Drew cant drink of that we all know. but the man has more balls than a brass monkey, i have seen him have a go at some rather large people.. e.g. shepard from kerang and wes pie.. two rather large gentlmen. doubt big planty would make hima act any different... drew doesnt wander over like he is going to take on the world. a very quiet person who form my experience puts his body on the line where many of the t/m players will not.....

With post's like this footy 02 i would say you are the homma.

no sean charles is still out with a leg injury has been doing some extensive recovery work in kyabram should mabye be back this week.
Did the Lalbert boys know he was to be a no-show. Heard last week he just did bother to let anyone know. Are the eagles banking on him or is it just a bonus if he turns up???

I cannot wait for Cliftons come back after reading Howards speel in The Footballer. Come on Clifton don't let us down.

[Action Jackson]

Mmm would be very interesting if Planty happened to read this post, wha do you think FOOZ. I can't recall Planty hitting any kids on Saturday, it wasn't even him who disposed of Darcy. I just made mention of how interesting it was to see Drew Arentz wander over all angry and looking as if he was going to take the world on then quickly re consider when he saw that Planty was in amongst it. A smart move i would have thought on Drew's behalf

I seem to remember a game out at lalbert versus tooleytang where a certain L.Bennett received a smack in the mouth which resulted in tears in his eyes.

Now that was interesting don't you think.

Yeah come on Clifton, pack another punch. That story and the events that have followed have been great reading in an otherwise pathetic media publication. Lets face it sport is news, and football is one of the largest employers and business sectors in the region so there should be more coverage of the great game especially for the GRFL. Take a look at other leagues that are classed as major leagues (not that CMFL still should be), their league websites are fantastic & ours is pathetic and in their media coverage it is a lot better than ours, but i do agree that it is better since you have been chief sports writer Brad

If the Cmfl should not be classed as a major. i would hate to see what the grfl should be classed. Because it is a joke. Our coverage in the media on footy is one of the finest around. The guardian do a better job than most other local papers, purely and simply because it is the only reason people read it (Not that there information is always correct).. and how many leagues get a weekly commentry on the radio.. and weekly reports on 3sh , 1077 and smart fm...

I value your opinion and in all fairness I probably should have gone a bit further to say that my call was in reference to the gloved ones call about cmfl not being major league. Both leagues have dropped 8 fold over the past years (As Mr. Filo said in paper) But the bottom line is that i have watched a few games of both leagues this year and the grfl is poor.. I remember years ago when fish mcgowan could not get a game in his prime for a strong murrabit side.. he ended up being an interleauge ruckman for cmfl.. which shows had low cmfl has sunk as well.. I hope they will not be offended by me mentioning they 're names but former grfl footballers .. carrol and connick would back me up i would think, when i say that the standard is rather low..

Would you believe that the gap in wideing in the sense of the stronger sides to the weaker sides. The CMFL is becoming a one sider affair unfortunately. The stronger sides are the best in northern victoria. But beause of the money being flung around these days players cant afford to represent the league because they dot want to get injured. As i said in a earlier post the D pool is no where near the names we have in this league

I agree to a certain extent.. but cmfl top sides would not come with in 10 goals of ovens and murray teams or A grade amo teams.
QUESTION FOR ALL BIG FOOTY FANS
Interms of grfl v's cmfl . It would be interesting to see what would happen if someone were to go to ultima (Relitively strong) or Wakool (TOp 3) even and put the following proposal to them....
"We want you to put up $5000, want you to put your best side on the field against woorinen's best side(Bottom 2).. winner take all" how many people (NOt emotionally attached but realistically) out there would think that the mentioned grfl sides would agree???
personally I beleive that woorinen would win by 5 to 8 goals...

I am not trying belittle the grfl, but trying to be realistic and create some chat..

Don't know what game you were at Roota to not notice the fifteen free kicks Planty gave away with high hits on mostly the saints young fella's while they were on the bottom of the pack dishing the footy out! If Planty is so tuff why didn't he belt D Arentz when he was remonstrating after D Ryan got king hit? From where i was watching he had every opportunity, maybe kids with there head over the footy are more his style! Lalbert not dragging him (15 free's against and 1 kick one handball) and giving Luke Bennett 3rd best after J Arentz kicked 9 on him even though he had a spell in the 2nd shows how bad they are travelling. Time to be a bit smarter with the recruiting out that way!:)

I totally agree that any one who gets 9 kicked on him does not deserve to be in the best on any day. Very embarrasing

TOP 5 players in CMFL????

1. Jarrod Arentz
2. Sean Charles
3. Marcus Nalder
4. Brad Carroll
5. Dwayne Holt

And can anyone tell me if lalberts interchange box still standing? Just wonderin if masters has knocked her down yet? That bloke belongs in the circus!!!!!

[SwanHillPremiers2006]

Everyone agree with the inclusion of banger holt i might be a little bit byast i see him play every week! but i have never seen a full forward tackle like him! would love to have him higher in the list but the blokes above have acheived so much.

The standard of all country footy has slipped ,and it has nothing to do with the players either.It is the way foot ball is structured by the VCFL,countryclubs lose all their good young players to the poineers usually never to return.You dont see ex AFL players returnig to the bush any more to coach to put abit back into grassroots football The game at the big end of town is greedy and run by people with egos

Roota, i did not no that a king hit consisted of someone facing an opponent taking a swing at them then forgetting to duck and getting smacked in the jaw. thus a broken jaw resulting.

this is only my opinion but i just can not see how you could have fullfowards in the top 5. i agree that they are great players but they dont kick the balls to themselves. what about the work horses that give the fullfowards the ball, like your chilterns, guerras, thamms, smiths, just to name a few but there are many more from other teams that feed these fullfowards weekly.

Firstly - I didn't mention anything about the standard of the GRFL i mentioned that it should get more coverage in the Swan Hill paper & in my opinion the CMFL is no longer a major league. I also said since Brad has been at the Guardian the football coverage has improved but it could be better, major leagues such as Geelong, O&M, GV, MP, Ballarat, Bendigo, Gippsland etc all have a great coverage of football in print media, radio that would be better than what we get.
Secondly - You agree that Mr Filo said this league has dropped 8 fold. He is a man who's opinion would be valued by many and if he says the league has dropped 8 fold then that would mean it is no longer a major league considering there are only four divisions. Again your mentioning in reference to me that the standard of GRFL is poor and I agree I just think they are the second league in this area and it doesn't get enough media coverage.
Maybe the two leagues in this area need to sit down with other neighbouring leagues and work out how to best manage the way footy standard has decreased and get football in this area back to where it was years ago when we were playing against Geelong, La Trobe Valley etc.

[HappyDayz]

So Gloved 1 or should i say Blindfolded 1. You've obviously seen the media coverage that each of these leagues get in person to make such a comment i hope. Because i've been involved with a few of the leagues mentioned and the guardian and local radio coverage is well above some of these leagues. For example the Geelong Football League's coverage in the Advertiser is minimal at best, having to compete with the AFL and other sports not even played up here. I conceed not as good as a few, we certainly don't match up in terms of television, but nore should we with a substantialy smaller population.

[ROOTA#6]

Roota, i did not no that a king hit consisted of someone facing an opponent taking a swing at them then forgetting to duck and getting smacked in the jaw. thus a broken jaw resulting.

I was talking about the King Hit that i copped mate. The one where i had my back to my opponent was watching the ball and was hit with a swinging arm to the jaw. I was just reminding the Tooleybuc people that their players engae in unsportman like activities also.

Brad does a great job with the overall coverage of sport, but it would be good if they could cover the GRFL a bit better. Seeing that the major newspaper for this area. I relise that there is so much man power available but it would be good if the GRFL gets a bit more coverage in the monday lift out. The GFL get good coverage when the catters loose!!!!

Sunday, Monday Happy Dayz....
Have been involved with Geelong FL, Ballarat FL, Bendigo FL as a club administrator. The coverage in the Advertiser not so good due to AFL but same in Bendigo and Ballarat, all these other places have another community paper that has fantastic football coverage which is written by the journo's at the major papers. I'm talking about more than TV and radio also. Look at the major leagues websites then go to the CMFL, its almost laughable. These major leagues that most of us in this area wanted to be associated with have full time employees by the leagues to do day to day football operations etc. If football in the CMFL is to get back to where everyone here wants it then the league here will have to do something about the way football is run because I believe our board is good but no where near as good as the other major leagues. have a look at the way one of the members carried on about what a sports writer covered in the paper...

Yes you have a point there with the Website thing there Gloved 1. I know H.R is an expert with CPU's maybe we have just give Clifton an avenue for his next point of attack.

Forget about the money getting thrown around chief.. Think about this we play 18 rounds and only get one bye..(when the interleague is on) Thats one week off out of the whole footy season.. Maybe consider a split round somewhere.. You might find that a few more players will put there hands up for interleague.. :) :

Fair call. But if Ficarra, Rosewarne, DeMorton and co dont do something different qucickly Interleague will mean nothing within 2 years. Another bye will help immensily.

what players tell opposition coaches that key players are missing from the side, spins the ball in hands trying to be a jacko, takes the money every week and doesnt do team things and fakes hamstring injurys
glad you have to play with the guy.

I wouldn't mind seeing a few names of some of these saints who have dished a few out, just too know what sort of credibility/evidence you have.
Also I seem to remember that supposed king hit as it happened right in front of where i was and all i seem to rememer was a fair attack at the ball which you obviously couldn't handle. Get a skirt on love the time for whinging has passed

I dont know the hamstring guy in question and have only seen him play once (last saturday). Once I saw him in action I couldnt believe this was the same person that had been getting a few raps as a reasonable player on this very forum the week before. Maybe he is going through some emotional issues outside of footy but his efforts on saturday (before limping straight off into the shower) were very very ordinary. There was more heart and determination at the ball shown by the seconds running around for Lalbert earlier in the day. One thing I couldnt believe was that if you have an injury that is so bad you have to come off you woudl want the trainer/physio to look at it ASAP. This guy didnt go through the interchange, pushed the physio away (Boof O'Bree) and headed straight into the rooms. Obviously had better places to be then out on the ground.

i would have to agree with that footy02. wakool get away with a lot of forward running in the grfl, but players such as robertson, tierney, pryma, brooks, roberts, kerr, would all smash the best that wakool has got, including harvey, as he only gets the ball by pushing forward knowing his team will win the clearance, and this couldnt be guaranteed against cmfl teams. interesting post, keep them coming.
That a real disappointing post from you Telstra
Kearney, Whelan, Harvey, Doyle, Harrison etc would not only match Woora's best you have mentioned, but have them covered in several areas.
Firstly the disposal of this group is superior to those you have mentioned eg. Kerr
The committment of this group is better than some of those mentioned eg. Prymke and names like Brooks and Roberts would only be run of the mill players in the Hawks side of this year.

yes all fair points, but you will find that the standard of footy in general among all leagues has dropped. Just more so in the cmfl. Maybe there is just not enough demand for more news on the grfl or cmfl. I would have thought the guardian wrap would be enough considering ten years ago it was a non event.. I think everyone is to worried about interleague. maybe the board should start worrying about the standard of the league rather than winning interleague.. Time for a change of board.. p.s. Swan HIll premiers 2006 your kidding yourself.......

Mate you are not on this plannet.. Simon roberts.. a 6 foot 3 quick player, highly regarded in darwin, (Key position player in back to back flags) coach of a cmfl side (That performed very well for the players they had) would only be just a player in wakools team... you do realise that other people read these posts.....
Kelvin 69 for a keen a knowlegable supporter, you have seen Clinton Brooks play, How do you rate him..???
For a man that has had a few tussles with ash connick and come out on top on occasions I would rate him as a bloody good footballer.
And then we can start looking at the next level of players..

"We want you to put up $5000, want you to put your best side on the field against woorinen's best side(Bottom 2).. winner take all" how many people (NOt emotionally attached but realistically) out there would think that the mentioned grfl sides would agree???
personally I beleive that woorinen would win by 5 to 8 goals...

I am not trying belittle the grfl, but trying to be realistic and create some chat..

although i agree about the standard dropping in these leagues, i disagree that the cmfls bottom sides would account for the grfl sides easily.. the ultima teams who won 3 in a row would have definately finished in the top 5 of cmfl... the top grfl sides are better than the bottom cmfl sides without doubt, 02

[FOOZ]

well luke bennett(roota6) put this up on your wall from floor to ceiling
LALBERT are gone and it would be wise for some of the ego maniacs that wear the eagle jumper to gain some words of wisdom from those in attendance at the premiership reunion in late july.
what players tell opposition coaches that key players are missing from the side, spins the ball in hands trying to be a jacko, takes the money every week and doesnt do team things and fakes hamstring injurys
glad you have to play with the guy.
hope you enjoyed the tongue lashing on monday night????

well everyone another classic comment from Mr i have never played senior football JAMIE MCDONALD. Its about time that you started talking real football news mate instead of the s h i t that you talk on hear and on the radio station that you work for. There is a reason why you are nicked named DC MCDONALD at lalbert... dumb c u n t!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hahah barking up the wrong tree d ic k head
blame him all you like ahhahahaa

[champ]

Mate you are not on this plannet.. Simon roberts.. a 6 foot 3 quick player, highly regarded in darwin, (Key position player in back to back flags) coach of a cmfl side (That performed very well for the players they had) would only be just a player in wakools team... you do realise that other people read these posts.....
Kelvin 69 for a keen a knowlegable supporter, you have seen Clinton Brooks play, How do you rate him..???
For a man that has had a few tussles with ash connick and come out on top on occasions I would rate him as a bloody good footballer.
And then we can start looking at the next level of players..
I agree with september. Theres no need to argue about individual players though because everybody has different perceptions, having watched both wakool and worra this season I think wakool would get up. Only an opinion though.

[steikerocks]

yeah whatever mate, dont blame me for what some other ******** writes
pretty easy to hide behind a name, i identify myself
hey and one more thing, say it to my face
one thing ive got the balls to do. and if you dont believe me, try it some time
you hero

[footy02]

I agree with september. Theres no need to argue about individual players though because everybody has different perceptions, having watched both wakool and worra this season I think wakool would get up. Only an opinion though.
always value your opinion champ.. but you have remember woorinen were playing cmfl sides. And the individual player thing is very important as they make up the side.. I also disagree that the ultima teams would be top 5. agaisnt the cmfl teams at the time... Unfortunatly I do not have a record from the cmfl or grfl but can someone who knows both sides (Woora and Wakool) get a list together of the top 10 olayers in each side and compare them.. remembering that the level of fitness between the sides, and general standard of football is much higher in a cmfl club that a grfl.. And this is not taking a stab at wakool as i am a fan of them, just using them as a comparison..

one more thing, the majority of the palyers mentioned by telstra01 have proven themself in more than just the cmfl or grfl...

[steikerocks]

anyways, had a look at the tigers and nyah on sat
hopefully woora can get some confidence out of the win and trouble someone
tierney, kerr and robertson were all good with ianucci chipping in
roberts and pearce were good but robbo needs to learn to consistently kick straight, coulda bagged heaps
nyah missing kruegar and full of kids tried hard but got the rough end of the stick from some dubious decisions

robbo would kick 100 in a tyntyder side. or close to it..
umpires yet again.....
in regards to bramley.. Any person who pushes a trainer (Or fails to stop and talk or acknowledge, water boy or in this case (Speaking form many many session of rehab) a good physio and bloke lie greg o 'bree.. is not worth a pinch of **** and is not the type of person that shuol dbe involved in country football. to many disrespectful f u c k e r s.

Do you think that Krueger would have been the difference, great player.

