View Full Version : Ballarat Football League
Yes to watch Joffa he was classy, I agree lakers dont and havent really had enforcers. But they reckon Joffa carries a different aura and that he created an intimidating factor , when he was on top he lifted others and bought others into game, but they also said if there was hard ball to get he would get it. Is he still involved with lakers?
Terry Simpson, 'Crazy' Willams, Chris Gayle there's a couple from my days earning $30 a win at the lakers in the late 90's. As for Joff, used to get bashed senseless every game and just kept getting up and getting the nut. Never once raised a fist in anger, but the word was he could go if he needed to.
Went to watch spider moloney in a GF for the lakers aginst Sunbury and from memory a player I think they called twiggy did some pretty freaky things . . . does that sound right?

Peter James. Unbelievably talented player, Alan Jeans rated him highly at Hawthorn during their dominant era. Couldn't get the best out of him down there, was a bit injury prone I think.
T.Little:Strathmore or O&M league
D.Griffin:100% to be playing at Sunbury
J.Lewis: one more year - correct
N.Chalmers: may play 2nd half of the year.
Big job for Pat Carriss next year with Tim Little leaving. Matt Baird and a few others could be off to Pascoe Vale in Essendon District !!

His goal from deep in the pocket that day was amazing.
His goal from deep in the pocket that day was amazing.i saw that twiggy james get shirt-fronted by wayne cracknell from bacchus marsh in the mid - nineties. i honestly thought james was dead. ******** it was a nasty hit. i don't know if he ever quite recovered from that bump.

Well Well Well !
I have a new boss to answer too now, let me get one thing straight from the outset, I know for a fact that you had a friend put in a big reference for you on the interview selection panel, you are an aquaintance of the previous 2ic(TIM BEACHAM enough said!), does someone think that this appontment smells!
It seems you either have to play at Daylesford or Darley to get a gig at HQ nowadays, i feel thats why Anderson didnt get the appointment because he would not conform to the control freaks that sit up in their offices at HQ.
Now with that said i expect that you will be seeking me out to continue to give me my weekly informative column in the Footy Record, I want a far greater scope and leeway as those oxy morons in the precious little office at saxon house last season gave me a rodgering as i offended a few too many people, Get a Life you Misfits of Society.
I have plent of juicy gossip for the first edition, You know my number give me a a ring and i will sort out my contract details, let me tell you though I am worth more than what you are paying the big boofhead as the CEO.
The BFL in 2007 will be very interesting as my spies tell me that the Redan Lions, Devils, Bloods, and Lakers will be lucky to field sides cause they have lost players by the truckload, none more so than the Bloods.
Very interesting as the Sunbury Lions have spent a wad full $$$$ Power has told his recruiting men to get me a side and spare the expense, the Panthers are spending money they dont have $$$$, The Marsh and Burra need to spend Truckloads$$$$$, The Kangaroos have spent $$$$$ truckloads to keep the Jordans, and the Swans will be out to offer plenty of $$$$ to build on their young list who will be the BIG IMPROVERS!
Well hope you have a great day my friends and i will be back at a later date to bring you up to speed once the teams hit the training track (Dust Bowls) and i get around to clubs to see which duds are going to be in the first edition for 2007. Stay Tuned.......

Heard you have been terrorising the BCA in the off season, and doing to cricket what you done to the BFL in the past 2 years.
I can confirm that Anderson withdrew from the BFL gig after the 1st interviews - he made the shortlist off 2 but after a meetin with VCFL Chief he decided to stay at the VCFL. Reckon he would have been in the box seat.
Not sure about brandishing the new Ops guy a Daylesford boy - played most of his life at the Swans and is back there.
Keep punching BEAK !

Rumor has it, that the player being considered has just returned from over seas for the past 18 months, played at daylesford before leaving, and will reunite with his brother and former club at Ballarat. There are still a few possibilities, but I believe he is the favorite.
If he signed at Darley, Im sure he would get it....BANG!

