View Full Version : What's happening in the Bendigo Football League
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.
yep i was there, were you? one thing to remember is people are allowed on the ground so if something happens it is easy to have them involved which is no good, only way to stop this is not let them on the ground and that shouldn't happen in country footy as this is a very isolated incident, when did something like this last happen? i think taking claude(who has an obvious disability) to the tribunal a waste of time and makes a mockery of it, i would be more worried about players not playing and players parents becoming involved instead of letting the participants sort it out.
its a joke the case is being heard in the finals and that julian lake could miss a final if found guilty and lets say aaron hawkins misses round 1 if found guilty. both reported for same thing but penalty could be massively different. all cases and investigations shoud be heard and finished before the finals unless it happens in final round or the finals series.
if lake gets a week he should be able to serve it week 1 next year it is not his fault it took so long to get to this stage and if faster he could have missed a round 17 or 18 match which would have been appropriate. hope they all get off. what do other people think?

I think it happened on the weekend in the Kyabram district FL, from what i'v picked up on hats been put down, at half time of the senior match two under 16/17/18 (what ever age group they are over there) sides start a punch on in the centre of the ground, also in that league i think there was something with big Perry Mekka (played in the AFL legends match earlier this year) and some supporters from the other side after the game. don't mean to make KDFL look bad but i have only heard of these two, pretty sure they have happened else where. I'm unsure of what happened with Jules but there has been a few wrastles involving the crowd in recent times.

fair enough so there are a few issues in kdfl, what ever happens its hard to stop unless you put fences up, would still think pretty isolated accross number of games played in country footy though. common sense needs to prevail...

Yep was there too bunna. The situation is no different if it happened in the final series, the investigation process runs its 28 days and finds that a bloke has a case to answer after the GF is run and won. I would hate to be the losing side/sides during that final series that may have benefitted from a subsequent suspension in that situation. I agree it is unfortunate but the process is what it is. At the end of the day blokes make decisions and the crowd hadn't spilled onto the arena only two nuffys and a bloke with a brain. The one with a brain should have realised it wasn't a good spot to be but made a decision, he had a choice.

This investigation is an absolute joke.
Lets get the facts regarding this melee shall we.
There were NO fights in the crowd, there where also no punches thrown and no blood spilt.It was a huge wrestle...A show of strength if you like.
J Lake(South) went onto to the ground to pull his mates out of the fight and put his arm across a square blokes stomach. probably shoudn't have been there but BIG DEAL it was half time!
A Hawkins(Square) Who has never thrown a punch in his life aparently made contact to Julian. BANG gone.
M Tyrell(Square) aparently had a bloke in a head lock?BANG aswell. Who's ever played footy and not been put in one of those in a scuffle.
D Anderson(Square)Wrestled with M Shadbolt and apparently has been plucked out aswell. Apparently the investigating officer couldn't get in contact with Anderson to get his version so BANG he's gone too.
M Adamson(Square) Doesn't even know what he did???
Fair enough it was probably an ugly incident but at least it got the 10 people that actually went to the game involved and added extra spice to the last half of the game(before that it was like a morgue.)
And the BFL wonders why nobody goes to watch?
AND I REPEAT THERE WAS NO BLOOD SPILT AND NO INJURIES FROM THE SCUFFLE.
The BFL ordered an investigation and when they looked at the video saw that they had nothing but had gone to far to pull out without having egg on there face.
If you are going to suspend blokes for wrestling than we may aswell all retire.

^^^ totally agree Maxy, it is a joke the way they have gone ahead with this and i will be very interested to see how it unfolds. I was right on the fence as it was happening, no more than 5 metres away, nothing happened. If blokes from either side get suspended then it is really going to bring any credability that the league has left crashing down:thumbsd:

Jules got 3 weeks because of what "might" have happened because he was near the incident and in plane clothes. They accepted he didn't actually act wrongly, but slapped 3 weeks on the kid for being there? it was half time!!
The panel is supposed to be all about the facts, not speculation on what "might" have happened. They have got it wrong an gone mad! Its a disgrace that now he will miss the most imporant 1 or two games of his football history because of what "might" have happened!
And how can a bloke get 4 weeks for a headlock?? Or 3 weeks for wresltling?? I feel for these boys, all involved. This is a complete joke!

