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:
Thats bullshit Tiger you obviously have never had any dealings with Travis!He would never say that!

[Darc21]

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

What have I got to do with this? Honestly mate, don't understand why you've got this obsession with me. But kudos on predicting 'Penda's' initiation into Myrtleford's every second year spending spree in search of success. With the tobacco pullout and the drought, one wonders where the Saints get their funds from?

Mytrleford is the smallest town in the league and up against some pretty big rivals. They have no choice but to throw a bit of cach every couple of years. If they didn't they would be no competition. It's hard to keep recruits in myrtleford becuase the town is so small and has a lack of employment oppurtunities. Thy have some very generous people around the club and with out them the club would struggle to survive. Good luck to them!

[half time raffle]

Welcome news for Corowa/Rutherglen with the return of Craig Taft, surely this is one of the biggest signings of the preseason to date, he was an absolute star of the competition!

With Sam Carpenter coming on board as well the roos will have one of the most potent onball brigades in the league - Ryan, Raines, Carpenter, Schmidt and Renyoldson - plenty of class there

[arceri]

Don't forget about yourself Cade. You go alright.

Yeah David Johnston has apparently taken leave from the BM and is persuing a television media career in the big smoke. He has been spotted around Melbourne and Sydney Hotspots wining and dining with some of televisions bigwigs

eg. Tracy 'the grimreaper' Grimshaw Anna 'hadrcore' Corrin and Naomi 'the horse' Robson. Word on the street is he has been touted as the replacement for today's morning shows's Carl Stephanovic

Good luck to the D-man if he does choose to further his career, im am sure his absolute sterling journalism work he has done for the border mail wont be forgotten..;)

Doesn't matter anyway, most of the breaking O&M stories are posted on here first, especially anything to do with Corowa Rutherglen. Something fishy about the relationship between the BM football dept & the Roos.....

yeah i think the "super rules" veteran comp is running a tournament in May - he would prob get a guernsey in that.....
His last year in O+M - he was a typical old cranky footballer running around chasing arse allday and getting frustrated at the drop of a hat...

won his last in 2003. pretty sure he played after that. dont get me wrong - absolute legend of country football and o+m - but i saw him play at the end and it was not the way robbie walker would like to be remembered.....

[half time raffle]

Pretty sure Robbie's last game was the elimination final at Yarrawonga in 2003

[Buckster]

i think your on the money - it was finals football i was watching. it might have been that actaull game against yarra - he struggled. but still in the top 2-3 o+m players of all time. Anyway the the point of my initial quote - stay on the sidelines robbie!

[forward pocket]

I was just reading Hume league thread as I have some mates that play in that league. Firstly is Jocka really playing for Walla?? Wasn't he Myrtleford? Secondly, is the mentioned Dale Carroll to Holbrook x-Albury?? I know it's country footy but how would they go, both ex o and m and I haven't seen them in a while and I'd think 1 would be fit and the other would be well, still playing in the mid-field. Some great experience for 2 clubs either way.

Definate RE Carroll and is ex-Albury premiership player, signed as Manny's ac. Will be good for the young Holbrook side to learn from a quality footballer in DC. :thumbsu:

I think everyone is forgetting something. He quit because he had a badly injured neck/back so if he wasn't performing at his absolute best he had a good reason. Surely if he is over this problem he can certainly be more than just a good player again at the rovers considering he will prepare like no one else ever has.

Surely if he is over this problem he can certainly be more than just a good player again at the rovers considering he will prepare like no one else ever has.

We're not forgetting. He is the greatest O and M player of all time.
I didn't get to see him play until near the end of his career (2001-03), but I'm privileged to be able to say I did.
An absolute champion, however, he is now 38 or 39? and although he would be a good player again, it would be near impossible for him to regain what he had.
And I'm almost certain he wouldn't want to come back to just be a bit player.
If Robbie Walker came back, I hope he'd prove me wrong, but I think he'd be best served with his mates the Wilsons at Tarrawingee or somewhere like that teaching the young guys coming through rather than putting his reputation on the line by trying to play O&M seniors again.

The analogy that springs to mind is Tony Lockett - the greatest goalkicker in VFL/AFL history, but a lot of people remember him for his failed comeback in 2002.

There is no need to do it, Robbie.

Whats the news with the raiders. they signed prior for big money and now everyone is departing. not happy times down there by the sounds of it. can anyone inform me of why?

I can only give you my thoughts on why everyone is leaving!!!!
I think its because the club has been telling its players for the last 3 years or so that they are chasing big name players. And they always fall over when they are just about to put pen to paper. Because nobody wants to go and play for the almost wooden spoon club every year.

And when Waysie left the club the first time after Whip departed he took up to 15 of their 2nd/senior players with him to chiltern. And raiders have never managed to get their stocks up since. And the club has a tendency to be cheap when approching players, this is why raiders have alot of young blood and 2nd tier players.

I have heard that raiders got away cheaply with Prior because they offered him that admin role. And he needed to get some type of formal training behind him.

From what i hear, Raiders need to sign alot more strong players otherwise at the end of next season they will lose what senior players that have left.

on what basis do you conclude that the players that have left raiders have left on bad terms? from my knowledge the players that have left this year have had genuine reasons and are moving out of the area. doolan to perth, gowers to hamilton island, corcoran to canada and their are a few others that may be leaving the area also for different reasons not related to footy. i agree raiders need to sign some more strong players to be competetive but the players that are there are committed to the club and trying to improve. its definately not a case of everyone being sick of whats going on and the club struggling as reasons for players leaving

[fairlane]

Not having ever held down a job for long enough I wouldnt know but it would have to be 30k or up you would think. Didnt Hoggy say in the paper that north could maatch the job money but not the footy money

[DanielJohns]

you obviously have no idea sheegers, Prior was offered plenty and from what I hear Raiders have been pretty generous with their offers. There appears to have been a bit of bad luck regarding recruiting players and obviously Doolan going is bad timing. I hear that things are going along pretty well and generally everyone is happy with those in charge.

