Rumour about that Bode and Hardman from Nulli trained with Deniliquin Rams and look like playing there next year - both impressed with the professionalism at the club and the prospect of playing in a flag next year.

Ah lets not jump 2 anything to rash there Lockett. Havnt thought of the fact that maybe footballers train to keep fit and Bode and Hardman both live in Denni therefore decided maybe to train there instead of venturin to Nully?? Seems pretty simple

From the horses mouth , Hardman will stay if Bode stays. And from all talks around the club Bode will stay for another season. They have been training for another club abviously but we hope they do to keep up their fitness. Not a stupid comment Lockett by all means but i think they it may be squashed a bit.
Benny Parker has had a sore back (had it since being at the crows) but ready to fire up once more!

Big call catter, my mail says external pressures ( work & woman) will guarantee Josh will be a deni boy once again next season, and like you said from the horses mouth hardman will stay if Bode stays.

Is Pickering a chance at Ultima rumors around the sale yards he's good enough
I have seen a couple of Ultima games this season and Jason Pickering has dominated on both occasions. He has been named in the best most weeks and just oozes class. His ball getting ability is second to none. He would have to be one of the favorites for the league medal also, (he told me that himself).

Is there anyone who can shed some light on the reasons why the GRFL play the Grand Final at Kerang and not out at Murrabit. Best GF venue in the district. Kerang has nothing going for it other than a bigger score board. How the league can allow this to happen is a puzzle.

I agree, if they are going to play it outside of the league, they might as well play it at a decent venue. Kerang is always windy, no shelter, not oval, surface has got worse over the years, and there is no atmosphere.

Some shocking conditions over the weekend, with some old fashioned wet weather football coming to the fore. This was reflected in every scoreline except the wakool ultima match. Did the rain hold off over at Wakool?
Wandella move into the box seat for 4th position with Hay going off the boil... and Ultima... not sure what to make of them.

I was at the Wakool Ultima game and the rain did hold of and turned out to be good conditions for footy. Wakool did it with ease but the Ultima boys were not discraced putting in a good effort for three quaters (apparently had a few injuries). The loss makes there task of playing finals very difficult. From a spectators point of view Wakool look good and have some quality players which may take them all the way. Can somebody tell me when Wakool last won a senior flag?

It's an interesting one isn't it. I presume the league has some major sponsors over Kerang way. Mind you, if the league looked at it carefully, in terms of quality Hay has the best facilities in the league by a mile. Would say Murrabit's playing surface would be the best, but getting splinters in your ass isn't the greatest way to prepare for a grand final. Hay's set-up is like a modern Tyntynder ground -- they have even got a gym downstairs now.....government grants...gotta love em.......Just a pitty the place is too far away.
Hay and Murrabit both s h i t on Kerang's venue and would both easily hold as many people.....but I guess the gate takings the league has got over the past few years suggests there is no reason to change....I reckon the league would make more if Swan Hill hosted it. Two consecutive grand finals in two weeks (GRFL then CMFL) would attract plenty of following...

I would suggest the fact that the Blues have played off umpteen dozen times in the past decade or more has something to do with it. They are probably just trying to be fair, for example, if wakool were to have to play murrabit this year.

Silly arguement happydays, every other league in australia at some stage would have a home ground team play of fin a grand final. Its like saying play the AFL Grandfinal in Sydney so Melbourne dont have a home ground advantage over Adelaide (example). Money is the sole reason for the game being played in Kerang. I play for Ultima and agree that our grand final should be played at Murrabit.

He went OK, big form is Brendan McKenzie, would have to be the no. 1 ruckman in the league, l would think several CMFL clubs would be talking to him over the pre-season.

Harvey set the game up, was far too slippery for the several defenders that played on him for the day. Thorpe, was very well held by young Lee Bull until the last qtr when pure supply gave Thorpe easy opportunities and allowed him to kick 5 l reckon.

