Ovens and Murray

[Lavy_Panther]

Panthers over 'Dogs.
Yarra to beat Albury
Mountain Men over Corowa
North to beat Raiders
Rovers over Magpies.

The comp this year is as even as I've seen it for a while, everyone in the top five can beat each other and the bottom five are giving them a red-hot run for their money.

[Scope]

Just shows how little you know and you would probably want to get a new source to get your info off, cause the source that your getting your info off at the moment stinks.....I think you'll find you and your source a way off.

I can't see why anyone from myrt, or any other club would, want to go and play for bunch of green and gold (worst jumpers in the comp by a very long way) parrots like nth albury, and who would want to say that they play for a team called "the hoppers". That whole club wreaks of uglyness.

I don't know why you are getting your back up so much Mongoose, just shows you must be pretty worried Hoggy might be flying the coop.
My sources are pretty honest, and they're pretty confident he might come back to us next year. And I hope they're right because we need to get rid of Lambert, the young blokes need a change.
I don't think the colour of your jumper or name of your club has much bearing on whether you would play there or not. Your comments just wreak of an un-educated young punk who's best form of defence is to put people down.
Quite pathetic really, and most of your comments suggest this.

[Scope]

Sorry Scope to give you the bad news but i hear a Hodgson has already signed. Dunno why you are bagging out the myrt boys. I think it is good to see them at the top of the ladder and hope they carry on with next year aswell.

I haven't once bagged out the Myrt boys POJ, In fact I think you'll find I actually prasied you guys after watching you beat us in the seniors and reserves at Bunton Park a few weeks ago.
And this might intrest 'In the mix's' comments about locals getting the rough end, becuase we would happily have a handful of the guys they had running around in the 2s that day. They would be walk up starts in our 1s.

Yeah i know you were not bagging myrt scope, just responding to RBR in regards to his comments about them looking for a spot in the O&K.I dont think Nth will see Hoggy next year!!! Sounds like Lambert is a bit of a tool!

No need to cry scope... I'm not worried champ, it's just that i know a bit more than you on the topic you brought up.

I think that blokes would rather where your pretty little pink gurnsey's that you were against albury, than those stinkin things u were every game.

The pink jumpers are to support breast cancer research so I hardly think you can have a crack at us for that.
It's a very nobel thing to do and I'm proud North Alb are a part of a wonderful cause.
Maybe you should think before you speak sometimes Mongoose, you're a bit out of your depth.

I wasn't having a crack at nth for wearing the pink jumpers, i was knocking the ones that you wear, and mearly said the blokes would rather wear the pinks ones and not the terrible ones that you currently wear.

Agreed it is a nobel thing that nth have done, all credit to them.

The pink actually suits some of nth albury players.

Hey guys can anybody tell me how peter taylor is goin at wangaratta rovers? i hope he returns to cohuna as he was handy for us does he seem settled at wangaratta, i also heard david bourke is playin in ovens and murray how has been goin

[cussernaut]

You would nt describe that as an arrogant and disrespectful way to go about your football!?

probably more disrespectful for people to spread rumors that aren't true and have a crack at the culture of a club they dont know anything about. Easy to put the boot in teams when theyre down.

No rumour cussernaut it came straight from the gate attentands mouth! The Myrtleford president had to go into the change rooms to collect money!The same team tried it against Yarra 2 weeks earlier!Pretty poor form!!!!!

Thanks POJ, maybe you need to get your facts right cussernaut. It is an extreme act of respect and I confirmed that it did happen also from one of the directors during the week.

To hear that they have tried it before is a very ordinary effort.

[September]

Can anyone tell me if Mick Wilson is still playing in the region?
Does anyone know if he is still involved with the sport and rec course at TAFE?
Heard he was stood down, can anyone confirm?

[Lavy_Panther]

Thoughts on introducing a heritage round in '07?

Would love to have the Blues running around again.

You can say that again!! Sounds like this game was a cracker!

What's going on at Myrtleford?
That is a really bad loss for them at this time of year, they should be starting to crank it up now?
Will they get B Murray and A Carey back after the bye?
Also noticed S Nightingale, M Murray and B McIntrye all playing reserves and named in best. They'd have to be in Myrt's best side by all reports?
And can anyone tell us people out of the loop what is going on with the coach, is he staying put or heading back over here on the Border?

