A source close to action at Irymple says... he came with a mate to training, unsolicited... hes going to Bendigo next year...
The club to be safe would have to put in an "Intent to Interview form"
It seems to be all Irymple and Mildura are the other clubs doing anything.

Too old to play with the pioneers?? 18 already? got his lience?
He is able to play as an over age ruckman, a relatively new rule to assist in the development of big men. You stalking him?[/quote]
Just interested, I was sure he was to old, but the new rule clears it up!
Not much had been said about him, someone was tring to tell me he'd had footy/job offers elsewhere.

Why would you think they were thinking of paying him? Don't recall anyone saying anything about money. Irymple aren't that stupid that they would throw money away. The kid has some talent but not worthy of being a payed player yet!
Not stupid!! (apart from last years success) Irymple has throw money away, burnt it, **********ed it up against the wall etc, for the last 20 years, how old are you?

Spoke to his uncle today and it is Joe, he is moving to bendigo for uni so is keeping fit since the pies aren't on the park yet (fu*k knows why).
Congo is disappointing me wanting to leave but i think there will be more water to pass under the bridge just yet on that one
If you knew the whole story then you might agree with his reasons and after talking to him i think merbein may have to find themselves another recruting committee( with the exception of Bathy). Very unproffessional.[/quote]
Look i've played for a few clubs in my time and merbein is by far the best team you can be around. People will do anything for you. As players we are there to play footy and thats it. All the politics and crap can be left to everyone else. Congo has my best wishes as we are mates and but it doesn't mean i can't be disappointed because he has taken the soft option.

It is a known fact that the committee changed out there a couple of years ago and the new one has put the club on the right track. Delray will back this up!!!! So there isn't any point in comparing it to the previous 18 years.

Well, no surprises there seeing as he is on the committee :rolleyes:
Boys please lets get the rumors somewhere in the ball park before we start spreading them.
1.) Ilario Cavallo has not been anywhere near the IFC. Yes it has been Joe that has trained with us. And he will be going to Bendigo to complete his schooling. Congo has trained with us both nights we did not approach him if he comes to Irymple it will be at his own discretion.
2.) C Lando has also been no where near the club and id say thats just a lie that he is coming accros. Yes his uncle does play for us but thats his only conection at this stage.......

What planet do you come from? The club was good but it has gone backwards very quickly. How many local boys are at the club now? Where have all the 25-30 year olds, that stuck with the club before it's sucess,but have now been crapped on?

Isnt it only if the club approaches a player they have to put in an intent to interview form???
Seen they have gone to Irymple on their own accord the club should not be required to put one in????

The form has a section for the club to fill in if the player has arrived of his own accord.
If a player is there with some intent to transfer it would be disrespectful of the club not to interview him, even in a casual way. Its no skin of their nose and it may prevent a substantial fine.
Correct Hill: if any player rocks up from another SFL club on his own accord or not you need to get the intent in or else it will cost your club $2000. The SFLwere even trying to fine the clubs that spoke to players at doms when they were maggoted. Thank god that never really took off ha ha

Where do u think mate. They have all been paid good dollars in the years we won the grannies and when we struggle on field they don't like it. Here is what most of them look at
1) Train your ars* off and play each week and get thumped, enjoy urself socially and take home a fair pay packet
2)Go to another club or a lesser league get your pockets filled even more and get success.
I know i prefer the former. I think it comes back to in juniors, i played in junior premierships and didn't like the club i was at so much, when it comes to the current day, getting out and enjoying a kick and a beer is what its about. Anyone who doesn't needs to wake up, we play SFL seniors FFS we are never getting anywhere cos we aren't good enough. This town isn't the same without footy but its the young fellas from merbein who have won what, 3 games in 7 years through juniors who are now in the 25-30 bracket and don't want to be belted week in week out. Its a case of you don't know what u have till its gone. Great club , great people, winning games is the only thing missing, it could never be as sweet when the victories come if u weren't here in these times.

