I reckon Trev Ryan would have spoken to him and Merv will try to and Ash Connick would as well all being coaches that have seen him play recently down Swan Hill way
So would have Eato.
They didn't play together did they? Before eato went to Irymple.

Done deal I reckon.
Maybe tey dont want to sign him dont forget Matt walder is back in town coming off coaching a premiership at Wagga. So who knows?
Done deal I reckon.
you missed my question, yes or no?
Jason Eagle has signed at Airlie Beach for big dollars!! Huge loss and with Eato's uncertainy they could be in a bit of trouble next year.
If Eato does not get the job he will be offered another coaching role in the RFL!!:eek: (Not Wagga Tigers)
whats the latest gossip recruiting wise? i hear imps have got sonny, petrie and a pretty handy player from ballarat. is the d-train coming back to town?

- Petrie, Sonny & Ballarat bloke to Imps plus I heard that Mark Cross and Phil Nash are coming back to play as well. Also heard that Robbie Smith will take over the Imps Reserves coaching job.
- Eaton has signed to coach Meringur with Eagle as an assistant, both looking to further they're footy careers.
- Matty Walder to be considered for the coaching job of the Australian International Rules Side if and when it is re-instated in the future.
- Adam Houlihan, Josh Houlihan, Damian Houlihan & Ryan Houlihan all playing for Merbein this year. Carlton considering a trade deal for Ryan with Roger Bath in the calculations.
How much dribble gets spun on here?

Spoke to Griffith (RFL) the club who was trying to recruit both Eagle & Eaton during the week. :eek:
Eagle told them he has signed up for a side up in Nth QLD which i thought they said Airlie Beach. Griffith offered him good dollars and a job to start this Monday with a vehicle but he reniged for QLD.
Eaton is waiting on Irymple to see if he gets the job as he wants it for another 12mths before he broadens his horizons!!

Mate, I'm happy to wear it if I'm wrong. If you remember back earlier in the year Merbein people were spouting the same stuff, fitter than ever! some good recruits! Bennet Deale kicked more goals than Arentz in the under 16's! do I need to go on? As I said, I'd be happy to eat more words if I'm wrong.

good luck, i believe it's important to keep the even/there abouts to be healthy.
Can someone shed some light on the 5 or so youngsters from the SFL that have been asked to try out at North Adelaide U/17's next year?

Rabbito im not sure who you are but you need to get something clear. Dealo isnt even a has been, he is a never was. That talk was brought up by some humourous imps folk who decided to have some fun. Yes that arentz stuff maybe true, but lets put it in perspective. It was U16s with walpy having the dream team and manang getting flogged each week. Not to metion it was around 14 years ago.
Yes he tried to have a run this year, but after tearing his achilles early in the season, he didnt really participate for the year.
For those who know me for who i really am, they could agree that he doesnt like his name getting dragged through this site. espicially in the contect that isnt true.

Im sure Dealo is big enough to to defend himself...anyway who really cares what gets said on here, its all in good fun banter anyway, and its country footy for F&*@ sake not like we are playing AFL......

Delray why dont these players in question just say no instead of leading clubs on by saying they are interested but really they are not!!:thumbsd:
The problem here is a club has an interest in theses players but the players in question just play them like a fiddle for there own gain!!:eek:
Like your club these other clubs are actively looking for quality key position players or coaches and they do not need to be led on as there window of opportunity is only small to recruit.
This a common happening and will happen more than it wont.
Please dont call me a liar again.................:mad: as both players were contacted and conversations were had but the players in question declined for reasons as stated and not made up!!

Well the Eato saga has been finalised at long last.
Now who knows whats happening at Red Cliffs. Mick F could be a hot property he is no pointer at Mildura. But I reckon a few others would be interested.
Robinavle will be searching far and wide for a new coach as well. Any ideas? Imps too.
Are the finances up to scratch at Wenty can they afford to keep Alvey on the list??
Just a bit to stir up some action.

Calling him an absolute jet is a bit of a stretch. Has a good fitness base and finds plenty of the ball.

Having played against this bloke on 4 occassions this year i and having him carve us up on 3 of those occassions i think it is fair of me to call him an absolute jet. Get him up there in the good weather and the firm tracks and he will be one of, if not the premier on baller in the league. That's if he is heading up there

That is a bit of a stretch as well. He wouldn't be the premier on baller in the league he's in, let alone the SFL. I agree with you that he'd be more than handy if he heads up there ...

I watched Elmore vs someone this year and plenty of SFL games and there is a big difference in standard. But if as you say he is THE premier onballer in the Heathcote league then he will go well but good luck in trying to be better then Eato, O'Callaghan, O'Bree, Hards etc.

Have played against all three of the blokes you have mentioned and he is the equal of them all. The only blokes that i would rank as better that i have seen would be Lance Brown and Sean Charles. Anyway I am interested to see where he ends up

Well locally thats got to be RC, Robinvale and Imps.
Imps ...don't think so
Robinvale...again dont think so
Red Cliffs ....I wouldn't of thought so but maybe. I expected RC to appoint an ex AFL player in the mould of Danny Hughes. Largely because I expected them to be cashed up seeing as if they haven't spent much for a while. At least their results suggest they haven't. If they have then it was a poor return on their investment.
But then maybe all the clubs aren't in the SFL or maybe they're not all senior coaching roles????

Walder is the most successful player/coach to come in to this league in years. Yes he will be 38 at start of next year but lets look at his honors in the past 6 years
2 Premeirships as coach 2004/2007
Level 2 State Level Coach in ACTAFL 2006
All Australian Player in 2006
Vice Captain of New South Wales 2006
Runner Up in club B&F 2006 and 2007 missing by 3 votes on both occassions.
Top 5 in League B&F 2007
Not to forget past McLeod Medallist and League Medal in the Wimmera in Premiership year.
Surely all 3 clubs would be interested in a player with those credentials.
Oh yeah, and did a full pre season at AFL level when he was much younger. Just cause you play AFL doesn't make you a good coach.
I know he has signed to coach a club which will be announced early this week.

