Is luke wilson staying at ultima, if so who else is staying and is anyone linked to the club.

Would say he is undecided, Walpy in the mix. On Ultima have not heard any recruits and they seem to have lost quite a few.

Are in big trouble next year IMO.

[whatsit2u]

Murrabit are being talked about as being able to back it up again next year, have they recruited anyone else other than the 2 kerang bloke, hae they got anyone lined up to take coulters spot, as he stepped up last year.
Any news on the players that are going to the tigers with metro, did they play firsts in bendigo or are they just coming for the ride.

I think you are getting the 'talked about' thing mixed up with Moulamien. They have recrutied a player for every position! The ones to watch it seems.
But yes Coulter did step up last year for sure hard to replace, although Saunders and Randall did majority of ruck work in GF.

[Bowser]

Ultima, Wakool, and Hay seem to be in a bit of strife. A real concern for the league.


I don't see how Ultima and Wakool are a concern for the league? Their clubs maybe, however I doubt Ultima would be in any worse trouble than a worst case scenario bottom of the ladder finish. :rolleyes:

[Always Broke]

I think murrabit have done the right thing by posting video on the net, it proves that losers can be winners. They may just make a movie about them.

Justwatchin ! As much as I hate it, you can't call them losers. I watched the last two finals and I think they won both of them. As for the video, I spoke to a Murrabit bloke the other day and he seems to think it was put on back in Oct, for family of one players, who lives inter state.
Me thinks u might be fighing some inner demons. What happened ? Did one of the forwards kick a bag on ya. Time to move on.

they are a concern because they could both be uncompetitive, and that is not good for the league.

Have Murrabit picked up Rooters brother Cam from paco vale??

[wizzo]

I have played on him before, i played 2 years of u/17s against him and he was a half rate player in a weak u/17s league....

who did you play for and how long ago was that

[bernard the bipolar bear]

Have Murrabit picked up Rooters brother Cam from paco vale??

I heard they are talking to him. can he play?

[the-rumour-mill]

I heard they are talking to him. can he play?

he is roughly at an estimate 20 x better than his brother

[Big_flipper]

Hey lads after the run down on a bloke that played with Ultima last year. His name is Jordy dont know the last name prettt short lad, blue ute let me know, as a player and a bloke?

[Truck]

Does anyone know if the Geelong blokes are playing at Moulamein in 2008? I've been reading a few of the threads and can't see anyone saying they're not playing but also nothing to say they are. They're mad travelling that far anyway - not sure how Moula convinced them to go.

Heard they weren't coming back.

Interesting to see how the Moula boys go in 2008. Looks like they're just replacing the Geelong boyswith some local lads. Can someone tell me what Josh Logan, Marty Sanders and Mick O'Neill are playing next yr? One of the clubs up that way didn't have a coach (Ultima I think it was) - What's news with them?

Sounds as if Ultima don't really care...it is rare not to have appointed a coach before xmas...lets hope they do soon cos they had a bad year this year

As a new member on this website I would like to ask dartstruth why he thinks that John Dunstone owes Hay anything? He comes from Balranald and is going to Moulamein to support one of his mates in Ando. I say good luck to all the boys at Moulamein. It would be great to see a side like that do well. Go Moula!!!!!

Guys how did Steven " Sam " Randall go for Murrabit this year. What position did he play.

Had a good season, kicking 45 goals as a tall forward.

Righto - Extremely early tip for the way sides will end up at the end of this season.

