The lions by 22pts after being well down at 1/2 time with Saad kicking 7 and best player. They still appear to be the team at the moment. Euroa cetainly had their chances and can take some positives from the game

Game of two halves for sure - Euroa looked super in the first half, then the Lions got on their bikes and started to move the ball quicker and more direct to earn themselves a good win. Euroa recruits Bonson and Roberts look really lively, Ruane did well (if he was #19), as did Shane Clayton - thought Schotty was very important fro Seymour, Scanlon and Stevenson's 2nd halves first class and I dont think Ive ever seen Brendan Liddell put in a bad game.

Size of the crowd I thought was sensational, far bigger than the final SFNC hosted last year, which in turn provided an amazing atmosphere. Brilliant concept by the two clubs and Im sure next year will be bigger again :thumbsu:

What is a standard crowd at Tat these days?? Surely it must be all away supporters as no man with even half a brain would waste a saturday watching Tat!

The reports circulating tell me the day was a massive hit. Big gate taking which didn't include any veterans and possibly some under 18 supporters as they gate opened up after half time of the seniors.

I just hope that Seymour and Euroa can make it an annual thing and are the only ones who play on Anzac day in the GV. (like essendon v collingwood) Its likely the Sheppartons and Uniteds of this world will spit the dummy and try and steel the concept.

imo Rod Van Reit was the lions best and without him could have been out of the game bye halfe time, once again imo the lions played as bad as i have seen them play in 3 years, the Benalla game was not great either, so they are winning and not playing all that well, good signs or not ?

Went and had a look at the Rochy / Shepp game today. The game was pretty average with the skills ordinary early. Rochy got out to a lead and were never really headed.

Deuscher was best on followed by Bowen and Watson for Rochy while I thought Allan and Chapman were the best for Shepp. Rochy ended up winning by 14 goals, but they over used the footy at times and should have probably kicked 30 goals rather than 23...

First GV game I have seen this year and Rochy's style has changed quiet a lot under Schmidt's coaching. Lot more free running and prepared to take a lot of risks. When the skills were on for Rochy, they moved the ball really well and looked very impressive.

Shepp look like they are going to have a long year...

didn't see this game looks like a good effort from Ky may have been a little unlucky: maybe some good results not to far away

[You Know It]

Any news on games around the league. Heard Paul Newman may have been injured? How bad is it if that is the case?

Can't believe Ky got within 7 points, heard they hit the front in the last quarter after being down by 7 goals at one stage, newy is apparently ok, just a little sore, anyone on here see the game and can give me a little bit of an insight into who played well etc?

[Doona2]

imo Rod Van Reit was the lions best and without him could have been out of the game bye halfe time, once again imo the lions played as bad as i have seen them play in 3 years, the Benalla game was not great either, so they are winning and not playing all that well, good signs or not ?

Very good signs phanto, at a guess 5-6 missed obviously Joffa, Kingy and the O'Keefe boys watched on, as did Spargo so bit to come in plus there was one more whom I cant think of at present - agree on Rocket was in the Lions better 4 quarter contributors :thumbsu:

[qwertyuiop123456]

Ky played really well hitting the front by 13 points at one stage after being down by 40 odd points. Not a bad effort considering Butler and Deledio wern't out there. Balraj is still getting used to Dirty's style of play, Newwy killed it. Withers showed some promising signs for the future. Ky are definately looking up and will give all teams a good battle throughout the year. Could sneak into the finals if some close ones go their way. :thumbsu:

They made the grand Final last year, surely they are doing something right and we're beaten by a few goals by Seymour which is no disgrace. This year they are slow out of the blocks but I'm sure they will hit form in the second half of the year when they get back some quality players. I'm sure they will take the win over Ky too, who will be the real improvers this season. I wouldn't right them off yet.

[Tatsean]

Got Seymour next week so will give an update after this game on if they are the best team yet again going around. Didn't watch us play Euroa, (had my sisters wedding to go to) but Mooroopna is a better drilled and quicker team than the Swans. Swans are a bigger physical team though and will play finals. Those of you who don't think so, what are the 6 teams that will keep them out?

Early Prediction Ladder: Mooroopna, Seymour, Euroa, Swans, Mansfield, Rochester, Kyabram, Benalla, Echuca, United, Tatura, Bears. :D:D

cheers mate, great to hear, wish i was out there with the boys as it sounds like they will get a few wins on the board this year. i'll just have to settle with playing for the wandsworth demons over here in london.

i believe any side that can get that close to a quality side like the swans is a seious contender for finals, so all the best to the ky boys coz it has been a lean few years!!

Article in the Shepp News today about Tank McPhee missing this week with injury. Pushes his 400th game back from an away game against Mooroopna in round 7 to a game against his former coach at home with Ky in round 8.

If he gets up for this week of course.

[FOOTYBOSS]

Challenge answered
Simon Cameron
A 14-goals-to-eight second half helped Seymour maintain its unbeaten start to the Goulburn Valley Football League season in its Anzac Day clash against Euroa.
But it took a late burst from explosive forward Saad Saad to ensure the Lions took the points against a spirited Magpies outfit at Kings Park, 20.17 (137) to 18.7 (115).
The Magpies led by 20 points at half-time and extended it to 26 points two minutes into the third when Rohan Bonson slotted through a major after earning a free kick from a strong tackle.
But after that the Lions found their groove.
They piled on five unanswered goals in a seven-minute burst and ended the third period ahead by 14 points.
And three last-quarter goals from Saad, including one after a crowd-pleasing screamer, ensured Seymour held on for a hard-fought win after the Magpies twice cut the lead to only 10 points.
Lions coach Bernie Haberman was disappointed with his side's execution in the first half, believing it gave up too many easy turnovers that led to scoring opportunities for Euroa.
Haberman asked for accountable footy from his players at half-time, and it worked.
``That's the style of footy we want to play. If we play accountable footy we reckon we'll be hard to beat,'' Haberman said.
He said the three-time defending premier still had room for improvement, having suffered lapses in all three matches so far this season.
``It was the second quarter for the first two weeks and the first and second quarters this week,'' he said.
``In terms of setting standards we expect of our players, there is room for improvement.
``Having said that, there has to be rewards and encouragement for winning, and I thought we responded well today.''
Euroa coach David Putamorsi lamented his team's inability to change the tempo of the match when threatened in the third quarter.
``We just have to learn how to play better tempo footy against good sides,'' he said,
Saad finished the day with seven goals after starting the match on the bench, while Luke Stevenson added five and Paul Scanlon three.
Relton Roberts and Scott Grainger both kicked four for Euroa, while Craig Bamford snared three.


Milestone must wait
Rochester legend Anthony ``Tank'' McPhee's 400th game has been pushed back by at least one week after he missed the Tigers' win against Shepparton with a groin strain.
McPhee started the Goulburn Valley Football League season on 393 games and would have raised the 400-game milestone in round seven away to Mooroopna if fit and in form.
But missing Saturday's match pushes the mark back one week to the Tigers' home game against Kyabram.
McPhee was one of three Rochester players who finished the Tigers' round two defeat to Seymour injured on the bench after leaving the field early in the match.
But Rochester's forward line did not suffer from his absence as it romped to an 84-point win against Shepparton at Deakin Reserve on Saturday.
Speaking before the match, McPhee said he was just keen to get to the milestone and shift the focus onto the performances of his club.
As the first player touted to reach 400 Goulburn Valley Football League senior games, McPhee has been in the spotlight while Rochester has gone about compiling two wins and one loss to start the season.
``I'm a little bit sick of everyone talking about it,'' McPhee said.
``It'll be good to get it out of the road.
``The boys are playing good footy and how the team performs is what matters most.''
McPhee described his injury as minor and said no risks would be taken as he tried to return for Rochester's match at home to Mansfield next week.
While it is unlikely McPhee will face competition for his spot in the team, the Rochester forward line fired on all cylinders yesterday with back-from-suspension Elliott Bowen kicking four along with seven other multiple goal-kickers.


Echuca relieved to get first win
Teo Pellizzeri
After two straight losses, an ugly win was a good one for Echuca as it held off Shepparton United to triumph by 18 points in Goulburn Valley Football League at Victoria Park on Saturday.
The Murray Bombers' first win of the season draws them level with Shepparton United on one win and two losses, with the Demons holding eighth spot on percentage from their weekend conqueror.
Echuca captain Colin Durie said it was more relief than celebration after the hard-fought 10.12 (72) to 8.6 (54) win.
United trailed by 20 points at three-quarter-time but kicked to within four points in the final term before two steadying goals for Casey Nance gave Echuca a match-winning lead.
Nance finished top of the goal-kickers for Echuca with three, while Matt Forys led all scorers with four for United.
``It was a scrappy game all day,'' Durie said.
``But we got hands on the ball around the contests when it mattered.''
United midfielders Ryan Normington and Joey Perkovic were the better players for the Demons, Durie saying there was constant pressure through the centre of the park.
But Guy Campbell was Echuca's standout in the ruck and put the ball in its players' hands enough times around the stoppages.
``Guy was the standout, whether it was in the ruck or pushing up to centre half-forward,'' Durie said.
``Casey's goals in the last quarter were vital when he kicked them.
``He's a young bloke with a lot of talent and he plays the half-forward flank to a tee.''
Durie said it was time for Echuca to consolidate on the win with a good performance away to Benalla next week.
``The games don't get any easier from here,'' he said.


