vinny leave delboy alone numbers are not his strong point!!
Geez Delboy you must be pretty happy no-one has had a crack so far after the weekend.
Was out of town over the weekend, were your blokes no good or did the Bulldogs turn
up ready to play???
The Doggies were OK irymple were very bad. The loss of Price, Romeo added to Crozz, Roberts and ransome certainly did not help our structure. But no excuses Irymple were very cold on sat.
Hopefully can bounce back this week couple of inclusions and a massive 3 weeks ahead for the swallows

Now i know its not massive news but ive heard that red cliffs has sacked there reserves coaches. Rumor i have heard is that ibis is taking over the reins. Please confirm some1 from tiger land or even Ibis himself.
Well done sth. Now fellas how does 7 divide into 4. Its gunna be very tight at the top: Imps, w/worth, R/vale, Mild, R/cliffs, Irymple & Sth. All fighting for only 4 spots.
well as far as i know is that we stil have the same ressies coaches.. but ill confirm that by thursday, after training! i didnt see reardo tonight but i did see robert stephens rock up later. so not sure! (they are the ressies coaches).

Pretty sure the Reddy boys missed the coaches course so are not accredited. Not sacked just cant do it.

Not sure how my name keeps getting thrown up. I don't have the time to coach. I have done the running the last two weeks but away again this weekend. No coaching job for me as I can't commit to the requirements set by Matty for a Ressie Coach. Matty and David Hensch did them on the weekend with some help from Mick Wood.

Merv Neagle to leave Merbein! Riordon to take over!:confused:
If thats true then it looks like Riordo will have to drive to Swan Hill to finish off his coaching course, after a mystery injury forced him to hobble out of last Sundays (all day) coaching course at red cliffs.......
have a nice drive cob
Just a rumor i heard that Merv is gonna leave? what's happening to the pies can anyone explain? or is it going really well out there?:confused:
does anybody know a kid from robinvale by the name of Brodie Rogers? he played alright in a practice match just wondering what kind of a player he is?
he captained the under 18's last year and played a few games of seniors. tall, good hands, light weight but makes up for it with courage. will be a good player with some experience. who is he playing for?
Can anyone tell me how Jade Keam goes? he played for Robinvale last year, they have put big wraps on him. Is joint coach in the lexton plains league this year thanks.
very quick and agile, shits all over his brother. either plays well or goes missing...
Just got the word that Red Cliffs up by 8 goals with just 10 minutes to go. Strange to see last years premiers bumped out of the four after losing badly to Wenty today. Just two wins with probably the best list on paper. I'm sure the coaches must be pulling thier hair out.
Heres hoping Wenty don't get hit with injuries cause their two's are struggling to get a score on the board and they are travelling nicely at the moment.
Imps as per usual are up there and with Irymple slipping down to 6th, the top four is looking very different to what anyone would have imagined this far in to the season.
The next three weeks will be interesting and the ladder will be shaped after each team has played one another. Great season so far.
MULVEY from South Reported apparently.
checked Merbein's scores in all grades, doesn't look promising at this stage, must be creating a few head-aches for Merv! someone mentioned he can't use any of his own players? is that true? if so get they should change their minds and get as many players as Merv wants! Pronto!!!!!:thumbsu:

alls well at merbein apart from the boys not performing. five out of the seniors with no depth in the twos doesnt help. eventually with a full list and no injuries, the boys will still win their 4 or 5 games as expected. Merve will coach this and next year and still has the option of a third,

thanks ! just abit worried, but the fans are happier knowing that Merv is gonna stay around because, all these silly rumours with him going, he always has some sort of influence. gotta keep him! cheers!

Sorry mate, red cliffs wont make the 4. They are only good under lights.
Top 4 all ready finalised, wenty,imps, mildy and robinvale will play off in finals.
Irymple too young, Red Cliffs need key position players, South need gun onballers and a CHF and Merbien are just crap.
Mildura looks like they will loose connick and decket this week. Did anyone see the incidents?

yeah i saw all 3 incidents. connick and bath had a little bit of a blue, a couple of punches each and would hope both get off. the way the league is cracking down on abusing umpires i would say alderton will get at least 1 0r 2 weeks, and deckert cleaned up the smallest bloke on the ground very late and should get 1 or 2.
Magpies wouldn't be crap mate if Imps didn't take their Juniors! Malic etc.Imps pays their players, they wouldn't of won so many flags with out paying the Carr's Hickey's etc , plus grabbing every other junior from every other club! Magpies will be a force sooner than later !:thumbsu:

He was in Deckerts way so he deserves to have been cleaned up as would anyone of any size and it wasn't late the ball was still in the vacinity.

