Have it on good authority that Kangaroo Flat are about to anounce Shane Woewodin as there senior coach in the next couple of days. Apparently he was just waiting to see if he was getting picked up in the pre-season draft. He has relatives in Bendigo and it was reported that he was having a contractual dispute with East fremantle.

Not 100% sure it is Woewy, but apparently it is an Ex AFL player 30 Years Old just married a Perth Girl and is heading to K Flat. Exciting times at K Flat, Woogie stop crying son there is some hope for your fledgling career.

From what i have seen, would describe him as an untapped talent..
Capable of filling positions anywhere on the ground, but due to attitude and injuries over the years has never reached any great heights.. Maybe with a change of clubs could be a very valuable player!!

Great to see Ty Elliot,Stewy Hamilton and Levi Moss are back at Gisborne for season 2007.Levi had an injury prone 2005 but had a great 2006 with a Best on for Vic country Div 2 Grand final at the Australian Championships on the Gold coast.
Coach Barham must be an absolute ass Jumping jack inbred with all these former players coming back for more Kyneton and Bendigo scalps.
Looks to be another exciting season for the Dogs with players back and good numbers on the track.
Hello Warren- You Penis head good to see your love for KA is still so strong that you follow him to the Ballarat site.
With so much time on your hands you think you would put it to some use and help pull your club out the hole it is in.We need KF up and strong so Kyneton can eat some wood for a while.

as for past players returning to the club, have i not mentioned that Elsum, Vandenham, Scerri, Sam Young and Cook all look like playing for the tigers again next year??

Somehow I don't think those players listed are worth the 30 goals that you need to beat Gissy. Maybe 10.
By the way did you see the team on the year posted by Fifth Quater on the previous page? Have a look at the half back line!
Barham at CHB. Seeing he is the number one CHB in the comp in 06 it makes you posting credability look very shaky.

BFL SEASON DELAYED DUE TO WATER CRISIS
Bendigo Football League chairman Damian Drum today announced that the BFL 2007 season will be delayed by four weeks due to the worsening water crisis in the Bendigo region.
“At the moment there are four clubs that would be without a home ground if we were to follow the original draw,” he said.
“The four-week delay to the season will be achieved by a range of measures, including scrapping the Good Friday/Easter Saturday start to the season. We will also be eliminating the split-round in the latter part of the year.
“The BFL in conjunction with the VCFL and the Ballarat Football League have also decided to abandon our Interleague clash set down for early in the year.
“To gain an extra week we have decided to hold our grand final on the day after the AFL grand final which will bring us in line with the Goulburn Valley Football League which has been using this date for the past 20 years.
“We would like to acknowledge the support we have received from our member clubs, as the majority of our clubs have been able to link their systems up to either recycled water or bore water and are therefore not going to be affected by the extreme water restrictions that we are facing in Bendigo and Ballarat.
“We have been promised that the recycled water coming back from Epsom to Spring Gully will be available for the Queen Elizabeth Oval by mid March, and after discussions with the City of Greater Bendigo we are allowing four to six weeks for the QEO to be brought back to life.
“This additional four weeks will also hopefully give nature an opportunity to help out with some breaking autumn rains throughout April.
“As yet, there is no infrastructure in place to enable the recycled water to get to Kangaroo Flat’s Dower Park or Golden Square’s Wade Street reserves.
To get these two ovals up to playing standard, we are going to need either a lot of rain falling on the surface or we will need to have our storages replenished,” he said.
Mr Drum also urged Coliban Water to look at ways of better utilising the recycled water that’s going to be pumped into Spring Gully.
“Coliban Water is spending $30 million taking the water from Epsom to Spring Gully through the new pipeline but our understanding is that they are not spending one cent getting the water from the pipeline or Spring Gully onto the recreational reserves.”
Full details of the 2007 draw are available on the Bendigo Football League website. Go to www.bendigo.vcfl.com.au and click on competitions.