The coach will be staying at Myrtleford. (thats the end of that topic)

Cant tell you what happened to the Saints on Saturday. By the sounds of things they were just beaten by a better side on the day. I am sure they will bounce back

[off the cuff]

Anyone got any predictions for this week?

Here are mine:
Rovers by 8 points over magpies

Massive win by the Rovers...112 points - Cristoforo booted 8 & A.Hill kicked 6,but it was the amasing accuracy the rovers had - 32.5.197! not to mention a 21 goal 2nd half!

[hammer_time]

"Yarra have twice as many melbourne blokes and It would be interesting to know their connection to the town."

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
There are 10 players travelling from Melbourne to play for Myrtleford each week. Bunn, McKee, Fitzpatrick, Cartwright, Bourke, McNamara, T.Purss, Brown, Watson, Peters.
interesting you can say that with obviously little or no knowledge on the club at all. A large number of players are locals and have played all their junior footy with the club; Craig Ednie, Luke Hammond, Tyler Bonat, Matt Grinter, Marc Lonergan, Dean Bigger, Xavier Leslie, Bernard Price, Ross Mulquiney... majority of the others live and work in the town e.g. Tim Hargreaves, Jason Wild, Dallas Gallagher, Matt Wollington, Nick O'Bryan, Paul Banch, Simon Rudd, Marcus McMillian... The only couple of names that come to mind with no real connection to the club are Lawrence Furlan and Rick James. 20 blokes from melbourne is a huge exageration don't you think?

[BonnScott]

How many yarra blokes live in Melbourne and travel up to play Hammer_time?

[harsh, but fair]

More bad news for the Saints on the back page of The Border Mail tomorrow.

[Bourky23]

care to give more info?? not from around ur way so i won't get to read the BM but follow the saints and ur league as much as i can

[hammer_time]

How many yarra blokes live in Melbourne and travel up to play Hammer_time? 5 maybe 6

[roast beef roll]

More bad news for the Saints on the back page of The Border Mail tomorrow.

been a bit said on this forum over the last few weeks bout the coach changing camps, perhaps the paper will reveal whether he is heading back into town or not. If so it'd be an interesting story leading into a finals series.

Or perhaps 1 of the blokes out injured is not gunna make it back!

We'll wait and see.

[Here It Is]

My Top 10 players after round 15.

1. Kade Stevens (Lavington) 68
2. Anthony Tucci (Wangaratta Rovers) 66
3. Dale Carmody (Wangaratta) 65
4. Rhys Fitzpatrick (Myrtleford) 58
5. Daniel Leslie (North Albury) 57
6. Calan McClay (Albury) 56
7. Matt Witherden (Corowa-Rutherglen) 55
8. Jason Wild (Yarrawonga) 53

Two weeks for swearing at a Boundary umpire. Its abit sus when the Boundary umpire is from Corowa (Kade Kuschert's sister). She should not be able to umpire her own team. Two weeks is a little bit harsh i think.

That is absolute bull****. 2 weeks and the swearing was nt even directed at the umpire, if she handle that sort of language **** off and go shoe shopping.

A Carey will definitely be back after the bye and B Murray is also a good chance. B McIntyre will probably get the call up as the suspended T Purss was the back up ruckman. S Nightingale and M Murray would also both have to be very close to a recall however I doubt there will be five changes.

[BonnScott]

5 maybe 6

I have "heard" that there is 12-15 and they train with one of the GV teams that also has a large amount of travellers, can anyone confirm this or confirm the amount of travellers for yarra?

[BonnScott]

That is absolute bull****. 2 weeks and the swearing was nt even directed at the umpire, if she handle that sort of language **** off and go shoe shopping.

Could nt agree more freak. 2 weeks for language is disgusting. He must have flew right off? I was at the game and it was nt event noticed I got told at the pub that night. Anyone know what was said? I honestly believe as a O & M supporter, but living closer to Myrt than any other team they do get a raw deal. Not that umpires are ever byest though:confused:

If the umpire is Kade Kuscherts sister then that is a disgrace! Under no cicumstances should she be allowed to umpire Corowa! Its not her fault it is the responsibilty of the O&M and would make you very sus when Corowa receive several free kicks at centre bounces given by her when the game is up for grabs!!!!!

Spot on Jack. You have the league trying to appear professional in its severe punishment of a minor misdemeanour, but failing to operate professionally, being unable to carry out the simple task of allocating impartial umpires. T Purss has got the rough end of an O&M error.