Fair point Jimbob but we're not talking AFL here simply GR and a matter of Kms. I do remember a GF being taken away from Murrabit in the mid 90's for the sole reason of home ground advantage, and they hadn't even won one for a while in those days, played at Wandella from memory. I'm not saying this time around it's the sole reason but surely it must play a part. I am for a Murrabit G.F, thought the gate was pretty good but maybe the league knows better with the dirt road and all from S.H. Maybe Keith and Co. can put an explanation in the editorial of this weeks footy record, as it appears to be a little short for material over the last week or 2.;)

He was reasonably quiet, not much room in that forward line with Thorpe, Harvey and Smith. Scoullar took a couple of strong marks. Apparently first game for the year so should improve, he'd have to be 6'4" or 6'5".:thumbsu:

Surely there isn't room for Thorpe (6'2), Smith (6'5), Pollock (6'6), and Scoullar in the forward half? Very big, but very slow. Smith and Pollock would be sweating a bit.

Smith still goes ok, Thorpe would be lucky to be pushing 5'10 and pollock doesnt venture into the forward line. Only my personel observations though.

must say have 2 disagree with you on hay's facilities. made the long trip north only 2 b greeted by a cold shower at games end. unders were rushed throught the showers but nothing could stop the hot water from running out. could have used a snorkle on the ground as surface was anything but crash hot (in defence theres been sum good rains). good 2 c u hit the nail on the head bout the distance factor. looks like Kerang will still provide best venue for the flag; central for teams, good surface, no home advantage.

You must be joking, you haven't been to many clubs in GRFL, Facilities at Kerang are not up to standard, No cover for spectators on footy or Netball. No atmosphere, Toilet always overflo, Canteen too small. All the promise of money from Kerang Business Council to play thr Grand Final In Kerang to increase over years, never happened, even decreased one year. And to iamfooty, get on bangwagon to get game away from Kerang, use your influence to get public opinion going on this subject. Wonder if VCFL major sponsor "Worksafe", called into Grand Final to see power cords, gas burners in tents, what would they say.

I agree. Im a not a murrabit supporter and believe it should not be played in Kerang. The GRFL is one od the only leagues i know that plays it's grand final out side the league. Central Murray has no worries playing at the Swan Hill ground. Swan Hill has only won 1 out of it's last 6-7 grand final starts. ( i think it is close to that). So there goes your home crowd advantage. One big negative i believe is that during the year teams never get a chance to play at kerang. I know it is the same for both sides, but it would be a better situation if sides knew the ground they were about to play the most important game of the year on. Ideal world play the grand final at murrabit. If people are worried about a home ground advantage have an alternative ground for when Murrabit plays. If not play it at the Swan Hill or Tyntynder ground.

Yes Quamby's ground is in great nick at present especially after having last weekend off, and there is lots of room for parking, tents and the like, but i imagine the facilities wouldn't be up to standard. But i guess you'll find that out this week Sept when you make the trip. Can you tell me if and when Harvey is due to play VCFL reps? Are you playing or sitting on the sidelines this weekend?

Quambys ground is in great condition. After having a great rainfall over the weekend it has only improved. The facilities are not up to standard by far! Fitting 21 players into the Visitors room is a joke and is really in need of an upgrade. My sources tell me that Harvey infact didnt make it 2 the final 22. Is the man injured or just wasnt dedicated??

you have obviously played finals in the 3rds. It has been a while since the Wakool seniors or reserves played finals. But do ageee Quamby have a good ground for finals. I remember watching Wandella and Nullawil play a 2nd semi there a couple of years ago. Spot on day and i think a gate of around $7000. Fairly central to kerang and Swan Hill. Change rooms are terrible but there is enough space to warm up outside if the weather permits.

He will play this week, but in reply to you earlier post I will be absent for 1-2 weeks. Think a few guys have been a bit harsh on Quambys away rooms, from memory there not too bad, certainly not as bad as Wandella or Murrabit for that matter.

Again i will disagree with such comments 2wards quambys rooms!! Dead set couldnt even fit a team of midgets in those rooms!! MUrrabits may not be state of the art but atleast there is breathing space within!! No such chance of having a warm up in something like that! Wandella would have the worst away teams in the league, but is the only place i no 2 have showers in a tin shed!!!
Again i will disagree with such comments 2wards quambys rooms!! Dead set couldnt even fit a team of midgets in those rooms!!