Does this mean Julian Lake will miss the prelim and the gf if they make it?
What a joke! This was Steven Olivers chance to stand up as the man in charge and take control but he has just shown that he will make no difference at all! Being a past player you would think he would see common sense.
Really makes it hard to have faith in and follow the league when this happens!

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.............
Go back to the 16th when a talked about the good win by E/hawk. Hope to see you on here if Gissy turn it around. No tears just like last year when we dropped the same game. Now run along you mupett as I hear Miss Piggy calling you.

lost the 2nd semi final to square last year then this years 2nd semi final to ehawk ..... admittedly after scores were level 3 times in the 4th quarter
now u have got another night game in the prelim. this week and south will be fired up with the suspension of lake
gissie will miss fitzie

I have heard that Wayne Mitrovic is leaving the Dragons. Any truth to this rumor and does anybody know were he will be playing next year? Will be a big loss for the Hurst if true
Jock Clark 2
19 Sep 2007, 19:13
OK, Messenger, let's clear that one up.
Wayne Mitrovic stood on the tables Sunday nite and said twice --- once in the change rooms and once in the social rooms --- he was returning to Macorna in the Golden Rivers League.
Said he wanted to help out with the young players at Macorna. Supporters and members of the Dragons committee said Mitro was one of the best senior players assisting with young players the club has had. Prez Danny Ellis said the same thing in his official speech.
Mitro is 28 or 29 so you'd think Macorna would get a few years out of him.
2/. Cavey --- Steven Oliver is the CEO of the BFL. He has absolutely nothing, I repeat nothing, to do with the BFL Independent Tribunal. They are a body of people established to hear the league's cases. Did you think Ollie would go into the room where the deliberations are going on and say: "Let these guys off, Tribunal members."
Give us a break !!

The mood is good - still alive and with a big game this week. Not certain about the night games - Eaglehawk were good so I would not take anything away from them. The movers and shakers at the BFL think that though giving Gissy another night game.
Do South really need motivation in a Prelim? - once the game starts no one is conecerned about who is missing and why.

JC2 my issue isnt with the amounts the players got although that is another disgrace by the BFL. My issue is that he commented in the addy and I dont have the direct quote but he was quite happy for the tribunal to sit this week although the incident happened a month ago.
What a joke. As you know I am a Kangaroo Flat supporter but South Bendigo have really been hard done by. The suspensions should clearly be after the finals. Steven Oliver has failed his first major test! Gee I cant wait for his next test!
You are dead right mate he shouldnt go into the tribunal but he should have the balls to stand up and say that this just isnt right!

19 Sep 2007, 20:39
Here are some quotes from the Bendigo addy Jock Clark 2.
‘‘That’s not how we operate and we fully support the job Mark’s done.’’ With Golden Square’s season over, Oliver said the league had not considered delaying the tribunal hearing until South Bendigo’s finals campaign concluded.
‘‘We wouldn’t do that because it sets a dangerous precedent for the future,’’ Oliver said.
‘‘We understand there’s one player still involved in the finals, but, unfortunately, that can’t be helped.’’
Mr Oliver doesnt want to set a dangerous precedent. Gee I think you have set a dangerous precedent now! :rolleyes:
I hope there is something the bloods can do about this.