North matched the job and $700 a game....so Raiders went to $1000 a game plus $2000 sign on.

[Hornie]

North matched the job and $700 a game....so Raiders went to $1000 a game plus $2000 sign on.

The biggest question is not what he is paid as a player but can he do the job off the ground. Hopefully he is given a good support network as he will need it to complete the role.

Hard enough with a proven administrator than a player with no experience.

most of the players are leaving because they are sick of losing games as you can imagine no one likes losing and its not like they are improving by the looks they will be much worse this year they have only won something like 10 games in the last 4 years and with nearlly half there senoir team from last year leaving and only 2 recruits they are really battling from what i herd there numbers at pre season have been ordinary as well

Most team numbers at pre season fluctuate, particularly before Xmas, however im sure like most clubs they would like more players there, however, they won't be the only club with small numbers training at the moment.

Dunno if they are not improving, pretty sure they won more games last year than the year previous, including wins over sides that finished in the top 5. If memory serves me correct, they beat Wodonga before the Dogs went on their winning streak in the later rounds of the year.

[YVETTEKIBBEY]

Can someone up that way help me out in regards to some info on a player that has moved to our neck of the woods his name is brett/brad davis and he played at corowa/rutherglen i believe. Your input on type of player and form most revently would be much appreciated.:thumbsu:

Can we get some people posting on each clubs comings and goings so far?

Darc - you can start us off with the Rovers. Who have they picked up apart from Norman?

[Bob31]

Myrtleford have lost Carey and McFarlane and retained the rest + added a couple. Look for Tom Ivone to step up to Senior level as a Key forward, training the house down at the moment.

I think the main aim was to keep most of last year's list together which has been achieved. Apart from Karl, the only other new fella at the club is Jake Platfuss, ex bushies boy and might have won or come 2nd in Finley's B&F last season as an 18 year old. Comes with big wraps and will be an asset. Cristoforo, Silver, McIntyre, Webb and Hill are all going round again for another year. Forward line is looking potent with Cristoforo, Silver, Ross and Andy Hill and now Norman. Wont see many better in the league!

Not really mate just the purss boys who will be very handy!

I hear that Wangaratta Magpies have signed smith and hooper from the sanfl and have retained basically the entire 2007 premiership squad. Even mccormick now sounds like he will be there for round 1 rather than mid year. Kirby carmody and henry are all going around again. They will be very short odds to go back to back.

The prospect of another big season for the club might be too enticing for mccormick to miss out on. Have also just heard that wang have signed a 3rd sanfl player in the last week or 2. Where's all their cash coming from??

Just remember, they have some pretty well off businessman around town who have been starved of success for about 30 years.

I am sure if they can see a light at the end of the tunnel, and were asked nicely enough for a donation, a fair few hands would dig deep into pockets.

They may even see themselves as a slight chance to match the Rovers in their golden eras. There does seem to be similar names running around for the magpies now, as was with the Rovers back then!

Who cares where footy clubs get their cash from, winning attracts people and the pies are definatley doing that

[captain peanut]

I can only hope the pies are headed for a similar era. Seeing flag no. 1 in my lifetime was another life event now ticked off. But a few more would be nice. I am already looking forward to round 2 next year and making the trip up the freeway to see the pies unfurl the flag in front of the mob from across the road.

Well put Sparra. Who cares how clubs get there money. The fact is every club has there top players getting paid well. It's just attracting quality players that's the trouble for most.

Wang seem to have targeted some top players that have come through with the goods so good luck to them and hopefully they do have some further sucess.

Peaunut who is this 3rd SANFL player your talking off? The pies look to be shaping up alright for next year.

Can anyone list any other inclusions to the other clubs there hasn't been much in the news lately.

Corowa look as though they'll be up there in '08.

Depends whether he can get a regular gig over there after dancing his way through carnivale in Feb.

The boy can dance

I just thought that was a nice play on words

Hello all,

This is my first posting having recently discovered this stream.

I am an ex-Alburian (the city, not the FC) and up until I left 2 years ago, had an active interest in the O&M.

From the western side of the border I can inform you of a few things:-

* I can confirm (although It may not need confirming) that Joel Mackie is with Woodville/West Torrens. I saw him myself in the supermarket (with Woodville player Mark McKenzie).

* Brad Murray will be staying at Port Adelaide. I understand (second hand info) that he signed at least a two year contract...Last year

* Simon McCormack (Ex North Albury, Ex Wodonga) has been made West Adelaide vice-captain where he will play alongside captain Nathan Brown (Ex Melbourne) and Ben Hollands (Ex North Albury, Ex Wodonga). Simon won a lot of respect in a poor team this year. No wonder they made him a leader in what should be a vastly improved team next year.

Just in case you lot didn't know

That couldnt be true. I was told the reason Jock left was because Beams was so full of himself and he couldnt stand him.

[Roughy]

Can anyone tell me if Mark Lambertini is still playing in the area?

[Jonathon Brown]

That couldnt be true. I was told the reason Jock left was because Beams was so full of himself and he couldnt stand him.
I think everyone knows why Mcfarlane left and it had nothing to do with Beams!!

[Where It All Began]

What's going on at tigerland, ok, they've picked up some recruits, but have missed out on what may well be some handy players.

Apparently they were looking the goods to recruit Luke Northon-Smith and Sam Terlich, only to see them go to Lavington and North Albury and lost James Brain to North as well.

Brain will be a good pick-up for North, gutsy and great mark for his size and generally has very good skills, the Tigers would have been expecting big things from him this season!
