What's happening in the Bendigo Football League

[Halffullonfence]

Who are you reffering to?

Was wondering who the vic reps and the interleaguers were in the u/15s and where they played in 2005.

Just asking a question & No I don't know the answer.

[On The Money]

Wouldnt be suprised if james burke played in the bendigo league this year..James is a prety good player as well would be good in a league like the bendigo one!

Yer both the Burkes are on board at South and with those two along with Dayne Frew and Marty Shadbolt the Bloods will be quite strong up forward.

Just had a look at Flat write on up on the new Coach John Rombotis posted on their webpage and it said he coached Roxburgh to an impressive 6 victories in his first season there!!

Anyway hopefully he is a good pick up for the Flat.

[bearsboy]

Cant get hold of an Addy , my mail was Rombotis to coach , Marty Warry assistant and Ty Zantuck to play if he doesnt go to the Bullant's , great news for the Flat and the BFL if this is true . No doubt we will be hearing from our old mate Wazza very shortly .Any truth to the Zantuck one Caveman ?

the 2 country vic boys both came through thr kdjfl. the woodend boys came to kyneton beacuse of the low standerd of the riddle district footy league

[remote]

Happy New year guys ... back after a spell down the beach at Anglesea.
Correct OTM and others -- At Dower Park, Rombotis to coach, Warry to play and be assistant coach and Hamish Dahl to be an odds on cert. to re-sign with the Flat and withdraw from the Square I would say.
Strangely Rombotis altho not much older than Warry says he's only going to coach, not play. Very odd.
Both of them had a gallop with the Roy Boys in the AFL and Rombotis with Richmond and maybe one other AFL club. Not sure if Warry played with any other AFL outfit other that Fitzroy.Perhaps he did and prolly in the SANFL, too.
Warry says in the BFL he will play as a "crash and bash" midfielder and will take a turn down back. Wot's the betting they'll have some mates coming.
Hope Brooksie and his team have plenty of $$$$$$$ coming in--- they're going to need them.

Hamish Dahl has absolutely zero intentions of returning to kangaroo flat, he is extremely happy at Golden Square.

6 wins doesnt sound much but considering it was the first year Roxburgh Park had fielded a seniors team it was a great effort! They had to start a team from scratch!

Ok and what was the story in ''06'' did they improve or slide?
Have you met Rombotis Caveman?

Yes I have met Rombotis and in 2006 Roxburgh Park had 8 wins and 9 losses in EDFL B Grade. The standard also lifted big time in B Grade as there was plenty of new recruits which lifted the standard of the comp. I will give you an example of some players running around in EDFL B Grade.

[jumpingjackflash]

Trouble is though is that I have never played for Romsey. So I don't know why you would even bring them up!

If Kyneton played in the RDFL in 2006 they would have struggled to beat Riddell in the granny.

I'm sure most people on here would agree with me when saying that it is unlikely that Kyneton will never be a force in the BFL over the next two decades.

The junior system is poor, there is very little work in the area to offer recruits and they have screwed over far too many businesses to get adequate sponsorship to pay for Massina's wishlist.


nicholls that is the biggest prediction of ALL TIME. 2 decades, hahahahaha. As for the businesses "they" have screwed over, can you please provide us with some examples.

somebody quoted Rombotis and Warry on the EDFL thread as being "theives".
what are peoples thoughts on coach's living so far away from their club. 20-30 minutes up or down the road is not to bad, maybe even 45, but with Rombotis and Warry still being based in Melbourne does that not make life a bit tough??

[BlueBoy41]

Here's a useless piece of knowledge worth considering: Eaglehawk forward Matt Gretgrix has won a premiership every second year he has played football, ever since he was a junior in the under-14s with Charlton. Could this year be the year for the Hawkers?

[bearsboy]

I tend to disagree with the standard lifting in 2006 the two extra wins would have been from Moonee Valley being relegated from A Grade to B Grade they were shocking. Craigeburn being promoted to A grade also would have hurt B Grades strength

Mate that is a fair call about Moonee Valley but your overall statement is wrong in my opinion.

Teams like

West Coburg
Maribyrnong Park
Pascoe Vale
Airport West
Tullamarine

They were very strong last year and lifted the standard of B grade. Yes some of the bottom teams werent very good but to still win 8 and lose 9 is a good effort! Feel free to go on the EDFL thread and ask if B Grade was stronger or weaker last year. I would be interested to see what they think!

Im off to Geelong for a few days guys so I will be back Monday!

GO FLAT!!!