1 - MURRABIT (should win it again with the players they have)
2 - NULLAWIL (Surprise packet i reckon)
3 - WANDELLA (Should be top 3)
4 - QAMBATOOK (Many will pick them in the bottom 4 - have the players to be a top 4 side if they put their minds to it)
5 - MOULAMEIN (will be there abouts but with a straight swap of locals and Geelong players can't see them getting in the top 4. If they had the Geelong blokes again I would have them on top)
6 - MACORNA (Have put them 6th but am worried about them, could have me looking silly as another team I think can push for finals if they're minds are right every game)
7 - WAKOOL (Bye. bye Wakool, without the Melbourne blokes they don't have enough quality players to push for the finals)
8 - ULTIMA (No coach?? club is in serious trouble of players losing interest)
9 - HAY (In the rebuilding phase and should be competitive in some games but can't see them winning any more than 2)

I can see a lot of Moula people being unhappy about the position I have them finishing but I can't see them making finals when they just replace good players with good players. That's if the Geelong blokes aren't playing. If they are I'll put them top 2. Wakool is in a similar boat. Nulli in the top 2 I can see some flack coming there to. But, it's just me trying to pick the ladder now with who I think is playing and isn't playing.

U cant see them making finals? 5 balranald premiership players! Richards,anderson,campbell,dunstone,bannam and a past premiership player who played good senior footy last yr in kane evans!!!! should see them in top 4 these players will shread the golden rivers league

Good post. I reckon Nully may slip though, apparently losing a few: Korp, Atkin, Maloney, Crabbe, Bradley, R Poyner, also heard whisper Hewitt going also? can anyone confirm?

This is exactly what I'm talking about when i say Moula is just swapping good players with good players. The Geelong players from last yr all played GFL footy which is the best in Victoria (other then VFL & AFL). I'm no local and only hear things through the pipe line I couldn't imagine those 5 players being better then the 5 they've lost from Geelong. I hope Moula have me wrong by yr's end but I can't see it happening.

Werent those players from the GDFL and the Bellarine FL?

[The Messenger]

Good work paulkelly. I see things a little different, this is what I think.

Murrabit (very similar to last year, they need to recruit a ruckman to cover Coulter but I'm sure they will find one, solid all over the ground espeically in the middle were Hein, Morton, Millard and co just keep doing the job)

Macorna (my team so I may be biased but having not lost anyone from last years team and already having 6-7 good players confirmed, including Metro, should have a good year, lots of good talls in Cocks, Walker, Metro, Maso, Roberts but may lack a little leg speed but the recruiters are aware of this and hopefully the problem has been addressed)

Quamby (were very unlucky with injuries last year and I think they will be really solid this year, again they have a lot of good talls with Chopper, Spear, Coote, the Demaria's and Mark Free and Holty back into there midfield should help)

Moulamein (will be better than last year and they weren't far away in 07, picked up some good KPP and will be solid down the spine but there midfield will miss the Geelong guys, Logan and Obrein will be hard to replace)

Nully (with a few losses from last years team they may fall back a little, they will pick up a few solid players like they always do and any team with Smithy will be competitive, need to find some talls and most importantly a ruckman, may see Doran back kicking goals at senior level)

Wandella (my big slider at this stage but this depends on what Mick Bott, Laids, Chubby and Jimmy Pay decide, a few retirements and a few all ready leaving I think the Bombers are only a few injuries from a tough year, will be interesting to see if Wilson brings any players with him)

Ultima (have heard Nooka will do the job again but with a few losses already and talk of more to come they could have some trouble, need to find some talls to replace McKenzie, Wilson, Fingers and Mule, there midfield will still be solid with Lawry, Kelly and co)

Wakool (in a bit of trouble having not appointed a coach and with mass departures they will struggle, they should look to appoint a local coach and try to entice some of the locals to return, time to start the rebuild and that's done by looking after your locals)

Hay (the great unknown, yet to appoint a coach but maybe they have something in mind up north that know body knows about, would still need to recruit at least 10-12 senior players to be competitive so at this stage should be holding up the ladder again)

I think positions from 2 - 6 could go anyway at this stage, I think the only certainties will be that Murrabit will be somewhere near the pointy end and Ultima, Wakool and Hay may have a tough year.

