Ovens and Murray

[Gun Recruit]

Looks like the North Albury Cycle™ is going to kick in again. Save up some coin for a year or so, go all out and try and buy a flag, then the next year experience a mass exodus. Some of the players which look like they're going to be playing elsewhere next year, some allready confirmed:

Prior, Hilton, Mackie, Piltz, H Murray, R Murray, McLoughlan and Nichol.

Some quality there. Ouch.

Mackie is off to the SANFL with Woodsville-West Torrens, Obviously R Murray is coaching elsewhere in the Hume league. Every1 knows where Priors going. So cough up Panther, where are Hilton and Piltz going ? There is suspicion that Hilton is finished but yet to be confirmed, and Piltz would be a massive loss. H Murray prob back to Saints ? McLoughlan not a huge loss but would be a good pick up for a district team. As for Nichol, he isnt worth a pinch of shit, proved this again on GF day.

[BIGANT]

There was a whisper that former St.kilda and recently retired blue bagger Matthew Lappin was getting targeted strongly by Portland in the WBFL.
Although the wbfl is'nt as strong as the o'm - gv - gfl etc they did'nt have to advertise for coaches as they'd just come off back to back flags and are a strong team at club level.
With Lappin being a familiar name around the murray region has there been any clubs in the O'M talking to him !?

Think Hilton is confirmed, don't quote me mind you.

Piltz being heavily scouted by a couple of clubs I think, one being in Queensland, may even be up Cairns way. Always thought McLoughlan was only good in a good team, can cover him. Nichol's not exactly an elite player.

Strong word that H Murray is headed back to Saints.

There's a couple of other players with futures unknown at this stage. Nevertheless, they'll have to recruit well, hope they haven't exhausted their 'resources' a year too early again...

Edit: Forgot about Clint Gilson, he's gone.

Surely Wangaratta would be the only O&M club he'd even entertain playing for.

[Short Black]

Just 3 points for discussion;

1, I dont believe Wangaratta, or any other Club in the league for that matter, would pay out a players contract to sign him.

2, I think you'll find thatWang didn't want to have the GF investigated but were encouraged to by elements outside the club. ( even though what happened on GF day was over the top, I believe it should have been delt with on the day by the officials and not dragged on for weeks )

3, Matthew Lappin will not play O&M next year or Portland he lives down Mornington way and will not move far from there.

The cycle you speak about Panther, is no news flash. Most clubs can't afford to have a crack at winning it every year, restricted by $$ and availability of new recruits in any given year. North's "cycle" appears to have worked OK, with 4 grand final appearances in the 2000's for 1 win. Corowa could be said to have the same cycle with 2 gf appearances for 2 wins in 2000 & 2003 and not much since. Other clubs records in the 00's are Lavi 2 appearances, 2 wins, Wodonga 1-1, Rovers 1-0, Yarra, 1-1, Wang 1-1, Myrt 3-0. I'm sure North's fans are happy with the "cycle" of playing in a grand final every 2 years, and wouldn't swap their record for any of the clubs above bar Lavi & Corowa. The certainly wouldn't swap for the cycle of Albury & Raiders, with no gf appearances in a decade !

Oops, posted same message twice.

[Alter Ego]

[Matthew Lappin will not play O&M next year or Portland he lives down Mornington way and will not move far from there.
"Sparrow" should probably have his own thread given the number of clubs/leagues supposedly after him - Wang definitely not chasing him however he has been linked to Heidelberg (current NFL premiers) and Balwyn (1st Div EFL).

[Polkinghorne]

So where are all of these quality players heading to in 08?

Apart from prior is any of them going to clubs within the O&M?


Piltz = Jindera

and more to Raiders

[Glitter]

after watching the granny i agree there will be fireworks come round 1 in 08...what was really noticeable i thought whilst watching the game was the bloke in yellow boots (goode) would continuosly start fights and run away with his tail b/w his legs. needs to take a leaf outta his teammates book (mackie) if ur gonna start something u gotta back it up and not run the other way...

