There seems to be a bit of confusion here.
Ed Clark (no e) has joined Albury from Uni Blues and kicked three goals on debut last week against Wodonga.
Ed Clarke has joined Wangaratta from Northern Bullants after previously being on the Swans rookie list.

Yea ed clark and higgs played ones with the other two in the mix for selection on a number of occasions. Pell is a winger, lord a solid forward or back flanker, clark and higgs on ballers. All quality players. should do well at o and m level although it may take a game to adjust to the more mature heads and bodies around them. Will the supporters see them as outsiders or embrace them?

Hard to say if they will be embraced by all,4 young bloke have had to make way for these recruits, without meeting and earning the respect of the playing group.4 young blokes that are dropped not because of form. and a couple of reserves players have to miss out as well, so at least 6 or 7 arent really impresseed with it!!!

Any one tell me if Luke Chapman, Chad Rigoni or Scotty McMasters are still running around for the Saints? I spent a year in Myrt in 2000 and these were all champion blokes, along with most of the other fellers involved with the club. I haven't managed to get back there yet, but good luck to the Sainters this year, my jumper from that year still gets a run at training most weeks!

Clarke is a gun, played A grade at Uni Blues another rumor sweeping Melbourne is as follows
Corowa with a lack of bigmen are throwing the the town (around $2000) a game at Ambrose to convince him to go up the highway again, even flying him up & down to Melbourne as part of the deal. Apparently the club where Newman is assistant coach has him in their sites and he lives about 2 mins from there ground, it will be interesting to see which way he goes.
Corowa surely cant have the money...with lack of bigmen why didn't they go back for Xavier Mardling from CDU
From previously what is wrong with the campbells

Luke Chapman is now Vice Capt of the club, Cahd Rigoni is out with a bad back which will probably see him retire, Scott McMasters is at Whorouly Football club as senior coach.

Without looking back through the thread, I'm not sure if this has been made public on here.

People can now listen to the Ovens and Murray coverage from afar with live radio web streaming from www.oakfm.com.au
I heard a bit yesterday and the boys in the OAK Room are sounding great. I will be tuning in with interest this afternoon for the big grudge match between Myrtleford and North Albury from 1pm.
One not to miss.

As far as Ambrose goes at 35 years of age ,Flight from Tullamarine to Albury, where he will be picked up and driven to the games, the flight plus match payments would be huge, I think he had some great offers in Melbourne, not sure why he would go to the extent he has, they must be desperate, you would think they could get 2 or 3 players for the outlay. Had 4 touches and no goals so the lack of preparation and late start to the season must have affected his output.

He will be fine.... the guys a gun... Corowa still won without him firing....but not without trying their hardest to lose!!

How has Van Schaik gone for the Magpies in his first two games?
Can anyone tell me how Ben Cosgriff is going at Wangaratta? I didnt see his name listed as playing against Lavington. Is he injured?
I watched both them play on Sunday, Van Shaik didnt do much, just give Kirby a breather, and Cosi played ok running out of defence.

Wodonga is shooting for fifth along with Corowa-Rutherglen and maybe Myrtleford if they can gel all their newcomers gelling pretty soon.
The Saints were belted after half-time by North Albury who along with Wang, Lavington and Yarrawonga look certainties to play finals this year.
The Dogs are getting wins on the board early and look set to chalk up another one on Sunday against Wodonga Raiders.
But, at some point they will feel the absence of Jarrod Twitt (broken leg) and now Antonowicz who did a string on Sat.
Chris Jackson has hit the ground running with another bag of six on Sat, but he looks like the club's only key forward at this point.

OAK FM has recruited some so called experts, to help with commentary, while giving some regulars from the the past few years the "RASPBERRY AND SARS". Lets not forget this is country footy, and people wan tto know what is going on around the clubs, not the personal opinions of those who have a strong influence to one club. Loos like it is the Myrtleford, Lavi gravy train again this year.:thumbsdown: :confused: :( :mad:

After watching the ntfl gf' replay last w/e it must be a huge plus having Kyle Archibald from Southern Districts and previous to that West Adelaide reserves lining up in O'M, he will be a huge bonus for the league too you would think.

hows young Fulton going at Lavy? heard abit about him before his move north, hows he fitting in to the better league?
His performance on sunday was pathetic. Took 1 reasonable mark for the day apart from that probably would have struggled in the 2's. His fittness level suggests his first training session was last week. That leaves the big fella with plenty of room for improvement

In the immortal words of Pauline Hanson, "Please explain".
I've listened a couple of times and the regulars who were there last year are all involved.
Some I understand have had other commitments and been forced to miss a game.
As for the new additions, Bob Craig coached Yarrawonga to the premiership last year in the Ovens and Murray league (a country league the last time I looked).
Corey Lambert has coached North Albury in the Ovens and Murray league (again still a country league).
Ron Montgomery is a former O and M league general manager, I rest my case.
They are all well qualified to give an opinion on the game they are broadcasting because after all that is what special comments people do you dill.

Any of you folks interested in taking the cyber-field in a pretend team? :p

http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showthread.php?t=314342

Regional Leagues Fantasy Footy League?

Seeking interest in players for a Regional Leagues fantasy footy comp.

This is a) not real footy and b) not pick-a-team-of-AFL-players footy. Its even lazier!

All you do is express interest, I'll do the rest via QOOTY, a crappy random aussie rules simulator I created years ago and have been trying to bring up to speed. FAQs here : http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showthread.php?t=75728

I'll try to collate a league of teams that are representative of the more popular local leagues here, so I need raised hands from the posters. I won't make up any names, I won't allow any sudden new arrivals.

So either post here or PM me if you want your Bigfooty alter-ego registered for a team.

Hopefully we can turn some rivalries into some even more potent partnerships!

I'll probably aim for starting the season, say, end of next week. I MAY have to be an inflexible prick with okaying a team and treating latecomers.

For this season, hopefully the inaugural season of an ongoing league, all we need are 20 players per team. There is already a Fantasy league, more closely based on the AFL clubs, at Bigfooty, here : http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=30 - its into its 7th season and has developed a bit of history! There is also another league at another footy forum site, this year with only 3 teams but had been as strong as 5 clubs in its 3 year tenure.

So get in touch if you're interested. Remember you don't have to do anything apart from dob your Bigfooty nickname in for a spot. Please tell me which club/league of regional footy you would prefer to be aligned with (please state both).

We'll see how we go. If it doesn't happen, ah well, if it happens later than I hope ... I'll still give it a burl.

Onward lads! ...