Craig Baker has been appointed coach at Gordon after not getting teh Darley gig. Lot of pressure on Darley to maintain there list with South & now gordon trying to attract their players.
Cox is linked with Hoppers but hopefully he stays at Darley. A great local talent. Stephenson & digger you wouldnt expect to leave the club either. Played their all their careers so why leave now to a club that has had no success.
well made up though learmonth. You must have something to do with teh BFL with your mail on TB's replacement?

Luke Beattie, from Sth Bendigo... Heard that Daylesford were pretty close to signing him as well. I think he may stay at Sth, but Sunbury would certainly have more cash to entice him..But not everyone plays for the $$$.
Sunbury's reputation would hurt them in being able to attract players.

What’s going on here fellas, slipped to the second page.

Noticed at about 11.30 last night that a BF member by the name of rod ward was browsing the thread. Can we expect to see Aaron None soon?
what about rock star fisher has got any new players to the 2 clubs he coach's. In case ballarat people forgot there's two teams in that club, and they were both retarted as his tats

Agreed that Shane Fisher has got some issues –eg Dying his hair and shocking tattoos but to say he is on top of two retarded clubs is a joke. They were arguably the best team in the comp during the year and were beaten by a better side on the day in the Grand Final. Dan and Ben Jordan are both superstars and are the last two reigning Henderson Medallists, they are also great blokes and loyal who knocked back many lucrative offers to have another crack at the flag for East. These two together with a relatively unchanged line up, and some handy pick ups will see them go close again.
Oh and its retarded not retarted.
Bobby Giovanni
29 Nov 2006, 08:31
I can remember the days were Fisher would get bashed with regularity during high school; perhaps he thought getting piercings, dying his hair and getting the worlds worst selection of tattoos would make him look hard.
It doesn't. He just looks like the same big skirt lifting mincer he's always been.
Did he used to go out with the high jumper chick or the basketballer chick?

It is arguable that they were the best side, but only for the home away rounds... I think they beat redan in round 3 or 4? Didn't get close to them for the rest of the year except qualifying final... But Golden Point / East Ballarat will go close this year. This is my final 6 at this stage...
East - Haven't lost many
Sunbury - Will bounce back after last year
Ballarat - Could win it.
Darley - Will have a good year again.
Melton - Scrape in
Redan - Too many losses.
IMO.

Will Redan slide this much?? Obviously they have taken a few losses at this stage but they still have some very good players and historically they tend to recruit very well. I would think they'd still be a top 4 side, just cant see them sliding that much.

Sunbury always have a good side, but its their mentality and off/On field leadership which costs them.
DArly will be lucky to make the 6, too fragile and will lose a lot of quality players, + they have a very old list!
East/Point will be top 2
Redan will be top 2, but would not be surprised to see them end 3rd and make the G/F- They will recruit well and be amongst it. Still have the best player in the league in Julian Field and Im sure he will be able to coax a few North players. Have heard Leigh Ryall is one already across the line
BAllarat with the Nunn Brothers equalling the Jordans as the most potent brothers in the league will end top 4, but are still a year or 2 away.

Starting to get abit late for those big recruits you'd think... Last year they had Edwards, Field, Snibson, Bridges signed very early.

They have 4 guns about to be named. With Redan losing a few East Point is the team they need to make ground on. Word is Sunbury is using an ex Gissy man to set up the club the same way Mick McGuane did at Gisborne.

There must be no other brothers in the BFL for you to make a comment like that, so you may be right.

All the Nunn boys can play but they all are injury prone. Mark is a big frame out on the ground, but you are right he does go missing from time to time. Have seen him play a fair bit of footy for D-Ford and also for the Rats. The game against Sunbury last year when he kicked 6 in the 2nd half was a class effort, but there has been other games where he'd be lucky to touch the ball 5 times. Unfortunatly his bad performances outway his good.
If he can get consistent(and injury free), he'll be massive for Ballarat this year.

Yeah I was probably a bit harsh on the "Sister Act", Yeah he does cop it for the ordinary ones, I think northey likes him as he saved them a few times this year. He doesnt sit under the ball that well, thats when he plays poor. Hard to stop when get on a lead.
Couldnt think of many brothers all the same, actually only the Caldows at Ballarat and they look like they can play one is meant to be running around with roosters and other is a rebels player, would reckon they will be better than sister act, when same age, from what i saw in semi final.
Do reckon ballarat can improve or is that it?

Is it true that they have just built there 1st High School in Sunbury as the percentage of people passing grade 6 in Sunbury has risen to 10%..????
Absolutely!! the scary part is that it took u knuckle dragging country hicks 10 years to figure out how to beat this grade 6 mentality.
Now that Sunbury has a high school I guess we are good for another 10 years of flogging u couldhavebeens!

I'm guessing it will be a good quality catholic school!!! Must have a minimum 2 teeth aswell as a 3-5 year good behaviour bond. Would probably need a creche added aswell so they can leave there 8 kids somewhere whilst they go to school!

Agreed that Shane Fisher has got some issues –eg Dying his hair and shocking tattoos but to say he is on top of two retarded clubs is a joke. They were arguably the best team in the comp during the year and were beaten by a better side on the day in the Grand Final. Dan and Ben Jordan are both superstars and are the last two reigning Henderson Medallists, they are also great blokes and loyal who knocked back many lucrative offers to have another crack at the flag for East. These two together with a relatively unchanged line up, and some handy pick ups will see them go close again.
Oh and its retarded not retarted.
My mail from over in dem hills down the road from Mountain Men Country is that the Mighty Hepburn offered D Jordan a paypacket never seen before in the CHFL. $2000 per game, A report accross my desk also told me that Sunbury had a real crack at B Jordan $20k for assistant role to Serge, if this is fact then the East Point Club must have some serious backers behind them for 07 as they have retained them both.

No, no, no, I'm just a plain old white collar ********kicker who enjoys a good banter. I do follow quite a few leagues besides BFL. As for the CHF, I wont name as I'm not 100% sure if the deal will be done, but stay tuned.

As a new scribe to big footy, can anyone confirm any of the "New" players at Bacchus Marsh as previously posted by Lica a month ago. It seems that everything has gone quiet at Maddingley Park.
Everything is going fine at the Marsh for next year I would say. I've just gone quiet on here because I probably named a few players to early (having said that - I think they are all going to be there next year) and I haven't been paying to much attention as to who has been signed up recently. I think you'll fined a very differnt looking side compared to last year. Maybe Patty could enlighten us maybe????

Could it be that the Jordan's are committed passionate footballers with a job to complete and money cannot buy their soul???.

Would be a handy pick up. after all I here Belly (the 06 2's coach) has retired following his premeirship win. Serge won't have his in depth knowledge and expertease to assist in 2007.
Is it true that "Bucket Mouth" had some 2's players lay down in the later part of the season so that he could have them in his side. After all it is widely known that Belly is the football guru at Sunbury??? - and should have had the senior job.

Thanks Lica, Have the Marsh started training yet, and new recruits turned up??? The rumor I heard was that the Marsh had picked up at least 10 new players, if true should make a remarkable difference next year, at least be more competitive anyway.

You could relocate the entire East Point team to Maddingley Park put them in Cobra jumpers and they still would not have an impact on the competition. "A new coach and a fistfull of players does not a premeirship make". BM need more than just a buff up:rolleyes: a total rebuild is required to get this side moving:D

Who's talking premierships?? I just wouldn't mind going to the footy and seeing competitive sides play, as you would probably agree Beak, there's nothing worse than watching sides get pulverised every week, becomes a bit monotonous and boring.:confused:

Have to agree with you I just hope that the powers that be at the Marsh realise that it is hard work and not whingeing and whineing that gets the results. EP, Ballarat and the like have got on with the show and look what they have achieved. BM need to understand that it takes commitment and dedication to the cause to achieve results. The team is only as strong as its foundations and if you maintain a united stand the results will come.;)

My understanding is that the Marsh, have been putting in place, measures to try and combat their current poor on field situation for some time, by improving what they do off field, and by doing this, give themselves a chance on field, let's hope so, well I do any way, at least I might enjoy a beer more on a Saturday instead of crying in one.

Have to agree with everything your saying there Bernie. I think the foundations are being built in 2007 (they started this year - the fruits have already shown by some of the recruits they have got for next year) and I like you am hoping I dont have to cry into my beer as much as I have had to in the passed two or so years.
Yes the marsh has started training.

I hope for the cobra's sake that they buy heavily, because for one, not alot is coming by way of 18's, and secondly the new coach's win/loss record is nothing to get excited about.

This is exactly the problem to which i refer. You cannot buy committment and passion for the club. You can buy short term devotion;) but then when your money is gone you lay alone in your bed pondering why you even bothered.:confused: Without the avenue to develop your kids you are going no where. Kids are our future and until the boneheads that run some of these clubs realise this they will ride the roller coaster for ever.

Rumour has it a few new faces appeared at Sunbury's first training session last night. Could the Lions be quietly on the prowl:eek: .
Noticeable loss from the training track was reigning reserves premeirship coach "Bucket Mouth Belly" story has it that the refreshments available on the boundary line are far more satisfying than the players allocation so "Bucket" has decided to join the experts in the sports bar on game day. Something tells me that he will be a champion at coaching these boys as well;)

Point taken Beak. The Marsh do have some good kids, but have lacked the experience around them over the past few years, so hopefully some experience may rub off on them in the next couple of years, so hopefully they ]'ll be ready to take that next step and then provide some local experience for the next lot coming up. Only time will tell:rolleyes: . You seem to know a bit about the goings on at Sunbury, what are the latest movement there, new players, players left etc.

Where is the split in the Marsh where kids either choose Devils or Cobras??? Is it different schools or just once you cross the freeway. Darley seem to reguarly have good players come through juniors where you prob cant say the same about Bacchus Marsh.

You know i don't like to start rumours:rolleyes: . But definite outs are Little and Baird. Info says that Little is a done deal at Tatura 4 1K a game and baird is still being romanced by them but has not yet decided where to go. Word is he feels he needs a change from Sunbury to revitilise his enthusiasm. I am led to beleive that baird's replacement is a handy FF from just up the track but we will have 2 wait and see. 2 big losses for Sunbury but once again i am told that they have a fistfull of local lads wanting to return from the amo's and VFL.
Questions to consider - 1. How many Chooks can live in a Lions den?? 2. Does surge need someone to help him "keep the peace"??
Previous predictions on this thread may come to fruition so keep your beaks to the ground for the goss.:cool:

Actually JC, alot of the determining of who kids play for,(either Marsh or Darley) tends to stem from where relatives have played in the past, and also location. I know alot of the kids I grew up with played at Darley, because there Father and Uncles, and their Grandfathers and so on played there, more of a history thing than anything else, but then you have the relocation of new families to the area and most of the new housing developments are in the Darley area, so that will also play a part in where kids will play. Also a lot of it when growing up was that families didn't want to travel to Ballarat in the winter and prefered to travel to "Sunny Kilmore" and places like that instead.
I hope for the cobra's sake that they buy heavily, because for one, not alot is coming by way of 18's, and secondly the new coach's win/loss record is nothing to get excited about.
I beg to differ. Tyson Shea could still play Under18's next year and got valuable game time in the seniors this year. Won the best and fairest ahead of Brett Connors and I remember a game against Redan where he beat Edwards for possy's for two quarters directly matched up against him. The kid is an absolute gun.
There is also a guy in the Under16's that is an absolute gun aswell - I'm not sure of his name. Came second in the league best and fairest last year and has represented Vic Metro in his age group I think?? Could be wrong about that........
There is another guy in the Under 16's possibly Under 18s thats ment to go all right. Played this year and was previously at Darley.
any noteble recruits started training...any noteable absentees...
Only absentee worth noting is probably Charles Hunter. He has gone to Westbourne in the Ammos with Bretty Connors I think.
Of course Aussie is out for the year but is still involved and looking great after his reco. The guy is a freak... I cant believe he is back running so well after 3 1/2 months from his op.
