View Full Version : Lodden Valley Football League
Maybe it's just because of the rivalry between Marong and YCW, but I hope that YCW really struggle next year. Someone has to hold up the ladder, it may as well be them. I don't begrudge the success the club has experienced over a long period of time but the manner in which some players and supporters carry themselves has shown a great lack of humility. The taunts and abuse dished out by a select few on the sidelines in the last round against Marong, even when 20 odd goals in front, was pretty ordinary. I cannot wait for the opportunity to remind them of this next season.
Spot on Hellboy.
YCW have really shoveled it on to Marong in the past and that last game was more embarrassing for YC than Marong. But this has created a great rivalry. I read earlier that Moose has pulled the pin from the committee, Surely not. One of few blokes at YC who's head isn't up his ar$e. Will we be seeing the big fella still at the footy?

When are Calavil going to anouce McCormick as their new coach?
Serp offered the job to Holdstock from G.S quare but he knocked it back.
Can anyone elaborate on D.McCormick coaching calivil?
Where did you hear that Investor? Just a rumour at this stage.
Is Gadsden still coaching???

Moose has only taken a step back from being on the committee, had his knee fixed, is on a fitness campaign, going to try and play and is very much still a YC person.

Just what YCW need to add to their reputation of being front runners 'some slagheads' Feel sorry for Matt Keating really; good bloke, good player but took over the reins of a club that had players only interested in their own names and $$$
Who would these "names" and big dollar players be Special?
No, he stepped down, brett rogers is taking over next year. Dodgie is playing for marong next year which is great.
Dodgey is a great bloke to have involved inn a footy club-bit of age on him now

There is an amazing similarity between Moose and Johnny Howard. It seems both are embarking on a campaign that will be near impossible to win. Good Luck Moose!

Sorry bowhunter, didnt actually say it was big dollars. Just suggesting that some players were there for some coin and when that dried up have moved onto greener pastures. As for names- not to publicly scrutinise individuals but ill just say those that have only stuck around for a year or two and not produced the football that there 'names' suggest they could. This happens at all clubs no doubt but as a club, im sure that YCW would be disappointed with some of their recruits over the last couple of years. They have been pretty active over the last few years in this department compared to other clubs in the league :D

Apparently He is talking to any club that will listen. It would be a brave move by Calivil to appoint him coach given his coaching record.

24 Oct 2007, 11:09
My understanding is that Calivil will not entertain him as a coach or player. From all reports the only sure thing is McCormick isn't going to be at YCW. I've heard in the past three weeks the following clubs as talking to him:
Castlemaine
Kangaroo Flat
White Hills
Mt Pleasant
Serpentine
Nth Bendigo
Early favourite was Nth Bendigo but i believe he priced himself out of there, then Mounts were half keen but once again price was an issue. Wouldn't be surprised if he ended up at Kangaroo Flat.

I'd save your money Hellboy! He showed this year that he can be contained with a good defender and with a player thats prepared to cut off his leads he becomes fairly tempremental. If he ran few a few blokes when he gets the chance I doubt whether they would be game enough to stand there.
And lets face it. His frame isn't getting any smaller!

McCormick is kidding himself if he thinks he could return to the BFL in the shape and fitness he is currently in.
YCW apparently passed on some more than handy applicants which wouild've brought some recruits but Matt Keating was heavily pushed for the job by his brother, vice president.
Jarrod Loring signed at Nth.Bendigo along with Webb who ass.coach and Kingdom is in negotiations with Nth also.

He is getting on the big side, although he did dominate sides most weeks when not injured. I think Chris Lakey give him a fair hiding when YCW played Newbridge but him aside i think he is still the best forward in the league and has fantastic hands and a smart lead.
At some point in the next couple of months there will be a side willing to cough up $500 - $600 for his services as a forward for hire and i reckon he is good for 70+ goals in any of the leagues in and around Bendigo.

