He is not stronger. Maybe this comes down to who you have seen play more. Any chance someone could ask any regular full back who they would rather play on? If we were talking about recruiting one to your club you need to look at the whole package. Even though I rate Arentz as better, If we agree that they're pretty close as players, you cannot deny that Arentz wins in every other catagory.
So Yaaablett, if they are so close as players what are these other categories that get Arentz over the line? I'm sure everyone is interested! Considering this has been a huge talking point for the thread so far and we are now 3 weeks away from the opening game I feel this wonderful topic should be bought up again so we can monitor progress. Carroll has been pretty impressive during night series, not just kicking goals but his work rate and willingness to handball seem to have increased.

all carroll is doing in the night series is trying to impress the young ladies roaming around on heat (and tim styles). wait till round one and the true brad carroll wil be back, trying to snap goals on the boundary line from 50 and all that.

carroll a very hany player, cannot play in the wet though, and is wasting his talent running around in the central murray.
The Tosh. You need to make ur mind up about carroll. In this blog u say he is wasting his talent in the CMFL yet in your last blog 3/4/06 you say that round 1 the carroll of old will be back trying to snap goals and trying to impress the girls and tim styles. Is there some envy in your thoughts Toshie? Maybe you want styles?

FROGDOG stop talking about people moving away to seek educations, obviously if you have moved away for this reason, you have a right to feel agreeved because the money you are spending on your fees does not seem to be paying off.. I hear "Kip McGraths" running cheap classes for the mentaly challenged do us all a favour and book yourself in!!! FOOTY02's comments on the CMFL points system and umpires are spot on.. Nice commenting FOOTY02:thumbsu:
You must be Torri Ficarra the way your stickin up for the league pull ya head out of the sand and realise in the way that the board is running this league we have a problem..:mad: (Sorry it was so long fellas):thumbsu:
My last comment was a sarcastic one Mr BALL MAGNET. If you have read the whole disscusion i've had with footy02 you would realize i'm not sticking up for the leauge you toss. I was picking out a silly comment he made. The rest of the points he's made i totally agree with. You sound like a smart man, you fool.

Toadmister, they are two of the biggest influences of results in the league and you want to leave it alone? Isn't this a thread where you talk about the goings on of Central Murray Football? I can assure you these two players will have a fair say in a few results this year so I think its an extremely valid topic unless of course you have two other superstars of the comp you would like to compare?
Boys, got a new topic! The most underrated players in the league? Who are they?
got a quick point.. Seems to be a bit of ********e flying at prymke.. I hardly know the man, have followed his career in past few years tho. At kerang, apparently won them the flag. Could be said under filo he produced when it was needed.. At Sea Lake. was a joke under ??????? the side, in general was poor i think, Now at woora.. IT will be interesting to see what happens under kerr. I believe it is the clubs stupidity that everyone shuould be sending a little abuse towards. not just captain shnoz. You recruit someone who is liable to do that. you suffer the consequences.. still does not excuse his very poor efforts.
A possible new topic.
Frog and I have been arguing about the point system and agree on a lot of things. Do you think that the goldern rivers should have to implement a point sytem to stop them steeling mid ranged player from the cmfl who wish to go to another club.... e.g. Jo blow a local player from tyntynder, boarder line senior player.. wants to leave to get good run in the seniors,, other close clubs (Swan Hill Woora) dont wish to spend 5 points on him so he may opt to go to ultima or murrabit-Nulli or so on.. any thoughts

Firstly i declare that I am a GRFL supperter, so my view is bias. I cant see a problem with a fringe player wanting to play more senior footy, and if the only place that he can do that is at a GRFL club then so be it. I will be honest and say that there is a far better chace for someone to play regular senior footy in the GRFL than in the CMFL, so why shouldnt he go. Secondly I dont think that a points system will work in the GRFL because we lack player numbers, simple as that. If you think that it is hard to keep the kids here in Swan Hill, try keeping them in Macorna, which doesnt have a town anymore, or Nully or Ultima or Murrabit with a population of 300. However I do agree that the GRFL needs some type of system in place, currently it has no points system nor a salery cap.
Righto Tubba, well is Hugh Foott as his article suggested, the biggest recruit for 2006?
Who knows Eat & Sleep? The season hasn't started as yet but I have Heard and seen one game of the night series that he would be a very valuable player. Brad Cliffton wrote the article so who would know hey? :rolleyes:

Ask Connick wouls enjoy:) a good bagging.....
Apparantly Woorinen have recuited an overgrown Chicken to play CHB. Under the points system it is worth 5 points, but his beak is worth another 5 because of its size, therefore he is a 10 point player. The footy club apparantly are selling advertising space on his beak to offset his match payments. Any interested businesses please phone 1800-BIGSNOZ.:D :D
Knowing who you are Nifty makes me wonder why you have to get onto big footy to have a go at Prymke you tall streak of duck s**t. people wouldn't bother worry about the points system with you!!! Poor Form Nifty man:thumbsd:
Time to put up or shut up boys. I'll have $200 with anyone that Tyntynder doesn't make the top 2. At seasons end we can exchange funds through private messages and work something out. Any takers?

Champ also made some good points of how hard it is for the GRFL to get players. I'm playing in the Kalgoorlie Goldfields Leauge. My club here does'nt pay any footballers. Couple of other clubs pay the odd player but no way near the scale leauges back there do. It great at this club, the passion and pride these players and supporters have is fantastic. These blokes are 3rd generation footballers at the club. No blow ins that take off straight after the game without spending a cent. Everyone is equal and here for the right reasons. Luv to see the CMFL and surrounding leauges do the same. I think it's the only way to get football back to the way it should be!
(never happen but).
On another topic. Are Tyntynder people angry that we got Wes Lewis and Bryce Scott and had a fair crack at a few others (Dogs Full back, name escapes me) ? It seems unusually quiet. Not much directed at either Wes or the club, that I've seen or heard anyway. Am I wrong? there seems a few Bulldog boys on this site that can set me straight.

You don't have $200 Russ. Maybe you won't need it though.;)
:thumbsu: Perhaps if borderline players trained harder, became fitter, and generally looked after themselves they would get regular senior games. The good players usually work harder in these areas of the game

Big Russ I take it ur a Sea Lake supporter? or maybe Nandaly? or maybe a combination of both? I will let you know on good authority that the players at Tyntynder are not ********ed off at all that Wes Lewis has left the club and understands that he needed to leave the Dogs to fulfill his ambition of coaching, he couldn't stand playing there last year and not calling the shots however he was still a valuable player. The Dogs are very dissapointed at the fact that Wes did lure a young star in the making namely Bryce Scott with money that the Dogs wouldn't be able to offer. The reason they are annoyed is that they put alot of time and effort into the juniors to prepare them for senior footy and then something like this happens! I heard on the grapevine that Lewis went to Tyntynder and told them of his intentions of not playing there in 06 and they were fine with that but requested that he didn't approach any players to take with him. Next thing you know they have a meeting with Bryce and he tells the club he approached Sea Lake, if anyone here knows Bryce Scott he is not the type of bloke that would approach a club TRUST ME. You did have a crack at a few others and i suppose its fair game. You have a good junior player out there in Matt Elliot it would be a shame for a club from around the area to come and sniff him out after you have put so much time and effort into him.

I'll take you up on that russ74, you give me a good reason why two other clubs are better than the bulldogs? They are a certainty for top two.

Some very good points, one thing i know for sure. And i mean it when i say i know, is that wes did not approach any of the younger players. He put the word out that he was leaving, and put it out loudly, but he waited for those players to contact him.

Are koondrook/Barhams moves this year to just try and field a local side? If this is the case they could work on bringing younger players up and giving them a run at senior level, i got a chance to see Trewin, Saville and Callow play in the seniors last year and all 3 showed plenty of potential, i also liked what i saw from a number of 17's-Ewen, Sage, McKenzie and McConell were the standouts. I watched them throughout the season but only got to see McKenzie on the rare occasion, does anyone know if he was injured at all?

I find that hard to believe, i think you'll find that wes and sea lake were the ones contacting bryce and not the other way around. I don't think they would have had to say much to him though.

I'm with you Russ, I don't think they have enough talls and are quite an inexperienced team (promising kids though). Rely to heavily on Carroll, who will win them games off his own boot, but if you stop him they will struggle to kick a winning score against the top sides. Will definitely make finals, but I don't think it will be top 2.

Clifton I know for a fact that Tyntynder have been trying to recruit Mark Roberts for the past 3 years, a young gun out at Sea Lake who is around the same age as Bryce Scott. Is this a shame??? Mate money talks and sadly it always will when your 18 or 19 getting a minimal wage and can pick up an extra $300+ a game.
Thanks Tubba, we are on! A few issues boys, Do you all think Wes would just sit back and wait for recruits to approach him? He is employed by our club to do the best job possible and if that upsets anyone so be it, Wes won't care. It's amazing the player cops no blame, its all the coach. The player actually has to decide where he is going and if they want to leave a club maybe that club has some problems, why can't they keep them?. It is easy for the club that they're leaving to deflect any potential criticism by having a go at the player or the coach of the club they're leaving for. Back to you Tubba, I think Swan Hill will finish on top with about 3-4 clubs capable of finishing 2nd including the dogs. I am prepared to risk Tyntynder as they have been March champions before and been ordinary in the main event. They do however have a coach that is loved by his players so this year might be different. We will see. As for the others I think Tooley, Boga, Balranald are the others. Balranald are the unknown and Boga are a bit as well. I saw all teams in the night series and still reckon the top 4 will be the same as last year.

