Rob Ryan is playing for Barooga in the Murray league now i believe. Watched them get done by Cobram on Good Friday. Could be a long season for the Hawks this year

Word is Dion Ciavola will again miss for Kyabram...Balraj Singh to debut with Mooroopna and the Deakin Derby (United/Shepp) to be the most keenly anticipated since the 2000 Grand Final.

Mooroopna didn't play last weekend as they had the bye. They should beat Shepp. Swans.

Not sure how Saad went, but Seymour lost their first game to Eurora.

Saad Saad didn't play last week because of suspension carried over from DVFL, will line up bnext week against Rochester
 
Re: Official GVFL thread

I didn't catch the other results, but Rochester lost today to Eurora. They were down about 5 or 6 goals at half time, but fought back well to be down by a goal at 3/4 time. They started off the 4th quarter well, but missed 4 or 5 easy shots at goal. Eurora kicked the last 3 to win the game.

It probably will be. They have been around the mark in both games, but their goalkicking has costed them. They are relatively injury free, so I'm not sure if they will improve. They should win 6-8 games.

Other results:

BENALLA 22.16 v KYABRAM 8.15
TONGALA 7.6 v MANSFIELD 23.9
ECHUCA 19.15 v TATURA 5.7
EUROA 15.12 v ROCHESTER 9.18
SHEPP SWANS v MOOROOPNA (play today)
SHEPP UNITED v SHEPPARTON (play today)
 
Re: Official GVFL thread

I was at Benalla and watched them demolish Kyabram. Benalla just had far too many winners all over the ground. Kyabram didn't help thier cause by kicking plenty of points particulary in the first half when they were still in the game. Kyabram found it very hard to get past the brilliant half back line of Benalla which consisted of Polwarth, Fahey and the legend Anthony Stevens who for some unknown reason was playing HBF for the whole second half. Polwarth marked everything then gave it off to the running stevens who had around 30 touches for the game. Stevo's brother Brendon was close to best on ground and was in everything. They gave good supply to Ricky Symes up forward who must have kicked 7 or 8 goals but I wasn't counting so not sure. McKenzie was also having a good day at CHF but really Benalla had the ball going forward so often that it was a good day to be playing in Benalla's forward half. I reckon Stevo was itching to get up forward but for some reason Coach McFarlane left him across half back for the 2nd half. He did all the kickouts from fullback and this was a treat to watch with his pinpoint passing. Benalla will be tough to beat this year.
Almost forgot to mention Matt Sharp. He was BOG last week from all reports and was very good again yesterday. Benalla's only weakness seems to be their lack of height however with a fast running game and players who can use the ball well they may be able to get around this problem. They don't just bang it long. They go sideways quiet a bit and find a lose man then run hard forward. It's an exciting brand of footy.
 
Re: Official GVFL thread

Massive blow to United with both the Hazelmans' copping season ending injuries. Shocking luck for the 2 boys.

Huge...would almost have United is only a maybe for finals action instead of a definite...although he wasn't dominating, the Demons lost their way after Steve got injured against the Bears.

Let's hope Forys doesn't go down as well

Fixtures for Round 3 23/4/2005

MOOROOPNA v BENALLA
MANSFIELD v SHEPP UNITED
SHEPPARTON v ECHUCA
TATURA v EUROA
ROCHESTER v SEYMOUR
KYABRAM v TONGALA

My tips:

Mooropna in an upset, Mansfield by 2 goals, Shepparton by 4 goals, Euroa by plenty, Seymour by 2-3 goals and Kyabram by 10 goals.
 
Re: Official GVFL thread

Shepparton Bears comfortably accounted for Echuca by a margin of 36 points. They are looking good.

Re: Official GVFL thread

Rochester were beaten again, quite an easy win for the Lions. Quite possibly the worst tigers side to take the ground for 10 years though, so a 10 goal win is nothing to write home about I wouldn't think.

yeah fair call jessy, the indications are that it might be a long year for those involved down at tigerland. on a positive note though, it was pleasing to see 3 of their players named in the interleague squad and the word is that all 3 will play. most pleasing I feel is the inclusion of sam "stretch / sammy" brennan who has been in sizzling form and has been a consistent performer for the past 3 seasons. think his selection in the squad was well overdue.

It may well be the worst side since 1987 if they fail to make the finals, 1991 is the only other year I can recall Rochy not making it and that was not a bad side then either. How's the season shaping up for you anyway Mainy ??
 
Re: Official GVFL thread

Seymour seem to be coming along nicely as do Mooropana, people may be suprised but they did recruit well especially with the former Carlton listed player Blake Campbell.

Just on the Mooropana vs Benalla game ive noticed that neither Cosham or Downey have been in the best but other recruits like Sharp and of course Stevens are there. whats the status with them players?

Early season form seems to suggest what most people have already predicted with Tongala being terrible and sides like Euroa and Seymour back up there and fighting it out for the top few spots.

I think they missed in 1995 and 1996. In 1994 they made the finals with an aging list and played injured players in the final Vs Tatura and lost.

The 3rds then won the flag in 1996 and had some really good players that stayed with the club and helped them into the 1997 finals. They also recruited well locally. They then won the flag in 1999, which I'm sure you know.
