That doesn't make sense... Thirds footy is far superior to twos, yet bring the quality of thirds down by throwing 2's in the mix?
Operational nightmare with the team sheets.
No - definately too many teams / leagues. That's the problem. Western Plains and Lexton merged b/c of this exact problem.
How does that not make sense?
WTF about the team sheets?
I'll bet you London to a brick that what I'm suggesting gets up and has more hope of having long term success than amalgamating leagues and taking the soul out of towns like Talbot, Serpentine, et al.
What's that going to do to the team sheets when these little towns have no team? Idjit.

Typical North Ballarat d**khead comment. It was a suggestion to a problem and you are worried about teamsheets!!!!!

Maryborough has no thirds, Sandhurst has no twos....
Who on this thread would support amalgamating some of the second tier leagues? (MCDFL, LVFL & HDFL)
Bendigo has to sustain 4 leagues - not enough players to go around.
Maybe if Sandhurst had a better club enviroment they'd be able to keep their juniors after under 18's and field a reserves team. Some might argue that most of them move for uni, but look at square's 2's team from the weekend, 4 players travelled from Melbourne to play because they enjoy being at the club. It would of been 5 if Brendan Fraser hadn't broken his leg.
If clubs can create a good enviroment they will not struggle for numbers.

MCDFL is probably stronger than ever with full complements of teams at all clubs. Doubt they'd consider a merge of any kind.

Gisborne is a lot different to Sunbury - one have 90k from Pokies handed to them - the other doesn't. No doubt Sunbury and Redan pay there players very well. Gisborne would be no where near either of them.
The reason Redan gets bagged as well as Gisborne is all to do with tall poppy syndrome! People get jealous of sustained success - take Ablett for example.
KA, I enjoy reading your posts majority of the time. But...
If your suggesting Redan are a big paying club and that is why we have had success in recent years then you are kidding yourself.
Have you ever played in a premiership Y or N?

I beg to differ. Fish has told everyone about his experience at east point and his story is the same as the previous coaches who he talks with regularly. Maybe you are getting so shitty as you are one of the peckerheads fish talks about.:mad:
KA look out for some coloured in tats this year!!!!:D
In all seriousness can we give him a chance and let up on the previous error of his ways as these errors were also allowed by people at east point. He reckons most of the posts shitcanning him on this arena are from east point so let up!!!!!!
1) You can differ but your not right.
2) Wrong again, Fisher had my support all the way through.
3) Wrong again, will repeat...good luck to him.
Sorry Oracle, three strikes and your out!:p
Close, the last time i played around Bendigo was for the bulldogs but not them.
Don't go bragging about six grand finals in a row, if every other club spent the cash you guys did they would've made six aswell.
When you pay mcguane 60,000 a year plus an open cheque book for players then your destined for success.
I like how you try and back peddle about your loss.
The reason gissy kicked bad is cos they were'nt used to having shots on grass , their used to kicking for goal in mud( your disgrace home surface)
or they were under pressure and not front running as per usual.
Just face it you were beaten by a better side on the day and guess what, get use to it cos its gunna happen alot this year.
I can assure you that Gisborne would pay the least amount of money out of any of the top 5 sides from last year and even a few outside the 5
Daniel Bailey from Kangaroo Flat has just moved into our league. Can anyone reveal what sort of player he is? Ones/twos? key position/midfielder? Etc...

And how can you assure us of this, have you seen the annual report for all football clubs within the BFL. Answer, NO. No one is privvy to what all clubs spend, you could not surely think you have any idea as to where gisborne ranks in spending opposed to all other clubs. You have no facts to base this on, your statement is based on rumor, innuendo and what people write on this site.

List what you think Edwards, Fields, Blomley, Dwyer, Murrihy, Snibson and Nunn get paid. Redan would only be behind Sunbury and on par with East Point with player payments last year.
I spent hours on video tape watching the Redan game plan - the reason of your success is that you are extremely well drilled. Each on baller runs to an exact spot at each ball up or throw in and they all know there role and work for each other. Your ruckman would hit the ball the opposite way every time (the same way the opposition ruck was trying to hit it). You then get numbers behind the ball and then have options to release to a number of players - fields being the number 1 option. You would also nearly always get 1 or 2 extra players to each contest freeing up a loose man. This is just you teams extra work rate. No doubt your success has come via a well drilled unit but please don't tell me your gun players are not compensated well.
Do you really hate the drummer?

It did my head in watching tapes of your team. I have pages on them if you like - it did not matter as they were that well drilled we knew what they were doing and still could not stop it. No lazy players at Redan.
Try 800. That includes the $3,000 bonus paid to Edwards after the Grand Final last year.
I only see a couple of Redan games - I thought the drummer added some value.