[matt_nicholls]

The junior programs I was referring to was the KDJFL, which is of a very poor standard for the Under 11 and 13 juniors. When they graduate from that league it is a huge ask to go into the Under 15s.

As for working at numerous newspapers. I have worked at two and am currently happy at The Free Press in Kilmore.

As for my coaching of junior cricket. My theory when working with juniors, especially at Under 16 level when they are close to playing seniors, is to treat them like adults. I do not employ a 'win all-be all' attitude, but I teach the lads to play hard and fair. Some coaches do not agree with this policy.

++++

On a footy note, great to see Kangaroo Flat sign up Rombotis. Hopefully he can attract some good players and make the Flat a much more competitive side. I still pull out the old Freo v Fitzroy game on video from time to time and I still vividly remember Rombotis and Warry in the side for the Roys.

how can a under11's and under13's be of poor standard? they are only there to have a run around! most of 'em couldnt give a sh*t whether they get a kick or not.

Skills and development wise they are behind many of the local junior leagues in the state. And Football Victoria and the VCFL are both aware of that and are trying to address it.

No way did the standard improve - the EDFL B grade weighted the draw to help the crap teams. Roxy Park only played 1 of the top 7 teams twice and 3 of the bottom 4 teams twice. There is 6 wins straight away.

The only win of note was beating a team that finished 7th.

[Courageunderfire]

Vic Reps- Shane Page, Rhys Ellis

Interleague- Shane Page, Rhys Ellis (VC & C respectively), Ben Saliba, Calum Carney, Elliott Massina, Jackson Garvey-Hawke

Calder Cannons Reps- Carney, Massina, Garvey-Hawke

Pioneers- Ellis, Page, Ben & Alex Saliba, Hayden Smith, Casey Williams

More reps in other age groups

And other handy players such as Grae, Dlaziel etc.

what do u think of the boys as people in general are they a good bunch of kids and do u have any going futher places in there cricketing career

[matt_nicholls]

Kyneton certainly have some handy U15 and U16.5 footballers. I have never understood why the club's U18 side performs poorly.

the 16.5 this year have picked up a few recruits from ur cricket team pickols got any idea of who they wuld be

[matt_nicholls]

what do u think of the boys as people in general are they a good bunch of kids and do u have any going futher places in there cricketing career

Some great kids in the side. Myles Dorman will make a good wicketkeeper batsman at a top level one day. Rory Healy has plenty of batting potential. Rob Cini has ability with the bat and ball and only needs a few technique issues ironed out. Luke Malone will be a good bowler. Other players such as Aaron Andrews, Calum Furness and Matt Bowden will be good cricketers if they stick at it and trust their coaches advice :D

[matt_nicholls]

Don't know Davis24. Myles Dorman is a gun footballer for his age. Cannons don't pay him much respect though. I'm guessing because of his size. I'm pretty sure Rory Healy is a good footy player and he lives in Tylden so would be a chance to play at Kyneton this year.

Rombotis is a great bloke and has a very good football brain.
will be a positive for the club.
Rumors that he is trying to lure Aaron James to the club for the last 5 games and finals if the club makes them.
Cant play first 13 due to suspension.

[matt_nicholls]

Wallan have a couple of guns in Todd Keenan and Brandon Hooper. Rupertswood's Matt Twentyman is pretty handy. Romsey's Chris Burkett has plenty of batting ability. Elliott Massina is a good batsman (I am not a massive fan of his bowling but he takes wickets too).

[matt_nicholls]

Cal is a great kid but likes to do things his way. Cricket is a team game and I had to crack down on him a couple of times for falling out of place. Nothing personal and we get along fine.

why would he waste his time signing some1 that is only going to play 5 games... there not going to make finals so why bother use the money to get a younger kid that is going to stay at the club for a bit

I think kyneton has put alot of effort this year into selecting 3 really good coches neville massina put a alot of effort in the club behind the scenes and gets along with all the players really well and also a very good coach most of the recruits kyneton has picked up has been through his hard work. Bill Young to coach the 2s is good pick up along with his son sam and Mark Tunzi to coach the indwr 18s is nothing but good for the club alon of the younger kids know him through work or outside the club i think that kynetons 18s this year wont have to be worrying bout not getting enough players cause alot will come and most will stay due to how well they get on with mark

Spot on. Bill Young should do a good job. Kyneton's key is to keep blokes like Nick Scholes around the place. A good two's player and a bloke who will get mates to play. Don't know a lot about Mark Tunzi but if he can get a squad of 25 blokes to work with he should be ok, considering some of the talent around the town in the U18 age bracket.