Come to grips with the reality that all clubs pay players.....not all players but those they feel they need. Yes even Imps, but the actual numbers might surprise you when compared to even Merbein's players accounts.
It is also a fact that clubs refuse to offer permanent incentives to juniors reaching senior ranks and fall back on the excuse that the club has done so much for said junior that the player owes the club. Mind you, without the players there would be no club, and therefore no committee members wielding the big stick. Most clubs use this backhanded psychology and refuse to offer money to juniors stepping up. To get any remuneration the player has to have an offer from outside (either monetary or conditions) and the committees, sometimes unwisely, will let them go.
Now if you were half handy as a young footballer and resigned to the fact that you weren't treated as well as out of town talent recruited by the uncaring committee, what are your choices? Stay with a club that has shown inconsistency in results, poor attention to young players concerns, and a willingness to spend thousands of dollars on out of town recruiting....OR....when a club with real credentials shows interest and can offer a shot at finals football almost every year, even without some minor monetary incentive......what would you do?
If thats not a rhetorical question I don't know one when I see one.
Why don't you just say "Fatgutz doesn't like Imperials Football Club's year in and year out success because it finds it easy to recruit young players with offers of good coaching and overall achievement within the sport."

Kidding arent you?
Deckert bumped abloke as he diposed of it...free kick down the ground was all it deserved....and all it should get.

yeah fair point! but i like many other people just want something to go good for a town like Merbein who had a great football past, just wish they could sustain a longer period of success like an Imperials etc! just frustrating when they have good players out there and everyone on the committee is flogging there guts out to get things right, well if a younger players wants to go and play footy with his mates in town what can you do about it? then there is no depth to a club which makes it hard! cheers that's all! just want success for a large supporter group like Merbein for a lot longer than just a couple of years!:thumbsu:

trouble at merbein is too many average players have played senior footy for a few years now and arent up to it, and they and afew of them are sooks but a lack of depth means these blokes have played 40 to 80 games of seniors. The sooner the sfl and the sjfl become one identity, all clubs can look after their juniors and the will remain at their home club. at present a kid playing u/16s for any club can go to any other clubs u18s providing they havent filled in for the u18s. The future is bright for the pies, go and watch their under 12s, some good kids in that side already.:thumbsu:
Thanks all for the clarification ! some shinning lights for struggling teams! my last and final post! well maybe until next year when the pies are in the finals under the one and only MERV NEAGLE! cheers!:thumbsu:

your wrong ! red cliffs are good at home all together not just under lights, they perform at there best when they have all there faithful up on the famous red cliffs hill.. win every home game and at least win a few away then there every chance for the finals. key position players- big jayben mcmanus is back in the side at ff and with mick faulkhead back next week they should have plenty to go to up forward. very very good chance for the finals :thumbsu:

This has been the problem this year fatgutz, with so many injuries its been hard to be competitive. Round 1 we ran over the top of red cliffs and only poor conversion cost us the points. We won half the game against mildura, since then we lost riordo, chooka, hooker and simmo. We should get all these guys back this week so i expect a better performance against wenty. Our lack of depth has really been shown the last couple of weeks, maybe its time we played some of the under 18s in the twos to give them some experience against bigger bodied players.
that's fair enough wellstrain. Riordo used to get injured alot before even though he is a good player, people used to pick on him cos he used to go out with a sore finger didn't they? so he maybe out abit this year, chooka well he must be bloody fit cos he's be getting on a bit probaly a good player still, Hooker- well he will be on and off with work and that, havn't seen him play for awhile is he still really talented like him and his brother used to be? and simmo well he has a red hot go all the time but one person who is going really well is Jason Hunt! be good to get him back hey? how's Luke gane's transfer going?and yes start playing those under 18's!cheers!
He was in Deckerts way so he deserves to have been cleaned up as would anyone of any size and it wasn't late the ball was still in the vacinity.
Mildura videotaped the game, shouldn't be a problem if thats the case.
I believe he was late and high, video should clear it up.

Yeah made a comeback on the weekend.
I don't think people would be writing the boys off just yet cause it would be a silly move. People just seem excited by the improvement in the other teams through the league from last year. The dees have some injuries and once they can get the majority back on the track i'm sure you'll see a vast improvement.

