whats going on lads. Heard nick knight has been burning it up on the track at harry trot oval for the past week or two. Sounds like he's set for a cracker jack year, wouldn't mind lookin at his odds.
Doona I reckon you might be being a bit harsh. I've been a country footy journalist in the past and it can be tough to keep track of 4 or 5 leagues at once. If i was still doing it I would log onto Big Footy constantly to see what's going on.
Without trying to sound like Matty Pillios, I'm good mates with T. Perry and I'm sure he wouldn't mind.
All the best with your (many) coaching roles
Spent 5 years in the newspaper caper meself mate, and the first thing I woulda done was at least contacted Tav or a club official to confirm it or at least say a story was being published. The Shepp News boys are also using Big Footy as a tool and theyd be mad not to but why not at least give credit to the source, whether it be a T.Perry, a C.Nolan or "as read on the best source of country football gossip bigfooty.com" . . . . thats all Im saying.
Bigger Bulldogs ready to bite back
Luke West
Saturday, 25 February 2006
THERE is a sense of unfinished business as Golden Square approaches the 2006 All Seasons Bendigo Football-Netball League season.
For all but two weeks of the home and away season last year, the Bulldogs occupied a position in the top three.
But after losing their last three games of the season, the Bulldogs fell to fourth and were subsequently beaten by South Bendigo by 45 points in the elimination final after looking near-certainties to have the double chance for the majority of the season.
It was a disappointing end to a season that had promised plenty, especially after wins over top-two sides Gisborne and Castlemaine in rounds seven and eight.
"Our last month of footy was disappointing - we lost three of the last four games and due to some key injuries, our depth was tested," Golden Square spokesman Brock Pinner said yesterday.
"We had a few injuries to key guys at that time; Aaron Hawkins was out, Mark Lloyd, Brendan Fraser and Darren Walsh (coach) were out for a few games as well, so leading into the finals, we didn't have the best preparation.
"But at the same time, we didn't have enough depth, although you can't cover that calibre of player.
"We think we've been able to recruit a bit of depth this year so if we do get one or two injuries like that, we will be able to cover it," Pinner said.
"But if you get injuries to four quality players like we did, it certainly is difficult.
"We think we were better than where we were finished last year, so we think there is unfinished business," he said.
"We've prepared ourselves well this year and we think we're ready to have a good crack at it.
"Our younger guys around the club are all a year older and have had a taste of senior football.
"We will be looking to guys like Stacey Fiske, Adrian McErvale, Matt Klien-Brettler and Brenton O'Connell to contuinue their development into solid senior players."The number one area the Bulldogs needed to address over the pre-season was height, and they appear to have done that well.
Among the new recruits who have been cleared to Country Vet Oval are Matt Tyrell (from White Hills), Luke Rosa (Warrack Eagles), Chris Bell (Wycheproof-Narraport), Jason Curtain (Bendigo Bombers), Jason Hewitt (Nullawil) and Wes Pye (Lake Boga), who all stand over six-foot tall.
"Looking back to last year we didn't have enough tall blokes to match up against some taller oppositions, who regulary had several guys over six-foot three," Pinner said.
"Our major focus for our recruiting has been getting a bit more height and adding a bit more depth, and we're very happy with what we've been able to come up with.
"The addition of Chris Martens from Port MacQuarie should also add a bit to our midfield."Walsh is embarking on his third year at the helm of the Bulldogs, while Phillip Walsh will coach the reserves and Jamie Hogan the under-18s.
The Bulldogs have a tough first-up assignment when they host reigning premier Gisborne on Saturday, April 15. Golden Square was the only team to beat Gisborne last year.

Doona - I'm in the legal game. For someone who likes to have a crack at journos for not revealing sources, I hope you've got the green light from the Advertiser to post their footy stories on this website.
As for Port Adelaide, it's still cricket season. P. Burgoyne went okay though.

Me and everyone else Gareth!!! Mate every news item I post onto Big Footy always has the publication and if possible the journalist to give them added exposure outside their readership area.
Didnt mean to have a crack if thats the way you read into it, would just like to see this wonderful website grow and get a bit of a pump up thru the media outlets.

