I can tell you all right now, the fight that occured on the hill just before half time of the senior match did not involve any player from the Echuca United Football Club. The instigator, a tall guy with jeans, an Echuca United polo shirt and a dragon tatoo on his neck was at the centre of it all. He threatened one of the United 3rds players and bought his shirt off of him for $30, put it on then started a fight with a group of Finley boys, and was chanting 'Carn United! F**k all you other d*ckheads!'. There was also another young kid from Moama, who was arrested and taken away by the police after punching on with the Finley player who got BOG in the Grand Final.
Dont go slagging off the 'United faithful' when you don't know the full story. Just because there were a few of the thirds boys up on the hill caught up in the middle of it all, doesn't mean they started it.
Congratulations to Nathalia, Barooga, Finley and Deniliquin on their 2006 Premiership wins. It was a perfect day for football and a high quality display was played for all to see.
willo.
hahaha, thats nearly believeable you sure your not a script writer for a comedy show...hahaha everyone in the area know what united's reputation is like and that they eat there own...**** that's funny but definately not believeable...i am sure if it was a ardmona or even rumbalara there would of been a big write up about it in the local papers and the officials would want to have them kicked out of the comp...biggest bunch of thugs echuca united supporters are and i am sure that there are alot of clubs who play against them would agree.

Sounds like you know a bit mate. All i did was tell the full story. Wasn't exagerating or changing it. And you still seem to be blaming United people for being involved in, or instigating the fight. They had no involvment in it so stop trying stir up trouble. You wern't at the game so until you get your facts straight, keep your comments to yourself.
Who's going to be the team to beat in 07. watch for the dark horse, the tonny blues, word has it there ready to blossom after a few years down, which other teams are goign to be winning a few?

0 - 4 with your tips?????. Both your junior sides would be spewing as they were favorites going into the games. I watched a bit of the 3rds and you held your own @ CHB.
Mulwala (in the frosties) were in good form leading up to the GF but fell like their 1s the week before. Well done to a prety good Barooga side.
Your senior side was lucky to get as close as they did to the Purples. Am a big wrap now though for Guy Campbell as the last 2 games I have seen him play have been briliant. Likewise for Baker (No 23).
As for your supporters, maybee the most loyal in the league and you have good numbers of them which is always intimidating but by far the most disliked in the league, especialy those that get up on the hill at Echuca for home games.
If Tonny are to be competitive in the Murray league in 07 they would need at least 12 ready made, top line senior player as per the finalists of 2006. Will be lucky to finish in the top half of the bottom 6 but I'm happy to eat my words if it does happen.
Has anybody heard any whispers of any new coaches for 07 appart from Downie to Toc. Barooga may have a coup in waiting so the whisper goes but no names yet??

Barooga has got Steve Daniel, Toc have also signed Lee Warnett and Jarrod Pollard from Tat. Think you would find 12 players a bit rich for Tonny, 4 or 5 topline players would see them get over Congupna no probs, 12 and you would be looking at flags, just a silly off the cuff statement. Would be looking for those 4 or 5 and hopefully vie for a finals berth.

I saw 1 game of Tonny this year and they got absolutley belted. I think they only kicked 1 or 2 goals. The only players of note were the Reids and they both ended up on the bench having a rest.
If you are the coach of Tonny (May have picked that up from reading these forums for a while - not sure) I admire the effort put in this yaer. Even if you are not, he did a great job after what he went through.

Thanks mate, I assume the only game you saw was Toc at Toc and Yes that was as unacceptable an effort 21 players could put in, (Andrew Reid didnt play that day from memory, the only other game we kicked 1 or 2 goals was Mulwala and they were just too damn good). The players are capable of a lot better than they showed that day, but yes if that is all you are going by then I would say we probably needed 16 or 17 players from that showing. Anyway with 10+ players 18 or under playing each and every week those days are going to happen especially towards the end of a long and arduous year. If we can get 2 key position players to push or 17 year old ruckman and CHB out onto flanks to learn the trade from, a CHF to release Andrew Reid, and onballer to allow Mark Reid to sit on a flank then I think we will be in the mix.
Cheers.

