Mate I am very close with the Nully footy club and I'm preety sure the Bode and Benji will stay just from whats been said. But even if he and Bode want to come back next I dont think it would be wise to bad him out and not making him feel welcome. Benji has settled in really well and being playing good footy.
good call catter. I agree with ringo, no one player is above the club but the clubs arn't alway the victims. Clubs can take for granted some players and just expect them to hang around while they throw huge money at recruits who might not deserve it, leaving the local player to ask what is going on. If this bloke is as good as Riewoldt12 says he is i think the club should keep him interested by letting him stay around and train. He has stood by them for 200 od games. There seems to be a fair bit more going on behind the scenes at the Deni Rover i think. Their coach quit for the 2nd time on the weekend. The tresurer also threw the towell in. Whats going on down there Riewoldt12 ??

Mutton Chops, we are simply disappointed with how the whole season is going. Losing Benji has simply compounded that. I don't know where you heard about the coach and treasurer, because that is all news to me.
As for paying players, the club pays no one, which may be a problem in itself, except for their coaches.
Hopefully things will turn around. As for Bode, he has already contacted an ex-player about sitting on the bench and being chairman of selectors for us next year, so I would say the job is pretty much done there.
Will hopefully have more news for you guys after training tonight.

Heard on the grape vine about the tresurer and read about the coach quitting on the pastoral times website. Not having ago at the club about paid players just giving an overview from an outsider. I have seen in the past a few local players taken for granted while others get huge money. If that doesnt happen at your club thats great. Let us know how training goes tonight. Could be an interesting night for you. Good luck.. If i hear any more on the hardman and bode issue from my contacts i will let you know.

Our coach has stepped down as senior coach for the remainder of the year. The big man is due to have major heart surgery and it seems he is able to get in and get that done a little quicker than expected. Therefore, simply does not have the time to go on. Caretaker coach will be formally announced on Thursday night, but more than likely will be assistant coach Gerard Robinson, who is highly respected among the playing group.
As for our treasurer, he is staying on and has been quite vocal in his non-support of the coach from the beginning of the year. He simply should stick to his role and let the football side take care of itself.
A good feeling at training last night. Had close to our best numbers for the year. A few of us senior players also spoke to our ex-coach and wished him the best of luck in the coming weeks. There are definitely no hard feeling between the players and coach.
Maybe, just maybe all things are pointing to an upset win over Mathoura this weekend. WHo knows, stranger things have happened.
That is all.

Totally agree. Committee members especially executive committee members should stick to running the club and let the coach do what they have employed him to do, coach. Bugs me alot when committee members try to influence what happens out on the field. I they want to coach they should apply for the position when it comes available, if not show some support.
Mathoura this weekend. Didnt i hear that there were a couple of players neally come to Rovers this year but opted to travell to mathoura for huge money ? Should be a good game.
With the coach gone, will the new assistant still welcolme mr hardman back to training or do you think that door will be closed ? interesting couple of weeks for you guys. good luck this weekend.

Yeah, a few of the Mathoura guys were virtually through the door, in particular Brad Todd, but Mathoura came in with a very big cheque book and lured down the road.
Club would love nothing better than to take it right up to them this weekend.
As for Robbo welcoming Benji back. Unsure about that. I know he is not happy with what has happened, but he would also know that he only has the job for 6 weeks, therefore may simply put up with it. Robbo travels from Echuca and is unlikely to be there next year.

The stand in coach has no aspirations of coaching next year ? Why is it doubtful that he will not return ? Is it the travel? It is probably one of the biggest issues in footy i think, travelling especially with the price of fuel. Players who travell dont want to be out of pocket (which is fair enough) so the clubs normally would wear the extra costs. Which is what may be pushing up the ever increasing player costs to clubs. Tough issue but no simple answer.

Robbo is probably at the end of his playing days. He is mid-30's and has 2 little boys. He also has a very good job, which requires a lot of travel itself and the added pressure of training and playing is taking it's toll. The club has been really good to both of us, who have travelled from Echuca for 5 years now, but in the end, the cost and wear and tear on the car and body is too much.

I thought the club had turned the corner recently. As u may know i get up that way for a break every now and then and I remember someone saying the club had improved.

The rovers seems to be going through a tough time.
What's your relationship with the Rams like? They look like they aren't going to make finals for the first time in years.
Could you entice a couple of players from the Rams across in coaching roles or is the relationship that bad that they would never come.
Just to though my two bob in - the Deni Rams next year will be offering Josh Bode a paying position next year along with Paul Schoullar (former SANFL Player). Hardiman is believed to be also headed to Ramland after the bad publicity from certain Rovers players and officials. Unfortunately, the Rovers are headed down the tube as it fails to attrach quality players due to the poor image and backstabbing which has been going on down there for years. May I also note that some of the players from out of town playing for Rovers would struggle to get a senior game in a half competitive side.
As I been saying over the last few post, Bode will be staying at Nulli next year. Whether it being coach or just a player not quite sure. As for Benji Im not quite sure what he is doing, but the way the rovers are treating him he wont go back to the rovers!

