Not too many grounds you can refuse clearances on these days.
Speculating that return of $$$ may be involved.

[RiverRat]

Any news on J Murphy's whereabouts/future at the Tigers ?

At this stage Murph is playing with Heidelberg in 2010.

[gurusingha]

I think you'll find a few are actually from mill park juniors which is an affiliated club.

I think you'll find that agreement ended a few years ago due to the Bulls only wanting the kids with ability and treating the rest like S..t.

[grass-is-greener]

It is my understanding the Mill Park and St Mary's have an agreement/affiliation.

[The Bloke]

Anyone tell me much about Terry or 'T' who used to play for Lalor Bloods?

[Ossie]

It is my understanding the Mill Park and St Mary's have an agreement/affiliation.

I was under the impression that Mill Park ended that agreement when the NFL was started.

How long is the affiliation with St Marys going to last , now that they have a senior club?

Watsy juniors will have an effect as well.

As I have said before get out there and grow your own.

[chicknfeed]

pretty sure bundoora has a affiliation with st marys, mill park, st damians, and also
yarrambat as of the last couple of years also.
obviously with the st marys one probably not going to be happening for too much longer,
that is why the club gets so many young kids up there

We simply picked up a few who decided that there are better opportunities at Macleod (not to mention that they want to play with their brothers.

And who knows - Tommy Snr might just don the jumper again to play his 537th game

Poor old Nuge will have to carry another team.

Saad

[FOOTYBOSS]

Saad to be leaving Seymour
Saad Saad is leaving Seymour for real this time.
Melbourne-based Saad is returning to Northern Football League side Northcote Park with his increased work commitments as an electrician.
The 27-year-old, who kicked 463 goals in five seasons for Seymour, almost left Kings Park to join VFL clubs Collingwood in 2008 and Bendigo Bombers last year.
``Saad needs to be able to not travel to focus on a few things with his electrical business,'' Seymour president Trevor Gunn said.
``He will be deemed as a bit irreplaceable but he will still be part of the club and always welcome back.''
Work duties have also forced triple premiership midfielders Brendan Liddell (Wangaratta) and Guy Pemberton (Greensborough) to leave Seymour.
Liddell, runner-up in last year's Morrison Medal, runs his own physiotherapy clinic in Wangaratta.
Pemberton, who will play against Saad in the Northern League, owns a landscaping business.
Bernie Haberman has called an end to his playing career and will coach from the sidelines this year.
Gunn said Seymour's key player exodus was inevitable after its recent dynasty.
``It's a spell we've got to have from where we've been,'' Gunn said.
``In the last five years we've won six football premierships _ three senior (2005-07), two reserves (2006 and `08) and one under-18 (2007).
``We're coming off the back of a good spell and you can't be up there competing for premierships every year.''
Seymour's chances of replacing Saad have been helped with brothers Brent and Paul Colbert returning for another season.
Former Essendon rookie Tim O'Keefe has returned from VFL club Port Melbourne.
Veteran Morrison medallist Shane Schottner is playing another year and premiership teammates Tim Hooper and Brett Spargo are back.

Listed as an assistant coach, you would have thought he would have been at training right through the pre season. Is that title just a justification for the money paid to him.

Pretty hard to put a monetary value on what he has done for us over the past 4 seasons. That being said I would have thought that he, even at the age of 33 is worth every cent.

You'll find that the majority of bundoora supporters on here (and in general) carry a rather large chip on their shoulder and find it difficult to grasp the concept of reality. They are irrational and somewhat deluded when it comes to football and like a lot of other clubs have developed a shocking culture along the way.

No guessing who you follow

Your guess would be wrong. I follow Heidelberg when time permits as I travel alot with work, however the fact that an injured Whitnall has finshed 2nd in the comp goalkicking with bags of 70 behind Shane Harvey the last two years, coupled with the fact that I think the Bloods are a better side than Greensborough, Eltham, West Preston and Macleod should justify my putting them in my top 5.

[RiverRat]

Out of interest, does anyone on here rate Heidelberg's Jake Williams? Never seems to get a mention yet you could mount a strong argument for him being the best player in the comp. Has also been referred to as "number 8" by a former Montmorency head coach.

