Heard Merbein had Simon Minton-Connell and another Ex AFL player coming. Not sure of the truth to this or where I even heard it but I heard it on the Merbein Grapevine somewhere.
Can anyone shed some light?

Pretty sure Richie is not playing, but my train in part of pre season. Alvey still coaching WDFC this year. Chapple was last seen playing in the Millewa, Aldy playing Ressies at WDFC, not sure what Ben is up to.

Yaaaablett, being an ex cmfl coach, do u know much about Trevor Ryan, coaching style and what he'll bring to South?
Decks older than Walder, too? Could go on for every!!
Always a pleasure to answer your questions Rabbito. Trevor has coached something like 8 premierships which probably speaks for itself. All of those he was a playing coach though. Interesting to see how he goes as a non playing coach. I would put my money on him being an very good non playing coach. You have rate a coach by where they finish compared to their list and I think he would improve a side 1-3 places. What I mean is that if he had say the 7th best list they'd finish 4-6. Some coaches can have the 4th best list and finish 5-8!
I would imagine that 2008 will be Decks' last year. Although you never know. He was B.O.G in the grand final by a mile. O'Bree was outstanding as well but Deckert's game was massive. Walder will be just as good as ever I imagine. Didn't Craig Bradley play in the AFL at 39?

Last I heard Ben "Tojo" Daymond was in Perth still playing good footy. An absolute gun at wenty. I reckon when Wenty won the flag in 01 he was in the top 10 players in the league.

Post 2001 he was definitely in the top 3 of 'fried' players in the comp

jeez ibis100 how much money does merbein have shit where do we all sign up? Minton-Conell i have heard of how damaging would that be to all oppostion teams since he is still bagging goals! and another ex- afl player, well i hope it be a james hird or mark johnson but that would be unfair for the rest of the SFL. ! Looks like Merbein are gonna be back big time!!:thumbsu:

Have to agree with you there Yab's, Tojo was one of the most naturally talented players I have come across, even when his mind wasn't fully on the job! Was very important to that wenty side. That wenty side the best side you've been a part of?

The boys in the robinvale pub arent a happy lot tonight .Donnys told prez Bluey that he is heading of to Irymple to play footy.Long time supporters thes blokes and they are pissed of with Donnys antics.They reckon he has pulled big $$$$ ot of the club since he was sixteen.They have had to sit down with him every year because he was talking to another club.They recon he whiteanted their best ever footballer in Evans when he was coach and also last years coach. The boys are going to get to clearances signed for him and get them delivered with armour gaurd just incase he loses one.When I left they were passing the hat around for petrol money just to make sure he gets there,one bar wag said we are usually doing this to keep the little p?###.
Good luck Eagle boys Iam sure you will still enjoy you footy in front of the bar still even without little Donny.

Walder has been to two clubs in SFL and 2 Outside SFL. Was coach at three clubs and took two clubs to Premierships with very young sides. Not a money chaser.

Well knife i hope ur information is correct. Don would be a tremendous inclusion for the Irymple F.C. our young list would benifit greatly from his experiance.
Im just sick of people saying the player has drained the club that is total crap. The player only takes what the club offers. If the club is not happy or cant afford it then dont offer it its as simple as that.
Its not the Players fault if the club doesnt have the balls to say NO!!! and i dont think r/vale has struggled to much with the 15/16 years of service Don has provided them.

I see your point, I agree without supporters we'd have no footy clubs, I guess the questions are, why is he leaving? do they believe thet have paid him enough in the past that they own him? Has he really got that must money out of them over the years? I'd image he would have knocked back some hugh offers over the last 10 years.
You mentioned earlier about whiteanting this years coach and Evans when he was there, whats up with that?
Love to be there the first time he lines up against R'vale down at Riverside Park.

Sorry wayne, missed it before. Wenty 2001? Probably. Won 21 of 22 including the night series and the game we lost was by 3 points with a late goal kicked by Irymple with about 1 second left. The side had no real gaps. Mildura 07 may have obtained a similar record with a mid season run of luck with injury. On consistency and record it would be 01. Playing personnel pretty close.
I spoke to Jacko about a fortnight ago. Is he heading to Rumbalara? Big loss to Wenty.

i am currious on people thoughts on the pros and cons of buying a premiership.
And im asking this on the assumption on merbein doing just that.
If a bus load of players do turn up in round one. Then what happens to the players that were trying their guts out while we were shit. The senior players of last season become seconds players and the seconds players become supporters. I spose that yes you get a premiership out of it. But at what costs. If everyone knows that its a bought flag, then i cant see to much respect being won over it. I feel for the guys in the twos who are going to miss out when they kept the team on the field

I think you will find the son of the butcher left for work reasons.I guarentee Robinvale Quality meats T Bones are better than anything you can buy In Mildura .Maybe the Butcher was not coocking them to Donnys liking.The latest news is that Woorineen is still in the running with the Woorineen Godfathers making a late$$$$ charge.
PS Some of the Eagle boys reckon the Quality of the BBQ cooking went down hill when Big Strawb left .:):)

