Re: Official GVFL thread

Wow, half a team is locals. Inspiring stuff.

Don't you think it's interesting that the exact same day that Seymour plans to get more VFL players is the same day that I hear Kyabram are considering leaving the GV because they can't compete anymore?

You may not realise down there, but a few GV teams will probably be in other leagues within the next 10 years.
You'd think that Seymour and Ky are on an equal level in terms of local talent (Seymour's senior players would probably be ahead, but Ky has produced some fine juniors over the years – where are they?) but Ky's problem is it's inability to attract big name recruits due to its location. One such solution Ky could do is try and entice 5,6,7,8 or so very good players from the KDFL, not easy to do but it would sure help them remain competitive, maybe even knock on the finals door.
The other thing is, in the years gone past a lot of Ky's locals have ended up in the KDFL (Here's a brain teaser people - Try and name a team of Ky locals in the KDFL). Fact is, it can be a goldmine of talent in surrounding area's. It's a matter of clubs doing their homework, getting the right coach who has good contacts, fundraising/sponsorship activities and of course a bit of luck. Seymour is lucky it is close to Melbourne, and even luckier they were able to entice the great S.Daniels - without him, I shudder to think where they would be now. Euroa is similar to Seymour in location and don't forget they are one of the smallest towns in the GV, Rochy has a few Bendigo lads and Tatura and Mooroopna can/should use the Greater Shepp area better. Look at Mansfield – small town, they have worst ground and facilities in the league and they are going ok. Of course some solutions are easier said than done but it would be a great pity if the GVFL were to lose any more teams. I hope Tat and Ky can turn it around.

Re: Official GVFL thread

I know a few people over that way. The rumour is they are planning to go to the Murray league.

I'm not against recruiting players, but we have already lost Tongala. Ky, Tatura and Rochy are regional towns that are struggling on the field (and I would assume off field too).

Agreed that a points based system should be trialled.
Bit harsh putting Rochy in your list there rowey!!
Reserves are flying and seniors just outside the finals. Sure the seniors have under achieved but have a strong list, so might have more to do with other departments of the club rather than recruiting players.
Theres an old saying in football "what goes around, comes around". You just have to make the most of your opportunities when its your turn.

Agree with all of that. Ky have had great 3rds sides in the last couple of decades, winning a fair few flags. They should always be a good side.

Having said that, I keep hearing repeatedly that they are moving from the GV.

Smallest town in the GV bud, and with 4 Recruits who arent superstars, as well there not chasing money but the best football they can play. And to a club that has been so successfull in the 90's early 2000's without recruits, it makes people wonder why clubs are throwing the cash out to try and be successfull when they cant produce there own local talents.
For seymour to have half local half import its pretty obvious that $$$ buys success. Rumour has it that earlier in the season seymour ran out of money to pay players thats why there form slumped and lost 3 or four. Then mysteriously someone comes up with the cash and bingo seymour back on fire.....

Perhaps I am the external pessimist roge.

Fact is they are a middle rung team and they are probably 3-4 quality players from challenging the good teams. I just can't see the club getting those.

Agree they should've done more when they were up. If they had a dominant CHF in those years there may have been a few more trophy's.

Come on Wizza - thats a bad comment! They lost because the players didnt play because they were'nt getting paid? Or they players didnt play well because they didnt get paid? Whatever ur trying to say mate, that comment is a big thumbs down. They lost because the better team on the day won. No excuses.

Re: Official GVFL thread

Ah skillz, its amazes me how you think you know so much about a club and football even. Reading your posts bring a smirk to my face. Obviously you dont have a clue on either.

We all know there is a spot for Tremellen if he wants it, but he will not get it if he keeps failing to turn upto training, even if he was to train for one week, he would be playing reserves that week. One week of training doesnt make up for the all the training he has missed not to mention the games.

I think the lost cause is yourself.

In regards to Gleeson, it is common fact that he will not be coaching next year, he didnt want to coach this year. But the club could not find a suitable coach and Gleeson rang the club and said he would help out this year.

Firstly how does that make you and the rest of the Euroa players feel knowing that your coach didnt want to cach you guys this year, but he does out of pity, i bet he cant wait until the season is over.

And as for Tremellen not training please correct me if im worng but doesnt he train down in melbourne, surely you cant expect him to travel to euroa twice a week to train, im sure the other melbourne based guys dont turn up to every training and if they do ide be surprised.

Another point i need to make is if he was to be played he would do a much better job then some of the duds you guys have out on the park, regardless if he was training or not, If he was to be playing well on the weekends then there shouldnt be a problem with his training, but i guess we wont know cos hes not being played.

