sounds like you need to lift your game if you can't handle playing against those kind of players. wren is big old and slow, cordy small and soft. Not sure about the others but maybe you should drop yourself to the 2's to get some confidents back in yourself.
Sounds like you need to read the post better. He was talking about Tom Wren, not Rob, and you could hardly call Tom old.

Spot on Next Level, Rob's experience makes him a better option but he is now well and truely past his prime. Tom is too inconsistent and would not be the sort of player who would step up and win you a game by blitzing. Riordan is a good player but I would classify him as a small to medium forward and not necessarily a key forward.He is dangerous when he is on his game. I rate him and hope he plays at United this year instead of Swans
Rob Wren when he was playing at United he was great he unfortually done a serious injury and only played something like 10 games. But in his time he was a great CHF and really made his pressence on the field, only got good things to say about him as a player and should be respected for what he has done in footy:thumbsu:

The question I was refering to was who are the best half forwards in the PDFL. And in my experience playing at Centre Half Back I found those guys as my hardest opponents. I find these guys also had some great support around them. Last year Tungamah's forward line had many guys to try to cover that Tom was normally the one that broke free and exposed most sides.
As to dropping to the twos.... I would like to see you play on Rob Wren. He might be getting a little older but I sure he would give you a BATH!
Thanks for the support guys!

What Riordan... United & Swans.... Na guys Katandra!!
Matt Riordan is a Key Forward and 6'3". Brent Riordan who won a B&F where David Mench now plays in Geelong in 2006 might be classified as a small forward.

Totally agree. After seeing this bloke play a bit I still cannot fathom how he didn't crack it for a game at Richmond in his 3 years there. A seriously good player who makes up for his lack of pace with the ability to keep going and going and one of the best pack marks you would hope to see.

well i have played on him when he played at euroa in the gvfl and kept him goaless yep 0. that was 2 weeks b4 they played finals so he should of been in form. just another day at the office i'd say. good luck playing at 12 champ

Yeh well I played on a bloke called Russell Jeffries,CHF coached Jerilderie in the late 80's, played a few at Geelong and St Kilda, kept him goalless also.
Only trouble was he had 38 kicks 22 handballs 24 marks, and I still reckon their statistician missed a few.

How good will the Picola League be in 2007? Such a high profile super star of the calibre of Brendan Mellington will really get the money through the gate. I can't wait till he plays at our ground cos it is sure to be a great boost to our revenue having him grace our field.
I would like to know if anyone knows a bookie who take Pearce Medal bets as I have $4000 to put on Brendan Mellington to win by a street.
Once again we are so lucky. Look out Rob Wren, cos remember that Brendan fixed you up when you were in the absolute prime of your career.
Is it a co-incidence that Brendan has left Mooroopna just as they are looking like becoming a decent team. I cannot understand why such a quality super star would do that. I mean surely he could get a game in any GVFL side.
As for bagging Tatura, how is Mooroopna's history, oh thats right first ever finals appearance since 1986, and only needed to import 4 guys with AFL experience $$$$ AFL?? On your side TatyBulldog!

I recon thats a super write up, and if u cant understand why he left mooroopna its cause he wasnt even getting looked at to play seniors. It doesnt help when ure struggling to get a touch in the reserve so he cracked the sads. This bloke thinks he is better then he really is. Just say he did beat wrenny that day which i firmly disagree he would have...there isnt any point living in the past because your only as good as your last game brendan!

agree it's to hard to tell just on interleague games cos of the above mentioned reasons. The top teams from both leagues last year would be pretty even. I think at the moment there might be slightly more depth in the PDFL but it changes every year.

Top KDFL & Top PDFL sides would have great games. As to arguing which is the better league, they are both very similar. But I think PDFL is faster but possibly a little softer. In terms of aggression towards other players. PDFL players tend to go the ball more... from what I have heard. Lots of 16 year old can play PDFL without worrying about being king hit by some 40 year old Ardmona player!!!

I no from speaking to certain players that were playing in the central Goulburn league that it was a much more physical league than the Picola league, infact they reckon the Picola league is real soft. That will explain why the Tungamah league teams dominate the league

Would agree there mercs, CGFL was a very good standard of footy basically because you had to be tough (not dirty) and also be able to run to be in the mix come September. Thats the difference I found in the KDFL also, a lot more running/playing on and not as many stoppages.

on the sunday morning we were up at 6 for a 25 km ride then another 4 km run then some skills work. then back for breakfast and finish of camp!

