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.

well said tud 34, i dont know about the others but Sam Sims got a bit stale at Ballan and wanted to try his luck at a higher level and good luck to him. As for you Merrigan, VERY VERY few people actually know who and what players get paid at Hepburn, and your not even remotely involved with the club! Everyone by now nows that we dont agree on this topic so name the source of your "truthful facts" and i'll give it a rest defending my club about this topic.

Enough about Hepburn. Let's get back to the more important topics - which team has the hottest netballers for instance?

So it was well said but you still want to go on with it?? Didn't he say that Hepburn are paying more money on players than everyone else in the league? I thought that claim was getting up your nose.
You are right I'm not involved at Hepburn, but maybe I'm close to someone who is.

Don't know what they are like since they merged but back in the day East Ballarat was a cut above. Quality as far as they eye can see drawing significantly larger crowds than the footballers.

Lee Greening from Gordon has just moved into our league. Can anyone reveal what sort of player he is? Ones/twos? key position/midfielder? Etc...

Cheers

I'm with you merrigan. Hepburn girls not to shabby at all. While we're on the subject of ladies I've heard around the traps that the bungaree canteen ladies are not to shabby either. !!

From what i remember, he would give you more value as a water boy or orange boy, saw him play a couple of times and he struggled to get a kick in warm ups

He wouldn't have played for a few years. Was just a shit 1's player in a shit team at Gordon. Was a shit bloke who rated himself highly.

I see Hepburn have picked up another handy player with Mick Stanley putting in for a clearance there.

We can thank the Dford football club for Hepburns recruiting frenzy! There committee was so devasted they havent been able to sleep a wink since then. I would have suggessted just go and buy a new bed as its a lot cheaper than buying a new side.

Also in the Dford advocate last week Shane Robertson was talking up a recruit from the WAFL by the name of Greg Weller. Supposedly a good CHF but no registration as of yet, so I think it may be his imaginary friend just like Sally on Home and Away with MILKO!!!!

Lee Greening also played a couple of years at springbank and did not really prove to be much at all. As for what type of player he is, well he is pretty small and probably getting on a fair bit. didn't like putting his head over the ball when the games got heated. I think he had some sought of coaching role when he was at gordon.

Well smack my ass and call me Mary. The spray tan man is having another crack at Hepburn. Whats New. The club was proud of our efforts last season and good luck to Daylesford if they were good enough to win it last year.
Talk about losing sleep....
Your coaching the only team in the history of the CHFL to not have won a Premiership yet! Spent some good cash along the way for no return, yeah yeah we bought premierships, i can hear what your thinking as you read this. Hey loyal coach, I'd be pissed off if Robbo was talking to a rival club over xmas , as you were with Daylesford ... Wonder how your club feels about your actions.... If they dont mind their coach doing that, then maybe thats a good reason why they havnt won a flag yet.
You have been talking up your club for 3 seasons now, time to put up or shut up, the pressure is on, dont lose any sleep will you. i bet Hepburn wont be.

Well Mary thats a very good come back. Going by your previous posts I wouldn't have thought you had the intelligence to put that together but I have a new found respect for you now. (don't worry it won't last forever) Well done.

Hear, hear

[Off Season]

Well its not tomorrow but Daylesford have a praccy against Clunes next week.

Mmmm, as much as i hate to say it, this game could produce an ugly scoreline for clunes.

Although is it fair to say that D'ford are currently nowhere near last year's premiership side?

Timmy you would think after all these years of coping it from every opposition team and their supporter base you would have developed a way to handle and deal with others opinions. If you read what is written and listen to what is been said not all talk about hepburn has negative connotations. In fact there are many people whom respect what they have done in raising the bar in the CHFL. But it is a way of life that over a long period of time Hepburn has developed a reputation that will be hard to dispose of. This has developed mainly from the supporter base and the way they go about supporting your team. Good on Hepburn for raising the funds and putting together a quality list, but 30 plus years of a particular behaviour type leaves a lasting impression. So when you dominate a forum like this defending hepburn against every little suggestive comment, remember why others out have these opinions...

By the way Timmy, you will be pissed to know that robbo did talk to another club after last season ............100%

I have no problem with what you just said and totaly agree with your thoughts.... My only gripe is if people want to bag us, get the info at least somewhere near the truth.... you on the other hand at least made a lot of sense.... As for Robbo, yes he did would have spoke to more than one club over the break, he gets harrased by clubs every year, a lot of coaches do. He said no to them on the phone. WHAT he didn't do was sit down in a meeting with them and go over the finer points of what the club is all about. Whoever told you differently is trying to big note themselves.

 

[timmy 32]

Well its not tomorrow but Daylesford have a praccy against Clunes next week.

Big news going around the town at the moment is that Daylesfords newly appointed coach Darren McColl has been sacked and Luke Adams has taken over the reigns, does anyone know anymore ?

 

[Trooper4]

So here we go guys. Last week before the season starts. all praccy's have been played pre-seasons are over and done with.

How will the ladder finish up at the end of the year?

and what are everyones tips for round 1?

 

[Young Tyro]

wat is the go with clinton ward signing up with learmonth, tell me this is not true. That bloke is an absolute gun, how starnaud would let him go has got me stuffed. If that little p!ssant mino hines has got anything to do with this there is going to be trouble just cause he could not get a game with the starnaud two's he has to go and poach players from his original club. Very low! He still can not take in that his brother ben runs rings around him.