These are all very early predictions and I'm sure many will disagree but know one really knows until round 1 who is playing where. There is a long way until the season starts and in our comp if you can snag 2-3 really good footballers it can move you up 2-3 places on the ladder.

We will just have to wait and see.

Good work messenger. It's what i wanted to see was people picking their early ladder positioning. I do think you're being biased with Macorna but i did say I reckon they're a danger team. Who from Moula is O'brein? I reckon they'll miss Logan and Sanders in the middle badly. From all reports Sanders used to feed the ball out to Logan (Does this mean Logan is a sheep dog?) On talking about the Geelong bokes - heard a whisper today (only a whisper) that Sanders, O'Neill and Jamieson were returning to Moula. Am trying to find out more but has come from a reliable resource. Can any of the moula personell on here comfirm or deny this.

I never realised Nully had lost so many players - should do my homework before putting ladder positions out.

Won't say any names yet because I don't want to jink it, I shouldn't have used the word confirmed because in this game they aren't confirmed until they take the feild. Also that included guys like Mark Carter, Silas Laidlaw and Graham Dunne who are current players who didn't play any footy last year due to injury. That means we only need to add 3-4 to get to the 6-7 I mentioned.

Sorry O'Neill was the guy I meant, thought he was really good for Moula last year. I know I am being biased but that is because I know all the going's on at Tigerland, I'm sure other teams have players they are working on that I don't know about but you can only comment on what you know. Like I said Wandella could shoot right up in the calculations if Ash can bring a few guys with him and a few of those locals decided to stick around another year.

Just thought I would have a crack, it would be good to see a few more have a go with a few predictions for the coming year.

[paulkelly]

Werent those players from the GDFL and the Bellarine FL?

Hmmm..... GDFL and BFL. I just confirmed with Lynchy that yes you're right in regads to them playing BFL. Sanders is the only one that played GFL but Moula got him from the Amateurs footy league. Jamieson played in the interleague team down there and can play. Logan could definitely play GFL but I've been told he's not a rated player down there and was playing reserves in the BFL so that goes to show that the BFL must be good to

I do have a question for all you guys in the know...that is does ne1 realy know about the reserves competition this year.. I've heard that Hay definitely wont have a 2nds team...also Ultima and Wakool are looking doubtful on having sides either...if these 3 sides don't have the numbers to supply a 2nds team it realy doesnt look good for the league as a whole...
I'm just worried if this happens revenue to each club will drop dramatically and the loss of players that wouldnt be interested in playing 10 games a year or less would leave..which would only hurt the clubs that do have the numbers for both teams....
Interested in your thoughts?

Do not know about that mate. So what will happen 'if' the Grand Final Heaven Forbid is on a rotational basis?

[The Messenger]

Do not know about that mate. So what will happen 'if' the Grand Final Heaven Forbid is on a rotational basis?

Of course not having a ressies game will effect club revenue, if you don't have ressies at the game it's less gate taking, less food being sold and most importantly less beer being sold. The 2's boys spend quite a bit over the bar while they watch the 1's as well as that night at any functions. I think it is a real concern.

China is also right about lossing players and effecting the depth in your club, why play for a league where you only get 12 games a year when you could go to CM and play 18. Also makes it hard to drop a player for form but then have 2 weeks of no footy, makes it hard to force your way back into the senior team.

I would hope that both Ultima and Wakool put 2 senior teams on the park and Hay should also look at getting more players. I think teams should be required to feild 2 teams at senior level or forfiet the season in all grades. I know things are tough but the league has to maintain it's integrity.

That's good news Champ, but in China's defence I had also heard that whisper so it sounds like someone has been starting some nasty rumors. If somone from Wakool can confirm they will have a 2's team that would be great.

That would mean only Hay need to get there act together.

[dartstruth]

Yeah sorry I meant 2008. Seem like Hay have had some good juniors coming through in the last few years but cant get them to stick around and play seniors, does anyone know what is going on there? Is the town really as bad as it seems or is there just no interest in football there?

