View Full Version : Ballarat Football League
Was talking to a few boys from Redan at lunch today, they mentioned Redan have set a clear benchmark this season in terms of trainors. Got a tall blonde piece from Uni to rub all the aches and pains and do the strapping. Glamour apparantely.
They said they signed 6 new blokes just because of the trainor.

Scoots would spend plenty of time on the rub down table, so I reckon he should be able to get some results of the rubdown chicks first hand!!

[quote=Kings Army;6954037]Interleague is cancelled due to the late start.
I have heard that they maybe playing a game on a Tuesday at some stage of the year just to get a rep side up.
Also went past the devils training last night and whilst snaring a free sausage met Darley's new recruit Paul Lewis. Signed last night. Not sure on the whole details about him but he was on Geelong's list in the mid to late 90's and played up in the central murray area after that. Just came back from overseas.
Should be a very handy mature pick up for the Devils. Think he is 29 so will help the young kids for sure.
And apparently possibly more recruits to follow suit in the next week or so. Genuine buzz at the club.
Get over Darley Vineyard!! last i heard there was 9 other sides in the comp.. how about the league starts realising that and invest some time in those clubs other than Darley.. not getting the WEST ADELAIDE operations manager job might of been because of this very fact!!

From the BFL website:
Following a meeting with the Bendigo FL and the WorkSafe VCFL, the Ballarat FL is pleased to confirm arrangements for the 2007 OptusWorld Ballarat FL representative football & netball sides.
Senior Football:
Goldfield Challenge Match Vs Bendigo FL
Date: Tuesday 5th June 2007
Venue: QEO, Bendigo
Starting Time: 7.15pm The game will take the format of an Under 23? game, with each side permitted 5 over age players amongst a squad of 26 players. The game will be played over 4 X 20min Qtrs, plus time on.
Who would the 5 over age players be? I reckon it would be out of Jordan x2 , Field, Edwards, Cape, miller, sutton, mcmahon and there would have to be one from sunbury. Have the key posts filled and on-ballers. Thats if they all want to play. 18 games straight is going to make it tough.
Who are some of the young kids going around?

Just make it a U/23 game as the blokes above would most likely not be interested in a pointless game anyway.

Not sure where Aaron Thomas will fit in as looked to me be very overweight and not interested. Where will all their gun recruits play? Has Lee James signed at Sunbury or just using them as a training venue?? I noticed he has pout in clearance from Riddell to Mulwala, would be a very handy pick-up.

I think A-train will play full back - can be back up to Pat Carriss but your right not fit at this stage. Lee James had 0 kicks 0 marks 0 handballs in the intra club game. May show the difference between the RDFL and the BFL is bigger than most think.
Sirvarlis and Henry will start round 1 in the middle, McCabe HFF or wing, Houlihan at FF and Beattie next to him. Mark's younger brother has been exceptional in the practice matches and is also a chance to play round 1. Mark may miss the early rounds after his little sister bit him yesterday and took a big chunk out of his arm.

KA I have only seen McCabe play 3 or 4 times, maybe the Darley guys are better to comment on this, but surely he would be playing on ball at Sunbury. Without knowing much about Savalis, although isnt he coming from a lower league, and never seen Henry play, after going on McCabes finals series last year, if he aint playing on ball then look out Sunbury.

If Power is fit he Sarvlais and Henry will start, Corey Brown as well. Sarvalis will be good - hard in and under player - he was Captain of parkside so Sunbury get added leadership from him as well.
McCabe will play everywhere - him, Griffen, Lewis will all rotate through the middle at different stages. They have a lot of options in the middle - but will they be quick enough to go with East Point is the worry.

I would say that Sunbury, Ballarat & Redan would have a quicker midfield that East KA? Faull doesn't leave the middle, Hutchinson plays goes forward but tends to float through the middle of ground, B.Jordon would be the only worry but a negative/fit player can run with him all day. You can through Banwell in the mix but he can be found out if you put a bloke on him that can run as hard the other way and exploit his defence.

I can't argue with you as I only saw East Point once last year. They came from 10 goals down at Sunbury to win by 10 goals. Maybe when a team has a 20 goal turnaround they look faster than what they are. But I thought there ball movement and speed was exceptional. I still think speed at Sunbury is the big concern.

31st of March - 95% sure it will be at Sunbury as it was at Gisborne last year. All three grades will be playing.
Look to Sunbury to field a very strong team. Power still has a burning hatred of Gisborne. Ever since his first game as a 17 year old - he ran out and beacuse he looked 10 the crowd at Gisborne were in fits of laughter. It was like a mexican wave of laughing that followed him to the forward pocket.
Not sure he ever recovered and maybe the reason for is small man syndrome.

No doubt he will be keen to go 1 up on the Bulldog's , so far it's one win each . Hopefully Gisborne field a side that's a bit stronger than it's been in these last 2 game's . I think only 10 or 11 senior player's played in last year's game.
The Corey Brown lining up for Sunbury wouldnt be the same Brown that played for Wang in the O&M and for Coburg and the Bushrangers would it? if so would dominate the league and be Sunburys best on baller.

How come Szvalas left Parkside if he was Captain ? Was it just to play with griffo or lots of cash?
Darley signed another bloke last night to. Danny Measures i think his name is. From Alice Springs & West Adelaide. Only young though but will be good.

Yes he was at Willy with Griffo.
South have two boys at Coburg - Jermey Krojs and Ben Peters. Both go very good and will be handy when they play. Chambers is at Werribee or Willy and was on the Swans list. The other 2 won't play.

I would not think there would be much to gain for him money wise, what little bit extra he may get from hepburn would just go in fuel and time, to get to training and game day he will have 6 hours on the road each week it would be roughly 1 hour each way from where he lives.

I think they will miss the finals - replaced by Melton South. To many of there good players have left. The past has shown Melton to be very strong for a year or two then have a year or 2 down the bottom of the ladder. They won the flag in 01 and missed the finals in 02 and 03. Won 05 and started to drop in 06 and will continue to do so in 07.

Looking at the transfers list they have lost a heap and only gained 4 or so... and unless those 4 are guns u would imagine it might be too hard a loss to make up.

KA i heard last night that the 2 parkside recruits this year to Sunbury are rumoured to have signed 2 year contracts with the WRFL club last season. Do you know anything about this.
On a different note there is a lot of politics in footy now with tranfers etc. People just going everywhere for money. back in my day blokes played at one club for their career, enjoyed the success with their mates and created a "club". Doesnt seem to happen anymore except at a few clubs. is that why Redan are so successful?

I think times have certainly changed Viney thats for sure, although I was a one club player locally, played at a couple of different clubs at higher levels and I dont see the big issue in players playing at different clubs if for the right reasons. Football provides a great medium for players to experience a range of cultures, develop friendships and I dont believe this should necessarily be limited to one club. The life skills players can take on these days by experiencing a couple of different clubs can be invaluable, besides, how do you improve your club if everyone in it has never experienced how other clubs operate.
Totally agree with you on Redan, for the rumoured match payments these guys shell out they certainly know how to attract quality players for a period of time. Wasn't so long ago they were a laughing stock.

A recent example of this vineyard would be a bloke named Brendan Closehy from mildura. We spoke to him a few times at Ballarat and were confident of a signature, when we followed up a call to him he had told us he's signed at redan and it was a fair bit under what we offered him. Why do Redan seem to get quality players with out dishing out big dollars? There must be somthing there doing that us clubs are not catching up on.. It baffles me.

They have got something there, but it definetely isnt that clown in the crowd with the drums. Having to listen to that every week would be a turn off.

Not sure of the 2 year contract - will follow that up. Parkside did knock Davis transfer back.
With that 2nd part you just need to look at Gisborne who have won flags with 95% locals. It can be done but it is very hard.

He should be banned... When does getting 3 year olds to bang drums inspire a team???

Becks is going well, should be a asset to the club, showed alot in the intra club last week, has been training every session and appears to be very fit. Looking forward to seeing him play well this year!!!!

Seriously, who cares if he touches up kids? The guy who bangs the drums at Redan is great for the game. It adds a bit of character to the league.
That guy was a nominee for Hank Evans' Supporter of the Year title in 2006, but beaten narrowly by the guy from Darley who threw a can at pensioner's head when his team was knocked out of the finals yet again.

You should have thanked him for trying to get you on to a winning side.

Very good midfield at East Point. Hutchy is the pick of the crop, gets it and uses it the best. Faull is more workman like and wouldnt be in the top echelon, but certainly does it bit for the team, BJ is a solid player, very fit, but still wouldnt have him ahead of hutchy if I had to pick one of them. Banners is 19 yrs old, who would be a better 19 yr old in the competition?

I thought he was superb in the early stages of the season, BUT, when a little physical presence was applied in the later stages of the year, he seemed not to have the same influence. Good player otherwise.

Fair call 19th, certainly in the finals the redan midfield fieldy and Jed, blomers, waighty peace just took over and man handled everyone. Some fair players in that though.
Best midfielders based on what I have seen:
All redan midfielders last year,
Hutchy, Delaney
Browne and lewis from sunbury,
Parker and mccabe from darley,
harris and young guy with crewcut on wing for ballarat,
Berger Melton
Gilbert Nesbitt Lakers

Premiership coach to take up BFL seniors challenge
SUNBURY premiership coach Peter Freeman has been re-appointed Ballarat Football League senior representative coach.
He will take charge of the BFL's under-23 clash with Bendigo in the Goldfield Challenge at Bendigo on Tuesday, June 5.
With no Victorian Country Football League country championships this year, this underage match will be the Ballarat league's on representative commitment outside junior ranks.
Ballarat and Bendigo will each be allowed five "over age" players.
Troy Scoble and Travis Chapman will coach the BFL under-18 squad again.
Ballarat and Bendigo will also clash in this age group in a Goldfield Challenge match on June 5.
RegionalOne BFL chairman David Smith welcomed the appointments.
"We are delighted to have retained the same coaching line-up which performed outstandingly last year," he said.

Well Hawk eye he might have won comp b and f's and goal kicking but it was under 18s footy mate its not much to rave about really is it?? well my werribee sources tell me that he supposedly twanged a hammy a week before the practice match all the new fellas had to play in to have a chance of making the cut....and then the week after he gets cut he is running around in an intra club at full tilt thinking he is chris judd. abusing senior players and even the coach. i mean cmon hawk eye who abuses the coach when they are no certainty of lining up in the seniors??? The SFC is about respect from everyone involved and there are certainly a large majority who dont have time for him.

Dylan is apparently training at werribee for pre season at least. i spoke to him when the marsh played cricket against sunbury united this year.

Shut up your liitle talk. Back to the under 18 thread... Minor.
Hey give the kid a break! :mad: ! he has acknowledged he has improvements to make, and he is young. Why cant he respond to the bagging session??
After all this is an open internet thread right?
He even did it without insults so full credit to the young bloke i reckon :thumbsu:

Yes he is pulling your leg Lica, It was against Nth City and it was a smashing however it was the other way. Bacchus Marsh Beat Nth City by a big margin.
All recruits played well with Holt and Miles impressing.
Holt will be a good inclusion as he will show the young list how to play the great game.
But don't get to excited Lica because Nth City will once again be very average!

Thanks Patty.
I'm not getting too excited.. Just wanted to hear that they played ok and by the sounds of things if they 'smashed' Nth City thats a good thing because thats what we should expect at the least. If it was close or they lost then I would be very, very worried.

Dylan is the sort of bloke that can turn a game on its head, sheepdog or not, the kid finds the ball! Anyone who can find the ball several times a quarter and can slot it through the big sticks more than he kicks points gets my vote.My opinion on his 'hot head' attitude is coz the kid has passion for what he does and wont let anyone get in his way,even senior players.Nobodies perfect and just needs to fine-tune the 'working as a team' aspect of it and save some of the agression towards the opposition.Already the makings of a great player and with age comes maturity.