Mark out of 10 after the end of the H&A season:
AND comments about 2008 - recruits, what do they need, who will leave
Flat just needs a new list, wasted alot of money on big names this year that only took them backwards. Kyneton have already made the first change they needed appointing cookie. City need to sign some of their Roosters players full time, adds some consistency to their line up. The borough they're rebuilding played quite a number of there 18s in the ones during the year. They need to sign a good coach that takes the club in the right direction. Maines well there first step is to replace Martin now that his gone. Hurst and the bloods have good depth but lack talent, a player that can lift the teams amd they are getting on is age. Eaglehawk its thier last chance with there current list, they are geting old need to start playing some younger players next year.
Gisborne 9/10 ( there not as good as the past this year)
Eaglehawk 8/10 (started well but have lacked consistency in the second half)
South Bendigo 7/10
Sandhurst 7/10 (to slow, lost a vital game to city)
Golden Square 7/10 (solid year, prob could of finished higher up the home and away ladder)
Castlemaine 5/10
Maryborough 4/10, (adopting a youth poilicy but under performed)
North City 5/10 (they broke even, had a few wins heading in the right direction)
Kyneton 2/10 (struggled after been named final contenders early on)
Kangaroo Flat 1/10 (for getting close to city)

Dont know who will be coaching flat next year but i heard rombo has gone.
Sandhurst could lose a few ive heard,
Metro to marcorna
Gillians to qld to be closer to his girlfriend(soft)
Fitzgerald back to wa
And theres about 4-5 players that will finish their uni course at end of the year that could be on the move pending where they get jobs.
Brian Walsh is living at maldon and is interested in the castlemaine job.
Square will be hoping to get the services of nick carter and simon rosa if all goes to plan.
Murmers of big toni plim returning to footy but maybe not the bfl.

best of luck to lake who has lodged an appeal against his suspension in an attempt to have him available for this weeks game. $5500 has been lodged to the vcfl by the club and if successful they get some of this back, lot of money though.
should be a cracker game tomorrow night and a tuff one to pick, if south produce there best they can win and i think they will, i also think it was a good decision by the bfl to move the game under lights so that it doesn't clash with the hdfl grand final and to capatalise on the attraction underlights.

I would assume that the VCFL will show more common sense and a sense of fairness and justice, What went on on tuesday night for all parties concerned was a farce.
He should get a fine and be allowed to play. I feel for the guy, it's not an ideal preperation for a final!

you may have just missed it on the radio mate, heard updates and interview on sunday, and also in the brekkie show yesterday, would think it will be covered in there wed night show too, who do you like sunday, ill take eaglehawk just and it will be good to see hynes play...
great to read that mat fitzgerald is fit to play sunday. you want to see the best players play in the biggest games, hope hynes gets up too but you have to feel for the unlucky players who make way for them.

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?
Seems they did KA and now you're talking them up. Back your judgement pal and stick to your guns, backtracking like you are doesnt look good. Gis should and will beat them by about 30 points.

Like I said - a massive effort to turn that around. Anyone at the game at the Graveyard would not have thought they could beat Gissy in a final. I was surpirised and paid due respect to them. I hope your a better judge than me and have picked the correct result.

KA you'd be hoping that Gissy are more successful than your other team in the other BFL Sunbury and the Kanga's - surely you can make it at least 1 out of 3!

Very funny! E/H by 7, as much as I hate the thought....may kick too many goals for Gis (well, one too many). Long way back for Kyneton, will need to recruit well.

That namesake of yours Gerta, the G Train was de-railed early, couldn't get near it! Its the team that matters.
Congrats to the Burra, well deserved :thumbsu:
In other matches, Eaglehawk won the U18s and South won the 2's

Fantastic finish.....Gisborne didn't look like winning in the final quarter, could not score when it counted. Crime stats will be down for the Bendigo region for the week, as most of E/H was at the game, and most will be too sauced-up to do much damage during the week. Cash Converters will be short of stock for the near future...

Sensational senior grand final yesterday, both teams performed well in the conditions. Healey for eaglehawk is a gun and what a great comeback, i thought gisborne were home when they kicked the first goal of the last quarter but a great fightback. Barhams losing speech exceptional and showed what a good coach he is and club gisborne are, good to see filo go out on top. Best game of local footy i have seen in a grand final from two evenly matched sides. Bring on next season.

Are you suggesting that this Phoenix FM group may try and cover the footy? Whats the major issue restricting the Fresh from obtaining another license.
Well done to Eaglehawk on their Premiership season and efforts yesterday nutting Gisbourne. Also well done to the Dogs making their 6th Grand Final in a row and being an ounce of luck away from winning it. You would think that if the Borough can manage their list well they should be strong for the next couple of years given the exciting youngsters coming through and the enthusiasm that yesterday's win will generate through the community.