Hey Russ, you say that Swan Hill will finish on top, can you tell me why? They have lost many quality premiership players and haven't replaced them.....

They won the flag they won by 10 goals Kelvin. Hugh Foott is a huge signing as well as a couple of others and there is still improvement to come from some of their players. They are a close knit bunch and the other contenders from last year are also worse off. Balranald, Tooleybuc and Tyntynder in my opinion arent as good player wise as last season. H Foott and Holt are as good a CHF,FF combo as there is. They have kept the same backline as last year and the midfield is solid- Beasy, A Foott, Brooks etc. Enough for you 69?
I tend to agree that the top 4 from last year probably won't change, but who knows what will happen at Balranald. Woorinen will be handy and so will Lake Boga, Lalbert and Koondrook. I think the top eight will all be fairly even and competitive and will fight it out for the 5. I think there will be a fair gap between that group and the rest of the comp. Swan Hill will not be as good as last year, there is no doubt about that but i don't think anyone else in the comp has improved thier list considerably either. Should be an interesting year hopefully. What about the interleague boys, they will have to pick as squad off what may be 2 rounds of football!

Hang on Russ. Your a Sea Lake supporter right and you are saying that Wes is employed and did approach the player named yet your little buddy Kelvin knows for a fact that Wes didn't approach them. Who is talking ******** here? Tyntynder were unhappy with Bryce's decision but understand that he is on apprentice wages and extra money is great. What is going to be better for his football, playing in a good/very good side in the CMFL or playing in an average/good side in the Mallee? Your right ultimately it's his decision but their will be no gain made by the young lad except for financial.

Trev you are a man that brings up very good points, But please believe me when i say that Wes did not appraoch bryce. I think you will find that players of the same age that were talking to Wes about going to Sea Lake instigated things there. e.g. Kyle Evans and Weekly, friends of Bryce. He always new that if he wanted, he could get him, but was not going to make the first move.. p.s. think bryce is a Balranald local origainally

I agree Russ his priority should be his new club not his old club but for people to be saying that Wes didn't make the approach to these young guys that are going out there is a discgrace! It may not have been Wes that made the initial contact but he would have been behind it!

good point Kelvin, Same could be said about Arentz and Tooley Manang.. If doesnt fire they seem to loose.. It is true that he just got married or something.......? Or was that another Arentz. Going on his mug shots i doubt this would be him!!

I think the key to them isn't shutting down the player themselves, its just cutting off the supply to them, they are both that good of players that if it comes down enough they will kick bags of goals, but if its not going in with regularity and with pressure then they will not be able to kick as many. I say win the midfield and you go along way to beating both the doggies and the saints in 06

Trev you have obviously done your homework or you have some knowledge about Bryce's past. He is originally from Balranald but has played with TFC juniors since U/11's or U/13's and alot of time and effort is put into junior footy at Tyntynder. Anyway we should agree to disagree on this subject because it's not really that big of a deal. The kid has got immense talent but it would be a shame to see his football go backwards (not implying that it will).

Good point tubba, although this theory can and should be applied to all grades and teams. Simply put, if the kicks coming in are s hit, then the forwards job become very difficult.

I know you haven't played footy up here for a while Tubba but on what you have heard and seen who has the better midfield out of these 2 sides. I think the Swans are the benchmark at this stage with the dogs, tooleytang & balranald breathing down their necks (although they are unknown quantity until Rnd 1). I reckon Russ should be taking bets on the top 3 not top 2 because there is no difference between finishing in either position.

Isn't Mick Giansiracusa a former Balranald player. Played junior footy for them and senior footy about 4-5 years ago?
Yeah Gino is an ex Balranald junior, his twin Josh played for them 3 yrs ago.
Mick has been at St Kevins in A Grade Ammos and Port Melb before that.