I too publish newspaper articles on our club website. Am I wrong in thinking that acknowledgement of source, date and author is sufficient recognition for legal purposes?

I have been following the transfers pretty closely and it always seems to be interesting that clubs reject players wishes to play at another club. Obviously they would like them to stay at their club and say that they are required players but if the player does not want to play there is there any point trying to hang on to them? Wouldn't it be better long term to work the problem out verbally and even if it is reluctantly, clear them so they might return in the future.

I didn't mean to scare you, Charlie.
I wouldn't think the newspapers will take any action, but for your own benefit it would be nice to have something in writing in case something happens down the track.
No fee for the legal advice.
If any of you guys are in Ballarat can you give me an update on Contessa at North City.
I wouldn't mind having a crack with Pickles on Contessa for the Michelsen.

You beauty my fellow Big Footy forumer. There is being no tongue in cheek there at all mate, that's honestly what I think. There already is a flag market that has been posted on previous pages that you can have a punt on. If you would like to throw in some multiples, i'm prepared to offer a market on that. who would you back in that goalkicking market my fellow follower of football.

My apologies oldmate. Due to my excitement of being a new member i didn't read the full quote and missed that it was the goalkicking not the michelson. Keep up the great work you seem to know most players in the BFL. My money would be with yours, Beattie?

Apology accepted my friend, no hard feelings. I'm glad to see you have joined the Big Footy family. I have left Steven Reaper off the list because according to a report in this morning's paper, it's unlikely he will pull the boots on for kyneton. And if he does happen to play, i don't think he would be abe to play enough games because of his roles with the VCFL to be a serious challenger for the goalkicking medal. but we all know how good a player he is, so you never know. my reasons for selecting beattie at the top is that he is they key focal point up forward in what i believe is going to be a very good south bendigo outfit this year. there is going to be a lot of ball going into the bloods attacking 50 this year and i get the feeling beattie is going to be on the end of a lot of them. he showed last year he is capable of kicking big bags of goals, and i think there's going to be more of it this year. How about we get some forumers to toss up some ideas on who they may think could be some of the leading contenders for the rising star award this year. adam pokrvosky is probably out of contention, but from what i hear from down gisborne way, is absolutely flying on the track at the moment. i'm going toi bring him into $24 on my michelsen medal market. my preferred multiples at this stage of the season are gisborne for the flag into kain robins for the michelsen medal into luke beattie for the ron best medal at odds of $14, which presents reasonable value.
Whats the word on Matt O'tooles bro..Luke joining him this season ?? if not where is he lining up for 06'
What is Reaper's role with the VCFL?
Picklesmeoldmate
28 Feb 2006, 16:45
What is Reaper's role with the VCFL?
The paper said he is tied up with the VCFL selection committee for the team to play in the country championships. i guess that means he has to spend a lot of weekends going to various venues and keping an eye on the players who are travelling well. it's a pity we probably won't see him because he is a great player that i enjoyed watching. if he was playing, he would be about $1.90 for the ron best medal.

Big Bundy Reaper is an accountant by profession as I understand it, but he's obviously studying after hours to get higher quals.
Newspaper article said today he's also building a house -- or having one built, more like it.
He's employed by the VCFL. Also a selector for the VCFL team which will contest this year's Aussie country footie titles on the Gold Coast in July.
So he'll have to attend each of the 4 inter-league carnivals this year: most of May and early June.
Never know, could be a gun player going around in the Div. 4 titles in the Yarra Valley who the selectors can slot into the Big V side.
Reaps booted 37 goals for Kyneton last year after resuming from retirement (September 2004). Came back agst. Maryboro in Round 8, 2005.

I'd definitely chuck some money on Jake Matthews at $66 if he was still playing. I'll have $50 on Luke Saunders at good odds and I know he's not there so we'll just say you've got him on heaps, so I'll have $200 on Matty Fitzgerald of Gisborne

I'll give you $25 for that multiple spoke. I can't see Fitzgerald winning the Michelsen Medal this year, so that's what blows those odds out a bit. He is a good player though and he will kick 50 + goals this year, but don't know if he will poll enough votes. I admit mistakes when I make them, and yes, I had jake Matthews in the ron best medal betting when he is obviously playing with the bombers. wayne eve is at $30 because there obviously has to be questions about him playing enough games to win the medal. that's my reasoning behind that.

