Of those clubs who are given the choice as to where they would like to go in 2008. Is there any that are tempted to go north? Waaia, Picola, Katunga, Strathy, Yarroweyah, Katamatite.

I can see the southern comp being very strong.

It does seem like every minor league is in up in the air at the moment. Benalla District is on the brink, Coreen is joining PDFL, KDFL is full and probably the first choice of many BDFL clubs. Lots will be happening on the league front I guess.

I think you'll find Cordy has trouble getting to training because of work commitments. Also I believe he wont be staying the whole season as he will be moving to SA later in the year with his job.
If he was to play Murray football league he would fit in quite well considering some of the people playing in that league are a joke !!

Who do you reckon are the people that play in the murray league are a joke? the league is gettin pretty competive lately and its not that bad of standard either.

I think BDFL teams, the bat's and devinish and tatong will all have to merge so they can be competitive in our league, plus thay dont have 4ths
Couple of big statements there Big Wheel, any other leagues u want to rubbish while you're at it. Surely u can find a few jokers running around in the GV or O&M.

Hey big wheel, think you might be best to sit back on the couch and dream about how good you are or how good you were, your comments above are a big thumbs down. Ever played murray league. If not do not comment, if so you must be frustrated, because I do not know any decent footballer who would call a fellow opponent a joke, it's called respect !!!;) ;) ;)

Why go to the half way house of the Murray League. Either play major league (GVFL) of play minor league (PDFL) dont get stuck in the middle and kid yourself that you are playing with the big boys!

Hey guys have a look in the dictionary under L and you will find a word called LOYALTY. As your really good clubs about it... thats how they stay up for so long... not through a fat cheque book that comes out every 5 years!

As for Cordy being soft... well he may not swing many punches but he will sit on your head and steal the footy out of your hands!!

Was a bit off the hip when I quoted this, but was trying to defend the calibre of our great league. Extremely sick of people thinking that we play Auskick footy! Sure the Murray League is a better standard than ours, but I still see the MFL as a league where local boys play for their local teams. For Cordy to go to Congupna wouldn't be the move up in standard that everyone seems to think he should take. Why aren't people getting up Brunt and Waasdorp for staying in the PDFL. I know that if I were to win a couple of Pearce medals I might try out at a higher level.... like Tyson Sidebottom and Daryl Harrison (KDL).

Regional Leagues Fantasy Footy League?

Seeking interest in players for a Regional Leagues fantasy footy comp.

This is a) not real footy and b) not pick-a-team-of-AFL-players footy. Its even lazier!

All you do is express interest, I'll do the rest via QOOTY, a crappy random aussie rules simulator I created years ago and have been trying to bring up to speed. FAQs here : http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showthread.php?t=75728

I'll try to collate a league of teams that are representative of the more popular local leagues here, so I need raised hands from the posters. I won't make up any names, I won't allow any sudden new arrivals.

So either post here or PM me if you want your Bigfooty alter-ego registered for a team.

Hopefully we can turn some rivalries into some even more potent partnerships!

I'll probably aim for starting the season, say, end of next week. I MAY have to be an inflexible prick with okaying a team and treating latecomers.

For this season, hopefully the inaugural season of an ongoing league, all we need are 20 players per team. There is already a Fantasy league, more closely based on the AFL clubs, at Bigfooty, here : http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=30 - its into its 7th season and has developed a bit of history! There is also another league at another footy forum site, this year with only 3 teams but had been as strong as 5 clubs in its 3 year tenure.

So get in touch if you're interested. Remember you don't have to do anything apart from dob your Bigfooty nickname in for a spot. Please tell me which club/league of regional footy you would prefer to be aligned with (please state both).

We'll see how we go. If it doesn't happen, ah well, if it happens later than I hope ... I'll still give it a burl.

Onward lads! ...

Little info for you Karjam, Adam Brunt is born and bred Tongala, not Picola. Did win a Morrison, but I am sure he could be doing a great job if he were putting back into his local (Tongala) club.

I am always one to think that you should be playing at the highest level possible... many guys do not share this same opinion. I hear all to often about guys who just want to play twos. What a cop out! Play where you are selected... where the selectors think you will be required.

Could not agree more and juniors should be released to play at the highest possible standard, with an agreement in place that they remain there founding clubs player. Not the current situation where they leave disgruntled , sometimes under appeal, and after playing 2-3 years as fringe players they hit their home club up for $$$ to return.
Have a real feeling A.Brunt is using his current situation as a learning curve before returning to Tongala.

Wunghnu.... Timmis definately has them on the right track, made some very poor recruiting decisions over the years. From memory Timmis is the only coach who has been honest in the papers about the clubs chances. He is looking for a competitive outfit that might win 5 games. Everyone else (Macca and Meka) says they will play finals. If Timmis & Wunghnu keep going like they are they may be realistic for a finals spot come 2010 or so. :thumbsu:

I am of the opinion that they must have played a certain amount of games during the year to be a qualified player. I think some sort of system would have some merit, surely spectators enjoy seeing home grown talent.

Don't worry about Dookie, as I said previously we were very lucky to get them first up, if they had on kicked straight early there would have been a lot more scoreboard pressure on and the result may have been different. LeBrocq got lots of the footy but seemed to get tied up alot. Once they all know each other they will do quite well. Also looked very smart in their shirt, slacks and shoes, pity it was about 35 degrees!

No long ago I was asked by one of there committee members to give them a hand by sending them my B&F PowerPoint presentation template that I use here at Berrigan and have used for other clubs to help them out, which I had no hesitation in doing as I think all clubs should help each other, not only did I get no feedback I also got no thanks. I recently had to deal with the committee again and got no joy in that as well.

I have nothing against the players because I’ve been out on the park when you’re getting a flogging and it’s not fun, the Wunghnu club does not put across the best image.

Notice in the Spectator in Picolas notes that they are having a vote on which direction they would like to go.

Personally and probably selfishly I would like to see all the Vic teams stay south. But when voting, club might be looking at chances of success and Picola would have a better chance on winning a flag in a northern comp, but it will make it very hard for them to pull players from Shepp, Numurkah, Nathalia, Echuca due to the travel. Tough call.

well for starters no i'm not new to this, i just recently changed my name! yeah fair enough if your abit pissed that you weren't or havin't been thanked for your help towards the club! but does it make you feel any better when you write some of these comments? because correct me if i'm wrong anyone but from where i'm sitting some of your comments come across as a little childish! now i do know what your role is with the berrigan footy club so i'm guessing that you probably dont mean for them to come across that way but they do & it gets a fair bit tiring when we here all these negative comments coming from all different directions towards the club! i know wunghnu's reputation has been very bad over the past say 5 to 10 years, i used to think the same as most before i came out to wunghnu but believe me when i say this if only all the fellow clubs knew how hard all us new players ( & the old 1's, not that there are many left) & the committe are trying to turn wunghnu back into a competitive & respected club!!!

It wasn't just the 2nd quarter that cost them! They were outplayed from quarter time onwards, in what was a slow strangulation.... Yes inaccurate kicking & discipline (or lack of) played a part BUT it seems to be forgotten that not all thier points were from set shots, Katandra's backline applied immense pressure on their forwards all day, cracks were exposed in their team & they cracked under pressure, the 50m penalties are proof of that. Katandra deserves some recognition for how they played, taught Dookie a thing or two about gelling together... Don't get me wrong, Dookie are a good team but their coach & some others are probably a bit naive when it comes to the stronger clubs of the Picola League & respect should be shown to those clubs.
I give them a few more weeks ATLEAST before Dookie really show their strength, that will come when they settle in & the individuals learn to work with each other... Should be a great season! ;)

so you didn't rate katandra's performance then?
Dont get me wrong Katandra played great footy (are definantly contenders) and put pressure on us all game which had influence on the way we a few of our players lost there heads. But if we had of kept our cool and not been undiciplined it would have been a different story. BUT its not and they have the points for this one but dont write us off its a long season and alot can happen between rounds.

Just read the scores from the Deni & Picola game.
Thought that it may have been a reversal of the score line, or at least alot closer.
What has been in the water in Deni over the pre season????:eek:

I thought that they would improve this year with a couple of locals returning and with a different coach plus a couple of others..... but this much, who would've guessed.....

Time will tell to see how good they are but what a start for them compared to recent seasons.

May b a good thing for the comp, considering Picola were mentioned in the top six by quite a few.:thumbsu: :thumbsu:

Yes well Deni seem to be on the improve! And yes it will make the comp alot more even, which is good. Deni's new coach Bode, what possy does he play? Must be pretty handy...

i watched the game on saturday, bode played in the ruck, on the ball and chf. Played okay. But it was the whole deni team that played well. every deni played beat his opponent! it will be an interesting game this week against blighty.
So will it be Bode vs Schoullar <(spelling) this weekend? To determind who wins.. Should be a cracker game.:thumbsu:

Bode
2007 GRFL B&F. Came a close second a few times
2007&2005 Nulliwal B&F ( Seniors lost to Wakool in GF)
2003 CMFL Premeirship (Lake Boga)
CMFL Representative (Major League)
Plays taller than his size. Also Josh would be taller than 183

Schoullar is about 26, and when on song would be best ruckman in competition by a mile, saw him play one game last year in the seniors for Central Districts and was awesome, will be intersting to see if he can adjust to the PDFL. Would be a gun ruckman in the GVFL.

