It's been a week and we haven't heard anything about Bentleigh! I'm a little dissapointed.

Maybe someone should walk pass the ground and see how the surface is, this will give us a few weeks of chatter from the boys to get us through untill they resume training!

Ok then i have some gossip and before the Bentleigh boys get on here and rip through me, Im not trying to stir the pot or anything, i just had an interesting conversation yesterday and thought i would share....

Apparently Kellaway is no where near a certainty to be playing at Bentleigh this year. He is still only an outside chance if that. Apparently the connection he has with bentleigh is with a commitee member that is in the Fire Brigade, which Andrew is desperate to join, who was going to try and help him out to get in. He now may not be able to do much for him.

This is coming from a very good mate of Kellaway who played alot of football with him. I hope for Bentliegh this is not the case, would be great to see him out there this year.

Sad if true. He has been fitting in nicely and his high standards are already rubbing off on others.

Yeah, hopefully he decides to stay. The guy i was speaking to wasnt 100% on exactly what he was going to do but did say he didnt think he would play there.

So you're saying they're hosing down his burning ambition?

Shame, as he does tend to set the ground on fire when he plays.

from what ive heard, the surface at arthur street has come up a treat & is beautiful to run around on.

this information comes via cricket teammates who had a game there on december 7... new, lush green grass everywhere!!

looking forward to getting on it myself when we start up on january 21.

I think that you are under estimating our club Cardio Carl. We have a lot of supporters & committee members with strong networks with AFL clubs & ex-AFL personnel albeit Bentleigh in D3 or not.

Andrew Kellaway may come from Caulfield (C Grade) but he's playing for Bentleigh (D3) in 2009! Deal with it

I think you may have to deal with him not playing at Bentleigh Sniper.

It was always going to end in tears, I just thought it would be after pre-season not before.

Great learning curve for the club and especially the VP - he may have taken a beating on his CV for the top job though on this one.

 

[Spruce Moose]

So, putting this Kellaway rubbish behind us, who are some of the more highly credentialed players in D3 this year?

As in, which players have previously played at the highest levels?

Sprucey - I wouldn't be sitting around waiting for an avalanche of replies on this one son. who are some of the more highly credentialed players in D3 this year?.....this is like asking; is there anyone in Tasmania not related?

Billy Irving from West Brunswick is the player to watch. Has won the 06 d3 comp b&f and the 08 d4 comp b&f. Quality player who is very hard to match up on. He also played in the VAFA rep side last year

 

[stewie40]

irving is currently training at the port melbourne borough so he may NOT be gracing the d3 fields this year!!

Oh well

 

[Cardio Carl]

It was officially announced by the President, at the meet the coach day, that he will be playing for Bentleigh in 2009 , however he was unable to attend due to a prior commitment.

I would say the writing was on the wall early Sniper

Oh well.

 

[Fish 20]

It's funny how someone outside the club knows that a player will not be playing before the club does???

 

[The Tigers Nuts]

It's often the way, Sniper.

Thats the negotiating environment we work in.

If we paid cash like other leagues, then here's you cash & just sign here.

In Ammos its always about promises and securing best personal deals away from football.

On the players side they will not commit and will invariable shop themselves around to a number of clubs until the promises are delivered i.e. start their new job etc.

Spriggs & Voss have been the standouts over the last few years and have titilated many a club, so don't be embarrassed about Kellaway - at least you had a crack.

Head up, you have a good young list that will go well in '09

I never said that he was definatley not playing at Bentliegh Cardio, and Im sure it has nothing to do with money what so ever! It was just a conversation I had with someone that is very close to him and he was not 100% confident he was going to play there. Hopefully he does...

oops pow SUPRISE! OHHHHHH

...as Hater would say.

Hey Rooster, now you're back, any chance of some action on D2 B&F? Or is that a bit outside your area of expertise? I'd like to lay a lazy ten at some good odds early in the piece...

Settle Griff - I have heard the same rumblings.