Might have been some contentious decisions, but you can take nothing away from Corowa. They were very hard at it all day and deserved their win. Old Nickelback Ambrose decided to show up on Saturday and had another great day.

[Pearce off Jack]

Some great news for Myrtleford in the Border 2morrow!!!

and why is it a disgrace POJ? isnt it logical for her to stay with her family? there is no problem with it, all umpires are neutral, there is never any thought of bias to any team. they were legitimate calls, were you even at the game? Purss got what he deserved, no one deserves what she was called, and with the numbers situation of umpires, abuse turns more and more ppl away!!

[maclurem]

That is absolute bull****. 2 weeks and the swearing was nt even directed at the umpire, if she handle that sort of language **** off and go shoe shopping.

how the hell would you know whether it was directed at her or not? that language was uncalled for!! no one deserves to be called what she was called!! there is no room for this kind of behaviour anywhere on the football field!!

Yes i was at the game maclurem!That is a ridiculous statement that she should be with her family, if she or anyone else wants to umpire they should be allocated without preference(eg with her family). This job is hard enough without bringing family loyalty into it! As for neutral umpires that is a load of sh** just ask the umpires at the Myrt V Albury game that were heard saying i hope Albury can hang on at quarter time huddle!Guess who was in front at quarter time?

so you being at the game would realise that they were legitimate calls!! with umpire numbers the way they are, having her travel with corowa and being based in corowa is an invaluable asset to our umpiring ranks!! What job is hard?

why is neutral umpires a load of ****? so what if they said oh i hope albury can hang on, that doesnt mean they would favour albury!! i have followed albury all my life, and i always hope they win, but i have never thought of favouring them in any way shape or form, and that is the same perspective of every umpire!! none of us ever show bias to any team!!

If an umpire is NEUTRAL then they would not hope for any result as it wouldnt bother them!

[maclurem]

i thought this might be your response POJ, nothing at all!!

[maclurem]

If an umpire is NEUTRAL then they would not hope for any result as it wouldnt bother them!
being NEUTRAL means not showing any bias or favouritism towards any team!!

results dont bother us, we have our opinion on who we would like to see win, and who we think deserves to win on the day!!

Weak as **** by you "maclurem". Language like that is voiced on every ground in every state. Week in week out and you know it. 2 weeks is a joke. You gonna tell me you don t hear language every weekend when you umpire directly or indirectley!? There d be knowone left if that was the case. Umpires could play kick to kick together. Obviously my ears played up on the weekend, what was so obscene it warranted 2 weeks??

why am i weak as ****? of course language is voiced on the ground everywhere in australia every saturday and sunday, but this language was directed specifically at her!! and was totally uncalled for!! of course i hear language, but it is not needed, and not tolerated if it comes from players directed specifically at umpires!!

so i am seriously losing the point of even debating with you

i said i like to seem them have a bit of success, i have grown up following albury and i played for them in juniors before i became an umpire, i dont have a preference, i like to see them have success, and i would never show any bias towards them in any shape or form, which may i remind you was the thing we were debating about!!

Pull your head POJ, you are a tool.

If she couldn't do the local game, she wouldn't do it at all & neither would others who had to travel uneccessarily.

if that happens the o&m would ask home teams to supply all officials for the respective games. then your back to the start again.

If you pr**ks would just stop moaning about how hard done by you always are, then there wouldn't be a problem.

As for tristan, got what he deserved... i'm waiting to see whether the myrt crew gather $25k and take it to the appeals board like the murray case 06.

Murray should have got 3-4 for smacking bridges in 06, he ended up getting his punishment a few weeks later when his man was named BOG in their heart breaking loss.

D. Leslie copped a similar suspension for the same thing earlier in the year, he's over it.
tristan needs realise he stuffed up and get over it too, and more importantly so do you.

as for the heart breaking loss 06

Suffer!:eek:

[fondest tozzy]

I have a proposal to increase crowds, popularity, player payments, and standard in all state league clubs. Think of a world cup format competition held every 2 years with clubs qualifying depending on their respective ladder placement.

top 10 from VFL

top 6 from SANFL

top 6 from WAFL

top 4 from AFLQ

top 3 from NSW/ACT

top 2 from Tasmania

top 1 from NTFL

This makes up 32 teams. top 8 clubs are seeded into separate groups. AFL could provide money to set up and prizemoney to clubs.