My understanding is there is no interleague whatsoever this year. Neither Interleague or that CM V Sunrayisa thing.
Not sure what that means?more or less, just saying who else is better than Imperials and Wentworth? Imps just keep winning and never had a real down year for about 20 years, and Wentworth are going very well with Bell booting shit loads! but anyway no Interleague as Ibis has said! :thumbsu:

Fatgutz, you are a fool...... as the old saying goes, it is better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and prove it.
To dumb it down for you, shut up, your continued useless dribble is not needed on this thread.
Interesting to see the Mildura bench pick up some coaching moves from Paul Roos on Saturday and throw an extra man on the ground for 4 or 5 minutes.

Dont know when that would've happened, had two to three players sitting on the bench holding on to yellow cards most of the day, but if you are counting players, wenty had twenty one on the ground all day

I think you will find Moncur and Fox would be miles a head of these 2 on current form. Moncur has 3 BOG's and Fox is very damaging when going foward for a rest.
Other automatic selections on form would be-
Curren
O'Bree
A Rigby
Clohesy
Ozzie
Clay
Lets imagine you're an interleague selector for 2008.
Try picking a squad of 25 that would form the final team. Do it on 2008 form though not on past performances.

Mate having played with him many times i can assure you there is no crap there. I was playing and counted 9 in the first quarter, the last quarter he was everywhere. I was playing on catta for a bit in the 2nd quarter and he said after keatchy took a mark, "whats that 20 already". When he is on song nobody in this league will take as many as him. Its a pity about his disposal but at the same time he has taken some great marks.

Yes Hillite I too was hoping for the boys to run over the top of Irymple but like I said to Terry Hall at half time, they needed to extend their 3 goal lead to 6 goals to make sure Irymple went in to the last with thier heads down. Instead Irymple clawed back to be just two down at the break and ran over them in the last.
Only injury they had was Mick Faulkhead who rolled his ankle and only came off toward the end of the game. No excuses, they just need to understand thier roles and understand that when the tide is turning its not the end of the game but time to knuckle down and get the job done.
Little experience in close games but it will come with time and patients. Just another learning curve for the boys.
The dissapointing thing is that had they won they would have been sitting in fourth, clear by two games and only missing out on third by percentage. But, they're not so we look forward to Mildura this week. :thumbsu::thumbsu::thumbsu:

Regardless if this was deliberate or innocent act the media need to be shot over this.
How are we suppost to get our children playing our great game when parents see kids laying on the ground and being carried off on the front page. Parents will think twice when their kids are asked to play senior football from now on.
The Mildura FC is the sunraysia daily and we didn't see any coverage from the incident agianst Wentworth. Shame on the Daily for their story today, thanks for pushing more kids away from footy.

I didn't see either incidents and i'm not questioning them. I'm just worried about the harm the Sunraysia Daily has done to our local football up here.
Every year we struggle with kids not continuing to play football after junior level and the images and story in todays paper wont help us.
Next question- Can Mildura make the finals? If they lose to Red Cliffs this week I think they will be stuffed. I hear O'Bree could be out with a calf?

Mildura videoed both games, shouldn't be a problem if thats the case, should it?

If I hear the young bloke was 14yo one more time, front page news and on the radio news ever 30 minutes this morning.
I wonder if you've seen this one through the same eyes?
I didn't see the second incident therefore can only go on what i have heard which is that Sonny's was a punch vs Deckerts hip and shoulder which in my case differs greatly......would you agree?

I do agree, striking and charging are both reportable, again hopfully the video will tell the real story on both incidents.
How has Mildura become so far off track?

Does the tribunal allow video evidence or just listen to the reports and evidence of the players and umpirers involved?
I think Mildura injuries and reports has cost them all year. They would have at least 6 of their best 12 out of the moment and no team can cover those sort of loses.

A few clubs will be glad that Sonny decided to go elsewhere.Ouyen will be pissed, South will have to do all the work involved in a tribunal hearing for what gain. I think that will be Sonny's final fling.
Will the tribunal view the video of the incident.
Just to add a little spice to the mix, I notice that South have lodged a clearance for Sonny with todays date on it with the SNFL.
Maybe South have already reviewed the video??

i think you'll find that sonny didnt do anything wrong and will play this week against merbein...the youngster wass milking every bump for the whole game if hes not up to the hard bump he shouldnt be there...lindsay has done nothing accept play well...the bulldogs look to be a force if can win a few more games id say

I didnt see the incident so I wont comment but to say that about the kid is absolute rubbish. It was a really good debut and he didnt milk anything. Showed some great signs and is a great kid.

Poor act by the Sunny Daily.No need for a front page like that, we are playing country footy not AFL. I'm not a fan of Sonny but he and local footy itself didn't deserve that. I can't remember any other reports in the SFL being made front page news like that and neither should they be. Must have been a slow news day. If its on video and worthy of suspension then it will all even out and he'll cop whatever he deserves in the end.
All that aside the season is turning out to be pretty exciting with plenty of surprises. Will be interesting to see how the tribunal pans out for Mildura and South tonight.