What are you talking about mate? 12 players is a huge statement. were in the murray league not the AFL buddy. u give the 14 teenages a year in the gym they wiill be stronger and better players. make no mastake they need a few ready made senior players but not 12 mate, if they got 12 they would win the flag. no doubt on that. it was a uncalled for statement
cheers

See in todays Shepp News Toc were meeting some other players from the GV at the MFL GF, and it wasnt Warnett or Pollard as they were on their footy trip, obviously really openning up the chequebook for a big tilt at it.

Hank, i hear you guys at Tonny have signed Scott Waasdorp for next year, any truth in that? Would be a handy forward pocket or Half forward flanker if he can stay fit. Have you guys got mick roberts from tat on board yet?

Souts.
I can only go on what I saw and Hank1 was spot on when he said -
"the only other game we kicked 1 or 2 goals was Mulwala and they were just too damn good). The players are capable of a lot better than they showed that day, but yes if that is all you are going by then I would say we probably needed 16 or 17 players from that showing."
End of story.
If there are some good young kids 17-20 that will benifit from a year in the Murray league and can drift out to a flank, pocket or wing from the inclusion of a few key position player, I hope you pick up a few.
Cheers Gooroo
i saw in the shepp news that steve daniels is linked to the wang magpies coaching job. a big chance from what it said

2 of the best is better than 1 of the best :) ofcourse a 'back up plan' is nice to have too....

when my side tonny played barooga, brooks was best on ground and he played as a ruck rover all day and was super in feeding the ball out from packs.

I agree boys 4 to 5 players would be nice at Tonny next year 6 to 7 would be great to give a few of the older blokes a bit of a chop out and no injuries would be a nice change, but you cant have everything seems the gears are already rolling to get some blokes

Atkinson Hasn't signed at Barooga, they are talkin to him but hasn't signed. 2 clubs from the Sunraysia league are the main contenders for his services.

Yeah from what I could gather he wants to coach again first and foremost, as the last two years at St Arnaud were fairly lean and doesnt want to leave coaching on that note.
any early word on nathalia and how they will go next year. 2 flags is a great effort and i assume they will either lose quite a few or the group will stay together and have another crack. lucas wont play again we know but what about parker and others.
good to hear some positive things coming out of tonny. after being down for so long it would be great to see them up there in the finals. roberts will be a great pick up if he comes but i would think some more experienced blokes would be needed as well. a couple of top up players from around the district would help their depth also. any departures at tonny?

No, thats one good thing, especially when we lost 8 as soon as the season finished in 2005. So anything we pick up will be additions instead of just covering for any losses. Yes Experienced heads will be high on the shopping list.
So i gather that there are no retirements and that all the young players have employment or are going to uni close by. The youngsters should improve the side by 2-3 goals a week and some other good pick-ups will no doubt help you:thumbsu:

Yeah most of the good juniors have got apprenticeships in the area, which is a bonus, only a couple heading to uni who may be doubtful including young Ruckman Mitch Coombs who may be heading to Russia for 6 months on exchange. One doubtful starter will be Brett Henderson through retirement, but is keen to stay involved at the club in some capacity.
Good luck as I think that you guys will play finals in 2008. Next year a goal of 8-9 wins would be realistic and a great result. Anything above that wouldbe a bonus. I look forward to seeing you go up the ladder
Well done Nathalia on your back to back i;ve orded the dvd so i can see the game, can't get to the grandfinal with our local grand final on the same day
i got last years as well Nathalia reminds me of ex mallee Club Yaapeet who
were also Purple and gold like to see Nathalia make the finals again in 2007
go like horsham in wimmera football league who now won 4 in a row to win 2 or more premierships in a row :D :thumbsu:

Hank1 or anybody else prepared to reply in a considered manner,
how does the Rumbalara structure seem from the outside?
I notice they are seeking a CEO for the football/netball club. With ties to Colingwood and Melbourne Uni it would seem to bigger than your average country footy club manager's role.

