Mate i'm not sure how long you've been around for but i remember no bastard going to watch Eaglehawk when they were struggling under Teasdale about 5 years ago, so don't bang on about how loyal your supporters are because you have the biggest bunch of "bandwagon jumpers" in this league. Been around a while, played for 23 years in this comp so i have a rough idea about the league

Castlemaine might improve infact they should be a regular finalist in this competition but it won't have any impact wether there anniversary is in 2009 lets get real. Is a bloke going to hit the ball harder or push to another contest because the club has an anniversary coming up the year after really!

Had an extremely disappointing season last year, lost his playing group after round 4. Constantly contradicted himself in his addresses which probably accounted for teams lack of discipline.

Just wondering if anybody on this thread knows anything of Neville Massina's son. There are rumours on the RDFL site that he might join Macedon. Is there any possibility of this? Does he have any loyalty to Kyneton? Is he any good? I heard he played a couple of games in the Kyneton ones last year so he must be decent at least.

Will comfirm now the Massina if not playing for Bendigo Pioneers he will be playing at Kyneton..... why he would go to Macedon that just amuses me... if he was going to move to a 3rd rate Riddle League Club I would say it would be Woodend but Massina will stick with mates at Kyneton and probably be playing in the ones if he is not selected for Pioneers...
Who Do we rate at the moment as the best captain in the league....
My ladder Prediction for this year
Gisborne

South Bendigo
Eaglehawk
Kyneton ( Cooky will lead them to a finals series and can only improve on last year)

Elliott not in the Pioneers zone will only play for Pioneers if Cannons pass on him and he applies for a permit to play for Pioneers, not many players miss with one TAC team and get picked up by another.

I watched a bit of Bombers footy last year and it seemed to me that all players in the 2nds there were glorified rock stars hoping their names might be called out on Draft Day. Some very ordinary players running around with no football brains. Old Saying "Good players make good coaches"

Confusing a flick back thru some posts show at times a Gisborne flavour, Im not a huge BFL/Bombers follower and the only player off the top of my head I can think of from out there is M.Dillon, reckon DW would be disappointed if u are in fact Michael as I reckon he thought a bit of, or perhaps you're just a mate disappointed a little :confused:

See that is where you a Fundamentally Wrong, It's
" Good COACHES make good players "
For example.... Would James Hird have been the Champion he was if Sheedy hadv'e played him out of the backline the whole of his Career ?
Would Wayne Carey have been the Match Winner he was if Dennis Pagan hadn't devised " Pagans Paddock " for him ?
Would Garry Ablett (senior or junior) be the player he is/was if he was/is played played out of the back pocket ?
Would Steven Silvagni have made Fullback of the Century if he had been left in the Forward line ?
I think not !
Good Coaches identify players strengths & weaknesses, then build a team structure around that which will get the ultimate potential out of the player/s. Then he devises & implements a successful stratergy around that.
This is where Wilson fell down miserably, cause he had the talent at his disposal, he just didn't have the insight to bring it out & direct it effectively.
He also failed to Discipline, & thats a " Killer " ! (Rnd 4)
Or Who knows ? Maybe he knew it was his last year !
Thing is Unfullfilled Potential is a Travesty.
Only time will tell I guess, so once again.... Good luck Flat !

I did think sorry, just obviously thought wrongly. With the previous Gisborne connected posts I thought that you may have been a friend just flying the flag for a mate thats all.
Wasn't having a go, and would hate for you to take it that way. Like I said I dont follow the BFL or the Bombers (actually a Roosters fan), was trying to filter thru the info to see where the interest in DW was generated from.
Would be a tough gig the VFL 2's Id imagine, as most guys that are good enough to play standard opt to play in VCFL leagues instead as we all need to be compensated for missed employment or time spent away from families on a weekend.

Yes all your points are valid
with due respect you are talking about legends and icons of the game and my answer to that is yes they probably would have been no matter where they played.
You are right with coaches strategy, but we are talking seconds footy here
Just a little info " Carlton were quoted to build another premiership side from 95 around Kouta, Adrian whitehead, Campo" (where the Blues now 05 should have been their premiership window) - No coach knows what he has for the future the game moves to quick
I am a Wilson fan, after seeing the three peat he produced at colbo most central vic footy public admire that
when it comes to discipline, the way that wilson kept the side together to win the flag against Broadford and the Adrian Baker show in 03, should be mentioned.
"Good Coaches Manage Good Players" - " Good players make good coaches"
I think BFL clubs need to look out for Flat
Time to move on

Can confirm he is off to port adelaide magpies. Apparently a very tough decision for him but a very good one I reckon. It will be good to see how he goes in what is arguably the 2nd best league in the country. Also a very good learning opportunity to play for one of the countries most famous football clubs.

You can say arguably but sanfl has the score on the board....the vfl these days because of the revamped system the afl goes by is so much in a comp for developing for the afl.
Why is'nt the wafl stronger than it should be !? as there are alot of victorians that play over there !?
Fair enough alot of sanfl clubs these days look to victorian country for players and their would be a high percentage of vc players that are up to the standard or do well.
Even before the afl (then vfl) became national the sanfl would've been on a par if not just in front of the old vfl.
Either way the sanfl & vfl will always be the best two competions outside the afl....
WAFL maybe no 1. for lifestyle :D:p:thumbsu:

Thats right those players were the cream of the WA at different stages but they came over to play in the VFL because it was the number 1 comp.
Just on the argument about the SANFL and the VFL the VFL is widely known as the 2nd best comp in the nation as it has the most AFL listed players running around while there seems to be numerous players trying to keep themselves under the nose of the AFL clubs by playing in the VFL in preference to playing in the SANFL or WAFL e.g- Cloke and Skipworth.

