so the umpires in this league r f..ked. they must learn the game before they return to the field. the wknd gone they were an absolute f..king disgrace.
i agree in the game at ouyen which they played beulah was a disgrace 2 have a massive brawl like that and send 1 player off out of the whole 30 in it was shocking and all day they wernt consistent in any of ther calls for both sides

marcus healy from ouyen could be a foward of the future who has kicked 60 goals in 11 games for ouyen unders. along with jesse vallance and jordan manley who are massive ball winners in the unders all 3 are playing seniors. Tom pridgeon, coleman schace and lucas cookj all from hoptoun are brilliant players but i doubt lucas and coleman will be in this league after this year another in bill barry from sea lake who is playing in the victorian squad with lucas and coleman.
Yeah re the Unders, from what my sources tell me Ouyen are going to bring it home in front of of one of the most magnificent clubrooms this side of Bendigo. It will be great for the Ouyen community to showcase there fantatisic facilitys, which far outweigh anything Mildura have to offer. Unfortunately the Ones have had a flat and dissapointing year which has been dulled since the Sun(Sonny) stopped shining. The word on the street casts doubt as to where and how strong that particular Sun(Sonny) will shine in the future.e n dug yeolfo a tyanbth d

loveroos, I hear that Vaughan Noonan's season is as good as over after being sited and reported by two umpires for taking out young Bill Barry in Saturday's game and striking another Sea Lake Nandaly Tigers player? If he is rubbed out, which you would expect as two umpires made reports, it will be a massive blow for the Roos' back to back aspirations

Typical..umpires start doing their job this time of year whan they have let so much go in everyones games previously. Although they did book him for hitting number 5, who was clearly away from the action, so what were they really looking at..Be an interseting one..Both sides possibly having a player out.
Well, i seen the noonan incident and it was guilty but there will be a loopole to get him off as the umpys stuffed up the numbers. My tip is he will be rite for the granny

agreed brother. Why make the G.F venue ouyen? the biggest stink pit of the mallee? the arse end of the state?
it would be good to see sea lake take the win, but i doubt they cant control the firepower of w/u forwardline, and with players under injury clouds?
prediction : w/u by 6 goals.
Sportsbet : w/u $1.85
S/L $3
I would consider getting down to the local TAB lads.

Well I wonder where Sea Lake, Berri, Nandaly, culgoa, Swan Hill, Tigers are going to amalgamate with next year, some one with a bit of heart I hope, as they chucked it in very early on Saturday. The million dollar imports went missing early followed by the supporters. Maybe they would do better in the Golden Rivers League. Might get a kick there, but I dought it. By the way Ouyen was the greatest venue ever for the G.F. Great atmosphere, best crowd ever.

Not a Sea Lake fan at all, but they were pretty handy all year, ran into injury at the wrong time of the year and If they had won that f#....g (f#@g) slogfest wet 2nd semi and had a week off, things would have been much closer. Ouyen was a great venue, great crowd, shame both there teams lost, would have took the edge off there supporters day especially seeing their close neighbours win. will probabaly trhow money at more Walp players like they were rumoured to have last year.

Yes am hearing these rumours, however ferrier is overseas, harrison is captain of boga but may consider an offer, wes sewell will be a tiger, and would be great for the league to get durie and sutton back.

No chance in trying to get the hard boys or in fact anybody from imps. One thing about Imps is they have the ability to keep players and not through $$. Success breeds success and when you play in a side that is a chance to win a flag most years why would you leave??
I gather the full-forward you are eluding to is Sonny or Haase?? I hear Sonny has had a falling out with Souths and Haase is finished also at souths!!

Have they signed or just given their word. Ouyen thought they had players last year and that fell through at last minute. Pay cuts to get extra adelaide boys or a general sum that they can divide?? Be a strong comp if they all come and the other clubs players come as well...Looks for a healthy 2009 season if evryone can nail down their prospects.

It maybe just me but is the mallee football league beginning to become near impossible to compete for most teams in this comp. Must give credit to W/U they have been a fantastic side over the past few years, but you don't have to be einstine to work out that if they lure these extra players back they have the flag already in the bag. Why would any weaker sides even think of spending hard earned dollars to buy players knowing the result will most likely not change in 2009. The big question we must ask each other is where does the buck stop, what is the limit. I really feel money is the ruination of country football how can all clubs keep up with it without losing interest from other clubs not in the hunt and not enough cash to strengthen their sides. Anyhow just a thought and would be interested to see your thoughts, good luck to all for season 2009.

I agree with you beulahboy, however all our clubs are guilty of it. Unfortunately for the rest of us Underbool have megga dollars and have good blokes who can play and therefore attract others. I think there are a lot of clubs that are having a go this year which augers well for the competition but is it going to be the best of the rest again. Big Daryl Elliott has probably sold the car and with the 10 grand got these others from the city of churches. I think the Tigers will be a massive threat though if they do nail down their locals from far and wide. It is the ten year reunion of 99 when the tigers just snuck over Beulah in a great grand final that could have went either way.

