Re: Official GVFL thread

Anyone got a rundown on the Seymour v Shepp Bears match? I heard it was a bit rough & spiteful at times, plenty of niggle and a truckload of talk went on. I heard Seymour did kick 8-9 goals 20 behinds to win by a couple of kicks?

Didnt get there so can either you Seymour or Shepp lads bring us up to speed, who were the standouts etc and what sparked all this niggle?

Rule ruckus

April 3 2007
Shepparton News

Contentious rule changes set to be introduced to Goulburn Valley Football League this season have left the most experienced football minds divided, with the new kickin rule continuing to raise concerns.
The rule - which allows a player to bring the ball back into play immediately after a goal umpire signals a behind - has already come under fire from a number of Ovens and Murray league coaches, with Goulburn Valley coaches now weighing into the debate.

Mooroopna coach Derek Hall said his club was only made aware of the new kick-in rule minutes before its first practice match.

Hall described the move as change for change's sake, with the Cats now having to work on zoning and match-up contingencies on the eve of the season.

"I think we are the only sport in the world that does it (continually changes its rules)," Hall said.

"Unless it's an absolutely glaring thing, I'm against rule changes.

"We're playing with fire by trying to speed up country footy."

Mansfield coach Peter Tossol yesterday took a different view, saying it would remove a boring part of the game.

"I don't have a problem with it," Tossol said.

"Anything which can reduce the effectiveness of zoning, I'm in favour of."

Tossol said while he understood concerns about the potential speed of the game, Goulburn Valley players could not rise to an intensity that would match the power-running style of the AFL and therefore the rule would not cause any distinct advantage.

With clubs unable to keep a spare ball behind the goal, Tossol said there was potential for the rule to be abused, but that it would be ordinary of opposition supporters if it was to happen.

"I'm not going to have people sitting behind the goals kicking the ball away," he said.

Long-serving Rochester coach David Williams was indifferent about the rule, saying it was simply something his side would have to adapt to.

"Fitter, smarter teams will be reacting quickly to it," Williams said.

Umpires will also heavily police any contact to the head - with unfair challenges deemed reportable without a set penalty - while umpires have chosen not to adopt the AFL's "hands in the back" interpretation.

Campbell out for two due to surgery

April 3 2007
Shepparton News

Mooroopna midfielder Blake Campbell is likely to miss the opening two rounds of the Goulburn Valley Football League season after undergoing surgery for torn cartilage on his hips.
Campbell had keyhole surgery to trim tears on his hips a fortnight ago, with doctors giving him four to six weeks to recover.

"I tore both cartilages on my hips last year and that's why I missed the finals," Campbell said yesterday.

"I've pencilled myself in for round three."

Re: Official GVFL thread

I've heard a little rumour that after a recent trip to Thailand benalla vice captain Adam Cole is set to announce his retirement after falling for a lady boy and is set to elope in Phuket before the end of the month.

But lets face it that he is in the twilight of his career and battled throughtout last years final series.

No great loss!!!!

Obviously has not fronted the club as eveyone else has had to. Maybe there is some other problem that nobody knows about? Seems that everyone that has spoken to the club has had a clearance but him.:confused:

Re: Official GVFL thread

Any one looking for something to do tomorrow night if you're in the Seymour area a reminder that we (Broadford) have a practice match against Sunbury Kangaroos at Kings Park.

Game will kick off at 7.45 with the SFNC having their bar in operation.

We will have 5 senior guys missing but are hoping to be competitive against one of the more fancied RDFL clubs.

GVFL punt

April 4 2007
Shepparton News

Punters could be able to bet on the Goulburn Valley Football League premiership if a Darwin-based sports betting agency gets the support of country football administrators.
Sportsbet.com.au - a licensed sports betting agency with 60 000 clients Australia-wide - has offered premiership odds for the neighbouring Ovens and Murray Football League season despite strong opposition from its board.

Sportsbet executive officer Matthew Tripp said the Goulburn Valley league was next in line, but would wait until he met with Ovens and Murray officials in the next seven days before making a decision.

"It's certainly something we're interested in and I would think the leagues could recognise the exposure they can get from it," Tripp said.

"We are not going to bet on the round-toround stuff each week because it might get a bit tricky.

"But we are happy to put up a premiership market each week."

Tripp said the stunt was not "a money grab" and believed the project would offer further exposure to the major country leagues.

"I'm a local, I'm based in Yarrawonga and, while we don't need the football leagues' permission to go ahead with it, I don't want to be seen as the bad guy," Tripp said.

Goulburn Valley league general manager Eric Bott said, while Sportsbet had not made an official approach, the view of the Victorian Country Football League was to not support betting.

"While yes, there are some benefits in terms of exposure, I think it opens up a can of worms in terms of policing it in terms of clubs and players betting," Bott said.

"What's to stop a club, who might be sitting eighth the week before clearances, backing themselves to win a lot of money at odds of say $80 and going out and buying three or four top-quality players to buy a flag.

"That's the type of situation which is a real worry.

"I think there are too many things like that which would be concerning and not healthy for footy."

It's a red card special

April 4 2007
Shepparton News

A player who receives a red card can be replaced after 30 minutes this season, under a two-year trial rule adopted by Goulburn Valley Football League last week.
The modification will also be trialled in the Ballarat, Hampden, Mornington Peninsula Nepean, Southern under-age and Warrnambool and District football leagues.

It will still prevent the offending player from taking any further part in the game, but give teams a reprieve by allowing a replacement to enter the play after 30 minutes of actual playing time.

The offending player will automatically be reported if redcarded.

Shepparton Swans coach Peter White said the modification was a sensible move given his past experience with the rule.

Coaching Kyabram in the 1996 grand final against Tatura, White took the Bombers to a flag after playing with 17 men for the majority of the match because one of his players was redcarded halfway through the first quarter.

"I think it's a great idea," White said.

"We went through it in '96.

"Had we not won the game it would have left it open for serious discussion because the guy who got sent off, Brendan Ryan, was cleared of the charge (at the tribunal)."

GVFL general manager Eric Bott said the league was 100 per cent behind the rule and the change was still enough of a deterrent for clubs.

"The 30 minutes is a big penalty on a club," Bott said.

"They can sit back and say it doesn't happen often, but the stakes are pretty high."

Citing the example of Ryan, Bott said that in the past the rule was open to inflicting a club with a far greater penalty than what the action was deemed at the tribunal to have deserved.

With the modification he believes it will further demonstrate to players that thuggery won't be tolerated.

Bott said 11 players had been red-carded in the past four years, with fewer than half receiving a substantial penalty and four of those players found not guilty.

The system will operate in all grades.

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?

I think they have tried and he has not responded. Lets not forget he was vice cap last year, surley he could talk to someone in the club instead of sticking his head in the sand like he his.
