matt brown signed on weekend, rabb and flat mateys
on a 1 to 100 scale if big j. brown was rated 97, say, wot would bro. matt be worth
would he be a 70 or maybe hi'er in your opinions
IMHO he'd be a fair bit behind the big bloke
R we sure that he is Jonathan Brown's brother. There are many blokes running around in country footy with the name Matt Brown

Correct Rootos he could be Damien's Brother
You said they would play finals at the start of this year. Right track - they did not win a game this year. Have they had you sedated and hidden in a padded cell for the last 6 months?
I think i was a year out!!!

100% Jonathan Brown's brother. Did have talks with other clubs and went to the Roo's.

Yeah , he spoke to a few clubs, it came down to which club could find him work and he went to Flat due to Austins earthmoving employed him but don't hold too much expectation on him cos of his surname, i believe he failed to get a game in sth warnabools granny team this year.

I thought he was actually on an AFL rookie list but didn't get a game. He can't be too bad if that was the case.

wouldnt expect much from matt brown. played a bit of footy with him at south warrnambool and he is nothing special...at most he is a good seconds player in the hampden league. he did go up and do a pre season with lions a few years back but got that cause he was stayin with jonno in brisbane for the summer. but as i say has never played much seniors in hampden! good bloke to get round the club tho:thumbsu:

Hampden league is better than Bendigo league at the moment.
Article from Ballarat Football League, has there ever been a bigger signing for the reported money deal that sunbury have announced.
http://ballarat.yourguide.com.au/images/masthead_default_logos/94.jpghttp://ballarat.yourguide.com.au/images/general/space.gifLibba signs on with Sunbury
http://ballarat.yourguide.com.au/images/general/space.gif
FORMER Western Bulldogs star Tony Liberatore will coach Sunbury next year.
And in a second major coup, former East Point star and 2005 Henderson Medallist Ben Jordan will join Liberatore as a playing assistant coach with the eastern Lions for the 2008 RegionalOne Ballarat Football League season.
Liberatore, who finishes up in his role as an assistant coach at Carlton this week, has been recommended by Sunbury's current committee for a full-time role that combines football manager and coaching duties with the club.
The appointment needs only to be ratified by the club's incoming committee at the club's annual general meeting on November 13, a formality given the current committee is likely to be re-instated at the AGM.
Club president Greg Allen described the announcement as good news not just for Sunbury, but also for the BFL in general.
"At Sunbury we like pushing the bar and we think that country football does need full-time people now. Having someone like Tony around the club full-time will be great for our young players and when it comes to fitness we don't think you could do better," he said.
"He's still on Carlton's payroll as we speak so it's a pretty big appointment. It's awesome for country footy to have coaches like Tony and John Northey."
At this point the appointment is for one year. Allen said Liberatore and Jordan would play a major role in developing Sunbury's younger players in the post-Mark Power era.
"There is no expectation of flags. While Sunbury likes to play in grand finals, we recognise this starting point," he said.
"Serge' (Power) did a terrific job but we're now starting a new era. Our research has shown Tony is one of the best people you could get to coach and develop young players.
"Ben Jordan is the icing on the cake. His leadership on the field is something we will really benefit from."
Jordan, who lives in Sunbury, has joined the Lions for family reasons and leaves East Point with the club's blessing, Red Lion Kangaroos president Gerard O'Keefe said yesterday.
Sunbury is also hoping to retain 2007 captain Daryl Griffin, who retired along with Mark Power at the end of the season.
"Daryl played with Tony at Footscray, so we're hoping Daryl will reconsider his decision to retire and play another year," Allen said.
"Tony will have his game plan so we're going to talk to the players and hopefully we will keep a lot of our players." An early front-runner for the Sunbury position, Mark Johnson, is believed to be intending to nominate for the AFL draft, effectively ruling himself out of the running for the job.
Total Package believed to be $90k, not to challenge for a premiership and pay that sort of money for 1 year for 2 people is flipping crazy, but if they can afford that money then watch out when they start throwing the cash at players to virtually buy a premiership.
Hats off to the Redan FC you have shown both Sunbury and East Point on how you win flags, its about getting the right people on a limited budget and building the club around people wanting to be part of the place, Ballarat are right in the mix next season as they have done the same.

Ah I went and watched my cousin play for Port Fairy twice this year and watched the Warrnambool Sunday derbies the same weekend. So four games this year. I also had a run for the Port Fairy magoos the year before under some other blokes name. I grew up in Penshurst (40 minutes north of Warrnambool).

I knew where you were from hence why your sticking up for Hampden to be better than the BFL.
At least you could have watched some decent teams this year before commenting - like Terang or Koroit going head to head instead of some team giving Port a thumping!