Ex TFL teams dominate this league as they are closer to larger towns. Tungamah & Katamatite used to struggle when the TFL was a 'southern' league. Tungamah was the most northern club in its own league before it left in 1995. Now that they are in a league that is more 'Yarrawonga friendly' they attract better players.
Shepp East & Katandra pull lots of players from Shepparton, as do Dookie now I would guess. Clubs like Picola, Katunga, Strathy, Wunghnu and Yarroweyah cut each others throats when getting players from Numurkah.
It is all about position to a certain extent, plus the mind set of the club. Katandra, Shepp East have always been clubs that are successful and do not tolerate mediocrity. Katandra had to do lots of work changing peoples minds about footy when we entered the PDFL as lots of people wanted it back to the good old Tungamah league and stopped supporting the club in some way. Now that we have reassessed where we are, we are now back trying to set the standard, as we did along with Congupna & Shepp East in the TFL.
Feel like i am writing a novel!

Lots of one sided games in the PDFL so brawls wouldn't start due to less pressure. Toughness at the footy is where it counts anyhow.
Saw a final between Shepp East & Yea in 2001 I think at Thornton, was a bit of a blood bath. They really hated each other. Greg Clohesy became my idol for a while after that game, then he went to the Swans and lost his cult figure status!

Greg Clohesy will be back at Shepp East this year, he has been training with the club since the start of pre-season

Thats a great pickup for Shepp East a very tough footballer and you will no when he tackles you. Looks like Shepp East are going to be having another year with Bovalino, Clohesy and the Yze's. They are replacing those eights players from the Grand Final side very quickley:thumbsu:

It was the captains rotation that threw him out!

At the minute Shepp East ground is in full bloom green grass all over, looking good.

Sounds a bit better than when they hosted the semi final last year. The league nearly pulled that final from them I hear. Guys going out but in the end too many people to notify if it had to be changed.
On the subject, I do not beleive that any PDFL senior team should get a home final. Katandra had one in 2005 and Shepp East had one in 2006. If the senior side is in it then it should not be at their home. And what about the crap last year Tungamah V Katandra at Blighty. Does that make sense to anyone? What about Tungamah V Katandra at Katamatite??? More sense. Should look at the two senior teams and final a ground smack in the middle I say. Put every clubs ground on standby and go from there.
But the teams on the extremities (like Berrigan and Tungamah) might struggle to host one if it were like that. Maybe just a bit of common sense in the ground selections!

Magic Frog... what happened to Stuart Way? Why wont he play for Berrigan, I see he is moving again.

6 Feb 2007, 12:22
At the moment Katunga does not have the Granny, any sugestions on who should host it?
Who has the right stuff (rooms that dont share a shower or that are not a tin shed, Netball courts, Parking etc) to host them?
Do you think that the PDFL will stick to there guns and not give it back to them with this upcomming appeal?

had a falling out with alot of people in town, had the bakery in town and it all went to S@#t, upset a few people. Alot of people love him for his skill but not for other things. a bit of a waste really. Hopefully he goes a little better out at Jerilderie, heard a wisper that he signed for 3 years out there but that's a huge call, have heard some people trying to guess how long he will last. good luck to him.

Magic, surely if he has upset a few people in town the mob down the road would have heard about it and stay clear???? I know he can play when he wants to but a 3 year signing is a big call for a bloke that I hear struggles to train 1 night a week.

I believe that the grounds for the finals should be set in concrete as soon as possible. Also the major finals should be played on the grounds with the best facilities no matter what... Whether the team hosting is playing or not
The minor finals should be shared around between the other clubs each year so that everyone can get a grab of some finals action.
Its just the luck of the draw, if teams have to travel so be it. As the better team will always win.

jason is the gun. matt was just a reserves player for the swans in the GV. Think he played at congupna also.

I think common sense should come into it, wait and see who is playing then decide where they play - simple as that!

Agree with you there, the games should be played on the best grounds with the best facilities as that is what the finals is all about. What they could maybe do is get different sides to host the games but keep the games at the best grounds. Interesting to hear today that Travis Brand from Wunghnu was offered $400 a game to play for Berrigan and would not have to train. Must be spending some money out at Berrigan way this year.:confused:

Mercs can you ask Brand who he has been dealing with as I'm yet to here this name mentioned. $400 is a lot of money, and not the kind of funds we give out, especially to players that we have not even heard of! Training is a must for any Berrigan recruit, so I would ask him if he was trying to increase his profile.

Well i would answer all Q. honestly. im not sure that all the Q. Shepp East asked you, you answered them honestly because if you did i dont think they would have wasted there time and money on you. but it will all come out during the coming season. hope for shepp east sake they put in your contract a half yearly review!

Well thats how it should be, no train no game or no cash. Yes you re correct $400 is alot of money per game whether they were mucking around with numbers, I dont no but for the record Travis Brand said no to the offer anyway and is staying at Wunghnu.

yeh I think it was a bit bulls#it talk but his comment was I am lucky to go to Berrigan once year rather than every second weekend.
