Anyone here from Kilmore? will Trent Kelly be a regular in the seniors?

Trent Kelly is in the army reserves this yr so is taking a break from the footy unfortunately...would dare say he would of been a firsts regular this season at Kilmore but i think he would have been eligible for the U/18 and a halfs as well this yr...

 

[Sheafie]

If Kilmore go ahead and move into the Northern league who is the likely replacement?

where'd ya hear that Kilmore are even thinking of moving from???

Because it was soooo successful for Wallan . . .

Riddell were victors over Gordon in a pretty easy hit out at Bomber Oval today, winning 14. 11. 95. to 6. 10. 46.

Players to catch the eye were Jason Allen, Darcy Grant, Lockie Testro, Murray McDougall, Ben Sonegan, Chris Meacham (with a lazy 6 or 7 majors) & the ever reliable Buzzy Jelleville in the mid field.

Unfortunately for the rest of the competition the Bombers look like they will still be a force in the RDFL in 09 !

Rockbank beat Gordon in a praccy match last week or the week before too. What basis for your suggestion that Riddell will remain a force in 09 Omni?

I was just looking through the clearances and noticed that Sipthorps clearance was refused back in feb, it has not since been re lodged or approved. Is he staying put at Woodend? is he giving footy a miss this year or has his clearance not been updated on the website?

Cause I dont wanna have my house burnt down & be run outa town at the pointy end of a fire arm !!!!!

No no seriously they still tick all the boxes to be a very successful unit, move the ball very quickly & skillfully, & have a formidable focal point up forward.
They may not be a 20 goal better side than the rest of the comp' this season (which aint such a bad thing) but as I have said previously the much publicised departures will provide an opportunity for others to step up & play some good footy, which I witnessed a little of today.

Oh & Good Luck to Mr Halfull & the RDFL 17s boys tomorrow in their big game.

This is just hearsay/rumour. We've no intention of leaving the the RDFL.
It's never been discussed at Committee level, the President, Secretary or myself haven't even mentioned it in passing.

Honestly this is the first of I've heard of it...

IMO I think NFL are probably on the lookout for some sides to fill their new Div 3, however we won't be one of them.

Anyone know how Broadford went against avenel on saturday?

 

[blackbeard]

Apparently won by about 12 goals James. Very quiet down back for broady for the day apparently, which boades well for you. Butterworth turned in a pretty solid performance in his new strip as did a little fella they were calling Joffa.

The Young guns of the RDFL Academy took on AFL Cairns at Riddell on Sunday winning in a hard and tough battle by 84 Points
Skipper Myles Doorman was impressive, kicking six majors and setting up 3-4 others.

“His presence at the contest is amazing for a smaller guy, his ability to read the play and use the ball effectively is second to none” said Coach Glenn Elliott

“Myles has the ability to bring others in the game and whilst he managed to kick half a doze, he easily assisted in 3 to 4 others.

Macedon Bigman Peter Markworth showed he is going to be the premier centre half forward in the Buffalo Sports Under 18 cup in 2009 with a dominate display up the field.

“Markworth lead well up the field, he was able to open the forward line up for Myles and Sunbury Kangaroos key forward Matthew Leonard, taking strong pack marks up the wing and centre half forward” added Elliott

“Markworth, Doorman and Leonard kicked 10 goals between, they all come from different clubs, but you would have thought today they had been playing together for years” said Elliott.
The backline stood up well under pressure, Romsey’s Jamie Michael proving to be important in all the RDFL thrusts forward.

“Jamie is a 16 year old kid who is playing seniors, he continues to improve, has exceptional leadership capabilities and is one of the guys who has benifted greatly out of the academy program over the past two years” said Elliott.

All the attention turns to the RDFL 18’s schedule that includes games against the BFL and SFL in May and June.

Heard a whisper that new Bendigo Leauge side Strathfieldsaye meeting could be on the cards with him, there are links up there with Nick Dwyer assistant coach and former Romsey young gun Ben Richmond playing there(he was great on saturday kicking 4 goals from what the herald sun reads) they seem to be in a very good financial position and reckon it would make for a interesting chat!! ONLY A RUMOR AT THIS STAGE THOUGH!!!!!!!!

I got my hands on a DVD of Saturday's game and the new Bendigo side looks ultra impressive. It makes Kyneton's efforts even sadder considering they have been shit in the BFL for just about 10 years now and Strathfieldsaye come along and get up and running straight away.

Wouldn't be surprised if Morgan went to the Storm, although Romsey are also financial and could probably match a lot of offers. I'm tipping he'll end up at the Redbacks simply because it's his spiritual home and wouldn't need to prove anything to his peers and opponents.