Reaper would probably prefer to play at a club that is successful on and off the field.
The ' crack " at Billy, defies belief!
Two flags and runner up by 2 points in 3 years, is surely testament to his coaching skills.
I have no idea if Reaper, will be at Gisborne under the capacity you nominated, but if your mail is correct, they would no doubt work as a team, thats what Gisborne is all about, and the difference between the two clubs....Reapers a smart man, and when fit, one of guns in the Bendigo League. He is probably sick of playing with losers....in more way than one!

Reaper as a coach couldn't convince my left ball to tell my right ball to shoot one into Jennifer Hawkins. Knows a fair bit about footy but his bedside manner is lacking.
Rumour has it the assistant coach job at Kangaroo Flat is worth 20 large if you're good enough.

Dale is from Golden Square and has alot of mates there, his football would benefit fiurther at Golden Square but i dare say K/Flat's cash offer would not be matched by Square and hard to refuse, also his younger brother will follow i'd imagine.
Dale can play forward aswell.
They Young's would be a very good get for Flat, with many years of good footy ahead, these are the types of recruits Flat need to succeed.

Possibly because they did'nt get a game when the bombers had a bye.

The North City boys were pretty shocked by his decisions as it has come out of the blue. Spoke to a player last night and he had no idea what the reasons were but the boys were told in a meeting this week about it. The boys respected him as coach.

Woohoo, the Beak's secrecy and insight is astounding!
Hardly a secret that North City covet membership of the Ballarat FL and will bugger off there as soon as they are eventually accepted. The now annual discussion between the Ballarat FL hierarchy and North City FC is on again. Big Wardy will be trying to get his member clubs to accept North City into the fold, his clubs with long memories will be keen to make 'em wait a bit longer.
Stay tuned Beaky....

YOU boys would be aware that Benders has missed out on staging the 2008 Aust. Country Footy championships. We did hold it on the QEO in the mid-90s. Only used the QEO that time --- I think they might need more grounds and facilities a decade on.
It seems the choice for the venue next year comes down to either Geelong or the Goulburn Valley.
As for Kyneton training already, the Tiges have already held their meeting (similar to South's on Wed. night this week) to spell out problems and issues with sponsorship, committee membership, recruitment of volunteers, administration, involvement of players off field and a whole raft of topics.
At the South meeting BFL CEO Steve Oliver and VCFL regional director Alan Davies presided. They said they had filled the same roles at the Kyneton meeting.

Yes Bowles signed at Sth and Mark Adamson(non playing) is the new coach of Golden Square with Nic Carter as his assistant.

Rojer and Hank you both need to go and buy Goats reputable local rag and all the answers to your questions would have been known some time ago.
Robbins AC at burra announced mid last week and Nihill coach of Sand Sat Addy idea floated in Addy a week and a half ago. The Goat has his ear to the ground especially chomping on the little grass left at Dower Park on the weekends.
Dave McCormick a big chance at Mt.Pleasant i hear.
Steve Cox was annouced has Serps coach according to the LV board.
woops meant to post it in the Heathcote section.

Kyneton start training tonight, hopefully with good numbers. I have heard that Guy Orten may be looking elsewhere though.

ORTON will be a serious loss, Dazz.
What about Tate and Ruffell, though ?? Those 2 blokes kicked the Tiges home to a win at Dower Park mid-winter.
Not a huge result you wouldn't think beating the Rooers. Still a win is a win.
Without Tate and Ruffell however the Yellow and Blacks wouldn't have snagged a win that day.

Yes Bowles signed at Sth and Mark Adamson(non playing) is the new coach of Golden Square with Nic Carter as his assistant.
D.McCormick will play for the highest bidder, he spoke to Flat and put his hand up to be an assistant, probably to get more cash, and E/Hawke have offered a bit supposably. why would the burra go after McCormick when they have the gtrain. or could it be the gtrain would need some help up forward. asking for opinions do you think the gtrain is overated?

I dont think the train has had enough opportunities.
He certainly failed in the Grand Final, but they weren't quite the right conditions for Train Rides! The G Train was kept in the station!
Take a look at other games during the year, he will stand up when needed
Also, rumour has it that Eaglehawk has signed a couple of other Charlton Alumni, both of which were at one stage on the Pioneers list. Will add some depth to the 2's ;)

The G is probably the most deceptive mark in the league. Very dangerous when he floats to the footy without making body contact on the opposition backmen. I bet backmen are wary all day coz they would struggle to find him in the marking contest. He is a champion and your right conditions on GF day did not suit his type of play.
