Was a pretty good weekend of football in East Gippy for the semi finals. Games generally went as expected although the extra time thriller in the reserves on Sunday added a bit of spice to the weekend. On Saturday it was a tough battle with Lindenow coming out on top at the final siren. WyYung...

Definitely a sacking. I am told that Ford is not the kid of bloke to walk out on a job and effectively admit defeat. I am under the impression Ford was instructed to play young blokes including several thirds on a regular basis. It was part of the proposal that he and the Club agreed on in the...

Anyone got any news from practice matches? I've heard that Cowwarr beat Lindenow convincingly last weekend and Rosedale did the same to Lakes. Orbost and Paynesville played eachother in a close game. Stratford went ok against Boisdale. Yesterday Gormandale beat Lucknow by a goal, Boisdale...

Still not much happening on this thread. Few rumours hitting the area recently. Orbost are in a bit fo strife player wise with double figures on the track very rare at this stage. Paynesville are throwing the money around targetting unproven young players from other EG clubs with big bucks...

Much news out of Bdale? Any big recruits from out of the area or players heading in there from EG Clubs? Saw a clearnace for Bayden Ashwood from Lindenow into the Redlegs in what might be a shifty move by both clubs which will allow Justin Blair to head to the Cats. Was probably a little...

Re: Nth Gippsland Football League p2 Neagle is really good mates with Staz and Matt Cameron as well as a few of the other boys now. I actually saw Neagle's mum yesterday and she was looking forward to having Jay back in town next year. Could be plenty to this rumour gents.

Orbost still yet to appoint a coach. Pretty difficult down there as there are not too many reasons for people to come to town and the closest clubs to poach from are Lakes, Buchan and Bruthen. No club wants to raid the Omeo clubs as they need all the help they can get, while getting a Lakes...

Re: Nth Gippsland Football League p2 It's not a hoodoo... The moons just haven't aligned on the right day to make it happen... As for Mick Higgins and Marc Andrew... They are both reasonable footballers... Served their respective clubs well in the past... Actually Higgins in more than a...

Any more news on coaching appointments? My understanding is the Swanny job has been filled by a non playing coach who may have coached some junior interleague footy recently? Have heard nothing out of the Creek.

My understanding is Rod Bills played footy at Lakes for several years including the '88 flag before heading into Bairnsdale to play in the major league in the 90's. He might have played a couple of seasons back at Lakes then took up the coaching gig at Orbost and won that flag you speak of. May...

Re: Mid Gippy 2011 It's a family thing. Jumbo did the same [plenty of years ago now] and took a couple out there for the cause then returned to Traralgon to be a major part of what they are doing now. Good on Sam if he is. He's a good kid and been a dominant player for 7 or 8 years in the...

Pretty sure that Brad Paris has been appointed Senior Coach of Lucknow. If it is true, he would be a huge signing for the club as he has excellent credentials from down the line and was an integral part of the Lindenow premiership both on and off the field this year. Local legend, Chris...

Any news on coaching appointments around the traps? Obviously the Creek are looking with Grant Mooney moving interstate and I understand that Swanny are also in the hunt with Adam Rees choosing not to/being asked not to do the job again in 2012. Are the other four clubs sorted for coaches?

Mayhem, not sure I have ever seen a bloke pump up the tyres of his mates quite as well as you do [Read: S. Nicholls & A. Burgiel]. They must be very honoured to have such a loyal mate and 'large' fan base. As for the Hendo celebrations, any 6ft 4in off spinner should just turn, take his cap...

Pumpter, can you elaborate on the celebration techniques of the mighty Hendo...? And what of the Hurricain Devils? Middle of the road at best or a slight finals chance?

Yep, Skip to Wonthaggi. Good move for the bloke who has been Gormy's best midfielder for the last decade (since he was 18) and among the best in the comp (without the recognition) for the last 5 years. Stix is an interesting appointment. Whether he plays or not will also be a point of...

Mayhem. Still waiting on the names of those 5 blokes you claim are weighing up their futures at Sale. C'mon share the love with the rest of Gippsland. Would only be better for footy in the area if some of those blokes went and coached at a minor league level.

As stated in the Bairnsdale Advertiser today, John Dick has taken over as coach at Lindenow. Morgan Davies to be his right hand man. Any news on the Lucknow, Lakes, Paynesville or Orbost jobs? Grant Mooney was discussed in an earlier post but is out of the hunt for any of those positions...

Cory Bannister will coach at Cowwarr again after going pretty close to a GF berth this year and with the belief that 2012 could be the year of the Warr. The older brigade of players [Cooper, Cooper, Hood, Ferguson and surely one D. Ivey] will more than likely all go around again. Brett McMaster...

I'm guessing the goal square got 3 pretty good workouts Mayhem.

Why possibly would they spend that kind of money on a new playing group when they are coming off a senior premiership? 80k, or even 50k if they commit some to facilities, is well and truly above what you would expect to spend at a club in a league that is commonly accepted as the worst league in...

Sandeman a certainty at Boisdale/Briagalong.

25k for Schuey is a lot of dough, especially for a club like Yarram I would have thought. He would be on the best part of 15k as is with little or no repsonsibilities and coming off back to back flags, so I can't see why he would move on unless he has aspirations to coach. However Nugget you...

Mayhem... Be a good bloke and drop some names so those of us on the lookout for senior players/potential coaches in 2012 get a little bit of inside running...

Any news on the coachig front in East Gippsland??? I gatehr Turk and Boo are solid at their respective clubs. Kennedy will not reapply for the job at Lakes. Kelly will not reapply for the job at Lucknow. Orbost are always looking for someone new and what about Paynesville? Will there be any...

Interesting to see Cowwarr in third spot and Gormandale in ninth spot at this time of year... Pretty much a straight swap from this time last year... Big game this weekend for the Warr against Heyfield on the march... Gormandale were gone from the start... Other than the win against Cowwarr...

Boisdale/Briag have officially declared their hand in regards to joining the EGFNL next year and, as expected, are staying put in the North Gippy. However Stratford are very keen and will be having a meeting with all their members in the coming weeks to have an official vote as to whether they...

Anyone know the story with the Cougars? Obvously a 1 point win isn't everything but they were considered no real chance at the beginning of the round. Does that just show that TTU's plethora of kids are simply that and won'tbe able to stand up to the tougher stuff or was it one out of the bag...

Was lucky enough to witness one of the best games of country footy I have seen in several years yesterday. Bairnsdale vs Traralgon was an epic battle. Despite the Maroons having a few missing (read: coach Jennings, McKenna and Jones) it was an outstanding games of football. The players...

Sorry to ruffle your feathers a little further here Tomm, but last year teams in the GFL had a bye. So what Bairnsdale have done is provide more games of football for the seniors, 3rds and 4ths - not less. The reserves are the only ones who effectively still have the bye. I would have thought...
