What's happening in the Bendigo Football League

[zakster]

didnt matter wot pool u were in
the rules and regs sed 2 best performed teams on the day made the grannie
south had pretty handy side on the park in the grannie ... coburn, big john, bergin, dan frew, childs, shadbolt, sullivan, dawson, j burke, s. beattie, tasca, new recruit eddy dickins
dont think anywun could say it was a ressies outfit
dekka filo gave inspirational after match speech in boro clubrooms after his side had snaffled the bgo bank cup and milroy had won b.o.g. medal
must have gone downhill quick, eh tibbsey ??

[bearsboy]

Any chance of you making your mind up about Kynetons immediate future Bolger?:confused:Ill help Hank out here .

Kyneton are an absolute joke . They may beat Nth City and Maryborough.

[matt_nicholls]

Anyone think that its unusual that Jarrod Plowman has gone overseas and we have heard nothing from Jumping Jack Flash????

[Norfolk & Clew]

Kyenton are shit so are kangaroo flat wouldnt even beat a good loddon valley side. gisbourne are a power house, how about some team put there hand up and challenge them they laugh when they come to bendigo its a wallk in the park

Gisborne were looking very worried while playing against square. Mark Adamson gave Marcus Barham a football lesson as well. To think that square still have Matt O'Toole, Jeff Brennan and a few others to come into the side (can't remember who else), I can't wait to see the two clubs go at it during the season.

I'll be one of many people, very happy to see Gisborne finally get a hiding

Well said...

[pigmy]

Kyneton has lots of work to do, they were beaten by Whittlesea in a praccy (at home) last week and didnt have many missing i'm told.

I believe Riddells Creek beat Whittlesea a couple of weeks ago.

whittlesea should win div 2 flag this year and beat riddels creek by 2 goals.

kynenton wont go far i think

You may need to join Jumping Jack Flash overseas for a couple of years before you may finally get your wish.

Heard Cannard played on the weekend - a few of the Bendigo boys get very twitchy when his name is mentioned. Is he palying BB?

Also BB - Nicky Luscott's sister - Haley is on Big Brother - will be very happy if she showers nude - she is ****ing hot!

I can imagine you sitting there tweaking your little pin watching a housemate shower nude!!

What a fat loser! but i guess at least that way you don't feel rejected!

I may only have to wait until square play's them again. Did you see the game mate? It is going to be a fantastic game the next time the two teams play and I for one can't wait to see it!

Why is that mate?In what way did they looked worried, were they scared, intimidated ?

[Norfolk & Clew]

In what way did they looked worried, were they scared, intimidated ?

Good point, i might have just got a tad excited!! I tend to do that. They still had a dip so i will take it back that they were looking worried, i was probably just noticing how much more physical square was and just excited by how square played. Apart from the 8 or so 50 metre penalties.

My bad for going overboard.

Lets not forget Gisborne still did win the game with a fair bit of quality missing .

Yeah i know. Who'd they have missing?

Square cost themselves a bit with the 50's given away.

[KingRich]

Square were great until they got the ball to half forward. They bombed away so many times and generally to nothing or the small guy with a helmet on (who played well but cant be expected to compete in the air). Does Square have any forwards to come in?

Mat O'toole did'nt play neither did D.Walsh and there as good as any forwards going around.

[KingRich]

Sounds like Norfolk has got a little excited again , stating Adamson (CHF)gave Barham a football lesson .

I will slightly correct myself and say Adamson was good. I remember checking in the program a couple of times to confirm who he was and apparently is the new ass coach?? He did play quite well but other than him there forward line wasn't very productive I didn't think.

[thatswhatimtalkinabout]

Yea i could.
Even though teams were undefeated they were in the same pool. This is why Kyneton made it through. Im not quite sure what happened witht them leaving early without them clarifying whether or not they did make the grand final.
Although Kyneton should've played off in the grand final, they played some sides that had basically their reserves in. Kyneton in for another long year.

