No wonder the town still stinks. With the wind blowing the wrong way we would end up getting sent home from SHC.

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:
A homo crtic? So if I bag you does that mean I have outed you?
You sent me a private message asking me about Messina - you Kyneton trolls blow smoke up his ar$e when most players that have played under think he is cat. His 1qr time and 3qr time speeches are terrible focusing mainly on bagging the opposition. Nothing constructive for his team. Kyneton have gone backward under him.
You have people like Davis24 who is a young kid flying the flag for him and really does not have a clue about footy or life for that matter. I am sure he will jump straight back on with dim witted comment but he knows he is a baby and not that popular at Kyneton. Maybe if he does fly the flag here he may get one or two people thinking he is ok!;)

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
looks like they got the slops to me , word from edfl is that no one wanted warry because of his history.. Good to see the treasurer telling people about their match payments im sure they will be happy with that.

come on KA give the young bloke a break. i also think that if someone sends you a private, you should keep it that way.
also, just wondering what your stature is at gissy??
anyone know if the zantuck rumour has grown any more legs today??
hey thats my bike
12 Jan 2007, 11:13
He didn’t mention specifics on their payments ya tool. I have been watching this forum for a long time and that is the biggest problem with you blokes. You all read between the lines and talk nonsense. Like I said, I met Rombo & Marty by accident on Wednesday night and he was more than eager to have a chat with me. They are not here to ruin the club by draining their bank account. A clubman like Leroy would not allow it to happen after all the hard work the committee has done and all the struggles the club has seen the last 4 – 5 years.

No worries JJF - I will leave it for now. How about we agree to this!
If Kyneton win 1,2,3,4,5,6 or 7 games for the year - Massina is a cat and you and Davis24 must admit it.
If Kyneton win 8 or 9 - Massina gets a pass.
If Kyneton win more - I am the cat and will post an apology.
Agree??

First of all from what I hear Rombo has not ruled out playing! We will just have to wait and see.
Also Chops you have NO idea about Warry mate! Their was plenty of interest in the EDFL before he signed with the Flat.
Unbelievable how much c rap is on here! :thumbsd:

Good to see some friendly banter guys. Can anyone tell me how Lachie Woodward went at Maryborough I think he played at CHB,CHF or in the ruck.
ka, your right about massina not being a very goodspeaker but your coach is'nt far behind him.
bahram's pre game speech at last years granny was nothing special, infact i've heard better motivational speeches at funerals.
he talks like rocky balboa(yooooo adriannn)

BREAKING NEWS!
A current bfl player that was either last years captain or is the captain for this up coming season was caught masturbating in he kids pool at the e/hawke ymca swimming complex today or y/day.
police were called.
apparently it was noticed by a parent close to the action who after realising what was happening wacked him in the back of the head to stop his gross behavour.
i know the club he plays for and its obviously a bendigo club but not e/hawke.
i'm sure it will be in the papers if the addy are on ball.
I reckon this is the most pathetic nee slanderous post I have seen on any website ever. For a start when someone challenges you 'Ablett' (if there was ever a better case of taking the Lord's name in vain...) it is not up to them to prove it, it is up to you mate - you made the allegation! So let's have a look at what you have said - one of either the South Bendigo, Sandhurst, Kangaroo Flat or Golden Square (you have slandered them too) captain/s has been caught in a paedophilic situation. If I was one of the four or five not guilty of the crime, I would be seriously looking for you pal. However, you say, one of your mates has hit him in the head but you are still not more than 99% to 200% sure (Fu*k me - 100% is it), who he is - wasn't he wearing his team jumper, beanie, scarf and number? If you are so sure of yourself - name him. Fair dinkum, I would be the first bloke to go the chin music in this situation but this post reeks of bull$hit. I am glad everyone else has ignored your post for the pus that it is - and I just wish 'Ablett' may live out his retirement in Kyabram, Cohuna or somewhere far away from the Bendigo League and his obvious frustrations.

I'm starting to understand your hatred for Kyneton now mate, obviously you were abused by the nuns or copped some serious tap-ups from the Kyneton boys. We would of taken you in over at the high school, we even had a pretty good footy side back in your day. Does anyone remember Tim Drew from SHC, was handy?

Interesting that the talk is all about the coach and his motivational speeches at quarter and three quarter time. Never in my time in footy has a coach done more than reafirm team rules and belief that we will win, even 10 goals down, we will run over the top of them. It rarely works. Coaches start work in preseason, they get us fit, they develop game plans, they try us in different positions, they try us in positions that we might win, some we may lose but ultimately the game plan is in place Thursday evening when the team is picked every one is aware of their role. Saturday team meetings reaffirm it.The work of the coach is all but finished before the ball is even bounced. If you don't believe me, have a look at Derrick Filo and how he goes about it.

TWITA goes BANG! Welcome aboard mate, I've been reading this forum for a while now. It seems like a lot of rubbish gets written by a few brainless twits. You've shown yourself to actually possess some intelligence, of which there is a great shortage around here. I'm looking forward to you articulating a few more ideas and opinions that are logical and have been well thought out. Hopefully this forum will be worth checking out again soon.
thatswhatimtalkingabout,
firstly, the reason i put it on here was because my brother has young kids and so does more neighbour whom i'm good friends with and i think what happened is a disgrace.
secondly, the person i know of who was there did'nt know of his identity b4 hand but later learned of it from police so with out being there i could not be 100% sure myself but after checking with some other sources, the same indentity keeps poping up.
thirdly, it's not for me to be revealing his name on here, the reason i posted it to mainly see if any one else iN the footy world out there had heard off it because for this to of happened maybe a month or two ago i cant believe its been keeped so quite.
so you can jump on the ,"it's bullcrap" wagon but until you also can prove i'm wrong get back into your box BAFOON!

It's Buffoon. Unfortunately you don't seem to be able read what is being said and comprehend what the person is saying. My criticism of your post is that you have narrowed the list of suspects down to so few that you have equally damaged the reputations of the other four or five blokes that are not guilty. The leaders and public faces of their footy club no less. If nothing ever comes of this in the courts - and quite often, if it does it has a suppression order attached to it - then the casual reader of this site would left wondering which of the five the culprit is. That's why we have defamation laws in this country - so that your reputation can't be destroyed by malicious gossip. Understand this quite clearly - I do not condone paedophilic behaviour in any way, shape or form whatsoever (it makes me sick to the stomach) - just a bizarre concept of being innocent until proven guilty. What do you reckon we leave this messy topic alone now and talk about footy?

Always a pretty interesting time of year, seeing who's going where and why etc. Having looked back at the last twenty or so pages of posts there seems to be a lot of people "in the know" who seem to be bagging players for being mercenaries - why they were useless at their own club and know exactly how much they are being paid at their new club.
I reckon my question, and I would like your views, is, who is at fault - if anyone - the player or the club?
See, if the player worked at a Bottle Shop after uni or his job to make a bit more coin so he could buy a house or a racehorse or whatever; you would say he was a goer.
If the Bottle Shop over the road offered him a job in management or more coin per hour, better conditions and more chance of success and he knocked it back; you would say he was a total duffer.
However if the Bottle Shop over the road identified that this bloke was possibly vital to their future profits and did not make an offer to him - that is poor business. After 3 or 4 or 5 years of poor business - you are out of business.
The analogy is poor, I know - it does not take into account loyalty and mateship and the love of the jumper, etc.
However - who is at fault - the player who takes the coin or the club that is willing to offer it?

bigboofer, gary thorn may appear to have nothing to do with the runnings at canterbury park, but you cannot deny the fact that he is the godfather of eaglehawk. everything goes through gary, and under this circumstance gary had no choice but to eject tim nicolson from the club.

Its nobody's "fault" sometimes blokes need a change to get the best out of their footy... they might find that they are getting stale at the club the have played at for years, thats fair enough and everyone understands that. Blokes might find that they are not up to the level they have been trying to play at so they leave to a lessor comp where they will enjoy their footy a little more... lets not forget thats why we play, to enjoy it.
Its the guys that put themselves up for auction year in year out that get a bad name, and i think you will find that many clubs wouldn't touch those guys because they are no good for the club. Who would want to play along side someone like that?
Thats footy though.

bigboofer, gary thorn may appear to have nothing to do with the runnings at canterbury park, but you cannot deny the fact that he is the godfather of eaglehawk. everything goes through gary, and under this circumstance gary had no choice but to eject tim nicolson from the club.
do you love tim?
im not even going to respond to the last comment in all honesty i couldnt give to hoots about eaglehawk from what i hear gary didnt have much say in the running of eaglehawk when he was pres so i dont think hed have much say now why did the new pres leave after such a short time because like before a few people were doing things behind without any info going to the committee as for nicholson good on him if he got his rocks off any way

From all reports Castlemaine seem to be recruiting well and should make the top 5. Thoughts? And who would they most likely replace?

