Ahh, Dylan Smith. I remember reading an article in the age (can't find it now sorry) some months back about league footballers who were cut relatively young. I remember reading Smith was teaching English to some monks or something along those lines. By the sounds of it, footy was the last thing on his mind. Perhaps he is keen to just have a kick with his mates at Woodend. If he and Sipthorpe do return, I'll have a gorilla on Woodend at $1.80 Pickles. You'd better starting doing a few shifts at the farm to pay me. Put another thousand on them now, while they're still $3.90.

Leggies? My sporting days are well and truly behind me Matt. Be a sport and give me $1k on the hawks at $2.80. Keep in mind the Smith, Sipthorpe rumours are just that at this stage.

Certainly is looking much fitter and hasn't missed a session.. Easily one of the top players in the comp if he is as fit as he can get himself....
Went and had a squiz at Lancefield's training last night. Had really good numbers (30) and Chris had them in good shape thus far.
The new bloke from Trentham has a bit of size about him and former umpire Robbie Schuller who played in the magoos last year and skippered a few games looks to be the big improver.
After injuring his knee prior to Christmas, Jason Tully was running laps.
Other first 18 players on the track were S. Choate, D. Joseph, S. Crowder, S. Stevenson (first run), Chris Kakoschke, (Trentham bloke).
Could be more but they also had about 9 or 10 Under-18s which is a good sign and Wayne Kraus said that he has around 16 or 17 definites.
I was speaking to Nic Dyer the other day and Romsey have about 35 Under-18s so there will be a few missing out up the road, maybe those who want more opportunities could come to Tigerland.

Player to watch if kilmore get an under 18s side this season! Ben Pronk i think his last name is, moved 2 kilmore from wodonga region, 16 yrs old fit as a fiddle reasonably strong for a 16 yr old, trains better than any of the seniors has good skills both sides of body, strong grab and confident! i would say that without a doubt he will dominate at kilmore n probably the league, n will through out the season play senior football
Tigers shaping well
WITH 21-year-old coach Chris Collins in charge, Lancefield Football Club is shaping to be the big improvers in 2007. While it would be foolish to make finals predictions thus far, there are signs of good things to come on the training track.
Over 30 players hit the park on Monday night, continuing what has been a rewarding pre-season.
There are also positive signs that the club will be able to field an Under 18s side this season after failing to get the numbers last year.
As is the problem with most clubs at the moment, the ground is a long way off playing condition, but president Ian Brown expects it to be right for the first round on April 28.
The Tigers have two practice matches pencilled in – one against Sunshine and another against Central Highlands club Newlyn.
Since last year, Lancefield has lost the services of Nick Dodd (Kyneton) and Scott Clark (overseas). The club has recruited Trentham utility Chris Kakoschke, former club key-position player Owen Kortlang and of course, Collins.
The club is still looking for players and volunteers, so call Ian Brown on 5429 1408 if you are interested.

The new irrigation system means that the bore runs dry when used for a long period of time. The club installed massive water tanks to get the run off the pavilion but they are just about empty.
There are talks of going deeper with the bore and other plans but the ground will be in top nick by R1 I've been assured.
Not sure if this will answer the question but here goes,
Southern Water who have the licences for bores in our area have started to put useage restrictions on bores (quantity of water per year). The water quality may be poor, this is established after the bore is done and may not be fit for use on ground (as is the case of the bore at Macedon Tony Clarke). I am not sure but pickles will know when the bore was hooked up to the ground and what the water quality is like.
There is hundreds of thousands of litres of water under Lancefield. Just you have to go deeper now to get to it. The Lancefield Park Committee (as I understand) didn't go too deep when the bore was installed. Now the water table is lower there isn't much water to gain from the park bore.
Seeing that Lancefield town water is actually from underground, the quality is sensational, with undeground springs coming from the Mt William run-off.
Also, the change rooms are halfway through a renovation and by March, Lancefield FC will reinforce itself as the club with the best facilities (just not the ground at the moment).
Doesn't phase me, I'm retired.

Romsey play Broadford on April 14 thats the only dates I know
Fantastic to hear that something is being done with the change rooms, for a ground that host the biggest day of the year, the change rooms were a big let down. Are they building new rooms or just making changes to the existing rooms.
