Re: Official GVFL thread

Tim Lanyon will not be playing for Tatura this season after he was told by senior coach nobel that his services are not required at the club.
Lanyon who finished 3rd in Taturas B&F behind Wellington and Kirby would have been Taturas premier local by a mile.

What the hell is nobel thinking?

Anyone have an opinion on this matter?
he probably shouldnt have told the coach he couldnt play in there practice match then go play for wondonga who were playin against united in shepp and do his hammy.. from wat iv heard he went back to tat training sayin he couldnt train because of the hammy and the coach said something along the lines of well u shouldnt have played for wodonga on saturday and we dont want some1 around the club who is goin to do ***** like that so find somewhere else to play..

Re: Official GVFL thread

would play seniors at bears definantly and would play at swans to IMO.

yeah but then nobel has gone back to him last week and said if you appologies to the playing group you are welcome back. i dont think nobel is in the possy to go telling his best players there services arent wanted at the club. this is a kid thats come through the junior ranks and then a bloke that just comes in from SA tells him he isnt wanted.... B ull**** i recon. Tatura is goin to struggle for yrs to come if the keep burning there bridges.

If this is true then..

Considering that Nobel keeps preaching he needs locals to support the club on and off the ground he is not setting a great example. Mind you Tim wasnt too smart making himself unavailable for Tat then playing for Wodonga.

Nobel needs to remember he is in a small town and alienating 1 local player in an effort to make a statement can lead to a lot of issues.

It doesn't really matter if he comes from SA...he is there to do a job - coach Tat and I would say he is in a position to tell players their services aren't wanted.

Personally I probably wouldn't risk losing a key player but Nobel is obviously making a tough stance.

Sounds like the kid has dogged his club in the first place if he didn't want to play for Tat...who is he committed to?

Hey tatybulldog (aka Trent Lovelock).

Care to enlighten us why you wont be playin at Tat this year and also where you reckon your gonna transfer to?
Heard this one a while back and tried to get timmy to tell us first hand (tatybulldog or trent lovelock).

Not good for the dogs if its true. Very handy onballer IMO - especially when you consider hes still a youngster.

Absolutely agree, lanyon's not a good enough player in the first place to think he can stuff around footy clubs, especially his local club. Tat obviously want a coach who can bring them up the ranks of the ladder in years to come. So if it means getting rid of players who obiously over rate themselves, then Nobel has every right to get rid of lanyon. Good riddens i reckon the tat footy club would be thinking!

To finish 3rd in the b+f behind two quality players at this level is a pretty fair effort i would of thought and i didn't think Tatura were in such a strong position to be telling players "on ya bike, son" if that is what happened :confused: .

Who does the kid really want to play for,if Tat then he made a huge mistake playing for wodonga and the coach should be dirty,but if somewhere else then who cares , he was already on his bike.The club is bigger than the individual dont you think....

Re: Official GVFL thread

Good points, but don't forget Seymour has lost 4 big guys in Pilling, Gordon, Douglas and Bailey and replaced only with some fella named Kelly who is only going to play seniors because they are desperate for height. Very hard to replace these guys. Should still make finals and with a bit of luck go 3 peat. Anyone heard anything about how Swans and Echuca are going in the pre-season? Praccy match results???

Yeah Kelly couldnt get a kick in a horse fight, played a few senior games at swans last year then cracked it when dropped, will he hang around if playing twos for seymour.

Make no mistake about it BIGM, Jim Kelly will be a vital cog in the Seymour engine this year and he won't be playing to many if any 2nds games ;) .

Yeh couldn't agree more Jax but the point that Duffman made a few posts back is that he is a young,local and obviously talented footballer, i just don't think that a club that is going struggle like Tatura will this year should be casting someone like that aside .

Walked into hardware store in Rochy last Monday, big boy behind the counter, apparently his old man owns the place, I think from memory the blokes name is a Steve Anderson, I haven't heard of him, does he play for the tiges and whats he like?

What about the lack of honesty the kid showed towards the club, coach and team mates. He should have told them he wanted to play a game for Wodonga instead of turn out for the bullies. Poor form by him and I take my hat of to Nobel for drawing a line in the sand.

Re: Official GVFL thread

Timmy had never committed to the doggies and the footy club knew that he was on the move after shifting over to adelaide fell through. he was over in wadonga looking for work and visiting his cousin.

tatura is definantly in no possy to start handing out marching orders.

timms old man got bulldog of the yr last year which is the highest individual honour off field at the kennel and now timmy's perents arent goin to be involved in the club.

the club let him know he was welcome back through a text msg with fletty (president) not knowing of nobels decision until after he had told lanyon.

1 big f u k up IMO.

the young guy made a big mistake, the coach took it by the horns and IMO made the right decision. the coach has made a commitment to the club and expects the players to do the same. the young guy cant expect to **** in the coaches face and then move along as if nothing has happened. if his father won such a highly rated award at tat last year and has the clubs best interests at heart then he would would be backing the coach and telling his son he made a very call. the young bloke has no one to blame but himself and if he thinks the grass will be greener on the other side he is very wrong as most coaches wouldnt stand for that.

He never once made a committment to Tat though. he told them he wasnt playing there and was looking else where.

Is this a fact? Why would you do pretty much a whole pre-season with a club? sounds like a commitment to me. Fact is the boy can play a bit but is one of the ****test blokes going around. If he's such a great local and all that then what's he doing playing for Wodonga? He has trained or met with about 6 clubs since then. Says he only wants to play with a successful club. Also let his tennis team down with that hammy - couldn't play in the granny which they lost. Tat did the right thing - you wouldn't want a bloke like this around your club - they'll be better off without him. It's not as if he was going to get them up the ladder by himself. So what if they win 0 games instead of 1 - the coach has made a point and the rest of the players know where they stand.

Re: Official GVFL thread

Haha interesting reading, I find it very out of character for Tim to go and play a game with Wodonga and then come back to Tat as if nothing happen and expect to play. I find it a little hard to believe, I would doubt Tim would want to alieniate himself from the boys their, they are a clicky bunch and I would think the 1st sign of Tim doing the dirty on the club it would have a lot of them turning their noses up at hime and I know that he wouldnt want that.

Anyway he has made a mistake and has to live by it, he wanted to test the waters and thats fine I just hope for his sake he finds a club willing enough to accomodate him and his eccentric personality (and failure's to handbal ;) ).

1 thing im certain of is that should the club had not have sacked Moose everyone would be talking about Tat in a different light.

Vital Cog??? wasnt he a borderline senior player for the Swans last year??? Have not heard great reports about the bloke, but only time will tell.

Then why is this getting any coverage at all? Why would Nobel need to say his services are no longer wanted if he had already told them he wouldn't be playing for Tat?

Sounds like you are talking cr@p...or the kid doesn't know whether he's coming or going:confused:

Re: Official GVFL thread

If Jim Kelly plays seniors and is meant to be a vital cog then other gvfl clubs need not worry about seymour, potienally the worst player ive cum across to play gvfl seniors?????
