Well boys it would appear the Heidelberg 2008 Premiership campaign got underway in earnest today with the illustrious Heidelberg War Council departing HFC for a weekend sojourn to discuss issues, I imagine amongst other things, such as potential 2008 celebration venue(s) for U 19, Reserves and Seniors.
My advice to the rest of the best, try as you will, it’s not recommended to put new wine in old wine skins.

Was just wondering Boof, you say U/19s for next year? How are Heidelberg going to go about getting a side together and where will they be getting their players from? Because i know last year they tried to field a side but it didnt end up happening.
95% sure heidelberg will have 19's...there junior players will play in it with some other players i guess

Maybe its measured by how many blokes have improved in the time he was there.Bundoora have had alot of 19's etc that have come through and have now played in 1,2 or 3 Grand finals.That experience alone can only be good for the future.Who is coaching then.......

Interested in hearing what kind of numbers clubs have been getting on there footy Trips.
Bergers have 2 footy trips every year.One big one which is either interstate or overseas and one to the Manangatang cup which we go every year.
Just got back from Manang and we had 33 blokes.Great bonding weekend and funny enough Whitey (ex Bunnie) was the standout winner.Its just not money boys that win Flags but this S**t alone is the essence to having a top team.
Thursday another 35 blokes are going to Perth.Drinking ***** together is the secret to success........
Funniest story of the weekend is one guy who comes with us to Manang every year couldn't come this year because he decided to have a crack at investing in some horses.One of the horses had a fairly good result on the weekend it just happened to win the $1,000,000 Guineas. It just doesn't stop down at Tigerland!!!!!!!!

He has probably crossed the line more than once Cole but has been a very good player (B/F and premierships in two major metro leagues). From a personal perspective however (along with Luke Trew), he will remain an unfulfilled talent. Instead of talking about which local club he will play with we should have been celebrating his VFL/AFL career.

in five years he has taken a struggling divisiion 2 club to:
2003: Prelim final div 2
2004: prelim final div 2
2005: Div 2 premiership
2006: Staying up in first division
2007:Staying up in first division
think that means he may be able to coach, wouldn't you agree boss?

Don't talk to me about odds tin ar$e....
Just as the curtain was drawing on yet another successful Manang, Bruce turns to me at Dawsons around 9pm and says "Jeez I'm feeling really lucky, I think I'm gunna put me last $20 on the pokies, it might just pay for me trip". I give him a wink and said "go and make us rich". Not 5mins later he returs with this slip of paper saying he'd won the 2grand jackpot! Legendary! Thanks for the pot, thought it was big of you.
Yeah, Whitey in the Borat getup was some funny $hit. Will be hard to top but I'm sure someone will give it a go next year. Got me stuffed how you can have so much fun for only $120 down, must have something to do with how it's organised!

Appreciate the kind words, not often seen around these parts.
When you speak to Timmy next tell him he was one of the reasons why the trip was so seamless, best charter driver we've ever had up there. Tell him we'll contract him for the next 10 years if he's interested. Tell him he looked good in the bumble bee outfit, he fitted in that well you'd think he'd just won a flag. I know he's only in V/bank so tell him if he want's to come down next year I'm more than happy to put the pi$$ and fang on for him. Good scout the kid!

Not true, they've always let us drink no probs, it'd be a pretty boring 7hr slog if it was a dry affair. You wouldn't go if couldn't have a sip, simple as that. Record this year was No 6 Eddy Edwards washing back 21 cans on the way up, problem being that he could only managed about 6 cans on race day!
Nah, the other drivers have all tried to get into the spirit but have been the other side of 40yo and piked it a bit. Good to see Timmy playing bounce the coin 2hrs into the trip and sculling his lemonade.

Not really Alt's.. when it comes down to it - the bigger money signings have only been McGough and King - and on face value you'd have to hope they will be worth it. So just two new BIG names for now.
As for Effier - I stand corrected, but i don't think he has signed - would not be talking huge coin either - not like we need more smalls & or on-ballers... Woolly, Bomb, Sage, both McGough's, etc
IF there was a money tree id say it would be harvested for a CHF or CHB .... anyone know if the Nolan's are sick of playing in premierships? :)

Googled Mooroopna and found it to be up Liquormans’ way. I suspect he may be attempting a take-over or moving towards starting his own footy club. All I ask is that ya’s play on Sunday. That way we can all jump on the bus with Bobo99 and his mate after Saturday’s game, drink a little, eat a little, drink a little, watch the boys blitz em and do whatever else they do in Mooroopna.
If nothing else, Dale and Danny can be driven to and from with us and be fresh for work come Monday morning. The only surrounding issue is managing the week to week influences of the Liquorman.

