Scotty can play the game certainly. Have had him all season but only started playing about 6-8 weeks ago. Never stops battlin his arse off all day, and wins a lot of the footy. Has been a valuable inclusion to the team both on and off the field!

although scotty is a dwarf he has always been a good footballer right through juniors...gave it away for a couple of years, came back and did his knee but looks as though he has recovered form that very well...

[The Messenger]

Went to Wandella to watch the young boys go around in the interleague. What is with the GRFL not being able to organise boundary umpires for the game. They had some little kid (about 10 at the most) doing one side of the ground and the poor little bugger couldn't keep up or throw the ball in. Then an older guy went over to help him but they obviously couldn't find him a whistle.

It was mickey mouse and the league should be disgusted with themselves, but I'm sure there not. If you are going to host an interleague fixture show some professionalism and do the job right. I don't care if LVFL were supposed to supply an boundary or not, GRFL was the host and should have made sure things were organised better.

Really doing a great job supporting our young up and coming stars.

The league has these young kids who can barely throw over their heads officiating at a senior level every week, so i dont see why they would make any exceptions to a one off junior league game

been to a few nully games this year, whos the number 49 running round goes in pretty hard and use's the ball pretty good. any info??

yeah i think it is luke johnson and i have seen him this year and isnt a dud anyway

[footy bloke]

yeah, he gets alot of the ball from what i've seen and isnt a sheep dog- puts his head over the ball and doesnt mind the hard stuff.

whats his history? been watching nully seniors for a few yrs now & have only noticed him this yr. seems a handy inclusion

[coach_carter]

yes he played last year as well but had come back from a 3 year break off footy i heard so started in seconds and broke into the seniors late last year and i think he makes the trip from melbourne every week coz used to come from swan hill

Not the leagues fault re the size of the boundary umpires. Typically people are ready to throw muck,but are unable to pick up a whistle. These kids will grow bigger, hopefully they will still be around after the crap they get from supporters,some players and tools like you.

[juddy5]

Hey hows Coota Dunstone going over at Moula, is he gettin a kick?

Well bring them up through the juniors until they develop and then have them boundary umpiring the seniors. It maybe a minor league, but it is still senior footy therefore the standard of the game should be at the highest levelmade to the highest level possible!

If you have been watching Nully seniors for a few years now you would probably know his name mate...being a bigfooty newbie and talking him up so much makes me suss if you follow my drift!

[danielkerr]

it would be safe to say they are only being used because they are all we have...if we were to develop them through the juniors it would leave us with no boundries for the seniors...

As I said Footy Pie I have been watching a few Nully SENIORS games over the past few years and I hadnt noticed him until this year.
As I have now been informed by Coach Carter, he joined the club last year in the reserves.

Danielkerr has got it right. So therefore they have to start at senior level and learn the ropes there. Is better than having clubbies doing senior games and copping flak from opposition supporters and being accused of favouritism with any close calls. So bend an arm Footy Pie and pat a few of these kids on the back for having a go. Encourage, don't discourage.

[footy bloke]

I reckon the young fellows have been doing a great job doing the boundary. If it wasnt for them the players would probably be doing it.

[coach_carter]

i think that the young fellas are doing a fantastic job for there size... but i agree with footy pie in saying that they need to start at a lower level. most clubs would have under 17's players who could do the boundry if needed or even the parents

are you silly? the kids are obviously the best you can get otherwise there would be older kids / adults doing it wouldnt they, leave the kids alone, most of them have already played under 17's and under 14's and are sacrificing running around and kicking the footy with all of their mates to make the game that you play run more smoothly... have a think smithy

I think you'll find that the initial debate was why was there a kid running the boundary in the Junior Interleague match, in which the point was made that there is these kids in seniors through out the league so why would it be any different for a Junior Interleague game?

most under 17's would be happy to do it on some sort of rotational system if say $15 - $20 was up for grabs. they can all so have a kick at half time with their mates so it isnt as if they are missing out completely. and with the junior interleague game, i think that it is fine in juniors but for 10 yr old kids to be doing it at a senior level is going overboard and expecting to much of the young fellas... but i still say they do a fantastic job considering

[can play]

Hey Foxdoog and Co. How are you looking for tomorrow. Will you be at full strenght? Will there be any excuses after the game?

[footy bloke]

so theres three games left, whos looking good for the b+f from each club???

ultima - luke wilson
quambatook - luke maher
wakool - willie cossack

these four would nearly be definates...

nully - glenn smith
wandella - will callow
moulamein - kane bannam
murrabit - simon morton
macorna - unsure

Luke Wilson for Ultima for sure, not so sure bout Glen Smith for nully but. Has'nt had the year like last and has missed a few games.