Wasn't painful at the time and the arm seemed to be on the mend. It was infected the week before the Granny and the scar split open on the morning of the GF so i figured there wasn't much I could about it then. I had a guard made up to protect the bone and it did its job well.
The infection spread after the GF and now they are trying to get rid of it. Have removed the plate and screws and removed the infected bone leaving a nice gap there.
Possible bone graft once the infection has been cleared.
All the operations are trying to clean out the bone and the wound of the infection. Its a pain in the butt.

I follow Merbeinfc pretty closely and was hoping Walder and Spivey would go back and play a couple of years there, but i reckon Merve's going to get a crap load of players and Merbein i don't reckon will say no to anyone he wants, so having said that! Merbein Football Club Premiers 2008 and 2009. While Merve is there who cares how they win a premiership!:thumbsu:

Guys from out Black and White Land please understand that the points system is pretty simple 5 quality players = minimum of 20 points. I think merbein will have about 26 or 27 to play with. Add free locals mark Duscher, maybe ben (my info is he is staying in bendigo) Whiterod (???) + 1 extra player. That would be an injection of 9 players.
To play good finals footy the quality of 6 non locals would need to be in the vacintiy of Matt carn, Jason Eagle, Brad eaton, Brad Hards, Ryan Hards, Bull Atkinson, Mick Faulkhead, Steve Denaro, Danny Obree, Ant Matthews, Jake Ansty, Mark Alvey B & A Rigby just to name a few.
So please guys unless u land some serious guns and actully get the real good locals back just a solid improvement on last year would be accetable in my opinion.

I will name a few players that may return to Magpie land along with swervin mervin. I haven't heard anything other than a few of the balranald boys and ex locals are returning.
Here goes - and some good inclusions that would make them very much in the mix for fourth spot.
Chooka Byrnes
Matty Chilton - Possibly heading overseas with his misses.
Leigh Riordon - Made a comeback last year at Balranald
Mark Ducher
Luke Gane
Points = 4 as past SFL club for all except Riordo is Merbein.
Like I said, I haven't heard anything just my thoughts on those that would definately consider returning under Neagle that I know of.

Bath is not a big loss if he leaves and Jase Hunt had a good year in millewa but might struggle to step up a level after his injury a couple of years back. [quote]

Correct me if im wrong but even if you bring 9 or 10 players in, the other 12-20 players still arent up to getting team going..i cant think of many that would walk into a spot at the top sides???

It doesn't take 21 great footballers to improve the club. If you bring in some quality players (Which is about all you can do under the points system anyway) along with a decent coach who can utilise and improve the current players better then they will definatley improve alot on last year. I don't think they will get close to challenging for a grand final but with some good inclusions and a good game plan then there is no reason why they can't contend for fourth spot which would be a realistic but difficult goal for them.
Robinvale South and Red Cliffs are in the same boat. Wentworth did no better than the year before and without any handy inclusions they will be battling for fourth as well.
Imps and Mildura should still be up in the top three with Irymple possibly slipping and fighting for fourth if they lose Eagle. Jess is gone and I have heard Carn may be leaving as well although I can't confirm that rumour. Big battle for fourth spot this year.

Ibis i would say thats a fair assesment of the season to come. Mildura are definitly the front runners at the moment the only club currenty to get pen to paper with some quality new guys. other than that the sfl has been super quite to date.
Im expecting some big announcments soon. Imps & R/vale havent even appointed coaches yet. something must be brewing.........
Rumor i have is Sth are currenetly in conversations with 2 players from Melb of VCFL standards. Filghts each week. They would have to be guns if that rumor was true. can any 1 from the Kennal confirm.

The much publicised "we will focus on developing our talented juniors for next year" of a couple of clubs lasted all of about 8 weeks. Ego always wins out.

Good to hear from you Yaablett. Can we expect a few more insightful posts this year now you have stepped down? You left a fair void on this site when coaching duties began.

See former Red Cliffs premiership coach Jeff Brennan is the new general manager of the Bendigo Bombers in the VFL.
Must have been a good coach and switched on business wise. Anyone expand?

If this is true it just adds that bit more substance to my reasons for stepping down. They went on and on about developing Juniors and then they go and look to fly people in. Exactly why they ousted the committee in '99'.
As I keep saying, perhaps its the committee that needs to look at itself instead of passing the buck on to the players.

Not a criticism, but a lot of threads in the last week talk about sides pushing for fourth place. I know it takes time to build up a side, buy ins or not, but fourth is not really an aim is it. With eight sides you want better than average if you are going to put the work in.

Heard today that a mildura premiership player was interviewed for the imps job
I've heard that an ex SFL player has not endeared himself to the league and a number of clubs after ringing a number of young sfl players re their intentions for 2008.

Great man but would never be the coach of the green and whites.
Glad Bull decided not to take on the coaching roll, not a leader.
Our 3 great recruits cost us the granny, Andrews should of never played(will miss the 08 season now), Bull cant jump or ruck against quality ruckman and catta should piss off over the fence as he has no heart.
I hear sam morris is heading back to Irymple
I'd love to se Slorach coaching imps especially after the serve he got from that particular group of Imps ladies during the second semi.
It may be Brad Morriss heading back to irymple.

Still a little disharmony over at the Green and Whites???
green and whites just need a priest to look after them. aren't they a good catholic club?

You are a massive tool.
