Re: Official GVFL thread

You're obviously in the know at Rochy, so a couple of questions:

Did Benny A play in the ruck?
Who is Jarrod Ezard?
Is Matt Letcher the biggest drunk you've ever met?
Yeah Benny played in the Ruck for most of it.
Jarrod Ezard is a ******* who'll be lucky to play in the twos and nah matty does like a drink but is occupied with his girlfriend these days.. Sam Williams loves a drink and alot of them and Rat is the man if u want a 6 oclock morning wake up call.

Re: Official GVFL thread

interesting to read the little fppty book in the shepp news
from what people have been saying in this forum euroa would be fire trucked but only sais six leaving in the book.
whats the go there

Whats happened at benalla why is everyojne leaving ?
dont know what all the hype about swans is but the players in that list
still dont match the strength and skill of the mighty seymour.
What was said about the teams undercover? Who are the media tippping to win the GF and win the awards for the year?

Can you get this footy book over the net at all?

Re: Official GVFL thread

Symes battles for peak fitness
By Christie Peucker

March 30 2007
Shepparton News

Gun full-forward Ricky Symes will be a glaring omission for Benalla's round one clash against Shepparton United on April 14 as he continues to struggle with a recurrent knee injury.

Symes has not played competitive senior football for the Saints since round one of the last year's Goulburn Valley Football League season, after suffering some minor discomfort to his knee and electing to clean out the injured joint with surgery.

While the operation was considered innocuous at the time, scar tissue formed, restricting the movement in his leg and Symes later suffered a golden staph infection.

Speaking to The News yesterday, Symes said he was hopeful of returning a month into the season.

"I'm still struggling a little bit," Symes said.

"I will be right at some stage, but not for round one."

Given the all clear by doctors at Christmas, Symes ' recovery was on track until about a month ago when he pulled up sore after a training session.

"It was the best I'd trained since I did it, but I've struggled to get back," he said.

"I don't know if I did too much too early.

"We knew it wasn't going to be smooth sailing, but it's frustrating because it's so up in the air."

The big-kicking Saint said the many inspections of his knee during the past 12 months had done damage to his bone and cartilage and he was now also having trouble under his knee cap.

On a more positive note, Symes said the club was on target for another successful season under new coach Brenton Cooper.

"He's been excellent," Symes said.

"There is a lot more structure to us.

"In the past we've probably gone out and banked on our natural ability, where as now we have a lot better understanding of want we want to do."

Benalla will play practice matches against Mulwala and Seaford in the lead-up to its opening game against Shepparton United.

i dont think you can get the book over the net which is a pity the best bet was on the shepp news website but its not there, maybe if you contact someone at the news they could send out a copy as it is a good read

Interesting to see in that book they have confused Sidebottom with Travas Wayman, bit of a slip up!!

Re: Official GVFL thread

Which players at which clubs are capable of kicking 100 goals + this season ? Saad Saad will be a big chance and it would be good to see Ricky Joyce back out on the paddock kicking a few, not just for Benalla's sake but for the good of the comp. Who else is there ?
dont worry about lobby hes got a bit of a groin at the moment missing tomorrow but if gets fed properly he will do it

Re: Official GVFL thread

i think its frustrating that they do stuff up names and mix em up, you would think they would have done their research and got it right, after all the reporters are getting paid to do a job they may aswell do it right
Might just go in to bat for a couple of mates here.

Skillz,You try putting together an entire magazine almost single-handedly which involves five leagues. I think its great that the Shepp News even bother. (PS well done FACTA, aka Flat Track Bully, on another good quality magazine.)

Yes they get paid to do it. but not very well .. I know .. i worked there.

As much as people around the GV whinge about the content of the Shepp News, the fact is people are spoilt with the coverage they get.

Admittedly the standard of sports journalism has slipped over the past year or two, but prepare for a turn-around to what it was before.

Wes Cusworth has headed to WIN TV and Rob Harris is taking over as sport editor.

And lets be honest, if there was ever a bloke who could single handedly turn things around its him.

Can't wait to get back to Shepp next week, pick up a copy of the news and read about the local footy!! (and to see Rob Harris as the by-line of the back page.)

sage,

people said on the forum that there was up to 20 players leaving the magpies

there was no prediction for the premiership but from word around th traps the swans are gunbe a force, the cats and also heard that rochy are gunna a suprise packet but in my opinon i think seymour on paper have a more accomplished side and will be once again the team to beat

The Shepp News' GV coverage has been ordinary for a while. Years ago, they used to send someone to every game and include a big write-up. Now, they pretty much only take photographs at the Shepp. grounds. Every game gets a pissy 100 word write-up, with hardly any quotes from coaches, player ets. The just mentioned the better players.

By covering every surrounding league they are spreading themselves too thin. I find its best to read you local paper for a good information on the game.

Some people holiday in Queensland, some Europe .. Me, well I prefer Shepparton, after a slight layover in Mansfield.

Can't miss round one of the footy!!!

Well said bradrowe. Your comments about the coverage years ago are spot on. It's hard to believe it's gone backwards and it's not a patch on what it was 7-15 years ago. Hopefully those with influence can take a look at what the coverage used to be like in some back-issues (eg. mid 90's) and get it back to something like that.

True you used to have the 3,2,1 in there from each game from a reporter who had been to the game and also the write ups. Who was there, Noel Hussey, Don Kilgour, Les Cranage, Bill Ludlow (names maybe a little off, been a while) etc, now that was coverage. Must say though still not bad and obviously the paper hasnt got that manpower anymore.

Re: Official GVFL thread

Tongala v Kyabram results

3rds Kyabram u/18s beat Tongala U/17s by about 10pts.
Excellent effort by the younger Tonny boys.
2nds Tongala defeated Kyabram by 10pts first time since 1999.
P.S. after Kyabram asked could the game be played as 16 a side which was agreed, they played the last half with 18 until being caught out with 10mins to go in last quarter when Tongala put a couple of extra players on. Still couldnt get over the line and weak as piss on Kyabram's behalf especially when Tongala had players on the bench who could have been getting a run.
1sts Kyabram defeated Tongala by 6 goals. 16 goals to 10.
Newman probably kicked close to 10, some good young blokes with a lot of pace showed glimpses for them, Ryan Butler, Ryan Emmett, Dave Hansford(playing at Stanhope though I believe) Josh Finn all got a fair bit of it, not sure who they had out, Dave Newman didnt play. Tongala started well 4 goals to 1 in 1st 1/4, but lost Michael Roberts to a burst blood vessel in the 2nd 1/4 and had only the 18 left after half time. Mark and Andrew Reid were the two main players to miss the game for Tongala.
Good solid hitout for both sides.

What a dogs effort by Ky. Obviously not real keen on losin. Even in a practice match. And in the 2's. Wat a joke. Just an all round good club there.

Re: Official GVFL thread

Rochy got up over Shepp United by 1 point. Dying seconds Williams marked and goaled. Bowen kicked 7 or 8 and Scotty Hann had a great game in the middle.

Rochy were up by about 4 goals at half time and then started rotating/resting a few seniors. Rochy had about 9 out of the ones and heard United had quite a few missing also, so don't take too much away from the result. United are pretty well drilled and looked sharp up forward.

Rochy thirds got belted by united - would guess 10 goals