With Juddy on that one. Was having a good laugh at Goode all day watching the GF. Not sure who he thinks he is strutting around like he does but he'd wanna make sure he keeps that oversized chin of his tucked in next time they play the Maggies.
Mackie starts a few every now and then but at least he is man enough to follow through with his blues.

p.s Few posts on here about Wang. Juddy_08 you wouldn't happen to be a player in that Wang team with a not so subtle alias would you?

[Big Al 11]

Piltz = Jindera

and more to Raiders

Is Piltz to Jindera confirmed, would be very dominant in bush.

[Gun Recruit]

Piltz = Jindera

and more to Raiders

I would highly doubt Piltz is heading out to Jindera. He is far to good of a player at the moment to even contemplate dropping to a Hume league or equivilant standard. Even if he did go out to Jindera next year, which he wont, at the end of the 08' season he would have all 10 O&M clubs chasing him. As for the "more to raiders" comment, I have heard that one to, apparently Prior trying to get players like Brad Horn and Aiden Brown to the Raiders next season with him, word on the grape vine is that North has made Brown captain for next season so that they could keep him at Bunton Park, not sure how he would go but definitly a much improved player who would lead from the front.

nah just a carlton fan hence the juddy_08 (2008)

Piltz back to Myrtleford

You can have a period of sustained success without going out and (unsuccessfully) buying your way to the top. Lavington in the past ten years or so have missed the finals twice, from memory, with a policy of 'let them come to us'.

North Albury, on the other hand, have been up and down like Mick Lewis on an Adelaide Oval wicket. Time for an overhaul. Sometimes respect can buy you more flags than a hefty cheque book can.

On the Logue issue, heard he was all but signed with Culcairn but Hodgson had a word to him and said he'd be playing seniors at North if he stayed, and he looks like he's going to stay put.

Up & down !! Since 2000 Nths finishes have been 2,4,1,4,2,10,7 & 2. Apart from 2005, 2006 Mick Lewis is getting a fair bit of height off the Adelaide deck.
Of course Logue will play seniors if everyone leaves. Might even have to play more than one position at the same time.

[Buckster]

who is returning? paton??

Dont think That Paton bloke is returning - londons dance floors are more appealing then running around an oval!
Would be great to see thompson back on martin park - but i can confirm he wont!

[tory punder]

Kurt Gowers has told raiders he is moving on to pursue a business/leisure career on hamilton island next year.
Jared Kahlefeldt is also rumoured to be heading overseas next year to advance his studies.
Along with Mark Doolan and Leigh Corcoran already leaving who is gonna kick it to Prior??

[Aaron Fiora]

It has been confirmed today that Mark Doolan has signed with West Perth. I have heard of a very reliable source that he has asked Brendon Way, Paul Twycross and Commitee that he would like his number 12 jumper retired. This is due to apparently (and i quote) the fact that 'he has carried the club for four years' and he believes that "the club owes him".

However good luck to the bloke and all the best as he is trying to better his footy. The raiders will need to recruit well to cover his departure as i expect they will, but i'm not too sure if they can fill the void left by his ego.

Pull up a bit mate!! Do you really know Doog's or what?? Cos if you do you would know he is pretty quiet natured and I'm 99% sure he wouldn't of told the club that it "owes him". I could be wrong but I can't ever imaging the bloke being full of himself, unlike the Full Forward Raiders have just recruited!!

The big man aaron fiora returns to slander yet another high profile O&M player, first van shaik, now doolan.. criticism of van shaik may have been warranted, but mark happens to one of my best mates and you wouldnt meet a more modest and humble bloke in your footballing career. Fiora i reckon youre just jealous that he is a first class footballer and youre just a 2nd, no not even that, 5th rate nobody that cant even get a kick in country 2nds. you moron wake up to yourself get a kick!

Shattering news out of Myrtleford, Peter Burgess aka Sanga/Spook/Squiggle, has retired citing lack of passion and a need to explore horizons past Gaptsed.

Club said to be shellshocked, but his cult O&M following currently making a push to have the famous 12 retired and far wing renamed Spooks paddock.

I thought that Mossip has already signed with raiders for next year? and he only just got a new job with Waysie as well.
Its a shame if True as Mossip has had a good couple of years at raiders since he has been given the chance to play senior footy.

I thought he would have an even better year next year... Oh Well

Is he anygood? Did he play Seniors?

Yep. Tall fella like you said, played at albury, but i don't think we saw his best footy in his 2 years at the club. Came to us from rival club, lavi, and they were filthy he left cos they rated him. He did his knee in 2005 with them and has battled coming back from it. Ruckmen, doesn't mind a bit of crash and bash, skills aren't brilliant, but most blokes over 6'3 have that problem. still only 25-26 maybe, get him fit and he'll be handy i'd suggest.

[roast beef roll]

What a disgrace. Have you ever met the guy? One of the most modest, down to earth blokes you'll ever meet. Plays it hard on the field, top guy off it.

Perhaps i was a little harsh and yes i've met him. I was commenting more about his on field antics. carries on a bit for my liking, too much lip. much prefer the blokes who get the job done without making everyone aware of it. e.g maher, stevens, doolan, carey, mccormick... and prob any number of blokes we could mention.

My mistake about the spelling of his last name. Although when you put him in terms what what else raiders have had on offer in terms of the playing group over the last few years. He has done well. Even if he is a TOOL off the playing field.

Andrew Kellaway and Mark Dragacevic are on the radar, they said they wouldnt leave melbourne tho. Most likely travel up together on a thurs nite for the w/e along with a couple of mates (who play amatuers and are no spuds, apparently). Both ex-tiges offered ass' coaches roles.

I have been a regular reader this site for months but this is the most rediculous comment since Mid-September and therefore I thought I had better say that -

THE 2 PLAYERS MENTIONED ABOVE WILL NOT BE PLAYING AT YARRA.

TU - You can't just have a beer with someone, mention a club who you know someone else plays at and then put it on here as a chance recruit.

You need some substance.

Anyway, I'll keep reading but as some people may say "Keep it real!!"

[KokodaMidget]

main problem doolan will suffer from is his love of the punt. 9am bets in Perth may be the end him, mainly cos he is a poor punter. Good luck to him though, cos he should dominate in the footy

is lozza (lawrence) def signed there? cos i no him and he lives in syd where he manages a golf store which is the reason he lives there...he also used to live with michael hooper who just signed for wang...so itd be interesting to see if he did....

[Clean Bowled]

Hey Darc, what did you think of Jezza O'Brien by-passing Rovers on his way back to the O and M?

[Lavy_Panther]

Latest word in regards to North Albury's off field concerns is that Mark Hilton is close to signing with Jindera, not Culcairn as thought. He'll assess where his knee is and either go into retirement or have a kick at the 'Dogs. Jindera also close to signing a senior grade Lavington player and two seconds players.

Also, big news that an Ovens and Murray club is set to lose up to six senior players to the Sydney AFL in 2008. The struggling (on field) Balmain Dockers have set their sights on these guys and they'll be tough to be outbid. Stay tuned. Got a bit of dog in them, the ole Dockers. They're nuts.

You sure about Clint Runnals - pity he's already signed on for another two years at Abers.

[Bob31]

Shattering news out of Myrtleford, Peter Burgess aka Sanga/Spook/Squiggle, has retired citing lack of passion and a need to explore horizons past Gaptsed.

Club said to be shellshocked, but his cult O&M following currently making a push to have the famous 12 retired and far wing renamed Spooks paddock.
Thats disapointing, i would have thought Carey would have been the biggest loss for the Saints next year. The will need to recruit well to cover Burgess as well.

To me North Albury coach Hodgson seems to be getting off lightly at the moment.

Considering he left North initially to look after himself (and coach) and saw a sinking ship, went to Myrtleford to coach and walked out on a contract and left them in a a terrible state of affairs and now 2 months after a GF he has North Albury facing a crisis.

Is there something to it, is he causing the trouble??? Because it seems to me that even with relative success at 2 clubs there seems to be no harmony at all.

Everyone seems to think he is some coaching legend but players seem to tire of him very quickly......or am I reading to much into it considering I have nothing to do with North or Myrt?

Interested to know some thoughts.

Not only players but assist. coaches are leaving too apparently

[Bright Boy]

Not much happening over the past few days.

Any further player movements / club recruits??

[Bright Boy]

The Myrtleford Times had an article about Hayden Murrays signing and it was mentioned about 10 new confirmed players.

Anyone got some names?

[Winmar_07]

main problem doolan will suffer from is his love of the punt. 9am bets in Perth may be the end him, mainly cos he is a poor punter. Good luck to him though, cos he should dominate in the footy
Pfft... Most over rated O & M player i have ever seen!! Will go ok at WAFL but won't star.. Good in tight but thats about it..

[KokodaMidget]

Winmar, you're back, how did your stint in rehab go? Heard you hit it pretty heavily after a few of us owned you throughout July/August....how many more stupid comments are you likely to make before years end...?

[rowger]

"The most overated player in the O&M I have ever seen" / "Will go OK at WAFL" Winmar, that is a fair old contradiction. Any player that will be servicable in the WAFL would suggest they would be a quality player in the O&M. I believe Reece Fitzpatrick from Myrtleford was a two's player in the WAFL, he has been more than servicable in the O&M.

It seems the Yarra departures are more likely to happen than most of the inclusions. Is it becuase of the new coach most guys are leaving?

[Sheegers]

Anybody heard any news about any player signings for the two wodonga clubs?

So much for raiders being in the hunt for next year, they started training on Monday night with only one new face, Prior! He maybe a great forward.. But who is going to kick it to him, The other team?

YES!

[daniel kerr jr]

rumour has it the kennal is losing 2 bright young players for next season in Luke " the sniper, the hitman, the human cannonball, the animal, the pig" Bloom and Craig Lieske. With the boys rumoured to be heading to the gold coast to pursue life long dreams of becoming professional surfers good luck to the boys.

[Hitman01]

can anyone tell me about the in and out goings from tigerland? they have been pretty quiet so far...?

[Tigerrr_Uppercut]

Secret weapon the Liquorman is coming off a year's sabbatical to terrorise O & M full backs in the Tiger's goalsquare. Has deceptive pace (he's slower than you think) but is proven goalkicker in WAFL, NFL and a previous stint in the O & M.

[Mongoose]

Is that you Reece?
Pretty sure Rhys would know how to spell his own name????

[Bob31]

Spoke to Rhys the other day, is very keen to have a big year with the Saints and looks super fit.

[Silver_kid]

Spoke to Rhys the other day, is very keen to have a big year with the Saints and looks super fit.

Looks like he could turn it on with some strong support around him in 08 from the new recruits (purse boys etc...)

Heard a few younger tigers players have been approached by clubs up north...then again, who isn't at the moment

Is this Mr Shearer your talking about? Coz he has a body that rivals harold bishop's so im told, well and truly past his prime. So should fit into the tigers line up very nicely :rolleyes:

[petro civoniceva]

Rory Muggivan and Sam Duck have signed at lavi, Mitch Carrol and luke Daly have signed at culcairn, Charles Gaylard has resigned but force others to take paycuts to keep him at tigerland after finishing runner up in the B&F to Mark Bush who isn't a real person i may add

Hard but fair.
Still the only top level F/F I have seen who can kick a lazy six and eat hot chips at the same time.

[big fella 37.5]

damian lang back in his day would rival him...and i think a certain full forward for the doggies at the moment would also have something to say about, i spose he could kick 8 and eat the chips plus 2 hot dogs....(hoggy would go put himself on bradshaw to get some of the crumbs from the chips and the hot dogs)

i heard mark hilton offered to stay on one more season at nrth but said could only play full forward because of his knee situation, which is fair enough. But big bad bustling hoggy told him to hit the highway because 'that is where he plays'

news just in!! That nrth will only be fielding a seconds and thirds team this year due to lack of players?? confirm deny? much like the corowa rutherglen netball situation last season! :eek:

[Tigerrr_Uppercut]

And hows about the penda call?? in the paper today! told ya. yeah ole' T_U gets a bit of credability back! get that into ya Darc

Credibility doesn't get restored by telling people it has been restored mate.
Best to wait until the credit is delivered.

Well done on telegraphing the news though.
