if there was a day that big rick wanted to kick a bag saturday should be the day against the arch rivals, and johnny bell will also get a lot of the ball again, who do you think will get the key forwards for L/G with the Kangas backline being so inexperienced, you have Shaun Martin (18yrs old), Mathew Trigg if fit (31-32), Wayne Crichton (21), Boddie Arthur (18),Dylan Anderson (27-28) and Craig Crichton (17) can they match it or will they be to inexperienced for the L/G forwards?
i think we hav boddie arthur (bigfoot20) back on the thread in a new name talking himself up again.

I really think Leitchy will be all over Cohuna. The games i've seen for Leitchy their forwards have been impressive and will steamroll Cohunas backline. Cohuna seems to be extremely strong in the middle with great team work but come to a stop when they hit the 50m. Any word on any of the other Melbourne boys re-signing for Cohuna? A big season next year if they can keep the side. Leitchy have a great chance for the top spots next year if they can pick up a few more key players.

Look guys, I have a real issue with what some people refer to as 'sheep-dogging.' In my mind I believe it is a joke to call anyone a sheep-dog. If a player drops off a pack and the ball gets out to him wouldn't that make him quite the smart player ? Ryan Prendergast is not the in and under ball-winner that some are but let's be serious here... Not everyone on the park is that type of player. Without the Prendergast's and Brent Forsyth's not many goals will be kicked. The only way I concede that players are weak and not committed is if they shy away from a collision or not put their head over the ball when it's their turn. Other than that the term 'sheep-dog' is quite ridiculous. And to be blunt, I think the people using this term fall under the category I've spoken about... Not going when it's their turn...

Couple of kids people may have forgotten about...
Also a kid is anyone under 21 in my opinion.
Grant Ford (SH) - TAC Cup b&f winner. Finds alot of the ball. Playing some VFL reserves. Played well with SH a few weeks back.
Steve Stroobants (SH) - Fit, fast, skilled forward. Kicks goals and takes marks. Would've been drafted if every team used all of its picks.
Josh Jenkins (LB) - A tall, athletic player. Can play in a few spots. Lately has been playing well on a wing. Is 200cm.
Jayden Lonergan (LB) - Strong half forward who can go back and have a stint on the ball. Runs hard at the footy and hits the man hard.
Chris Prockter (Tyn) - Big, strong key forward. Takes a wonderful pack mark. Still developing as a tall forward.
Josh Gaylor (SH) - Lanky forward with great hands and is a very tough match-up. Medium sized forward.

i think they mean people playing regularly for their home club, not representitive teams like the bendigo pioneers (prockter before he got injured, gaylor), Bendigo Bombers Reserves (Ford, Stroobants).. but im sure they would include them if they were playing regularly

Not sure about the other two but Mitch McGowan has been very impressive for the Raiders with his skill and courage. At only 16 and still growing this kid has a huge future. Coach Taylor has managed him well, playing him in bursts off the bench which has helped him adapt to senior footy. This time last year he was playing under 15s.

A lack of injuries would be a help.

He is by far the fittest player in the Colts side, and runs himself into the ground every week. Then usually runs out and plays a full game in the two's and usually shreds in that too. Oh yeah but he isnt fit(sarcasm).
I witnessed the match of the year at Tooleybuc on the weekend and although the Balranald didn't go home with the result they wanted, you had to walk away and say what a game. Tooleybuc to good in the end. The crowd was unbelievable as it usually is with Balranald and Tooleybuc. Highlight was when Darcy Ryan got sent off with the blood rule, the Balranald crowd went into hysterics, beeping car horns and everything...Unbelievable.

Gee, how things have changed. Tooleybuc roar back into contention now after defeating the Roos. All four teams are fairly evenly matched. I like the Swans as I feel their midfield and forwards are the best going around. Callan Beasy and Grant Tasca are very good defenders but who will line-up on Ahmat, Harris and the smalls from the Roos ? Don't anyone say Luke Kiel or Jezza Phelan please.

also...well we're on the subject of great young talent, Raymond Hender from TM would be up there. Its his first year of colts. He's only just 16 and has played most Senior games this year, not afraid to have a big shot at goal, very good awareness, applies great tackles and has that black magic that can spark a team (has been instrumental at getting TM colts over the line this year). Played a very handy game against Balranald on the weekend. He's got a very big and strong body on him but could be a lot better if he lost a couple kg's so that he could get and play more gametime.
Its a rare thing for such a young body to be thrown in the midfield of a team like TM with midfielders like Darcy Ryan, Ash Thompson, Jack O'rourke, etc.
The only weakness in his game is his height (which he makes up for in his leap and agility) and his weight.

