North Central Football League - Part 1

[MasterOfRoc]

Yeah but didn't someone say they had 30-40 players at training the other night, could someone from Wyche please confirm. I've heard that's a better turn out than the years when they are successful.

Wyatt, now there is bloke who would be a great addition to the midfield with all the losses Donald have had

IF this is the case, its what makes Country Footy so good, the locals help out whenever they can

Too true MOR. If it's the case, they might be a bit better than we think this year. They did have a bit of talent last year in Brennan, Bish, Turner. A good pre-season might see them turn into the player's they've wanted.

Anyway I suppose we'll all find out if a few of the boy's post on here. They don't seem to be as talkative as everyone else.

Anyone care to give us a tip on who will be premiers?

Birchip for me with the Saveloy's to be the dark horse.

Top 3, Birchip Charlton, Wedderburn with any of the other 4 taking the 4th spot in my opinion...

Im pretty confident that there will be some pretty competitive footy this year...fight for the Spoon could well come down to last years Grand Finalists...only one way to find out...and it starts in about 1 months time

[Centre Sqaure]

can confirm ricky allan has signed with the demons this year, sam hawkins will be back after he played one game and arguably helped the demons to their only win last year (kicking 7 in a 2 point victory over the burn) .

as for other signings, Watch This Space!!!

Well my sources have told me that Wyche is going as far as to paying EVERY player who is in the 2nds an seniors, local or not, yet we still go on about how good it is 2 c people going back to the club! A set figure minumum for every player has been decided am i rite?? The club must be really going from strength 2 strength if u have to even pay the stalwards of the club!!!

I'm sure the club made a decision in which they deamed neccessary to keep the club alive, and if that means pay a small expense covering fee to all players that are willing to help the club out then i dont think its such a bad idea, especially compared to its alternative... As for resorting to paying the club stalwards goes, I'm sure the gesture is greatfully appreciated and respectfully turned down by the many stalwards that have been involved in the club through many great years and have the clubs best interest at heart.

Great effort from Allan, as i saw him play in the Ballarat league last year and really proved he can become a good player in one of the best leagues in country victoria. I felt this year could have been his break through year down there, and for him to sacrifice his own development to help his beloved Demons out then my hat goes off to him

[patty O'furnicha]

Burn list is the same at as last posted at this stage, however there is a big full forward that has shown interest and as i'm lead to believe will be playing in the practice matches. And its not Hutton!

Could make it a full house in all the right positions for the saveloys this year. FF, CHF, CHB, FB, Ruck, and Rover amongst the new recruits.

Birchip and Charlton My tips to Join Wedderburn in the top 3 with each team beating each other once each throughout the year.

Just proving your lack of knowledge, st arnaud to finish above Boort??
Might just be surprised with Boorts lineup this year!!

[Listen to the fans]

Is Sammy Gross returning to the magpie fold this year?? He would have to be one of the most loyal players boort has had in its history. He has travelled back from melb on and off since the mid 90's, a huge effort. If any man deserved a premiership for his home club it would be him. Was an gun player in the NCFL in his younger days and his experience would be of great benefit to the team.

Any other magpie news ablett or gault???

[Roar38]

Yeah but didn't someone say they had 30-40 players at training the other night, could someone from Wyche please confirm. I've heard that's a better turn out than the years when they are successful.

Wyatt, now there is bloke who would be a great addition to the midfield with all the losses Donald have had

they had the most on the track all year on friday, i think was around about 30 maybe a bit less, but a few boys didnt train because of the cricket final on saturday, and a car load from melb which didnt get to town till about 10

Of course the great man is playing. The Boort rooms would not be the same without his religious warming up superstitions!!!
The Boort wagon is travelling along very nicely at present "lttf" with prac matches against avoca and Pyramid lined up in what should be good hit outs for the Maggies.... We will be ready for another successful season.

Gee very snappy aren't we today??

From what I have heard from Boort players about their comings and goings they will play finals again.

[facts_rite]

and this is coming from a bloke from nully..............

Just sayin mate, if blokes are that passionate about the club then why pay them?? Wouldnt you do it for the love of the club?? Will probably last longer financially not payin borderline 2nds footballers? Didnt see Pete Morrison gettn paid in his finals years @ nully mate!! :D

Yeap, not in a good mood :D

and they may play finals... when in the post in question did i say they wouldn't be :) (the post that GoF sparked up about)

if ya take a look, you will see that its actually a cheap plug, saying that the Season is starting in time

probably didnt, however not every player in the club will take it its an optional choice, also have to be training!!

would also love to see nully's player payments, i assume some1 close to you would be on a mint playin at nully.

