Re: Official GVFL thread

"Not upset at all. I just think your logic is hilarious.

Allow me to give you some examples:

1. Maragatang don't pay any players, except for one bloke who lives an hour away. They decide to give him $30 for petrol money. Guess what? They are buying flags!

2. Inverloch pays all their players $40 per game. The players usually pay it back to the club over the bar anyway. Guess what? They are buying flags!

3. Portland decides to throw a testimonial for a 300 gamer. He has never taken a cent in his life and no one else in the team gets paid. But guess what? They are buying flags!"
Im fairly sure I dont need to explain that monumental quote.

When someone (other than you Brad) makes a point that prooves me to be wrong I'll admit it. I promis.

Harden up a bit Brad. Im sorry if i may have made you feel a little scared in this some what violent world. But I am sure not too many people are going to be calling their mothers over my posts (but that Girly Girly fella might have a little cry cry), so read it the way I tell it cause its the way I see it.

Try half a bottle of Vodka before you go to bed. It wont give you too much of a hang over (cause I know your a little soft) the next morning and Im fairly sure you lack a bit of female (well you know what I mean) to help you sleep.

And Brad, you can call me Andy. I like you, although you seem to post quite a bit of crap you are entertaining.

And Brad, incase you havent realised Ive color coaded my responce to your incietfull post. Also Brad please dont worry about my spelling as numbers put $$ in the bank not words (dont listen to those hippie authers). But I do know that you wouldnt stoop so low as to question my spelling in my posts and not my thoughts!

Bal tolls for Bombers
Balraj Singh says he will join Kyabram this season in a major recruiting coup for the recent cellar-dwelling club.
The prolific forward kicked 154 majors in his two years with fellow Goulburn Valley Football League club Mooroopna.

He will be a handy acquisition to a Bombers side that managed to post only two victories last season and scored the second least points in the competition.

Singh last week signalled his intentions to return to the area after spending last year with Balranald in Central Murray Football League.

``Last week I thought about it and was sure I wasn't going back to Balranald, it's just too far to travel,'' the 25-year-old said.

Singh said he approached his former club Mooroopna to inquire about rejoining it, but was told it didn't want his services.

``I tried to do the right thing by Mooroopna and asked them if they would like to have me back,'' Singh said.

``They said I didn't fit in with their budget, I kicked 91 goals in a season for them so I thought they could have done with me but there's no hard feelings.''

Kyabram expressed some interest in recruiting Singh and after a visit from club president Peter Croxford the deal was sealed.

``Peter came to my house in Melbourne last week and we had a chat and it's all worked out, now I just need to get the clearance forms sorted out.

``I'm looking forward to making a fresh start in the area.''

Singh, the first Indian ever to be drafted by an AFL club when he was selected by Adelaide with pick 79 in the 1999 draft, is looking forward to being a key part of Kyabram's attack.

``Playing in the forward line with Paul Newman will make our forward line quite potent,'' Singh said.

``I think the plan will be to play him at centre half-forward and myself out of the square and provided we can get the ball down there I think we will kick some good scores.''

Singh said he was excited at the prospect of playing under former Rochester and first-year Kyabram coach David Williams.

Any thoughts out there on how these two personalities may clash. Singh may not enjoy being called a lazy prick and Willliams wont take any shit from Singh. Mind you, if Ky can adopt a way to get the pill into their forward line I can't think of too many more dangerous forwards working in tandom in Newman and Singh.

Re: Official GVFL thread

Geez, I'm going to lose a lot of sleep over this, Andrew.

I don't believe that anything I have written is incorrect, so why should I admit it? How is that shallow?

"I'm sure that one day I may be wrong"

How arrogant can one person get?

Judging from your other violent and abusive posts (which is frighteningly often), there's something wrong with you. You just don't fit into society do you?

Seek help Andrew, it's never too late.

Brad, you (almost fanatically) rip into clubs such as seymour and shep swans about player payments and buying flags, citing that looking after locals and junior development is the way that they should run their clubs, which is a fair enough opinion to have.

But how can you then endorse a club such as ardmona? a club who pays the vast majority of its players and would probably have under 10 players at the club who played junior football there, one who could certainly fall into the category of buying flags. It just seems like there is a double standard in your stance here

Re: Official GVFL thread

Does Paul Serra still play?
Does he have a brother who was (might still be) a bit of a muscle man?
Does he still play too?
Both would be getting long in the teeth.
Paul is "Hair"?
Gun full back!

Paul is Hair, former interleague fullback.

His brother who was/is fairly buff is John.

