[hawks&proud]

Hawks&proud, I didn't know you had a doctorate in English Literature.
You youself have been known to speak a whole new language yourself after a few drinks!!!
Will the Wimmera league have to move many games to Sundays to utilise the better grounds like Ararats oval???
Any comments from anyone??

that's rich coming from you mr luvva i heard the taps are getting turned off at ararat oval this weekend, will be interesting to see how it holds up from then on

The Bid V where the Horsham Hornets basketball side plays have been video taping all games for the last five 5 and probably longer I know the court size is smaller but it is part of being in the Big V affiliation. Not video cannot play you even have to provide stats

Has anybody heard the rumour that uniteds J Combe has done his knee and needs a reco.
Also wondering wether mick fratin is actually returning to ararat or they club are just talking it up to try and recruit more players so they can field a ressies team?
See that stawell are travelling along alright, think they might suprise a few teams this season.
The burras will alos be strenghtend with the inclusion of the mercurial Garth Mckenzie joing his borther fatty on there recruit list. Dont think they picked anyone else up but heard ruckman nathan hinch is know staying put.

Haven`t heard anything about combe but i know Jye Smith came off a motorbike last weekend and hurt his knee not sure of severity.

 

[The Mad Hawker]

Just starting the Rumour that past players Stewart Williamson of the Ararat / St mary's fame and Colin Thompson of the Moyston / Ararat fame are in secret training to make a come back to help the struggling side field a team

Thompson has been seen putting in the hard yards at the pool and Williamson has been on the treadmill......

Must be true....

Hot news off the press.......

Ararat FC have just signed a new sponsorship deal from Heinz Pumpkin soup on the back of the press release that Brendan "Pumpkin Head" Scott has agreed to pull the boots on again.

It is thought that he will play full back and stand in the goal square and put his head in the road.... if only they could get Shaun "Notso" Smart to reconsider and they would have the perfect pair.....

 

[MightyRoar]

Have heard that Shaun NUGGET Smart is packing up his tent and heading west to be by his brother.Good luck to him is a good player.

Yes I have also heard this rumour too, however not quite sure who his brother is out there that you made mention of!!

Word on the street is clinton midgley will kick very few goals this year as he has a new love interest and has been sighted at family functions, this is from a credable source and i am led to believe he has been missing training to hang with this lovely lass, can anyone confirm this?

Any details on the lass, body type? Eye colour? Dimensions? This would be a diamond in the rough for Clinton after some of his efforts in Western Australia

Any news on how Laharum went against horsham have heard that prizbilla has pulled the pin for 07 legs cant run anymore.

Any news on any other trials.

 

[rabbitlad]

This is apparently correct, also heard the big man was looking at his options to re-locate to warrak and work for elders, also possibility of being one of mark greigs gun recruits in a bid to consolidate his love for this young lass!!!!!!!

Can anyone confirm the movements of clinton midgley i find it hard to believe that he would leave the burra for the eagles over a female?

United play St.Arnaud Min/Mur play Nor/Quanny

 

[Andyt30]

United play St.Arnaud Min/Mur play Nor/Quanny

then i think the following weekend Min/Murtoa travles to Ballarat to play Ballarat city

 

[Drop_Punt]

Min/Mur beat Nor/Quanny in from wat i hear was a very close game. unsure as how close but have from good source that either min/mur will struggle this year or nor/quanny are lookin at been in the top 3 at least if not be on top.

Horsham and Laharum had a good game with horsham running out easy winners in the end they were just to consistant, Laharum had times when they would be on top for 5 minutes but they couldnt maintain it due to horshams constant pressure. Was only one game played that went for 4 quaters

Horsham look young and fit very fit and will be very hard to beat again this year. i was wondering on ppl's thoughts on who will match them this yr, based on the local rags back page on friday Dimmy will be good again and from word around the place stawell have picked up a few and will do well.

Just a couple of pre season tips
Flag Horahm
Runner up Stawell
Biggest improver united
biggest fall ararat
League B&F Aaron Barrnet (horsham)

Sounds about right drop punt but if stawell end up r/up then surely they would be biggest improver, i have heard they will be pretty strong aswell and i think dimmy will be alright again but there depth will be average.

I also heard from a good source M/M won comfortably (about 8 goals) however, apparently in general play it was quite even. Which would sound about right if the rumours true they fronted without Carter, Wilson, Smith (all club b&f winners) Hynes, McKenzie, Rouwoldt, J.Newell, Delahunty, Storey and a few other names that dont come to mind that will be in their starting 18 come round 1.