agreed that moss, elliot and hamilton would be walk up starters at kyneton - but you've gotta agree that they won't make gissy any better.
agreed that the return of mentioned players to kyneton won't be enough to make up the gap, but it's a fair start. better to get 10 goals better than 10 goals worse wouldn't you say??
players have come back from longer injuries than Sam Young to still play good footy. he is still only young (pardon the pun). Cook isn't past it - if he is past in, then what is duff-tyler??
CAN'T BELIEVE BARHAM was CHB in team of the year. You have got to play on the best forwards to be ranked as the best backman. I bet that was picked by the same media guru's who said Matty Fitzgerald was dominating the GF last year till he got injured. If you watch the video closely, you will notice he only troubled the statistician for 1 kick. Show's how closely those blokes watch the match.

Stuey Hamilton is a tagger AT BEST, gets the most out of his ability but if he's not tagging then he's not much value.
Don't get too carried away there Matt.
Cook, Elsum & Sammy Young are massive ins for Kyneton, They may be the big improvers this year?
here's some food for thought, since the bfl has been put back to may, and if the loddon and heathcote start on its original date which will be a few weeks before the bfl , do you think some players might be persuaded to play the first few in the adjacent leagues on agreement their cleared b4 the bfl starts. it might help a few clubs set up the start of their seasons or give some bottom clubs an oppertunity to get an early win. i could see a few young guys lured by $2-300 game for a few games concidering they might be only on minnimum match payments at their regular club if they play seniors there.
i might be onto something here.

Jack think you will find that Moss played at his home town of Lakes Entrance last year with a few mates trying to win a flag. Also has Scerri signed? Word is he is looking at a couple of metro clubs.

If my memory serves me correctly , Jason Duff -tyler was awarded the Bill Barham medal for pulling Brett Cooks pants down in the Gisborne v Kyneton game last year , i also believe he was awarded best player in Gisbornes recent finals campaign (which included another premiership) . As for Ty Elliot the last game he played in he was awarded B.O.G in the 2005 grand final(another premiership). He was also recently offered the assistant coaching job at Kyneton , but declined so i think you'll find he's going o.k as well .Not sure of your involvement at Kyneton J.J.F but these and all your previous posts suggest your Knowledge of our great game is very limited . But feel free to continue your attacks on Gisborne , they remind me of how Kyneton play they're footy . GUTLESS & WEAK AS P I S S !!!
No chance of Elsum going back kyneton loves it at down at douttas. Was named in the team of the year and could have won a grannie (not like kyneton who will sit on the bottom for years to come). Also Elsum went down town to play with factor and he's not coming back to kyneton thats for sure

how did duff tyler win player of the finals, was that in the seconds?? bit harsh on the young boys that got the medals in the GF not to get that recognition isn't it, or do all the trophies have to go to the big names??

He'd get a game no worries but i'd doubt he'd EVER cut a side up.
And i'm sure you'd agree there BB, Where do you play him if he's not tagging?
He was in and out of the side last time he was at Gissy...
And if we are talking best taggers, give me Button from EH or Kent from square in front of him or even Dawson from south.

From what I have heard the water supply is not 100% guaranteed yet so depending on conditions I'm not sure if they will go ahead with the lighting premiership. Might be a bit much for the ground to handle that early as well and I think it might be best to save it for the season proper when there is talk of Bendigo teams perhaps moving their games over there.

would it be an idea to play the lightning premiership over a few different grounds with bores?? how bout playing each section at a different ground?? castlemaine, kyneton, gisborne are all close enough so that you could travel from one ground to another for the finals??

Why delay the season for a few weeks??
The grounds won't get any softer unless it rains, so it's likely to stay the same all year.. Either call it off if it's unsafe or get on with it, because most likely the grounds won't be any better??