It wont be just bode that blighty will have to consider... the rovers forward line looked very potent against picola. Which was a little surprising to me. I'd be interested to know what are the thoughts of any other people who watched the match between picola and deni.
I didnt see the match, but with Benji Hardman back into the side I belive it would be very potent. Man that bloke has got an awesome leap on him, and hard to stop when on fire. Who else has Deni got up forward to support him?

Hey there the Fev, Dont like the new coach???
Just having a look at some of your previous posts, seems that you may have left the club or is it that you dont like the coach???:confused:

Or are we just trying to keep a tight lip on things down at roverland this year?

I have heard that Bode moves well and can play,(a reigning league B&F) but i spose ur entitled to ur opinion.......

didnt watch the game but heard that the Rovers were very quick with their young kids looking very impressive. Good skills and apparently ran all over Picola Utd, good for the comp if they can continue with that impressive form

All fair points for sure, although the years at top are not possible, but still no real comparison. Having seen both play a fair bit, Bode will obviously have the leg speed and mobility, but for such a big bloke, Scoullar moves very well and gets in and under at a lot of contests. His height is unquestionable and has taken about 20 marks in both games this year.
Either way, it should be a good game and I will be there to watch.

well for starters no i'm not new to this, i just recently changed my name! yeah fair enough if your abit pissed that you weren't or havin't been thanked for your help towards the club! but does it make you feel any better when you write some of these comments? because correct me if i'm wrong anyone but from where i'm sitting some of your comments come across as a little childish! now i do know what your role is with the berrigan footy club so i'm guessing that you probably dont mean for them to come across that way but they do & it gets a fair bit tiring when we here all these negative comments coming from all different directions towards the club! i know wunghnu's reputation has been very bad over the past say 5 to 10 years, i used to think the same as most before i came out to wunghnu but believe me when i say this if only all the fellow clubs knew how hard all us new players ( & the old 1's, not that there are many left) & the committe are trying to turn wunghnu back into a competitive & respected club!!!

Well some of the committee has a bit to go then!

Any thoughts on this years leading goal kicker?

Howden should go well again but might push into the guts.
Freak has gone to Toc.
Cordy playing down back.
Lawless should hit the 50+ again.

Howden 80-90
Hardman 60-70
Priddle 50-60
Durwood 50-60
M.Meyland 50-70

Yeah sounds alright, Lawless wont kick that many, he will be playing on ball a bit and being tagged week in week out. Who does this Priddle play for?
What about Norman he should be good for 50+ shouldn't he?
The other Meyland will grab a few goals too.

As you said, it's one of the tougher qestions to answer this early into the season.

X. Kennady will boot a lot alot aswell.
Katamatite will move most of there forward thrust's through him.

What about Kennedy out at Kat land?

Not a bad list of names. Gossy Norman could surprise with the delivery he could get. The ton may not get hit this year, but I have been wrong before!

The days of one forward kicking all your goals leaves a team very one dimensional. Teams like Tungamah who have had (2006) Cheds, Lowe, Haebich, Wren x 2 regularly banging them through seems a lot harder to defend than the likes of Katunga or Yarroweyah who last year just had Howden & Freak to stop.

But Durwood helped out too!

It may work OK but what about those blokes who don't get a game because you have so many players.
I know some teams may S.T.ruggle for numbers but there will be teams with a few that have to miss out each week already. I dont think it should change.
Plus imagine how hard it would be on the 2s boys on deni's oval....... Too much ground to cover with only 16.

Are teams really struggling to fill their teams? 16 a side should only be played if a team is really struggling. Do what everyone else does and get the 3s to fill in the 2s and get the 4s to fill in the 3s.

I know a few old guys who love filling in every now and again, but there 'strings hate it.

Just about a flip of the coin for dookie shepp east. Maybe the easters in a close one.
Mathoura to beat berrigan

No, not the greatest news. He works on the family farm in Pine Lodge and they also have a farm over that way. He said over the summer that they are going over there during the year (drought conditions not as bad there apparently). I just didn't know it was going to be so soon.

Lets hope its a 'shonky' whereby he is going over to play one game and then get cleared back!!!

Just found out lads, that Brad Cordy is only getting a one week clearance to play with his brother-in-law Marc Trevilyan over in SA. Then will be cleared back to kat land.
He will be leaving for good soon thou, alot later in the year thou.
