Local Geelong Leagues Thread (GFL/BFL/GDFL)

[fiveonenine]

Pete Hardy from leopold was rookie listed by Port in the rookie draft. Only geelong falcon to go in this draft. Could be a few quality kids about in the local leagues this season perhaps...

hmm doubt it, rockefeller, j sheringham, cordy, mitch scott, bucavaz, flinn chisolm etc etc are all having a crack at vfl

 

[The Hulkster]

My top 5 at each club in the BFL (based on last years teams) Maybe fewer than 5 for a few clubs

Newcomb - Rick O'Toole, Mark Stewart, Peter Bury, Leigh Morrison, Greg Costello

excuse me the hulkster..i was just wondering how you could possibly leave matt bruhn out of newcombs top 5? he was probably the best player at grovedale in the gfl for numerous years and dominated last year when he played kicking bags of goals

The reason i left out Matt Bruhn is because he has failed to show the sort of form he did at Grovedale for Newcombe. Yes you are right he is a very good player but from what i saw he did not play as well as the others. He was injured a bit and to be honest he was probably the next player i would put in.

Do you know exactly where these players are training? I would expect Werribee but any other clubs? I'm suprised Sherringham and Rockefeller never got selected in either draft. Sherringham was considered a top 40 pick but with minimal time in the carnival and with hamstring injuries, he may have been a bit of a turn off for scouts.

I'm a big fan of Kristian Bucavaz... good luck to him.

j.sheringham and t.sheringham are a big chance to be playing under former falcons coach damien christiansen at box hill...

 

[sandysnap]

My top 5 at each club in the BFL (based on last years teams) Maybe fewer than 5 for a few clubs

Barwon Heads - O'Brien, Ben Patrick, Michael Boothey, Eddie Erftmeyer, Gav Smith

Anglesea - Christian Robertson, Darren Gillies,

Ocean Grove - James Dalton, Bones Clarke, The coach

Portarlington - Paul Lynch no others

Queenscliff - All no good

Drysdale - Luke Maher, Ryan Gatgens, Rhys Holwell, Simon Nelis,

Newcomb - Rick O'Toole, Mark Stewart, Peter Bury, Leigh Morrison, Greg Costello

Torquay - Adam Skrobolak, Daine Taylor, Andrew Wesly, Drew Steven, Nigel Browning

Moddawarre - Scott Hovey

Geelong Amateur - Haami Williams, Sam Clark, Tim Clark, Lindsay Smith, Hayden Timms

I disagree with alot of ur top 5 players
- Torquay: Nigel browning above Hope and raidme, gotta b kidding
- Moddawarre only one good player? baars? Leslie? Dellow? Allen?
- Paul lynch didnt even play really, hicks?
- Hayden Timms above Trisitan Mounjoy?
- Ocean Grove had a young side and beat every side at least once watabout players Rock? Kelly Williams? Andy Van Noordenberg? Matt Perry? all had more influence than bones and sproule
- Christian Robertson didnt even play
- Watbout Kershaw, clinnick for barwon heads?

 

[tommahawk_07]

does it really matter? most would be ressies in gfl anyway...

We are all entitled to our opinions. My knowledge on a few clubs was down hence why not a full list was presented. But i had a crack.

I agree tomma! stop clogging this thread up with a top 5 of *******s!

 

[Bruman]

Can everyone that rates the GFL go and stick up for it in the "Best local leaagues thread". These dicks are convinced the GV, OnM and Ballarat leagues are better than GFL..

This Years Gfl Season Is Gunna Be A Ripper! Plenty Of New Vfl & Ex Afl Recruits Around The Clubs, Top 5 In No Particular Order...
Tony Brown, James Cail, Chris Gilham, Peter Riccardi & Warwick Knuckey, Anyone Disagree...

 

[NoRumoursAllFact]

Iam actually still laughing at the fact that greg costello is in ur top 5 at newcomb hulkster.. is that seriously a joke.

Newcomb 2's players would b dirty if u had him ahead of them!!

Sorry i must have missed your list. Why dont you have a go at one rather than critisising others.

I have seen Costello play at full back a number of times and he is rarely beaten. We are all entitled to an opinion.

 

[Kooley]

i would probably have saunders in there instead of gilham too..gilham is a gun but saunders is better

not anymore he isn't.

Chris Gilham comes from the worst league in geelong and hasnt played at a higher standard for a long time! your kidding yourself if he walks into the GFL'S top 5 players! He will be lucky to make team of the year! You only have two players from last years finals team in there!

 

[Whispers]

Don't worry about Paul Chambers and GW-SP because he has been in deep discussions with Lara and may have even trained with them already! Surely big Sarg would be in the leagues top 5 when he signs with the Cats...

 

[rooy]

good choice but make it more interesting...do a top 15 or 20 players in the gfl so people can express there thoughts because ur top 5 wood be most people's top 5

Hard to have a top 20 but i will give it a go i will choose one from each side that played last year. These players could turn a match and prob the most important in side. Also add a few of the recruits.

St Albans Allen
Gun on baller who does everything kicks goals and gets heap of it very good player.

Sth Barwon Knuckey
One of the guns of the competition prolific ball winner wno keeps getting better.

st Marys Cail
Same as knuckey great ball winner must be one of the fittest goin around gun

Geelong West Jack
played mostly around half forward on ball kicked 50 goals this season very important player v good player

St Joeys Greaves
big bloke up forward who they go through a lot if marking well very hard to stop one of the premier big men in comp.

Grovedale Mensch
Same as above big fella with good hands added responsibility with coach but if fit look out.

Lara Hasset
good on baller who keeps getting posessions good player one to watch.

Newtown mcvilley
hard nut in the middle hard to split between him and harrington but he keeps them going with a loy of run v good player.

Leopold brown
Not much to be said great player who just keeps getting the ball.

Nth Shore Nicholls
good on baller who can go forward and kick goals very tough to match up on.

Bell Park Talbot
One of the best backmen in the comp sets up most of there plays with direction and his skills.

Colac Carmody
Very good forward hard to match up on big leap with very strong hands.

New recruits

only no a few so anyone else have there in put.
Nth Shore robertson will be a gun of the competition.
newtown Jay bett and bright if they both play will be v good players again.
West Riccardi and the carson brothers will be good attributes.
Not to sure about gilham stepping up a few leauges and not sure if saunders is the same player he was 3 years ago.
Can anyone mention other recruits or players

Chambers signed for 2 years with Werribee yesterday so wont be playing GFL at all

Well you would be a suffering fan because they are a sh.it of a club. They will need more than the Coy brothers to be any good, Thomson will eat them for dinner.

 

[hilly21]

sam chapman nearly best in gfl very underrated!

Why would you 'retire' from AFL because you have lost the passion to play but decide to play in the nations second best competition? Isn't logic...

Because he would have been delisted anyway. Looks better to "retire" than be delisted.

 

[smasher316]

How good do u reckon steve shultz is? and will St. Marys miss him as much as likes of Frankey and other qualty players they have lost? and how do u reckon the marys will go this sesaon?

Don.t worry about Dinner Newton,you'll be still crying Wheaties if you roll up to each game thinking that Thompson is going to keep smashing sides. East Will be strong. Theres 6 players from a Premiership BFL side that had a undefeated reserve side knocking on the door, they weren't there by accident.