Grimmet, I think everyclub would love to have a CEO. The role of a president these days is time consuming and unpaid. If you can get someone to implement policies,club direction,organise recruiting and coaching structures and attend meetings it takes some pressure of others.

I believe the influence of Hickmott along with Paul Brigg's constant hard work are paying dividends for Rumba. Was the mentioned position advertised locally or metro melbourne?

It is alot bigger than your general manager's role (i ain't to familiar with other clubs) they basically set the club up with the dream that they can create employment strategies/jobs, educate and promote better lifestyle opportunities for the local Koorie people in the GV area and for other communities in Victoria to look at what there doing as a platform for there own regions.
The programs that the club runs at present Melb Uni (ASHE Academy), Healthy Lifestyles (Vic Health), Collingwood FC, The Football/Netball club and can't remember the rest.
The CEO'S job is to not only look after the Football/Netball club but manage these as well as the various staff employed there and to do the submission writing reports etc.
They recently employed Ken Sheldon as a Development Officer, his job is to look at getting Sponsorship, players and other projects/programs etc that the club can run.
I hope that helps somewhat :D

yep true that, Paul Briggs is forever up and down the Hume Hoghway for the footy club of his own bat all of the time and sacrifices his own health/family to get the local koorie people in the region something (to bad that most don't appreciate it) as MOST KOORIE communities in Victoria would love to have both someone like Paul/Rumbalara Football Club in there areas.

Purely off field, RUmba will probably be the most professionally run club next year. When you are able to employ a Development officer and CEO to run a country football club that has to be a huge bonus off and on the field.
Believe in the past they had trouble with getting delegates to league meetings which impeded there steps towards getting into the GV, they are now on the right track. Have to really put enormous time into the juniors and get their behaviour off and on the field on track, then they really will be a force to be reckoned with for years to come in the Murray League and probably eventually GV.

Imagine how strong your club could be if it had gov't grants and the backing of some of the groups Rumba has. With the amount of $$ that is being tiped into the club, It should make for a super strong club. Will $$$ make for a happy and stable club.
Rumba are a mile off being admitted to the GV. It will not happen for a long time.

Government grants are available to ALL SPORTING CLUBS not just only RUMBALARA...Rumba are just lucky that they have someone with Paul Briggs background as there president who has a vision of what he wants the club to do.
the money that they get from private sector is aimed at the programs that the club runs not player payments, as the business putting in the $$$ share Pauls vision and passion.
The club seemed a happy place to me...Do you Gooroo know someone that i don't?
every club has unruly supporters just look at some recent grandfinals of late in the area....
The direction and vision of the club is a credit to all that are working there and is an inspiration to all Indigenous people around Australia as it gives them a model to aim for and remember that we have only had 40 odd years to get ourselves in order...
Matt Byers (Shepp Bears) has agreed to coach Barooga in 2007.

As I've stated earlier I'm in support of Rumbalara and what they are trying to do and believe they will be successful next year and in the future, but please boora surely you arent that niave as to say Government grants are available to all sporting clubs, most, if not all grants Rumba have received are because they are an indigenous club, now correct me if I'm wrong but that cancels out every other club in the district. Yes there are other grants for clubs but i know first hand they are bloody hard to get, and painstaking to fill out all required info etc. Of course none of this money Rumba gets goes towards players but all members of the club benefit from the better facilities and opportunities these grants bring.
Good luck to Rumba on this front, but dont say its a level playng field when it comes to other clubs receiving funding from the government.