Like i said you guys need all the help you can get so get off your high horse about people not training and play your best team.

But that brings me back to suggesting there is more to it then not training as to why hes not getting a game, or your just against him getting back in the ones cos you wont be able to get back in

Skillz, this just proves you know absolutely nothing about what is happening at Euroa and in fact know nothing about football.

Firstly, you dont know how the coach is feeling or thinking in regards to this year at all. He has thouroughly enjoyed coaching this year and is hoping we can make a good run inot the finals and play some good finals football. He has other commitments which wont allow him to coach anymore. He hasnt done it out of pity all, in fact he coaching next to nothing this year to help out a club who gave him the opportunity to coach at GV level.

I will correct you in regards to Tremellen, he doesnt turn upto to training in Melbourne, I never mentioned training in Euroa. So get your fact your right before mouthing off like you have. Its just basic that he needs to start training with fellow Melbourne team mates before he is even considerded a game.

While we are talking facts. I will put this to you. Why would we play a player who has done the following.

A) he hasn’t trained in over a month. And less than ten times for the year including pre season

b) has been to two games since he hurt himself.

c) he hasn’t spoke to anyone about his injury, when hes available to play again, why he cant train

d) he wont bother returning Daves calls, texts or emails ever


We all now Tremellen would get a game in our senior team and we hope he does come back, but we are not holding our breath. Yes we do need some help with some major injuries and he would be perfect, but if you dont train, you dont play. Simple. Is this finally sticking in your peanut of a brain.

I believe I will get back into the team, but even if I dont its not the end of the world. But Im willing to place at least a $1000 on it that I will get back into the team.

But having said all of this, Im led to believe he will be attending our training session tomorrow morning. So heres hoping that he will be right to play in a few weeks time.

Gday boss how are ya mate?
In regards to tremellan seemed like a bit of a f***wit when we played the cats last year, walking aroung like he was mike tyson - i say gleeso tells him to pack his bags if he thinks he is bigger than the club?? Surely the playing group must be *****ed off with his antics....your thoughts?

Lets hope sanity prevails and Tremellen gets along to training sessions from here on. Hes too good a player to have sitting on the sidelines and the Pies could do with his services right now.

Go on Ben.....get ya arse into gear champ and back on the park.

I don't know too much about Tremellen, but hasn't he played for 4 GV clubs? Shepparton, Swans, Mooroopna and Euroa. Is that right?

KY should not be in that boat, with the size of the town and the amount of minor league clubs within 15mins of them they should always be competitive, and they are always up there in the 3rds. Only had 14 players listed to play reserves the last few weeks, how can this be, surely no excuse can be made for a town their size to be unable to find 40 footballers every saturday.

I wouldn't worry about anything bradrowe says, he just writes anything that could be advantageous to the Rochester or Collingwood Football Clubs.

Can't believe this, short memories some people. Wasn't that long ago the Lions were battling their way to 1-2 wins a season, never once did I hear them contemplate a move to the KDFL or the CGFL.

The wheel turns fella's thats footy. Who's to say in a year or two it may be Seymour or the Swans or Euroa that fall away then it may be Tat that comes good or even Kyabram?

What's Ky's relationship like with their neighbouring minor league clubs? Seymour always seem to have their share of guys come and go from Avenel, Nagambie, B'ford, theres a few Yea kids in their 18s this year.

That's the way it should be isn't it? The better players have a chance at a higher standard then one day take that experience home - whilst the minor league clubs benefit from such experience and from time to time get a few borderline senior GV players who are more than capable at minor league level yet cant quite get a regular senior GV gig.

Have I missed something or am I barking up the wrong tree :confused:

Do you ever have anything positive to say? If i recall correctly the only positive thing that you have ever said has been about how good you are. BigFooty can you please direct this to the "who cares" thread, Cheers

What the hell are you talking about? I'm from Rochester and fiercely proud of it. Couldn't give a shyte about Shepparton and any of its clubs. Did you even read what I said?

Re: Official GVFL thread

Didnt play the last week due to injury again head, but hopefully back next week. We have a week off this weekend due to the split round.

How your form and team going?
Head my man, hows things?

Where have you and your little weasel mates been hiding??

We have had a double by Boss which we limped into by winning last game by 17 pts. Had 9 out and picked up injuries during game. so the double bye was very much needed. My form...just.
Weasles are all away on the break Jim.
Don't think i'd bother any more Boss with Skillz as his statement contradicted itself. Either he's boofing Tremellen or he's licking his freckle. Allthough your Peanut brain statement may be a little far fetched as Peanuts may grow up to 2cm.