McCormick isn't the only fatty boom bah leaving the eagles then. Lorring seems to have spent a fair bit of time in a good paddock. Ended up in the two's for YCW, so not sure if Nth know what they are getting themselves in for.

thats alot of money for a single player who spent time injured this year, any ideas who might be willing to spent that sort of money? is there any other key players who might be on the move? e.g. there was talk a little while back that the mcnally brothers maybe headed back too st.arnaud

He would'nt kick 70+ in the BFL i can tell you that, 40-50 at very best with most of them coming from bottom sides.
For starters BFL fb's run off to create and you reckon he would chase, i know he kicked a ton in 2006 but my grandmother could kick a ton in LV and she's had a hip replacement and got a dodgey knee!
Remember Greckix and Brown omly kicked 60 odd this season for e/hawke and McCormick is not in their class.

seems to me you underestimate lv footy, yes bendigo footy is stronger buy i reckon we still have some excellent players in lv and 100 was a great effort the only query i had on him was he carried injuries this year. in a good team and fit he would certainly make an impact in any league around bendigo maybe not 70+ but he certainly would have to bre respected

I wouldn't go that far Franky! I spoke to Lorring after one game he was in the two's and he said he was working back from injury...the board wanted him to play seniors. Still a very good player...I wouldn't mind having him in my 22.

no doubt he can play, although he is empty upstairs, a real peanut. Like every bloke who gets the flick from the seniors to play reserves he was injured, blah blah blah blah.
I think McCormick missed a month of footy and still ended up with more than 70 goals. You have to remember even if the full backs are better in the LVFL so are the on ballers putting it down his throat. He has kicked big numbers of goals for Sth Bendigo before so i still think he is good for 4 a week which would give him 80 for the year in the BFL. In the LVFL or HDFL 70 is being ultra conservative.

He fits the criteria for Serp doesn't he? Pushing on in age, body starting to play up... They've shown they're not afraid to throw the old cheque book around to the elderly. But do agree Frankenfurter, at some stage a club will throw the coin to him. How many decent full-forwards become available these days???

well thats a bloody good pick up! nathan mcnally would be the best midfielder in the comp, his brother is an awesome footballer to. and brad comer was one of the better players during the year! are st.arnaud a strong side?

exactly right Bobbill, that's why he will get the money he is after. He was without a doubt the best forward in the LVFL this year.
Put it this way, what he is asking for is from all reports what Shevvy gets at Newbridge, now before all the newbridge peanuts get on here and say he is a local and went there for that reason, get your head out of your @rse, he went to Newbridge because he was too lazy to get fit (which is why he didn't go back to Wedderburn) and was happy to take the money on offer from Newbridge, i'd take McCormick over Shevilin in current shape any day of the week.
Heard from an ex calivil player over Stanhope way Robbie Bennett has been offered a good wad of cash to play for them next year. Another massive loss for YCW if true.

From what I've heard, Billy Grant has has been fairly active on the recruiting front without a huge amount of success at the moment. That's nothing out of the ordinary for this time of year though. I know he has spoken to another Marong local about his movements next year. I had also heard second hand that Tim Wicks has been offered some big coin to go to North Bendigo

Aren't you forgetting about a bloke called Chilcott? Surely this placing some doubt over McCormicks reign as the premier forward in the comp. Forget the fact that McCormick played fewer games, Chilcott kicked 30 more goals. There is very little separating the two as far as average goals kicked per game. I'll take the bloke who plays the whole season and kicks a ton thanks.
Frankenfurter
25 Oct 2007, 10:16
have a look at who Chilcott kicked his goals against? Not discounting the number of goals he kicked but like Greg Gadsen the other year who kicked 27 goals in the last game against Inglewood to get to his ton it doesn't make him the best forward in the league.
Honestly if you had to pick a forward in the LVFL no one in their right mind would go past McCormick. He probably kicked 200 goals for YCW in two seasons. Chilcott obviously can play but beats up on the weaker sides, McCormick kicked bags against all comers including 10 when they belted Calivil this year at Bacchaus Oval.
Agree it's a subjective thing to pick the best forward, but for me McCormick is clear cut on top.