Wandella would have the worst away teams in the league, but is the only place i no 2 have showers in a tin shed!!!
Tin shed, thats being a bit to nice. It is a disgrace that a visiting side has to change in those sheds. The only good thing about it is that you can run straight out of the rooms and down the hill. I reckon Wandella would be doing themselves out of some bar business having the visitors way over there. The last thing you want to do is treak across the oval to have a couple of beers. Agree with the quamby rooms, not good at all. But as i said before if the weather is fine there is plenty of room to warm up out the back. I would rather warm up out the back and play at Quamby than play at kerang..

Well lil rig then for the wandella rooms, again agree with the remarks on a disgrace and think that Keith and co @ the league should put the foot down coz it shouldnt b aloud. Again, agree with the bar business, having the rooms so far away really does ruin the atmosphere of the footy!! Its ok walkin down hill 2 get a frophy but uve always gotta make it bak up!! Yeah Quamby do need 2 upgrade but i will have 2 disagree with you on the Kerang factor. Kerang has the ground and facilites to cover any grand final in the region. Although you can blame the ground for the atmosphere problem the crowd makes the atmosphere, and if this is a problem then the supporters should be having a long hard look @ themselves!!!
Think a few guys have been a bit harsh on Quambys away rooms, from memory there not too bad, certainly not as bad as Wandella or Murrabit for that matter. Wandella's are an absolute disgrace and take me back to the days of playing out at Appin.
Quambys away rooms would be close to worst in the region. I would much prefer Wandellas away rooms, plenty of room to warm up. Quamby need to do something about there jockey sized rooms.

If I didn't know better I would say that you must play for Wandella and have never set foot in the away rooms. The Big Bad Wolf wouldn't even have to huff and puff and he could knock the bastard over. Murrabit have got a 1920's gym that takes up a significant portion of the away rooms.
Realistically no away rooms in the league allow for a decent warm up.
A bit of a stretch here and there and a 2 metre handball isn't gunna warm anyone up. Hay and Quamby have plenty of room outside to genuinely work a sweat up.

Alright, enough talk about facilities, let get back to the footy.
Average round of matches this week, with comfortable margins expected.
Macorna to record another win against Moula
Wakool to belt Quamby
Nully to do it easy against Wandella
Murrabit to beat Hay.
Hay and Wandella will be keen to pinch a win against a team above them, and if they can do so, they will firm up their finals chances. However i think they will both fall short.

Nullawil and Wandella could be a close one. Wandella have been travelling well of late. Also Hay in an unpet over Murrabit if big Fitzpatrick plays in the ruck all day.

I agree. Wandella aren't without a chance. Hay are terribly out of form at the moment, maybe the long bus ride every second week is finally taking its toll on the motivation levels of a few.

Your on the money there SS,expect bigger things from Hay this week, options slowly drying up and a win against the blues will keep the wolves, sorry Bombers, at bay until the final round when all will be revealed!! Moula's last chance on sat and going back 12 months at the same venue, thay had a win. Unfortunately, Macorna, will be too strong this time round
Good luck to all !!!!

Watched Wakool thump Quamby and they done it easy. Harvey with 11 and all without going out of the 50 line was great to see. Wakool had 4 players out and Doyle on the bench injured in the second half and still kicked 33 goals. Also word has it that another Melbounre star (and x AFL) is set to make an appearance this weekend and if so he will drew big crowds each week.
The Quamby ground was excellent but definitly no room in the changerooms for half a team.

being able to have Harvey in the forward 50 on a full time basis could cause opposition teams a bit of a headache. Where did big leigh schoular play ? did he ruck or did graham and pollock do most of the ruck work. Good to hear there was a good crowd at quamby. With all the negative talk about what wakool is paying out for players the extra gate money that clubs are getting because of these players is good for the clubs and the league, i hope everyone realises that.