Fair point sockit. Very logical, surely there must be some other explanation to delay the season. It couldn't just be hoping for rain...............could it?

i don't think your getting the point, There are two reasons for the delay.
Firstly, They are trying to push it as far back as they can to avoid the hotter months like January when watering the grounds with the recycled water that they are getting from epsom. The later they water and hopefully the cooler the weather, then the more effect it will have on the ground. If they allow say 3 months of watering then Feb, March and April will be better than Jan, Feb and March
Secondly, Even though it probably wont rain, they need to give themselves every chance it might before the start of the season, and it wont happen in before March, but may happen anytime after that.
So why not eliminate novalty ideas like split rounds, feature games and interleague carnivals to push the season back to preserve the season!

Agreed Patty. Its sound thinking I believe and at this stage its the only thing they can do aside from continue to investigate other avenues to gain water for the grounds. Good on the league for being one of the first to get on the front foot and take some action!

BFL followers, the reason the season has been delayed is to allow time for the qeo to be brought back to life using the recycled water, which is expected to become available by late march.
obviously, once the water is availble, it's going to take time for the qeo to be brought back to a playable standard, therefore the bfl has allowed six weeks.
with the qeo, it provides options as far as kangaroo flat and golden square go, because it's no secret those grounds are root ed at the moment. with the lights it provides further options for fixturing.
if season had started in april, eaglehawk would have been the only ground in bendigo available.
hopefully, that goes some way to answering your questions.
for those who haven't seen what qeo, square and flat look like, make sure you pick up tomorrow's edition of the addy. they will be on the back page.
merry christmas friends.

6 weeks is a long time! 18? rounds straight is a bloody long year, have they thought about starting round 1 3 weeks later and playing a few games out side of Bendigo. LVFL, HDFL and MCDFL. It would be good for those league and it would be good for the BFL as they could now have byes and interleague or whatever. I dont see why the must have the QEO up and running to start the footy season.

It would be a very costly exercise I would think for clubs to move games to rival venues. Clubs in other leagues are not going to want to put too much stress on their grounds so the fee to use the oval would be exhorbidant.

already square honchos are saying drought will effect their $$$$$$ raising pretty harshly
without home games and fund-raisers at the clubrooms afterwards square and flat will struggle to raise money at least flat gets a fair few $$$$$ from their allokation from the licenced club at dower park
no good playing somewhere else and having a function AWAY from your own rooms casual spectators hop in the car and head straight home after the final siren
and if the bombers can get h. skipworth from the crows (44 afl games i beleve) to their vfl outfit why cant flat get someone with a bit of experience :confused: :confused:
its going to be january b4 we now it and the green and white boys r still coachless ok so mattie knights has a bit of pull but the flattys need to extract the digit

The league needs the qeo badly, it's the showcase venue of the league and Square and Flat won't be using their grounds, not at the start of the season anyway.
I'm concerned though with the availability of the qeo. You've already got South or Sandhurst there on a Saturday and then there's also the Bombers and the Pioneers playing games there on some Sundays. I don't think there's a lot of room to fixture extra games at the qeo. Perhaps Cantebury Park out at Eaglehawk might have to be an option. It was used during the finals about 3 years ago when the qeo was out of bounds.
Anyway, how does everyone like my new CD? I've ben fairly busy putting it together, that's why you haven't heard from me in a while.

if thats true dont you think the hierachy at eaglehawk would think they have a problem somewhere with most of the U/18sfrom last year going elsewhere and quite a lot of the senior side leaving plus Milward has a broken leg apparently

There is talk that they penny's aren't flowing as frequently as in recent years at the Borough, which Under 18 players have they lost?? They had some very good talent in their 3rds team this year.

i think thats theproblem that money bags still around although he must nt be putting much in because they cant afford to pay out much because they got bugger all by all accounts dont know about the big bloke but a lot of the kids dont want to play with old blokes because by all accounts they have picked up some old ruckman from castlemaine and theyre prepared to pay good money to them than the younger blokes and the latest is milward hasnt broken his leg as has been reported

Heard over the weekend that Charlie and Xavier Thompson will be joining Castlemaine from Harcourt.
Both very good players both played pioneers when they were younger, CHarlie more than Xavier, Charlie has played QAFL, very skillfull. Xavier was best on ground in Harcourts grand final win last year and is a tough and hard running player.
Both should be good pick ups
