View Full Version : What's happening in the Bendigo Football League

Yeah, neither does PEST... just some joker posting rubbish hoping for a reaction.
JOCK - I concur with your prediction. The Hurst had an upset against North, but it was just the kick up the backside they needed to focus on the job at hand...
It's happned before - eg. Essendon in 2000 losing to Bulldogs 2 weeks before the finals and more recently, Geelong ending its unbeaten run against Port 2 weeks before the finals. That's footy!
Doc Doc Doc Doc Doc..... You can do better than that cant you, what a stupid example!!! The point you made above about Hurth losing to the mediocre North giving them the kick they need is vaild. But to back it up with an example of 2nd in the AFL beating 1st........ It is no where near the same as Hurst losing to a Mediocre North! I'll let this one slide. ;-)

He did lose the plot, not good to see. Just couldn't handle the heat.
Anyway it was a good win that we will take and the two's competition is really open to nearly any team in the top 5 at the moment.
Yes N & C , you are spot on. As a player, you would have to agree, that both teams were more or less bewildered by what happened.
Question ?? How long is the Square going to allow, the one loud foul mouth drunken supporter, spoil the game for others who choose to attend.
Blue ute is the clue....you will know the slob!

Don't know the car and the owner you are referring to mate, probably have someone in mind but can't be sure that he is the bloke you have in mind.
No one was completely out of hand from what i saw.

This moron has been scaring the shite out of women and kids at the local footy for years . When square were up by 4 or 5 goals, he decided to position himself right behind the Gisborne coaches box and yell foul mouth abuse for all to hear. (he soon disapeared when Gisborne hit the front).

N & C The guy is late 50 ish, wears glasses, and does not use the public toilets. The same guy has targeted several Gissy players ( one in particular) for many years. Everyone finds their own level in life, the guy is a low life! It actually works against your club, in the fact that the bloke he has targeted for 5 years, just goes harder at the contest, and whose last quarter, on Saturday, helped turn the game around. Cheers...no more from myself ....on this one!

You don't get it do ya?? Geelong won 15 straight and lost a game 2 weeks before the finals... Doesn't matter who the opponent was, but it was enough for the Cats to reassess and concentrate on what needs to be done to win the big games of footy (such as finals). As quoted by Bomber Thompson on tonights news.
Perfect example.
p.s. North are not such a bad side. They only lost to South by 9 points a few weeks ago and have won 5 games for the year. They're improving.

ROUND 22 in the BFL, boys.
My selections will be, Saturday: 1/. Gisborne over Hawks by 48 (will both clubs field full sides or give a few a rest ??)
2/. Maryborough to see off Thommo in style and down Flat by 24
3/. Sandhurst to make absolutely certain of third spot and belt Kyneton by 51 points. Did you know Kyneton hasn't won on the Q -- home and away OR finals -- since we had proper, winter rain.
4/. Square to squeak home over the Maine at the Camp by 17 points. Real danger game for Joffa and his boys.
SUNDAY: South to account for North Ballarat City by 33 points.

I reckon that this game will be alot closer more like 10 points to south. This could be another upset for the northies. North Ballarat's twos are not playing this week and will only strengthen there side.

I think most clubs probably have a "mascot" in the crowd, Kyneton had an aboriginal fella that was a bit of a nut case but i havent seen him for a while. Gisborne had one for a few years but he left this year to go and coach the Sunbury 2's :D
Any chance the Goat (or anyone else) could come up with some odds for the Michelson ? :thumbsu:

1 V 2 more like 1 V 10. With scores level at half time I thought Gissy had a games on there hands. To win by 90+ points is amazing. The olds dads army were going up and down on the spot in the last quarter as Gissy kicked 11 goals 7 points to 2 points.
Can Eaglehawk recover from this?

I wouldnt think so. They were disgraceful in 2nd half, almost non-competitive. Soft, petulant & undisciplined. How Derek allows blokes like N Heath to give away so many undisciplined free kicks is beyond me. Surely a bloke of his age & experience should be setting a good example of how to react when behind not the opposite.
Are sportsbet still offering $2 about Gisborne? If so i advise all and sundry to go and plonk your super on them for next 4 weeks. Much safer bet than the ASX.

square pretty ordinary down at castlmaine from all reports
they were down at 1/2 time and only 5 pts up at 3/4 time admittedly kicked five goals to 1 in the last but not too flash a hitout with kayo final versus south coming up
might be a bit slow the square boys and desparately need tooly back at full-f

Now there is a bloke that has played 3 years to many. Throwing hay makers at Duff Tyler while 80 points down was embarrassing. Sandhurst will be to quick next week.

South v Square seniors Sunday afternoon, normal start time, 2.15 pm
Goat might be a Mumbling Herbivore this week, not a Talking, walking one. Very sad after Old Sheeds and Hirdy's MCG farewell (and loss) to the Tigers. Then xtra sad again when the identical duo bowed out at Subi. Another loss there, too.
south to beat square on sundy the blue and gold boys very slow and if they took all day to beat the main surely they wont beat the bloods
in the sat twilite game i will go for shurst to win eaglehwk older boys mite be finding the seson just a bit too long 4 them plus they could be chasing 3 or 4 pios players the hurst brings in

There were a couple by Gisborne in '02 vs Square, at Gardiner Reserve (think Square kicked the first 6 then got smashed) and then the 2nd semi.

Its called dollars pal, and the opportunity missed to hold a club function on a Saturday night after a victory is worth a fair bit of coin. Your right Sandhurst wouldn't care as they will obviously have their bar generating some coin for them on the night.
I agree it is a great way to showcase the League but are the league then compensating the combatants on the night. I would suggest the increased gate revenue say $5000 divided by 10 clubs would be all the Burra get financially out of the night.
Wow that doesn't even pay S Milward.

You are wrong about the Hurst bar as it can not be opened until the game is finished because of the league, it gets all revenue. Also who pays players in finals should all be playing for nothing, to win a flag is payment enough.

Golden Square to beat South Bendigo will be a ripper lots of feeling after the last time expect spot fires everywhere and with some luck we see another bush fire like the half time one the last time these two teams met. Square wont miss any of its injured players. Square by 12 points - BOG J. Griffin

Worst comment on this whole thread, i have played in premierships for North Ballarat in the juniors in the Ballarat Football League (which is far and away a better league than Bendigo) but the seniors is failry close, have to say Bendigo is more even competition with the lower sides, apart from K.Flat and Kyneton to some extent the only ones who struggle massively. Fairly similar leagues, with Gisborne to strong fro Sunbury though

The Inbreds from Bendigo would get a huge shock playing the likes of Sunbury,East point or redan. Any of those sides would make a mockery of the Bendigo Football League
Can't say i've seen any Bendigo League footy but I understand its of a fairly high standard. The Ballarat League is an excellent standard of football but hardly anyone watches it. People in Ballarat and its surroundings seem to follow either Central Highlands or Lexton Plains Leagues. What are the crowd numbers like in Bendigo League?

Gents, it seems I'm in the box seat to answer this question since I have played in the Ballarat FL, Lexton FL and Bendigo FL. My opinion of the three is as follows:
Ballarat FL - good standard for country football, crap media coverage, little or no interest from the general public, crowd numbers are terrible.
Lexton FL - terrible standard of footy, as much media coverage as the Ballarat FL though, great crowd numbers b/c the whole family goes to watch the boys play
Bendigo FL - impressive standard of football, excellent media coverage, lots of interest from general public but crowds can be hit and miss depending on who's playing who and the buildup.
One thing I have noticed is in Ballarat, people (well, most) respect the Roosters and boys aspire to play for them, but in Bendigo, the Bombers are absolutely despised. The difference is the Roosters have marketed themselves much better. The perception on the Bombers is that they are just in Bendigo for what they can get and crap on Bendigo FL clubs.

If the 2 leagues merged Reda, East, Sunbury and Gisborne would fill the top 4. But saying that I think Gisborne would finish on top. The three top sides from Ballarat are very good and play somewhere near the level Gisborne does which makes it an exciting comp. Redan have 7 ex VFL players on there list and they were super yesterday.
I have put them in groups of how I think they are even. The groups can be rotated.
Gisborne

Sunbury
Redan
Eaglehawk
Goldern Square
Sandhurst

No need to get rid of south bendigo grass hopper they aren't that bad are they.....

$14.000 gate, maybe not the best game but dont you think next sat night will be even bigger crowd after that result.
People will turn up next week to see if E/hawk can play like that vs Gis, if it was during the day the crowd would have been down 20%.

No injuries to Gissy they are looking the goods what odds can we get on them for the flag they into 1.08 yet? If not might put my house on em

South easy for me and unfortunately, Gis to go through. Ehawk will then be very worried about the bloods on the Q. Gis V South GF. Thats the word from Windee!

Sorry for the late reply - yes, agreed the Dragons (who everyone now knows I have a soft spot for) have a hard task set ahead for them this week. It will be an even contest, as the Dragons have beaten the Bloods on both meetings this year, but injuries have brought them back to the field (ie. Vigus, Richardson, Keown, Fitzgerald, J Donaldson and the list goes on)... I know I should tip with my head, but I get the feeling the boys want to prove a point after last week's dismal effort. Hurst by 10points
Looking forward to seeing Gis v Eaglehawk (yes, I will be there!) - should be a lot closer than a couple of weeks ago. I'm tipping Gisborne (of course) to win by 20 points.

Can i have a $1,000 then? - 92 points 3 weeks ago is a big ask to turn around. I would not think the Cats would start at $1.60 against the Roos if they meet again. You at the game tomorrow night Goat?
Terrible decision to play it against the AFL finals game. It should be at 2pm.
What day and time is next weeks Prelim?

I think he's only played one (against Eaglehawk), but it doesn't matter, he's played more than 5 Pioneers games. He's eligible.
Would be nice to have S Selwood and R Tarrant running around for the Dragons, but they're off to the AFL Draft camp.

I know he is eligible, but it is not as though you have really lost him. Would be handy to have him running around though

Yeah, get what yr saying, but he'd walk straight into the First XVIII the way the Dragons are travelling at the moment... so I'll count him in those mix of players injured. Just indulge me Norfolk, I'm clutching at straws :D

Big effort from Eaglehawk to turn a round a 92 point hiding a couple of weeks ago. Their ball movement was very good.
Gisborne now find themself in the same position as last year after losing to Golden Square in the corresponding game last in 06. Can Barham do it again?
Goat - get out of the the media and open a betting agency!!

you owe me a grand kingy. maybe we can develop a payment plan for you to pay it off over the next few months.
best game of the year by a mile last night. the hawks are going to take some beating in a couple of weeks, don't worry about that.

I also owe you a grand. Great effort by the Borough. Hopefully I'll get some juicier odds when they face off in a fortnight.

interesting that gisborne supporters have gone quiet(bearsboy & to some extent kings army), lot of chatter when they win, nothing when they lose (gracious in defeat?), eyes must be flooded with tears and can not see the keyboard:(, credit where it is due, great game from two very good sides:thumbsu:, well done eaglehawk, rematch in a couple should be great. also interesting tribunal this week with the melee cases, i do believe claude has to appear, what a joke:thumbsd:, would love to see that performance though.............

Were you there bunny??? If a similiar incident occured in a high pressure final it could spill into something even bigger, we could see old VFA style brawls in the middle of the ground.
Gee that would be good for football? Letting supporters get out there going for it willy nilly.