Couldn't find the x AFL bloke on Wakools list of players that signed prior to June 30, and it is too late for clearances now, so is this really true Tassie Devil? If it is surely you would drop a name for you fellow Big Footy readers.

well got to be out there for the mighty display by the hawks. Are the best team by far. Harvey is just a freak, gets excited easily though!!! Leigh Schouller played CHF, a big unit, pollock rucked with grahem playing as ruck rover all day and dominating. Quamby outplayed them in the first quarter but kicked 1.8. Cost us big time, after 1/4 time the just ran forward at all costs and killed us on the rebound. Will be interesting to see how they go in a tight match as they wil not be able to puch forward as hard, might be vulnerable there. Good to see Ben Ditta play his first game in seniors, unfortunately the nerves got to him when the big gust of wind pushed his set shot from the goal square wide and through for a point!!! bad luck ditta

very heavy in the middle if pollock is rucking and graham is ruck roving. He is the biggest ruck rover since jonathon brown !!! there may be a bit more pressure on them this weekend from Nullawil. Should be a cracker of a game out at Wakool.

Bit harsh on Ditta, ball appeared to strike a bird in mid flight thus causing the deviation. Think he may have been as confident as Daniel Motlop yesterday.
Full credit to the ground staff (or weather gods) out at Quamby as the ground was in pristine condition. Boys are playing some good footy at the minute, just need to make sure we carry this form into the finals. Wasn't a good sign to see our players arguing amongst themselves quite heatedly when we were 20 goals up, weren't too many reasons to be upset.
Does anyone know what the finals venues are for this season?

Obviously having an erray of Melbourne players was catching up with the folk @ wakool. Maybe due to the lack of team bonding?? I guess it doesnt matta when winning games tho all the same. Finals this year im pretty sure are @ Murrabit, Moulamein and Ultima

FT all he needs is a registration and he can play. Giving out names is not my way of protecting him from being attacked on here and elsewhere.
September didn't see or hear any arguing from the team at Quamby but there is plenty of **** flying around from a few in reguards to when its time to give the game away or stay and think your invincable.

i dont think he would be playing even if he could get a match permit. Wakool would have to be idiots to play someone like when they are having a top of the table clash. Good for the town, club, game and crowd if he is there having a couple of quiet ones though.

Even if someone put him out of the game they still have too many avenues to goal to trouble most sides but may be found out when playing against good opposition who actually know each others names.

I am undre the impression that after june 30 there can be no movement into or out of a club which means no new players, could be wrong though.

But would love 2 c him there on the weekend, the likes of Lahy n co the younga pedigree may get some attention and maybe be targeted by higher grade clubs in the future years

Credit where credit is due. Witnessed first hand on sat at Nully 2 very good umps in action. Let the game flow, had a laugh and always in control and i dont think either side would have any thing to complain about.

Yeah the boys aren't the best of friends, but they can play footy.
Agree that harvey will be a target come finals and we would be brought back to the field quite quickly without his presence. Although we have a plethera of goal kickers, harveys presence alone is a massive motivational factor for the rest of the side, not to mention the fact he generally kicks a bag and sets up his team mates with clean ball handling.

Wilson admits he is scared to dump girls
Luke Wilson has told how he is too scared to dump girls — so he acts up until they leave him, he admits he is gutless but he says it often works out better that way.
He said: "Even if I want out, I don't have the guts to just leave.
"I just start acting really surly and cranky until theyleave me. I don't think anything's over the line when you want out. You see the fence, and you just start running for it."
Asked how long he normally has to wait before the girl runs for it "I'd say you need 90 days. It's almost like double time, though, because three months feels like six months because you're so horrible to be with."
Thats our Lukey sure the boys out at Ultima here about this stuff all the time!

What a load of **** September. You name a local that is unhappy about them playing or is it just the fact that one certain player and his band of merry men and supporters can't come to terms with not playing 1's as he has been past it for a few years and only player shortage has kept him in there. It is all a few of you talk about in the pub when a someone trys to have few quiet one with his mates.
Have got to know the Melbourne crew and they are a great group of players who stir each other up on the feild as if they hate each other to spur themself on.. one group are all school mates not bloody enemies. Some also work together,travel to games together and are very happy with the relaxed way the club runs. Why don't ya get off the grog early and have a talk to them rather than abuse them on here as all your doing is bringing them down for nothing other than crap. Oh how easy it is with a mouth full of grog.
