should be right have lost a couple of 1 or 2 to uni but have kept everyone else. we should be around the same if not a bit stronger.

i see in the shepp news that out of the eight sides to have named a side Tongala, Toc, Moama, Rumba and echuca are able to field a side easily but cobram and your team big hawk have named about 12 -15 players and deni has named about 5. one would assume Mul may struggle but i think us and numurkah will be ok with numbers

Don't read too much into Toc's reserves squad... I think you'll find that a lot of the names have been repeated from the first grade squad. Bit concerned regarding numbers and amount of work the majority have done. Could be in for a long year!!!

Not sure about naming 5, our team is on mfl website along with the others, we got bout 8 players out, but we will have a bit of a crack and see how we go.
looking forward to it, goodluck everyone :thumbsu:.

We (Echuca United) have 10 missing out on a game this week, not sure that translates into senior wins but there is a positive feeling at the club with over 40 training this week. I think our 2's will be big improvers this year.

We are similar, 10 missed out against Moama, but through injuries and unavailability(weddings) only one had to miss out this weekend, great to be able to cover that many not available though.

I see M. Clarke and D. Sexton named in the reserves for Finley.

Anyone got info as to why they are in the reserves?

[ringo1]

Is Tongala going to be stronger this year? Is Steve Townsend a chance for the league medal? I have never seen him play but rumours are circulating that he is due for a big one.

Townsend is a free-wheeling,aggressive,attacking and dour defender if in the mood! Could win every award going:thumbsu:

[Tatsean]

Good, I heard he had a bit of lean year last year after a nasty leg break so look out for a big improvement....Can you bet on Murray League Games and Medals? If so My money will be on Barooga Premiers, Townsend the O'Dwyer Medallist.

taking the soft option i was told, road runner mite no more:)

I think I am on the money. Big win to Barooga and I heard in Tongala's good win that Townsend got 20 possessions (12 to direct advantage), 0 Clangers, 5 Contested Marks, 1 clearance, 2 tackles. Champion Data would have him at 112 pts. Wish I had him in my SuperCoach team instead of Tom Harley!! Ha Ha.

[pace to freeze]

Homer1, did sheep have a run for you blokes and if so, what possy did he play and how'd he go ?

[big hawk]

Easy there chicken! Don't know about being soft. Not sure on Clarkey's situation but surely Secco has done enough to warrant a bit of a spell. I think it's terrific that he is still making himself available, remembering he is knocking on the door of the big 40!!! I'm wondering how old you might be and see if you were or are intending to still be running around at this age! To demonstrate the miles that Secco has covered, one pre-season he was attempting to run 10 km each day for 40 days straight!!! And I suppose you haven't heard about him running back home, some 15-20kms away, after a pre-season game in which he felt he hadn't played as well as he could of. So I think your analysis of him taking the soft option is a bit harsh! GO THE OVER 30'S!!!!!!!:thumbsu::thumbsu::)

yeh sheepy had a good run on the ball, changing from the bench and did some very nice things.
we still a bit undermanned but will come good as the year goes on, great win by cobram, downie unstopable with 11 goals for B.O.G.

Thanks for the back up big hawk! There comes a time in ones career when the mind is willing, but the body isn't able. We will struggle for numbers this year and both will fill in when needed. Secco is coaching the interleague side, so that will take up some time as well.

BB, can you tell me who played on nathalia's big brendan 'peng' parker on the weekend for numurkah? only kicked 1 goal which is unusual.
obviously was a fairly competitive game. margin much lower than it could have been in previous years. do numurkah look to be improvers?

i think it was hopkins from mooroopna, while Peng was only held to 1 goal he still made a contest everytime and brought the ball to the ground for the small forwards think he assisted in a few of the other goals as well. Skills from both sides were pretty average as i think both coaches pointed out. Numurkah should improve but not sure by how much i think they will be better than last year.

Only Brendan could tell you that, i reckon he could keep going for ages, he's just a champion player, it will be a sad day for the club when he does give it away.
