b edwards should kill it this year for ky he has no fear
umm it doesnt matter if he has no fear he has to be able to use the ball well..:thumbsd:

[Doggies#8]

See benalla went down by 10 goals or so to the lions on the w/e. Is it fair to say that the saints only have a few shining lights this year, with the rest being shithouse??

[footy_rulz]

zac betson awesome game. ran and read the ball well

Yeah he's good. Played against him a few times in the Murray League. Reads the play well.

[scottwestjr]

umm it doesnt matter if he has no fear he has to be able to use the ball well..:thumbsd:
he is a good user of the ball too. he played seniors and played well. he took a hanger and kicked a goal from 60 fair effort that.

[da goodes]

did finnen play for swans? or did he play seniors?

[swans2008]

did finnen play for swans? or did he play seniors?


played 3rds at centre half back and on the ball... seniors are too strong but are lookin for 3rds players i believe to get games through out the season but not for a bit into season

[tigers09]

how does everyone think the swans boys will go against mooroopna this sunday?

[~afterhours~]

he is a good user of the ball too. he played seniors and played well. he took a hanger and kicked a goal from 60 fair effort that.
yup fair enough how old is he? will he play seniours all year?

[scottwestjr]

yup fair enough how old is he? will he play seniours all year?
yer he will be 18 this year. he will play some games in the seniors not all i wouldnt think.

[Demons4ever]

played 3rds at centre half back and on the ball... seniors are too strong but are lookin for 3rds players i believe to get games through out the season but not for a bit into season
Will be hard for any thirds player at swans to play seniors this year espicially when the senior squad is at full strenght. Dash might be the exception when he is available. Afraid there will not be a lot of opportunities for the boys this year unless there is a bad run of injuries.

[Demons4ever]

how does everyone think the swans boys will go against mooroopna this sunday?
Tough game, swans are in good form (1 win) and Mooroopna have a good squad. I'm tipping the cats by 5 goals but that doesn't mean much as I got most of the AFL tips wrong on the weekend. If the cats play up to their potential they should win. But they need to shut down Betson, Preece, Grant and Finnen. Close them down and they win.

[juddy wce]

The GVFL is trying to become the AFL with all these Sunday games and Saturday night games. What happen to just playing on Saturday morning/Arvo?

[ECHUCABOY]

If the Swans were a descent Club they'd blood the youngster, instead of sticking with the old blokes. Thats the difference between Shepparton Clubs and Echuca and Rochy. Thats why they don't win flags and have sustained success.

They rely on coin rather than producing quality senior footballers who will be loyal to the Club

swans were unlucky last year in the seniors, did make the grand final and finished third on the ladder.
they had no real development in there thirds last year, but have a heap of bottom age kids this year. no doubt that some thirds will be blooded into the senior league.

[jaggo]

Did anyone see the Ky / Echuca match?
Interested to hear views re Echuca and who played well for Ky?

How the hell did united lose to mansfield???????

[The String]

How the hell did united lose to mansfield???????
when the siren went mansfield were in front and therefore united lose

[bennyc]

How the hell did united lose to mansfield???????

mansfield where tougher on the ball and united players didnt man up. mansfield played well

[bread and butter]

mansfield where tougher on the ball and united players didnt man up. mansfield played well
well then i would say kyabram are going to be the team to beat this year.

[barrasi31]

well then i would say kyabram are going to be the team to beat this year.

yeh, seems like it. Ky will be pretty strong this year.
united started slowly and it cost them in the end.
4 goals to one in the first quarter, plus they were a bit inaccurate.

[valley man]

well then i would say kyabram are going to be the team to beat this year.


dont get to excited. doubt Mansfield will be a force in thirds so not a hard win and Echuca was not at full strength. Ky will be good but its still early days.

[valley man]

umm it doesnt matter if he has no fear he has to be able to use the ball well..:thumbsd:

have u seen him play to comment on his skills????

[bread and butter]

have u seen him play to comment on his skills????
i have seen him play and his skills are well above average to say the least

[scottwestjr]

dont get to excited. doubt Mansfield will be a force in thirds so not a hard win and Echuca was not at full strength. Ky will be good but its still early days.
yeah but its still safe to say they will be in the top half of the ladder this year

[giant]

mansfield where tougher on the ball and united players didnt man up. mansfield played well
j. wright should be playing alot more. also trent doyle. this is how united lost.

[giant]

yeah but its still safe to say they will be in the top half of the ladder this year
gee blake knaggs can play footy. hes been under cooked this year to date but hopefully will blossom later in the year.

[jaggo]

dont get to excited. doubt Mansfield will be a force in thirds so not a hard win and Echuca was not at full strength. Ky will be good but its still early days.