I may have worded the bit about a happy / stable club a bit wrong. I did see a game or 2 @ Merc Dve this year and having a nuetral interest in the MFL did see a bit of Rumba.
The point was directed more at the junior footy side of things where there were a couple of reports of inadequate jnr behavior away from home. I think Rumba's No1 interest should be the kids. I commend them for having a club / programme in place for the juniors but should give them more ownership of the club.
I'm with Hank on the money available to the club though. 99% of all clubs are fighting forthe same $$$ when it comes to grants but being of a different background, it seems there may be plenty available for Rumba.
I don't think many / any other clubs could afford to get a Ken Sheldon in to look after things if it wasn't for extra $$$.
Well done on your 1st year in the Murray league.
PS - No6 Atkinson is a GUN player

Hank, what our mob led by uncle paul have been trying to do for many years is create an environment where young kooris in the region can go play footy but also link education and employment in a wholistic package. Now whether you choose to accept this or not i stated this a long time ago on this forum.
The Rumbalara Football Netball club is only the vehicle driving a gathering of community to ensure they get the best of what is available to them predominantly in the areas of health, education and employment. People just talk about grants, grants, grants without looking at what type the club are accessing as i have already noted if you can provide someone employment whether it be at Ashe or another Koori service black white or whatever they need to become a part of the community and playing with Rumba is just part of that.
A large part of this is people ie Phil Guthrie interact with community and teammates day in day out, strengthening relations. However i don't believe Phil's paycheck would come from a direct sporting grant, rather an educational one. Rumba can also access health grants which as i said before go hand in hand with creation of positions to assist in these areas. Now in my eyes it is no different to a School teacher or Doctor council employee who is wooed by a club and gains a transfer. View it as you wish. But don't have sour grapes about our community hub, coz i don't believe you really understand.
I mean lets attack Barooga for example who at the end of the day have blood on their hands brooks wheat have bankrolled them for many years and look at the iraq wheat scandal the club have benefited ultimately from corruption. Scary isn't it.
Ok.....now lets open the book further and look into native title now i propose that we take away all the government grants from rumba. But i would now request that every club in the Goulburn Murray region pay a weekly tariff to the Rumba Yorta Yorta association for us to tip into our health, education and employment services. Wont happen, but the key word is community and lets realise mate until you can justify and structure an argument outlining content don't argue.

Don't believe I have argued anything here mate, as I've said time and time again, I am in full support of what Rumba are doing for the community and believe they will be a strength for many years to come. I don't know the ins and outs of other clubs including yours and Barooga, so cant comment any more, only said that it was easier for Rumba to gain grants and as you say, as an organisation you gain grants whether they be sporting, educational or health fot the betterment of the club and community, that is great and have no qualms about it.
My point was I have found from experience that it is much harder for other clubs to gain access to those grants and therefore allow the club and community to grow and have the benefits that Rumba receive.
Guthrie and Hickmont have been awesome for your club(only looking from the outside in), they are both at the club through gaining employment opportunities that may not have been otherwise available. As you stated - "as i have already noted if you can provide someone employment whether it be at Ashe or another Koori service black white or whatever they need to become a part of the community and playing with Rumba is just part of that." So that is just one of the benefits Rumba receives football wise that probably many other clubs dont.
Anyway all the best for next year and the years to come, PM me if your keen to have a chat with me during next season (we play Rumba at Rumba Rd7) as I'd be more than keen to learn more about the situation and obstacles faced at your club, as I'm sure you have other obstacles to face that many clubs don't have to overcome, which probably evens it all out with 'in my opinion' your advantages on this topic.
Cheers

Big coup for Rumba to keep him, is steering the side in the right direction
Heard on the grapevine that Morrison medal winner, matt Byers, has put in for the Nathalia coaching job.. If so, and if he gets it, a midfield consisting of him and a couple of Gemmill's = danger for the opposition.. At this stage expect the purps to give it a big shake again in 07..