I was just making a statement mate, its not every day u hear of a club offering every player some Pat Cash thats all!! Nothing against wyche tho good on them i say, is always sad 2 see a club go and if thats what it takes to resurect a footy club then good on them!! Me old man retired years ago, wat u on about???? :D

You have now changed your tune. First you bagged them saying how could they possibly pay out every player, now your saying good on them and do whatever to resurrect a football club.

As for the player payments, I can tell you for a fact (as I have played at a club using this method of player payment) most major league's employ this strategy to pay them a playing fee. But I bet Wyche's measly reported $50 a game is nothing compared to the higher leagues along with $15 or whatever for a second's game to entice players back home. Alot more clubs will be looking at setting up a similar scheme in the future just to survive.

So facts_rite, just go back to your little minor league and wait for that white envelope after each game. You seem like a bit of a hypocrite.

[Bend it]

Didnt wyche used to always boast about not paying players? They just came back because they were successful and for the love of the club? It would have been was some years ago now!

i think you would find that most succesful clubs in major leagues eg. Bendigo, Ballarat, the GV,....(not muddy waters) pay a base payment to all their senior players.

Rick Allan tells me his capt. at wyche, and signed a new player on friday night from beechworth.

As i am an unpaid player smasher, i will not be recieving my 'envelope' but good suggestion mate. Did I say that Nully dont pay there 2nds?? Was just sayin that paying 'every' player seemed a little extreme! But as i said, if thats what it takes to keep there club alive, then good on em'!

Well, now with Allan back in the Demon's jumper they would be looking at improving alot with his class in the midfield. Is he bringing any former Ballarat team-mates? If they were to get a few, I'd have to rate them up there with Wedderburn and Charlton with Birchip clearly in front of the pack.

What would your reasons for having Birchip/Watchem on top?? dare say that Wyche wouldnt be as high as that, but you never no? Any news on Charlton and how they have recuited??

Boort will make finals without a shadow of a doubt...

Boort is playing Avoca in a practice match at the Avoca Public Park this Saturday 24th May. All grades of football and netball I believe. The Avoca ground has been OK and a little bit of rain should help it a bit more. Avoca finished just outside the five last season but have recruited a few. Should make for an interesting day.

Birchip and Charlton were both top 4 sides last year. Birchip have recruited well and maintained their list. It was a tough decision to have Charlton above Wedderburn, as it will be very close! If Hutton and Connors do stay, look out Birchip.

that is a fair point. i do believe that teh burn have the ammo to give Birchip a shake up, Gash is a great pick up by teh sounds, have sources that say he is a tough midfielder, that gets alot of the footy. is there any other key losses for wedderburn other than Hutton and Connors??

My predictions for the NCFL 2007

Smasher to finally cement his spot in the back pocket in the 2s, and become cheif deadshiit of bigfooty.com.
MasterOfRoc to make his long awaited return to Lord Nelson Park only for his knee to buckle under his immense weight upon running out onto the ground, thus ending his career.
Robbie lees helmet to remain on his head for the full 4 quarters, and his brother to remain sober throughout saturday.
Ben Rose to pass the ball inside 50
Thommo from Charlton to tap the ball forward at a boundary throw in
With a ban on incestral players inforced in the NCFL Wedderburn are forced to close there doors.
dean Goodridge to be congratulated post game on an excellent and consistent display of umpiring.
Due to lack of numbers at Wychy, Beau Bish is forced into the ruck where he becomes a dominating force.
Boorts Sam Grosse to retire due to Water restrictions and a broken shoelace.

daniel gash will be very similar to rick andrews, if andrews still plays the same brand of footy that he did at sandhurst. although gashy would be better suited to rugby. loves to get the ball and drag the hangers on 10-15 yards when he gets it in scrimmages. very tough

Wedderburn are looking to cement their spot in the top 2 for favouritism with negotiations all but finalised with another high profile name. Yes... Ben Cousins has been chatting to Dean Lockhart and is looking to break his contract at West Coast. All the Saveloys would need to do is pay out the remainder of his contract. chump change!

