my guess it would be Michael Mitchell did play ones for the bullants in senior finals.
Made his debut for the bullants ones in their first final against Sandringham and got dropped the following week. Wasnt upto that standard, the only reason why he got a game is due to the 10-12 rule that VFL has when sides that are alligned to an AFL club when finals start. He didnt get a game before that. In fact the year before he couldnt even get a game in the bullants reserves at times.
A very good player at DVFL level but just cant quite take the next step, so I highly doubt whether an AFL club would be looking at him now, considering he would have already been under the radar of scouts at the bullants and nothing happened.

With the successes of such players as Davey (Melb) & Lovett (Ess.) you could see why slightly built speedsters could be looked at whereas i previous years they were under the radar. Although both Dave & Ninja aren't quite in the same class as these players, do possess similar qualities.
Ayresy is either still 21, or just turned 22. Dave is only 18-19 i believe, so i'd say they'd be looking at Dave.

Would have to agree that it must be Dave M.
Won our B&F last year before moving to Bundoora. I for one thought he may struggle to get a game (competing against the likes of Ayres) but am happy to be proved wrong. He is a very gutsy in an under player who knows where the goals are. Tireless worker who doesnt shirk any issues. Did tend to give a few silly frees away last year through undisciplined actions but apart from that was a gun player.
Would have to question whether he would be too short for AFL?

Ayres is 23 and there is no way we're ever going to see anyone get drafted straight out of the DVFL ever again. they may recommend a VFL club to join to give themselves a chance to give it a crack at the next level, but that's about it. Davey had a sensational year for Port Melbourne prior to getting drafted and although Lovett is a DV boy originally had a stint in the WAFL and two stints at VFL level before (one at Carlton as a top-up player and one at Bendigo Bombers) before being rookie listed by Essendon. There is no way recruiters from AFL clubs would be watching DVFL matches with the specific purpose of drafting somone onto the senior list for 2007. Let's keep things in perspective shall we fellas.

Where am I wrong in all of that then please hugs. The information I received about his days in the VFL are off a bullants player, hence the reason why I put this into my post. I highly doubt if he would be wrong.
People must remember Lovett and Davey were picked up from VFL clubs not local league footy clubs. Its a big step.
the only to then are heath ayres or dave mitchell, but i cant see a reason why afl clubs be watching them now
thats what i ment in my previos post its a big jump from suburbian football to australian standerds, i think maybe it could just be a rumour but good luck to those involved if its true

Bongetti from Eltham was being looked at by the Tigers over the off season. Obviously nothing happened there? It's a tough jump from DVFL to AFL I think you need to goto the VFL first to have any chance but who knows???
Even in a virtal team i get named in the back pocket!!!!!!
Dont know how brutal would like a guy from d4 ammos kicking around in the same team as himself but i will take my oporunity and run with!!!!!!!

now that i think hard it would be all just a beat up if its not michael then i cant see who else it would be davey is way too small for any club to look at thats why he struggled to get a fair go at the knights.
And everyone is right in saying that they may be asked to go down to a vfl club isnt that what is happening wit one of the kings down at coburg this yr?

it wasn't Davey who struggled at the Knights it was Lovett. i was at the Knights when he was there and it wasn't his size at all, in fact there were blokes getting a game who were way smaller than him, it was his strength. if you saw a picture of him back then compared to now you wouldn't recognise him becuase his arms were so skinny and in the TAC cup environment he got knocked off the ball way too easily. there was no doubting his freakish skills and blinding speed even back then, he just needed some time for his body to fill out and mature and for him to tighten up other aspects of his game such as becoming more defensive. its great to see him get him making the most of his opportunity and obvious talents.

who are you talking about lovett or mitchaa?
Didnt james gwilt form st kilda get drafted striahgt form a metro league, the eastern i think? and didnt the saints draft some other lad form the country after he kicked 70 odd goals as a key forward last yr?

it was posted on bigfooty that bongetti is on 500 a week,mayby the tiges were scared off by the big money?
once bruce almighty takes control of OUR league,could we stop feeding the knights and have a dvfl u18 squad playing TAC.the local clubs nurture the players,the rep squads give them a taste,then the only people who get any credit for someone being drafted are the knights.im not saying the knights dont help develop and refine the kids,just asking why cant we do the job ourselves.

sounds like a good idea sparksy. what ever happend to the u/19 interleague?
however, the Knights list consist of the best players from the DVFL and YJFL, u could basically call it the DV/YJ Football Club.

id like it called the DVFL football club,then once that was established,why not a vfl side.lets make the valley the best,the"i must play there"league.instead of talk about which clubs want to leave or who might fold,wouldnt it be better if the dvfl had to choose each year whom they might let join the fold?