Why wouldn't there premiership coach in Smith go around again journey man or a bloke like Nath Gemmill step up after being an assitant coach.
Surley barooga would be a big chance next year if they keep what they had this year and add byers and atkinson.
Atkinson will not be with Barooga . I'm sure that he will be lining up in the Sunraysia league and returning home:thumbsu:

sorry souts at the moment most of the Nathalia boys are talking about a three peat as it would be nice to really smash the 28 year drought with three flags but there is going to be a fair bit of competion this year i reckon. talk of Mark Harrop coaching Numurkah but not to sure on that one. how are tongala looking? any chance of securing the services of Adam Courtney.

that sounds good for nathaila then, would be nice to see them do it if were got going to, im not to sure about who we have picked up as yet, i know they have spoken to him, i had a quick chat with him at cricket training and he said he might move to darwin. i think hey have picked up a quilty player from the GV. dont know much more. are the Gemmill boys playing again, i heard they are headed to elmore?
is Mark Harrop the shepp bears ruckman? if so he would be a very good player in the murray league

Whats the wash up this year in the Murray League?
Heard Echuca United wasted big $$$ on coming second! Where do they pull their money from?
Gemmills staying at Nathalia?
Did anyone take care of Mark Brown?
Rumba's results looked up and down, any reasons?
Tonny, not much of an impact, will they get better?

Have heard that Echuca United have lost at least 2 key players from there grand final side with a question mark over a couple of others although i hear they have added Luan Marsh back from the bendigo bombers.
You would think Barooga would be right up there again along with Nathalia. Will mulwala be looking for a new coach ? Kennedy may return to coach shepp united his old club.

Im guessing that Echuca would be able to pick up a lot of money from different businesses with in the town. tonny had dissappointing first up season in the MFL but they WILL improve on it they hope to pick up a few players and as there 15 teenages get more games under their wing they will improve. what about oyour mob any improvement on this season

Nathalia B&F results.
1. Drew Barnes
2. Nath Gemmill
3. Ash Gemmill
4. Brendon Parker
5. Ryan Butler (I think)
Good effort by Barnes. Never seen him play but wraps on him are huge. Nathan Gemmill has played 9 senior seasons at Nathalia. He's won 4 B&F's and 5 runners-up. Very consistent.
Ash has a also won four with a couple of runners up and a couple of thirds.

Mark Heritage anounced that he will remain at the healm of the Echuca United seniors in 2007. A majority of the 2006 list will be retained with a cloud hanging over 1 or 2 players. United will still be a force in 2007.
willo.

I would think that Barooga, Nathalia and United will be there abouts.EXpect Deni to improve. Baker is not the Euroa and Tongala Baker. He is from Kyneton and played with Echuca before joining United

I hear that Untied are going to Lose Baker, Reyne and you would think McCarty. That would put a major dint in their finals chacnes for next year. After watching the grand final they would need to keep what they had + add a good full forward and some pace to the team to be a contender for 2007.
Any big signings at Tonny Hank?? I hear trist and hansford are coming across from stanhope. Any truth?

Obviously speaking to a few but no definates as yet, other than the two Ollies, Coxy, and Tim and Nick Harris to return, and also brother is going to play which will be good. Spoken to both Dave and Matt as they are weighing up whether to have a crack at major league so if they do, hopefully they will choose us. Already a dozen younger blokes in the gym 3 nights a week to get there bodies right to step up to Senior footy and be solid contributors week in week out, the rest of us will start November 24.

No sackings, but a bit of unrest at board level from the AGM, had two nominations for President and was a relatively close vote which seen the 2006 pres defeated, he wasnt happy and looks like we'll have another meeting and get things sorted out for good.

I heard the incumbent president pulled the pin a few days in and now another meeting is planned to sort it all out.
Lets hope its done quickly as we all know how hard Hank is working behind the scenes and he deserves a united front if Tonny are gunna head up the MFL table in 2007.

Sounds like all is sorted, neutral person will be President with both blokes who ran for presidency to be on the committee in other roles, good that all could put their differences aside and work toward the one common goal that anyone involved in a football club should be striving for and that is putting the club first and leave any individually driven motives at the door.
Alls well that ends well, now I can get back to the recruiting, cheers

According to the Central Murray thread it is Jason Kerr from Woorineen FC. Yet to be officially confirmed.
Not sure of his background and whether it qualifies as a big name signing, but will try and find out more.

