Tim Hargreaves will be at Barooga next year. Whether or not as a coach, I don't know. He definitley will play for Barooga. Jason Wild to coach next year, as will Dallas Gallagher - Corowa and Tungamah appear to be the likely places. Craig Ednie to play with East Ballarat. Rick James to coach Strathmore. Peter Seymour expected to chuck in the job for a 2 TIME !!!!
Jon McCormick to retire from all footy.
Saw the 2nd Semi today - Hodgson T - hitting behind play as usual, nothing changes. Pressure will be on Hodgson in 2 weeks time, could he be a triple time losing coach in a Grand Final, 3 years running. The word THUG comes to kind when that name is mentioned. Just remember the comments you made on the radio this morning Trav old boy, comes on GF day, you will hear them resonate when your crying again.:thumbsd::thumbsd::thumbsd::thumbsd::thumbsd:

Obviously BOG is licking his (or her) wounds after realising her team could be going out in straight sets. Trav is one of the fairest players (and nicest blokes) you will ever see... but provoke him at your peril. The umpires would not have been watching behind play as they were too busy trying to pick out another free kick for the Wangaratta Whingers. I'll bet the bus trip back to Melbourne (for half of their players) was pretty quiet.
How about a bit of credit to a bloke in his third season as coach entering his third successive grand final. Nobody gave North a chance at the start of the year and Hoggy has got them into the decider. By the way Bog, if North wins he will become a triple premiership player with the Hoppers...not a bad effort wouldn't you say? How many premiership medallions do you have?....and what is your coaching like? Sorry, what was I thinking, there aren't any girls playing or coaching in the O&M.

Talking to Tom Dickson today and he says that Clint Bizzell is a strong bet to take over the reigns at Wodonga next season.:confused:
Word has it that Dickson has sustained yet another injury. Apparently he had a long term injury which has flared up again in the groin region. Some say it has something to do with a 45 year old gray street hooker. Really bad luck for Tom who has been struggling after his knee reco earlier this year.
This may be bad news with Tom set to miss the next two seasons with enlargoredchaffbalssis. Although it may be a blessing in disguise as he will now be able to to focus on his coaching career.
He may be only 21, but hell, I'd play under the kid!!!

Saw Wodonga Vs Yarrawonga today. I must admit I wasn't a true believer in the Dogs ability to go all the way but after today I doubt anyone will stop them. Speaking of sniping Tim Hargreaves did more sniping than there was in the whole Vietnam War in one day today especially to the Wodonga kids. And what's with McMillan is that bloke a sook or what! Pound for pound Yarrawonga are/were the best side in the comp. It's gonna be a long drive back to Melbourne tonight for most of them!!!

Thats assuming that Twitty has time to coach next year. I have heard the new job is placing time constraints on him and I believe there has been quite alot of absences from training. I think you give him a little too much of the credit as Robbie Jackson has definetly played a major role in turning the boys around in Twitty's absence

The word going around is that Jarrod Twitt wont coach Wodonga next season, regardless of what happens to them this season. It appears that Twitty will accept a relocating position in the business he works for in Coffs Harbour. Also heard that Matt Shir is pissed off that Andy Carey is appearing to be the gun pick up from the O&M in the Canberra comp. Apparently Shiry wanted to be the O&M's 'ambassador' in the nations capital next season....because apparently that position pays pretty well. Thats the word along the grape-vine anyway....

Word is that Twitt is signed, sealed & delivered for 2008. And he will deliver the flag - Yarra were a rabble (more ramifications to come off the field I hear). Hargreaves rep is in tatters after his sniping efforts and piss poor year - he could also be in strife with the O&M following his performance after the game (stay tuned!). Also, the Dogs have been promoting their youth all year in 1st & 2nds (at least 20 kids 18 or under have had a taste of senior footy).

Not so much of a NAG, more that when you see a 6 foot 8 inch bloke running around on a footy field resembling the cowardly lion from the Wizard of Oz, makes for some humerous banter. I also once overheard Brendan saying to Dorothy, Tin Man & Scarecrow:
Courage! What makes a king out of a slave? Courage! What makes the flag on the mast to wave? Courage! What makes the elephant charge his tusk in the misty mist, or the dusky dusk? What makes the muskrat guard his musk? Courage! What makes the sphinx the seventh wonder? Courage! What makes the dawn come up like thunder? Courage! What makes the Hottentot so hot? What puts the "ape" in apricot? What have they got that I ain't got?