Certainly did. Why haven't square requested a VCFL appeal in regard to the sentences dished out to their players considering Julian got off. Will cost a little bit financially but to have 3 players out early next year cant be helpful I dont understand why they have not gone down that path. Maybe those blokes are not required players at the club next year.

I wasn't aware country football clubs had the luxury of deciding who did and didn't play at their clubs.

the main thing restricting full time licencse again is weather frequency remains community frequency or goes to abc which is decided by senator coonan so that wont happen till after election so i imagine license will be extended again as it was in april this year. if it stays community anyone can apply which i imagine fresh, phoenix and anyone else will do. phoneix fm are the old ones at fresh from years ago with country music and who knows what they want to broadcast. As for finances commuity radio around australia battles so would be interested to know if they were in any worse position than others.

let us hope that if this phoenixdo broadcasts that they dont take the callers from yesterday they were absolutely attrocious screaming every time ehawk went near the ball they could have showed alittle less favoritism for ehawk couldnt care less who won yesterday but the calling wasshocking yeah show a bit of enthusiasm but that screaming wasnt necessary

I do admit towards the end it was a bit like listening to 5AA or 6PR commentate the local games... Still they did a good job and conveyed what was happening.. I really hope that Fresh goes around again next year.. I really like the way they cover the local leagues, it would be a shame if they disappeared..

agreed bit one sided but still a pretty good call, imagine it would be hard to stay neutral in that situation and professionals do it too, you can pick what horse some callers have backed at times.
now that the season has finished what does each team need ? who they might lose? gain? or could pick up ?
Micheal dillon maybe back at Gisbourne
few VFL boys might leave due to the lack of a coach will they go to bendigo will the clubs chase them?

I thought the borough were gone at three quarter. With that wind I thought if Gisborne got a couple of goals early then the floodgates would open. Well done to Eaglehawk on their fightback.
Great final term from Derrick Filo. Classic example of a player determined to end their playing days with a legacy that will be talked about for years
I did hear a whisper that the G Train may be heading to Kangaroo Flat, as a coach/asst. Any Truth to the rumour?

WHY would Wilson be leaving the Essendon Twos ---- aka the Bendi Bombers, now that the Windy Hill mob has gone with a very ordinary choice of Knighter as senior coach ??
Wouldn't Wilson step up as the Ess. Magoos coach ??
Marcus B. has quite clearly stated that he would sit down before Xmas and work out his priorities. As it happens he lives in Essendon -- but no attachment to either their Ones or Twos --- and is busy in his plumbing job.
You'd think he would want Lukey Saunders staying on at the Graveyard and not floating off to Werribee. Has that club got a future in the VFL anyway, W'bee that is, with Willy tieing itself up with the Western Doggies now.

What amazes me is that people love making judgements and giving opinions on things that they have very little knowledge of. Essendon have seen Knights coach first hand and seen his presentation matched up against the other applicants.
What crap are you talking about Marcus Barham of course he has no attachment to Essendon ones or two's he coaches Gisbourne?
Maybe your just trying to generate some chat in a forum that has dried up this week. Where's Bears boys and kings army there never far away when the Dogs are winning.

jock for one wilson left b4 knights was appointed coach of essendon
two has to be an essendon person due to the allignment,
another have u actually been coached under him ? guess not knights has done a fair job for wat he has to work with, remember it aint very financial sound for a person to play vfl, so they dont always get the best players, and some players just dont wanna play so they are limited, another thing is knights as coach has developed the essendon players very well, look at there young players they will be good in 2 to 3 yrs, and they wouldnt appoint him coach for no reason?
so to answer ur question wilson resigned b4 knights left for the top job

Fair comment gents. Zack Harvey here. Personally, I was a bit disappointed with my call on Sunday, I thought about pulling out prior to the game as I was just too nervous with Eaglehawk being involved and in hindsight it probably would have been a better option as it was just too hard to stay impartial in such a close and important match.