Quambatook: Luke Mahar
Wakool: Willie Cossack
Moula: Kane Bannan

Who saw the umpiring at nully on the weekend, bloody shocking!!!!!!!!

yeah, he gets alot of the ball from what i've seen and isnt a sheep dog- puts his head over the ball and doesnt mind the hard stuff.

I see that Johnson was named best on ground for Nully again this week. Surely he will take out Nully's best and fairest comprehensively, and should go close to the league best and fairest.
After watching several Nully games this season there is no doubt he is a class above the rest of the team. Johnson's polished skills and hard as nails approach to the ball would have him in top 5 players of the league. If Nully had more Luke Johnsons, there is no doubt that come September they would have been a dynamic force!

Pretty sure he won't be a contender in the league best and fairest. Big Will Callow would near have that wrapt up this year. Elwood has had a pretty good year and would be a chance to win Nully's best and fairest particularly with Smithy and Scotty Mathiske missing so many games. Nully didn't require to many more Luke Johnsons this year, they needed a Centre Half Forward and Centre Half Back, and a ruckman to assist Stobaus would have been handy! He was probably in the top 5 for Nully on Saturday, but I could think of 3 others that should have been before him.

I gather all this talk about Luke Johnson is tongue in cheek? Because from what i've seen Johnson is just a battler that needs to shed a few pounds.

[danielkerr]

im certain that a lot of players are being "chased" by other clubs already...nothing to write home about that 1 nully player is aswell...

[footy bloke]

If thay had half the hardness as Jez vero, ash martin, johnson and josh poyner and a couple of others they would go a long way. Theres nothing worse then seenin players trying not to get a hit and their is a few of them.

[footy bloke]

[Premiership Season]

Don't know about massive years with these but worth a look...

Michael Harrower from Wandella got a mention a bit towards the end of last year, expect him to improve.

Jordan Simpson from Macorna, for 16 he is quite a solid lad! should be a perminent fixture i would say in their line up.

3 from Murrabit could be worth looking at Blair Monk, Kieran Thorne and Leigh Millard should be a part of the mix you would think.

No one springs to mind from Quamby..

as for the others i don't know

Jordan Simpson is a gun heard some rumors he may be concidering commin it the cmfl. Is a great bakc flank or foward flank even in the guts can play anywhere and is great value to a team

[foxdoog50]

Can Play, u boys were good on the week end u deserve to win... I even heard u shout a few things from the crowd....
So Wandella boys how bad is Will Callow???

Oh yeah Brendan Murchie has got a real good shot from Macorna for the league

[danielkerr]

Whats everyones thoughts on the possible grand final location...?
either at ultima, wakool or quambatook...i personally think that ultima has the best ground/clubrooms/bar etc and should host the big day...but i think that the league should hold the grand final at murrabit every year, the grand final should be showcased on the best playing field in the league. Before anyone starts saying about home ground advantage, its country footy the better team will win regardless of where the game is played...

So u are aware of who Ash Martin is and what brand of footy he plays when he only joined the club a quarter of the way through the season yet you'd never heard of Johnson who played last year and seniors all this year? Seems a lil suss to me?

If you are this Luke Johnson fella that you say your not your team mates will be very unimpressed after you have called them all soft except for a handful of them. You might want to take that offer from the Melbourne club because you may not be welcomed back at Nully.

some of us have work commitments on sat mornings so i dont have the privledge of watching any reserves matches

[Nackas]

Anyway I think that everybody has got the hint that footy bloke is Luke Johnson but lets move onto teams that WILL make an impact come September. Will Callow still got a crook ankle i take it? Any other injuries within the top 4? Ultima will be hosting the GRFL Grand Final. A great initiative by the board and clubs to use a neutral venue within the league to host the Grand Final. Will expect much more of an atmosphere around the Ultima ground than Riverside Park. Grand Finals just seemed dead as it was such a great area with everyone spread everywhere. Only a personal opinon though I must say.

I think it is going to be hard to get a better atmosphere at Ultima for a grand final when there will probably only be a third of the people as usual... they would want to be very vocal!!!! Only my opinion though!

Although Ultima is close to Swan Hill, i do believe that on the same day as the grand final one of the CMFL finals are on the same day? though they may not be held at Swan Hill, most cmfl people would go to there final rather then ours you would think..
Just my opinion, i think they should of left the granny at Kerang, the crowds may have been spread out but with many of the Kerang locals going it was good Financial wise:confused:

[Wh!sPeReR]

Will Callow as a foot injury, not sure what exactly though, heard rumours that it was a cracked bone in his foot but don't think its that serious, should be back for finals!:thumbsu:

totally agree mate....it has been proven in the late 90's that murrabit pull a massive crowd for the grand finals, and since then, the facilities have improved and the playing surface is a million times better! And you couldn't find a more central location....15 mins from kerang, 30 mins from swan hill and 15 mins from barham...u get my drift! Holding a grand final at ultima, pppffff, never heard anything more rediculous.

Suggesting the GF should be at Murrabit every year is ridiculous, you can use that same argument for any ground in the league. Macorna is 20min from Kerang, 20 min from Cohuna, 20 min from Pyramid Hill, 3 hrs from Melbourne, 10 hrs from Adelaide, if people want to go to the game they will go as long as they have a vested interest in the result. It will pull a crowd at any ground because people want to see it not because it's close to there house. Murrabit's surface is the same as every other ground in the league, rock hard, every ground has a good enough surface to host the GF. I think every club has the facilities to host a GF (Quamby's changerooms are small but I'm sure it would be fine).

To be honest Hay has the best set up of any team in the league to put on a GF if only it was 2 hrs closer to everyone else. I think every team should get the chance to show off there ground, facilities and local community to a wider audience. I'm sure Ultima will do a great job and I have no doubt there will be a great crowd there to support all the teams involved.

Its about time you Murrabit people realised that there is another 8 clubs in the league! The league does not revolve around ya's, you do not deserve every Grand Final! You resemble Donald in the North Central, think ya's run the show and funnily enough ya's wear the same colours!

This weeks match between Wandella and Macorna will decide 4th spot... Macorna have the bye in the last round and Wandella play Ultima, so you would think who ever wins would make the finals!:confused:

[bernard the bipolar bear]

I see Ben Carter was at his best in today's Northern Times, stating that the Semi finals are set. By my calculations if Wandella beat Macorna tomorrow then Moulamein will finish a game ahead in second.

Excellent point you make Bear! Moula have Hay and Quamby the last 2 rounds, games that u would not expect them to lose taking their tally to 56 points.
If Macorna lose this weekend they have the bye the last round leaving them on 52 points. Macorna win tomorrow they consolidate a top 2 position and finish on 56 points.
If Wandella lose this weekend they play Ultima in the final round and would expect them to win which will push them to 56 points for the season.
But if the bombers win the next two games they'll finish the season on 60 points.
Moula's percentage is not as strong as the other two teams so their best chance of finishing top 2 is if Macorna get rolled tomorrow. I didnt realise myself just how big of a game it will be @ Wandella tomorrow! Pressures on Tigers!!!!!

Wat does everyone think of the young guns comming up for the thirds this year?
a few have already got a spot in their senior side eg. Matt Ladson- macorna Tyler Miles-wandella Jordan Simpson-macorna.
all three have could still play this year but have moved up from thirds to play seniors and all two of the team are in the finals.
Just wanting to know how you rate these three players and any other young guns doing the same?

[ROOTA#6]

Who is going to coach Nully next year??? Some people on the CMFL friend have pretty much confirmed that Smithy is taking on the Boga job

[Wh!sPeReR]

Its that time of the year where everybody can make their league predictions for awards, so I may as well get this show on the road.

Seniors
Best and Fairest: Will Callow (Wan)
Runner up: Kane Bannam (Moul)
Rookie of the Year: Matt Ladson (Mac)

Reserves
Best and Fairest: Hayden Mcqualter (Moul)
Runners up: Tony Doran (Null)

Thirds
Best and Fairest: Daniel Watts (Null)
Runners up: Daniel Baker (Wan)


Agree with ya on everything there, tough one in the Thirds though, Daniel Watts should win it but as for Baker not to sure, Wandella thirds are a very strong side and have several players that can get votes. Baker is a fair chance to win it but i also think there are others in his team that can as well.. Bad thing for all of them is they steal votes off each other...

On that note, just wondering if anyone takes the thirds competition seriously and your opinion on whether the Wandella U17's can go back to back Premiers Undefeated??

Cheers,:thumbsu:

[coach_carter]

agree with you Nackas, Daniel Watts and Kyle Doran have both been very good for nullawil in unders and with doran getting runner up last year will help as well, as for wandella baker is a very good player as well but as is miles, gibbons, macdonald and many more. these guys will take points off each other so i will say that watts or doran will walk away with the trophy...

