Apin Vet can you please pass onto Chum not to play injured players on the home ground of the Crappers as you can't afford it!
At least the weather won't be as hot at the GF this weekend as it was last year and this will make for a better contest!
Given that I am not a fan of either side but unfortunately one of these two sides has to win!
What I want out of the game is BIFF! Bring back the BIFF! I hope the Blues and Bombers smash each other! Do any of these sides have any hard men? Who enjoys the BIFF?

Yeah well lets hope there is a few dust ups, plenty of blokes belting the living suitcases out of each other, the spectators enjoy with a nice cold frophy.
End Result, lets hope its a draw so we can come back and do it all again next week!!!!!

Hahahaha nah well that maybe pushing it mate, will be able to tell ya by 5.30 Satdy! Got a bit of faith in the Nully boys will be rite behind them this weekend!!!! Seniors should be a belta, I honestly am going to struggle to pick between the both! Murrabit can't let Wandella get the start they did in the 2nd Semi, certainly cost the blues the game!
Tips
u/17 Wandella: Been the class side all year can go past them.
Reserves: Nully to make it 2 in a row beating wandella
Seniors: Murrabit to cause wandella more grand final pain getting over the line by lets say...29points
Good Luck to everyone involved

It isn't the amount of teams that make it to the GF...it is about how many medals are won. But having four in the GF's is one hell off an effort. The 2 under age games are monty's but the Seconds and Seniors will be hard fought slog fests.
The Bombers will end years of pain and bring the Cup back to Windy Hill by 13 points. Go Bombers!!

Nick Hein won the VCFL medal and Nats Henery won the Umpires Medal. I thought Jon Hirst was probably the best player on the ground though, I've never been a huge fan of his footy but he was great on Saturday, very creative in the forward line. Nick Hein stood out because he had a big last quarter. Laidlaw was Wandella's best by a long way, his hard work in the middle kept them in the contest.
Saturday just shows that you should never take injured players into a GF, Wandella made the wrong call on a couple of guys and I think it cost them dearly, espeically in the ruck.

For anyone who knows Tony Bellenger from his coaching days at Wandella, you may be interested to know that he was a run away winner in the M'borough Castlemaine District's league best & fairest award.
He has also managed, in his coaching role, to take the Avoca club from seventh last season into a grand final against Harcourt next Saturday.

Good to be back boys! A lot has been happening since I have been away.
Good win to Wandella, give the cup to them now! They will excel on the big ground of Kerang. To win the Grand Final in the Golden Rivers you need to have leg speed and the Bombers have this. The Murrabit boys will be tested by the Maroons this weekend as the Maroons have good leg speed too but not enough depth as the Murrabit boys. The big ground at Quamby will help the Mallee boys as the blue boys do not have a lot of pace. What they do have is a couple of big targets and the Maroons will not be able keep all of these quiet enough on the day.
Blue boys this weekend by 5 goals.
Bombers the week after!
Piggy, time to hand in your big footy membership, you have lost all creditability. to win a premiership you need more than leg speed.

Exactly what happened on the weekend Vet. Wandella’s run was just too much for the Murrabit team! Wandella exploded out of the blocks but to Murrabit’s credit they fought back and inaccurate kicking decimated them! Paul Meehan did a great job on Henry, although didn’t realise he still banged home 5! Dave Millard did a hell of a job on Mick Bott. Travy Smith was electric with pace and skill but left the game in the last quarter with a shoulder?? Murrabit seemed to come out of the game injury free but its just hard to believe that Wandella somehow will still have to slot Ice Kennedy and Poodle back into that line up! Judging by Poodle’s celebrations at the end of the game, injury clearly wasn’t that big of an issue! Wandella was the better team on the day and clearly deserved to win, Murrabit I think it maybe time to start pooing a little!!!!
Footy pie, anyone who watched that game carefully and knows anything about football, would know that Murrabit was desperately unlucky to lose that game. In hindsight, perhaps Nully should of been pooing, coz they were about to get smashed by 115 points.

I feel wandella's selection panel should start to pick their best side next year, rather than selecting on sentiment. Not a great move to go into a grand final with 2 full backs on the bench, one of which is 39 years old and clearly past his use by date.
And how many times does fish mcgowan have to let wandella down before they realise he is not the answer?