Yeah your right Chris, if the kid can't take a good thumping he should be on the outer!!
Get real mate. Your living in the past. It was an ordinary, unnecessary and unprovoked attack on the kid. Would not have matter if it happened to him or to any other player, the fact is it shouldn't have happened. The sooner the league take action on these incidents the better....

Sonny cleared to play this week.
The Sunraysia Daily must have egg on their face after this, hope Sonny takes this further as he would have a great defamation case in the courts.
Deckett also got off so maybe it a case of bigger bodies colliding with smaller bodies which makes the impact look worse than it would be with men.

Give the Sunraysia Daily a break. They are there to report the news as they see it. Have a look what the AFL did with the Hall Staker incident. If we saw that incident once we saw it a million times. They didn't say Lindsay hit him illegally, they stated that contact was made and that he was reported. Understand that the kid was 14 playing senior football and was only the second player in 40 years to do so in this league. Colin Sylvia was the last player at that age and look where he is now.
Of course it was going to make front, back and middle page news especially being his first ever senior game.
Papers run stories to make money and I am sure they would have had great sales yesterday. Not much chance of a defamation suit 3inarow, they have to defame him and I don't see anywhere in the article that has happened.
News from Ouyen is, Lindsay apparently owns them a substantial amount of money and seeing south have already spent alot of cash preseason on Lindsay it will be interesting to see if they are prepared to pay Ouyen out. My sources tell me Ouyen will not clear him and that it may be he was going to play 6 games for Ouyen (Equal to the amount he owes them apparently) before they will sign a transfer.
As for milking free kicks from bumps all day............ If you were 14 playing against men, if you got bumped you would probably bounce around a bit too. Give the kid a break, to play seniors at 14 years is an exceptional effort and something that very few people have done. He won the U14 and U16 B&F last year whilst U14's so this kid can play and could be the next best thing out of this town. The biggest credit to him is the fact that he has said he wants to continue to play senior footy even after the big knock he took. If only there were more men out there with a heart as big as his. I have always said that if you are playing senior footy no matter how old you are, you have to expect to get hit hard and this kid has shown he can take the hits and get back up for more. Well done I say.

It will be interesting to see how the transfer goes. On another note Kurt McGlynn was also 14 when he made his debut for Wentworth in 2001 and may have even still been 14 when he played in the senior flag that year. Cousin Ben was just 15 when he played earlier that year as well before injury forced him out for the year. Daniel Elstone was also 15 when he first played so a few have debuted early here.

I am more concerned about the after effects of every parent seeing these images on the front page when if it had of been any other team apart from Mildura there wouldn't of been a story on it.
You watch how many kids under 16 play senior football in the future.
Congo should be pissed as well as the damage it has done to footy up here.

Build a bridge and get over it mate, probably the independent tribunal has done more damage, letting lyndsay get away with it. Parents may see this as kids not getting looked after, 3 weeks with three suspended for abusing an umpire nothing for striking, go figure, regardless of age
Does anyone have a copy of the article that they can paste on? Had a quick look on the Sunraysia Daily web site, only a breif description and a pretty telling photo of the incident. Thanks

Thats a load of crap. If you recall the incident with Alves last year the daily gave that a big run and that was against Mildura. And anyone talking about defamation has no clue whatsoever. In my opinion the league admin is battling at the minute.

As far as saying sunraysia daily must have egg on their face, as far as I am concerned they reported the incident as it was seen, and biigger bodies against smaller bodies, as far as I am concerned as soon as you step over the line you should be treated as a man and not given preferential treatment. But in saying that, you should not get whacked either

Dont you like sonny Spivey, bet you wish you had him at south while you were coaching?
He won us a flag and would be one of the most gifted players I have seen, just a loose cannon off the field.
Next subject, who at this stage is premiership favourites? My tip is wenty with our boys runners up again

Wenty look the goods but depth could be the stumbling block. If they can keep the current side intact they do look a good chance. Belly has to hold together.
Second?? At the moment could be anyone. Each of the contenders at full strength are a chance.

Isn't that a bit like saying you would have won the final without the rest of the side taking the field?
You probably think that in a game where 5 points decide the winner from the loser that the person who kicked the last goal is the match winner....what about the goals kicked by other players? Surely they are just as important.

robinvale are the smokeys with monkey doing a great job so far,demons need no more injuries and they will be a force,wenty and imps are the the teams to beat.how many wins would you need 2 make finals?
