possible GUN RECRUITS : I am in the process of trying to snag three former team mates from the geelong district league.john couzens, brett pollard and glenn travaille.3 gun midfielders. i have a verbal committment at this stage,but due to a week of celebrating i am yet to close the deal. there is also two players i have definately snagged,but at this stage i will keep them up my sleeve

 

[goblues09]

did hear a whisper kilmore could be gaining the services of Jamie Cann from Balranald. Also heard 2004 Bowen runner up Linton Kemp might be returning to Kilmore and bringing a couple up from Wallan, aswell as 2002 joint Bowen medallist Robbie Wittmer who is due to return from the UK - but being only September we have 6 months to wait and see what all this hear say brings to 2007, but having been glad to be done with 2006, there is something bout grand final day that makes me wish it was already March 2007!!!

 

[Thats_Special]

Big moves for Kilmore.. They will only improve again.. Any other movements at this stage??? I realise it is only early. Will Riddell keep the kids at the club? Will James stay, Peatling? Etc

Jamie Cann is a gun. I played juniors @ Craigieburn with him....... He played for Tassie VFL a couple of years back?????

yeah he was a few years above me at Assumption - good player, but i doubt he would come across to Kilmore. Wittmer and Kemp remain the most likely to return to the club and would be extremely valuable as i think the Blues could improve immensely with someone like Wittmer in the ruck. Ah well will be a looooooong summer, warm weather will be good but nothing beats footy!!!

Kilmore will need plenty of coin to secure Cann. Played against him when he was at Balralald and he was massively over rated. He rates himself more than anyone else in Country Vic

 

[Sunqvist]

Who won all the b&f's?
only heard jose (dr) robertson (kilmore) m mcinerny (sk)

Few rumours i have heard

Lancefield trying to get Burlak (romsey)

Meldrum linked to EDFL clubs, also L. Carroll

Rockbank secured a couple of good sponsors and maybe getting two/three fringe players from Hoppers Crossing (wrfl)

Mark Scerri (bendigo Bomber)a chance to go to Woodend.

Wadden and Gadsden to leave riddell

What a **** . . . . Mt. Pleasant would run rings around Riddell, and the HDFL as a whole is a better standard than the RDFL.
I followe the KDFL and that is about the same standard as RDFL footy.

Doona most of the time you're on the money, but this time I would have to disagree. If Riddell played Mount Pleasant ten times, the Bombers would win eight of those matches. If Romsey played Heathcote they would win. If Lancefield played North Bendigo they would win. Only Rockbank couldn't beat a side from the HDFL.

I think the Heathcote League is of a good standard, but I think the Riddell League is better. One qualm I had with that report is that it ranked the Bendigo FL above the Ballarat FL. I know Gisborne would probably win the Ballarat League if they were in it, but the other clubs are much more competitive than Bendigo's, who boast clubs such as Kyneton, Maryborough, Kangaroo Flat etc.

Bacchus Marsh and Melton South this year were as bad as Kyneton and Maryborough.

East Point - 208
Bacchus - 9

Redan - 247
Bacchus - 42

Sunbury - 223
Bacchus - 42

East point - 225
Melton South - 18

East Point - 213
Melton South - 36

Bacchus Marsh and Melton South this year were as bad as Kyneton and Maryborough.

I would argue that there is more hope of Bacchus Marsh and Melton South getting back up there than there is of Kyneton and Maryborough. I hear that Kangaroo Flat might have a few handy recruits up their sleeeves.

I think the Ballarat FL as a whole is better than the Bendigo FL, and that East Point, Sunbury and Redan would be much better competition for Gisborne, who at times appeared to be a little bored on the field, even against top-five clubs.

Maryborough won 6 and Kyneton 5 games for the year - the Marsh won 1, South 3 and Sebastapol 4.

Golden Sqaure defeated Gisborne twice this year and South Bendigo deafeted them once. They have good competition.

Gisborne beat themselves by playing arrogant, unteam-like football. The players will even tell you that.

Ballarat FL competes in division one of interleague and the depth of club lists are generally longer than most in the Bendigo FL in my opinion. I haven't seen a lot of Ballarat League games so I'm happy to stand corrected if people think I'm wrong.

I reckon this is just a report by someone with a little bit too much time on their hands and deliberately trying to be mischeivious.

I reckon you can take it in the same way you do a lot of the stuff you read this time of year.

From memory i found it on the EDFL Thread. Thought it would be good reading and some healthy debate.
