I heard a rumour last week that Leigh Harding is coaching Bannockburn next year. That was the talk at stalbans on sat. Anyone heard anything?

who votes for coach of the year anyway?
no offence to the banno boys, or Hyland from last year, but Grgic loses 5 games in three years, two flags with a good look at a third and named by the wider geelong sports fraternity as Best coach last year and doesnt get a look in at the comp level?

I totally agree. Grgic hasn't done too much wrong. Is he coaching next year?
 
Tips this week:
BPH by 24 pts. They play St.Albans so well and have to many winners all over the ground. I am really looking forward to watching the 2 best teams all year go head to head.
Banno by 15 pts. Banno should bounce back over east. Butch Shaw a big inclusion as they where smashed in the middle last week. Banno need Aaron Eddy up and going he was very sore last week.

we have had initial talks with him and i think the club and Grg are on the same page.

Unless Brett Ratten wants to start from scratch we arent looking for anyone else, and unless a VFL/AFL club will have a spot for him that his missus will let him out of the house for, i think we will see Grg at Myers reserve in 2013.

I would of thought that coach of the year would come from the grandfinal winner or a coach that has improved his teams win-loss ratio. So Grgic should at least won coach of the year once if not twice ? Not sure how much Banno win-loss ratio improved on this year from last year ?

BPH to win 28pts over Thomp (but replay in grandfinal will be a real close call)
East to win 12 Pts over Banno ( but Thomp to win easily over east next week)
 
Banno very disappointing today.Bannos finals record over the last 5 years is ordinary. They need to target a ruckman they where smashed in the middle again. east looked very sharp the wide open space of St.Albans really suited there runners. Should be a cracker next week. thomson v east

Absolutely shaping up to be a beauty Thomson vs east. Didn't watch yesterday's game but by what I've east east looked very sharp and very quick. Have they come good at the right time of year? Would have to overturn a 90 point drubbing Thomson handed to them 5-6 weeks back but it seems they are playing like a different team right now. I know bell post got the points on satday but Thomson were impressive and would take confidence out of that game if a rematch occurred. Only after yesterday's result a walk in the park would be off the cards surely. Bell post hill I'd assume would have a few members watch this satdays game very closely
 
i picked the wrong side to go out in straight sets!
in hindsight Banno's ladder position was inflated due to the fact they only played one of the finalists twice during the year.

i think werribee would be the biggest losers from the ladder anomaly, having to play east who pumped them late in the season in an Elimination final rather than a shot at thomo who they matched up well against during the year. even if they lost the first final, having game time on the bigger ground would have better prepared them for the inevitable east clash. that Said, east are turning it on at the right time of the year.

Quote from Addy a few weeks back.

"
Planning has already begun for next season, with 70 per cent of the current Magpie list already signed on for 2013.


This includes Ryan, assistant playing coach Daniel Gibbs and star forward Paul Breguet."

I hope the weather is better tomorrow. Should be a good game east are playing good footy. I hope thomson play Russ Grigg in the ruck I have no idea why he spent so much time in the forward line the last 2 games. If he plays forward ben bolton will give the likes of o'toole and challis first use of the ball. Looking forward to some good one on one contest's all over the ground. In the end I think thomson will advance to the grand final by 13 pts
 
Well done east. They are playing some really good footy at the right time of the year. They can give BPH a real shake Saturday.
grigg must have been very sore over the last few weeks because they played him up forward for most of the day last week and this week I couldnt belive that Thomson brought in Jeremy Babb.
 
Who is everybody's tip for this week? East have all the momentum in the world and I think that will be enough to get them over the line on Saturday to exact revenge for last year's result.

Going to have to agree bad buddy. Even with the week off for bph, east looked very quick and moved the ball very well. Murphy consistently proves to be a handful and challis and ricky run wild, would not surprise me if bph came out and grinded out a win after the doubt is placed on them though
 
Corio has signed some big names this week. Jason and Shane Bourke from south warnambool, billy Nicholls and Blake Hutchinson and a few more too come in coming weeks.

I no there's a few boys not happy with the results this year which is totally understandable no-one at the club was happy with some off the performances this year. We have another 6-8 that were confident will be signing over the next few weeks. So those guys that r unsure off staying I'm confident they will stay, they want to be more competitive next year and we will definately suprise a few next season we r definately aiming to be playing finals next season and won't settle for anything less. There's already about 15 senior players training once a week at eastern beach and twice a week at the gym so that's great for us. This is the hardest the club has ever gone in recruiting. Finally the club is in the position too recruit hard.
 
I havent seen Billy play for a few years but he must be well past his best. It would be great to see some of the bottom teams move up the ladder.

It will be a cracking game tomorrow East are playing great footy. BPH have been the best all year. My tip BPH by 10 points