If you doubt that Mansfield will a force this year where does it leave United? Credit where credit is due, well done to the Mansfield boys.Perhaps United aren't nearly as good as they were talking themselves up to be.

[juddy#03]

:thumbsu:Jonny Caldow for Tatura has had a really good preseason and it is starting to pay dividens. he has an enormous engine, Totally dominated against Euroa with 37 quality touches. On the verge for senior selection

[Demons4ever]

j. wright should be playing alot more. also trent doyle. this is how united lost.
Jacko has been injured and Doyley struggled a bit on saturday.

[Demons4ever]

Mansfield played basic footy and won. United did get ahead of themselves and everyone one had a shocker on the day.

[Demons4ever]

mansfield where tougher on the ball and united players didnt man up. mansfield played well
Worse game yet to watch. Scrabbly footy full of mistakes from both sides with Mansfield being able to make the most of their opportunities. United had too many players down, too many turnovers, too many missed targets, too many too manys. Well done Mansfield, better side on the day but United will never play that poorly again (I hope).

[valley man]

watchin mansfield first round if they play or make it far in finals i would say the standard from last year has dropped a bit. United might not have played up to their standard or had players out i dont know didnt see??

[valley man]

:thumbsu:Jonny Caldow for Tatura has had a really good preseason and it is starting to pay dividens. he has an enormous engine, Totally dominated against Euroa with 37 quality touches. On the verge for senior selection


only on the verge of playing tat ones. if he was any good should have started in ones. and i know he wouldn't make ones at any other club, have payed against him and is average player at best

[scottwestjr]

only on the verge of playing tat ones. if he was any good should have started in ones. and i know he wouldn't make ones at any other club, have payed against him and is average player at best
thats right if he was any good he would have already been in the seniors

[hawks69]

how do ppl rekon benalla will go this year?

I wouldnt start pumping this gut up until he totally dominates against a good side. euroa werent much last year and seem to be the same this year. I have played against him and i dont think he would get a game in any other senior side in most leagues, let alone GV.

[Bucket #18]

Seymour beat eurora in a tight game, eurora just ran out of legs in the last quarter, eurora played good footy with Brad Cunningham, Ash Hobbs, Brad Gleeson and Sammy Wright all playing well! But seymour were just to good and ran out the 4 quarters, Seymour ended up winning by 5 goals.

..........GO LIONS

[lovemefooty08]

Ky played pretty well, were up by 13 points with about 15 minuts left. To the swans credit came back and won. Ky played pretty well considering Butler and Deledio were missing. Balraj was well held, Paulo on fire, Withers showed sum impressive patches of play.
mate i think you've got the wrong thread! :confused:

[giant]

any people here ever rate tat???
at full strength they look good n would be the team to beat IMO

[scottwestjr]

never said they didn't stand out for their team. but wouldn't be hard in that side. easily the worst game the ky thirds has played yet. and these "freaks" should stand up and win their team the game when its in the balance

[jaggo]

Thought Ky were ordinary though Preece was quiet due to injury. He and oggie had a good duel.

[tigers09]

preece still got in the best players and so did barolli, they played good solid games all day.
and yes preece and ogden was a good match up, thought they broke even at the end of the day?
what are your thoughts?

[mr.smith]

Ky thirds would have to be the team to beat this year now. Good wins against Echuca and Mooroopna show this.

And today?. Too many individuals I reckon.

[its game on]

Did Cam Hall ruck in the game against Echuca?

[footballer2008]

And today?. Too many individuals I reckon.
must admit i watched the game today too and they werent playing as a team, with a few of them doing stupid things at the wrong time giving away stupid free kicks, thought there backline did very well, united's goalkicking will need a bit of work this week with heaps of easy misses in the last quarter,but the swannies boys played a great game n deserved to win.

What team would they have to play in to not stand out... last time i checked it takes more then individuals to win a game.. when individuals begin to play serious football there team goes down hill

Individuals playing well can only benefit a side, its a lot better then putting forward a poor performance. Also shouldn't everybody who steps onto the ground be playing "serious football". If you dont take it seriously your kidding yourself

no one from swans side i can tell ya that. probably no one in the thirds comp to tell you the truth. freak is used too often to describe players who are average at best. so for me freak status is the likes of Jim Hird and chris judd not some pussys that run around in an average swans unit.

[higgins69]

See benalla went down by 10 goals or so to the lions on the w/e. Is it fair to say that the saints only have a few shining lights this year, with the rest being shithouse??

nah i dont reckon that will be the case. i rekon that benalla wont have many shining lights at all. but alot of average hard working players. expect them to probly scrape into the 6

Only 2 genuine freaks in GVFL/GV other surrounding leagues.

Saad Saad and Steele Sidebottom.

