[matteroffact]

Anyway guys, I know how you all just love all this Lower Plenty talk but for a change of pace the old Heidelberg situation has got me thinking. I reckon the D.V.F.L. has an ace up it`s sleeve which it is keeping very quiet on. Had to go to a meeting at DV house last night, asked Floydy if he had a fly on the wall down at Heidelberg, replied with a big smile on his face "Don`t need one", then I said what about the story that Bundoora and Mont may be considering there futures, at that point Floydy, Alex Walker and Roy Ward looked at one another and gave each other a smile, looked at me smiled again and said nothing. I think they have a plan which they are sitting on untill the moment is right. Any thoughts?

Maybe if the voting decides for the tigers to leave the dv the hierachy may then kick them out?Who knows but funnier things have happened at dv house.

Talk has it that fawkner are leaving DVFL, does anybody know if they are folding or looking for another league, what chance would it be that they want back into the RDFL. Not sure if we would want them back if that was the case.

Does anyone know anything about this ?

Brutal, funny you being the one to talk about attitude, committment & give people advise about their mental state of mind.

Shall we look at your committed life....

Bloke with very few mates, sits on the net all day putting posts up on a website sometimes 5 in succession.... apparently hangs out with his nephew and his younger mates all day..... I've seen him out with them a few times too.....

Some of the blokes you sit there bagging are a great bunch of blokes and would add a solid grounding to any club. Possibly not all the 24 who have left Lower are superstar footballers, but they would definetly add the positive feel and strong friendship base that every club needs. Lower had that feel in the U19s in 2002 when I attended the club after a couple of games that season, but Lower failed to see the division that was spreading through the club like a plague.

The senior (contracted) players did not socialise with the reserves or U19s players and attended very few club functions. That's the difference between player being paid to be at a club and players who are dedicated to be at a club to enjoy their footy.

This is where I desagree with comments saying that all fot hose players who left weren't dedicated. A dedicated player will stay at a club even when they aren't being paid to play. Who many senior players at Lower now would stay if they weren't paid.... not many.

Possibly the mentality at Lower is, while players are with us we'll pay themt o keep them, but once they leave the club we'll sh1t can them as much as we can as well as the grade of football they play... like your comments around the D4 ammos.

I think Lower lost something quite large when those 24 players left the club.... something Lower and a lot of clubs would now love to have in their jounior ranks.... to bad all you can do if bag those players now.

I'll be watching your next interlectually reiverting comments with interest......

Fawkner will be lucky to survive at all due to lack of funds, players, support etc. I can't see them being in the DVFL next year with the high cost of fees. If, and its a big if, they play it may have to be elsewhere.

 

[Factual]

One`s the son the other is the old man, is there problems at Sth Morang as well? If so, what are they? Also anyone know how Rockin Ronnie`s travelling up there as coach, will he be there next seaon?

Jerram is one of the best players at Morang, why would he leave? Rons a great coach, he will be there for next 2 seasons and win a premiership.

It will be sad to see them go!

It’s “intellectually reverting”. If you want to talk smart – spell smart. To be honest mate – I'd say no-one gives a sh i t about the 24 blokes who’ve left Lower and I’d say less people give a sh i t about Brutal’s social life.

If you want to carry on with this crap – send him a private message. This is not a Lower Plenty thread or a why players left Lower thread… it’s a DV footy thread. So talk some interesting DV or pi$$ off.

Have to agree, no one cares about Lower living in the shadows of the powerhouse in Mont or Brutals private life. Once the cash dries up again at Lower they will be back where they rightfully sit in DVFL pecking order, 6 -10 in Divi 2. Losing 5 young blokes hurts a club 24 takes years to recover.

The new coach obviously has a different agenda to the past few and they will no doubt be better of in the long run if they have the guts to stick with him, but the past suggests loyalty is not thier strong point.

Why wouldn't he be?

If you're having a go at us for loyalty in sticking by coaches then you're way off the mark. Have only not offered one coach new contract in past seven years! By your comments about cash drying up that is obviously your idea of success, escpecially with all of the money Mont were offering players in the off season.

 

[greatguy]

He is playing in a comp that best suits his ability, 2nd Divi DVFL, it just shows how strong South Morang are if he is one of the best players.

A premiership in 2 years, if they get the best players from St Marys and St Damians at end of this season then maybe, but why would anyone with talent go and waste it there.

 

[Coach Hollywood]

Ben Cookson: Played a couple of games in the 1`s when Secco was coach, decided to play at Bulleen because Coach, Joe D`Angelo is a long time family friend who convinced him to go accross. Bit of Kanga involved as well.

Did we just let this comment go through to the keeper Brutal? Very cheeky claiming Kanga was involved at a Ammo's club?

On ability, probably 4 of those guys may have played good footy at lower but on attitude none of them would. As for a culture problem, there is no culture problem, if you want to do the stats I think a club like Eltham has greater issues than us in regards to players who either leave or don`t go there in the first place.

Having a finger in all pies here.I Played at both Lower/Research & Eltham both good clubs and now in the Ammo's. I got promoted to the Seniors from U17's at Eltham and I doubt that would have happenned at Lower Brutal? The problem with Eltham was no U19's killed them and lots of Juniors where missed because of this. As for Lower I think the problem was they focused to heavily on the payed players rather than opportunities for the younger blokes? Ammo's just don't take the footy as seriously that's all, completely different culture.

Will the EDFL show have footage of the all in brawl in the crowd at the West Coburg V Tulla game? Just wondering.

Brutal how u guess??? Maybe next time ur down watch our s**t standard of footy and having a beer with the boys u can meantion the "soft c ocks" comment again

Id be suprised if those two dills even knew what was going on in there own boardroom, let alone that of the Heidelberg football club. Dont worry, we have the full support of Football Victoria and with that a ticket out of this competition for good.

 

[melbdocker]

st mary's and st damiens arnt linked with anyone it would be the best thing watsonia football club ever did if they joint forces wit st damiens. St marys will never merge/affliate or anything like that the only "link" you could say they have is with riverside cricket club. I dont know where the st mary's boys go when the finish juniors i know creek got a couple a few yrs back and Matt Sinclair played in our premiership side last yr and a few are at greensborough, but when u think of the numbers of juniors they have the numbers just dont add up

The full support you say... interesting.

Given its a done deal... what division would you in start Mr B?

We've been told divy 1, but we wont know till the EFL puts forward a deal. My guess is divy 2. Guranteed it wont be 3 or 4.
