Has anyone got any news about this league? Heard that Benella All Blacks are the side to beat under the guidance of super coach Peter Sheehan. A great coach who takes the game seriously and demands professionalism. Did hear that Dean Laidley was keen to have him as an assistant.:thumbsu:

[Macgyver]

Mick Wilson has taken the Tarra job, may be a playing coach as hes been training with the group. A few Rovers blokes are expected to make the move out and thus making them look alright and should be there in september, making a serious impact may be a different matter

Apparently Sheehan couldn't come to terms with North. LOL.
Whorouly/Moyhu will be the sides to beat again. The poor old Blacks will be trying to get off the bottom, though I did hear they have recruited a few more
quality footballers.

[slim18]

Apparently Greta may have lost a few which could hurt them a bit. Not sure if they have picked up any.

Bright will be the big movers this year with good young blokes and good o&m recruits kelly,nightingale and jones they will shake up the likes of moyhu and whourly.

Whats the go with milawa will they make any sort of an impact on the O&K this year? saw them play a couple of games last year and they look to have a few handy players just didnt look fit enough.

[Trotta]

Saw Miliwa play also, prob lacked a couple aggressive inside midfielders. Were competitive against quality opposition, didnt get flogged but lost quite a few games around the 4 goals and under. Maybe if a couple of the close ones went there way who knows, coulda been playing finals...

the Lions have to be favorites. Moyhu arent getting any younger (average age around 40), havent heard they've got any new blokes either. Whorouly have new O&M players and the extra motivation after losing the grandfinals. Reckon that's gonna be the driving force...

Slim, I am not in a position to recruit anyone. I heard he is a talented player by someone that rates him a little bit. I hadn't heard his name before, just doin some home work.

ABC local radio news today says the league will have enough grounds to get underway on april 14th

[slim18]

Wangaratta paper had 2 more signings for Whorouly from Myrtleford. Going to make them very hard to beat.

[Trotta]

Myrtleford have to clear 'em first! They arent there til the jumper's on.... Can only be good to have quality players coming to the league. heard at least 12-15 coming from a higher level which can only lift the standard. The other teams had better be ready

Buying quality players doesn't strengthen clubs. It only ruins them long term. Whats going to happen to all the guys at Whorouly who wont get a game now.
10 imports is a lot of places taken.

[moosha]

Agree with slim. While these days its almost impossible to be successful without poaching a few but having a "crack" and paying 10 mercenaries may bring short term glory but leave the club on its knees in years to come. When the money dries up or another club in the area decides that want to buy a flag, these blokes move on and those 10-15 players that were shafted in the first place are not so keen to pull on the boots for that club again.

[Trotta]

true. Having 10 in one team is a bit much and i'd say it would be naive to think they'd all play for the love. Bringing new blood to the team isnt a bad thing, just means current players have to work harder to keep their spot. a bit of competitiveness.

settled for whats is believed to be $200. signed with Myrtleford before blacks offer of $350 per game. he's missed out. reckon he'll be able to hold his own in the o&m. plenty of talent.

I remember as a kid one day at blacks, vt were giving the blacks a touch up. A youthful Abley was giving the Blacks curry. An angry W J Armstrong decided to take matters into his own hands and in what was the bravest or stupidist move of his slow career ran through his then cricketing team mate at the centre bounce. Abs didnt know what hit him and wally ran very quickly for the rest of the day. Always 10 metres in front of Abley.
