Unfortunately dont think anyone cares about the om anymore, foregone conclusion before a bounce of the ball... boring
Fair call. When AFC can make it more appealing for angus graham to join their club rather than accept a rookie list invitation from Carlton any wonder the comp is somewhat of a yawn fest...

Had a season with ST. Arnaud in the North Central league,showed flashes of brilliances but didn't set the world on fire OMFL probably 4 rungs above NCFL so will be interesting to see how he goes.Didnt appear to appreciate real close checking which I imagine he will attract here.

Loads off ability obviously but like you say the o and m ain't touch football like up north. He will know he is in a footy game down here. I'm tipping good money aswell. What's everyone's thoughts on raiders approach this year? Recruited A lot from all over and would be spending some coin. The way the comp is at the moment no one's winning it except Albury. Clubs go broke trying compete with Albury and it just isn't sustainable to spend huge amounts of money. It has and will continue to break clubs. By the look of Creswell is recruiting anyone he can.
What do they do though. They need to improve in order to make the place more attractive to potential recruits in the next couple of years. As long as they are not breaking the bank this season and the spending is at a sustainable level then it can't be a bad thing
Correct, he is a silky flashy player and is very quick. But is of a thin light build, and in O&M footy this will be a real challenge for him. Hope he does well, because he is a exciting player.

I understand that but they have done this before and got nowhere when Corey Lambert was coaching.did it work that time? Definitely not. They would be spending don't worry about that. The way Lavi went about it a few years ago is the only way to build a strong team and club , not flash in the pan buying. Do you think half these guys will be their in 3 or 4 years time? Good luck to them this year. Be interesting to see how it pans out over the next few seasons for them.

Yarra have lost motor and occonnor a couple handy ones unless they can find some cash real fast!
I think you're right. They have to try and recruit to get people interested and while they've recruited a few players I don't think they have picked up anyone like Davies, Rose, Grossman, Archer etc that is going to blow a budget by too much. They got a few good kids from the Hume league who should have an impact.

huge gets for strathmerton, probably sees them as favourites over there... be interesting to see, either way they need to hurry up and make a call, season is nearly upon us
With the recruits they have got and Cresswell as coach, I predict they will make the final five this season, maybe even come in behind Albury, Lavi, and Yarra.
Just watch one of these recruits, and that is Todd Grayson from up here in QLD.Has been a gun at NEAFL level, is a hard inside/outside player whom should adapt to the O & M style of play .
Albury, Yarra & Lavi all seem pretty quiet. It seems fairly certain that they will make up the top 3 again. Does anyone else realistically have a chance? Rovers finished 4th and could slip dramatically and Corowa seem to be a similar standard to last year when they finished 5th.

I doubt any of that is true dogs1703. Sounds like someone trolling.
Perhaps theyll end up at Jerilderie, been a truck load of cash spent up there over the last few years

Have been lucky enough to see this guy play a few times live and I cannot wait for him to show the people of the Border what an absolute gun he is. Got a feeling I'm gunna be watching the raiders a fair bit this season.
Not feeling any Rovers love fruit?
Is there a changing of the gaurd at Yarra ? Seem to be heading into a new era