[The Boof]

2009 Heidelberg v Montmorency. Jake "The Muss" Williams blitzed em out of the back-line during the first and second which ultimately laid the platform for a humiliating defeat for Mont. Classic it was.

Huge news coming out of Macleod this week. Rumors that they had signed ex-Sydney Swan Troy Luff were spoken around the league. I had to see for myself and there he was training with the Kangaroos. A massive boost for a ********** of a club

Mmmm - think you'll find it was 2008 Boof but no disputing Jake's contribution.

Mont's fate sealed in the 2nd semi after Jake was poleaxed by a fair hit from D Stanley who then made the mistake of mocking him whilst he lay on the ground badly winded. If I recall correctly someone named Trew squared up two weeks later.

Now that was a classic.

The game I had in mind was last years home game. As for the Stanley incident and outcome it too was a classic.

Why Mont never played Stanley got me thinking about certain things. Always played well against the boys. Anyway that's history.

Played at Lalor in 2000 as a leading forward and if my memory serves me i think he kicked around 60 goals. beautiful left foot kick and will be an asset.Would now be in his early 30's and not sure how he's gone at Marby but the Bulls have obviously chased him with the view of replacing O'Brien/Finlayson from last season.

Big signing for the Lower Plenty Bears signing young gun foward Hadyn "Darren Glass" Bryce from Greensborough for 200 a game. Haydz is looking to having a massive year raving in the cave because of missing out all of last year.

[RiverRat]

Buying Premierships aside, I keep getting told from outsiders looking in that Heidelberg are going to lower the bar this year. What are peoples thoughts? Obviously some big losses but on the other hand a few supposedly "unknown" ins.

Personally I can see a marginal drop off but would certainly expect a top two finish. For the competition's sake we need to see someone start challenging us, which will hopefully occur this year in the form of Bundoora, Northcote Park, Montmorency perhaps even West Preston and to a lesser degree Eltham.

[quote=RiverRat;16985058]Buying Premierships aside, I keep getting told from outsiders looking in that Heidelberg are going to lower the bar this year. What are peoples thoughts? Obviously some big losses but on the other hand a few supposedly "unknown" ins.

Personally I can see a marginal drop off but would certainly expect a top two finish. For the competition's sake we need to see someone start challenging us, which will hopefully occur this year in the form of Bundoora, Northcote Park, Montmorency perhaps even West Preston and to a lesser degree Eltham.[/qu

Get yourself a missues big boy!

[mustafish]

mustafish? mustabeastinker......if your aware mate there are 5 teams that can make finals this year...North Heidelberg, Eltham and Gboro will all contend for that 5th position...West and Lalor will fight relegation...
Word is that Richard Champion who has been living in Oakleigh since moving down from Brisbane is wanting to have a run around with Eltham after being in contact with Adam Simpson
hince why ive got smokeys macleod in there...

My opinion is that the only Heidelberg in the NFL would compete with the top 3 or 4 in the EFL. EDFL though seems to be around the same par as NFL.

[snake43]

ok thanks for that mate, so EFL would be the better out of the 3?

great day put on by eltham and warrandyte yesterday. well organised and im sure they raised alot of cash for a good cause. Both teams took it very serious and im sure it was a good hit out for 2 teams. As for eltham i think they might be around the same position as last year, they rely to much on varsa and connelly. with only currie and maybe one or 2 to come back they might push for that 5th spot, but it might be a struggle. good day anyone, good to see local footy back!

Big signing for the Lower Plenty Bears signing young gun foward Hadyn "Darren Glass" Bryce from Greensborough for 200 a game. Haydz is looking to having a massive year raving in the cave because of missing out all of last year.

News to Lower!

Eastern would be the best but the EDFL is closing the gap. The NFL bar Heidelberg isn't as strong as the other two IMO. Would be good to organise a footy carnival with each of the metro leagues competing.

bundoora had a good hit out tonight, on a terrible ground. i may change my recruit of the year aswell to josh cole. wow he looked good!

[chicknfeed]

he did look good lions, his name is joe cole never been much talk about him i spose cause everyone has been concentrating on richard. Can really play though won the best in the comp in central australia 2008 but missed most of last year with a broken leg