Interesting to read Godsofrichmond asking about clubs buying premierships. People who are part of footy clubs, including players, supporters and sponsors all want what is best for the footy club. It happens in every league, but the one thing people at footy clubs want is success!
If you are talking directly about Merbein there is still a long time before Round 1. Clearances haven't even opened yet and there is heaps of crap talked about this time of year. Merbein obviously weren't up to scratch last year. The players that are good enough to play senior football, will still play senior football. Unfortunately they didn't have enough of these "senior" players last year, which is why they finished down the bottom. I have the utmost respect for those players that stick around in tough and unsuccessful times, but I still believe if the incoming players mix with the locals and do their part to help the club, those players from last year will still enjoy the successes that may come too!
I agree that buying a flag comes with it's problems, especially if they spend beyond there means, but my guess is, they probably have a bit of cash saved up. I think it's better for the league as a whole if all the clubs are at least competitive.
At the minute, the Millewa is the most boring footy to watch as the gap between top and bottom is too great, would be worse if the SFL was like that. Then there would be less supporters, sponsors or incoming money to "buy" quality players.

Aussie, for the sake of the Merbein FC would you stop with the consistant dribble and personal slander. There are a lot of people working hard to bring success back to the club on the field and build respect back in the footy community. The crap that you say on the site does nothing to supprot these people. when you can base your comments on fact then speak up, otherwise tone it down a bit.

Rumbalara? is that in Shepparton? thats where he's off to. big loss for the roo's but some of the younger players should step up and become consistent senior players. eg Zac McGlynn, Matt Cameron, James Watt. Tom Lipetri has the ability to become one of the elite onballers in the comp.

There are a lot of people working hard to bring success back to the club on the field and build respect back in the footy community. The crap that you say on the site does nothing to supprot these people. when you can base your comments on fact then speak up, otherwise tone it down a bit.
For the sake of the MERVein F.C, my son has yet to be spoken to, along with a number of others who played senior footy last year. They are by no means superstars of the competition, but they do warrant respect. So i pose the question, is Mervein ( the community club ) more concerned about Mervs army, or their local stock?

This sounds familiar.
Are Merbein on the way to a brief glimmer of success (and I don't mean a flag) and then another few years in the wilderness. While the locals look elsewhere in the SFL or Millewa.

I have heard on the Grapevine that SFL is going to drop the Reserves for the year and just run U/18's & seniors. In an attempt to reduce the pressure on the grounds (and not just because reserves players are generally heavier). Has anyone else heard of this or similar?

Well i hope that doesnt happen that would be alot worse for the league then people may think. I reckon the SFL Reserves hasnt been of to bad a standard and alot of kids have had and extra season or two to develop.
Well that would ruin my weekend anyway the SFL agm is tonight so i suppose a little more will be known then.

It would not be a good thing, but if the water situation stays as bad as it is then this is some thing they may have to look at.
Would do wonders for numbers in the MFL.

sounds very like the Balranald footy club also. they are still losing local players after the way Merve convinced the committee buying his troop of players would benefit the club. and how did he do this convinced the man with the $$$ mr.campbell who is now the major funds supplier to the Merbein FC

Does anyone know some of the outcomes from the AGM last night? I heard that clubs have been told by council, they won't be able to train on the ovals during the year. Is there any truth to this:confused:

I can help out a little hear Chalk,
yep the agm went fairly well last night but there are still plenty of unknowns.
Pre season comp - no rain no comp. But no decision has been made yet.
At this stage council beleive they can get either 4 or 5 ovals right for training and football. providing we share. ie no club will have exclusive rights to any ground and training maybe limited to an hour so that more then 1 club can train on any night.
They are hopping that the season will start on time but more will be known in a fortnight when the council get back to the league with what ovals have been given the go ahead.
June 30 2008 will be a massive day as new restrictions could be enforced if so then the season will have to shortend and massive changes will have to be made.
whatever happens the 2008 season will be hard for every1 to manage unless it pisses rain for a couple of weeks. And there is no easy solution so we will just have to wait and see how it all pans out.
There will be football in 2007 just how many games no 1 is exactly sure as yet.

Training will be very restricted, but training on ovals will be allowed for a certain period of time and probably once a week. The biggest headache will be where games will be played, as not all grounds will be available. A shortened season is definately on the way!

Just remember, two years ago Sonny signed with three different clubs including one as coach before settling at Ouyen. He could sign with all eight clubs and you wouldn't know until he ran on the ground, and even then he could move before the close of registration in June.

I am sure he would make a great coach, but I know that he is pretty busy with work. Not sure that he would be able to give the amount of time required to be a senior coach.

Your posts are crap, u have no clue!!
Your on here talking up Merbein, then asking who their signed!!
Clearances can't be lodged until the new year, it would be dumb for clubs to play their hands so early, wouldn't you think Aussie??
If Merbein go on to recruit 10-12 blokes more fool them.
Some advice, read Well's posts and take note, he is all things Merbein and is usually about the mark.

i follow merbein and i am a member, so i hope they go well this year under merve! i reckon young matt walder would've been a great man for the job as he like tony hickey fit, fast and never gives up type of player! and all his achievements should of got him automatic selection at merbein. any way just own thoughts! what does everyone else think?
