I was wondering if anyone from the Goulburn Valley could tell me what sort of players Jeremy Campbell and Tim Rassmussan were at Rochy. Were they dominant players?

I watched them play couple of weeks ago in the EFL and they both looked pretty handy, Rasmussan kicked 6 and Campbell won plenty of ball in the midfield. Easy to spot him with that bright red hair!

Both were exceptional players. Jezza was a very courageous, consistent and reliable on-baller who had a tremendous workrate, while Timmy was more of a superstar type player, potential matchwinner, awesome mark, very athletic, loved a goal..Timmy has always been hard to match up on because he has the marking capabilities of a 6' 3" or so player, but can match any smaller guy for speed, endurance, etc..I think Timmy's out this week with a hammy, and Jezza has been in solid form for Blackburn..

Have to agree there Mr Perry. They are both well above average. Blackburn has been struggling a bit at this stage I believe, but you know they are certainly not going to be underdone if Jez is running training. If I'm not mistaken one Tim Rasmussen was playing at Hawthorn (reserves, VFL call it what you will) for a year or so after Pioneers...

I can't speak highly enough of Campbell. Champion player, bloke, tough as the come. Wonderful fellow, great family, great captain. Gives you everything they've got.

Thanks for the input guys.

I also believe Chris McCarty had some role at Blackburn as well before he went overseas?

Good to see the GV boys mixing it up with the best in Melbourne.

g'day boys. this is a feelgood thread isn't it. i would like to say that both these players, campbell and rasmussum are two blokes you love to have around footy clubs. larrikins, good mates and gun footballers. rochester are a club that have been blessed with loyal, gun footballers. these two going back a few years were getting ridiculous offers to play footy all over australia but in the end decided that no place beats playing at home. campbell a jerry sienfeild look-a-like i imagine would be a very good communicator where as rasmussun's actions on the field do the talking. WEIDEMAN OUT!!!:cool:

Sensational players and were true leaders round the club. Would hope to see them in action at home again one day!

Isnt Tim looking to come back this way so he can play with Steve? I thought South Bendigo threw a bit of cash their way when Steve left Rochy but he decided to head to Rushy and Tim wanted to play a higher level.

Tim played with Rochy until 2002 and then had a year with West Preston (for a flag) and then played with Rochy again in 2004. He moved to Blackburn with another Rochy player Jeremy Campbell who was coaching. Tim lives and works in Melbourne and probably got sck of travelling back every week.

I think Steve got a very good offer from South but chose Rushy because of his family connection out there. He plays for free, but knowing him, he probably negiotated a couple of pies and a few beers as part of his package.

Just about my favourite Rochy player ever. Not sure what happened to him. I think he left in 1995 and played with Moama, but I'm probably wrong.

Best player and bloke outside of Rochy locals to play in the last 15 years David Putamorsi by a mile. Kicky was a gun as was sparkes, but the best saturday night on the lunatic soup with was Jamie Duursma. Great bloke and his brother Disco also very well respected.

although timmy and jez now are in the twighlight of their careers, they have a lot to offer any club, bush or city. They have the two things any footy club needs and that is passion and commitment. Jezz has a real ambition to keep coaching and may one day be on the look out for a post in the bush again, Timmy just wants to ignite the playing fire post his injuries, go the burners

He's a top fella.

He was o/s for awhile. I think he was in Ireland with his missus for ages. He's definitely bulked up, must of been on the Guinness for breakfast. Saw him at the last game of the GV when Rochy beat Echuca.

I guess you could try facebook? Everyone seems to be on their now.