Whos looking like coaching the Rams next year ? Is the current coach putting in for the position or are they looking for another option ? Picking up bode, schoular and hardman would be a good start to the season.
The Rams or the Rovers? are both positions up for grabs?:thumbsu:

Shepparton News
The push to establish an Echucabased competition is being spearheaded by disgruntled Central Murray Football League clubs Leitchville-Gunbower, Koondrook-Barham and Cohuna.
The trio, along with Mathoura, Moama and Lockington-Bamawm United have spent the past six months exploring the logistics behind creating the league.
The working party recently released a three-page document outlining the possible framework, including minimum number of clubs, administration structure and even availability of umpires.
It is hoped the prospectus will help clubs make an informed decision about the new league.
FALLING FLAT
July 7 2006
Shepparton News
The push to establish a new Echucabased football league appears doomed.
A News survey yesterday revealed the ambitious proposal doesn't have the necessary support at club level to become a reality.
At least four of the 11 clubs pivotal to the project's success have indicated a reluctance to sever their current allegiances and form a new league.
The Deniliquin Rovers, Echuca United, Picola United and Tongala are all expected to reject an official invitation to join the new venture.
"We've talked about this on several occasions and we're absolutely not interested," Echuca United president Robin Rowbottom said yesterday.
"We're more than happy in the Murray league and we think this proposed move would be a big step backwards."
Deni Rovers counterpart Michael Fleming agreed, saying his club would prefer to remain in Picola District Football League.
"While we're not delighted with the current 15-club composition, we see our future in the Picola league," Fleming said.
"We think there would be too great a gap in the standard of the clubs earmarked for the Echuca league."
Deni Rovers, Echuca United, Picola United and Tongala have all been earmarked as potential foundation members of the proposed league, along with Pyramid Hill, Moama, Mathoura, LeitchvilleGunbower, Lockington-Bamawm United, Cohuna Kangas and Koondrook.
Victorian Country Football League official Alan Davies has spent the past week gauging the level of support that exists for the venture.
Davies, along with fellow VCFL representative John O'Donohue, has been pitching the new league to several clubs throughout the Goulburn Murray region.
The new league will only become a reality if at least 10 clubs pledge their support.
Davies said a vote would be taken by the end of the month and a definitive decision made one way or the other.
"By the end of July we'll know if we're going to push ahead or defer discussions for another 12 months," he said.

Paul is going back to Deni and is actually still the no1 ruckmen for Central Districts (SANFL) and his brother Leigh will also return to Deni. No talk of Bode or Hardiman though at the reunion last weekend. Andrew May to return they hope.
Is there any truth to the rumour that Deniliquin Rovers coach Jeff Fehring has been given the sack?

Pretty sure that is correct - had a meeting with Rovers committee and said he would coach out the year but the committee elected to stand him down as coach.

Whats the reason for this? Only a rumour, and may not be true but i heard on the grapevine that he was caught sleeping with a 14 year old. As i said im not sure if this is true so dont take my word for it.

I hope that's not true! I believe he went off a bit at a few people and the committee didn't like his attitude.

That's a shocking rumour their!
I think Riewoldt12 might shed some light on that.
Gee that is a really bad rumour.I would have thought Fehring would have kept the club competitive. I reckon they played finals a few years ago. It seems the club may have bottomed out. Hopefully they can turn it around as they did a few years ago.

definately not the case and couldnt be further from the truth, its a shame how those things get spread around.
the reason for the announcement from jeff came due to him feeling he lacked the players respect and also the respect from parents of players and committee members, he felt he had said all he could say and done all he could do to get the team to play at its best and that wasnt happening, and on top of the fact that he has some health issues, all lead to his departure.
so i guess we can put that issue to rest now?

You can never write off Waaia in the finals. They have one of the best records in the state. Jury is still out on Picola, they seem to be bottom side bullies.
If they play off against Waaia in the opening final I reckon they would be in trouble. Waaia has some hard nuts, including Garry Stevens.
Heard that when Waaia beat Picola a few weeks back, a few of Picola's lower-tier players that had been going well wouldn't go near Stevens - they were frightened.
Don't know enough about Shepp East but based on results of this year I'm surprised they didn't go into Murray League. You'd think it would also help them entice more GV players.
When did Gary stevens start playing for Waaia? They are finals specialists.

Gary Stevens has played most of the year at Waaia and is said to be looking fwd to the big games to come.
Mat Cason, another Finals specialist is set to have a real crack.

The Rovers will need to lure a top-line coach,players and spend some coin to hope for any improvement. Reiwoldt 12 is the man to talk to about this club. Looking back at past results they appear to have played finals in 2003 and been competitive for a 3-5 yr period.:)

G'day guys.
Still been struggling a bit of late up at Rover land, but the bye has refreshed us and with a couple of blokes back this week are confident of a good showing against Katty and Blighty in the next fortnight. Numbers at training are still pretty good and it is surprising somewhat about the positive vibe around the club still.
With finals fast approaching, do guys wanna give their thoughts about how they see the finals panning out.
Personally, top 6 will be Shepp East, Tungamah, Katandra, Picola, Waaia and maybe Katunga to slip into 6th. Yarroweyah seem to be struggling with injuries at present. If the finals series is wet, I expect Picola to do a bit of damage, but a dry August will definitely suit Tungamah's big forwards. Waaia and Katandra are finals specialists and know how to get the job done, but it looks like Shepp East's class all over the ground and ability to play in any kind of weather, may mean they will take some beating. Shepp East v Tungamah grand final.
Cheers

They lost their ruckman early, and we seemed to get on top in the guts, all we needed was a marking forward and we would of had the game sown up!
They also lost one player to suspension, 4 weeks.
If you guys win the centre you'll win the game.