Darky Parky was a handy player for the tigers a few years back- suffered a pretty bad injury since then and hasn't played a lot of footy. Tigers will need everyone they can get from what I hear. Losing heaps and not getting the players they thought they were!!!
It maybe just me but is the mallee football league beginning to become near impossible to compete for most teams in this comp. Must give credit to W/U they have been a fantastic side over the past few years, but you don't have to be einstine to work out that if they lure these extra players back they have the flag already in the bag. Why would any weaker sides even think of spending hard earned dollars to buy players knowing the result will most likely not change in 2009. The big question we must ask each other is where does the buck stop, what is the limit. I really feel money is the ruination of country football how can all clubs keep up with it without losing interest from other clubs not in the hunt and not enough cash to strengthen their sides. Anyhow just a thought and would be interested to see your thoughts, good luck to all for season 2009.
Dont we go over all this every preseason for the last how many years?
I'm not knocking anyone who goes and recruits well its what keeps the league going not the other way around. To say it stuffs the league is saying some clubs may have given up already. When Beulah were bringing great players up from town and winning flags, Inkster etc and you knew you were gonna get flogged you still show up for a day at the footy dont ya? Just barrack a bit harder.
What goes around comes around.
Just reread my post and it sounds like I am knocking BB or others. When really I agree with him but times change and there isn't a family on every 640 acre block any more.
What i'm trying to say is if Sea Lake or Woomelang or Beulah clean up this year they will have recruited well and thats how it goes, in cycles.
Clubs have to recruit because no small town has the numbers any more and you hang on while you can. Everyone knows whats coming sooner or later. Spending money is just delaying it.

I have copied the grand final team for Sea Lake- i would be very suprised if they loose too many... most of them are home grown locals.... and most that have been talked about as recruits are also home grown locals. The three weelley boys and blake are probably the only doubtfuls
BARRY, Andrew 28 BARRY, Bill 6 BARRY, Dale 17 BARRY, Liam 5 BLAKE, Ricky 27 CONLAN, Matthew 64 CONSIDINE, James 12 COX, Terry 10 CRABBE, Brendan DOMAILLE, Rene 24 GIDDINGS, Gerard 56 HANNIG, Jason LLOYD, Joel 16 MARTIN, Luke 8 ROWETT, Adrian 3 SUMMERHAYES, Joseph 54 SUMMERHAYES, Tom 7 WEEKLEY, Russell 9 WEEKLEY, Scott 44 WEEKLEY, Simon 46 WITNEY, Matthew

Blake gone, Rowett gone, Weekley's going, T.Summerhayes going, Barry's x 2 going, Giddings going, Domaille going, TC's been getting offered the big $$ from all round the state so he's prob going too! Witney has been asked to play rugby in QLD- Coz he just smashes blokes!

Correct. Bryce Scott and Kade Rixon signed with Woomelang. Both premiership players with Jindera in the Hume League

Rooster1 or halftime must have different inside contacts.
Anyway even losing just 3 Weeklys would be a big enough hole in the side. They are pretty handy.

Halftimespecialist - I think your a tiger who has no idea about their own club or someone who has very poor sources. What I have heard is that Blakey is the only deffinate loss at Tigerland and the rest have signed, and if not very very close. It is a ten year reunion there and I think you will find the locals are flooding back and they are bringing a few with them.
Lots of rumours about Underbool, heard Noonan going back to Swan Hill and Palmer moving to Mildura to play there. My sources are probably as reliable as yours though halftimespecialist.

Have they signed or just given their word. Ouyen thought they had players last year and that fell through at last minute. Pay cuts to get extra adelaide boys or a general sum that they can divide?? Be a strong comp if they all come and the other clubs players come as well...Looks for a healthy 2009 season if evryone can nail down their prospects. Harris, Noonan, chicken, nathan, charles, rookie and rumour of Mala that played a coupla yrs ago is a lot of spots filled.?
yes they have all re-signed for next year.

Where do you get your info i & u? Is it a reliable source?
Not the same place halftime gets his I hope, because Rooster, talking about the same club disagrees with everything he has said so far.

Seems like everyone is doubting my sources- the Sea Lake Tiger boys must be telling a few fibs to me if what rooster says is true. Tigers might be right up there again. Also sounds like a lot of speculation about the Adelaide players going back to Walpy/Underbool. Haven't heard much about Hopetoun or Beulah. What's happening there?

You still might be on the money HTS, rumours and bullshit fly aplenty during cricket and tennis season. Wont know until we see the transfer lists ourselves next year.

People are doubting your sources HTS because it is clear that you are making stuff up, if your claims are true about the tiger boys telling you stuff I would like to know who they are? The Weekleys are right, the Barry boys are right, Tommy and Ged are right and you add the Echuca recruits, I think that blows your stories out of the water. Maybe you should stick to making comments about your own club.

Been checking out the sunraysia league and by the forum, there is a shipload of potentials all going or approached by ouyen. Seems, if Ouyen can't join sunraysia then bring sunraysia to ouyen. Smart move or money waister? Time will tell. Wonder if there is any spots left for the locals? Early days yet, tennis etc to get through and nothing quite like a leadem on race up until the footy season starts and the transfers start to show on paper!
Bring the water to the horse.