A better one than you do obviously! I suggest you do some research on your club before you start talking crap! By research i don't mean asking those blokes that are there now. In fact if you want i can give you the lesson. Just for your info, ask around your club and find out from them if they were around when the club went semi-am and only won 1 game in 2-3 years. I'll guarantee you'd be able to count them on 1 hand. Your so called recruiters used to come up to the club of a training night, sit in their cars drinking and bagging the ******** out of the players and club. Not once did they come to a function and actually support the club.
The shoe also fits on the other foot. After we won some games and had some success, then and only then, did they start putting their hands up to help.
The club was once the best club i'd ever known but those days are long gone and until things start changing out there its going to be a struggle. I hope that these young players(current) do stay at the club but everyone has a braking point.

If these recruits are anywhere near as good as 'Crackers' Keenan or Wazza Stephens then Merbein have a lot to look forward to in season 07 ... :thumbsu:
No Congress and no Cavallo's, the future looks bright for Merbein ... :thumbsu:
Congress is a pretty good player. Plays FF in an average side. He wouldn't have the greatest supply from their midfield. From all reports he played against Mildura with a broken cheekbone until he copped a whack in the face and had to go off the ground.
Rather interesting that they had a family day at Kenny Park last year to promote themselves as the family club and a few of their good juniors want out ...

You have a fair bit to say Santoz about the pies, but we may just pause for one minute and see what your club has won over recent years........hmmmm sweet f*** all. They maybe struggling now and may for years to come but at least they have something to hang there hat on in recent years. Wasn't all that long ago that your club was at amatuer status. Tide turns quickly....

Many thing contribute to this I believe, 1, with VCE only being offered in town, 16-17-18 yo young punters making new friends, wanting to play in sucessful sides? 2, how long since Merbein under 13's or under 15's even played in the finals. 3. the 2 premiership sides came and went not a great example to young blokes at the club.

I'm not quite sure what your after or who you talk to but every time i see Matty, wether it be in mildura or melbourne, there is no doubt that he'll tell you he is from Merbein. It's not wether they payed them back or not , the fact is the club failed to look after it's juniors. I'll give you a list of players in recent times who have played juniors but have been burnt by the club in one way or another.
Scotty Phillips, Daniel Smith, Ashley Dannatt, Nigel Sylvia, Luke Gane and Joe Wright. These blokes were there when they struggled and have been through the hard times. Its just a shame that the club didn't look after these blokes. Only a small list but they all were talented juniors.

By bagging them, you are talking about me making a point of how some of their talented juniors are leaving because of they way they've been treated. As the club is struggling as you say, wouldn't it be smart to try and keep the better juniors they've got, not turn them away? A club that does this has every right to be bagged as far as I'm concerned. Why do you feel sorry for them if they're ladder position is their own doing?
Least we have somewhere to hang the hat....Where about do you put yours, on the floor?????
Yep, on the floor. How original. Very clever ...
I was another one of those blokes. Captained the U18s in 2002 and played reserves after every game. The seniors won the flag there that year. 2003 I had an interupted pre season and couldn't even get a game in the ressies! Not saying that I would of played seniors, but yeah. I'm at Bambill now, not paid, but enjoy it all the same.

so what are you trying to say??? all your've said is u were capt. played rezzies after that..were u expecting to play seniors or wat?
No never. It's the way they handled junior players. As a junior I watched the club give games to the young blokes for a couple of years. Then spent a whole lot of cash on back to back flags, where the only Merbein youngster to play in the flags was Colin Sylvia (straight from pioneers). Then everyone left and it was back to getting flogged and blooding the juniors again. I just didn't think it was a thing you'd see the Imperials or the Swallows doing. And they are strong sides with their juniors. Or am I just missing the whole point?

I think every sfl club suffers the same fate, 90% of players in the Milleawa must have played junior footy at one or another of the sfl clubs?? I think it comes down to how the club manages it.
Has Jason Hunt headed off to Bambill?
Did Merbein simply reappointment the coaches because of the dollar factor? or do they believe these is a way forward?

