If I recall Venner palyed at Newlyn and won them a Premiership off his own boot

He would be getting alot more then $600 per game at Hoppers Xing.
Not sure if they still want him after an incident that took place last year.

What incident is that...he seems to have had a few hic ups with clubs. Was speaking to him at work last year, and had a run in with the Lakers over a pegola...Dodgy deals that arnt put in contract can come back to bite you. Agree alot more then 600, which means he wouldnt travel for any less. U guys from Ballan are kidding yourself, if you dont think ya spending massive $$$ on short term success. I guess all these guys will only train once a week as well../??

 

[learmonth]

Well we know why Learmonth's grounds looking so good
It's well fertilized "with Bullsh*t"

Well if u dont think its true........Just wait a few years or even next when all these players disappear because their is no more BIG $$$ to pay their house loans.....

First comment Dogtalk, would have expected something a little more intellectual from you... Im guessing your one of those 25 yo's at Ballan primary,..???

At least they teach spelling and grammar at Ballan Primary Tony, something that you obviously never learnt.
Sorry I didn't mean to upset you with the character and morals comment, but I was only relaying what the former Ballan president told me. Seems he has time for your brother but not for you. Can't imagine why. Back to the mirror shi t dribbler.

I think your wrong their helmut, if you said who you were, then maybe you might be able to get some credibilty with your comments. But i guess your not man enough to state who you are.. Barry Sims is the ex president and I think your comments are complete fabrication with evertyhing you have written.

Send me through a private message of your name, and ill put it to barry if thats exactly what he said, which i dont belive, or are you going to hide behind your key board and not be man enough.

Ballan are chasing after Andrew Venner pretty hard from Hoppers crossing and a former Lake Wendouree player. Can certainly play the game but I know for a fact that he wont come for anything for under $600.

This is from a reliable source, former ballan president and the reason why he quit...Believes Scotty is killing the club
M.Scott $15K non playing coach
Mullane Grant 800 p/game
Uhi 700 p/game
Heir 600 p/game
Cartledge 500 p/game
Watts 500 p/game
Wills (New) 500 p/game
Sacco (New) 400 p/game
Collier (New) 300 p/game

That equals $88100 already + Venner on top of that and another mate of Mullan-Grants from Geelong. Will be roughly 100k for the year. Lets hope they win it, because there will be some lean years to come afterwards... A few committee people are very worried...... Still looking at their list, cant see them being top 3..... Still dont have a backline, and struggle on bigger grounds.
Nothing better then playing against a BANK!!!Because when you ask for some interest (players) from them, you sure wont get it.

Learmonth u seem to be very quick to jump all over Ballan about who they have picked up and how much they r being paid. Why don't u let on how much Learmonth r paying for their "GUN" recruits like Lockett who was playing 2nd's at North City and McGuigan who went missing in the finals against Redan when it got tough! And while your at it tell us how much the great AJ is Draining out of the club for his own average performances.

 

[dogtalk]

No 1 player wins a premiership, No matter how good that player is... It take's a number of individuals working together as a team to get a team to a Grand final and to win a premiership, not individual's out for themselves. The 2003 Newlyn Team worked well as a Team all season that's what got them the Premiership... Venner only played half that season so how you can say he won them the Premiership off his own boot is beyond me

For AJ the story is --- If they win flag upto $20,000, if not $15,000 thats if he trains as they only play if you train. only he could say that this is there abouts.
Where did he finish in club B & F last year?

Agree venner had a huge impact that day. He can play half a season as the other 8 sides are ordinary.

It makes refference to an incident on the Western Region Footabll team Thread.( In DECEMBER)
A Hoppers Player told me on the piss it was Venner.

You will find that Hehir is playing at Myrtleford in the O&M league this year so they have saved $600 a game already.

Not 100% sure, but he did finish in top 10 (5-10), polled 2nd most votes in league medal to sobey for Learmonth, and did miss 5 games for the year with his ankle.

Not 100% sure! Simply, how much is in the envelope you get each week?

That's right, but why would Beacham let a minor matter like the truth stand in the way of his bullshi t stories. According to him everyone in Ballan is dumb, at least they're not dishonest like him. All he does on here is tell everyone how good he thinks he is and bag other clubs and players. He makes Tom Mullane-Grant out to be a mercenary by claiming he is on 800 a game when the truth is he is on nothing like it and he is playing for less this season than last. Family ties are the reason he came to the club in the first place. Watts has knocked back plenty of offers from other clubs over the last few years to remain at Ballan on a lot less than the 500 that dic khead says he is on. He talks about players changing clubs every couple of years, Wills and Collier have played at Sebas for about 15 years but their names get dragged through the mud as well. Beacham would probably need to take his shoes and socks off to count the number of clubs he's been at, given that he would only be able to use one hand as the other one is wrapped around his c ock most of the time. Learmonth will eventually wake up that the 25k they are paying him is nowhere near the trouble. He doesn't have the respect he claims to have, don't anybody take his or my word for it, ask some of the locals and judge for yourself.

 

[Duck Hunter]

There has been a massive rise in payments to players/coaches over the last couple of years. I personally don't agree with the rise in expenditure but if that is the case all payments need to be made relevant to the current situation. If the rumours of coaching payments (Robertson 30K, Scott 10-15K, Reid 20K, New Gordon Coach 12K) are true then AJ would sit very comfortably at 15K given that he brings professionalism, presence and leadership on the field and he can play the game.
Ive have heard the Simon Eason is the lowest paid coach in the comp (10-12K) and he has a lot of qualities and he would be a bargain at that price in this current CHFL pay scale
Remember that these figures are all specualtion and only a couple of people at each club would know the real answers!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Don't Argue]

Hey can anyone give me a rundown on these players going to Skipton,
- Warren Finlayson (Beaufort)
- Matthew George (Dunnstown)
- Brett Conroy (Dunnstown)
- Jarrad Williamson (Bunningyong)

Also there is Cameron Brown guy for North City. Just wondering wheter you guys know anything about him. The talk is that he is on massive money and he is supposed to be a good replacement for Fletcher.

Cameron Brown is the older brother of Nathan & Mitch Brown who were drafted to Collingwood and WCE this season. Is tall, but not sure how he plays. Wouldnt say he is on massive $$ but will be an asset, but not in the calibre of Fletcher at this stage of his career.

Any idea on the others?

Finlayson is definately keen to leave with a few of his mates. Beaufort trained with Skipton a couple of times last year so thats where he gets his ties i guess. Pretty sure his first clearence was knocked back from Beaufort though. They would be keen to retain as many players as they can im guessing.

Brown is big and goes ok but nothing special. Not sure if he is worth massive coin but doesn't surprise that he will leave for it. Will have a hard time getting cleared from City!

Brett Conroy is a tough 21 year old player. Doesnt have the silkiest skills in the world, but works hard. He captained an CHFL Under 18 combine side that played against and aboriginal side a few years ago.

 

[the_don88]

OK, nothing special, but did play in a side that got flogged most weeks.
will be more helpful in a better side though. good size, bout 6, 1 or 2, played CHB for the majority of the year.

Tud you have been very quiet lately on what is going on at Gordon! Can you give any hints on what players the eagles have landed for this season?