ALL leagues could finish 4-5 weeks earlier to fit into this tournament.
All games played in the one area like soccer world cup. crowds would be big. huge interest.

it is battle of best teams outside afl.

to qualify, players must play minimum 4 games throughtout the season for the clunb (including AFL listed players)

what does everyone think?

[Lavy_Panther]

Yeah hang on lads, the umpire didn't give him two weeks, she reported him.

As mentioned earlier, Dan Leslie got suspended for a similar offence, so I see no issues with consistency.

Bringing in the umpire's family ties and/or gender is unequivocally irrelevant.

Bad news for the Hoppers with Dan Leslie to miss the rest of the year with his troublesome finger, needs surgery.

[Captain Jack Sparrow]

Think you'll find the others who were carrying on earlier are looking for any excuse to blame others! Lets not respond to there sh*t attidudes on this subject anymore.

4get all this bitching about umpires. Roast Beef Roll we will see who steps up in September. You obviously have something against the saints.

I have a proposal to increase crowds, popularity, player payments, and standard in all state league clubs. Think of a world cup format competition held every 2 years with clubs qualifying depending on their respective ladder placement.

top 10 from VFL

top 6 from SANFL

top 6 from WAFL

top 4 from AFLQ

top 3 from NSW/ACT

top 2 from Tasmania

top 1 from NTFL

This makes up 32 teams. top 8 clubs are seeded into separate groups. AFL could provide money to set up and prizemoney to clubs.

ALL leagues could finish 4-5 weeks earlier to fit into this tournament.
All games played in the one area like soccer world cup. crowds would be big. huge interest.

it is battle of best teams outside afl.

to qualify, players must play minimum 4 games throughtout the season for the clunb (including AFL listed players)

what does everyone think?
That's a fantastic idea i am all for it but it would be hard to get it going, also it would give A.F.L clubs a chance to look at some unseen talent

Not really, it just seems that they are the only club the gets much attention in the media (which i know you can't control) and on this forum, so i happily comment on it. i'd be more than happy to get my claws into any of the others.

To be honest i'm happy for the saints to be doing well, it's a huge effort considering the size of the town, full credit to the club and the community. Obviously it's a very well run club and a lot of people do their bit to make it work, hats off!

But i do have something against, whinging and unreasonable people like yourself, who can put as much sh*t on here as they please and not be questioned about their agenda.
I think that's where you've got things mixed up!

lets worry bout july and august before september enters our minds!;)

T. Hodgson has signed as coach of Myrtleford for two more years.
The Saints are rejoicing tonight.

Good luck with all that, obviously you have had plenty of time to think about such an event. I just wanna be in the room when you gather all necessary parties together and explain how all this works. Once again good luck!

U mite wanna ask a few people about the idea of finishing 4-5 weeks earlier, not sure the cricket fans of the country will be real impressed!

Any fresh links with the Hoppers job?

Wouldn't mind seeing Bomber Hilton take the reins in a capt/coach role.

MaclureM and Milk, you are a goose! get off this forum, you're starting to really annoy me just like you do on a Saturday afternoon!
One thing is for sure I would hate to go to war with the umpire fraternity if calling a girl a B**** is seen to be the end of the world.
Good stuff Pearce of Jack!!!

[quote=Pearce off Jack]As for tristan, got what he deserved... i'm waiting to see whether the myrt crew gather $25k and take it to the appeals board like the murray case 06.

Murray should have got 3-4 for smacking bridges in 06, he ended up getting his punishment a few weeks later when his man was named BOG in their heart breaking loss.


I wish someone would smack you in the head you whining little girl - go have another roast beef roll you fat loser.

I hope Myrt stick it up you and win it this year and Murray lays someone else on his back in the finals..... and gets away with it!!!

[Pearce off Jack]

Great to hear Travis Hodgson is all but over the line with the Hoppers next year.
Who will he bring with him from Myrtleford.
I heard he has a few!
Good sources scope!

Hey hot cross bunn, i seen the incident and he hardly even touched the little skirt, and if he is going to try and tag someone then he would want get used to coping a love tap every now and then.

Scope why didnt nth give hoggy the job when Lambert retired two tears ago?They obviously want a playing coach and seem to have made a huge mistake in keeping Lambert on and letting Hodgson,McCormick and probably a few others go?

Ahhh Myrtleford supporters, they're a funny bunch.