Yep. It was in the BM a few weeks ago. Work commitments was the reason given, don't know the full story though.
Not sure if he'll stay around to play. He took a few blokes from benalla with him so it'll be interesting to see what they do.
Ben Beams to coach for the next 2 years i think. They'll need a long list of recruits, they battled this year and no A. Carey next year (off to canberra) and beams comin back from a knee reco.
On Carey, i still find it hard to believe that north were speaking to him. I'd reckon they'd have put a fair offer on the table if it ever got to that stage. They have got no shame at all and i'd imagine a few in the hills are filthy about it.

Pell was big loss but the Maggies rebounded well after Wodonga smashed them late in the season. If Hopper McCormick suits up and the other on - ballers can run some interference they will be a big chance. Nth Albury however have timed their run beautifully and will be very confident.

Very disappointed in the startegy adopted by the Ovens and Murray hierachy this year to fill the seats at the Morris Medal dinner. In the past the league has suggested to clubs that certain players should be at the night because they had either won an award or had come very close. This year there policy seems to have changed. In the past players from our club have been invited with due cause - they won a league b+f. This year however players were invited and were not even mentioned in the top ten of their respective awards. This is particularly disappointing for under 18 players, they fork out the $60 to attend and then are left wondering why they even came - not mentioned in the top 5 on the night and not in the top 10 in the border the next morning. The league should have a good hard look at its policy because soon its going to be a case of "the boy who cried wolf" and when they genuinly want a player in attendance he or she wont bother turning up.
Any results fromthe Morris medal last night?

It seems that he took some style lessons on how to dress from Craig Ednie!
Note to all good players for 2008 season - dress like you just got off the harvester or woke up - It should mean your a cert come the count night :thumbsu:

Wang by 13 points! With blue boy McCormick back and the likes of the great Daine Porter, Griffin and Braden on the field Wang will bring it home by a claw! Although keeping Prior restrained will be vital to thwart North's chances of hopping in front.

Ben Cosgirff or David Steer will probably play on Prior, with the both of them very solid on Sunday. Wang by 16 points.

I went to about 4-5 games this year from Melbourne. Every game i went too - jackson was in dogs best 3. But i thought Shir would be top vote getter followed by Doswell on a late charge to lead the doggies board.
dogs B&F - 1.M Shir 2.B Doswell 3.R.Jackson 4.D Bradshaw

Can anyone tell me why the border mail has stopped reporting the footy on its website. Not just O & M, but all leagues and sport for that matter.
Pretty F*&%ing ordinary if you ask me. Supposed to be the leading paper on the border. The website is absolute shite!!!!!!
Would love to know who won the twos award last night and how the Corowa boys fared in the votes

Wangaratta's Carl Norton won the twos for the second year running and as for the Roo boys, Jake Ryan was third in the seniors with 18.
Lee Schmidt and Nic Raines were next best with about 7 apiece.

Pretty good side there Hitman but I would have Andrew Carey in the starting lineup and I would have Brad Horn in the side instead of Bush.

I cant believe Matt Shir only got 9 votes ! He would be one bloke (of a few) who would have walked away from the SS&A club last night a little confused. I seen him play a handful of times this year and he was by far the best player on the ground in at least four of those games, whether the dogs won or lost. He never even had a 3 vote game (2,2,2,1,2) ! I thought Doswell would have taken votes off him in the last few rounds but thought Shir would have finished top 5 at least. Anyway thats just my thoughts, happy to hear what others think.
PS- I am NOT Matt Shir

Mate KooKoo is right u must not of seen Andy Carey play, cos u r kidding yourself if he can't beat one player in that team. its a big statement to say who is the best footballer in the league ( by rights Johnny "hopper" McCormick should hold that mantle at present) but i would rate Andy better than him, Bit like Robbie Walker, due to him being able to play in almost any position on the ground. And he is an absolute match winner and can turn any game on its head. Pity he just had not much support this year!

Well said TU. I hope the umpires dont ruin what should be a great game. If they just stick to paying the free's that are there and dont go out looking to stamp their control on the game everything should go alright. They need to realise that whilst they are an important part of the day, thier role should be minute and 'unoticable' to an extent. In saying that, good luck to the boys in orange or whatever colour they are wearing :thumbsu:
