Geez I hope he doesn't kick a ton.

Your bare ar$e is not something anyone should have to endure .. especially the fine people of Benalla.

It's bad enough that they're going to have to watch their team slide down the ladder, but you dropping a mooney in the main drag would be the final straw I reckon.

They are not my team...I'm now just a follower of football...

Re: Official GVFL thread

Just had a look at the transfer list, interesting to see that Joe Amad is off to Queensland with Coxy! Also take note of the Echuca transfer list - they have something like 20-30 additions to their list! A few juniors here and there though. Anyone know if theyr good ball players? They could be up there this year? Anyone know anything about em?

Re: Official GVFL thread

He played in the first Echuca United practice match a fortnight ago against Wallan but did not play on the weekend against Lower Plenty due to a tennis final. His reasons for leaving United will come out eventually. Watch this space.

This space has now been filled Duane Hueston will be playing for Shepparton United this season

Isn't Coxy coaching Port Douglas? They were the side involved in that brawl in the granfinal a couple of years ago. I heard that the club is very unstable can anyone enlighten me.

Re: Official GVFL thread

Mansfield is hopeful of putting ground for concern behind it

Mansfield Football Club will host a home game as early as round three after receiving much-needed rain during the past fortnight.
Club president Mike Morrison confirmed yesterday the club was scheduled to host its first home game against Kyabram on April 28, after months of indifference about if and when the ground would be playable.

In November the township was placed on stage four water restrictions, prompting discussion that the club could be forced to transfer the first half of its home matches, as the reserve deteriorated to barren dirt.

The club's opening round clash against Euroa has already been switched to make it a Magpies home game.

"The ground has been scarified and seeds planted," Morrison said.

"We've had a bit of rain.

"And it's been pretty good with the cooler nights putting a bit of dew on the ground."

Morrison said tinges of green had begun to form during the past few days and that the ground would remain unused until round three to give it every opportunity to flourish.

Also a positive for the club is further news that more funding can be sought by Mansfield Shire Council to help explore drought relief initiatives.

On Friday the Victorian Government announced $4.7 million worth of funding for the Drought Relief for Community Sport and Recreation Program, available to every Victorian council on Stage 3, 3a or 4 water restrictions.

"I've requested the application to be sent to me directly," council community services manager Michael Walker said, wanting to act immediately to secure the $50 000 grant.

"We want to maintain a sustainable playing field, so we'd be looking for a site plan to develop drought resistant grasses on all our playing fields and analysis on sprinkler heads to see if they're effective.

"This will go hand-in-hand with funding for a sustainable water supply, a bore and water tank."

Walker said he was hopeful of securing the additional funding by the end of next month.

go easy on him Hunk - you know he's a bit slow

Re: Official GVFL thread

IMO just scrap mansfields ground altogether its a bloody hole, too small and its a hill, not flat at all, if you have someone laying down on one side of the ground you cant even see them from the other, not to mention the changerooms sorry i mean the pool toilets, if this govt money comes through you should if anything level the playing surface and better accomodate your visitors

Haha, check out this photo of the Mansfield ground:

United again: Duane Hueston is returning to Shepparton United this season.

March 29 2007
Shepparton News


Shepparton United has received a shot in the arm on the eve of the Goulburn Valley Football League season with the return of highflying forward Duane Hueston.

The 26-year-old comes back into the fold of his original club after two seasons with Murray Football League powerhouse Echuca United.

A three-time United leading goalkicker and player in the Demons' 1999 and 2000 grand finals, Hueston boasts interleague guernseys in the Goulburn Valley and Murray leagues, and enjoyed stints in the VFL with Bendigo Diggers and Box Hill Hawks.

"It's great to be back at the club, it's where I've played most of my footy and the place is definitely heading in the right direction," Hueston said.

"It was a tough decision because Echuca United have been good to me and I've learned a lot about footy in my two years there, but there was a great opportunity to come back home and play alongside guys like Justin Davies and Matt Forys which is too good to pass up.

"It's my club and my family has been around the club all of their lives too, so it was only natural that I would eventually come back."

Hueston - whose parents Alan and Pamela are life members of United - booted 48 goals in 2001 and 2002 and kicked 52 in 2004 before joining the Murray league Eagles in 2005.

He was a key member of the Echuca United team which made last year's grand final against Nathalia.

United coach Brad Hazelman said Hueston's recruitment would send a further positive vibe through the club in the lead-up to its first round clash with Benalla on April 14.

"He obviously brings a lot of talent, but also a lot of leadership and experience and that's going to be great for our relatively young side," Hazelman said.

"Huey is a great clubman, his family is a great United family and it's great to see guys like him and Justin Davies coming back to the club where they started."

Hueston's signing tops off a busy off-season for the Demons in the recruiting stakes including Rosebud duo Andrew Foster and Ben Black, former Tatura player Michael Woods and Shepparton East young gun Joe Perkovic.

Hueston is expected to line up for United in its final practice match against Rochester at Rochester on Saturday.

No real reason to why he left echuca untied except stating he wanted to play at his home club, but from what i can gather probably come down to $$$$$. No mention in the article as to why he left his decision on where he was going to play until 2 weeks before the first game either.

What do you think willo??

Re: Official GVFL thread

Rochy had a 20-30 point win over Wang on Saturday. Benny Anderson was looking exceptional and will be a massive recruit for the tigers. Heath Aitken also impressed, but their recruit from Eaglehawk didn't impress as much as they'd hoped..

Actually Rochy lost by 1 point to Wang yesterday - Heath Aitken slight soreness in the hammy and didn't return after half time, Watson and Sheeners didn't play and Whitshead (spelling) played very well at CHB. Lobb had a very quite game as mentioned.

Rochy V Wang Rovers-

Shouldn't bother commenting.. obviously didnt attend the game? if i'm wrong then you should be ashamed of yourself! Rochy by 20-30 points as Tav (who i'm guessing heard from steve ) said. On a more plesent note, new recruits. Lobby was quiet but is carrying a groin injury, looks great at training with his goal kicking and marking power, smart player too believe it or not. Ben Anderson was very impressive and is alittle unfit so good things to come as the season goes on. Nick Knight was great, ran the ball well, skills were silky as always and was confident. Last recruit Carl Moon also played, did his job! ran the ball out of the back line as a bonus and looked comfortable with the switch from the KDFL to real football.

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?
