does anyone know wat the ruling about a club not bein able to field an under 17's side is? serp 17's don't look like there going to have a 17's side at all this yr, does this mean the club has to fold?

Unsure....however, Mount Pleasant were in a similar situation a few years ago, Mount Pleasant had the HDFL make it clear to them....that Under 17 side or else...not sure what the "or elses" was though.

With country communities becoming smaller.......some clever clubs...are focussing on recruiting kids....eg...Calival...Inglewood have been placing a lot of effort to attract Under 17 kids...I hope Inglewood get to see the results of their efforts in 2007.

The HDFL made Mounts and Elmore field an under 17s side, if they couldnt field one they would lose 4 points from the 1s

Can you just explain that a bit more nesko? 4 points as in 4 points on the ladder?? Jeez u would be wanting to scratch a team together.. Can the ladder go into negatives?

It depends which club your from to what happens. If it's YCW or Marong your threatened with the loss of points for the senior side. if your from any other club you are looked after (eg Serp playing with only 16 for the past 2 years).

So i would imagine Serp will be right.

[nesko_25]

yeah the 1s lose four premership points for every game the thirds cannot come up with a side. It was a great rule because if makes the whole club look after the juniors.

[jhirdy5]

i hope serp comes up with a team. in 2006 marong under 17s had too forfiet the first game only had four players. through hard work by the coach, players and general club people and plenty of advertising they ended up with enough by the end of the year and actually made finals that year, so everyone at serp please dont give up, the league needs you too be able too fill an unders team, it would be a shame for any team not too be able too fill all three footy sides every saturday.

[Vitalogy]

Anyone know anything on ycw? do they have enough to even fill reserves yet? Or any new recruits? hasnt been alot of talk of them.

Well to start off with some of the Newbridge players, Steve Simmons has been coach of the junior side for the past few years now, though unsure whether he will take it on again due to work commitments up north in Queensland. Jumping forward to Brad Comer, I'm sure we are all aware of his wherabouts at the moment, Assistant Coach at Newbridge and is working for Comer Transport in Shelbourne East I am led to believe. Cameron Grant has recently moved to Melbourne to start his work as a nurse at the Royal Melbourne Hospital. Cam, a key part of the Newbridge side last season, may/may not be back at Newbridge due to working commitments this season. Justin McEwan played two seasons of senior football at Newbridge after 2005, though is moving on this season to play for Kangaroo Flat.

[Hellboy]

Interesting to note that the only 3 teams to have no clearances in at this stage (YCW, Serp and Newbridge), are also the teams with the highest number of departures with 7, 6 and 5 respectively.

The runner from last year, Mick Purcell is taking over the job.

[BiG rIcK]

Not sure fitness was Daniel's main problem at miti last year.

No his problem at miti last year was that he chose work over footy and the miti sooks couldn't handle it, apparently mr wicks rang him to say the club would have him back once they think they can trust him. All i can say is good move willsy all the best at the hill but please do something about the hair:D

[blown budget]

i've been talking to willsy and the main reason for him leaving mitiamo is cos of that wanka wicks so i dont blame him for moving onto another club i dont know how other mitiamo players have put up with him for so long

Gerta, i would think Tim would be around 33 or 34.I came to H/cote in 81 his father was coaching and i coached the 2's. Tim i thought would have been about 6 at that time.But i could be wrong:thumbsu:

thats terrific too hear, we need all teams too comfortably be able too field 3 sides every week. id better not do a top 5, id be a bit biased being from marong but i will do the 5 sides who i think we'l find the hardest too beat are: calivil, pyramid hill, mitiamo, bridgewater and i'll go out on a limb and tip inglewood too also be big improvers maybe not top 5 but the presence of barnard along with some other new players should improve them.

How do you figure YCW will be in t he top 5, they havent recruited well, and seem to have gone with a young side, only positive thing i have heard about there recruiting is the handy pick up of two Eaglehawk boys. My thoughts are YC are having a rebuilding year, and that equals no finals footy for them. Cant see Serp finishing top of the ladder, they would fall over there ego as they did last year in the 2's granny.

ouch!!!! someone doesn't like the serp boys. YCW kids will kick on and The serp teddy bears will learn from ther EGO tripping last year no doubt....with wooma and nesbitt up forward there's no stopping them, add gerta when he gets over his soft heart and they will have the most potent forward line in the league by a mile:D

What are you trying to say about Wicksy, he has personality, some would say he has two or three personalities. One on each shoulder, ohhh sorry they would be chips.:D He's still a bloody good individual footballer, does anyone know if he has a lot of injuries over the years, he is in good nick, keeps himself trimm, not sure how when he leans of the stop/go sign all day.

Hellboy, How is Roger Ramjet going as president of the panthers?
A couple more question for you Hellboy, not sure how long you have been around Marong but did Paul Mc Connachie from YC ever play or coach out at the Panthers?
What ever happened to Stan the treasurer from about 15 years ago?
There used to be a player 'rocket' that played out there from Ararat i think, wheres he now?

Ramjet is already having a very positive impact in her role as El Presidente. I was playing when Conks was at the helm in 1992. Unfortunately we went through the season winless. Stan stills lives in Marong but has not had anything to do with the club for a long time now. 'Rocket' Rod Waddell is living in Bendigo; I catch up with him for a beer occasionally. He has lent a hand to Billy Grant up at Miti in recent years and still gets out to the footy on the odd occasion. Ted still stands on the hill drinking green cans. He is involved in our latest fund raising venture.

How are the panthers shaping up this year Hell Boy.

[Hellboy]

How are the panthers shaping up this year Hell Boy.

2008 looks like being a much better year Joe. The vibe around the place is pretty good. There's consistently 25-35 at training every night, Freddo has brought a varied and intense training regime with him. That said, there is still plenty of 'bonding' going on.

Recruiting has been solid and losses minimal. There are still a few new guys to put pen to paper that will certainly make a difference in the LVFL. Freddo has also had a word with your man Dug who I believe is weighing up his options.

What are the chances of seeing your good self back in the red, blue and gold Joe?

[Harries08]

Hellboy I heard a rumor that there is achance that you may be signing Hayes from Elmore is this just some drunk bloke talking crap or are yo a chance. Amazing pickup if he signs on. Hows Freddo going enjoying the role, and another question mate where is ned now is e still over W.A.?

[timebomb]

Lets have some reports on ground conditions, someone from every club, dont tell us how it looked when you drove past, tell us how it ACTUALLY is when you trained on it.
How is it underfoot, hard etc. How much grass cover you got? Lets get this thread pumping.

Hayes would be welcome addition, but unfortunately there is no truth to that rumour. I think Freddo would enjoy himself more if we can get 1 or 2 more top line players to put pen to paper. There may be another couple of additions this week. Ned is still in W.A. and I don't think has much intention of coming back any time soon.

Marong is typically pretty hard and dusty. The ground was aerated last week and will sprayed during the week. There is plenty of water available to all parts of the ground now. The grass coverage is ok for this time of year and with the weeds gone soon, should be in good shape come the start of the season. With the cricket club playing finals, the pitch can't be covered for at least another week but will be covered with turf not sand or seed. The goal squares are to be repaired meaning no more stones.

Was at the gym today and two blokes were talking about YCW, seems they have just started training there and both played with the
Borough last year. Handy pick ups??? But still going to have a young and inexperienced team.

Anyone from YC on here who can tell us who has stayed from last years seniour list, rather than who has left!!! Not many on here rating the Eagles, let us know if we are underestimating you guys.

Also will Jake Concol be playing back with the Eagles again, and how many dimsims has the kid eaten over summer, nuggety little fella.

Well I reckon I've still got my old jumper packed away somewhere but I'm heading OS in about 3 weeks so I probably wouldn't be much use to the team. An intriguing thought though.

Old Dig Dug would be handy to throw down in the back pocket but I think that Freddo would be better off talking to his missus as although Dug wears the pants, she tells him which ones to put on. Touché.

good to hear Hellboy, i hope a few more clubs take a look at what your doing with your goal square, i am sick of the f***** gravel rash us forwards get when we get pumelled by the big fat full backs.:cool:

That only happens to the lazy forwards who stand in the goal square waving their arms, waiting to cherry pick goals.

[Joe Czak]

you may hate the drive to pyramid hill, but our oval is in great condition, thats just from the rain, no water been pump on it yet, so by start season should be even softer.

It has always been green but it's so spongy it feels like you're running in sand. UI hate that surface.

Was at the gym today and two blokes were talking about YCW, seems they have just started training there and both played with the
Borough last year. Handy pick ups??? But still going to have a young and inexperienced team.

Anyone from YC on here who can tell us who has stayed from last years seniour list, rather than who has left!!! Not many on here rating the Eagles, let us know if we are underestimating you guys.

Also will Jake Concol be playing back with the Eagles again, and how many dimsims has the kid eaten over summer, nuggety little fella.
The two players from Eaglehawk you are talking about both struggled to get a game in the reserves last year , assuming they are the two i'm thinking of but given a chance could improve at YCW

I hear through the grapevine joe that you are keeping yourself in peek physical condition so on arrival from overseas you can suit up for a side ready to make a premiership assault, im sure marong would be interested in your rebound off defence as you were the former springboard setting up many attacks.
Dug Dalton would be putting his hand up for a wing as he is only required in the back pocket to combat the small power forwards such as gadsden, as he gave troy "chalky" Auld a bath in the bfl in that position, i believe auld is still having nightmares about that game

what is ycw's ground like at the moment i believe we are playing a practice match there at the end of the month??