As a person that has alot more to do with the junior side of the Diamond Valley, i believe the league should be taking a stronger stand on the incidents that have accured this year so far. If the league wants to get back to where is was 10 years ago as a respected and strong comp. it needs to show to the clubs and the other leagues throught-out victoria that it will not stand for these incidents. I am not going to get on here a bag the diamond valley because it is the place that i have chosen for my kids to play in but i think if they want to be a powerful league again there is a couple of things they need to do.
1. Get some fresh faces and ideas in the admin. department. From a junior side of view this can now happen with the unfortunate death of Lew Hall ( a great man for junior footy ) but hopefully his future postion can be filled by someone that has some new ideas.
2. Move there headquarters from the back warehouse and make it look professional, at the moment it looks like a storage shed. To be professional you need to look professional.
3. We need to try and keep the kids that play junior footy in the dvfl. Someone wrote a couple of pages ago that the bagging of kids that are 14 and 15 has to stop. Well i can tell you from first hand that it is not just the older age groups that are getting bagged it is also the younger ones ( 9's to 13's). I have even seen it in under 9's and it is absolutly disgusting.Most incidents that accure in the junior level are a direct result of parents ( mostly mothers) bagging some poor kid who is out there to have fun. the kid gets upset and goes and does something stupid on the field. This has to stop if we are to keep our kids in our league. FOR ALL THOSE PARENTS WHO DO THIS GROW UP AND REMEMBER THAT THEY ARE ONLY KIDS.
This might happen in other leagues as well but if we get rid of it in the DVFL we are on our way to getting this league back where it belongs.....
GYTM,
Caller on SEN this morning "Yummy" asked the question whether another Football Club had 2 players captain the same AFL side in the one year a la Whitnall and Kouta this year. Big wrap for Lalor.

Yeah mate both are Lalor boys and both really good blokes... Yummy is a stalwart down at Lalor, always on the radio for some reason or another.
I gotta say boys all this talk about a DVFL player being looked at seems a little far fetched... Dont get me wrong, we have alot of talent floating around at the moment, but nothing to really make you sit back and go "faaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrk this kids is a freak". I know Preston were looking at a young fella at our club late last year, and early pre season he got a season ending knee injury that required a reco. The kid is a gun (fast, good skills, hard at it) but Im not sure he could be an AFL footballer. Look at Justin Murphy... far from an elite AFL footballer, he was an honest battler at best. But you watch him running around in our comp and he is just a class above. He does it easy, maybe sometimes a bit to easy.
I was talking to Jake King last week, and he said it's unbeleivable how fit and fast those guys are down at Richmond, where he has been training with the main group on Tuesdays the last 6 weeks. I also know that Carlton have been keeping an eye on him, and I am tipping that he will get a permanant gig on either of those lists at seasons end. He has had a fantastic year Jake, and good on him too :thumbsu:

Big Lurch has retired at the ripe old age of 24. Had shoulder operations did all the rehab and still could not get through a game without re-dislocating. Great shame as when he was up and going I reckon he was as good as Heid's D.Nolan. He was very important to Mont the two years we played off.

You could probably squeeze Downey and Cow in there as well I would think. Would be close to the best side on paper, but hopefully there is not too many blokes in there who are underdone. We do need them to get some matches under their belts before finals though!!!
Certainly 3 big games tomorrow. Been looking forward to this since round 1, and will give us all an indication of where we are at. Will be a big test. Hopefully those beers from your bar will be tasting good after the game bearfan!

well he has put the money to good use, turned up to training last night sporting a new hair do, a nice blow wave special very 1980's. Rumour has it he is trying to stand out in the last few weeks because he has some ground to catch up on ryan daley for this years B&F. well at least he finally put some money over the bar last night after some harassment from everyone from the 14 yr boundry ump to the 90 yr old who runs the canteen!!!!!