You definately know what gisbourne players get paid because your the general manager who pays them.
Gisbourne and e/hawke would've been the only two teams to pay over 100grand last year with maybe south behind them.
To think gisbourne paid less than all the over finalists is a joke , do you think we are all fools you idiot!
Gisbourne is the only club in the bfl to pay their 2's players $50- a week win loose or draw, its a good idea to hold some depth but there's nearly $18,000 just on 2's players for the year.
I know what some of recruits knocked back from other clubs to play at gissy and it was close to ten gorilla's.
Sandhurst pay sfa so to think you paid less than them last year is funnier than you trying to touch your toe's big boy.

No Ablett - we just think your a fool. And one of the reason why your a fool is that you think Jenna J is Bears Boy. Jenna is a player at Gisborne Bears Boy was the football manager last year.
Now - about that bet to never hear from either you or me again? 5 losses for Gissy in 08? In or out nuffy?

Jenna J - Is a player
Bears Boy - was the football manager.
They are 2 different people. Was that slow enough 4 you??
Will back KA up here, his facts above are true, as far as what Gissy pay........well there seconds get $20 per game, not $50, and most of it goes in membership and over the bar, so money well spent by the club if you ask me, and there senior payments.....well if you got the coin why not spend it.........reckon close to 100k would be accurate, most successful clubs have a 300 turnover. Its all about the committee, work hard, get success and watch the coin roll in. I might be the most hated man in the BFL and the Gissy footy club, but I know what Im talking about here.

Last year they lost by 113pts, having been there they played a Sydney/St Kilda type of game trying to minimise the damage. They were successful in doing this for nearly three qtrs hence the lesser margin. If they played an attacking brand of footy on the weekend just gone I would suggest the numerical difference is irrelevant and Norfolk may have a good point. Doesn't read well I must admit but hopefully the club is playing a brand of footy that gives them a chance to win, as supporters this is what we want to see and none of the negative sanitised stuff we see during AFL games on occassions.

As i said mate i left just before halftime and didn't see the second half, when i left they were only losing by 3 or 4 goals. Commenting on what i saw...
13.13 to 6.4 - 26 scoring shots to 10. Try 8 and a half goals - you sure you were there? Or just drifted off when maths was the subject?

Left just before halftime, it was 10 goals to 6 at that stage, which from my view is a massive improvement. As i said KA, didn't see the second half, clearly we tore them apart but i am only commenting on what i saw. Now I'm a square man so its not biased or anything, you weren't there mate so if anyone who who was at the game cares to disagree on my thoughts of the first one and a half quarters we'll see.
As for your gisborne, only 8 or 9 goal win from memory... Have the maine improved that much or did the dogs have a bad day??

They played the 3rd or 4th best team in the comp and were smacked by 144 points. They will be lucky to win a game and nothing has changed.
Gis dominated and it was 11 and a half goals (did the maths) Gis missed alot of shots at goal - 36 scoring shots to 17.

He didn't pull on the boots a bit lame from last praccy match, but to his and the burras credit put on a real good show. Definitely in the mix for that fifth spot.
When you said lame were you referring to his tattoo's and an ink poisoning issue?
This weeks result prove there are 4 good teams - E/hawk, Gis, South and Square. 2 below average sides Mary and Castle and 2 embrassing teams Kyneton and the Flat. Sandhurst is the wild card. If they have dropped off then Mary and Castle can make the 5 but what a one sided final 4 v 5 would be.

Only time will tell on the with that call KA but i agree it's not a good start for the flat rats.
Re Gisborne KA
remember the old saying "bad kicking is bad football"
Isn't that what cost you the game a fortnight before?

I'm glad you're good at maths KA, because that is about all you having going for you at the moment. You have no idea how the flat were performing during the time I saw them play. Sorry i was wrong about the margin but when I saw the score on footy scoreboard Saturday night I didn't really take much notice of any score other than squares.

Very true - but to play as bad as we could and still beat the Maine by 11 goals is a good sign.

I saw the whole game , 12 of the 17pts kicked by Square where in the first half thats one reason why the scores where closer at halftime.
I think Square kicked 6.7 in the first quarter and the points where from missed shots not rushed behinds, Square had roughly the same scoring shots in the second half as they did in the first but kicked straighter in the second half obviously.
The flat where very young and had enough of the ball at times, but it will take the young guys a few weeks to learn about senior pressure and intensity, things that are very hard to replicate at training.
Flat where a bit stiff to cop a ,raring to go Square, first up and i'm sure they will be more competitive next time.
I'm confident Flat will win some home games, they've got capable forwards who will kick goals when they play lesser opposition due to the onballers will be able to get inside 50 more often.
Square where impressive but the coaching staff are smart enough to compare the win with the opposition at hand and with Sandhurst and Kyneton in the next two weeks, which should be wins, then after the bye the game against Eaglehawke at home will be the measure/gauge to se where they are at.

