Between 1995 and 2007 Old Xaverians played in 11 Grand Finals in the VAFA A Grade competition. They won the flag six seasons in a row between 1995 and 2000 and were also premiers in 2003, 2005 and 2007. They were runners-up in 2002 and 2006 and failed to play in the grand final in only 2001 and 2004. That's nine flags from 11 grand finals in 13 seasons. Pretty impressive. Old Xavs finished third in 1993 and 1994 as they warmed up for the next decade.
During that dominant era they have also won four Reserves premierships and six Under 19 flags.
Note that this was the amateurs too.
Do they spend money? Every other ammo club would say they do but even if they do it's not going to be anything like what is rumoured to be spent by many country clubs and the standard is as high as the best VCFL major leagues.

Heard the so called big guns at hepburn had a hit out against North City todayand did quite well. Anyone confirmation on outcome and how did there star recruits perform ??
Hepburn dominated all day and looked far too quick. A bit hard to gauge though, not sure if Hepburn are that strong or North City still have a long way to go. Peake hasnt lost any of his pace and Dillon is a real hard nut. Big Shep kicked about 8 and was rested in the last quarter. Sam Newton was running water and Ross Mann was also rested.

Is the Chief still having a kick or has he finally woke up to himself and pulled the pin.

I hear Dunnstown have signed a gun recruit called Andrew Blackwood. Very versatile player who can play ruck or forward. Although the kid can play he cant kick, I probably haven't seen anyone kick a footy that bad since my days in the under 12's. Can mark a ball though. Dunnstown look as though they might show further improvement this year!
i have known Chief now for 13 years and i wouldn't say that to him, so don't hide behind a computer and be sarcastic.
He has been a fantastic clubman for Hepburn, went there in 1996 for one season and still hasn't left yet. Lives over an hour away and travels each week to play and train. He was another one rested on Saturday, was there watching and yes he will be playing again in 2008.
Hope that you run into him in the street in the near future and you can tell him your thoughts face to face.

What's with the aggressiveness? I'm sure the mexican was simply being tongue in cheek, and if not, how would you know for sure?
No need to get so defensive on here every time soomeone says something that is not entirely positive about Hepburn. Just live with the fact that they're not a well liked club - rightly or wrongly - and move on.
yep thats fair enough.... i know that we are the most hated club in the league, got no problems with that. But reading some of the dribble that has been written about Hepburn on this site over the past few seasons starts to wear a bit thin. outsiders have no idea how the club operates so dont get snakey if i dissagree and give a few truthful facts back along the way. [eg most succesful club etc etc] always happy to cop criticism just make sure it's accurate when you give it.
What part of Fat Mexicans post was criticism you paranoid peanut? The worst dribble thats been written about Hepburn on here has come from you nut bag.

Champ ease off I have known the bloke for a long time and would be happy to say it to his face, and don't worry about hiding behind the key board I used to jump in the square circle with him when he could still move so I know how that goes.
Dribble about Hepburn??? seems u know all about that
I don't think I am the only one that is sick of reading the back and forth posts about Hepburn. I think everyone knows that Hepburn are spending more money on players than everyone else in this league. It has been happening for some time now and will continue to happen.
They have a committee made up of businessman and are in a position to turn over more money than most other smaller country clubs. (especially with their very successful raffle each year and their client base that always buy a ticket)
It is up to the other clubs within the League to work harder to try and get better value for money with their players than Hepburn and use their strenghs to do so (location / facilities / culture / mates / etc)
Waubra did it (premiership and runners up) and Daylesford did it last year (although I dont know how much they paid players)
Lets move on.
Anyone got any word on why some of the previously loyal players within a few of the clubs in this league are moving to other clubs?
Glen Handley - Clunes
Chris O'keefe - Bungaree
Danny Mullane / Sam Sims - Ballan
Michael Page - Creswick
Jimmy Rushton - Waubra
just to name a few.

That equals $3,600 a week for 4 players. I know that the smaller clubs wouldn't spend that on their whole side!!
Fair playing field? Me thinks not. Bring back the salary cap.

that equates to around $60,000 for the season just for those players, let alone anyone else, which in the old days would've smashed the salary cap...
do the hot springs in hepburn spew out dollar coins? if these estimates are anywhere close to the mark thats a lot of cash to deal out, sponsors must be going very well, who forks out all this?
I heard around 4 years ago a GFL club spent around $100,000 for the season, including a non-playing coach, but the club owns poker machines so that would account for where most of the cash comes from...