Am i missing something here?? since when do you get kicked out of a club for sleeping with a netballer?? If that was the case then there would be alot of blokes looking for new clubs each year.............

Boys time to put an end the the nicholson debate.. Nico will be playing for Eaglehawk this year and is looking foward to a more prominent role within the senior team. He by know means got asked to leave the two blues by thorn(who really is the godfather of eaglehawk) or filo or any committe member for that fact. Also i am pleased to announce that pam will be staying on as a trainner at Eaglehawk and not leaving like first reported, which is good news because she does a great job.. Sorry to ruin your fun young gun..

I find it very unlikely Kyneton could afford a player of Peter Walsh's calibre along with the rest of the new recruits they reportedly have . Would be great for the club and league though.

Sam Young has been doing a big pre season on the 'metabolism boosters' at Bubble. If you want him this year, you can find him in any gutter in Melbourne on a Sunday morning with a sore ass, a head ache and no recollection of how he got it.
Big recruit? Please. Come back when you have someone with a pulse.

Can someone give me a run down on Ben Kick for MAryborough.... What position and how he plays.
Seen him play twice. Stood out to me on both occasions, of the younger crew in the side anyway.
Looked like a part-time on-baller, wing, forward flanker.

Definitely can play. When fit is one of Boroughs better onballers. Seems to have struggled last year a little with fitness.

I did mention it bearsboy, but my informer now tells me he's sticking put in Adelaide, will probably play SANFL with West Adelaide. His wife is a croweater and didn't like the idea of returning to Vic, and as we all know, what the wife wants she usually gets.
Players to have signed and trained are all those mentioned before xmas, Young, Cook, Scerri, Doddie (the bloke from Lancefield), Sultan (last years aboriginal all stars captain), and no players lost.

The Bendigo Advertiser and the Macedon Ranges Guardian both reported that Kyneton had signed a person from Lancefield called Nick Doddie.
That's fair enough! Where they get Doddie from?

Dodd played at Lancefield for the past two seasons. Key position forward/defender.
But in the BFL would likely take the second or third forward or defender.
Lives in Macedon and is a handy batsman too.
Always a pretty interesting time of year, seeing who's going where and why etc. Having looked back at the last twenty or so pages of posts there seems to be a lot of people "in the know" who seem to be bagging players for being mercenaries - why they were useless at their own club and know exactly how much they are being paid at their new club.
I reckon my question, and I would like your views, is, who is at fault - if anyone - the player or the club?
See, if the player worked at a Bottle Shop after uni or his job to make a bit more coin so he could buy a house or a racehorse or whatever; you would say he was a goer.
If the Bottle Shop over the road offered him a job in management or more coin per hour, better conditions and more chance of success and he knocked it back; you would say he was a total duffer.
However if the Bottle Shop over the road identified that this bloke was possibly vital to their future profits and did not make an offer to him - that is poor business. After 3 or 4 or 5 years of poor business - you are out of business.
The analogy is poor, I know - it does not take into account loyalty and mateship and the love of the jumper, etc.
However - who is at fault - the player who takes the coin or the club that is willing to offer it?
All depends
I reckon if you spend your time working in 2 or 3 bottle shops over a 10-15 year period then its ok to go to the bottle shop that offers you the best opportunities.
But if you spend that 10-15 years working for 5,6 7 and in some cases more bottle shops then you are probably in the bottle shop business for all the wrong reasons.
Aside from money and opportunity you probably want to make sure your colleagues in said bottle shop are a good bunch of blokes. A profitable business also helps enjoy your time in this bottle shop. If the owners are able to keep there end of the bargain(and we all know they sometimes dont) then they have not done anything wrong.

Notable inclusions included Mark Scerri and Sam Young. Reaper has dropped at least 10kgs