Thanks for that. We are pretty confident again this week against our arch rivals.
You mentioned about Goddard probably returning if you got a new president. Why?
Still like Shepp East for the premiership, but Tungamah's forward line on a dry day is going to take some stopping.

Riewoldt, any news around the traps about a new coach for you guys next year. As mentioned in a previous quote there has been a couple of names thrown about. I also hear the RAMS will be looking for a new one. Any news there ?? This will be a first for Deni. Not having a side in the final series. Have you guys been keeping an eye on Mr Hardman over in his new side. How has he been going ?? Is he back at training with you guys ? Congrats on the win on the weekend..

No news on a new coach as yet, worry about that when the time arises, we will get through the rest of the season first. Benji is travelling along very well, settled in down there and is playing some good footy out of the goal square and the middle.

Our current Pres was the only one really holding him back from getting his clearence, Roe asked of him to stay for a number of games and he did what they wanted but the Pres was still playing hard ball. We will have a new Pres next year, Goddard didn't play again this week he told me he has lost interest.

regaridng the retirement of Roe as coach at seasons end would the club be looking at getting timmy back to the club? If so that would bring quite a few blokes back from other leagues id imagine, and he'd be worth every cent the club had and provide great leadership for the young kids at the club. who else is rumoured to be heading back to the mighty saints for next season?

Tim's name has been mentioned since mid season, but I think that it would be a big ask to get him, you could gaurantee a flood of players back if we got him. But one of his team mates that is getting named at the moment as one we are chasing.
Another that we are chasing from O&M would see Bush back, but I'm not sure who else would come back though, Possible Pretzle and Goddard.

I know he loves his new job the Flat got for him, I just hope that they don't use that againts him if he was to decide that he want's to play with his mates and family again.

Magicfrog, I hope you have picked us this week to topple Blighty. A great feeling amongst the players group. Saturday is also sponsors and past players day at the Club. All looks towards being a tough day for the Redeyes. Another upset on the cards I am thinking.

Sorry Riewolt12, I didn't should of last week though, I'm still coming third, 3.5 behind leader, so much for winning it 3 years in a row, and they have better prizes this year!

Touchy subject but all I will say is that Past Premiership player and local sporting identity had massive fall out and a punch on that resulted in one of them being questioned by local cops.

No doubt as soon as the final game is over, we will be pretty aggresive in our recruiting of players and especially trying to secure a coach. Still a bit of talk about Bode returning to the club.
Finals just around the corner. What is everyone thinking, especially seeing Tunga gave Shepp East a nice old touch up on the weekend. Still like Shepp East, but as I have always said. A dry finals series and good days are going to make Tunga's forward line very hard to control.

To be honest, i'd only be guessing if answered that. Look we always liked to think they just spent up big n bought success, but it was probably more just jealous of them coz of how easy and good they seem to run as a club. At the end of the day success brings success and they always seem to be well ran off and on the field. And being so close to shepp id imagine recruiting wouldn't be overly hard for them. Obviously there commitee are top notch and get it right year in year out and they get strong support. For my home team, beating them at any level, rarely happened, so when it did it meant the world and probably why we loved to have a strong rivalry full of hatred with their club....

Well Howard Yelland won it in our first year and we didn't win to many but he came into the leauge with a fair reputation. I think Brunskill gets noticed more at Strathy than Iddles.

C'mon Magic, you can tell us. I think it will be between young Hickey and Thornton, maybe Littlejohn to poll well, also. Am I close?
Our vote count is on a Sunday and all junior and senior football and netball teams are done. A long day, and in the past not done particularly well. The presentation night is to follow the next Saturday night. Senior B&F, maybe between Liam Fleming and Aiden Jenkin. Both been pretty consistent all year.

I wouldn't be surprisedif the Silver Fox made a late surge, he had a good second half of the year, as did Aidan, where as Bones was consistent all year.

Have to apologise their Can Shop, Scott done well for himself last night at the count picking up best opposition player, in what was a tight contest, then he managed to get runner up in the big one going down to favourite Brunt.
Well done to all who picked up awards, Brunt was always going to win as was Scott Evans in the Magoo’s.
Heard last night that Ad’s will leave his coaching role at Yarroweyah and return to Waaia and that Berrigans new coach might be coming from with in the PDFL.

Each week the opposition team vote on the 3 best players from your team in a 3,2,1 vote card system, it's called the Barooga Sporties Award, its a cash award, if you check out www.pdfl.vcfl.com.au you can see the results from the Seniors vote and the Reserves one.
I don't know if Ad's is going back to coach.