Must have something to with SS initials.:D

[valley man]

well go on and tell me how you win a game of footy.. by individuals or a team


i didn't say individuals will win games for ya. u still have to have good side across the board. But individuals (good players) playing well will only benefit the side and good players will bring lesser players into the game

[swans2008]

Haha key word "imagine". And that game against swans was the worst we have played all year.

its always good to imagine... After the game kyabram coach approached swans and said Quote; that was the HARDEST game of footy we have played. You put alot of pressure on us.. So i dont think it was the worst ky have played i think it was the only game they had competition to compete against

it may have been hard and we have been challenged by every team we have played so far. but it was still probably the worst we have played. unforced skill errors and in general play and at goals that has nothing to do with the swans side and was brought about by ky having a bad game

Out of that group who do people think would be the ruckman for this side??no real big name ruckman that i know of listed??

[jaggo]

I rate the Swans highly and think they will finish top 6. The big surprise is how United are travelling, alot of hype pre season but to date little to get enthused about. The United boys could struggle to play finals. Interesting to see that Ky only nominated top age players for the GV squad and omitted a number of their high performing lower age players.

The United boys could struggle to play finals. Interesting to see that Ky only nominated top age players for the GV squad and omitted a number of their high performing lower age players.
Also interesting to note that Tatura have 8 in the squad, they must be travelling ok. I agree with your comments about United. They have Mooroopna and Ky coming up. Two more loses and finals are slipping away.

does anyone know who shepp united were missing on the weekend? i didnt see the game and was just wondering wtf happened?
Swans were harder and played a team game. United made too many errors and played crap. Some of the mistakes they did were ridiculous. Pretty sure they had Muggles, Freezer, Gribbo and Jimmy Cullum in the seniors and Swans had Finnen in the Seniors. Shaw was out and will miss most of the season. Other then that I think they missed Burness and Donovan. But no excuses all clubs have players in the seniors and others out injured. They were not good enough on the day.

big call seeing u wouldnt no who i am. played against them last year and will this year. who are the 8 u think would play?? Say in ky seniors because their list isn't strong, so might give em a chance

first of all the list of swans 3rds is about 10 times better than it was last year and i would say these 8 would be able to play GV seniors at maybe Tat, Ky, Bears, and maybe United..
Ant Tutala
Finnen
Ben Timothee
Parris
Poustie
Barolli
Grant
Preece


Haha key word "imagine". And that game against swans was the worst we have played all year.[/quote]

Mate what do you say now? Two of em have played or are about to play seniors!!

You got a gig yet in the ones?:cool:

i disagree, the bolded players i doubt are up to gvfl senior level, in any team.. ant tutala is big, but not quality, ben timothee is lazy as a footballer, chris grant is bout the size of my little toe and would get murdered by any player, needs to develop.. and tom preece is an excellent player but once again, needs to develop alot more as a man first.

was at the game between united and bears today at deakin. united belted the bears but bears had a few out inclluding ridings, thorsen, bucktin, woodcock and pullen. bears really didnt have many stand outs on the day but up forward lowden provided a good optiion with his limited opportunities, other better players for the bears including dunne and mcmullan. United were a dominant force and look set for a massive year. They out muscled their smaller bear opponents with plenty of big bodies in the side. Gribben had a great game and kicked a bag whilst Mellington had a solid day in the ruck. Liam Ryan took a great hanger in the goal square and was solid all day. Their smaller players in doyle and burness provided the united forwards with good options all day and ran ragged all day. Overall not bad brand of footy and both sides look forward to a exciting year of footy.


I agree that United were impressive but lets not get carried away, the opposition wasn't that strong on the day. All the boys that have been mentioned performed well. I was interested in some of the lesser known players. I was really impressed with the games of Doyle and Burness who seemed to pick up a lot of possessions by smart running and crumbing, I think they will both develop into handy players. ODwyer and Jack OSullivan were tough and really hurt some people with solid tackles. However I was most impressed with Tetley and Collins who played in a number of positions throughout the day and completey dominated and caused a lot of damage. I'm looking forward to the next few weeks with the team playing Mansfield, Echuca, Swans, Mooroopna and Kyabram. All sides that have been identified as being stronger or improved from last year. If they can win more then they lose over the next 5 rounds then they might just be serious contenders. It would have been good to have played Seymour as well early on to get a measurement against last years premiers but they don't play them until round eleven. And back to last weeks game, I spoke to Coach and Ass Coach who were still not entireley happy with some of the errors that the boys made. They mast be tough taskmasters as I thought the boys played a sensational game.

Still plenty of time to regroup though and they have a good coach who will ensure his charges lift. Doyle looked like he hurt his back again and he may miss a fair bit. Has a history with this injury. O'Sullivan is limited and never handballs, lacks skill and goes the man too much. Collins is selfish and has an ego problem. I drove up to watch em last week and there argued amongst themselves and played individual football.