I heard woorinen were here on sunday and signed 3 Tigers including wethers, stephens but I forgot the third. They have a budget of $130,000 and are ringing any player in sunraysia who are unhappy with their current club.
This high profile recruit will be the one Irymple are offering a very large contract to. This shows how the point system in this league is not working.
Who is the high profile recruit Captain Tug Boat? And what contract have we offered? I think you might be getting taken for a ride......

Mate this is what i mean. If u had of played for more clubs you would understand what a good club merbein is to be at. The list of merbein players who are leaving or have left over the last 3 years all have one thing in common.
Because they were at merbein and stuck with them in the hard times they seem to think the club owe them something! Call it lack of success or sooking, its weak to give up and go to greener pastures. You must have struggled if u couldn't get a game in our twos.

It will probably take merbein 10 years to get over their current slump. To do that will take a lot of work by the current committee and subsequent committees. Unless they come into a lot of cash and are willing to buy another flag or two and then the cycle will start again.
To do it in ten will require a lot of work on their juniors, perhaps thats where the cash should go.
My sisters kids live in Mildura and went to a mildura primary school and yet are required to go to secondary school in merbein with a lot of other Mildura kids. These kids should provide merbein with a supply of players if they can convince them to play for the Pies. No clearance concerns just make Merbein J.F.C. more attractive,
100% correct Hill: But it just isnt that easy they need to find some really good people quick to get the club up and running again.The problem with the school kids are is as you said they still live in Mildura!! They may go to school out there but the parents are still based in Mildura and therefore thats where you will find most of the kids Still playing.
This is the tough question are the Flags worth it??? Would you rather have played for Merbein from 2000 and taken a pounding for a couple of years and have 2 P/Ship photos hanging up at home. Or played for Mildura/ Sth or even R/Vale wouldent have copped as many thumpings but you wouldent have the flags either. What do you guys choose???????
Dont get me wrong the future doesnt look great too me out there but it wasnt that great in 2000 and they picked up 2 flags so anything could happen.
If Flags = Sucsess then i would say that since 2000 they are the 2nd most sucsessful club in the SFL. They dont have 1 they have 2 P/Ships some1 must have done sumfin right. And im sure the community would have been happy.

Or played for Mildura/ Sth or even R/Vale wouldent have copped as many thumpings but you wouldent have the flags either. What do you guys choose???????
Dont get me wrong the future doesnt look great too me out there but it wasnt that great in 2000 and they picked up 2 flags so anything could happen.
If Flags = Sucsess then i would say that since 2000 they are the 2nd most sucsessful club in the SFL. They dont have 1 they have 2 P/Ships some1 must have done sumfin right. And im sure the community would have been happy.No brainer Delray, give me 2 flags any day of the week, you of all people should know that by what the swallows have gone through and the success they had this year...

That was an amazing feeling and i didnt even play!! So i couldnt even begin to imagine how the players would have felt. And i suppose your right you can always forget the drubbings but you will never forget the Flags!!
That maybe the reason why some people are so critical of Merbein. They may have never tasted true sucess themselves.:rolleyes:
It mighten be great to come last but if you dont come first who really gives a f...k. Not a great saying but how true??? I know i remember 2005 but i would like to forget it.:o

I don't know a lot about the Sunrasia comp so could someone give a rough estimate on payments for say a top 5 player within a club and high paying clubs' budgets. I understand this will vary from club to club but as a matter of interest to compare with some of the crazy figures getting thrown about by CMFL clubs. I read Woorinen have been going hard at your blokes & we all know about Balranald.

I would say $350 - $400 would be good money for a good player. Some clubs may pay around $50K including coach not real sure though what would balranald be paying?

Eagle is on that sort of money. Eaton would be on more at a guess. Apparently Irymple offered Dedini this amount but were blown out of the running by a certain CMFL side (can't remember which, not Balranald). Apparently they offered double this amount. Does that answer your question Bobby?

Bloody hell thats how much duds get paid down here (cmfl). As for Balranald about 3 or 4 times that but most teams would be way over that amount.