[steikerocks]

cant say he would of won the game for nyah but at least would of helped keep tierney and kerr in check
i can say though he is a good player and no doubt would of kept nyah in the contest for a lot longer than what they were
and for matt curran to go to the umpires at half time, somethings up
one of them paid 2 deliberate out of bounds in the opening minutes, gave tierney a holding the man decision, when he had the ball pinned to his chest(unbelievable) and repeatedly pointed the wrong way for frees
even the players at times had no idea who had the free

[Guus Hiddink]

Robbo's body isn't what it used to be, do you think that he could stay on the park for the duration of a season to kick his bag in a good side?? I personally don't think so, you wouldn't be paying to much coin for him at this stage in his career.

seriously i think a lot of footy has taken its toll, but would be a good foil up forward, say sitting in a pocket, in a good side

[Kelvin 69]

Firstly - I didn't mention anything about the standard of the GRFL i mentioned that it should get more coverage in the Swan Hill paper & in my opinion the CMFL is no longer a major league. I also said since Brad has been at the Guardian the football coverage has improved but it could be better, major leagues such as Geelong, O&M, GV, MP, Ballarat, Bendigo, Gippsland etc all have a great coverage of football in print media, radio that would be better than what we get.
Secondly - You agree that Mr Filo said this league has dropped 8 fold. He is a man who's opinion would be valued by many and if he says the league has dropped 8 fold then that would mean it is no longer a major league considering there are only four divisions. Again your mentioning in reference to me that the standard of GRFL is poor and I agree I just think they are the second league in this area and it doesn't get enough media coverage.
Maybe the two leagues in this area need to sit down with other neighbouring leagues and work out how to best manage the way footy standard has decreased and get football in this area back to where it was years ago when we were playing against Geelong, La Trobe Valley etc.

Hey glove can you name 1 minor league competing in the VCFL Country Championships? No thats right only major leagues compete. Just like CMFL, so get off your high horse.

[ROOTA#6]

I wouldn't mind seeing a few names of some of these saints who have dished a few out, just too know what sort of credibility/evidence you have.
Also I seem to remember that supposed king hit as it happened right in front of where i was and all i seem to rememer was a fair attack at the ball which you obviously couldn't handle. Get a skirt on love the time for whinging has passed

Leigh Coleman. You must have had your eyes closed idiot, because i wasn't attacking the ball nor was Leigh. There was a ball up the ball spilled to one side of the pack opposite to where we were, lalbert player over the ball, me sheperding my team mate Leigh trying to get past, whack, broken jaw. Nothing more than a weak as **** action mate. If someone wants to belt a bloke. Face them and do it

I imagine that is young David Thommo at 10. If he is no 10 then they have a great side. I rate him in a similar class to Matt Leeder.

[iamfooty]

Im confused? Is this the GRFL thread or the CMFL thread? Wakool aren't as crash hot as everyone thinks they are -- have some great finishers but pretty soft at the ball -- don't like playing Hay.

I would have Matt Graham almost at 1 in their list too...would be right up there in the league medal. Great ruckman and handy forward. Harvey hates the hard ball -- built like Sticks Benham -- but can finish. Not really suited to GRFL style of footy...would be a better player in CMFL with cleaner delivery...

so i am footy you would be able to back me up in saying that wakool would not beat woora.. i have played at woora, seen them played this yr, and also played against wakool, and i just cant see them beating any side in the cmfl. the style of footy is too different. eg. quamby almost beat wakool, had them stuffed till 10 minutes to go. i cant see anyone being able to stop kerr, robertson, alderuccio and teirney, then woora have height, not as much as other cmfl sides., but plenty for grfl- brooks, roberts, beasy, kerr, pearce, prympke, russo. then you add in crow, mudge, siciliano, coburn, grant, bolton for small blokes, sorry woora would be too good.

[ROOTA#6]

Terrible to read about former League legend Wes Lewis's serious injury, would have to be one of the worst injuries to have occured in recent times. What a tough and couragous player he has been

What happened to him roota?

[ROOTA#6]

What happened to him roota?