If it is Jason Kerr, he was a top footballer in the O&M for North Albury. May have even played Inter-league footy. He will have an up hill battle as I'm led to believe Merritt, Gordon, Wells + a couple of the younger kids wont be there next year.

LATEST: GV star to coach Numurkah
By Steve King
October 31 2006
Shepparton News
Tatura star Linc Wellington will coach Murray Football League club Numurkah next season after the Blues pulled off a major recruiting coup this week.
Wellington, 27, signed with the club on Monday night after a decorated career with the Bulldogs.
"I've been thinking about coaching a fair bit,'' Wellington, who played 96 games with Tatura after making his debut in 2002, including the 2003 Goulburn Valley league premiership, said.
"It was a good offer and I'm pretty excited.''

There's plenty of talk about the gun medfielders and forwards but who so you think are the top 5 ruckman and tall defenders in the Murray League?

One of the best ruckmen would have be a bloke called Damien Daziel from Echuca United.

Brooks Barooga has to be there, obviously Lucas Nathalia when he played was unmatched, Dalziel United, Phipps Moama still does a great job. Nick Braybon Finley
Key Defenders- Rob Ruseggen CHB Deni, Nathan Parker CHB Mulwala, Guy Campbell FB/CHB United, Andrew Reid CHB Tonny, Grant Wolfel Congupna.
Obviously Campbell and Reid play forward as much as back but I think there best footy is at CHB.
Theres some to talk over.
Cheers
P.S. yes Barooga are in the Murray League

I hear that Barooga are chasing Greg Stafford from Richmond but they think he wants to much coin and Dale Carmoody from Wang Magpies in the O & M who they think they have a great chance in getting as he is good mates with there coach Byers.
Hank do you think that the District type players you guys are talking to are going to be able to cut it in the Murray League? I think a few would struggle. Murray league is going to be a step up from playing at District Level after watching the KDFL finals and watching the Murray league grand final.
I also heard that Nath Gemmill is not playing at the purps next eyar along with lucas, parker and maybe ash gemmill who might go to the SANFL. Any truth in that guys??

Which district players that we are talking to do you think will struggle? Two Ohlsens and Coxy from your neck of the woods have all played GV seniors, but in saying that if they do decide to come across they will have to earn there stripes definately, and they know that.

Maybe they should chase Fanning instead, he'd be cheap I reckon!!!
What's the go with the Gemmill's not playing at Nathalia, surely only rumour mongering there roaring?

There's talk of the Gemmill's going each year. I'd highly doubt Ash would go to the SANFL. I've heard he's thinking about moving to Queensland but that would be a lifestyle decision rather than a footy decision.
I think Nath is due to play his 200th this year.
Lucas is obviously gone, don't think Parker has decided what he's doing. He's travelled from Melbourne for three years now so you understand if it was getting to him.

Nothing at yet, looking at getting afew playes from Darwin during their off season to come down and have a run. they will be keeping there list together, with afew young guys a year older and some of the older guys who didn't play last year returning. only loss at this stage looks like being jarrod atkinson to bendigo bombers and they will be talking to some players in the coming weeks.

Not far off the mark with Greg Stafford from what I hear roaring tiger, but I spoke to big Dale 'boof' Carmody and he is definitely staying on as assistant coach at Wang..
From what I hear, Snelson prob won't be at the purps next year, and there is a bevy of clubs fighting for the signature of b & f winner, barnes..

why wouldn't clubs be chasing barnes, the kid is a freak. had operations on his legs a couple of years ago and it has made him stronger as a player. can play any position. would easily hold his own in a higher league.
Talked to snelson not long after the end of the season and he was keen as mustard then to continue at the purples with craig white. But a person can change their mind at anytime.

No doubt but I know that people at Nathalia would be very surprised if he left. He only came half-way through year and won a flag. By all accounts he's meant to be staying.
Trevor Perry is not usually wrong though