Nimble Tigers leave Bears in wake
Teo Pellizzeri
Rochester's quick ball movement cut a swathe through an inaccurate Shepparton as the Tigers ran away to win by 84 points in Goulburn Valley Football League on Saturday.
A near shut-out in the last quarter saw the Tigers ease to a 23.15 (153) to 9.15 (69) win as Shepparton added just a solitary point, from a kick after the siren.
The win gives Rochester a two wins and one loss start to the season, while Shepparton falls behind the ledger at one win and two losses.
Shepparton coach Richard Warburton had called for accurate kicking on goal from his side before the match, but got the opposite as it kicked 1.7 in the first quarter to squander the wind advantage at the Skene St end of Deakin Reserve.
Rochester, a 13-point leader at quarter-time, capitalised on a gust which saw a host of shots from outside the 50m line make the distance with ease in a nine-goal-to-three second term.
Shepparton rallied with the wind advantage in the third quarter to move within 36 points at the final change.
But a dominant aerial display from Rochester's Brad Collins across the half-back line kept the Bears goalless in the final term.
Livewire forward Dylan Cuttriss roved to Rochester centre half-forward Elliott Bowen to great effect as both finished with four goals for the match.
Ash Watson dominated through the centre in the first half, while Ben Deuscher and Clint Whitsed gave the Tigers too many avenues to goal for Shepparton to man-up.
Bears captain Nick Allan flew the flag as the top ball-winner for his side, while Daniel McIntyre and Simon Thorsen showed occasional brilliance.
Free men and quick ball movement out of the backline were Rochester's signature plays and coach Daniel Schmidt said the side had stuck to the game style he was after.
``We moved the ball on our terms today and owned the corridor,'' Schmidt said.
``After finishing with no bench last week it was pleasing to get through with no injuries.''


Cats cap off Vandermeer's 300th
Ashleigh Williamson
Mooroopna has honoured club legend Jeff Vandermeer's 300th senior game in style with a resounding 135-point win against bottom-of-the-table Tatura.
Vandermeer hurt his right knee in round one last year and doctors advised him to give the game away, but he was determined to continue and came back to play the final eight matches of last season.
The injury had restricted him heavily in the off-season with the amount of training and match practice he had, but he proved his fitness and took to the field for the milestone game.
Vandermeer started the match in a back pocket and played the first quarter before having a spell in the second.
He returned after half-time and Mooroopna coach Brad Campbell stationed the veteran in the forward line in the closing stages of the game, with him slotting a goal to cap off the 26.17 (173) to 5.8 (38) victory.
``It was a bit emotional and I was a bit nervous before the game because I didn't know what to expect, because it was my first game for the year,'' Vandermeer said.
``A DVD clip was played in the rooms before the game which I didn't know anything about, and when I ran out the two sides lined up where we run out onto the ground with a banner, but I couldn't even remember what was written on it.''
Mooroopna was somewhat restricted by a tenacious Bulldogs side in the first half, but after the main interval it was all one-way traffic as the Cats piled on 18 goals to three.
Skipper Rob Osborne led the way with five, while youngster Simon Russell and Heidelberg recruit Craig Whelan bagged four apiece.
Kane Boyer and Ashley Hockey were damaging with the run out of defence, Russell Lee found plenty of the ball in the centre, and Jake Cowman gave his on-ballers first use out of the centre and covered the ground well.
Billy Lovel, Jacob Chessells and Joe Kelly tried hard for Tatura.
Vandermeer is not conceding retirement at this stage and is keen to do his best to try to play out the season.
``It's all about recovery now, I do a lot of swimming and bike riding early in the week to try and keep off it, and I'll try and train later in the week,'' he said.


Eagles rise to occasion, and state intentions
Ashleigh Williamson
Mansfield has ground out its third successive tough victory with a four-goal-to-two last quarter good enough for the Eagles to down Benalla by 13 points at Mansfield Recreation Reserve.
Christian Thomson's side joins Mooroopna and Seymour as the only ones yet to taste defeat in Goulburn Valley Football League this season, but he is under no illusions as to where his side sits in terms of being a premiership contender.
``We're not keeping any secrets from anyone, we know we don't have the best list in the competition but we want to make finals, make no bones about it,'' Thomson said.
``We've had a couple of tussles so far this year and we haven't played as well as I think we can, but we're finding a win which is all we want at the end of the day.''
Ricky Symes was a surprise inclusion for the Saints after injuring his groin the previous week against Shepparton, taking his customary position up forward opposed to Ben Trenfield.
The match was neck and neck all afternoon with Mansfield up by a point going into the final quarter.
It was a case of deja vu for Benalla as it was overrun in the last stanza for a consecutive week with the Eagles emerging victorious, 12.11 (83) to 10.10 (70).
Ross Hopkins kicked three goals to be the leading forward on the ground and bobbed up across half-back and in the middle in a best afield display.
Young Murray Bushranger Brett Mahoney will gain a lot of experience out of running with former AFL midfielder Michael Stevens, while Bernie Jones was dominant in the ruck and Craig Flint was reliable at centre half-back.
Brothers Rowan and Farran Priest were welcome inclusions into the Benalla side, injecting a lot of leg speed into the midfield, but they couldn't sway the result their side's way.
``We had some really good patches and, not to take anything away from Benalla, we always felt in control of the game,'' Thomson said.
``Benalla had beaten us the last three times we've played at Mansfield, so we're happy to be 3-0 at this stage.''