Broke two vertabrae in his neck. Is in hospital in Melb awaiting surgery to have them fused, very nasty stuff

[telstra101]

would take a fair bit to keep him down.. fair to say that woora wouldnt have won in 2002 if there was no wes lewis, so will see where that leaves sea lake, and take pa wall out for 6, big blow.

[FOOZ]

Broke two vertabrae in his neck. Is in hospital in Melb awaiting surgery to have them fused, very nasty stuff

Any news on how it all happened ROOTA#6?

Apparently he was running back to take a mark and got clipped all fair from what I have been told just one of those unfortunate things! How is my little bald mate Weapo going?

[KingRich]

Any news on how it all happened ROOTA#6?

Just reading in paper about it:

Recovering in Hospital last night from a fractured neck he suffered backing courageously into a pack.

Operated on neck yesterday to fuse his neck back together.

12 weeks out of football. No long term damage or anything. Good Result considering :thumbsu:

[September]

And then we can start looking at the next level of players..
I am talking about the form both these guys have displayed this yr.
Serviceable but not dominant performances.
I am not one to compare leagues, but having played in both the difference in standard is very overexaggerated. If your any good you'll get plenty of it in either league

[September]

Im confused? Is this the GRFL thread or the CMFL thread? Wakool aren't as crash hot as everyone thinks they are -- have some great finishers but pretty soft at the ball -- don't like playing Hay.

Harvey not suited to GRFL footy? Well he's making a pretty good fist of it, have a look at his stats thus far, i think he's taken quite a liking

[footy02]

good points telstra.. not to mention the fitness level.. woora much to strong... I have seen wakool play also, and if Ash Connick was not in their top 2 or 3 or would put my life savings (Two bit of sweet f a) on wakool to win flag by 5 goals....

oh and spent a few days with lewis.. just to let every know. he had surgery to fuse things back together... all went well. recoverying in hospital. wil by home by saturday... Spent a few hours with pa wall, he wil play finals at sea lake..... things not as bad a first thought...

think the 12 weeks is going to more like retirement..... but if anyone could come back next year it would be that man.. but i doubt it.. family to important

[the gloved 1]

Hey glove can you name 1 minor league competing in the VCFL Country Championships? No thats right only major leagues compete. Just like CMFL, so get off your high horse.

Well that all depends Kelvin on whether or not I use common sense or use the VCFL grading guidelines. In my opinion i don't believe the North Central/Mallee and Western Border are major leagues in terms of football standard. From 2001-2003 CMFL played in 3 consecutive Div 2 finals and had chance to go up to Div 1 but were beaten by major leagues Bendigo & Ballarat x2. Since then our performance at interleague level has dropped and so has standard of league dramatically. We would all like to see the standard of footy around here lift again and this would coinside with better performances at interleague level, but something has to happen with the way the league is run or we will never compete with the other leagues on & off the field.
By the way i'm not on a high horse, i cant get on them. I haven't any legs and i'm dead serious.

THink that it is mainly because for those years you mentioned that cmfl went okay.. was because even though it was not compulsory, the player that played were stil of reasonable standard with in the league...

[DOCKERS]

good points telstra.. not to mention the fitness level.. woora much to strong... I have seen wakool play also, and if Ash Connick was not in their top 2 or 3 or would put my life savings (Two bit of sweet f a) on wakool to win flag by 5 goals....

Are the rumours true that the tough old bugger wanted to get back up after the incident. Actually screamed at Pa to pick him up?

I would believe them even if they weren't. Great player and good to hear he is ok. Sea Lake is now stuffed though.

Woora would win easy. You blokes in the minor league, I forget its name, are kidding yourself.