Cable, Glendinning and Farmer (Polly) all came from the W.A.F.L. if my memory serves me correctly. You misunderstood mate & my mis pronounciation could be blame too.
In saying the old vfl i meant the vfa !! it's much of a muchness the difference between the two state leagues and one that would have opinions for both arguments.Yes the vfl does have that advantage of afl listed players but as does the sanfl with their crows or port listed players on a smaller scale.
The continual exodus of vfl/vcfl highly rated players to s.a does prove that the sanfl is a good standard to re-ignite ones fortunes to get back in the system or to improve ones self after starting out and looking to test yourself in the next best comp outside the afl.
Anyway this argument probably has been tossed and turned already in other threads.
In getting back to where i was going to go with this post....What type of player is Saunders and will he make the transition easily or he may need some adjustment !?

In getting back to where i was going to go with this post....What type of player is Saunders and will he make the transition easily or he may need some adjustment !?best country footballer ive seen (and hardest). quality players like this bloke will step up to that level without to much trouble. vic country vice captain 2 years ago and would have been captain last year if not for injury. absolute champion bloke to.

You must be having a laugh saying the SANFL would have been on a par with the old VFL(which is now the AFL). The old VFL was the best Comp by a country mile in the the land as the best players from the SANFL went to play in the VFL....Blight, Cable,Glendenning,Farmer ect.
I'm hoping i've misunderstood your original post. If so im a DC.If not your a DC
not sure how may name attached to the post you are referring to. I would never suggest that the old vfl was on par with the sanfl. I have always thought the old vfl was by far the best league.

If we can agree that the vfl and sanfl are both of similar standards then it is fare to say he is already proven at this level. Played a few games with carltons vfl side(when they had a stand alone) about 4-5 years back and preformed very well(well enough to be invited to train with the ones in that pre season) and also played 1s with coburg when alot younger.
Agreed that he is a legend of a bloke.

The continual exodus of vfl/vcfl highly rated players to s.a does prove that the sanfl is a good standard to re-ignite ones fortunes to get back in the system or to improve ones self after starting out and looking to test yourself in the next best comp outside the afl.
It also means they pay well if not better than most VFL clubs as they have an untapped market and are not competing on the same scale for the dollar all vic clubs are.
I know a few playing in the SANFL and they wont play AFL but they will be very well compensated for their efforts

Agree with this he has is the best player going around and not becuase he has the strongest hands or great skills but because he is the hardest, he tackles, chases, smoothers, blocks and does all the little things better than anyone and in 5 minutes he can win you a game. Not many blokes capable of that..
Also heard the Mark Lloyd is a massive chance to head back to square.

Zillmere Eagles
29 Jan 2008, 19:37
Anyone interested in a change of lifestyle which includes playing for the Zillmere Eagles in the State League competition (AFLQ) please contact me privately.
The club has a terrific history and are a young club on the rise after playing in the 2006 AFLQ Grand Final and last season winning the Reserve Grade Premiership. One of the top 5 clubs Australia Wide for players drafted.
Club has been involved in some off field issues which have now been resolved but have found ourselves slow out of the blocks from a recruiting point of view. The club is seeking recruits who feel they have something to offer at this level and would like to take the oppurtunity to live in QLD and play in the AFLQ.

Wouldn't have thought Lloydy would play against Kerang and if he did i'd reckon he would most likely go with Swan hill as his missus old man has had heaps to do with them over the years

Living and playing with Clint Kelly(Tyntynder) up in Darwin, so would be a bit of pressure from there.

Last time i spoke to him he was deciding between Kerang and Golden Square and it depended on him getting a job apparently Square have got him one would be very surprised to see him play at a different club in the CMFL.. would think a bloke by the name of Brett Jardine would make a comeback to play against him if he went to tyntynder or swan hill.

Good result for Gissy - lose a Michelson Medal winner and then gain a Michelson Medel winner.

Is there any reason why Elsum would not have returned to Kyneton. I am sure that Cooky would love his type of experience around the club.

Have it on very good authority that Mark Scerri will not be with the Kyneton Tigers this year. Looking to play in Melbourne I believe.
Another mercenary to leave Tigerland. That makes Reaper, Eve, Orton, Sultan, Funsten and now Scerri to depart in 08.They were all payed on reputation. That must give Cook plenty of $s to spend and given the output those players gave in 07 the club is probably better off. Especially Reaper & Eve.

Sultan is the biggest lost from tigerland, 1 more year at the club and he would have won them a flag.. he had skills that would of won him the Michelson Medal this year..... The only reason i see him leaving is he is trying to kick start his career somewhere else ... hopefully getting him drafted into the a.f.l next season....

I don't know which Sultan you have been watching mate but the Sultan from tigerland couldn't get a kick in a karate fight! and is as far off the Michelson as Britney Spears is getting her kids back! Best thing they could have done at tigerland was get rid of him :thumbsu:, and as UTC finely put..... They will have alot more $ to spend! But hopefully the recruiting team can get it right this time!

Rumour has it Kyneton is looking at signing Sultans younger brother heard he is not as good as is older brother (not many players are, Nathan Buckley is a exception haha) but is commitment is second to none and if we give him $2000 a game he will win us a flag this year... even said he might stay pass round 13
