i heard there was a bust up at Ingelwood with the committee a couple of weeks ago and half were hell bent on giving Billet the flick and the other half (including the president) hell bent on keeping him.
Mark Hayes is a name that keeps getting mentioned to me for the coaching job.
I saw Mark Hayes running around Lake Weeroona at lunchtime today. Well he was stretching, but by the way he was doubled over, it looked he had been running. :D
As for Brent Dyer. The most negative coach I have ever seen. He got the team to the GF, but with the talent on offer, should have got the team over the line. Had a couple of injuries in Wills and Bourke, but didn't recruit any backups, and had a 2nd gamer plus Gordon doing the ruckwork in a Grand Final. Were run over by Calivil both times in the finals which suggest fitness was a query. Perhaps the Maroons shouldn't be doing shuttle runs and running around the town during July/August, and perhaps do that before the season starts.
The other flag he won, he had guys like Flanagan, Carson and Dunn who were quality players, plus a younger G.Bourke and runners like Milsom, Hecker, O'Brien and Broom.
Corey Warne may be a smoky. Coached the twos very well after having the heart ripped out of his side on prelim final day, and could adapt to senior coaching.
Newbridge is a quality club, but are better off without Dyer at the helm.
I'd heard that Zane Bigmore might be returning to Inglewood from Navarre. Maybe as coach?
I heard Bigmore coudl be heading st arnaud way with maybe a few blokes from the loddon valley heading with him..
Shouldn't you know who your own team mates are???
Lol, nah coz i am Hayden Sumner, number 16 for Marong... Look out for me next season :thumbsu:

Darryl Billett runs a chicken shop in White Hills , i was in there about 3 weeks ago to buy a chook and he said he was coaching again, but that was 3 weeks ago.
I can confirm a few clubs in this league contacted D. walsh but he is playing another year at Square.

You'd better get on the weights in the off season mate!

I see on the North Central thread that Nathan McNally has been linked with St Arnaud next season.

yeah i think nathan had a falling out with St Aranaud a few years back and that's why he ended up at Serp, if that rift is healed than you can bet your bottom dollar he'll be back at St Arnaud.

Yes it started when brother Heath was omitted from the St Arnaud Senior Grand Final. They left the next year and have been playing in serp since.. That would have been in about 2003 i think.

Will any of the 2007 LVFL U17 players have an impact at senior level in 2008?
Do you think the opposition senior / reserve players will try to take out the younger ones that are going up an age group?

Can't say I managed to catch a lot of junior footy this year Bill but you shouldn't have any doubts about stepping up to senior level next year. If you playing in the Maryborough/Castlemaine league I would be. If your team mates are worth anything you will be looked after if anything untoward happened which I very much doubt. You only have to look at Matt Smith from Calivil this year to realise if you have the class size doesn't matter.

i think the only given in the 2007 crop of juniors is Matthew Smith from Calivil will be playing at a higher level of football. Hopefully Mark Ellis gets his head out of his @rse and gets this kid into the pioneers program and gets rid of his arrogant attitude towards juniors in the district leagues.
The young fella from YCW has won the last two league medals must be a chance to play senior footy as well if he hangs about.
Will Matt Keating have any pulling power when it comes to recruiting? As I think he may have a few to replace like Loring who hasn't got a phone call from Keating, McCormick who is playing elsewhere, Bennett who North are keen to get back, along with Alford and Kingdom, who will go if Bennett goes?
I think a goal kicker would be at the top of his list.

I dont really know from other teams, but certainly from Marong, James Bower (2nd in the Best and Fairest) and Alan Rackstraw will have impacts. Both played around 6-7 games this year for the Senior side.

The Pioneers seem to overlook the LVFL and HDFL. The only Pioneer listed player that I know of that comes from these leagues is "Saladino", who plays for Heathcote seniors.
The LVFL lose alot of kids to the Under 18's, then many never come back. Having the opportunity to play at senior level, and do preseason with Pioneers could develop these kids well.
Maybe if the Pioneers invited kids from the LVFL & HDFL to preseason training, this would help these leagues to retain young players.
If the kids don't make the Pioneer preseason cut, they are still better off for doing the higher level training.
Yes, I agree........there is a lot of arrogance amongst many of the players on the Pioneers list.

that would make Keating's job that much harder if he were to lose Bennett especially, the others would be big losses as well as all senior footballers. Is Lorring looking to move on or just dirty because he hasn't got a phone call? Has Keating rang the rest of the list? Any confirmed as leaving?
A full forward if McCormick is no longer there would be at the top of the shopping list, seemed to lack an avenue to goal this year with McCormick and with lorring being injured / playing in the reserves.
I dont really know from other teams, but certainly from Marong, James Bower (2nd in the Best and Fairest) and Alan Rackstraw will have impacts. Both played around 6-7 games this year for the Senior side.
Hey Hayden, James Bower has improved out of sight in the last couple of years and Alan Rackshaw is a hard nut that could be better if he committed himself.
What about that Frankel kid, Camilleri and Nugget.........what are they doing in 2008?

From what I have heard he will be recruiting very hard and has a fairly extensive plan in place for this. He knows a lot of good footballers around town and I for one hope that Bomber stays Bobbill, great player and clubman, plus Alford and Kingdom are big losses if Bomber goes.

Didn't play under him, but was a keen spectator at that stage. Always puts players down before mentioning any positives, which he rarely finds any.
Bungled the 2007 season for both ones and twos.

Freddo is a big rap for Matt Camileri so I wouldn't be surprised if he gets the chance to play seniors next season. Lachie Frankel is all class and has shown that he will have what it takes to play seniors if he puts on a few pounds. Nugget has some work to do if he wants to retain a spot in the ones.

yeah well i think Matt needs to put on a bit too. A small fella, but he is a great mark. Lachie needs to put alot on aswell, but yeh Nugget was injured alot this season, so was limited to play matches for us
What Under 17 players (other than Marong) do you think will go well in the step up to reserve / seniors?
Jordan Lea (Calival) picked up 2 league votes, whilst filling in for the Seniors.
That Pollock kid from Bridgey looks as though he's got a bit of a future.

yeah Jordan Lea should have a big futrue. Alexander Pollock is a good player, but when he has a quiet one, he has a really really bad one. A awsome left foot kick. Jake Concol (YCW) and under 17 league Best and Fairest is a solid kid, would be difficult to get past him wether seniors, reserves or anything.

I can assure you that there is absolutely no truth to this. I have just got off the phone with John; he is a definite starter for Marong in 2008. He said there is no way he would leave Marong, especially now with Freddo as coach. Leigh is returning after a year off and Ian is likely to play in Melbourne as he lives there. John said that Noelene and Lisa will not be leaving either.

Will Linda McCormack be going too, she will be sadly missed at YCW, as will there two gorgeous boys.

Don't know if he would play against ycw, even thou he is not happy with them. I have heard there are a few HDFL clubs chasing him.

hey haydos great to see your pumped for next year, with the class of players the 17s have plus hopefully a few new players it could be a big year for you guys hopefully. Looking forward to it already.
Don't know if he would play against ycw, even thou he is not happy with them. I have heard there are a few HDFL clubs chasing him.
I'd heard he was heading to coach North Bendigo. Makes some sense if the likes of Bennett and Alford etc. are heading there too.
If he wants to coach, Calivil might not be out of the question. They are looking for a coach and need a key forward; might as well kill two birds with one stone.
I'm sure he's got a fairly hefty price on his head.

5 Oct 2007, 22:21
i reckon calivil have gone alright the past three years without a key forward!
Although they were unstopable with Pip Hetherington in the side. It doesn't happen too often that a coach leaves a LVFL club and crosses to another one to play against them.
I know Steve Cox has played at Newbridge and Serp but no real big names still playing that i can think of who have done it.
I've heard White Hills with McCormick and also Castlemaine in the BFL?

oh ok
pollock played a few senior games but was hardly gettin a run he got a fair go in one game and tore it aparently...
Jake Concol do you think senior footy will be to fast for him? with the extra size he has he is also a slower player?

it would be pretty quick for him no doubt, but if he can get the ball, then i wouldnt think many could bring him down to be honest. Reserves might be the only he can get too

I dont know if John is telling you the hole truth their hellboy. Just spoke to one of Leighs very good mates and he has been approached by Colbo (dont know if officially or just through mates) Dont know Leigh personally but his is very happy with his knees, already lost 8kg (after putting on 10kg) a looking for a good year of footy.

The Gun Recruit
8 Oct 2007, 09:08
If Billlett wants the job, he should get it. Inglewood appear to have turned the corner this season but could quite easily slip back into their old ways. The only reason I see for some wanting Billett out is that they may be seeking a high quality playing coach. I'm sure there would be issues that none of us are privy to that might have caused this rift. We can only speculate.
I'd heard that Zane Bigmore might be returning to Inglewood from Navarre. Maybe as coach?
Good call, hellboy. Billett has put together a pretty handy, young squad who could have easily been knocking on the door of the top five this year. What is needed now is stabilty, a similar or slightly better year next year would put them back in the race for big name recruits.
Agreed, the only reason to oust chunky would be for a high quality playing coach, however I still don't think they are in the position to do that yet.

would be very disappointing for the eagles to lose the coach and the assistant coach in the same year. I assume Kingdom, Alford, Bennett and Lorring would go with him if appointed?
Would make life difficult for the incoming coach to lose 5 - 6 of the senior side straight away.

This sort of thing would make it difficult to recruit good players to the club. Losing 5 - 6 good senior footballers could suggest an instability at the club which might result in potential recruits going elsewhere. Ideally a coach or recruiting committee would be looking for 5 or 6 players to top up the rather than replace. If this turns out to be true, YCW are probably in need of 10 -12 players.
Frankenfurter
8 Oct 2007, 12:20
i reckon every club turns over 4 - 6 senior players every year, but to lose a block of players like that and including probably the 3 best players at the club (McCormick, Lorring, Webb) is a tough one to swallow.
Any news on who is taking over at Newbridge?
I have been reliably informed that Darryl Billet has been re-appointed at Inglewood.

hard to see that happening now. been a redback for nearly ten years, loves it there, they love him!
if dave was still at inglewood maybe, but i'd say ben will be at wedderburn till he gets a life membership.
inglewood must really hurt, that he left all those years ago!!
on the billett saga, he seems to have a youth policy and it is worked pretty well for them this year (bridgy knows bout that!!!), he should keep doing it! :thumbsu:

As an outsider, the inglewood committee would have to have rocks in their head not to reappoint Billett. You couldn't have asked for a better result for them this year. And as for the talk of Hayes returning as coach...that would be a disaster. I remember playing them a couple of years ago when he was in charge and the inglewood boys biffed each other at half time! They need stability...

pigdon should be good for newbridge, from all reports was a very good tactical coach when he coached the 2's there. would have to have better people skills then brent dyer. should keep a few more footballers there now with a new coach. is there any falling out with brad comer though? his old man is best mates with dyer. any clubs chasing any of the sandhurst players? talk is 10-15 of their senior team is looking elsewere...

Pigdon. Really? That's a surprise. Has a good footy brain, but humility isn't a strong point.

expect him to bring a few with him to newbridge aswell. in particular a quality utility from leitchville/gunbower who kicked around 50 goals in a finals team

Geez hard to please Emu. You hated Dyer and now giving Pigdon a belt.
Who would of you recruited mate to coach.

Damien Webb rang Matt Keating tonight to tell him that he is playing at North Bendigo next year. I don't know if Webb is going as Ass. Coach or just as a player but has said yes to North.
I think now you could add Kingdom, Alford, Loring andf maybe even Bennett to go with Webb. Don't be surpised if a couple of other YCW players from this year end up at North as well!

Eagles to struggle next year then i would imagine, it's not the way you want to start a coaching career with probably 4 of the best players gone (McCormick, Lorring, Webb, Bennett).
Good pick ups for Nth Bendigo though, will it make them competitive Bobbill? (Probably a question for the HDFL board) Is it a falling out at YCW or just a desire to go back to Nth?

north did beat the teams that finished 4th and 5th last year so they are already competitive. These players along Aarron Craig from the pioneers and a few others should put them in the finals race.

What about Calival frank. Any word on their new coach?

heard McCormick was talking to them but more as a player rather than coach. Don't believe they are in a hurry to appoint a coach, happy to wait and see who is avaliable and then appoint from there.

Brad Comer's name has come up on the North Central thread linking him with St Arnaud. It has been mentioned on here of a possible falling out with Newbridge. Any truth or just silly season B/S?

i've heard Comer's old man wasn't too happy that he and Dyer got the flick, so it wouldn't surprise if that were true.

I've heard Nick Manley might be on his way back to calivil frank, how do you think he and mccormick would go in the same side?
Frankenfurter
11 Oct 2007, 17:59
Rick,
I don't think it would be an issue because if both McCormick and Manly were at Calivil i think you'll find that N.Manley would win the reserves goal kicking title.

I would have to agree went to elmore for a pay rise and didn't perform( W.O.G in the GF) just not fit and disciplined enough for senior footy, but in saying that if he played in a good 2's side could kick alot of goals

Manly has progressively got worse at each club he has been at if you ask me.
any clubs chasing any of the sandhurst players? ...
Marong have spoken to a couple. I'm not at liberty to divulge any more details at the moment.
I know Marong was keen for Metrovich a couple of years ago but didnt have the funds. Is he one of them Hellboy? Maybe cheaper due to injuries and heard he will never return to the Slagheads?

i think that manly going back to calivil would be the best thing for his footy. he would be surrounded by a good support group and his performances would improve 110% in my opinion
Frankenfurter
12 Oct 2007, 14:14
a good support group helps, and young nick needs a good support for his seats so they don't break. At the end of the day he needs to pull his finger out and get at least semi fit and then he may find that instead of spending a vast majority of time on the pine he can play footy.
No doubt he can play, but is just lazy.

Did manley get much game time when he played at calivil origionally or did he play because they didn't really have any key forwards?
Was speaking to an elmore man the other day and he told me they were very disappointed with him.

when pip hetherington was playing Nick played mainly in a forward pocket or up at chf, obviously his motor isn't that big to allow him to play there. Played some good footy mainly because he got good match ups (hetherington, Fremantle demanded the best backmen) and is a massive kick of the footy and a good kick for goal.
Was found out a bit when pip retired and was soon off to Huntly.
i think Manly was thankful to the tribunal for giving McKern 3 weeks as it may have saved his spot.

when manly was at calivil he was never in any real danger of losing his spot. he always worked hard at training and was usually the last one off the field after trainings. when he is enjoying his footy he works hard and plays well.

never said he was in danger of losing his spot
never said he didn't work hard at training
never said he played well
On the field in his time at Calivil he was never the focal point to goal, he always got the third or fourth string backline player and that is what made him dangerous and ensured his spot in the team he stretched backlines, when he was at Serp he was the big dog in the forward line with Gadsden and didn't cope as well. At Huntly he was a focal point with Geary not playing struggled, at Elmore he was a bit player again and found his spot, however there wasn't a lot of pressure on him retaining his spot once he knew McKern wasn't avaliable.
He is like a lot of footballers, seems a lot better in good sides (see Des Headland's career) and struggles when the focus on him.

I know it was only at Huntly but he did come 3rd in our B&F last year he played some really good footy out of position spent a fair bit of time on the ball but yeah he got found out at elmore

i have a whole lot of respect for the man. he has the footy smarts that are needed to be a good player. sometimes his actions let him down on the field but he also has the skills to be a good player in a senior side.

my apologies, i didn't realise he had such a good year at Huntly. I don't think anyone questions his ability as a player.