Swans scrape home
Gus Underwood
Kyabram heralded its arrival as a serious football side by fully stretching Shepparton Swans in a high-scoring shoot-out at Princess Park on Saturday.
The relieved Swans got home by just seven points in a game that produced more than 40 goals and some enthralling offensive football from both sides.
In the finish it was the bigger-bodied Swans led by Josh Wilson, veteran Jarrod Sutherland, star forward Glen Dundovic, Matt McCarty and impressive Northern Territory recruits Jarrod Ilett, Iggy Vallejo and Henry Labastida who proved the difference in the entertaining clash.
But the gallant Kyabram side never took a backward step during the game.
Early in the second quarter the Swans appeared to be taking full control, and with Dundovic slotting through four of five unanswered Swans goals, McCarty covering a heap of ground from a wing, and Jarrod and Hayden Best doing a lot of telling work, the home side slipped away to a six-goal lead and looked headed for a runaway win.
But the irrepressible Chris Atkins, impressive recruit Linc Withers, skipper Josh Vick, key forward Paul Newman, David Newman, young talent Brad Edwards and Ryan Edwards led a gallant Kyabram revival that resulted in the Bombers hitting the front by seven points early in the last term.
However, three late goals from big Josh Wilson and one from the destructive Matt McCarty sealed Kyabram's fate.
Defender Lochlan Veal was restricted big Kyabram spearhead Balraj Singh to two goals for the game in what was a major contribution to the Swans' cause.
Despite a seven-goal haul from Dundovic, Bomber skipper Josh Vick was again an inspiring player, with his rebounding play often setting up Kyabram goals.
The Bombers certainly looked to get the most favours from the umpires during the game, particularly at the start of the last quarter, but they squandered a lot of shots on goal with star aerialist Paul Newman a major culprit.
He finished with five majors but missed several shots he would have normally kicked.
Steve Thomson again performed an admirable tagging role for the Bombers on Swans danger-man Lucas White.
There were plenty of good signs from both sides, but to be so competitive against a team of the Swans' standing will give the young Kyabram side a confidence boost.

[FOOTYBOSS]

Game of two halves for sure - Euroa looked super in the first half, then the Lions got on their bikes and started to move the ball quicker and more direct to earn themselves a good win. Euroa recruits Bonson and Roberts look really lively, Ruane did well (if he was #19), as did Shane Clayton - thought Schotty was very important fro Seymour, Scanlon and Stevenson's 2nd halves first class and I dont think Ive ever seen Brendan Liddell put in a bad game.

Size of the crowd I thought was sensational, far bigger than the final SFNC hosted last year, which in turn provided an amazing atmosphere. Brilliant concept by the two clubs and Im sure next year will be bigger again :thumbsu:

Bonson and ROberts were unbelievable to watch. Bonson was pretty quiet after half time, but his first half was really good. As for Roberts, I thought he was Euroa best and almost help them pinch the game towards the end. The pace on him was something I have never seen before, other then AFL. The space he put on Hooper and Scanlon in a matter of moments was great to watch. They were worth the $8 gate entry to watch. I still cant work out why Grainger was paid the mark in the final quarter. Ruane was very good for the magpies, yep that was 19 Doona.

Stevenson, Saad and Scanlon basically won the game for the lions who will go very close for 4 in a row, while Euora will play finals.

A great crowd as well. On elast thing is is still puzzles me as to why they didnt switch to a yellow footy after half time. Especially in that last qtr when it was near impossible to see the footy.

[Alley cat]

Hey Boss, was that Euroa team at full strength or do they have other players to come in? Yeah watching that last quarter with the red ball was a bit of a mystery at times.

[Johnny Tapp]

Heard Tank might be out two weeks over the weekend MBP, so hopefully not as bad as first thought.

We ended up getting the job done on Tatura on the weekend. The two young guys who are in the mix with the Bushrangers showed a bit of promise and it is not all doom and gloom in the kennel.

Interested to hear about the Shepp Snipers (you know the Sparkies) versus Kyabram game. Did the Snipers choke again like they did against us the week prior, or are Kyabram going to be there abouts at the business end of the season.

Would like to hear from anyone who was at the game as to who played well for both sides. Good to see that Lucas White got reported. :D About time, has got away with this type of thing for too long. :mad: I could just about bet that the guy that White hit would have been facing the other way. And I would go the double or nothing bet that he hit a young bloke. Good to see the umpires doing their jobs.

Swans are pretenders and we showed them a fortnight ago. Sure they recruit guys with big reputations and impressive resumes. However the guys who we picked up and have slotted in like chameleons around the club and we all want to play for each other. :thumbsu::thumbsu::thumbsu: At the moment it is a two horse race between Seymour and us. Daylight for third after the Sparkies performance on the weekend.

Also heard what Jason Dun-dovic, Josh Vick that is – he kicked seven and by the Shepp News he must have played well.

Interested to hear about the Shepp Snipers (you know the Sparkies) versus Kyabram game. Did the Snipers choke again like they did against us the week prior, or are Kyabram going to be there abouts at the business end of the season.

Would like to hear from anyone who was at the game as to who played well for both sides. Good to see that Lucas White got reported. :D About time, has got away with this type of thing for too long. :mad: I could just about bet that the guy that White hit would have been facing the other way. And I would go the double or nothing bet that he hit a young bloke. Good to see the umpires doing their jobs.

Swans are pretenders and we showed them a fortnight ago. Sure they recruit guys with big reputations and impressive resumes. However the guys who we picked up and have slotted in like chameleons around the club and we all want to play for each other. :thumbsu::thumbsu::thumbsu: At the moment it is a two horse race between Seymour and us. Daylight for third after the Sparkies performance on the weekend.

