Yes agree quick that is runnging 17 sec per 100 metres for x 15. Lets hope that Learmonth play next year all home games at Lanberris in November and December. we have now beaten the March champion.....I think you have a tight grip on it at the moment.:D

Also the interest in maxwell seems to have wained, heard he is back training with Lakers, can anyone confirm.

Heard from the horses mouth that maxwell will be staying at Lake Wendouree for the 2007 season. Apparently it had nothing to do with money as Learmonth offered him a good deal. Learmonth you must be very disappointed to here this news?
 
Heard from quite a reliable Melbourne source over the weekend, that some of the Waubra boys have been doing a bit of BOXING training lately!!!! Apparently a likely new recruit for the roos in 2007 showed his traits in the ring!!!

Played against him when he played for Trentham and he was handy but quite inconsistent. Obviously playing in a poor side makes it hard to judge but he did bob up and kick a goal from time to time. Reasonable player.

Seemed to get in the best in the paper quite a bit this year so must be enjoying playing with a stronger team.

Learmonth have been training 3 nights a week since November 15, been getting around 20-25 players per session and are a lot fitter then at the same stage of last year. 37 players have trained so far with all the older more experienced players not required until January 22 when they start back. Learmonths facilities continue to climb, with new gym equipment to a value of $10,000 has been brought to help develop players with gaining power and size. Speed bikes have also been added to the gym to help players with leg injuries maintain there fitness.

Players that have been burning on the track are Paul Rogan who ran a 4min 18 sec 1600m, Brenton Powell, very very fit and dedicated on having another massive season, with his twin brother Shane showing great signs after a knee injury which kept him out all of last season. Jon Basham has put about 5kg on and is still as quick as ever and will be a real handful for backman and midfielders this season as he matures into a player. Have also had 6 juniors make their way up who are handling themselves very well. A few recruits also training the house down, which will be kept quiet.....

Any news from other clubs on how individuals are going

I used to live close by to him and he used to run pretty much every day. Not sure if he has an athletics background, just built like a whippet.

From what I have heard is Maxwell wont be playing football this season. Has lost interest in the game, and couldnt see him playing with lakers due to Dangles being the reason and all of his mates going to cairns.

If that is the case at the roos, It just proved the point you don't have to be quick to win a PREMIERSHIP!!! Honestly who cares whether you run fast or slow isn't it about how well you can play football!!! I have seen a lot of quality high classed country footballers that could barely run out of sight on a foggy night!!!! But they could certainly play the game to a very very high standard...

I wouldnt believe those times, and leg speed was Waubra's major asset along with their BIG forwards. There are plenty of great footballers who arnt quick, as they can read the play, and that can cover leg speed on smaller grounds and in lower leagues. Still I think everyone would love to be 1 yard quicker...

Had a look at Buninyongs ground on Monday, and it doesnt look much better then their other ground at this stage. Their facilities are ok, but not great for a new state of the art facility...could have done better in my opinion.... Will be a windy place until some trees are up!!!! Hope they installed a bore as well....

From what i have heard, many grounds will struggle to get up and going, and their will be plenty of Sunday football this year....

Heard a rumour that BFL games are going to get first rights to all grounds and CHFL get the rest. Any truth to this??

Lot of Sunday games, and BFL will play a few double headers to fit the rounds in I think.
Will be very surprised if any footy gets underway on time next year unless we see a flood in Ballarat. Only grounds that might have a chance would be the Eastern, Learmonth, and maybe a Springbank/Dunnstown/Bungaree which have access to private water supplies. Don't think the CHFL clubs will be happy or allow the BFL to take over their grounds.......
Some of the local grounds being used for cricket are a disgrace at the moment and getting very dangerous so I am told.

Learmoth are in for a big financial gain this year again as there asking price for use of oval is massive, and why not! Good on them I say.

Wont be a huge price, will be very minimal for the best interest of football and thats the way it should be. Clubs are usually only charged for training on our oval which I believe is fair. Its no clubs fault, and all sides need to band together to ensure the CHFL gets underway on time.
From what I hear Daylesford, Ballan, Dunnstown, Learmonth, Beaufort, Bungaree grounds will be up to scratch, so all sides will need to work together. Eg Gordon V Hepburn, may need to be played at Dford etc....

With the umpire situation, BFL gets 1st choice, and with not enough umpires, the CHFL administrators will have to start being more comprimising if we want umpires for all games this season..Sunday is a reality now for the CHFL, and time to move on rather then live in the dark ages and play on Saturdays only.

Who owns the Learmonth footy ground, is it the footy club or the city of ballarat? if its the footy club then i hope they make a few dollars out of it cos its a great oval 2 play on & still the spiritual home of the chfl grand final

Mighten be a huge price for you but it's big dollars for other clubs... I say why not over charge, that money couyld come in very handy to the club to keep there future bright. I bet you billy at the stag is licking his lips of the posibilty of satdy / sundy games next year at learmonth!!!