Att: Bear
As an avid reader and contributor to the GR page you would noted that I said that you need to enter the game with leg speed on the Krappers home ground, but I also said to the selection comitee out at Bomber land not to play any injured players as you cannot afford to lose anyone! Also you would not have wanted to enter the game looking after people as you do not get an opportunity at a Flag every Year! You need to play your best/fit side, you need to take the emotion out at the selection table.

Experience is a great thing, you cannot put an old head on young shoulders. A few more his age, and the league will not have to resort to club umpy's doing senoirs, which as we all agree, is not good for the league.

Not a bad effort, I would make a few changes. Hirst out and Khane Mason onto a flank, didn't think Hirst's year was great (except the GF) and Mason was probably Macorna's best over the entire year. Duggan out, he's a goer but not in the class of others in this team, Maher to a HBF and Jay Laursen to 1st rover. Caldwell and Pay lucky to be on the pine, I think Leigh Whelan, Brendan Murchie, Simon Morton and Billy Hewitt all had better years than these 2 guys.

Mitrovic is returning to the Tigers, he anounced it to his team mates after the Hurst lost last Sunday. Ice, Liegh and Jay have announced there return to the raiders and the Wizz is also moving on and the Melb group look like they won't return, where does that leave Wakool. Any news from Moula, Wandella, Quamby or Ultima.

Little bit of both I would say Vet. A few from Echuca, few from Cohuna and a few from Bendigo is usually how it goes. We let Wandella pick over the carcass of Kerang for players and Quamby, Ultima and Murrabit usually don't leave much meat on the bones of the Swan Hill area.
I would imagine a few retirements might stick out at Wandella this year after GF day. I wouldn't think we will see the same assistant coach out there this coming season or will they give him another crack.

Putting three O'Tooles into any side would make for a formidible opponent, usually if they can get those guys back then a few others may come out with them from in town, eg like a Clint Kelly or Marcus Nalder or the like... Nothing actually happening there as far as I'm aware merely just my opinion... Would also keep the younger guys coming back for a bit of a taste of success that they havent felt yet.

I personally would like to see Luke stay in the Central Murray. Heading back to Ultima at this stage of his career will not do his footy any good (though he would still dominate for many years to come). Getting top three in the leauge b&f should inspire him to stay. I would like to see how far he can go. Just feel he'd be going backwards to go out there again even though i'm ex Ultima and a good mate.

What do you mean 'how far he can go'. You couldnt posibly be thinking he can get drafted. In my opinion if you dont play AFL you play state footy (VFL SANFL WAFL etc). After that, it really doesnt matter where you play. Send him back to Ultima so we dont have to play him anymore.:D

I believe Hay have prepared well for next season. Only rumours but Balranald may lose a few to the Lions.

I have herd that Balranald will lose up to 17 players out of their Grand Final side! Balranald may fall on hard times next year?
If the Lions could pick up anyone out of this side it would be a great help for the Lions in 08!

I don't think wakool can fill two sides if they don't pay players.
Mr Bear: I heard from a source that the Hawks may also fall on hard times next year?
Very hard to recruit players to any club! Hard for the Hawks due to their location, hard to get players out of Barham/Koondrook or Swan Hill.
They did well to get some out of Melbourne but most clubs know that recruits only last a year or two!
Got the flag they wanted last year and made the finals this year!
What's in store for the Hawks in 08? Not sure!

They're gone mate!! Their locals are not as strong as the likesof nullawil,murrabit and wandella and i know a few left due to putting the recruits before the locals, even when the locals were probably better! Anyhow, any footy trip stories??

No, if he ever played CM it would be at Nyah, but it won't be next year.

He will be living in Swan Hill and won't set foot near Kerang. Senior captain at Quamby.

Yeah certainly be very hard to repleace! I heard along the grape vine that he would be heading out to Nyah due to having family that way or something? Could be wrong, but haven't heard it from the man himself, and obviously Quamby have offered him the captaincy, hence more $$$ so he would be mad to leave! Quamby will be looking at heavily recruiting, were there abouts last season but could be rite up there next year!

You would think that with the drought the way it is, that most clubs will need to pay players less money next year. Players can't expect to keep putting their hand out if there is no money coming in! Many locals have played for nothing for years, so recruits should start helping out their clubs a bit.
The amount that players get paid now has reached ridiculous levels, what does a club really get in return for the amount they pay someone. Lets be honest, it's not the AFL, so it doesn't bring in extra sponsorship or huge prizemoney, what's the big incentive?

Luke was captain for the latter games of 07. What makes you think Quamby let alone anyone else will be in a position to recruit heavily? It hasn't rained for 10 years. Recruiting will be minimal for most clubs one would think. Clubs whom invest wisely will come out on top. Agree with Marvel,don't think recruits will be offered the same as in the past, clubs just can't afford it anymore.

Recruiting really comes down to doing the best with what you have... If you have a successful side that has good facilities and a good club atmosphere then if you pick the right recruits then there shouldnt be the need for the big dollars as the other things will help get them over the line. Ultima this year may lose a couple as talks of a few of them going travelling, Nathen Boyd and Jarrod Rodgers i think, maybe Fingers Condely. Cant see big Stewie Broussard travelling for another year. Also, heard talks of the Mahons boys going back into town and the Ayars boys going further out of town to Woomelang? Will Zac Boxall hit it out again this year at Ultima?

Can anyone tell me who is chasing who or of any rumours on what players are going where? What types of players clubs need? What type of players would clubs need to pick up to?

Any progress on coaching appointments? Ultima?, Wandella?, Moulamein?, Hay? Wakool?. I understand Macorna, Murrabit, Nullawil and quambatook are as per 07.

No, will be at the club simply in a playing compacity, may do some junior development work. Khane Mason is still coach and Arron Cocks is still a/c.
The rumour about Garth Russell taking the head job at Hay is starting to grow legs. Would be a good get for Hay and you would think he may take some guys up there with him.

Is that metro from the slag heads in bendigo

Considering where Quamby finished on the ladder last year September, a couple of key recruits (ie heavy) may just see them slip into the top 4

Yes similar to a couple of other clubs, just a couple of key players short of being a contender. Beat both Murrabit and Nully in home and away but lacked consistency to challenge for a top 4 finish.

no offence intend towards quamby but they also ways seem to be "looking like having a big year". for the past couple of years they always pick up a few players who are ment to be guns but they still seem to be a bit off the mark.

Yep, Captain Slag Head:D
He is orginially from Macorna

Agree there floody, but in their defence the hype that you speak of is generated from outside the club not internally

Yeah top bloke, pretty handy with the stubbies too. Wyche have tried to get him there for years i believe. Hopefully his body holds up for you boys can win games off his own boot when his at his best.
Congrats too the Murrabit boys...too good. But can any of the Murrabit boys fill us in on why Kingers came to the Kerang Hotel where the Nully ressies boys were after handing his jumper and premiership medal back to the Murrabit boys at the Royal?? Wally Grout or tee-r-otter??
i hear nully r chasing birchip player, facts. blokes like cliff ryan and shan coffey. Must have a fair bit of room in the salary cap. Can you verify these rumours?

Just wondering if anybody can tell me how Ben Taylor, from Macorna goes. Apparently played there a couple of years ago, but I can't seem to remember him. Think he might have played at Echuca last year.

Messenger: I heard from a source at the Tigers, that the Whelan brothers may be interested in playing with fromer Koondrook team mate, Khane Mason. Would be a very good recruiting coup for the Yellow and Black. Could they also lure Laursen?? Couple this with the players who have committed to the Tigers for '08. It is looking bright for Macorna.

I heard this rumour myself but I don't know much not as heavily involved with the recruiting as I have been in the past. Would be a massive get if the 2 Whelan's did come out, they are exactly what is needed out at tigerland some midfielders with a bit of polish. Ice is good mates with Metro and both Whelan boys respect Mason very highly. Pretty sure Laursen has said he is returning to the Raiders. I think it all sounds a long way off at this stage though so I won't be holding my breath.
I also heard that Lee Pollock could be on his way to Wakool as coach, and the Wiz and his other brother will also be out there. Having said that I also heard that the Pollocks were heading to Miti in the LVFL. I guess we will see who the highest bidder is in a few weeks. You would think clubs would want there coaches stitched up very soon so they can attack the recruiting pretty strong.

So what club in the GRFL will Cousins be lining up for next year??? Wakool should have a bit of room now that the melbourne blokes are pulling the pin... he'd fit in well with the crew up there no doubt...

the rumour going around is that Cousins will line up for the new franchise in the grfl, the western ice. Apparently they have had a real crack at some players especially gardiners who can pull chicks but dont act like wankerrs. The new club are convincd that these players are available and will be in a position to smack other teams on the scoreboard if thy can keep there heads!:thumbsu:
