If Power is fit he Sarvlais and Henry will start, Corey Brown as well. Sarvalis will be good - hard in and under player - he was Captain of parkside so Sunbury get added leadership from him as well.

McCabe will play everywhere - him, Griffen, Lewis will all rotate through the middle at different stages. They have a lot of options in the middle - but will they be quick enough to go with East Point is the worry.

How come Szvalas left Parkside if he was Captain ? Was it just to play with griffo or lots of cash?

Darley signed another bloke last night to. Danny Measures i think his name is. From Alice Springs & West Adelaide. Only young though but will be good.

Szvalas from parkside? Is he any relation to the Szvalas that played at williamstown years ago?

Can anyone confirm:
Names of the rumoured VFL players supposedly linked with Melton South?

Is Darren Stanley signed at Melton? Still no clearance!

Has Gilbo and Landry gone back to Lakers?

I saw Ballarat train last week, gee there young players look fit! Think older Nunn will compliment them nicely.

Dont right off Redan!

Yes he was at Willy with Griffo.

South have two boys at Coburg - Jermey Krojs and Ben Peters. Both go very good and will be handy when they play. Chambers is at Werribee or Willy and was on the Swans list. The other 2 won't play.

No way writing off Redan.

Not a real smart man Coxy! He works from 7am till 1pm then goes home and goes to bed, and struggles to get up at 5:55 to get to training at darley by 6. How is he going to get up to get to training at hepburn on time, when he is getting jack sh t more money from them. No chance ill give him till round 5 and he wont be playing, he is crazy going back to a **** league like that. His footy will only go backwards he admits he hates playing in the wet or muddy grounds so going up there im not sure he has put much thought into it.

The guys invovled in the Darley FC, what is the feeling regarding Cox leaving and can anyone enlighten on why he would make a decision to head to Hepburn in the CHFL. We all hear the rumours of how much money Hepburn pays its high profile recruits, could this be a reason?

I would not think there would be much to gain for him money wise, what little bit extra he may get from hepburn would just go in fuel and time, to get to training and game day he will have 6 hours on the road each week it would be roughly 1 hour each way from where he lives.
I no darley offered him pretty good money this year So i have no idea what his thinking behind it is
 
Hey KA or Leary, you blokes seem to be pretty up to date with the happenings in the BFL?

Just wondering if any of you could give me an idea of Melton's realistic chances this year? I notice they have lost quite a few and havent gained all that many... Do they have the cattle to play finals footy?

Cheers

I think they will miss the finals - replaced by Melton South. To many of there good players have left. The past has shown Melton to be very strong for a year or two then have a year or 2 down the bottom of the ladder. They won the flag in 01 and missed the finals in 02 and 03. Won 05 and started to drop in 06 and will continue to do so in 07.

Leary are you with me or against me on this one?

Thanks KA...

Looking at the transfers list they have lost a heap and only gained 4 or so... and unless those 4 are guns u would imagine it might be too hard a loss to make up.

Not the kind of bloke to chase flags. If the fish were biting, or if it was duck season, he probably would not even show up grand final day. Football definetely isnt 1st priority.

KA i heard last night that the 2 parkside recruits this year to Sunbury are rumoured to have signed 2 year contracts with the WRFL club last season. Do you know anything about this.

On a different note there is a lot of politics in footy now with tranfers etc. People just going everywhere for money. back in my day blokes played at one club for their career, enjoyed the success with their mates and created a "club". Doesnt seem to happen anymore except at a few clubs. is that why Redan are so successful?
 
I think times have certainly changed Viney thats for sure, although I was a one club player locally, played at a couple of different clubs at higher levels and I dont see the big issue in players playing at different clubs if for the right reasons. Football provides a great medium for players to experience a range of cultures, develop friendships and I dont believe this should necessarily be limited to one club. The life skills players can take on these days by experiencing a couple of different clubs can be invaluable, besides, how do you improve your club if everyone in it has never experienced how other clubs operate.

Totally agree with you on Redan, for the rumoured match payments these guys shell out they certainly know how to attract quality players for a period of time. Wasn't so long ago they were a laughing stock.

A recent example of this vineyard would be a bloke named Brendan Closehy from mildura. We spoke to him a few times at Ballarat and were confident of a signature, when we followed up a call to him he had told us he's signed at redan and it was a fair bit under what we offered him. Why do Redan seem to get quality players with out dishing out big dollars? There must be somthing there doing that us clubs are not catching up on.. It baffles me.

They have got something there, but it definetely isnt that clown in the crowd with the drums. Having to listen to that every week would be a turn off.

Not sure of the 2 year contract - will follow that up. Parkside did knock Davis transfer back.

With that 2nd part you just need to look at Gisborne who have won flags with 95% locals. It can be done but it is very hard.
