What's happening in the Bendigo Football League

[Picklesmeoldmate]

:p GUYS, I think u will find South Hawk is unhappy with the Fresh over last year's BFL ressies grand final call. Eother South Hawk or an offsider rang the Fresh to complain about the ressies call last September.
Fair enuf too, if the player identification wasn't up to scratch.
But u know wot is always sed lads ---- its far easier to call AFL footy than bush footy because everyone knows the AFL players. No one except regular attendees know a quarter of the bush footy faces !!
Yerss Picklish Fresh's team will call the entire lightning series, I've been told. Right from the first bounce at 10 am to the last kick in the grand final.
Its ludicruous to suggest 3bo wood do local footie ... they are only interested in the $$$$$ bottom line, not about supporting local footy and netball. They r your once a year job.
And if up to 5 broadcast organisations cover AFL games from the MCG or the Phone Dome, why not 2 Bendigo radio stations doing the Ess v Hawthorn kick and giggle ?? :confused: That was the proposal suggested to Tynan-Eyre organisers, I've been told..

Two radio broadcasts of a practice game in bendigo ................ come on strap

[Picklesmeoldmate]

O'Bree or Darren Walsh??? Who do we rate higher?
why are you so keen to rate the coaches toad. you aren't one of them yourself are you

Unfortunately wasn't me mate, I was quite drunk at the game and even worse after the game :thumbsu:

[south_hawk]

I'm also thinking the same Pickles, my bet is on Neville Massina or some Kyneton player that wants to coach

Toadster, how about you give us some opinions of coaches:D

[Norfolk & Clew]

Toadster, how about you give us some opinions of coaches:DLooks as thought Toady as has gone all quiet!! How is school holidays treating ya pickles any good cartoons on?:thumbsu:

South_Hawk are you a player?

[south_hawk]

South_Hawk are you a player?

Maybe I am, sussing out whats going on in the league, anyone guess who I could be? :eek:

Are you a Mountain my friend?

[Picklesmeoldmate]

Looks as thought Toady as has gone all quiet!! How is school holidays treating ya pickles any good cartoons on?:thumbsu:
yeah, i watched that striparella last night. quite good. i also like rugrats.:p

[Toadfooty]

No Pickles I am not a coach or a player but I have had encounters with Massina in Bendigo. By the way hows the Midland express? Blues Bogan seemed to know who you were?

[Toadfooty]

why are you so keen to rate the coaches toad. you aren't one of them yourself are you

I was talking as players not as coaches mate.

[Jock Clark 2]

PICKSTER ..... would you mind if I printed out your markets (on earlier pages on this thread) for Wallace Teasdale and his Fresh FM team to read out tomorrow nite.
I'm talking here of the 2006 flag/Michelsen medal/Ron Best Medal quotes but more importantly as April 1 is not far away, the Litening Prem. odds ?
I'd print them out and drop them off before the 5 pm show tomorrow.

[south_hawk]

Good for you pickles mate, keep yaself busy

[Toadfooty]

buddy, why don't you give me your assment of your coahces. what am i, the bloody Minister for Assessing Coaches around here:rolleyes:


I can't blame Davis from what i've read you have the best knowledge of Bendigo Footy in here.

[Picklesmeoldmate]

thanks for those kind words today. i do my homework.

[Picklesmeoldmate]

thanks for those kind words today. i do my homework.
you can't expect me to be nice to davis though after he wanted people to stop talking to me, that's fair enough isn't it

[Toadfooty]

Pickles how do I get in on your odds and betting? Are we playing for keeps?

[Toadfooty]

Cant blame you there mate, Behind ya 100%

[Norfolk & Clew]

Agree with ya pickles that it is a bit bizarre that old strap wants to put your odds over the radio, for all we know you could be claude! (no offence mate). Jock strap, why are you so keen to get his odds on the radio?:confused:

[Picklesmeoldmate]

Pickles how do I get in on your odds and betting? Are we playing for keeps?
you will have to go back through previous pages to find them all. i can't remember when they were. playing for keeps, what do you reckon?

wat odds would u give me for S. Reaper leading goal kicker Eaglehawk to win the flag Double

[south_hawk]

So who do we all think will be the young stars of the year?

[Jock Clark 2]

I WILL just hand the odds in, boys --- final ladder, Michelsen, Ron best medal and Lightning Premiership odds.
If they use them well and good ... if not, no harm done.
Claudie can't get in the station building Norf, I hear.
He doesn't know the keypad ID security numbers at the front door to key in !! But he's around there, and the chemist, and the pub, and the ........ !