I think the LVFL would be happy for Wicks to move on, he too is a peanut. Would be a conservation for the ages with Wicks and Lorring having a conservation at Nth Bendigo next year.
If Bennett doe'snt get lured to Stanhope he will end up at Nth, definately won't be staying at YCW.

Why doesn't he go and play were McCormick is going to play if he is such great mates with him? I don't think there is a good way to sack a coach that leaves the playing group happy is there?
There must be more to it from YCW to get rid of him as a coach after the general consenus is he is one of the best forwards in the league.

Just to get facts straight, Gadsden never kicked 27 goals against I'wood, I think you'll find twas Dunolly.
As for Ben Rose to Bridgey, keep dreamin, he's probably a 90% chance to play for Wedderburn and a 10% chance to play for Inglewood. 0% chance of playing for Bridgey.

It's a shame about the mass exodus of players leaving YCW. Not for the reason it weakens YC, as everyone would be quite happy about that but it's the quality of players. Loring, McCormick, Webb, Bennett are all good players that would be walk up starts in any side and with them exiting our league it makes it weaker. I'm sure everyone would rather player a decent standard of footy in a close match rather than flogging teams by 100 points every week.

it's a good point you make, although with those at least three of those players leaving YCW being paid players it should give them the chance to recruit other paid players into there side, god knows they are going to need them.

Could be true about Comer. Heard he and his father were unhappy about how Dyer was not retained as senior coach at Newbridge and both wanted out.
Newbridge signing Pigdon could well go down as one of the biggest mistakes in this league thats for sure. Where has he been? Coaching quals? As far as I know he only coached the reserves and what contacts does he have???

Shevvy approached Wedderburn to play there this year and was told by the president and the coach they would love to have him back but he needed to lose 15 - 20 kgs. Went and seen Newbridge and they had no such requirement of the big man, hence an easy decision on where he was going to play.

have a look at who Chilcott kicked his goals against? Not discounting the number of goals he kicked but like Greg Gadsen the other year who kicked 27 goals in the last game against Inglewood to get to his ton it doesn't make him the best forward in the league.
Honestly if you had to pick a forward in the LVFL no one in their right mind would go past McCormick. He probably kicked 200 goals for YCW in two seasons. Chilcott obviously can play but beats up on the weaker sides, McCormick kicked bags against all comers including 10 when they belted Calivil this year at Bacchaus Oval.
Agree it's a subjective thing to pick the best forward, but for me McCormick is clear cut on top.
I can't agree with you Frank so I thought I'd have a closer look at the numbers.
AGAINST TOP 5 SIDES
Both Chilcott and McCormick played 8 games against the teams that played finals. Both of them kicked 45 goals. On the same week that McCormick kicked 10 against Calivil (round 11), Chilcott kicked 11 against Newbridge. While McCormick kicked more bags (10, 9 & 8), Chilcott kicked 5 or more goals in 6 of the 8 games.
AGAINST BOTTOM 4 SIDES
Against teams outside the 5, Chilcott kicked 56 and McCormick kicked 25. However McCormick only played 4 games and Chilcott 8. This is an average of 6.25 and 7 respectively.
I think you will agree that the numbers are remarkably similar. Given then that Chilcott didn't miss a game and McCormick missed 4 (not 6 as suggested by bobbill), Chilcott is a clear winner.
Frank, it's hard to argue with this.

good use of facts, although if you looked at the final 8 rounds of the season after McCormick had returned from injury i think you'll find he kicked more goals than Chilcott.
Either player would be fantastic to have in your side as they are proven goalkickers.

hmm very interesting indeed, i wouldn't have guessed that at all.
I suppose the only point i've got left and it's a subjective one is McCormick is more a match winner than Chilcott, he can singlehandly win a game through his marking ability and goalkicking where i don't think Chilcott can do that.
I wouldn't imagine Chilcott would be on anyway near the money McCormick is and wants next year.

Don't quote me but apparently Chilcott was getting some big coin ($500+??). I believe he was travelling from Shepparton. No one goes from Shep to Pyramid Hill for peanuts. There is no doubt that Pyramid had the money. I have it from a fairly reliable source that Liam Wilkinson was on a $15K package to come up from Melbourne. Do the sums on that over 16 weeks!

shevvy ended up with more than 70 goals as well, was flying along until he busted his foot. Played alright in the grand final but obviously not the fittest bloke getting about.
THe other goalkicker we haven't spoken of is Kurt Ashman, a pure full forward stuck in a half forward flankers body. If he were McCormick's size he would be better than him i reckon.

Shev finished second with 72 for the home and away season.
He averaged 5.2 against sides in the top 5 and 5.8 against the bottom 4 sides. Not quite as well performed as Chilcott or McCormick but not far away.
He kicked 6 goals in 3 finals. Not very well performed I would suggest although he did kick 4 in the grand final.

Chilcott kicked 24 goals in the 2 games against Marong this year. There's every chance this number will be matched against YCW next season.

I was getting to Kurt. Averaged 1 goal less than Chilcott and McCormick against the top sides and about the same as them against the bottom sides.
Fantastic mark and kick and far more agile than a big full forward making him very difficult to match up on.

Other than a bag of 10 against Calivil, Haythorpe picked on the weaker sides. He averaged 2 goals less than Chilcott per game. That said, he is definitely a player who could tear a game apart and is a massive kick. It would have been interesting to see how he would have gone had he not missed the first 5 games of the season.

At a million to one i will put $1 on that Frankie. Not sure about the Gloury idea as his two twin daughters are heading to YCW to play next year,unless we are talking about a different Gloury,:D as are a few of the Newbridge senior netballers.
The Gloury girls are going nowhere. If i'm not mistaken, the girls mum has just joined the newbridge netball commitee for the 2008 season so I'd be more than surprised to see them go. The Gloury's live, eat and breathe newbridge. I would also be absolutely stunned if any more than 2 netballers went to YCW next year. I know a few that are on the move, but its not to YC.
Michelle Eastman and Jeanette Miller will be the downfall of the netball side of things. You say there was unity but they may have been off the court, all I ever heard from people that they hated the way Michelle coached.
I heard that all she does is get players running laps all the time and that there is no system at all about the way they play, and I saw this with my own eyes when watching the Grand Final.
From what I have heard Michelle does things for herself and no-one else and evern quoted her as saying as B grade doesnt matter and that A grade is all that counts. Great club philosophy.
Yes the A grade made the Grand Final and it is a defeatist attitude to say that Pyramid were unbeatable. But from what I was told they were lucky to get through the Semi and Preliminary.

Did you hear about the Newbridge netball trip, i was told by one of the players who was there that there were one half on one side of the room, and the other half on the other side. Bull dust about there being no division out there, asked one of their current A-graders and she says heaps not happy.
And while i am talking about Nuffy Newbridge Netballers, lol, whats with their C-grade coach, a male who knows nothing about netball. Heard he abused the YCW girls in the first round match, nice language, apparently YC took off all their young girls to protect them, cos he told his crew to head hunt.
YC put all the older, tougher players out there and told them to give back what you get, but twice as hard.
One Newbridge player told the old lady who coaches YC to shut the truck up, and called her opposing player a trucking zzzlut, obviously the coach had no idea and no leadership.
Actually caught the last quarter of that match and wish someone had of videod it, you footy boys could learn a bit of elbow prowess from both teams. A bit of jelly would have been great, Feral mania.
Also heard Newbridge coach was out coached in the finals, didnt have the smarts, took off the best goaler in the team, lossssser.

I think the "head hunting" talk would be taking it a bit far...I have played footy for the past 16 years and have never been told to go the biff by a coach. As if it would happen in netball. I think you are trying to spice up a pretty dull game to be honest! (I'm bracing for the response...:()

Im the same. Footy for 17 years but I have been told to go the biff once but it was in pretty extreme circumstances. As for it happening in netball...its a bit far fetched. And I'll think you find if you watched it from a neutral perspective that YC throw a few cheap shots of their own.

Ahh Netball. I have been involved in football & netball for over 20 years. Everyclub has bitching when it comes to netball and football is going down this track as the youth of today (footballers) act like netballers at times as well.
To try and get 30 + women at a netball club to all go in the one direction and not a have a group break away from the pack and not stick the knives in is impossible.
If you think it doesn't happen at all netball clubs you are dreaming.

So youngcitychick ... I see that things must've gone quiet at work?? It's the only time you ever write bull sh*t comments to stir things up and create some excitement in your life.
First of all, the reality of coaching senior sport is this: you're trying to win as many games as possible. How do you keep 35 girls vying for 21 positions happy? it is impossible, especially when they are women. There is no way you can comment on anything to do with her training or her methods of coacing this year, you simply weren't there and even if you are hearing it from others, its second hand and they are abviously the ones that didn't quite make the cut.
Yes, Michelle and Jeanette's coaching is very different to anything else I have experienced but if you had any idea about what they were trying to achieve, which you clearly don't, you would realise that Newbridge was one of the only senior netball sides that could run out 4 quarters with top notch skill level.
On the netball trip, there were 4 people vs the rest of the girls. Not half and half. we had 26/35 girls go on the trip, does that sound like a group of girls that don't get on?? The boys had 25 on their trip out of many more blokes and no one is sledging them for being divided. Stop trying to cause conflict by saying inaccurate and 2nd hand bodgy info. Get it right!
I can't speak on behalf of the c grade girls or their coach but you're obviously exaggerating, no coach tells their girls that, especailly to your young herd. But if there was any malice in what they were doing, it is innappropriate and unnacceptable and is not condoned out at the Bridge.
In all honesty, youngcitychick, I think you need to take a back seat for a change on the happenings out at newbridge. You have no idea what goes on in house, you are not a part of our club. To you, this is about sledging newbridge and not about finding out things to benefit your club, which it should be. All you do on big footy is abuse the system and you need to get your facts straight and stop trying to make our club out to be something it is not. We do not judge the perfect and magical land known as YCW so you should not judge ours in the harsh way that you do. You seem to have all the coaching knowledge under the sun, maybe you should take up a coaching role and voice your unwanted opinion then.
Find a new topic and stop obsessing over the trivial things, worry about your own backyard and the quality coaching at your joint. Now lets get back to the real topic.

Well Newcomer63,
good to see that you have fantastic reading skills, please go back and reread my original comments about Newbridge, page 98 i think. You have inaccurately stated that i have said something about Michelle and Jeanette. Not so, i am bagging out the moron who coached the C-grade. Although i only saw the last quarter, it was enough. Both sides by this stage were raising elbows, shoving each other, holding players by an arm, one girl from YC was an ex basketballer and she was thumping them back as hard as she got, Plimys girlfriend, for all you footy boys.
Will be interesting tonite to see who is voted in on the committee at YCW for next year. Paul Keating gone, Rod Burns gone, Moose gone, who is going to be running the show. I hate the fact, and i know it happens all the time in other clubs too, that the old committee appoint the coaches and the new committee have to deal with the problems. I think Matt Keats wil do a good job, D-Mac is a no loss as a coach, but is a huge loss as a player. I totally agree witht the boys before he is an awesome man to watch when he is fit and on fire. He seriously could have kicked an easy 100+ this year had he been fit. His two little kids look like they have inherited his build, lets hope they can play too. But it will never be back at YC, and thats a shame.
One other thing, did anyone hear about the man that was found dead at the old YC toilets 10 days or so ago. Theres been nothing in the paper, but i heard it on a friends scanner, asked the local priest who lives near there and he says yep it was true. Seems a sad thing.

From what I've heard, Billy Grant has has been fairly active on the recruiting front without a huge amount of success at the moment. That's nothing out of the ordinary for this time of year though. I know he has spoken to another Marong local about his movements next year. I had also heard second hand that Tim Wicks has been offered some big coin to go to North Bendigo
no not really, but bridgy has about as much chance as inglewood getting him!
apparently though matt tyrrell is playing cricket at bridgy. If that is not a sign for the footy club to get onto a potential recruit, i don't know what is!