The ground isn't flash at the moment but give it a week of fine whether and it'll come up perfect. Head Sheahan does a power of work to keep it up to standard. Bit rough though, having a go at a facility that the HFC has kindly offered. Have it on good authority that your ground is one of the worst in the GVFL after a rain, but doesn't get the traffic on it to cut it up because no ones training on it.
well he has put the money to good use, turned up to training last night sporting a new hair do, a nice blow wave special very 1980's. Rumour has it he is trying to stand out in the last few weeks because he has some ground to catch up on ryan daley for this years B&F. well at least he finally put some money over the bar last night after some harassment from everyone from the 14 yr boundry ump to the 90 yr old who runs the canteen!!!!!
Nothing more threatening than a 14yo hanging out out for his Jimmy can, I`m tipping Cookie would have recognised the danger in that and hotfooted to the bar straight away. Interesting he `s behind in the B n F, that would be causing him some sleepless nights, I suppose the onfield waxing of the footy between the two may result in a third party coming to the fore now, can`t see Cookie wanting to share too much of the ball with young Rysa now.
Who's M Skelly? Someone might have to point him out so I can introduce myself before the game!!!
You could probably squeeze Downey and Cow in there as well I would think. Would be close to the best side on paper, but hopefully there is not too many blokes in there who are underdone. We do need them to get some matches under their belts before finals though!!!
Certainly 3 big games tomorrow. Been looking forward to this since round 1, and will give us all an indication of where we are at. Will be a big test. Hopefully those beers from your bar will be tasting good after the game bearfan!
The boro's have a cracking side in this week and have been looking forward to a hard fought contest for weeks. Must say that our seconds have probably their best side in all year also. Should be a ripper game.

I dont think any of my posts that I said we played on a perfect ground. It is a shocking ground after some rain and Im the 1st to admit that. Our ground does get traffic by the way, we do have a junior footy club and senior footy club that train and play on it. Im just stating that its the worst I have ever seen the ground, which is a shame as I believe it was a very good ground to play on.

Hopefully will be a great game, although Lowers form even when winning has not been great but I have theory on this and hopefully by 5pm Saturday it will be a pretty good theory. Will certainly be the tallest side going around in all forms of D.V.F.L. footy this weekend I imagine with some of the inclusions, only problem will be players underdone, but we have no choice but to play them.

Makes for an interesting contest there tomorrow, Creek enjoy those type of conditions and as we all know are more than capable of handling the bigger grounds alot better than most.

In saying that though, Heidelbergs class players will be the difference in the end... I just dont think they will belt Creek as severely as they would some other sides in those type of conditions on a ground that size. The size of Heidelbergs ground would not be a huge weight on the shoulders of those at Creek.
info is that the investigation has put off to next week til the bloke who was assaulted is well enough to attend and can talk properly....
also of note is that north have suspended the player who did it...
Does anybody know what has/hasn't happened with this investigation ??
Or have the DVFL done yet another Houdini and just whipped it under the carpet again??
Any news from Creek end Andy ?? :rolleyes:

Cooka is not 1 to share it around with his team mates, unless ur talking about his women....lol, but dales does a good job of finding it himself and feeding it out to the "loose" cookson...

….DIAMOND VALLEY NEWS FLASH…....
An investigation was heard last night by a three member panel into an incident occurring after the siren between Nth Heidelberg and Diamond Creek at Shelly street reserve. This panel was hastily convened by the Diamond Valley administration. All three members were either life members or ex-presidents of the Nth Heidelberg football club or both. It took them exactly two minutes and 13 seconds to have a good laugh at the case and dismiss.
Apparently the creek witnesses have mysteriously "gone missing":D …..