[No Clue]

1st Semi Wandella
2nd Semi Nully
Preliminary Hay
Granny Ultima....

As for the three young guns, couldnt agreee with u more Bear:thumbsu:

Agree with ya there Carter, Although i still think Watts has had the better season then Doran, but the Umpires might think differently..

Baker would be the favourite from Wandella, seems miles has missed the second half of the Season due to playing Seniors, Gibbons has had a bad run with injury missing almost half the season with a heart problem than a finger, McDonald could be one to take some votes, is leading there goalkicking and doesn't play in the forward line every week from wat i have seen, so musn't be too bad???
but as you said there are many more to pick from...

[Truck]

I wouldnt go believing everything ya read on bigfooty Roota

Would you follow him over if he was to go?? nearly ready for you to have a crack at the bigger stage isnt it.

[flash2]

I have heard Wakool are paying 17 and 18 year olds up to $100 per game to play seniors. Is this true?

[rockcool]

Matt Ladson from macorna must be the best young talent around.
If he played thirds all year he would walk away with his second league b & f, i wouldnt be suprised if he got votes in league for seniors.
I have seen him play in the seniors and he holds his ground very well breaking tackles and side stepping other senior players very easierly.
other young talent around are kyle symmonds from ultima (with the all round skill, still with a year to go in the thirds i think) benet gibbons from wandella (with the goal kicking) jordan simpson from macorna (built like a tank) and jack baker from quambatook (with the agility) all doin very well in the seniors this season. all should secure a spot next year and years to follow in the seniors.

Short on what?

players i hear, not too many bothered to make the trip up to Hay!

Sort of correct Whisperer. Nully's injury toll has built towards the end of the season, 5 players attended Adam Bennetts wedding, and yes, some people just didn't want to go to Hay.

So the ressies were down a little on numbers, and with 6 under 17's already playing ressies and 2 in the seniors, Arren went back to help out.

Then Arren, Tony Doran, James and Brett Barker, Cameron and Jarrod Tomlins, Patto Ryan, Mitch Moloney and Paddy Rogers stepped up to play seniors, which shows how our numbers were down on the day, and why we only beat Hay by 20pts!!

Hopefully a few of the ressies start pulling there fingers out and getting to training from now on!!!

The twos still managed to battle against the odds and record a 37 goal win. Lucky because extra % was needed to finish top two. I wonder which grade was the priority?

A win for the seniors was still very important but a big win in the 2's was a must as well. No different to Murrabit supplying Wakool with a heap of players after Wakool tried to forfeit on Thursday night. Murrabit did what they had to do to get some %, as did we. By all reports Moula ressies spent quite a bit of time trying to get Big Garth his ton and forgetting about kicking a big score, and this was from the mouth of one of there players.

Must be noted that Hay aren't the best reserves team going around, but were able to field a full ressies team without needing any of our players which was a credit to them as we had not many spare....even though the full back for Hay wasn't aware that the full back kick in had to be kicked before you leave the 10m square, they still were able to field a team!

Lets start some real finals chat.

Macorna V Murrabit - 1st Semi this weekend.

Are Murrabit the sleeping giants waking at the right time of the year??? I think so and believe Macorna will be pooing there pants a little about facing them this week.
Murrabit by 20 points

Macorna V Moula in the ressies. I'm sorry Tigers but I'm tipping your year will be all over this weekend, as Moula are a pretty good outfit in the 2's also.
Moula by 60 points

Murrabit V Quamby in the under 17's.
Not real sure about this game, but will go for Murrabit by about 2 goals.

Murrabit V Hay under 14's.
The Hay boys looked pretty good last week, and if they can get a win here it will land them a home Prelim final. Will tip the Lions by 4 goals.

Didn't Ken Townrow and Col McLennan play in both grades on grand final day in the mid 70's? So it seems the tradition continues in Nully.

ill go with macorna to account for murrabit by 30odd points, as long as someone keeps henry under reasonable control

and moula to win the ressies comfortably...

[No Clue]

Who will the Tigers play on Henry?

[foxdoog50]

Who will the Tigers play on Henry?

Brendan Murchie or Jordan Simpson....

[Nackas]

Brendan Murchie or Jordan Simpson....

Jordan Simpson? You cant be serious Doog???? If so, then Murrabit will give ya's a hiding!!! And Murch lacks about a foot on Henry! You'd be better off whackin big Cocksy on Henry as his goal kicking has been up the s#!t for the last half of the season, and then maybe giving big Plugger or Maso a go on Randall then leave the goals to be kicked by Rowie, Metro and Joel Carter along with ur midfielders?