Also heard what Jason Dun-dovic, Josh Vick that is – he kicked seven and by the Shepp News he must have played well.
Yeah disagree with everything you just posted, exept the fact that they is 2 or 3 players in the swans side that are dogs, behind the incidents, a few blokes wernt happy about a few things on the weekend. Apart from that your a knob mate

Cannot believe this dribble. White is a sensational player and your insinuation that he has been sniping for years is totally fabricated in you fantasy. He is cosistently leading from the front and puts his body on the line each week. Would be one of the top 15 players going around at the moment. Not debating that he got reported and may have been involved in an altercation, but to suggest that he hit a player from behind is low. Espicially as it appears that you were not even at the game. Pull your head in mate.

[juddy wce]

How can Josh Vick get best on for Kyabram when his opponent kicked 7 goals and the opposition team kicked a toal of 22 goals. Anyone see how he played who has any insight.

Because he probably stopped and rebounded about 20 forward attacks from the Swans. About 4 of Dundovics goals were from lace out passes which no full back could have stopped. It does sound weird but he was easily in Ky's best 3 or 4.

[juddy wce]

Fair enough.

[FOOTYBOSS]

Hey Boss, was that Euroa team at full strength or do they have other players to come in? Yeah watching that last quarter with the red ball was a bit of a mystery at times.

Not to sure there Alley. Im pretty sure they were close to full strength, with no injuries around the club. Just guys playing 2nds due to form lapses and also Brad Cunningham and Ash Hobbs who both played in the u/18 game. They will be definately picked in Euroa's best 22.

Must be some sort of player if he can influence the game so much from full back with seven goals against his name. How many goals would a mortal have had kicked on them?? In a close game how does the team let the ball come in so easy but then clear it so well 10 seconds later??

How can the swans be a over rated side? isnt the definition of a over rated side a team that is say predicted to play finals then doesnt? eg) essendon,fremantle this year in the afl....swans made a grand final last year and are 2-1 this year so im not understanding the over rated part..especially with warburton,hare,montgomery,may,ryan all to come back into the side

And how do you know it came in so easily. Blokes can hit targets under pressure at this level. If you weren't there than don't comment. Anybody who watched the game would have clearly seen that they both played well.
Ramaden Yze was named 2nd best for Swans and he was taggin Atkins from Ky who was clearly one of the better players on the ground. Work that one out.

You told me it came in so easy. His opponent kicked 7 goals, he saved the day 20 times and the swans had 23 more scoring opportunities. I would also go out on a limb and say that some other players would have taken marks in defence or stopped the attacking swans. At my count from what you say and my educated guess that would make about 65 times the ball came into the Swans fifty. Thats how I know it came in so easy, so unless you are going to change what your saying I would think that I was right.
Interesting that you say Yze was tagging Atkins. They wernt just playing on each other were they?
Im only questioning what you have to post. If Im wrong its only because of the crap you are posting!!
Hey MJ42 Ive seen football at this level and I dont think blokes are that good at hitting targets under pressure, unless pressure is kicking from behind a mark or loose on a wing. Skills in the GV are good as a whole, but hitting targets under pressure in the GV is not a common occurance.

Where did I say it came in easy in any of my posts d1ckhead. I said "lace out". That means the passes were pin poin not it was coming in easy. It was a free flowing game no doubt about that. So the forwards had plenty of oppurtunities.
Who really gives a shit anyway, I simply answered a question as to why Vick got in the best, get over it. Get your facts strait about what I posted before you waste time in responding.
And when an onballer follows another one around all day even when the ball is not in the area and when he changes positions I would call that a tag. But hey you are the expert.

That was four of the 65 times. You can tell the truth, it came in easy for them didnt it?

It might be just me but I cant see how a full back can be your best player in a close game when the full foward kicks 7. Think he may have tried hard and did well but best player, not!!

[ECHUCABOY]

Hehe pretty funny. That Mooroopna bloke needs to realise that there are 20 odd games in a season and finals. They wouldn't even know what a final is that lot. As much as i dislike Shepparton sides, he makes me want to hate the cats more.....that means it was a pretty terrible post by someone who has his head up his arse

[MJ42]

And that is why footy is such a great game. Everybody views it differently and forms their own opinion. Clearly the Bomber hierachy felt that he deserved it. And they are probably watching the game closer than anyone.
Clearly not that big a deal though.

Lace out implies that Silvagni himself would have struggled to stop them. Pinpoint passing is not uncommon in the GV, and there are quite a few players from different clubs that can do it. If the footy is down that end, and he is rebounding it, then he is obviously in the play and likely to catch the eye of those doing the votes.

Josh Vick is a good full back don’t get me wrong, however the proof is in the pudding that Dundovic kicked 7. Instead of rebounding countless times he should have been relying on his team-mates such as the flanks and pockets to rebound, as he had the job on their key forward and one of the leagues best. Cant help to think what might have happened if Dundovic had of kicked 3 or 4…

As stated before opinion but if a FF gets 3 hand passes over the top and kicks 2 off the ground on the goal line and then gets 4 perfect passes and ends up kicking 9 whilst the FP kicks 4 from going and getting the ball on the wing kicking to a link and running hard to make space for a shot and had 5 tackles and chases who would be the better player?I would back the FP as he was doing all the team things but the FF still kicked 9. I reckon the end result of the goal kicker is sometimes missed by the hard work done to get the end result. Yes you have to kick them and finish it off but by not kicking goals is the contribution less by getting the ball to the goal kicker?