Haha mate, Bendigo would not be bendigo without claude, in regards to young stars, I think Chris Bell from wycheproof his is now at square could be a handy player, only 18 or 19 i think!

Pickles (The outright master of this thread!:thumbsu:) what odds would you give me for this triple? Gisborne-Flag, Danny O'Bree-Michelson, Beattie-Ron Best?

[spoke4923]

Hey Pickles

have u got the sh****s that werve found out who you really are


Matthew Nicolls

Works for the midland exprees

coaches the local Lancefield Romsey under 16s cricket tEAM now what do u have to say for your self

I can say with great certainty that "Pickles" Nicholls and Picklesmeoldmate, the grand master of BF are indeed two completely different people. Not only do i doubt the intelligence of Matt Nicholls to use BF as a reliable footy source, I have a strong suspicion of the true identity of oldmate. BTW, M. Nicholls is soon to leave the offices of the Midland to begin his new life as a cattle rustler. A wise move me thinks.

I suspect you are correct Spoke, there is strong suspiscion that Nicholls isn't leaving on free will either.

[Picklesmeoldmate]

by the way, can anyone tell me if my odds were on the radio yesterday. i didn't hear the show, so i'm not sure. if they were, were they attributed to me. if i didn't get credit, i might have to speak to gareth keenan about getting some legal advice.

Today, keen to have a little nibble on the punt are you mate. Good for you. That is quite a good multiple you have put up there, and i am prepared to quote you at $10 for that. I agree with you that gisborne will win the flag and beattie the ron best. o'bree is an interesting one. obviously didn't capture the attention of the umpires last year because he polled stuff all votes. but i reckon he is going to have a big year this year, so is certainly in with a chance for the michelsen. how much do you want to wages todad man

Square under 39.5 - $1.80
Square over 39.5 - $2.15

$20 PMOM, I just think it always takes a year for the BFL umpires to pick up on players, and I think they will catch on to O'Bree this year.

punters, just been a massive plunge on behrens for the most runs. i have no choice but to shorten him into $2.20. still good value though i reckon.

[Toadfooty]

PMOM i'll have $5 on behrens for high bat, and $10 on Schmidty for most wickets

[Picklesmeoldmate]

no worries mate, good luck. i bet you schmidt doesn't take the most wickets. in fact, i guarantee it

[Toadfooty]

What is your theory behind that? Not a big game player? Pressure?

I wouldn't write Ky off that easy.... $10 on ky under 39.5 and $10 on Ky over 39.5 - too good odds to pass up.....:rolleyes:

no worries tappy, you're on. in fact, i'm that confident schmidt won't be the leading wicket-taker this weekend, i'll drift him out to $45. :p

[Picklesmeoldmate]

What is your theory behind that? Not a big game player? Pressure?
no, nothing to do with pressure or anything like that. lets just say, i reckon he might go missing for a couple of hours at some stage ???????????

[Wisper]

Pickles - what odds for South Flag, Nick Knight - Michelson, and Beattie Ron Best...

[Picklesmeoldmate]

Pickles - what odds for South Flag, Nick Knight - Michelson, and Beattie Ron Best...
wisper, your obviously a closet south supporter. let me see, south for the flag, fair choice, knight for the michelsen, not sure, haven't seen much of him, and beattie for the ron best, that's a good selection.
I'm going to give you $30 for that multiple. just not quite sure of knight's capabilities of winning the michelsen, but your other selections are quite good. are you happy with that

[Toadfooty]

PMOM are you doing multiples on the cricket tommorow?

I like those odds, 20 clams on that.... I actually think Gisbourne will win, but just trying to bump up their odds...... I haven't seen South play too much but like their colours... ;)

If we all get to start with $200 as you said a while back, i'll have $100 on BUCC's at $1.90, i reckon they're a monty!:thumbsu:

I wonder why pickles is so sure D Schmidt won't take the most wickets, maybe he has to duck off for a wedding perhaps.

[Toadfooty]

I knew that mate. I wasn't seriously going to put money on after he said he might have to duck out for a couple of hours.

[davis24]

toad footy sent me a privet messsage saying that he herd on the radio that kangaroo flat folded today at about 7.50 is that true

[Toadfooty]

It's a silly rumour that was sent to me by someone by the name of Sth bird or something like that, I'm sure theres no truth in the rumour just someone being stupid.