Is there any other towns around Hay that play Aussie Rules and has less travelling? You have to remember that Hay has many sports such as the two Rugby codes and soccer!

Is there any other towns around Hay that play Aussie Rules and has less travelling? You have to remember that Hay has many sports such as the two Rugby codes and soccer! Parents aren't prepared to do so much travelling therefore lure their children into playing these sports? Dunno is just a thort???

would they lose many players to deniliquin area for footy if they are going to be good players. seems everyone from hay moves to wagga, deni or griffith once they have had enough for hay.

Yeah it seems their juniors do dissappear but I'm not sure where to, guess having bigger regional centres around there like Wagga and Griffith and the money their footy clubs through around would be a good incentive for the young blokes who can get a kick to go out and have a look. Puts Hay in between a rock and a hard place though. Do they tend to by many players in or rely on local stocks? Who are some of the guns they have or had up there?

moula are kiddy themselves in regrades 2 john dunnstone, he promises the world but never comes through with the goods.. done the dirty on hay n best mate livin with, money talks louder then mateship n your word..all the best moula, hope u no what your gettin in in2..

owes Hays casuse every year tells them his comin, calls his so called mates organising Hays next flag winner side, but all this is just to flatter his ego..

24/188cm ish/89kg ish/ We all know wakool was about attack but he was down back a bit an did a pretty good job in a poor backline. Also played on ball and on the wing

Thought that we had a chance of recruiting David to the Avoca Football club last season. Trained with us and looked a very classy footballer. The Wakool club made an offer to David to stay which blew Avoca's offer out of the water. End of story.

how many games is young fish going to play before he breaks down, and is his old man going to follow?. Good to mick and trav having a crack, would be good to see them both do well in the big league.

Young Fish will need a big pre season to be fit to go come round 1, saw him the other day and it looked like he had eaten Gary Rose. :D He's carrying a little bit. It sounds like Thommo could be headed for Heathcote, does anyone know if Jason Carroll is playing for Wakool again.

Perfect replacement for a couple of imminent departures Im hearing about old mate :D

[paulkelly]

Righto - Extremely early tip for the way sides will end up at the end of this season.

1 - MURRABIT (should win it again with the players they have)
2 - NULLAWIL (Surprise packet i reckon)
3 - WANDELLA (Should be top 3)
4 - QAMBATOOK (Many will pick them in the bottom 4 - have the players to be a top 4 side if they put their minds to it)
5 - MOULAMEIN (will be there abouts but with a straight swap of locals and Geelong players can't see them getting in the top 4. If they had the Geelong blokes again I would have them on top)
6 - MACORNA (Have put them 6th but am worried about them, could have me looking silly as another team I think can push for finals if they're minds are right every game)
7 - WAKOOL (Bye. bye Wakool, without the Melbourne blokes they don't have enough quality players to push for the finals)
8 - ULTIMA (No coach?? club is in serious trouble of players losing interest)
9 - HAY (In the rebuilding phase and should be competitive in some games but can't see them winning any more than 2)

I can see a lot of Moula people being unhappy about the position I have them finishing but I can't see them making finals when they just replace good players with good players. That's if the Geelong blokes aren't playing. If they are I'll put them top 2. Wakool is in a similar boat. Nulli in the top 2 I can see some flack coming there to. But, it's just me trying to pick the ladder now with who I think is playing and isn't playing.

Righto. Swap Moula and Nuli around. I've heard a few of the boys from Geelong are back playing and are signing papers within the week. Could even have them top after reading about the signings they have for this yr. Where do they get their moula ($$$) from. Couldn't say the boys from Geelong would come all that way for nothing & a player coach wouldn't be playing for nothing.

lets just hope they don't go down the same path as two other clubs in the region that spent too much.