In response to the point about Vick being in the best players why cant this be the case? Midfielders of opposing teams match up on each other every week and get in their teams best players all the time. No real difference except positions played.

I think people use examples (especially when responding to you) as we think you find it hard to comprehend normal responses. Why is it so hard to believe a backman could get the best player?

Obviously Ky were happy with the job Vick did.

Swans 50pts
Kyabram 25pts

There was a full back down the other end that actually did his job and only kept big Balraj to 2. I think thats what you call a backman doing his job!

I saw the game and when your man kicks 7, especially at full back you haven't done your job.

As for Yze, he was the highest possession getter on the field. Maybe atkins should have been tagging him as he had 10 more touches than him!

Thoughts?

Thanks for the Seymour prediction. That will be our closest margin for the year if it is 120pts! Lets hope our boys can play like they did in the first half against Mooroopna and keep it to double figures, not triple! Or maybe an upset win like at Mansfield last year...How great would that be!!!

If you could pick two players from each Goulburn Valley club who would you pick? This is like a GV dream team. Remember you cannot be wrong because it is your opinion. For example: Seymour – Scanlon & Saad

This is the players you rate the highest from each club, you don’t have to pick players into specific positions.

Benalla:
Echuca:

Kyabram:
Mansfield:

I am a bit lost on this comment as I read other comments from other posters that refer to goal kicking,high possesions and shutting down players. How do you pick your best players?

If Rochy want to make the finals, then they need to win this game. At the end of the season, these two could be fighting for the same spot in the finals. Rochy have the home ground advantage, which could prove to be the difference. I'm not sure who Mansfield are missing, but McPhee and Rasmussen are missing for Rochy.

No probs cellar I am under no illusions of where we are at and I accept most points of view on big footy. But even you could maybe name the best 2 players for Tat? My point I was trying to make is that nobody remembers who finished 2nd-12th after a few years, only premierships count. So in the last 15 years Tatura, Echuca, Shepparton and Seymour have won 3 flags, Kyabram, Mansfield and Rochester have won 1 flag. So if he follows one of these teams then fine have a go and I will take it on the chin, but if he barracks for the Swans, who haven't won a flag since 1970, Benalla 1973(O&M), Mooroopna 1986, United 1989 , Euroa 1990, or Tongala who relegated themselves to the Murray League, then to put it politely, look at your own backyard first!:eek:

No one likes to see club's go thru this - but from a far far outsider with no inside knowledge my question is could a lot of this been avoided had Mr. Ryan been given the green light to coach on in 2007???

thats a distinct possibility Doona, but the people who make these decisions still hold power without any reprocussions: they hire and fire coaches with little improvement control club finances etc;maybe the wrong people are being moved on?

Rochester 15.20.110 defeated Mansfield 12.14.86
I wont be giving you much credit for beating them at Rochester Brad. The only reasonable side you have beaten so far but they do have to travel quite a way. Lets just see how well you go in the next few weeks, Echuca, Swans and Mooroopna. Im guessing you wont be going too well!!

Jansz leads the way as Bears run out of puff
Ashleigh Williamson
A dozen goals from Mark Jansz has helped Euroa square the ledger at two wins and two losses for the Goulburn Valley Football League season with victory against Shepparton.
Jansz was shifted from half-forward to the goalsquare after Scott Grainger left the game in the second quarter with a groin complaint and did not return for the rest of the afternoon.
The first half of football resembled that of Euroa-Shepparton clashes at Memorial Oval in years gone by, with 12 goals kicked between the sides before a behind was scored.
The first term was entertaining as both sides produced fast-flowing football, with Euroa kicking 7.2 to 6.1.
Euroa extended the margin to 16 points by the half, but it could have been more as it kicked 5.4 to 4.1 to leave the Bears in the hunt.
Jansz single-handedly blew the game apart with seven of the Magpies' nine third-quarter goals, his quick leads, exceptional hands and straight kicking too hard for the Bears to stop.
Murray Bushranger Klay Giovannini kicked two last-quarter majors as Euroa finished off a disciplined four-quarter effort to win, 27.13 (175) to 15.9 (99).
``It was a bit of a shootout in the first half and their kids came out firing well early, but I always thought we were going to wear them down,'' Euroa coach David Putamorsi said.
``Our skills were a lot better this week and we were hard and aggressive at the ball which for their young kids eventually it got to them.
``We're on the crest of the hill I reckon ... we know we can be a good side, but we just need do a little bit more.''
Jansz's second double-digit haul of the season took him to 32 goals in four games, while Clint Dudgeon provided a focal point up forward for the Bears with five goals in his 200th club game.
The way Shane Clayton racked up possessions, it seemed he had brought his own footy to the game, delivering into the forward line to Jansz with precision.
Shepparton's Marc Harrap revealed Euroa's weakness in the ruck division by dominating the contests against Damon Clarke and Leigh Fox.
Brad Ridings played his best senior game for the Bears, showing skills at ground level and in the air and dodging and weaving his way out of traffic with good pace and strength for a youngster.
Shepparton's depth will be stretched even further for next weekend's clash against Seymour with Luke Crawford (suspected broken wrist), Ben Kelly (knee) and Geremie Ganino (shoulder) all suffering injuries and Rhys O'Sullivan to return to VFL club Box Hill.