[b birmingham]

that would be a huge story davis but would be very doubtful, read the addy tomorrow i guess to find out. Where did you hear that from again?

Australia going well in the cricket, 1/128 Hayden and Ponting both passed 50

[Toadfooty]

Don't worry B.B, I just fowarded it on to Davis because he is very good with news so i just asked him if there was any truth in the rumour, Sth Bird or something sent it to me.

[Toadfooty]

PMOM, I'd say Davis was tanked last night, on a footy front Bendigo has gone very quiet. Not alot in the papers not much on radio, I sense something big is coming?

[south_hawk]

All the action will start in 2 weeks, is Lightening Premiership on the Saturday or Sunday??

[davis24]

First of all i would like to aplogise about the other night for my stupidity comments

back to the real stuff do use think teams will play there full strength teams in the lighting cup

[Toadfooty]

No!!!!

[Picklesmeoldmate]

No!!!!
i don't think they will either. i can tell you this friends, i won't be reading anything into the results of the lightning premiership, that's for sure. i don't care if gisborne don't win a game in a couple of weeks, they will stay as my favourites for the flag. do people agree.

[Toadfooty]

Yes!!!!

[Picklesmeoldmate]

Yes!!!!
today footy, please be more insightful with your answers. let's get some value out of you on here my friend.

[Toadfooty]

Sorry PMOM, I agree with you with Gisborne. I can't see them being dethroned this year, they still just have too many good core players to build a side around. I don't completely agree with the South hype, I think Golden Square will finish above them.

[Picklesmeoldmate]

Sorry PMOM, I agree with you with Gisborne. I can't see them being dethroned this year, they still just have too many good core players to build a side around. I don't completely agree with the South hype, I think Golden Square will finish above them.
thanks for expanding toady, much appreciated. i agree golden square will be a good side this year and one of the challengers, but i'm expecting big things from south bendigo after their superb recruiting. bloods to finish second.

[Toadfooty]

Yeah thats fair to say but i'm still not 100% they will stand up all september with the loss of Matthews up front, they were just to small last year and will be smaller this year. Square have recruited what they needed- A ruckmen, and by all accounts a good one in Wes Pye. PMOM how do you think the outter towners will shape up?

[T.Perry]

I was just wondering - I know it's probably been posted already, but how much $ is up for grabs to the winner of the lightning premiership? Will be interesting to see how it goes, I know that Rochy plan on fielding a pretty strong team..

Do you think many clubs will get any quality "ring-ins" to play?

$2000 mate to the winner, doubt clubs would get ring ins to play in a praccy match if they are not gonna play for the season

I would think sides would be playing at pretty much full strength. There is a handy 2 Gorillas in prize money and I don't think blokes will stop and think gee its the lightning Premiership when there running for a ball against a rival opponent. It will be game on look at Geelong saty nite they pulled out all stops. The only thing that is hard to guage on the games is that they are short games. The board should look at running this comp over 3 weeks next year with full scale games on Wed & Fri nites.

OTM I think you will get quite a surprise when you see how some sides line up. Most sides like a hit out two weeks before the season but not in a round robin format. As most people say it is better to come into the season a little underdone then to peak in April.

can't agree with your OTM. don't think the sides will be all that flash running around in a couple of weeks.

HELLO again, guys. Been away from the keyboard for a few days.
Norf ... not only 2 gorillas for the litening winner. One gorilla for the runner-up and half a gorilla each for the 2 semi-finalists.
Over at the netties court, half a gorilla there for the winner.
Thumbs up, eh, :thumbsu: for the Bendy Bank. They r the official sponsors.
How's the work situation, Norf. Good to c u can sneak away now and again.
I agree with your views on the thread discussing footy matters -- not happy with the "disclosure" stuff.

TOADEY: remember back in December, Maryboro thought they wood have Jamie Bond for each home game at Princes Park ?
Well, now much closer to the season expect them to feel it is a bonus if they can get him back for a mere handful of games. Reason --- Bondy's very busy with work as a builder.
Simon Elson WON'T be coming back for Gissie. He's staying at the Stars own in Doutta.

Good to see your back keeping the thread alive mate! Start the new job next monday, so this is my last week of Big Footy during business hours! Dunno how I will survive to be honest!
Thanks for backing me up there mate, didn't want to be a spoil sport but she was getting a tad out of hand!
Square looked pretty good on Sunday, bit biased but against a GVFL club even if Ky are gonna be weak they looked alright for their first game together!:thumbsu:
