Well might be just true, not alot has been said about player who have arrived in Mulwala, and you would think a little more would have been said.... than just our local newspaper? Any truth Slugger?
All credit to Woodend with there recruits, one thing they do well is look after there own and there youngsters. With there U18s coming up Kopke. Germaine , Eastley, Shippard, Arnold, Stacey, Downing who have all played senior football they should place in the top two. Talk is James from Riddell may already have been replaced with another full forward from a different league. Dont know his name yet will keep informed.

I dont see how aaron james is a key footballer at any club in any competition.Yes he is an ex AFL football,his big and can kick goals.
As a player on him all you have to do is get in his ear and then he wants to whack you one then he gets suspended that isnt a key footballer.At Albion last year before he went to Sunbury he was on 15k sign up fee between 800-900 a game then bonuses for kicking goals and the reason why he left is he wanted more money
Could you please define for us your definition of a key postion footballer?
Mine would be a "key position" refers to positions on the ground that are considered vital to the structure of a team.
Key position players make up what is known as the "spine" of a team. Key positions on an Australian rules field are usually deemed to be centre half-forward, full-forward, centre half-back and full-back.
Aaron makes a presence on the field and off, but when it comes down to it, his job is to kick goals, and be on the end of the delievery we give him. Now...if he demands the ball to be kicked long, and it works, and he delivers, by doing what he does best (kicks goals). Then i would say he is a key position player! Wouldn't you? left because you were 'tool's' by all reports!

Sunbury are different, because we knew the bloke could play when he really wants, but we didn't shoot ourselves in the foot and fork out big bucks like you blokes. He played a part in getting us to the finals! Did Albion play finals last year? Didn't think so, but in the end looks as though you lost out, forking all these dollars out and not even making finals...
He is a Key player, can turn game on its head, any bloke who can kick 70 goals in under 10 games is a key! How is that not 'Key'? Wouldn't be a bloke to captain a club, but definetly his AFL experience could be an insight to developing younger players and team structure even if he doesn't take the field, he can still have a massive impact on the club.
More to the bloke than meets the eye, when you give him the oppurtunity.

Lets not get into this argument again.. All these people want to justify to themselves why a player such as AJ wouldn't fit into thier sides, yet would jump at the opportunity with half a chance.. End of story

Not sure how reliable my source of information is. Not a very trustworthy sort of bloke. But you never know.
And to say A.James is not a "key position" player is utter stupidity.

Who knows at this stage Burger, but hard to believe that Jamesy would have left a commitment before he has even started there..
guys, i look like moving to the area in the next couple / few months. i haven't played for a couple of years, but keen enough to meet some people in the area, so am thinking of pulling the boots back on.
i'm interested in your thoughts on the best team to play for, in terms of enjoyment. also keen to find out how far the away trips are? i look like living in the kilmore area, so they're probably a monty, but interested either way.

Kilmore is a good club. The next closest in the RDFL would be Lancefield. Either would be a good choice as they are looking to make the finals this year and need as many players as possible.
Romsey have numbers coming out of their ears as far as I know, although no club would knock you back ... it's just the way the teams are in this comp - friendly!
Lancefield is 12 minutes from Kilmore and the longest away trip from Kilmore would be Rockbank - which is about an hour. Most games are within 30 minutes.
Sunbury would be the place to enjoy your footy and meet some top blokes
But if you look like living in the kilmore area i would say look at either kilmore or perhaps lancefield. kilmore last year were one of the most improved and in my opinion should push for a spot in the finals, Lancefeild won the flag only a few years ago and had a few players leave but look to be on the rebound with the appointment of a new coach and the return of a few players.
i'm not sure i'd be assisting any team in their push towards finals participation. it's been a few years since i've played consistantly, and a few kilo's would now be playing with me.
kilmore seems the easiest option and, if they are a bunch of good blokes, i'm more than happy to kick it around there.
thanks for the info matt and blues.

Any news on Lee James yet? Where he goes will play a huge role in Riddels quest for 3 in a row.
I know Riddel will claim to pick up a player of equal quality if he does leave but he is just one of those special players who have a match winning aura about them. Dont think any replacement they find will be of equal value as jamesy.

Think i know who the discoduck might be. And if his last name is anything to go by he is a large man who is no doubt a back line player with limited skill. hahahaha.
And I cant wait till I hear the discoduck in action when Diggers play kilmore.

Purely what i have been told is that he may have undersold himself to the club and may have pulled out for that reason. Thats what I heard T.S.