I'd say we will have to wait and see if any of Moula's recruits from Balranald get cleared. Apparently due to Balranalds situation it is going to be extremely hard to get any clearances out of there

That is a good point, but Lalbert was a slightly different situation. Lalbert didn't really try to hold any of us back. I am sure if they wanted to they could have made it very tough for a few of us, especially those going to clubs in the CMFL or leagues in the area.

If Balranald match Moula's $$$ then it could be hard getting clearances approved, but it Moula offer these guys more than they get offered at the Roos they can't be refused. It would be a restriction of trade to with hold there clearance.

What I can see it doing is pushing the prices of these guys up which could put a bigger than expected strain on Moula's finances. Would be good to see Moula up near the pointy end this year.

I don't think this will apply. I have heard that the VCFL may be getting involved which will mean that special conditions may apply so that Balranald can hang on to players so that they do not have to go into recess for the season

Going into recess, it is getting serious up there. That must be the worst run footy club in the country, to go from grand finalists to the brink of going under in less than 6 months is just appauling. I guess they didn't put anything away for a rainy day.

hahaha, what a classic Messenger! Absolute gold! What is Garry Rose doing these days! Still spewing on pubs floors and talking absolute rubbish! He should have a crack at a pre-season, although i don't know whether many clubs have a life insurance policy to cover what would likely to be his demise. Wasted talent that boy!

Don't worry about the Balranald crew. They have more money than you think and are just trying to make the local boys feel bad about leaving. They should have looked after them in the first place!

Shit form by Balranald if this is true, but i doubt it. I cannot blame the local boys going elsewhere after what has happened and the way the have been treated and i hope for Moula's sake they get them cleared because it is great the they have got them to the club

[whatsit2u]

there is not much talk about the tigers at the monent, are picking up spaulding from cohuna, metro and a couple others along the way, also have got some classy youngster in the mix, have always been light on for hight and seem to have picked up some this year. maybe they could sneek under the radar of some clubs.
Not much talk on pick ups for murrabit, all other sides seem to be gaining players and there are not many names for the blues at the moment. some info would be good.

Messenger, I support the observation in regards to Balranald being the worst run club in lets says Australia. Also having read what people are saying about Moula maybe not having these players this yr. Lets just say if players want to leave clubs for whatever reason it is I can't imagine a league trying to stop them.

Imagine the player taking the club or league to court! Hmmm..... which side would win. The player would win every time without fail so Balranald will need to start finding players elsewhere to fill the teams and hopefully in the future treat players a little different.

Turn to page 308. 5th one down and this will have the players that Moula have recruited. Not sure it will be that close this yr. With a couple of the Geelong boys venturing back and the locals Moula have picked up it will be a Murrabit V Moula grand final.

[tigers4spoon08]

what positions do these new moulanese recruits play? they handy or what?
few geelong boys heading back too, things are looking good for moula, did they also get a new coach?
any other teams on the recruit as heavily as moula?

[foxdoog50]

I hope Moula go good, but there lot Moulanes people talking them up BIG time here, why dont we just see how they go the first few rounds than see if the a Finals team. I do hope they go allright but lets just wait and see.

Good post. I reckon Nully may slip though, apparently losing a few: Korp, Atkin, Maloney, Crabbe, Bradley, R Poyner, also heard whisper Hewitt going also? can anyone confirm?

If this is true, forget top 2 a premiership is awaiting. Add these arrivals to Brian Burke, Sean Bedggood and others and Nully will be very hard to beat. Sonny Lindsay, surely not?

God there is so much talk about recruits and how good moulamein is going to be!! Bad move in my book buying all these players. Give it 2-3 years, they will be bank rupt, have no numbers due to all the locals leaving and all they 'may' have is a flag on the wall. Just take a drive 30 mins down the road to wakool and they can tell u all about that! They only +ve i can say is that they have looked local for the recruits (meaning CMFL) rather than unknown melbourne comodities.

Any clubs booked in for practice matches??