Paying big money runs in a cycle. While the CMFL can afford it at present it wont be long and it will dry up, the players chase coin somehere else and the standard never really improves.
Could CMFL sides match it with GVFL or O&M as the dollars you are talking about equate to these leagues and I would suggest some highly paid players in the CMFL would not make it in these leagues.

Alot of players on $200 or $300 wouldn't but most players who would be getting over $300 would make it easily.
Players on $500 hundred in the GRFL can hardly make it in the CMFL and that's half the reason CMFL clubs have to pay such big money for players; so really it's just a reaction to keep players from going down the road to that league that has driven the price up here.

Great call gasman. We all know the drought is killing country footy but if nothing else what it might do is bring down prices if some leagues shut up shop. More good players looking for a game and you can't pay them all top dollar. Let's hope it doesn't get to that but something has to give, it's just madness down here. Rewarding mediocre players like kings just boosts their pockets and already substantial egos.

On one leg they would both be better than anyone else in this league. Class footballers and hopefully they will be running around this year

They Wouldnt have had Shane Ganer thats for sure he was on top $$$. Imps may not pay out as much accross the board but they do still pay out it just seems as though they have been alot smarter then all the other clubs to this point.
But any1 who thinks they dont pay out are kidding themselves.

Of coarse we pay players, Atkinson dosen't play for peanuts but we are lucky, our locals play for premierships and not money.
How is Irymple's recruiting going? not much talk from you guys on who you have picked up.
We have a couple of handy big men, Mildura has recruited anything with two legs and south seems to be doing well.
What about other teams, has anyone picked up any guns?

Mildura have recruited 3 players including the new coach. Hardly a spree.

Did I touch a nerve? You guys need more than 3 players to be a premierhip side this year so I would expect more to be signed.
Apart from O'Bree who are the other 2?
Have you heard of any other recruits coming into this league that has been kept quite?

They had a couple of very handy players coming with O'Bree but could not get jobs organised quickly enough or help to find somewhere to live. Far to say Co Coach not overly impressed at present.

My red hot mail tells me Knight and Dawson were both over the line in early November. They both can play and are qualified tradies so had other options which didnt include Mildura.

What happened? after you guys spent all thast money on O'Bree you couldn't afford anyone else?
Should of stuck with the coach you had and then you would of been able to afford 3 or 4 good players to make up in the area's you lacked in last year:p

Can some1 just confirm is Knight playing for Mildura?? I know Dawson Is not.
I think Ant M will be there prized recruit. He is young and athletic will have a solid season im tipping.
As for the swallows not much going on at all will see how we go now that the clearnces have opened.
Trevor Johnston back to Sth can any1 at the kennel shed some light??

As was said before by Yablett, Knight is going back home to Rochy ...
As for the second few phrases highlighted, you are kidding aren't you? I hear from a reliable source that Trevor Johnston was going to go back and play at South until he received a fairly sizeable offer from your mob ...

Thanks for that Santoz i did read that post but i was not sure which of the many recurits he was talking about:)
As for TJ ill think youll find its the exact oppisite we had him till sth through the kanga. But Clearances have opened so we will see were he ends up!!!! I have been told that he has signed for Sth.
Some conformation from out doggy land will be great!!
Clearances open Ist of Feb.

Yeah you are probably right you tool, I wouldn't imagine it will be easy for me to get a game this coming season. However, I'm pretty comfortable with my ability or lack there of as you pointed out and have dealt with a long time ago, so you won't see me hiding behind a fabricated identity and bagging other people on a internet forum just to feel better about myself.
Would love to be part of it doughnuts but if I'm not good enough then so be it and good luck to the rest of the team.
I have been through some s h i t times with Mildura and am just happy to see them in the top half of the ladder.
Unfortunately not everyone is good enough and in your opinion that obviously that includes me, big deal not exactly the end of the world.

I was going to ignore your obviously baited comment. Robbo is the fittest he's been according to long time Mildura people. If you don't like him that's fine but leave that stuff off here unless we know who you are. We hope there is more pressure on guys like Robbo this season as it will mean we've improved.
