I can all but confirm that Sacco will coach Newlyn next year with Shane 'Wizza' Edwards (ex-sebas) as his assistant.

Reid should kick 50 easily for Bunga next year. With a top midfield he's bound to get endless opportunities. Remember Seiz kicked about 70 last year. The key forward in the top 5 teams should be kicking at least 50. Alot will depend on where he plays, if he plays CHF then 40 odd goals is a pretty fair return.
Has Nicholson signed with Waubra? all the talk seems to point that way. I heard he's living with a couple of the Waubra players, this may be a major reason if true for him heading to the roos.

I was told today that Sacco was likely to line up with Ballan along with a couple of former Sebas team mates. Didn't get any names but I assume one of those would be Wills as that has been flagged on here. Anybody in the know? Helmut maybe?

Gee how much money are Ballan spending? Are Ballan in danger of importing too many and upsetting their locals in the future?
Heard the same thing. He is supposed to be going with wills, and ben collier aswell.
Yeah reid should kick 50 goals, but he is still nowhere near as good as everyone is pumping him up to be. Once you get the better backmen on him such as veldhuis and reeves on him he will struggle
Totally agree, has played in such a well drilled unit for years, it will be a very different game style that he will have to adapt too. Im sure he is capable of it, but it may take time to adapt.
Have heard on the Grapevine that the Daylesford Bulldogs have signed a guy by the name of Dwayne Schashiginni, clever half forward flanker, who is sure to add strength around the contest this season...Any truth to that Cruasader.
With Ballan, Scotty doesnt care, he has wrecked every club he has been too, after short term glory (Which he wont get) and does not look at the best interest of the club. Could see plenty of locals getting upset, as these type of recruits wont be there for ever!!!
Think strategically Ballan..??? Helmut whats your opinion on this..??
Buninyong seem to be very quiet, anyone heard about them. Heard they have already strated Pre-season..???

They've signed "Jughead" Porter from Carnham, if his knee pulls up alright after the reco he be dangerous up forward for them.
Just on Reid, a good example was the Colonial Molloy this year. After having it speared down his throat during his time at Redan he didn't dominate the LPFL as expected. He still was clearly a very good player and had a reasonable year, although he didn't kick the goals that was expected of him dropping back to a weaker league. Reid may find he'll be the centre of attention from every coach, he'll have the best defender, plus flankers floating into his space. He's been a bit lucky in his time at Redan because of blokes like Molloy and Walsh and Jones taking away the best defenders.
The best thing about Reid is his ability to create a contest, he hits it hard has made blokes like Barker and co's crumbing job easier. If your a Bunga forward flanker or pocket this year you should be rapped, just get front and centre and he'll either mark it or give you an easy crumb.
I agree with people on here saying him may struggle a bit - for the above reasons. Taking nothing away from him though, he's a class act.

Where has he coached in the past Learmonth?
Dwayne Scashighini is a sure thing. only weakness in his game is that he cant kick, take a mark or handball, and is very timid. other than that he is a gun. Learmonth you know better than that. Crazy talk. Whats the latest on mcguigen.heard he is a sure thing but wants a fair bit of cash.
If I was Learmonth, I'd fork out the cash for McGuigan... He will be the difference on how far you want to go this year. It has been over 50 years Learmonth???
From my collection, He has coached at Bacchus Marsh, Sebastopol, Learmonth and Ballan (Think Nth Ballarat may be in that.???). Im sure there would be others! I class him as the Kevin Sheedy of the CHFL
Not sure at this stage..??? but im sure he will be offered what he is worth, and after the last 3 season he has had (Rookie of Year, R/Up league medallist & BFL team of the Year) he could ask for the township of learmonth. In my opinion, I believe he will play back with his mates/brother at learmonth.
I have heard first hand from him that he will be going out there, and he is definately worth spending the good money. He has proven himself as a very classy central highlands onballer and with a year of BFL football he will have gained extremely valuable experience at the higher level.

Agree with comment, but has he proven anything at BFL level in one season? Much the same sort of discussion as earlier on this thread with Nicholson?
McGuigan is a classy player though and worth throwing a few coins at. I am sure Gordon would still be spewing that club legend Noel McGuigan took his two sons with him to the pub at Learmonth.
Any news on Gordon at this stage?

Scotty is pretty awesome. He knows his footy.
Has he proved anything??? Mate, he kicked 60+ goals, team of the year, close to on of the best in finals, apart from GF (Pitt killed him). Did you play against him this year?
I dont know how you can possibly put Nicholson in McGuigans class..... Its like taking Jade Rawlings over a Matthew lloyd for Full forward.>???
Heard last night that Mcguigan had spoken to Fisher and has signed at learmonth. Massive gain to an already impressive midfield. Training starts tonight at Learmonth with all the boys pretty keen to make amends for last season.