Haberman thrilled with teamwork
Teo Pellizzeri
A selfless team performance was what Seymour coach Bernie Haberman asked for and got, as his Lions defeated Tatura by 182 points on Saturday.
But the percentage-boosting win still could not take Seymour to the top of the Goulburn Valley Football League ladder as it sits on four wins and no losses behind Mooroopna.
Saad Saad fired 12 goals to lead a prolific Seymour forward line and keep pace with Euroa's Mark Jansz at the top of the goal-kicking table.
Brendan Liddell, with five goals, and Luke Stevenson with four were the other major contributors as 14 Lions found their way onto the goal-kicking list.
Despite leading by 112 points at the long break, the Seymour side produced a merciless third quarter to kick 11 goals to three.
Haberman said his team had followed his pre-match instructions of keeping heads in the game and not running up the ground for easy kicks.
``Everyone was given a role and told to stick to it,'' Haberman said.
``What pleased me is that they did.
``We were selfless and although the form suggested we would have a comfortable win I still think it was our best performance for the season.''
Saad, along with Shane Schottner and Brent Colbert, were Seymour's better players, while Andrew Crawford, Jamie Jones and Jonathan Barnett were Tatura's best.
It was not all plain sailing for Seymour as Jake Anderson left the game with a shoulder injury early on and was not risked again for the afternoon.
``I think the game was a good opportunity for young players in our side to execute a role and feel like they belong,'' Haberman said.


Bombers crash down
Gus Underwood
Mooroopna continued its hot start to the season by cooling a disappointing Kyabram on a chilly night under lights at Kyabram on Saturday.
In front of another big night footy crowd, the Cats won by 22 points, but the final scores flattered the home side, with Mooroopna wasteful at times with shots on goal.
Despite Kyabram kicking the first four goals of the game after a goal-less first 17 minutes by both sides, the Cats worked their way back into the game with simple hard-running and committed, sharing football, which exposed many chinks in the young Kyabram line-up.
``I couldn't be happier with my side, the way it came back,'' Cats coach Brad Campbell said.
``Ky look a pretty good side, so I was pleasedwith the intensity we maintained to get back into it and win like we did.''
The Bombers looked good in full flight late in the first term with Chris Atkins, Linc Withers and David Newman getting the ball out of the centre and Paul Newman performing his high-marking heroics in attack.
But despite the Bombers winning the centre clearances 12-1 in the first half, Mooroopna was level at half-time after a five-goal-to-two second term.
The writing was on the board then for the home side.
With a four-goal-to-two third term the Cats continued to dictate terms, although the Bombers were still only 14 points off the pace at the last change.
But once it got in front in the third term, Mooroopna never looked like losing.
Its on-ballers and midfielders _ led by hard-running Steve Cox, impressive mobile big man Marcus Dean, Russell Lee, Nathan Tweddle and Brad Lowe _ a sharing forward line led by Craig Wheelan and Robert Osborne and sustained pressure reduced Kyabram to a hesitant rabble at times.
Just the irrepressible Chris Atkins, Paul Newman and skipper Josh Vick and Ryan Edwards stood tall for the home side over the course of the game.
The Bombers got three goals out of former Cat Balraj Singh, but that was about all.
Mooroopna's defence, led by key men Michael Barca and Geoff Connally, got plenty of support with back pocket Dan Collyer, who was arguably the Cats' best player, Ty Parsons and Matt McDonald helping to shut down the Kyabram attack where its crumbing players were conspicuous for their absence.
Exciting aerialist Paul Newman was the only decisive Kyabram forward and he had to be moved to the midfield in the last term where he again had an impact in preventing a blow-out Cats win.
Some of the decision-making of the Kyabram players, particularly its defenders, on the day was simply unacceptable at this level and played into their rivals' hands


