Bence said on radio some time ago he saw him play well in a final last year and had him picked out since then.
Hasn't set the world on fire this year though and Raiders' Trent Storey is going better.
The O and M ruck division will come up against a pretty handy player in Tim Little, who battles against overwhelming odds for Tatura week in, week out.

So it is the case. Congratulations Burger. Also Scotty Oz. Now this kid is a gun that I think flies a long way under the radar. I thought he was excelent in last years GF. Great to see that Bence has taken some notice of him. I thought his year last year was good enough to draw some attention.
Matt Wollington is underated...... the bloke is a very good footy player

Is that you Wol? My friend I agree Wol is an absolute gun. I love the way he backs into packs. I don't think he is underated at all and playing rep footy last year backs that up. Wol would also be the first to tell you just how good he is, with a grin on his face.

Dead right POJ - How in gods name is Matt Fowler still getting a game?????
The best player in the league is not in the side either but obviously he did not want to play.
I'm talking about one B.Beams from Myrtleford!
Was Beams even asked?Seems to me that the selection criteria needs some work!Im sure all the blokes playing on sunday have not attended every training session!(as was the requirement)

Obviously picking a side for the ovens and murray is tough due to the fact there is alot of very good players. Each year there is controversy over selection as to why or why not so and so was or was not selected.

Can someone please tell me the process, because it seems to me that the coach is picking his side?????? Should it not be a panel (coach and 2 others) who have watched a far greater number of games of various sides.

I presume the answer will be that there is a panel, but I'm not talking about yes men looking for another jacket for winter, I'm talking about selectors who should have and would offer valuable opinions on all players from all sides.

Kirby rucked against him last year during the inter league when little played for BallaratFL and Kirbs at GVL, and handled him ok. I watched the 2nd half of Tatura's game last week and Little would have won 98% of the hitouts in the middle, but did little around the ground, so if Kirby can break even with him in the middle he can hurt Little around the ground as hes alot more mobile.

Top game of footy.
O and M was 4 goals up at three quarter time, but GV stormed home in last quarter nearly pinched it.
Saad was well held by Josh Walker for three quarters, but came to life in the last to boot three and GV went down by three points.
Tim Hooper had a kick after the siren from 60m out to win the game, but his kick came up short.
He went the drop punt, not the barrel torp after having a bigger run-up since DK Lillee used to kick off the sight screeen at the WACA in his heyday.
Plenty of good players from either side.
The key forwards from both sides had days they would rather forget so full marks to the backlines from both teams.
Roll on 2009 when they play again in a full scale game.