I would say he'd be a tagger, shutting down the likes of Bartram... A true battle of the Cannons!:D

Here is a list of my latest comments (which I think are credible, it's your opinion if you don't):
-Boort will not finish in the Top 4. Not hope at all
-Birchip will clearly be the best in the comp this year
-Charlton/Wedderburn will fight for 2nd and 3rd
-Next group would be a fight for fourth between Wyche, Donald, St Arnaud
-Andrews will win the League BnF again if he stay's injury free.

If you think Boort has a stronger contingent of locals, your kidding yourself! Donald beat Boort in the seniors and reserves last year when it counted, and will do again this year. I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking this!

I won't waste my day listing all the incredible statements you've made. I don't think Boort (nor Donald for that matter) will be as bad as you think.
If you think about the leading players at St Arnaud and Wyche last year, many of them would not had a spot in the Boort and Donald sides. Compare to this to the kind of players who were "second-tier" to the stars at Boort (Gross, Wilson, Bartram etc) and Donald (Young, Beckham, Fraser etc) and I reckon the grand-finalists will retain a better list (presuming most of those sort of guys stay).
I realise its harsh calling some of those blokes "second-tier" but its for argument's sake when comparing them to the top 3-4 players at those clubs which as we know play a crucial part in NCFL football.

While I can't say much in regards to St Arnaud players as they haven't played finals for a few years, Wyche had approximately 6-8 players from last year that I've played against in previous finals series'. They finished runner-up two years running, and they weren't a team full of stars so they mustn't be too big of slouches.

Those second-tier players are nothing on Donald's second tier-players you have named. Just watch this year, with alot stars departing both clubs I can pick the team that will stand up and have a crack...Donald! (Note: Did Gross get a kick last year?)

Boort should just worry about the year ahead and stop talking themselves up. I wonder why Ablett19 has stopped talking up there chances? Heard a little whisper that a few local's weren't impressed with what has been said on here.

I Boort makes finals then you must reveal who you are to all on Big Footy and go and meet Ablett at Boort and sign yourself up for a membership!

If they miss you name the price but this is what I want to see from you.

I think Ablett has gone quiet because there is no point in arguing with people on here. At the moment the 2 Picioanes are all they have lost. They have picked up a couple that I heard of a few months back at a party and I would assume they would have got a few more so I would think they would still slot into the finals. We will wait and see. I'm happy to throw $50 on though mate and we will sort out payment at the end of the year!

I think Ablett has gone quiet because there is no point in arguing with people on here. At the moment the 2 Picioanes are all they have lost. They have picked up a couple that I heard of a few months back at a party and I would assume they would have got a few more so I would think they would still slot into the finals. We will wait and see. I'm happy to throw $50 on though mate and we will sort out payment at the end of the year!

slightly incorrect mate, 2 Picioanes, A Rutley, A Wilson(geelong), D armfield(knee), L Cooney??, D Longmuir( Port Phillip Prison)..
But a few more recruits will be on show saturday!!

[Bend it]

Who are boorts actual loses at this stage, is Craig Rutley on the departures list or not? Andrew has put in a clearance, and the picioanes, are gone, have they picked up any midfielders? those are the holes they will need to fill from last season, If they can keep that list minus a few blokes boort at this stage may well be the sleeping giant. I dont think any club is revealing all their cards until the season starts as to who is staying and who is going, or as close to as they can.

Now Donald are finishing bottom??

Yer changed my mind but Boort arnt far in front of them

It's funny how there are no posts on here once someone asks for the sledging to be eliminated.

Whistle, Is Donaldson Park going to be right for the start of the season? if not when do you seeing it being cherry ripe again?

A ground update from other side would be appreciated also??

Morning Patrick, i think it should be right. The rain last week softened it up a bit and a couple of good waters a bit closer to the season should see it develop fast enough.

[gerta]

I'll go for a work shortly Patty and have a look at it for you... Looked very ordinary at the end of last week and was rock hard... Looking at it first thing on Monday morning a fair amount of water got dumped on it over the weekend and then with the follow up rain on Tuesday would have softened it a bit.. The coverage in places is very patchy, but it always has been in one particular forward pocket...

I'll give u a more in-depth report in about an hour...

