They have been officially changed to 4 x 20 min quarters. Pretty sure Bungarees v Creswick, and Waubra v Hepburn games were 4 x 20. Not sure about the others...
Old School Biff
Team Captain
Learmonth made the call last week that he would have trouble with getting reported.
U would think, by reducing the quarters then they would reduce the number of interchange from 4 to 3. Whats the use of giving your 22nd best player 1/2 a game when he can play a full game in the two's.
Certainly will stop a lot of blow outs, Heard the dford V Gordon game was 25mins, which suggestd the scores as well as the D'Town V Buningyong game. Also the kick in rule has changed as well. U can kick in as soon as you get the ball... Will keep coaches awake with having to change zones etc.

Learmonth was spot on the money with this one! Got reported for head high contact and got into an argument with Robbo on the boundary. Ripped off his jumper and told the club to stick the footy up their arse. Returned only to try and knock people out. Struggled a lot, but can apparently play the game so we won't judge a man on one performance. Only thing is- will we see him again or has he spat the dummy??
Also facing the tribunral is Nathan Sachse from learmonth, central umpire paid a free kick from 10meters away, whilst the goal umpire reported him from about 50 meters away and plenty of players between him and the incident. Will be intersting to see how it goes. Wonder if your able to call the central umpire as a witness to stae in his eyes from that distance it was only a free kick.
On Shepherd, not a good start, but the way the game is played now days, any forceful, unwarrented contact will result in a report. he needs to change his style. Couldnt see him leaving as he is a contracted player, and would find it hard to leave. Only place he would go would be Castlemaine...
Did Seiz play, didnt see him amongst the goals..???
Someone said their was a bloke filming the game not too far from where the incident occurred. I'm not sure what club the guy was from though...maybe it was the local news. It would be interesting to get a look at the footage if it is decent.
Off Season
Senior List
I was at the game and although Kane was good, he was not the difference. A poor second quarter by Clunes (9 Springbank goals to 1 from memory) was the only thing that stopped a young Magpies squad getting on the winners' list.
That and a cpl absolute shocking decisions from the umpires. Can't use that as an excuse tho, it was that bad it probably evened up throughout the match.
Is that Nathan Sachse- ex Donald and Rupanyup player. I thought that he was assistant coach of Rupanyup?? If so a bloody great pick up. Has played VCFL and will carve up in Central Highlands.
Seiz apparently playing in Melbourne this year. Has work there. What makes you think Shepherd is contracted?? Hardly any clubs contract players now days. If he was to leave, yes he would go to Castlemaine i would presume. Peake and Lachy Brown there who are ex Hepburn players
i got to the game between daylesford and gordan on saturday and all though they may have had an extra 5 mins each quarter, daylesford looked real good, i think they will take some beating this year, with the players they already had and the new ones has just toped them up from last year, and i heared there b/f of last year had a run in the twos so they will only get better.

Porter's still recovering from a knee op, i thought that was common knowledge? Wont be playing till mid season most likely

Goal umpires shouldn't be able to report a player at all in my opinion. I just don't think their intelligent enough. Considering most of their training consists of perfecting the technique of pointing a finger and practicing their 6 times tables

Uncle CC who are you kidding, the coaches dad films the game.
Just cause you played well, you might want to get a copy.
Shepherd was disappointing, he needs to change his way as this not good. He redeemed himself later with his tackle on mcdonld.
Will be interesting next time around. no one else will get within 10 goals Waubra, who wre missing about 4 good players.

Tud34.... will Gordon win a game this season? That is a shocking scoreline for a round 1 game when everyone is fit and keen for the new season?

I heard he had a meeting with Bannockburn on Sat night & has signed the clearance, Apparently he hasn't been getting along with Scotty for a while now.

At the tribunral last night Brendan Shephedr was given 2 weeks, whilst Nathan Sachse was delayed due to the goal umpire not being there and will be heard next week. Is right to play this week, in a weird decision.....
That is massive news..??? U would think the committee would try and rectify this problem, too good of a player to lose, especially since Uhi & Cartledge didnt play on the weekend. Any news on those two guys....
Looking at the draw, you boys would have to be pretty happy with that Learmonth?
Hepburn have really been shafted with their draw this year...Waubra, Bungaree & Learmonth to start the season.

Yes certainly a bit of a hiding in round one. Don't see much light at the end of the tunnel for the eagles. Tud34 have you(the club) managed to make in-roads in changing the culture out there and trying to get that disciplined culture that brings success?

Yeah Scobes had a run in the 2's along with about 5 other regular senior players from last year. That was probably D'ford's undoing last year (lack of depth) but this year they look to have plenty of 2's players who can step up and play seniors
Is it true that the Gordan team got a massive spray at half time and the coach told the paid players that they weren't worth $3.00 between them?