[B-Boy]

Bridgewater played it's first match in the Maryborough Night Series last night. They won by a couple of goals.
Bridgey had about 10 senior players missing from the team.
Lucas Ruedin played well in his first game back from Sandhurst and Reece Poyner (Nullawil) was a big target across half forward.
Fairly scrappy game but Bridgey showed some good passages of play.

I heard Calivil is playing on Friday night...any other teams in the night series?

Marong are playing Nth Bendigo next Tuesday and Maryborough Rovers the following Tuesday.

Serp are also playing. Given the calibre of the other clubs, it's highly likely to be 2 LVFL clubs playing off. Marong played this series in '04 and '05, winning both years. I think there's a couple of thousand $ up for the winner so it's definitely worth having a crack at.

[Joe Czak]

There's no one like that at Marong Joe!

There used to be one playing two's back when I was there. Can't remeber his name. Ha!

who do you play for 'gotherosellas', whens this practice match on with YC, interesting to see how many kids they are playing.

Pyramid has gone quite on here, whats the ground like up there, who are you playing in practice matches.

Hellboy i hear alot of your netballers are moving on this year, a couple gone to another club in this league, Mop to Hillies, no one left from last years A grade team. Who is in charge of netball at the panthers these days, Ramjet would have to much on her plate to be coaching again surely??? Although my missus still says she was the best coach she has ever played under.

No, not training for footy Trent, I just enjoy looking my best. Tuesdays are arms and back - It's boring but its part of my life. I'll consider all options ($$$) upon my return. Maybe we could organise an Indian cricket league style auction with the winning club to secure my services for the remainder of the year.

My sources have indicated that you have embarked of a rigorous interval training regime, running 1km then walking 1km. Do you realise that with one repartition you have doubled the amount of ground you used to cover in two trainings and a game. (not including walking to the bar)

If Dalton had his way he'd be playing ruck because of his "great vertical leap" but I don't even thin Kevin Sheedy would make that move.

we r playing yc on the 29th march.i play for south yarra from southern division 3 in melbourne.looking forward to coming up for the saturday game then staying up there for plenty of beers and some team bonding.

I think I remember the bloke; big leap, good hands and kicked a heap of goals. Can't remember his name either. Used to go all right with the ladies too.

News travels fast I see. It has been suggested to me that I steer clear of too much comment on this. As often seems to be the case with netball, the bullshit and innuendo too often becomes gospel. I will say that the football netball club is focused on moving in a direction that might not necessarily have suited some people hence the departure of a few netballers. There is no coach at the moment but I believe one is to be appointed very soon.

There is no doubt the club will be in a much stronger position come seasons end regardless of any football or netball results or who may or may not be playing.

It's a good start. Throw in some tomato sandwhiches before the game and we'll talk.

Anyone around Borough will tell you that the money should be on the LVFL teams. Rovers (Calival & Marong) and Dunolly (Bridgewater & Serp) are the only 2 MCDFL teams to enter. Daylesford 2's and North Bendigo round it off. Rokewood from the Lexton Plains are filling in for Calival's second game as they couldn't make it. Maryborough Rovers aren't taking it too seriously with a few of their guys in cricket finals over the next 2 weekends.

looks like Tranter from inglewood will be playing with mitiamo in 2008 has been training with them for the last two weeks

Mitiamo would need to pick up some players after losing two of the Hay brothers to Wandella, one to be assistant coach. Ollie still deciding. Big loss of a fantastic local family, played there all there life i reckon. Wilson is pulling some talent up to Wandella. Word is miti are talking tall, that is there recruits are HUGE HUGE boys, hope they are all forwards and not back men. I hate getting crunched!!!!!:(

Nothing but a whinger that bloke. He got to Ingelwood through Billett then got on the committee and tried to bring in another coach. Got enough ability to be a handy played in the LV but high maintenance.

From what i hear Tranter would struggle to get a regular game in a good competitive side , which Inglewood is shaping up to be , so draw your own conclusions

Mitiamo will be more competitive than Inglewood so I doubt he is leaving because he feels his spot in the 1st's is in jeopardy.

what a shame ! looks like he cracked the shits after he didnt get the 2s coaching job . even if he had of got it no one would have played under him wasnt as well respected as he thought he was up there . he should fit in well at miti being a **** head and all .

I think if he puts in for a clearance he will have no trouble at all getting it , All Inglewoods recruits will be good players at senior LVFL level , hopefully the woods will win a few and get up the ladder in 08

so now both of newbridges practice matches are at newbridge. :thumbsu:

I see Marong have 3 teams in the BJFL this year and Calivil 1 team entered, great work from the country clubs, is this an initiative of the clubs or seperate organisation.

has anyone ever seen tranter handball when in an 80metre radius of goal the guy thinks his scott Lucas but kicks like Anthony Ingerson, would find it hard to see him be a regular in a finals LV side
