I remembered mine Rooty. Bit of info going around about a cuppla matters:- i/. Name of country footy identity who laid down the "Mounts could beat Flat and Maine" statement is becoming better and more widely known around the traps. Word is he's involved in the media right across town --- maybe...

MCDFL report in the (Bgo) Addy is supplied. KR and E2G and I have had similar correspondence on this blog before. Maxwell Martin used to supply the paper's pre-match previews and the post-match write-ups. In the days before computers and mobile phones --- how did we get thru' a working week in...

HOW did our tips work out, Stevie A. I see K. Rich could be sidelined with an ankle injury and his Botter Boys are languishing around 7th spot on the senior ladder.

THAT was Jock Clark One you're referring to Maxy and boys. He was fired up last Sat. night but reasonably careful not to bag Mounts. Last night Jock and the DartieFile were worked up about BFL clubs holding onto young netballers or making sure they couldn't -- or wouldn't --- go to other clubs...

IF Axel Collins is going around at CHB or similar for the Meanie Machine, who, apart from Ashman, is there to kick the goals for the Bridgey boys ???

DOONA --- Frankie Burke won the BFL Rookie of the Year award way back in the early 90s I think it was. Bennie Sexton won it also, but a few seasons after that. Don't know why the Bendigo League wound that award up. Some marvellous players won it over the years, but I have a feeling Leigh...

THE bloke in the No. 26 blue and gold Square jumper I know is actually "Anthony Holdstock". How come the new forumer's moniker has been reduced to "Tony Holdstock". Then again you might say the broadcast bloke is Jock Clark One. Touche.

THE Frisky Goat, backpocketbattler, The Wombat and a cast of dozens would have seen the Gissy-Kyneton game. Cooky's boys would have sorely missed Bradley Else. The little fella hasn't played yet and we're 2 rounds in. Hurst has a mile of work to do. Big blokes Thornton and Cozens didn't do much...

MONSIEUR S. Addlem, my tips Brook over Avoca .... by quite a little bit, I'm going to say Talbot to go DOWN to the Apple Pressers Likewise, Dunolly to succumb to Newstead Campbell's Creek no match for Rovers What's the other one . If it's Bushy versus Trentham, inclined to go for Trentham...

RICH ... everythink hunky-dory at Talbot ? Big discrepancy in Sat. score, but I reckon you'll say Talbot was playing one of 2008's Top Three. Still, teams have to beat those above them at some stage to give credibility to spectators (and casual observers) that they have the goods.

OH DEAR, Davis/PT and others: Cooky's Tiges have their 3rd big assignment in as many weeks. Kyneton has played the 07 grand finalists in the opening 2 weeks. Now comes the Square, fresh from an absolute shellacking of the Hurst in the rain Sat. nite. The Country Vet Dogs have plenty of...

LOOK back at my post #7113, Davis. I gave the young Kyneton side a bit of credit for their performance against the Eaglehawk machine last Sat. The fact that the Tiges kicked the 1st 3 goals of the last quarter when they were a long way behind proved they have quite a bit of spirit.

RICH, Shermo and MCDFL forumers --- how are things shaping administratively under the Ballarat hub ? Maxwell Martin and Co. have been put out to pasture. I don't think Maxwell even bothers with the 5.50 pm Saturday ring to radio with the MCDFL footy and netball scores any more.:eek:

GISSIE-based boys r being a touch hard on the Kyneton Tiger Cubbies. They tried hard and had a crack last Sat. Admittedly Cameron Tate was far and away their best, but a couple of the younger guys looked OK. With Cookie, Brad Else and Jock Allan back this week they'll be better again. Hands up...

OK guys ..... tips for Round 1 due in. And assessment about the Creek's prospects under Walshie this season.

TUCKY .... Brendan Hehir (note spelling) is the bloke's name. Been around a bit. Maybed 8 or 9 clubs the country footy writers at the Melb. metro dailies tell us. But the bloke can play. Only 180 cm tall he booted 100 goals for North Albury one season in the O and M F.L. Might be around the...

GOOD effort from Reaps to kick 100+ in 2000. He sat out Round 1 that year because his clearance from Kyneton hadn't come through. Reaps spent the first round that season --- Gis. vs. the Tigers --- sitting in the Gardiner Reserve coaches box, wearing his new Gisborne jacket. Needless to say the...

THAT's not too bad. At least the league starts the season with a few coins in the piggy bank.

I BELIEVE Reaps kicked the ton of goals in the BFL four times. In 2000, finals tallies included, three f-f snagged 100 goals or more. From C'maine Ollie got 135 for the season, Hollywood Dave Lancaster from the Flat finished with 111 and Reaps, in his 1st season at Gisborne, got 104. Reaps got...

ANYONE able to shed any light on the capabilities of ex-Newstead big man Mark Ramsey (or Ramsay). Maine coach Elliott has recruited him, apparently impressed by the form Ramsey showed against Elliott's old MCDFL club during the 07 season. Print media reports describe Ramsey as a big man ...

ANYONE know much about one of the Maine's newest recruits. Guy named Mark Ramsey (or Ramsay) who could be a ruckman to assist Guy Marshall or maybe a key possy player. Goat .... can you shed any light on this player ?? Culpitt we already know a bit about.

Bomber08 .... u must be very confident. From what I saw during the 07 finals series it would be a line ball. On the Marong scene how are their footy prospects shaping up for 2008 ?

CASTLEMAINE will be expecting a big season. 2009 marks their 150th anniversary celebrations so they'll want a solid run-up to that in this season's matches. Eaglerhawk Gisborne South Bendigo Golden Square Castlemaine Sandhurst Maryborough Kyneton K Flat Oh yeah, Goatey. The Gliders to...

WiLL be interesting all right, Zakling. Morris and his team have already got a Midnight to Dawn segment all pencilled in, hosted from the Bendigo studio at 150 Strickland, East Bendigo. How long since we have had a hosted, live graveyard shift on 89.5 FM ? Going to get one next month, judging on...

SPOT on Zakkee. I'd say Morris and Co. have got quite a line-up ready to go. How long since we've had a Midnight to Dawn show. hosted from the Benders studio, on 89.5 FM. Looks like Morris has that one all pencilled in, according to the full page report in Friday's Bendigo giveaway. Sports panel...

HOW many recruits will 'Bovver Boy' Barnard drag to Inglewood. It's reported he'll play just 6 LVFL games because of work commitments with the Essendon F.C. Don't think Paul made too many friends when he was the Bendigo Bombers general manager. Might have wrenched a few noses out of joint, just...

Maxwell Martin might be placed in the ageing bracket by some MCDFL thread posters. But he's been an enormously loyal and hard-working servant of the league for decades. In the old days before the era of instant electronic communications many a cadet reporter has stood expectantly on the...

CLUBS should do OK from BFL dividends posted at AGM this week. Around 5K each with maybe a little extra for each once auditor has assessed what other $$$$ are to flow in from unpaid bills. Auditor did take club reps. through the financial pages. Lightning Premiership as a season starter still...

BRIAN Walsh won Bendigo FL Michelson medal in 1969 (aged 18 y.o) when playing for Sandhurst. Then played for Carlton and Essendon before coaching career took off. After terms at Fitzroy and Werribee noted above, coached Sandhurst to 1985 BFL grannie (lost to Nthn. United). Then transferred to G...

ORTON will be a serious loss, Dazz. What about Tate and Ruffell, though ?? Those 2 blokes kicked the Tiges home to a win at Dower Park mid-winter. Not a huge result you wouldn't think beating the Rooers. Still a win is a win. Without Tate and Ruffell however the Yellow and Blacks wouldn't have...