I will stick up for the Hoppers a bit this year.
They had ****e year in 2005, granted, but they set about rectifying the situation pretty well.
They got Dan Leslie back from Perth and also signed his mate Kurt Niklaus, but he bailed on the eve of the season in a rotten stroke of luck.
Niklaus will play for Vic Country this weekend so he can obviously play.
Sam Nevins, who rucked last year and finished top three in the b and f, was also set to stay until he received a second round uni placement in Melb which left the Hoppers without a No.1 ruckman as well before round one.
They signed a full-forward Tony Pierri who was on fire until he broke his wrist about six weeks ago when they were looming up as a finals chance after a slow start to the year.
Joel Mackie, one of their best players, a midfielder, also did his knee so bad it needs a reco about round four.
Clint Gilson, who was also going to be a regular senior player, has also undergone a knee reco.
Also Adam Prior was set to stay at Hopper Park until he got taken with the very last pick in the pre-season draft.
Imagine a goal-to-goal line of Aydan Brown, Mark Hilton, Joel Mackie, Adam Prior or Dan Leslie at CHF, Pierri and a first ruck division of Nevins, Niklaus and Bush.
Definite finals material in my eyes.
Corey Lambert can't be held responsible for so many bad breaks before and during the year.

I was not bagging Nth Albury i was just saying that they had the perfect opportunity to sign T.Hodgson when Lambert retired from playing but they chose to let him and some other senior players go.If they were so keen to keep Hodgson then why did this happen?I believe at the time of Lamberts retirement Nth stated that they would prefer a playing coach!Is this correct Harsh but Fair?

[harsh, but fair]

I can't recall North Albury making the blanket statement they would prefer a playing coach when in fact they re-appointed Corey as a non-playing coach.
Wouldn't make any sense.
Travis Hodgson was red-hot to coach at the end of 2004 when North Albury made the grand final under Corey.
Corey couldn't do much more than make a grand final in 2004 because Wodonga was a special to win it given the players they acquired after losing the grand final the previous year.
Corey deserved another go so Travis had to look elsewhere.
Brent Piltz needed a change because his footy was getting stale at North Albury and is playing some of his best footy as a defender which is not a position he played at North Albury because of the presence of Brown and Hilton.
He was an obvious recruiting target for Travis and he headed to the hills as well.
Corey and Simon McCormick had a major parting of the ways at the end of 2003.
Simon never said the reason for his defection to Wodonga was the fallout with Corey, but everyone knew it was the case.

Thanks you make a very good arguement for Corey Lambert,maybe you could be his advocate in his discussions for the coaching job at Nth.

It seems you're a bit upset ITM, sounds like i may have struck a nerve, perhaps i'm getting a bit close to the truth!

Fair call,

mind you if he's gunna run round giving a love tap every now and then, he would want to get used to coping a week or 2 every now and then!

[roast beef roll]

They might be a funny bunch Panther but at least they have some!

have to agree with you panther, yes a funny bunch!

have to agree with you as well POJ, bit of a rough call panther considering you could find more beers in a slab then panthers supporters at the footy.

[Lavy_Panther]

At least they have some what? A premiership? ;)

who are you ITM to be throwing around comments like this? after ppl have said lets forget this topic. just coz some people like to voice their opinion and defend their fellow members, what is wrong with that?

on to proper issues, can the panthers do it again this year? could they challenge the current front runners that no one else can seem to look past myrtleford and yarra? or maybe if albury can manage to string together 4 quarters regularly, they might challenge the top teams? what are everyone else's thoughts?

I think anyone in the top five could take it out this year if they hit top form at the right time, but based on current form Yarra are clear favourites. On top of the ladder with only one narrow loss for the year and they don't look like dropping another one. When challenged by a good side in Albury last week they stepped up and won comfortably. Plus the top five system, which is probably the best finals system in my opinion, rewards the side finishing on top by giving them the easiest path to the big one.

I think that all teams in the top five are capable of beating each other. Obviously Yarrawonga and Myrtleford are the front runners at the moment being in 1st and 2nd on the ladder. Lavington always seem to fire in september and most teams will be keeping an eye on them as the year goes on. Albury as you say are very capable of beating any side if they can string 4 quarters together. Wodonga can also win on any day but my opinion is they won't go further than their third place at the moment.

I agree agent everyone in the 5 is capable of winning the premiership but cant see the Bulldogs going to far!