[footyfan001]

How good is it that Ricky Allen is returning to his old stomping ground. It would have been a few years since he has graced the grounds of the NCFL with his silky skills and pace. Has the ability to win games off his own boot and will slot nicely into the wyche midfield.
Has been appointed as skipper and will lead by example and show the young blokes on the team what it takes to be a great footballer. His dedication and commitment are second to none as he has temporarily quit drinking and has been training the house down in Ballarat I hear.
Swans were very disappointed to lose a player of his calibre..
Rumoured to be on $750 a game...

Never seen Hayes play so cannot comment, from Tyntynder yes? Can you tell us where he will most likely line up on the field?

As for Atkin, he isn't that great from his previous year at the club, just does his bit week in, week out.

Are you serious? Coatsworth, Bannam and O'Bree wouldn't have been on that money and he is a touch off their class!

[MasterOfRoc]

Our Grounds lookin great! the yellow patches that we all know about are dissapearing rapidly...pitch has softened up nicely...

Apparently there was a meeting recently to discuss grounds, Donald i think, said theirs would struggle with no more rain, but with the rain we have had since then, things look all well and good in NCFL

[MasterOfRoc]

Anyone in the know, care to share the reasoning behind Joe Coatesworth's Transfer Decline, after Decline.... i see he has applied for his 4th time... Grounds for Appeal?

I presume they don't want to lose him (wouldn't have thought it'd take much to realise that)

As for appealing, I'm pretty sure the fourth clearance goes towards a panel to decide

lol Mr Obvious... i was referring to whether or not there were other reasons...

[gerta]

Cheers Gerta.:thumbsu: Take Browny down with you and have a kick!

Browny's got the day off today, although did have the help of another bigfooty regular to do a close inspection of the ground... Looks green but very patchy (not helped either by some ******* who had done a few doughies on there).. Better than a few grounds around i have seen (especially bendigo way).. Still very wet and damp from the weekend watering and rain. They would want to keep putting the water on and get another inch or two of rain before the start of the season, as well as some nice sunny days to get the grass growing a bit... If they managed to do that i think the ground would be ready to go..

One spot of concern would have to be around the centre circle. Looks as though its just in a spot where the sprinklers don't get to, as it was still quite dry and firm looking.

[smasher100]

Other reasons to not letting him go? What possible reasons could there be other than the fact they obviously don't want him to leave the club?

[gerta]

lol Mr Obvious... i was referring to whether or not there were other reasons...

His rejection would be that from wyche's point of view is that he is a required senior player... And with the club struggling(?) with numbers i'm sure thats what wyche would be stressing the appeals board to reject his clearance.

Quite often theres a "different" issue... ie contract...etc etc but yea, i realise that

[patty O'furnicha]

Other reasons to not letting him go? What possible reasons could there be other than the fact they obviously don't want him to leave the club?

Sometimes there are other reasons for a clearance being held back. Such as financial commitment or incentives which may have already been exchanged
But in this case i would imagine it's just because he's a local talent in which would be a big loss at this stage of the year especially considering Wyche's position.

Positive signs at least. The centre circle area was hard at the best of times. So too is the goal square up the Hockey end, probably due to the stress it's endure with the Saveloys choice of lean full forwards over the years :D . but if the rest of the ground is fine then thats a good sign.

Rumoured.... Thats all it would be buddy. I dont know where ppl come up with these rumours. As for him been captain nothing has been decided yet, but ricky would be a firm contender as would a few others that have showed leadership over the last few years around the club.

hayes can play and has done well holding down key defensive post at tyntynder giving away height and strength every week. he can jump and is seriously quick when he is fully fit, i have always thought and ideal wingman if had enough quality backmen.

i cannot believe you are talking down the quality of atkin. after a year away from football he is fit and big. has had the full body wax and is rareing to go. has been seen around the kerang lakes area of late with his new ski boat with shirt off showing his physique off to the ladies. will be a definate improver in 07

In reference to what Allan is getting paid by whyche, who gives a stuff... He is from whyche, he is from all accounts a good player and a good bloke, he provides a bit of excitement by coming back, he might entice a few others back as well, he will lift the standard at whyche, maybe even the comp, he might help lift whyche off the bottom. If the club can afford to pay him $10,000 a game then good on them. If he is worth that much to them then good on them. There is too much bickering about how much people get paid. When it comes down to a decision about where we all play footy, money doesn't really come into it. Or does it?? But then I only get paid $750.. Or is it $150.. Or maybe $120.. Hang on, $1020???