I know a bit about Pye for Golden Square. Big strong player. Similar to Tony Plim with a lot more talent, is the perfect addition to the doggies line up. They will have to be a chance this year.
What about Dillon Anderson for the Michelson, if not then Rudy Hawkins would be my next choice.

Geez you've given Wes Pye a bit of a rap there nesty!!! T Plim has been the premier ruckman in the district for the past decade.
As for Dillon Anderson he's been down for a few years through injury & form and i have no doubt he can return to the form which saw him make the VCFL squad in 2002. I think he's currently getting over a stress fracture in his foot.
As for Aaron Hawkins he had a steller 2005 and was a roughie for last years Michelson.....apparently he's been flying on the track and is looking forward to just enjoying his footy after having a stint as Ass Coach.....
Good bet.

A lot of people say that high money recruits are the only way to succeed.Thats correct,but too many of these "blow ins" know that theyre only in town for a season or two so they absolutely rape the clubs.
Generalising they also;
Dont train in melb
Play ,shower,pay envelope, home.
When they stay overnight,they either muck up or cheat on their teammates missuses as they have no respect for the local culture
Paypacket is generally same size as ego
Have many bad debts towards the end of the season
Bring unruly "drinking buddies" up in the car with them
Big mouth about their wages,causing player unrest amongst club doyens.
These are some negatives,i know the positives,how bout some comment or examples of this type of side effect of the "gun recruit"[/quote]

According to my Golden Square man your barking up the wrong tree Nesty.
After passing on your thoughts I received the following mail from him
`Wes Pye wouldn't hold a candle to Tony Plim'
`Dillon Anderson has as much hope of winning the Michelsen as Danny Ellis'
Now if my memory serves me correctly I used to play against Danny Ellis years ago and as much as he used to kick a few sausage rolls in his day he'd struggle to pull a few votes in 2006.
Aside from that Nesty the word out of my Wade Street spy is that your boys are going okay but apart from Bovalino (I think that's his name) they might lack a little bit in the hard ball gets department.
My spy reckons there's a few too many outside players at Square these days.

Was it ever true or just exaggerated hype amongst rival clubs that he was on about $800 when at Elmore a few years ago?
Interested to hear if Chris Malone from Golden Square is a standout player in the BFL?
Kick it To Me/:
Your club has obviously had some bad recruits through in the last few years. It's up to the club to screen the recruits not only about their football, but their personality and values, to see if they'll fit into the club culture. Recruits can be the answer, but only if they fit in to the culture of the club, otherwise you can end up paying guys who are detrimental to the club.
Our club has several city guys come and play, and they train in the city together, so they know who is and isn't showing up, and when the club has functions, they're the first to put the majority of their pay packed back over the bar.
A club should always ensure that recruits will fit in, and then they can add a lot to the club both on and off the field.

pickles lets not rule out myself the weed in these online betting schemes. everyone knows that i am as firey as the next person and i am comfortable with you having me at $15. i know i was recently given a set penalty suspension from this website a couple of weeks ago for a minor indiscretion but all i wish to say is don't rule out the "WEED" and $15 is a good bet. thank you all for your time.

Jus thought you were rating him a bit high. And considering no one ever really talks about him I thought this was strange to have him so high. How old is he?

Makes sense the Mark Fitzgerald-Elmore possibility.
B4 he went to WA for a year, Fitzy used to be head barman or similar at the refurbished Bridge Hotel in Bendigo (wot used to be the Waterloo, just down from the Sports Centre).
Guess who was the front man for the syndicate which ran the upmarket new boozer.
Yep, Bluey Southcombe -- Elmore's 2006 coach -- that's who !!
Rhan i think just by looking at Beattie that he could be 30 odd? Been around a while.

the new recruit for south Nick knight has been seen lurking near stables out at the Bendigo Racetrack. Maybe young Knight wants to get his own back and serve up some of his renowned pusishment hes set to deliver on the field this year a bit early. Moves include a explosive left hook that he mastered from ROCKY on the PS2.

I always thought ex-Eaglehawkian Kurt McGlynn looked older then he was. Luke Beattie is definitely a good one. But we all seem to have forgotten the coach, the best Youngy-looking-Oldie, Mr South………………Mr Danny O’Bree.
Poor O’Bree is 24yrs old (I think) and the poor bloke looks like he’s 31 and should be married with kids. Do we think O’Bree maybe should follow in his twin Brent Guerra’s footsteps and do the Tony Lockett and go to ‘Advanced Hair..yeh yeh’?
Danny O’Bree is definitely the BFL’s best Man-Child

how are south looking for 06. is it true that dawson is called the king cus he is good at footy?? or is it for the other reason?? who is training the house down at south??
Is this what this website has reverted to?
Gutless ordinary footballers hiding behind alias names intent on bagging people. Footballers of the calibre of Danny O'Bree shouldn't be subjected to this crap.
If you want to have a crack at someone Mountain Boy at least have the guts to use your real name!
Because I'd be willing to be bet my balls you wouldn't blow wind up O'Bree as a footballer and that is what this website is about - Football!!

Settle down love. O'Bree is an awesome footy player, definitely, but so's Fraser Gehrig and he'd cop sh*t everyday.
O'Bree or any other local footballers will never read the crap we write on here so just feel sorry for Fraser Gehrig.

I think the general look on Gissy is that they'll be one of the top teams as usual but will be given a run for their money. In my opinion Matty Fitz will be great for the club and don't think Gissy are done recruiting yet, I know a few young fellas they're about to pick up.

The Dons Hawks game should be good, club says Crawf is a 50/50 chance, I'd say thats probably not. But should be a good game, Hawks should get up and hopefully I'll be getting along to watch them, just don't want to go if its gonna be packed and think it probably will. Anyone on here going?

Jordan Barham is a 6 ft 5 CHF, Travvy. Can also ruck a bit. Gone to VFL club Werribee for 06.
J. Barham is bro. of senior coach Marcus Barham who took over from Mick McGuane at Gisborne for the 2005 season .... and of course Gissy won the flag last Sept.
Ty Elliott is a pacy wingman. Won the Nalder Medal as BOG in the grand final last season so he goes alright. And I understand he's committed to 1 more year at Gis.
Dave Power has his clearance application in to come back to Gis. from EDFL, so he will help strengthen the backline.

Jordan Barham went to werribee in the vfl to play under the axe - simon atkins. Ty Elliott is playing on for another season. There is a chance he was going to pull up stumps after last year's grand final win.
Classy player who moves so well and is a good disposal.
I will be going along to the game on friday night for a look at the two sides. pity its not the mighty fremantle dockers playing, but we're still on the big stage in the nab cup against geelong on friday night.

North City to finish just outside the Top 5. Castlemaine to finish 7th, then Kyneton, Maryboro and the Flat.
Reaper to play a handful of games for Kyneton after his VCFL inter-league commitments in May and early June have been concluded ... but then to miss another couple when the VCFL v Vic. Amateurs match rolls around (the lead-up and maybe the week straight after).
Maine to fight hard to retain Leigh Rees and South to get involved in some huge raffle selling and other fundraising ventures to pay for what looks like being a virtually brand new side !

:thumbsu: You make some valid points there jock _ do you mind if i call you strap. although i have eaglehawk finishing above golden square in third position. think fifth spot will be fought out between sandhurst and north city. and you never know what north city will be like do you. if reaper plays a few games, it certainly increases kyneton's chances of tasting a couple of victories this season. Gisborne to start favourite though without question, while the flat would be the favourite to take the spoon, like you say strap.

I heard the senior squad has been training with less than 20! Plenty of clearances from Kyneton seem to be going in to the league. I wouldn't mind a wager on them for this year's spoon.

Spoker, that double might be surprisingly short. wobble did tee off the other day didn't he, and from the outside, there are a lot of players leaving kyneton isn't there. The odds for that double with Punt with the Pickle are $4.20. You interested?

what do we think of the prize money up for grabs in the lightning premiership. do we think the $2000 up for grabs for the winner will be a bit of extra incentive for the teams to perhaps field stronger sides for it.
