Central Murray FL Discussion 2025

Nyah will really struggle without Grenfell rolling through the ruck next year. I think there underestimating his impact there as well as forward..

Said it when they landed him. He is just as good, if not better as a ruckman.

 

[Crippa09]

Going to leave a massive hole in there ruck stocks unless they dust off the chequebook..

 

[concretemixer]

who is there ruckman or ruck stocks? do they even have one?

 

[Hedwig]

Larkings is serviceable in there and they would only have really Erlandson to roll through there at the moment. Nicko could go through there with his height but doubt he would want to.

Hahaha ok

 

[ROOTA#6]

Hahaha ok

They must have had someone half decent. Brando didn’t kick 80 odd goals from the ruck and they did won the flag

Are Toma and Monti both on Essendons vfl list for 2025?

I doubt it

 

[Shinjuku]

I doubt it

Monti is signed not sure about Toma

 

[flagpies23]

Monti is signed not sure about Toma

I thought Toma was killing it at the start of the VFL year?

He was. I'm thinking it was a goal of his to do it and it's ticked off now.

 

[King Tut]

Pretty much

Have heard Monti may be contemplating a move to QLD

 

[LawLess]

Pretty much

Or he could have worked out he can make 150k over the next 4 years playing county football

 

[Del28562]

I think to win a senior flag at he's home club, who haven't won for 30 years will drive him and keep monti

Have you forgotten that great win in 2021 mate

 

[Crippa09]

Geez it’s been a longtime between drinks for K/B also. They’ll be hoping Demaria can create something special..

Long time between drinks??

They haven’t won one

 

[Glock]

Not likely too any time soon.

It can turn relatively quick if you get the right people in the right spots.

Got a proven coach so they are already on the path

 

[plugger13]

From the outside looking in Demaria is doing what he did in his last few years at Woorinen, recruiting old players looking for immediate impact which I’m not sure is the right way to be going about it, history suggests without a local foundation it doesn’t work

Yep you young guys may not be able to remember, but when I played seniors at kerang in 2000, we had 5 or 6 guys turn up to a training regularly on a Tuesday night and we'd have to join the thirds to train. We hadn't won a flag since the 80s and had only played in finals once in the cmfl and all our juniors left after year 12. The club appointed Shawn filo as coach in 2002, they played finals in 2003 and were unlucky with injuries at the wrong time and won by 2004 and suddenly all the juniors were coming back to play, they made an effort to get the best local guys from the golden rivers such as the chamberlains and Tim free, Scotty worner and got 4 or 5 guns to show them the way like oppy, Tierney Jason griffen and Luke tyrell. Set the club up for 20 years. Maffra in the Gippsland league (similar sized town in a stronger league) did the same thing at the same time for pretty similar success and even greater success in getting guys drafted and playing vfl. The templates there for koondrook, as I say I like recruiting Bremner, Wilkinson and Thomas. And it's why I'm critical on why they are spending big on arho and bilton, very good players but past their prime

All recruits bring excitement and optimism.

When you have been down so long you just need to get some wins on the board, build some momentum and get the club excited. Very hard to change things without winning. Demarias history would suggest he knows how to win flags .