Good on KA for potting Kyneton after you guys have a medioca win against Castlemaine. From all reports your mob arent the side they once were and will probably up against it at the pointy end of the season. Especially against a class out fit like Eaglehawk. Was at the Kyneton game and yes, Kyneton were out of there depth against a well drilled, super talented side that still has 4 or 5 to come back into it however still won some praise of the reigning premiers coach about the way they went about it. Dissapointing Kyneton let them kick 6-8 goals in the last 10 minutes to blow the score wide open.
Write as much as you like about your team, a team that has done extremely well over the last few years but dont kick sides when they're down. Ever heard the saying "Be good to those you meet on the way up, cause your bound to meet them on the way down".
Very true - but to play as bad as we could and still beat the Maine by 11 goals is a good sign.
You might not be the GM anymore but your still a FW.
You've seeme to have played bad against e/hawke too the last 3 times you've played them, mabye gissy played bad cos they have bad players.
Instead of stating that, you did'nt play great but it was still a good win , you stated it in your usual arrogant words.
I was at another game on the weekend but my sources who seen the g.square v k/flat game said there was a big crowd that witnessed a substandard k/flat.
They said flat had more coaching support staff than an afl team and didnt see they point in it all.
Wilsons obviously trying to copy from his bombers experience and atleast he is used to copping a hiding.
Poor Rowan Warth will think he's back playing for fitzroy!
Flat will be one of the most expensive bottom sides going around victoria, lets hope for their sake they give castlemaine a run for their money this friday under lights or its another long year ahead

You would love a medioca win against the Maine away. It would be celebrated like you had just won the flag.
What praise?? - I can hear it now "I would like to thank Kyneton on doing a great job at boosting our percentage".
When is this way up going to happen - been waiting for 6 years and nothing is different????? Kick you when your down - you can't get up and are years from being competitive.
You do realise that Gisbourne's average winning margin against Kyneton is 116 points in the last 3 years. You are already rattled about tip toeing into Graveyard this weekend. Got a tip for the end result??? - I will go with Gisborne by 117 points - just to be different to the average.

You are that stupid it is a real concern.
Not certain how many times you need to be told. I try to type slow so a nuffy like you can understand.
In 2007
Bears Boy was the football manager
Kings Army helped with the stats.
You seem to struggle to grasp basic concepts and when you do they seem to disappear from your mind. I think they call that Bi-polar schizophrenia. Take a pill and have a good rest.
And when you post do some research because it make you look very stupid. You want to skip over the round 18 clash last year when Gissy won 22.16 - 148 to 8.7 - 55 - but hey why let the truth get in the way of a good story.
Now find a quiet spot and have a little sleep - things aren't as bad as when your awake.

I hope your players read these posts of your and realise why some people have sub standard views of the Gisborne Football Club. The success there is unquestionable, and the majority of the players you have are genuine good blokes, good footballers and modest at what they have achieved.
However the thought that you represent this team in some official capacity is embarrasing, not only for the the blokes that actually do the hard work on the ground but the way you talk and portray yourself probably is a true reflection of your personality in everyday life.
As far as the Kyneton comments - the results speak for themselves and you cant really defend the disapointment of the last 5 or 6 years. God help you if Gisborne ever have the unfortunate experience of being near the bottom of the ladder I expect that you wouldnt hang around during the bad times anyway.

No pentium, KA is not Brett Vernon, i am.
Kingsarmy is a mate of mine but i can assure you and everbody else he has no official role at the Gisborne FNC, like he posted earlier, he gave us a chop out last year with some stats (there are plenty of people around that will confirm both these points).
The views expressed in KA's posts are those of his own, they are not mine and are not those of the Gisborne FNC.
I hope this makes things a little clearer.

Alot of players read the post and they take like most normal people would. It is a bit of fun but when the truth is spoken peanuts like you cannot get to a tissue box fast enough.
The reason Kyneton is open to get potted is that nothing has changed in 6 years. You limp through year after year and add no value to this competition. Sorry - thats right as per Eaglehawks speech you boost percentage and maybe give Flat a win this year. You now accept that from your team and I think I can say what I like until you at least show your trying.
But hey if this is to tough for you to read I will give you one really good piece of advise.