Thanks Bolger for the vote of confidence - the longer the year, the more finals we are playing. :D :D :D

[Courageunderfire]

Thanks Bolger for the vote of confidence - the longer the year, the more finals we are playing. :D :D :D


I must say in the wake of your optimism TWITA i hope the year doesnt end! Great work again Bolger:o

[Norfolk & Clew]

Not overly excited BB, definitely in the first half of the game Barham could do nothing on him. He will be a very handy pick up for square. Just what I saw, honest opinion.. maybe biased...

Anyway what happened yesterday? Wasn't there a game on?

[matt_nicholls]

Anyway what happened yesterday? Wasn't there a game on?

Castlemaine won by 30 odd points.

Ty Zantuck booted six majors (five in the first two terms) from full-forward, but was well blanketed in the second half.

How'd his brother fare? Did Rombotis play?

[matt_nicholls]

Thanks mate

How'd his brother fare? Did Rombotis play?

His brother was a front runner and didn't do much.

Rombotis started on the bench, before playing limited roles in the midfield and forward line. Will be okay for the Roos this year.

So long as they are more competitive it will make it more interesting which will be good.

Thanks for the info:thumbsu:

[Jock Clark 2]

NORFOLK --- to give Trent Zantuck his due, he was suffering from a bit of a groin strain so wasn't 100 per cent.
Ty Zantuck took a bit of a run on the ball in the 3rd and was very handy. Marty Warry was extremely ordinary and looks like he could lose a fair bit of pudden.
Caveman will be devastated. After pacing it with the Maggies for the 1st half, the Roo field kicking in the 3rd quarter was atrocious.
Time and time again they kicked the ball into the forward line --- straight to a Maine defender. But cuppla young blokes looked OPK -- Daniel manning and Jarryd Wiegard.

Thanks for the mention Jock! Yes I was at the game and I totally agree that our field kicking let us down. In no way am I devaststed though. It is very early days and it is a new beginning for the club. We have had a huge turnover of players and we will only get better as the weeks go on!

Go ROOERS! :thumbsu:

[Kings Army]

My early season odds had Square as favourites but after talking to a major sponsor on the weekend I am definately off the Square. Not sure he knew I was the Army but said GS could not win this years flag with Walsh and Hawkins at the club. I thought this was a massive call and totally unexpected.

These 2 could be under a lot of pressue come mid season if GS's results are not as good as they hoped.

[PINNACLE HEALTH]

I't always amaze's how people can make predictions this time of year based on practise matches.
Firstly, no club plays their best side and anyone with half a footy brain realises that even with only one key senior player out , that can make a big difference to a sides game plan or balance.
Secondly the tempo of a practise match is well below a home and away game and then finals tempo is another level again.

After round 10 then maybe people can start jumping to conclusions but after round 18 should give you a better indication and then anything can happen in finals as we all know.

So people riding of sides at this time of year need to be careful you don't end up with egg on your face.

[The Talking Goat]

Castlemaine Will Be All Right This Year. Prickles Martin Very Good Player.

[Mobbenfuhrer]

On the "predictions so early" point, I presume most people who make the big calls so early know pretty well that they may end up with egg on their faces.

Sure, its going out on a limb, but that's what a prediction is! I wouldn't have much credibility prophesising (sp?) the final ladder after the season's finished, would I?

While it can be a bit silly making big calls early, if those who do make those calls are here posting right through the season, there's a bit of gumption there, as well :)

That's me thoughts on it, anyways. Carry on ...

I disagree, losing these players would servely dent the chances of square taking home the flag. Can't understand how having good players in the team is bad?

[Tigerland07]

Can anyone tell me how Chris Johns goes as a footballer? I believe he played for South Bendigo. He has come to our club (Werribee Amateurs) this year.

That certain Major Sponsor might wanna keep quiet I reckon. Loose lips sinks ships don't they

[bearsboy]

That certain Major Sponsor might wanna keep quiet I reckon. Loose lips sinks ships don't they! (wouldn't wanna jeopardise his/her relationship with such a club) My mail is that the recently married Hawk is very fit and rarin' to go. I'm told he will be batching it for most of the season as his Mrs has moved to the US for work for most of footy season, will have plenty of time to cencentrate on footy. Great bloke, great player, and will play a big role in Squares attempt to win a GF again.
As I have also said before, with no Coaching responsibilities on his back, Woosha will carve, mark my words! I reckon Walsh and Hawkins are both overdue, 2 of the most overated players in the league IMO. What has D.Walsh ever done in the Bendigo league ?

This may seem harsh but its only my opinion !

[howzat]

You must be a good player Bears Boy!

[bearsboy]

You must be a good player Bears Boy!No mate, pretty average actually .

Neither of these two have done much against Gisborne in the past .
Walsh (cant coach) was lucky enough to snag a few by hangin out the back in the granny last year (in time on in the last quarter).

Dont get me wrong they're both handy players, but they are not the superstars they are made out to be .

[sculls_6]

wat r peoples thoughts on the sandhurst v north city game tomoz? to most would look like a mis match, but north city hav put together by far there strongest line up in there short history, so much improvement is on the cards this year

[Mobbenfuhrer]

Hey who's North City? Is that a new club?

[fifth quarter]

c'mon mobbsie
wot r u on :confused: :confused:
this is North City's 2nd season in the bendigo league
its the old north ballarat junior f.c. the entity wasn't accepted into the ballarat f.l. in nov-dec 05 so they applied both to bendigo and geelong f. leagues for acceptance

bendigo accepted them and they played throughout 2006, winning NO senior games
not surprising but their under-18s went prety well
lack of senior grade success not a surprise really as their oldest player was prolly only about 23-24 they got a few former NBJFC players back from places such as daylesford, central highlands etc .... but it was pretty hard to get their ex footballers, now senior players in their 20s, back into the fold

[sculls_6]

sandhurst beat city by about 15 goals.... promising signs by north in the first qtr, dominating play but failing to convert with roughly 2.8 to there name, after that sandhurst dominated the rest of the game

[pentium1111]

hey, new to big footy. Bendigo league follower - what's everyones thoughts on first round next weekend.

[thatswhatimtalkinabout]

hey, new to big footy. Bendigo league follower - what's everyones thoughts on first round next weekend.

All right, i'll have a go.

Golden Square: Major step up this year in they have a ruckman and a bloke who can coach. Have also improved in the clinches and are the team to beat.

Gisborne: Awesome team over the last five years, strong all over the park. Haven't recruited many big names, confident in the progression of the youngsters. Equal favorites.

South Bendigo: South are always there and about and can't ever be underestimated. Have lost some quality players but also picked up quality. Would think they will play finals.

Sandhurst: Sandhurst can be a year to year proposition as they usually pick the crop of the Bendigo Junior League. That combined with some very good senior players can provide you with the chocy's or some hard boiled lollies.

Eaglehawk: Should be playing SuperRules apparently, the list is that old. Nah, they honestly looked the best side in Bendigo Footy for probably half the season last year. Failed in the finals. The man with the big lips would be making a big effort in his last year.

Kyneton: Last year in Nev's contract and god knows what sort of car he got for it, but he has recruited pretty well by the looks. Brett Cook back and some absolute jets around the park. Needless to say, questions asked if not finals material.

Castlemaine: Dark horse, always seems to just do enough to sneak under everyone's radar and all of a sudden you are at the Camp and 8 goals down. Not to be underestimated.

Kangaroo Flat: Boom side. Four ex-AFL players so four wins, against Maryborough and North City x 2. Rebuilding after exodus of players.

Maryborough: Still rebuilding after Nev's last car. How did you fellows go through that much tape? Seriously, a few senior players have gone back to the MCFDL but the addition of Bond and some good young kids will not make them the pushover that some believe.

North City: An unknown quantity. May be uncompetitive like last year. If that is the case; enjoy it while you can. Will be seriously competitive within 2 years.

Very very harsh bearsboy on both these blokes.

D walsh was in Squares best 2 players grand final day, on a day when there forwards struggled he stood up as good coaches do. 5 goals in a losing side is a good effort.
I'm a little bit confused how a bloke at full forward can actually "hang out the back" as you put it???? From my memory he kicked most of his goals from 1 on 1 contests mainly against Your coach.

A Hawkins had a bad Grand Final but he wasn't on his own, and i remember a day in Gisborne a few years ago where he had a blinder 40 odd touches ....tagged and all. If he gets another chance on the big stage it won't happen again.

I dont suppose you've watched the Grand final again Max ? Walsh does enjoy hanging out, no doubt about that !

[pentium1111]

Think your being a bit harsh Bearsboy. Both players have some ability. Maybe their consistancy could be questioned. I think every team has players like them - you need to have a mix of all sorts. In and under ball winners and aswell as ball users

[pentium1111]

Great wrap up. Think your spot on with most teams. Who do you think are the most intimidating teams in the BFL and why?

[pentium1111]

Sorry fellas still learning the system. I was commenting on TWITA's wrap of of the season.

how did c/main an the flat go on anzac, did teh flat stand up an play some good foot or were they still no good

Think your being a bit harsh Bearsboy. Both players have some ability. Maybe their consistancy could be questioned. I think every team has players like them - you need to have a mix of all sorts. In and under ball winners and aswell as ball usersI clearly stated both blokes could play. I'm just saying they are not the superstars they are made out to be and that may have something to do with the inconsistancy you mention .
Which part of "my opinion" dont you Golden Square morons understand ? In the games i have seen against Gisborne neither of these blokes have impressed me at all . It is general knowledge in the BFL that Walsh was an ordinary coach, Golden Square people have admitted this.

Thats why this thread is F u c k ed , Half a bad word about anyone up your way and you bunch of p oofs start crying .

How is my old mate Ross Brodie travelling down there in Gisborne town Bear???

[pentium1111]

Not crying BB. I too have thought at times they may be over rated but I have seen them perform well on occasions. Havent really ever seen them dominate a game. Would say Griffo would be a much bigger asset.
The way Gisborne have played over the last 5 years you would struggle to see any opposition player dominate against them, that however doesnt mean they cant play. Fair call?

Mate, I couldn't agree more. Blokes who perform well in finals are always remembered as good players - and so they should be. Those who don't have to live with the stigma of failing under pressure. Tough call but I don't think that will ever change. You often see blokes dominate when their side is smashing a team but the same bloke can't find it when they are the ones under the pump. Good way to judge a blokes football character.

I'm not bagging either player, just making comments on what i have seen over the years especialy when they have played against Gisborne.

I actually believe most followers of the BFL would agree with what i've posted.

I don't agree mate but thats your opinion, Woosha has had alot of niggling injuries and if he gets his body right i know he will be great for us up forward with Tooley and Stace Fiske.

In my opinion I think Hawk is sometimes under-rated, alot of blokes bag him and remember someone here last year calling him a sheepdog who just roves the packs. I think this is just a tag that has been put on him and he may not chuck his body in like a Clayton Anderson but he has red hot crack and never leaves the team down.

My opinion

[RapidSicBo]

Champion bloke Rosco, but hasnt been sited since presentation night . Must be spending all his time in the gym working on that physique . :thumbsu:

any early betting for the michelson medal boys???

any early betting for the michelson medal boys???
Early michelson lucke saunders at $3.5o, mark fitzgerald and kain robins at $4.50, and jason griffin ian martin and shane davis at $8.00. but the best bet would me the big train matt gretrix at$15 bucks looks the goods and jock clark called it 2 months ago out the front of the match!

[b birmingham]

Just wondering what you Gisborne boys thoughts are on "Big Duff"
I think with a promising young ruckman like Belcher playing well these days, where are you going to hide the big fella?
He's too big and slow and if he plays deep in the forward line, good sides will run off him all day.
Should he think about pulling the pin?
His best footy is well behind him

[fifth quarter]

mich. medal odds --- wot about n. gilliland of the hurst and j. burke of the bloods

qeo was passed at 5 oclock tonite boys for the south-sandhurst match on saturday bfl ceo and blood and dragon presidents inspected the surface

jock clark wont have to shout the mich medal odds out the front of the match he could mention them while hes calling saturdays game

Castlemaine $4.50 v Gisborne $1.20

Those odds look pretty spot on. I reckon I would be all over Kyneton at $1.60 to roll Marybrough looks the bet of the round I think.

Kyneton to beat Burra would easily be the best bet of the round. They should account for them easily! I think the Maine will be quite competitve against Gisborne also and may surprise a few!

Michelson medal : What odds could i get on Brad Else?

[bearsboy]

Just wondering what you Gisborne boys thoughts are on "Big Duff"
I think with a promising young ruckman like Belcher playing well these days, where are you going to hide the big fella?
He's too big and slow and if he plays deep in the forward line, good sides will run off him all day.
Should he think about pulling the pin?
His best footy is well behind himDuff was awarded best player in finals last year, coming off a major achilles injury. In tandem with Belcher, i'm sure the big fella still has plenty to offer dont worry about that .

[bearsboy]

It would be good to see a market for the Michelson .
Interested to see where Ty Zantuck will fit in. My tip is N.Gilliland, by all reports "absolute jet"

[Norfolk & Clew]

mich. medal odds --- wot about n. gilliland of the hurst and j. burke of the bloods

qeo was passed at 5 oclock tonite boys for the south-sandhurst match on saturday bfl ceo and blood and dragon presidents inspected the surface

jock clark wont have to shout the mich medal odds out the front of the match he could mention them while hes calling saturdays game

Is J. Burke that bloke who wears number 2? If so, he looks handy but not a Michelsen chance, that's my thoughts from only seeing him play a few times.

[andypipkin]

what odds seamus young?? starred before he got injured mid last year.

yeah big enough to have a run in the ruck, but i think he plays his best footy at chf or chb, will make a few of the opposition earn their kicks. but i havnt seen the big fella play for a while know

Keep your eye out for a bloke called Fungston from the tigers. Gritty in and under type, no fuss and doesnt take a backward step. From Warnambool way, not sure if he will grab the attention of umpires but may grab the attention of opposition coaches. Any other tiger players you boys see as dangerous

As ive said before with Eve, Reaper and Tait it looks to be a very handy forward line for the Tigers .

[B.O.G]

dont count young dildo out of pulling on the beloved magpies strip just yet

[Fists of Rage]

I don't agree mate but thats your opinion, Woosha has had alot of niggling injuries and if he gets his body right i know he will be great for us up forward with Tooley and Stace Fiske.

In my opinion I think Hawk is sometimes under-rated, alot of blokes bag him and remember someone here last year calling him a sheepdog who just roves the packs. I think this is just a tag that has been put on him and he may not chuck his body in like a Clayton Anderson but he has red hot crack and never leaves the team down.

My opinion

Is stace male or female?

[Kings Army]

Very quiet leading into the first game. Where has Final Word gone? Surely he has not gone missing like Walsh or Hawkins in the big games. Maybe there is a connection there?

Sould be a good season with the easy beats in Kyneton and the Flat improving. It is wide open this year with Gissy, GS, Sth Bendigo, Sandhurst and Eaglehawk all having a legitimate claim for this years flag.

[Norfolk & Clew]

Is stace male or female?

Female mate

[pentium1111]

In my opinion Gisborne must go into season early favourites, my reason is on depth alone. For the last five years they have fielded sides that are even across the board. Havent had a good look at the bendigo sides yet however did see a little of south, think they will shape the 5. Hopefully Kyneton can get some momentum early in the season and have a crack at the . Would be great to see the Tigers winning again and getting the club back to where it should be. Looking forward to tomorrow and hearing some results. Good Luck to anyone playing.

[zakster]

bak to the drawing board bloods boys
only booted a handful of goals and hurst smashed ur lot
ruedin kicked half a doz. snag rolls 4 the dragons
kyneton boys might not be as good as tipped earlier on
maryboro won at p park and if tiges going to be any good would have to win that one
maine very competitive against gissie
two blueboys smashed flat at canterbury park

[bearsboy]

The best players on the BFL website for the Gisborne v Castlemaine have been entered the wrong way round (both teams).

Luke Saunders best on by a mile followed by J.Duff-Tytler (b birmingham please take note).

Not a bad unit Castlemaine, had a real crack all day .