I didn't say that Bell wasn't a gun.Simply just stated that nobody had refered to him as a gun in that particular quote.Would be suprised if he didn't win the B & F at Kangas.

proves my point , that how good cohuna is !!! very average !! when are they ever going to attract big name players , they should have some power by being closer to melbourne than other teams , rather than fringe players in not so:) strong comps

It is very hard to attract people to small country towns.However i'm sure that every club is out & about trying to recruit for next year.And just for the record Bell is a highly rated player in this league

I would have thought the Essendon District Football League was a fairly strong comp. Not a bad league to draw players from if you can get them

I play in the EDFL and your right it is a very strong league. Dont be surprised if a few more players from this league sign up to cohuna and surrounds to play in a warmer climate and experience country footy

Cohuna is still a fair distance from Melb it's not like we're Gisborne....
pretty ill informed comments. Sounds as though you have some "history" with Belly but i think you've come on the wrong forum to sink the boot in as he's pretty well respected on here.
I'd rather The Herald Sun anyway....

Any chance of the kangas getting ross hipwell back to the club, very aggressive skilfull flanker.
When was the last time the kangas played finals footy? When they first entered the league they were strong in all 3 grades of footy and they did recruit high profile players yet still couldnt get the elusive flag perhaps they have to throw everything at the bow & arch to coach them

You are a tool mate!! The Cohuna sides I have witnessed this year have plenty of guns, the problem is they are never all firing at once. When they have a little more experiance under their belts as a side, they will be a very strong side. Sure Cohuna could throw the cash around like many other clubs and buy themselves a flag but where does that get them in the future when their young up and comers are ditched for Melbourne players?? Country clubs need the support from the community to field sides and if the sides are made up of outsiders it won't be long till the town turns their backs on the club. Hammond, Chrichton's, Spring, Grove, Trigg, Arthur, Bickerton, Bruns, Bell, Easton and Bradley all are extremely skillfull, tough players that give 110% each and every game. This list would give their heart and souls for this team and their town and you know what thats really what footy is about.
Good Luck Kangas on 2009.:D

Every club recruits players & only one club wins that elusive flag every year.There is more than one club in the comp that hasn't won a flag.Would be good 2 see Ross Hipwell back in playing at one of the local clubs

all sides have to recruit to win, its that simple...im not saying that a club should recruit an entire seniors side, like some have, but the opportunity to play with a handful of older more prized recruits will help bring the best out of any teams younger players...

I do agree with giving young kids a go instead of recruiting people into the club.However it is hard for small country towns to rely on locals for success.As a lot of clubs do recruit a lot of players so it makes it difficult to remain competitive in the competition.Unfortunately money has wrecked country football.To many people are playing for $$$$ & not for the love of the sport.

I'm quite sure that when all clubs recruit they hope that they recruit quality footballers both on & off the field.However you don't now until they are at your club playing.It takes alot of hard work & time from volunteers to run a club & it's very easy to sit back & pass comment on what you think a club should do.

hmmm.... if this cohuna team has plenty of guns, then what you call guns must be just players that just show glimpses of good football(because i havent seen many consistent good footballers out your way, guns win flags for ya). A gun should play well every week. if ya rate your team so highly why dont ya just worry about beating a team like worineen and not run ya coach off the bench when he is about 45.
But thats what country footy is about, isnt it?

As far as i can tell, Cohuna dont have any guns. Using Tooleytang as an example, they have Ash Thompson, Ryan O'Sullivan, Lance Brown and Jarrod Arentz as their guns and this is the team that won last years flag (and thats in no way disrespecting the other players in the Tooleytang team.) Don't think Cohuna have anybody, Jon Bell included, that fall into the class of the above four players.
A "gun" player is someone who can win a game from their own boot every week, not just show flashes of good football every now and then. Considering you could count the number of games Cohuna have won this season on one hand, you could hardly say they have any guns.

Swan hill are a good side but i dont see them holding up the cup at the end of the year could only manage to beat cohuna by 8 goals and that was after a big last quarter they only had a 3 goal lead going into the last change
Swan Hill had 4 quality players missing on saturday. Its a big call to discount a side that has a spine like swan hill.

You are an absolute idiot Auskick. Anyone who has watched or played CMFL footy over the last 10 years will tell that Lance is one of the best the league has seen in that time. 2 league b & f's says to me that the man is an out and out gun. The best player that i have played with