are you talkn bout the mony nheid game last week? rumour has it a incident after the game where mont players jaw broken
Matty -I was having a bit of gag
I like your sense of humour J&B.
However, that is exactly what is likely to have happened, and i can see why the Kid (matty) got confused.
Let's hope the league does take it a little more seriously and only allows 2 former Nth ex- president /Life members on their 3 member panel, and perhaps reserve the 3rd seat for one of the Brandt Brothers. LOL

Not sure where that rumour come from? - but can confirm we came out unscathed last week.
We are talking about the investigation into Nth H V Creek incident (refer to previous posts)

cant wait!!!! I'll be sure to keep a close eye on Skelly, apparently he can play a bit... seriously im pretty lucky to be in the side, i cant even remember what lane work looks like anymore.
We have a massive side in. the dry conditions will suit us, and if we get it right we are a real chance. Things are building nicely towards finals.

Is that because M Skelly is back in despite not training for a month?
Seriously through it would be the best side we have had this year with the exception of C White.
Hoping for 3 good games and to sneak a couple of wins.
great effort by lower - smashed in all three games. total of just 11 goals by senior sides. look like tumbling out of top six and if play finals will go out first week.

we didnt smash them.we only won by 59 points.I think this is a long over due result. Nth Heidelberg have won a lot of games by intimidating sides i really beleive the myth has come to an end. Id like to see the four next year consist of bundoora , eltham , diamondcreek and mont and bring finals to the heart of the valley all we need now is Epping to go to divi two along with the dogs would nt that be grand ! :cool:

We were shown up by a far more professional outfit who wanted the footy a lot more than us! They were very impressive and we were terrible. Hopefully it was just a bad day for us, time till tell. But it is certainly back to the drawing board and the only way you can get through it is hard work. Starting with a Sunday training session today!!!!
I've just been to a family member's junior final at the EFL. Their prices are $4 to get in plus a free Record. Why did we have to pay $8 last week plus an extra $1 for a Record? They will also have their GF's video'd whilst the DVFL have canned this idea this season.
There cannot be that must of a difference in staging four finals in a day, can there?

No excuses, but what was blatantly obvious is that Greensborough as a club is head and shoulders above any other Div 2 club in preparation for div 1 football and that we (Lower) are about three years away from reaching that level. That is not to say that they are a shoe in to win the 1`s flag but if they don`t then whoever beats them will not have the depth to cope with div 1 football.

In the EDFL there is no charge to the first 2 weeks of their finals. Just another way for the DVFL to put a bit extra into their pockets! Making parents pay $8 to take their kids to play finals footy is a joke in my opinion.
Went to north heidelberg today to watch some junior finals. Speaking of gate charges, the bloke on the gate was the rudest incompetent man i have ever run into. He was a disgrace and for visitors to the valley games, he is first person they run inot. first impressions last. Get someone with some ppl skills.

just back from thommo where some clown sounded his car horn to cause the u17 last quarter to be holted and chaos followed.
and last week's record said that it was the club delegates that voted not to have the grand finals taped.
As an outsider it seems there's always gripes as to the way your comp is managed. Some of you regular posters seem really passionate about your comp - any of you in the position of trying to run against the current DVFL guru's and getting some fresh blood and fresh thought processes into power.
It would be a shame to see a once powerful metropolitan competition continue to slide due to the poorly run (and outdated) administration you all regularly refer to.
And also . . . . what a w**k paying $8 to watch the kids play

It was a ripper game to watch. I think our first half cost us letting your guys kick 7 goals each quarter. We came home well but everytime we got within a goal you boys just kicked a quick 1 or 2 and kept that buffer.
But I dont want to take anything away from Deano and the boys down there they played very good football for 4 quarters. A fun time was had by all after the game with an few boys from wallan hanging around to stumps, always good to catch up with old mates.:thumbsu:
Rumour has it that the Thommo boys were trying to acquire the services of some Wallan boys for next year by supplying them with free spirits all night.:D

Looking at the scores mox, it looked be an old fashion shoot out. Im sure the Wallan boys would have liked your services out there. You may have got them over the line. Does that mean the season is over for you boys?
I was speaking to a player from Lower on Saturday night, while having a few beers he mentioned that his team are just not upto it. To many blokes that think they are better then what they actually are. He also stated that they are no hope of getting back upto div1 in the next 5 years.