Premiership quarter
Shepparton Swans owned the third quarter of yesterday's Goulburn Valley Football League match against Shepparton United, and it needed to in order to come away with the points.
The six-goal-to-two period proved the difference between the two sides, the Swans running out 17.15 (117) to 13.13 (91) victors at Deakin Reserve.
United played a spirited game of football and led by two goals at quarter-time before the Swans found some rhythm midway through the second period.
Seven unanswered goals either side of half-time really proved costly for the Demons, allowing the Swans to break the game open and lead by 41 points going into the last term.
But United refused to lay down, kicking the first four goals of the last term and it could have set the game up for a thrilling finish but missed three consecutive shots on goal to let the Swans off the hook.
Swans coach Peter White was pleased his team came away with the victory, but not with the way it was achieved.
``We played one good quarter of football,'' White said.
``We've still got a bit of work to do. We were flat. I thought United was good today. Their young guys were prepared to run and work for each other, which we didn't do.''
The victory ensures the Swans (third, 3-1) keep the pressure on undefeated top sides Mooroopna and Seymour ahead of their clash against Benalla this weekend.
They are likely to go into the match without ruckman Josh Wilson (hamstring), who White said could miss a couple of weeks.
In his absence, the Swans will hope Jarrod Sutherland can continue his good form after he dominated the stoppages and was busy around the ground playing in the ruck yesterday.
He was ably assisted by Mark Baker in defence and on-ballers Nathan Bell and Mitch Keddell, who were among the Swans' best.
Full-forward Glenn Dundovic presented well all game and was rewarded with another bag of six goals, while Mathew Hebbard, Lochlan Veale and Keddell each kicked two.
For United, Joey Perkovic and Ryan Normington worked tirelessly, while Matt Forys was the best of its forwards with four goals.
The Demons (ninth, 1-3) will need to regroup quickly if they hope to topple Mooroopna at Mooroopna on Saturday.


Tall Tiger forwards too hard to topple
Teo Pellizzeri
Rochester's cleaner skills and hunger for the contest led to it inflicting Mansfield's first defeat this Goulburn Valley Football League season as the Tigers triumphed by 24 points on Saturday.
Mansfield failed to capitalise on a wasteful first-half kicking display from the Tigers and suffered under the weight of intense Rochester pressure in the 15.20 (110) to 12.15 (87) loss.
Tall forwards Elliott Bowen and Clint Whitsed gave the Tigers a formidable one-two punch that proved unbeatable by day's end, while Mansfield's Ben Fagan toiled for six goals and five behinds at the other end.
Mansfield will have its concerns for the season ahead as attack-minded midfielder James Herridge was carried from the ground with a game-ending knee injury in the second term.
Rochester coach Daniel Schmidt scored a tactical victory as his Tigers shut down Mansfield's run in the final term and boxed the Eagles into their own half on numerous occasions.
Mansfield could have pulled within five points in the dying moments had Shaun Monahan backed himself to kick for goal on the run from 45m, rather than handball straight into the hands of an opposition player.
Bowen's sixth goal of the afternoon soon after gave Rochester the points and took the Tigers to a three-wins, one-loss record, now level with Mansfield in third on the ladder.
Kahl Oliver was the main provider of Rochester's new trademark drive out of defence, while Ben Deuscher was a standout in the air and kicked two goals.
The diminutive half-forward out-leaped and out-contested several bigger Mansfield players, typical of a Rochester side given the backing of its coach.
``I've told them if they can make a contest to just go for it,'' Schmidt said.
``Kahl Oliver was another player who marked everything that came his way today.
``It felt a bit like playing ourselves with Mansfield's quick players and run, but right now we're having things fall our way

Does that mean Mansfield can only win at home as they travel every second week, hence the term AWAY GAME.
It must be your Monday to Sunday tool-itis kicking in again.

Not quiet sure where your coming from dikwad???
You might need to spell it out to me. What part of my post did not make sense??
Mansfield arnt a bad side, Rochester beat them, Mansfield have to travel a long way to Rochester.
Does travel not come into consideration when teams play each other??
Is it not an advantage for Rochester to play Mansfield at home??
The rest of you dribble dose not make sense!

I dont think Rochester are going too well. I cant see them being as good as their names would sugest. How many of their players travel long distances to play? Might be why they have the names and not the results? They have changed the coach this year, maybe its the players and not the coach? Dirty may have come to his senses and got out??

Why aren't they 'going too well.'? That comment just doesn't make sense.

From the weekend's team, 18 travel from Bendigo, Echuca or live in the Rochester district. Two come up from Melbourne, but have lived in Rochester for most of their lives. I'm not sure where Brad Collins lives, but he was from Numurkah. Bowen works in Echuca, quite a few players live in Bendigo for uni or work there, but grew up in Rochester and there are about 5 Bendigo based players.

What names are you talking about? There have been no massive recruits. The new guys like Collins, Deuscher, O'Brien and Givney are young blokes that have mostly played local, major league footy. There have been no ex-AFL players or big name players from interstate that have come to the club in the off-season.

Additionally, they are 3-1, defeating Euroa, Shepparton and Mansfield. Seymour were too good. I'm not sure what more Rochester can do?

Rochester are fourth on the ladder and Kyabram are eighth with two less wins, yet Dirty got out at the right time?

You honestly make no sense at all. Please attempt to make some sort of sense in your own mind before posting baseless, ill-informed rubbish.

Extraordinary.

Here's an interesting fact for you. If you calculate the distance it takes to travel from Mansfield to Rochy, it equals the exact same distance that it takes to travel from Rochy to Mansfield. I know, I've measured.

But somehow I don't think you'd give Rochy any sympathy if they were the travelling team that lost.

Its only early Brad and you will have as much hope in prooving me wrong as I would prooving you wrong. Its my opinion and the future will show me as being wrong or right. Good point though they have beaton Euroa (who have only beaten Tatura and Shepparton), Shepparton who have only beaten Benalla and Mansfield at home. Give it a little time and the Rochy softies will proove they are a fair way off the pace.
Lets re visit where we are at in 3 weeks time.
