Anyone care to discuss some of the signings at your VFL club for season 2008?

At Werribee we have signed four players who were on AFL rookie lists last year in Michael West (Western Bulldogs), Peter Hardy (Port Adelaide), Lachlan McKinnon (Essendon) and Ben Sharp (West Coast Eagles).

Matt Quigley from Rupertswood (VAFA) has also been signed.
 
At the Bullants the signings I know about are David Teague and Matthew Lappin from Carlton as well as Ash Hockey from the TAC Cup (forgot who though). The first two would be expected to place inside the top 3 in the best and fairest, whilst Hockey will be hoping to cement a place in the seniors. However Ross Young has gone to the WAFL, Digby Morell followed Barry Mitchell to Box Hill, Anthony Raso left for Frankston, Josh houlihan got a better offer from a Diamond valley team as well as Dylan Mclaren and Justin Crowe going somewhere. It looks like being a long season for the Bullants.
 
These are the only confirmed signings for Collingwood
- Nigel Carmody
- Tim Walsh (Bulldogs)
- Justin Crowe

Apparently these guys are also 'definates'
Shane McDonald - Bonbeach
Ryan Colbert Old - Xavs
Brad Jones - Eastern Ranges
Ben Considine - Calder Cannons

and these guys are likely to be signed - training with us

James Saville - Calder Cannons
Daniel Frost - Scorpions
George Dick - Old Scotch
Jeremy Mugavin - Geelong Falcons

Saad Saad was rumoured to signed but apparently the deal didn't go through at all and has signed for another suburban side. Also rumoured that Daniel Nicholls ex Collingwood rookie will join the team. Other players that have trained with the team include Kris Pendlebury.

all these guys are on $1000 a week
 
There's a page dedicated to where the AFL delistees will be playing in the current edition of Inside Football and a number of them will be plying their trade in the VFL this year.

There have already been a few mentioned in this thread and also on other forums, so I thought I would only post up some that I haven't seen posted elsewhere.

Stephen Owen (Geelong)- North Ballarat
Sam Gibson (Hawthorn rookie)- Box Hill
Matt Little (Hawthorn)- Williamstown
Daniel Hughes (Melbourne rookie)- Sandringham
Heath Neville (Melbourne)- Tasmania
Daniel McConnell (Kangaroos)- North Ballarat
Nathan Batsanis (Port Adelaide rookie)- Box Hill
Alex Lee (Port Adelaide rookie)- Frankston
James Wall (St Kilda rookie)- Casey Scorpions
Jonathan Simpkin (Sydney)- Geelong

two of these definites did not get picked to plqay in the practice match on the weekend, considine and jones. does this change the way things are seen?

I don't think so.

There are still some practice matches to be played before the lists needs to be submitted to VFL administration.

Former Brisbane Lions rookie, Jake Furfaro, who played at Werribee from 2005-7 has had his clearance request to AFLQ Mt Gravatt rejected.
 
Justin Sweeny from casey scorpions / stkilda

80 grand contract at Poowong in the Ellinbank and district football league, job house to live in and a car.
 
Werribee's reserves will be coached by former Williamstown and Werribee Troy Mitchell, who returns to the club after a stint coaching Lara in the Geelong FL.

Matt Power also returns to the club in an assistant coaching role.

The Tigers have lost former Western Jet Ryan Closter, who has decided to ply his trade in the GFL.

Geez... that's a fair deal.

Read in Inside Footy that he was at Poowong, but wasn't sure what sort of a deal he was on.
 
Can anyone give us a rundown on the Sandringham - Port Melbourne match played yesterday?
Who won, played well?
Who are Port's big named recruits?
Who are on the Coaching staff at Port this season?
Cheers

port first and seconds won,corey mcgrath was best on ground.

gary ayres is the new coach replacing ghazi who was the worst coach ever for the burra just slightly ahead of david dunbar and ian collins.

ghazi is now coach of willy seconds which still might be too high for him.