[champ]

so i am footy you would be able to back me up in saying that wakool would not beat woora.. i have played at woora, seen them played this yr, and also played against wakool, and i just cant see them beating any side in the cmfl. the style of footy is too different. eg. quamby almost beat wakool, had them stuffed till 10 minutes to go. i cant see anyone being able to stop kerr, robertson, alderuccio and teirney, then woora have height, not as much as other cmfl sides., but plenty for grfl- brooks, roberts, beasy, kerr, pearce, prympke, russo. then you add in crow, mudge, siciliano, coburn, grant, bolton for small blokes, sorry woora would be too good.
Are they all midgets in the GRFL

[Action Jackson]

Leigh Coleman. You must have had your eyes closed idiot, because i wasn't attacking the ball nor was Leigh. There was a ball up the ball spilled to one side of the pack opposite to where we were, lalbert player over the ball, me sheperding my team mate Leigh trying to get past, whack, broken jaw. Nothing more than a weak as **** action mate. If someone wants to belt a bloke. Face them and do it

For someone who had to be helped off by the trainers you have a very good memory of this incident roota. Also if you are such a tough guy who can say Drew Arentz was hiding from no nuts plant then why not trying a bit of square up with coleman and back up a few of these comments (face them and do it) seems to me if you got king hit then you would have every right to square up. I am positive lalbert wouldn't miss you too much if you got suspended. Or as I am one hundred per cent sure would happen, got the living f u c k punched out of you

[cellar_dweller]

Well if it was Leigh Coleman then why was Troy Hosking the one Lalbert were going for in the investigation?
There seems to be a lot of ill feeling towards Labert in the CMFL.
After watching the game on saturday I cant say I blame them .After the king hit from behind on the Tooleybuc Manang player(it was from behind and a big one) the behaviour from the labert bench was terrible. They cheered and yelled abuse at an injured player as he was being escorted from the ground(who was clearly in trouble and could not defend himself ).How **** weak is that. The good supporters of the Labert footballclub do not deserve that sort of behavior and must be terribly embaressed by it . I was told the coach was a radio commentator last year for the local radio station .What a role model he is for the young kids in a small country community.Country football is struggling enough without unsportsman like behaviour like that Hows the investigation going.Maybe those officals should be getting investigated sa well.PS I have seen troy play a lot of very good football and a King hitter he is not. He is a tough and brave footballer who only Knows to well of the tragic circumstances on the football ground

Roota, is seems that there are a few creases in you story that need to be ironed out. was it coleman or hosking that hit you, as Kelvin said, if the league was trying to investigate hosking then he was the one that hit you. was he not. beta get your story straight mate before accusing genuine players of being dead **** king hitters!!

[Guus Hiddink]

Well said.:thumbsu:

Let's be honest boys, they both get what they deserve on the footy field. There are always two sides to a story, so stop p i s s i n g in your own teammates pockets and talk about something decent.

some of the players you have mentioned there eg crow and mudge would only be averge-middle range players in the grfl as they are in the cmfl so lets not go over the top sorry pal wakool would beat woora

Cmon people i think where rating these two teams a litlle bit too highly like wakool play in the golden rivers and anyone in the cmfl could probably beat them and i also think that we are rating woorinen too high too because they have some good players but obviously don't use them well enough

True.. starting to talk a little sense cohuna.. but the point we are making is that woora would beet em.. with easily.. to strong.. to much depth..... to much... fitness...
and dockers i realise that. was saying that he would be in the top 2 or 3 if not 1.. depending on serious he took it...

AND FINALLY
take note and see if Jarrod (I look like a four and twenty pie) Arentz kicks kicks a bag this week and fails to get a b.o.g.

Geez leitchy gunny have improved this year any thoughts?yeah instead of kicking 6 goals a game and losing now they kick 8 and lose, but dont give up on them, they are going places,like back to echuca

Are the rumours true that the tough old bugger wanted to get back up after the incident. Actually screamed at Pa to pick him up?

I would believe them even if they weren't. Great player and good to hear he is ok. Sea Lake is now stuffed though.

Woora would win easy. You blokes in the minor league, I forget its name, are kidding yourself.

Not quite that tough.. couldnt feel his legs for a little bit so he knew he had done some dammage. so i told no one to touch him.. very lucky he had some good trainers there.. very well done by the trainers.... does any one think that the wakool president woudl put 10k on the line winner take all............