They won the flag they won by 10 goals Kelvin. Hugh Foott is a huge signing as well as a couple of others and there is still improvement to come from some of their players. They are a close knit bunch and the other contenders from last year are also worse off. Balranald, Tooleybuc and Tyntynder in my opinion arent as good player wise as last season. H Foott and Holt are as good a CHF,FF combo as there is. They have kept the same backline as last year and the midfield is solid- Beasy, A Foott, Brooks etc. Enough for you 69?
Not enough for me Russ. Your wrong about their backline. They have lost their full back in Leigh Davies and CHB in Tom Chatfield, 2 massive losses. I don't believe their backline will be able to cover those losses. For that reason I don't think they will finish on top.. It will be a very interesting Comp. this year with probably 4 or 5 teams capable of winning the flag. Will no doubt come down to whose got the least injuries come finals time.
i played for kerang a few years ago and i remember a guy that played for swan hill... Darcy Ryan... is he still playing for them and is he still the biggest sook going around in country victoria? just wondering if someone has tied him up and thrown him off a bridge like what should happen to him?

Bit harsh on young Darcy mate! You must be fairly hard at it by the sounds of things. On the midfield thing, i think from what i have heard about different players and from very limited veiwing i would think that the bulldogs have the best midfield in the comp. This should ensure that Carroll gets plenty of quality supply and they like to get it in quick to him and Clint Kelly and i can't see them getting outscored too often even though they have a height deficiency down back(and everywhere else for that matter). And just on Swan Hills backline i would think they haven't lost too much back there. Chatfield played CHF for the business end and Mark Oliver should be able to fill a key post down there fairly well. I know both the Gianseracusa boys and they did play junior footy at Balranald and are both gun players.

Hey Tub, who is Mark Oliver? wheres he from etc.
Was a junior player with the Swanners and played a few senior games when in under 17's but didn't set the world on fire, moved away to Ballarat for uni for 4 years and played some really good footy down there on all the big gun forwards. Used to play on the wing, but has bulked up a bit and found some more confidence. Can really run and set up play. Sneaked under the radar but i think will be a super player. Don't tell anyone though will you?;) Don't want anyone to find out about a replacement for Davies:thumbsu:

Trev you are a man that brings up very good points, But please believe me when i say that Wes did not appraoch bryce. I think you will find that players of the same age that were talking to Wes about going to Sea Lake instigated things there. e.g. Kyle Evans and Weekly, friends of Bryce. He always new that if he wanted, he could get him, but was not going to make the first move.. p.s. think bryce is a Balranald local origainally
Yeah fair enough mate that makes some sense. Bryce is originally from Balranald you're correct he started with the dogs in u/15's i think.

Height deficiency down back for the dogs?? tend to disagree, i do remember jez hayes towelling arentz up in the finals which was no more than a training session for the dogs, luke kelly can play and beat anyone big or small, simon ettershank is always honest and will do a job on the bigs and smalls. look out for two big signings to come up at the kennel in the coming weeks... both didnt play in the night series but will bolster the dogs. ill bet more than $200 that the dogs will make top 2!

The dogs will def be one of the teams to beat this year, but they will have there work cut out competing with the likes of Balranald, Swan Hill and Toolytang. A top two finish would not surprise, but you should be more careful with your coin, it is by no means a sure bet and your old man can't dig you out of every financial hole.
Look forward to seeing these new recruits in action, especially the ex doggie burning off opponents with his blistering pace, and saluting the Swan Hill faithfull with emotional fist pumps after snagging numerous sausage rolls like the good old days!

Highly decorated footballer, an absolute freak. First praccy match for Doggies kicked 5 on Rohan Smith, first VFL game for Werribee kicked 6. Multiple VAFA state player, plays anywhere, Lowerson was a team mate of his at St Kevins and Lucas a better player than young Sam. Would have been Captain at St Kevins but chose a change of scenery. A great bloke also, will fit in well at Balranald.

How many times did you watch the swans last year Russ? You must have seen them play against every opposition to come up with that assumption. The swans were a very good side last year and deserved premiers but 10 goals better than any side?????

Matt can play anywhere, most likely on ball. I don't know Neagle but Lucas is pretty much a perfectionist. He has definaely signed and is playing for Balranald unfortunately for St Kevins.

If they were 10 goals better than anyone else, why were they beaten by Tyntynder, and Tooleytang last year by 8 goals with a full side. I agree they were the best side (obviously, they won the premiership), but not 10 goals better. And against the tall forward lines you will find that Chatfield played down back..

Bad logic K-Dog. Were Kerang a 5 goal better side than Tooley last year? On your logic they were, as they beat T-Manang by that much. Anyone can be beaten on a given day. S Hill on their best up against any opposition at their best in my opinion (not worth much!) were 5 goals better. I admitted I exagerated when I stated 10.

i think you are right rooboy. however styles will very servicable this year, is in the veteran catagory, will control the traffic down back this year. although will probably sneak forward quite often to be along side carroll. Munro on the other hand, is a quality in and under tough on-baller, has had a massive pre-season, had an excellent night series and is shaping up for his 1st b&f with the doggies. not to far off 200 games either l am led to believe