A lot of talk about the Flat and Kyneton. Time to post the odds for this years flag and we can see where they sit.

Castlemaine $35
Marybourogh $100

Sandhurst were beaten by 130 points by Gisborne in the last round of the 06. Word just in is that they will be the big movers. Injuries last year and adding a few players will see their odds drop by round 1.

The Square have improved where as Gissy have stayed the same if not gone back a little. Dahl is a massive signing. Gissy need a tall forward to be the stand out again. Also tough to win 3 in a row.

Eaglehawk will drop back, especially if they lose Robins, Jacobs, etc

nicholls i'm struggling to keep up with your posts today - must be a busy news day is it??
gee mate, $50 on gissy for the flag, going out on a limb there. that would be a week's wages for you.
what are your cricket credentials by the way?? also, is Zac Boyer still playing junior cricket at Woodend?? He would have to be top of the class if he is. brilliant wrong-un and a run making machine.


For those who don't know much about Mark Tunzi - he will be a good coach of the 3rds at kyneton. Very Disciplined tough as nails back pocket player in the glory years in the 90's. Won't take any crap from the younger boys at kyneton, which is exactly what they need. The last year or 2 have been pretty ordinary, with the bare minimum (and sometimes less) it's been a case of anything goes. The Redpath boys and so on will only benefit from having him around the place.
Bill Young is an interesting one.

Nicholls i'm also actually going to agree with you on the Nick Scholes call. Blokes like him are the ones you need to keep, rather than letting slip off back to the RDFL so they can play "ones". It's tough though, when a club might throw even $50-75 a game in front of them, to want to stay play seconds at a cost (ie membership, travelling etc etc)

[Trent the flight Steward]

Yer both the Burkes are on board at South and with those two along with Dayne Frew and Marty Shadbolt the Bloods will be quite strong up forward.

Just had a look at Flat write on up on the new Coach John Rombotis posted on their webpage and it said he coached Roxburgh to an impressive 6 victories in his first season there!!

Anyway hopefully he is a good pick up for the Flat.

have the bloods lost their two most important players in danny obree and the wife in luke beattie, both players are match winners, as well as the losses of knight, jennings and dawson not sure if they can cover those losses.
will be interseting to see how the flat lineup and how long it takes rombotis to become a playing coach, warry has got be past his best as a player, i beleive he lined up for boort a few years ago, so obviously he enjoys getting plenty of cabbage as you would say on the money, will be interesting to see if Damien " mark jackson' Brown comes back to the club now they have a coach of the highest pedigree as rombotis managed to win 6 games as coach something brown could not achieve in two years, if they reatain brown, dahl, belz who would remind the romboid of himself at a younger age, and recruit zantuck and dont forget glenn hutchinson to return from overseas and perhaps matt dalton linking to play with his younger brother a more competive flat for season 07 lets just hope they record an upset and defeat gisborne in gisborne

Zac Bowyer is now at senior level and I think playing at North Melbourne or another club in the premier comp. Can play!

It's a shame clubs like Gisborne and Kyneton lose quality reserves players to neighbouring senior clubs for money, I agree.

As for my cricketing credentials I am not much of a player. Captained the U14s and U16s in my junior days at Romsey and now skipper the second XI at Lancefield. As a wicketkeeper I get the job done but I'm not classy. As an opening bat its likewise. I can stick around for the first hour or so most games but there are never many runs on the board.

good to see the flat get on the board , just hope marty warry has been properly rehabilitated from his stretch in barwon prison . Thought the flat pres might have done a background check.. Another 14 recruits and they might be in the mix... chopout

Yeah pretty much. I have Rob Short, Ken Johnson and a couple of other senior bodies. I'll be getting a few of my senior players in Tim Collins and Greg Woodburn back for the rest of the season hopefully. I only took the captaincy to help in the development of the Under 16s.

so you dont really get on with them the boys said they give em a laugh

[Courageunderfire]

A lot of talk about the Flat and Kyneton. Time to post the odds for this years flag and we can see where they sit.

Golden Square $2.50
Gisborne $3
South Bendigo $7
Eaglehawk $14
Sandhurst $20

Castlemaine $35
Marybourogh $100
Kyneton $500
North City $500
Kangaroo Flat 1.6 million to one


I'll have 20 on Kyneton

[Courageunderfire]

nicholls i'm struggling to keep up with your posts today - must be a busy news day is it??
gee mate, $50 on gissy for the flag, going out on a limb there. that would be a week's wages for you.
what are your cricket credentials by the way?? also, is Zac Boyer still playing junior cricket at Woodend?? He would have to be top of the class if he is. brilliant wrong-un and a run making machine.


For those who don't know much about Mark Tunzi - he will be a good coach of the 3rds at kyneton. Very Disciplined tough as nails back pocket player in the glory years in the 90's. Won't take any crap from the younger boys at kyneton, which is exactly what they need. The last year or 2 have been pretty ordinary, with the bare minimum (and sometimes less) it's been a case of anything goes. The Redpath boys and so on will only benefit from having him around the place.
Bill Young is an interesting one.

Nicholls i'm also actually going to agree with you on the Nick Scholes call. Blokes like him are the ones you need to keep, rather than letting slip off back to the RDFL so they can play "ones". It's tough though, when a club might throw even $50-75 a game in front of them, to want to stay play seconds at a cost (ie membership, travelling etc etc)


Is this Zac Boyer himself????

[Courageunderfire]

zach Boyer to my best knowledge is playing first grade cricket up in essendon

4ths to be exact

[Kings Army]

I'll have 20 on Kyneton


Great - I have just wound them out to 1000/1 as I forgot Messina was still coaching there.

[KingRich]

Maryborough will finish lower than Kyneton. Reckon the maine may challenge for a top 5 spot this year also.

[Kings Army]

Time for ladders:

Golden Square
Gisborne
Sandhurst
South Bendigo
Eaglehawk

Castlemaine
Maryborough
Kyneton
North City
Kangaroo Flat

[smasher100]

Golden Square

So Sandhurst above South and Eaglehawk on the ladder but not with your odds? Bit strange don't you think!

Very strange - but final's footy is a strange thing!!

South Bendigo finished 2nd but lost by 120 points in a final.

Home and away and Flags should be separate.

No one has said anything at all about the maine, so i'm taking no news as good news and them to be the smokey in the finals. Eaglehawk might be a bit to old for my liking, but then again, you can never underestimate a Filo.

[jumpingjackflash]

4ths to be exact

4ths is correct, was just wondering if he was playing juniors still at woodend, as he was captain of a rep side recently, wasn't sure if that was the Gissy kids or just a regional side.

[Kings Army]

YOU ARE A DK HEADD WHAT HAS NEVILLE MASSINA EVERY DONE WRONG BY KYNETON YOU STUPID FOOL

And you are a f uckwit - Kyneton went backwards in the 2 years under him. Won 6 games in 05 Won 5 games in 06. 4 games in 07??

Terrible at Maryborough worse at Kyneton. Talks himself up but delivers pus!

Sounds like Kings Army was thinking of the Gisbourne FC whilst taking a swim. Are you a captain or previous captain KA ???

[Santoz]

Not only is Cameron Hall linked to South Bendigo but he has also been linked to Sandhurst as well. I heard he was going to sign with the Bloods a few days ago but musn't have as he was said to have been discussing his playing future with the Sandhurst FC within the past day or two ...

Also Josh Dawson to stay at South Bendigo ...

alright mate calm down wuld you be able to tell us who this footballer was

[ablett]

i not 200% sure who it is but i'm 99% sure so i don't wan't to discriminate sum1 just incase but it definately happened, although after checking with sum other sources it could of happened a month or two ago not recently as i first stated.
if it is the player i think it is, he is in the top 20 bfl players.
he brings a new meaning to a captain TOSSING the coin b4 the game.

How do we rate Kynetons Coach?

Young and Tunzi great assets for Kyneton, Massina sack him and put Young as senior coach then Kyneton may make their way up the ladder.

[davis24]

thats a bit harsh. the reason for kyneton recruiting well this yr is 95% because of nev he has travelled around the state and even across state to try and pick up recruits for kyneton

[Courageunderfire]

And you are a f uckwit - Kyneton went backwards in the 2 years under him. Won 6 games in 05 Won 5 games in 06. 4 games in 07??

KA mate what do you do sit at home and jerk off over becoming a good coach. But recently you realised it will never happen so you've become a homosexual critic. F U ck off hero:thumbsd:

Yer that mail could be pretty right he was talking that way a couple of weeks ago and he would be a loss for the square.

hasn't Beattie signed at Sunbury general??

is it true you haven't worked a day since you got sacked as the night janitor at flexdrive??

[hey thats my bike]

As a player, I think the committee has done a terrific job for the Kangaroo Flat Footy Club. I met Marty & Rombo on Wednesday night and they were great blokes. Looks like some big inclusions this year for the Flat too! I know Leroy Stevens (Treasurer) pretty well and he seems to think these blokes aren’t costing the earth either. They just want to get blokes to the club that want to play for the club, not the money