Both have been retired for a few years now so it's unlikley they will play. Hair suffered back problems towards the end of his career and I think John retired after getting some sort of injury to one of his chest muscles (pecks?).

Oh dear, this is getting laughable now.

I played with Ardy for a year with my brothers, as they were all retiring. I have never "endorsed" them at all. I never supported the brawl in the 3rds against Rushy or any other incidents. I have simply stated - which has been consistent in all of my posts regarding them - that not everyone in the club should be tarred with the same brush. Most of the people out there are decent people and it gives me the shits when the whole club is written off on the account of a few individuals' poor behaviour.

Bad luck hero, have another go.

Re: Official GVFL thread

Some of the Rugby League comps up here introduced the points system, there were different versions of it. I dont think anyone still has it and if it is still in use in some comps, you never hear of it been enforced.

head, we all know you are well and truly past your used by date, but why havent you been on the track?? How would the Narrandera boys be coping not seeing your big fairy self out there with your chest puffed out??

Fuzzyswan wasn't talking about Ardmona's poor reputation but rather the topic of buying in a few too many players. What was/is your stance on that?

Don't think he was attempting to play the hero at all.

Re: Official GVFL thread

Read in earlier post that Saad x 2 was training at Collingwood (VFL). Can anyone tell me if he is still following this path or has he decided to play back at Seymour. I know he does spread himself around at this time of year but I also know that he is fairly comfortable with the boys at the DEN.

Also read the Evan Murray not playing at all. Surely this can't be right.

Ohh Harbijahn, will you ever learn that the almighty dollar is not the be all and end all. Start giving a bit back champ. Hope Dirty sorts you right out.

All this talk of paying players is wearing a bit thin guys. Every club does it so move on and get over it. As long as we get to watch exciting games and the crowds keep going through the gate, then more power to the clubs that take the initiative. The standard of the G.V. is all that matters and it's reputation of being one of the premier country footy leagues. History shows that all clubs take their turn at the top of the heap so the clubs like Tat and Ky will again have their day in the sun.

Cheers

Does Collingwood now have its own side in the VFL?

Getting players (locals) playing the game and having a real go is more of the problem than paying players to come in!

You do a good job of reading the post's Brad?
How does one come up with a reply such as that one from the following post?
"Brad, you (almost fanatically) rip into clubs such as seymour and shep swans about player payments and buying flags, citing that looking after locals and junior development is the way that they should run their clubs, which is a fair enough opinion to have.

Brad maybe I need glasses, but where is the mention of Ardmona's "poor behaviour". As far as I can read, it only mentions the topic of discussion "payer payments".
Have you mooved on now Brad?
Would you like to start ripping into Ardmona's "poor behaviour"?
If so could you please post your thoughts on the KDFL site.
Or bugger me dead is this the KDFL site?

Hey brad this time ive gone for the Smilies's rather than the color. Do you like them or would you prefer me to use color text?

ps Must say Brad that the "hero" comment was a bit lame.

Re: Official GVFL thread

Memo to Brad Rowe -: I admire your disadin re. player payments but fact is in this day and age thats what a club has gotta do to be competitive. It is unfortunate and I am sure most of us would prefer to go back to the 80's, a time where player payments were remote. I think you just gotta move on with the times pal. GVFL is a major league, one of, if not the best in Victoria so it makes sense that payments are prevalent. Like I said, it is unfortunate, but thats the way it is.

It looks like Rochy is catching on - 6/7 or so players from Bendigo area/VFL on top of what is already there. Rochy might not be paying as much as Swans, Cats etc, but they are still doing it. And because of this they could win the premiership this year - I'm tipping them to be top 4 easy.

Care to actually read what i posted and respond to that? As Tuskenraider and cellar dwellar pointed out, i was talking about player payments, not on-field behaviour. But hey, as long as you got a kick out of playing cyber bully....

You know I've got your back only player payments etc. Bradley. It is really simple have a look at Rochester and Echuca's records over the last 15 years, in all grades. Clubs who put time and effort into developing their youngsters and current players have a better record in the long term.

It will be interesting so see how Seymour, Euroa, etc are coping in five years time. They have the advantage of being closer to Melbourne and obviously the cash, but it doesnt last forever.

I guess that depends who's running the clubs.

Country footy is a pretty big business now and thats how it is run.
To some footballers like balraj. its his job, he probably gets more money to play footy a week than he ever will working 9-5. Unfortunatly that is the way footy has headed!

I am pretty sure Singh works on the docks and he would definetely get more there than playing footy. A weekly wage and as much as you can steal is usually the way it works.