It's a shame what the convenience of no training and big money does to some blokes. Just shows we weren't paying them as much as some people think.
Mooroopna is up in the GV region. As mentioned earlier spc, although more accuretly Admona. There has been a struggle up there for too many years to count, between the Shepperton teams, Mooroopna, Murch (which doesnt have much too offer) and Tatura. Tatura won the flag couple yrs back, with a lot of old DV boys up there. Tat is back on the map this year moving forward, have the rooms looking a treat, and money back in the kitty. So too Mooroopna. Although they have for a while. Unlike down here, money does not dry up, up there. The water may, but not the money. The footy clubs usually have access all yr round, and organise events through the summer. Especially the large cow milking events. They rake it in.
Its probably due time that the GV clubs follow the leads of Seymour, Euroa etc. O&M have tried for years, and usually succeed. No doubt as Liquorman has found out. Wasn't your pub that burnt down was it?
Anyway, as previous years have dictated, and the future years will continue, our neighbours up North will flash money at our best each year, and each year, many will succumb

Clubs in the O&M and GVFL have always had one significant advantage over Metro Melbourne clubs. That is that they are more or less geographically 'isolated' from one another. Granted they have 3 teams in Shepparton and one in Mooroopna; the area that covers these 4 sides would be home to ~15 sides in Metropolitan Melbourne. This means that in the country, while there are comparitavely fewer people there are also fewer 'mouths' to feed at the sponsorship table. This, together with a more-fierce public backing of their 'home' team (incl. higher gate takings, bar takings etc), generally gives these teams in powerful country leagues the financial ability to chase the best that Melbourne have to offer.
As far as Agribusiness tipping in large volumes of $ to sustain football clubs' player payments, I think you'll find many clubs have had to be a fair bit smarter in how they use these dollars. Unfortunately these $ flows, much like the water flows used to sustain the sponsoring farmers, are slowing down...

Mooroopna is up in the GV region. As mentioned earlier spc, although more accuretly Admona. There has been a struggle up there for too many years to count, between the Shepperton teams, Mooroopna, Murch (which doesnt have much too offer) and Tatura. Tatura won the flag couple yrs back, with a lot of old DV boys up there. Tat is back on the map this year moving forward, have the rooms looking a treat, and money back in the kitty. So too Mooroopna. Although they have for a while. Unlike down here, money does not dry up, up there. The water may, but not the money. The footy clubs usually have access all yr round, and organise events through the summer. Especially the large cow milking events. They rake it in.
Its probably due time that the GV clubs follow the leads of Seymour, Euroa etc. O&M have tried for years, and usually succeed. No doubt as Liquorman has found out. Wasn't your pub that burnt down was it?
Anyway, as previous years have dictated, and the future years will continue, our neighbours up North will flash money at our best each year, and each year, many will succumb
Yes looker it was my old pub that burnt mate, I knew I shouldn't have done the wiring of the place myself.... only joking, don't know what happened there.
These country clubs struggle just as much as the DV teams and are faced with all the same problems. What they usually do is pay big bucks for 3 or 4 recruits, and the rest are young locals on $50 - $100 a game. Sometimes a club will go all out, spend money they don't have, and buy a premiership, but usually ends badly for the club.

Have you stocked the pub up on girly drinks for this weekend?
Possibly a few netballers heading to the border tomorrow to create havoc whilst the gentlemen head to Caulfield Saturday to do likewise.

That is the heavy rumour at the moment and will follow up (River Rat, Boof any clues ??) however I am also checking with my O & M sources re interest from his old club Wangaratta coached by fellow clan member Jason Lappin.

It's not appropriate, from where I am in the food chain, to disclose certain information.

ps ... the words 'certain information' does not necessarily mean I know anything about the issue.

It is with great pleasure to announce the Big Footy.com Team footy trip. The team will be traveling to the Lick-Her-Man Luxury Resort this weekend. An extraordinary board of management meeting today decided on the destination in light of recent intelligence regarding the Netball.
Our ETA and ETD is strictly confidential, however, I can confirm that we’ve engaged the services of the Australian SAS and Federal Agents from ASIO as our personal security. It is anticipated this will circumvent any associated issues surrounding the Netball Team(s) and of course for any video highlights of the trip liaise with J&B to set-up with ASIO.
The team will be traveling via Lear Jet thanks to our sponsor Concord Park VIP Air Transport. Unfortunately, Bruce Almighty and Muttley will not be attending. It is believed they will be traveling to Malabu with a Mr Blue Yellow Eagle to attend respective clinics. The former to alcohol rehab not sure about Mr Eagle. Other MIA’s to name two are Sharky and Little Village.
Our special guests this year is the Eltham U19 Squad. The trip is not all fun as there is some business propositions required to be made before pre-season gets well under way. Of course they will be chaperoned at all times by The Kid and a strict curfew will be enforced by Looker. The Kid will also use the trip as a retreat from the stresses of Uni and undergo an anger management workshop.
Our tour Co-ordinators are Looker and One Trick Pony. I for one am delighted at the prospect of visiting the Shepperton , Mooroopna, Murch, Tatura, Seymour and Euroa clubs. I can’t wait to see the large cow milking events.
