Here come the Hoppers.
Another 4 points tucked away for the boys at Hopper Park.
But can someone explain a couple of things I found very strange at the game y'day.
1. A. Butler went into the game under an injury cloud, there is a bye next week which he could have benefited from. but he plays and...
Nah mate, I was the well behaved one.
We're you the one with L for Loser imprinted on your forehead?
What has happened to Mark Doolan?
He is not a patch on the player he was a coupe of years ago judging by his efforts yesterday.
Is he carrying an injury?
How sweet it is............
The Mighty Hoppers in the five and Raiders zip 6.
Matty might not have played today, Dan "The Man" Leslie turned on a clinic instead and beat the poor old Raiders by himself.
Let's hear the excuses from the boys from Birallee Park about this result.
Welcum back Matty.
We knew you would come back to Hopper Park.
Let's hope you can inspire us to another win and keep the poor old Raiders winless for another week.
Out we come, out we come....
Four points in the bag, how many did raiders have got?
zip, zero, zilch.
And guess wot you've got half our side and still couldn't win.
When is Matt Murray going to play?
Big mistake Matty, stick with the strength at Hopper Park.
We'll smash Myrleford this week and...
This is the problem with the Raiders they have always got a bloody excuse.
They can't escape from the fact that there performances over the last few years have been hoorendous for a club which is in large pop'n base, have access to good sponsors, employment opps.
Stop making excuses and give us...
Raiders are a pathetic excuse for a football club.
If Myrtleford wasn't so bad this mob would be the laughing stock of the comp.
ok rovers were too good on the day, but if you believed the bshite coming out of BPark during the off-season they were going to charge up the ladder and be challenging...
On the BM website.
They are milking this nicely by releasing 10 a day building up to the final 10 on sat when they are not at work.
Bet Jonno will have something up his sleeve just to be different.
Credit where credit is due to tho, they aren't including players who haven't played in the comp...
Any thoughts on the Border Mail's top 40 players?
Will be interesting to see who they pick at No.1.
But, I raised my eyebrows at a couple of selections, eg Paul Sanson and Matt Fowler, today.
I didn't think Sanson was that good and Fowler has been on the slide for a few years now.
Maybe they are...
You are right.
In the past the league has always been pro-active in finding someone to coach the team without having to advertise which has happened this year.
Let's be honest Robbie struggled big time last year and the fact he was assistant coach probably saved him his spot in the Wodonga side...
Okay Run Wide, you are right, I did make the stats up.
My mistake, in fact on reflection I reckon I have over estimated his contribution to CR last year.
He wasn't that good and that is the reason why he was on the pine as you so eloquently put it.
Face facts, he was out of his depth, just...
Fair go Bright Boy, Way is a spud.
What sort of player would front the coach in a finals series and says he is not getting a fair go after he is average 3 kicks, two handpasses, 1 mark (uncontested) and 4 hitouts a game and walks out?
You should have listened to an interview on OAKFM during the...
Corporate lingo and me don't mix.
But there really needs to be a strategic approach to the situation in the Ovens Valley.
The people who are involved in football up there, administrators, supporters, players, volunteers, juniors, need to have input.
1. They need to leave their vested interests...
Excellent summation, switch.
The big winners from the day were no doubt the Panthers.
The battle between Bradshaw and Anderson was a beauty. No doubt they will lock horns again this year.
Bradshaw was all over anything lavi could serve up last year so he looks like he has the job when they next...
You can also pencil in Jamie's two brothers have followed him across to the magpies from the Rovers as a result of this scuffle.
Bet there is a bit of heat in the first Wang derby this year.
Might be just the spark to get the Hawks going after four or five years of limp efforts the sight of the...
Who are the blokes Myrtleford are supposed to be signing this weekend?
Unless they are guns, I'm afraid the club is wasting its time playing in the O and M this year.
They were terrible last year and I feel sorry for the 21 players they send into battle this year, particularly against the top...
OM starts the weekend April 5-6.
Best games in round one are lavington and yarra on the sat and Albury and Wang at Albury on the Sunday which should draw a big crowd given the Tigers fans aren't scared to jump on the bandwagon paricularly with one P. Spargo behind the wheel.
The Tiges had an...
Has Jamie Allan found out the hard way you don't switch teams in Wang and not pay a price?
Am hearing the broken finger he has got might be the result of an altercation with a former Rovers teammate recently.
Would have had to improved a lot to be a regular senior player in a top five side.
Didn't set the world on fire at Yarra, but in saying that I am pretty sure Josh Frawley was at Pigeon-land at the same time and was the No.1 ruck and deservedly so.
If anyone thinks Nigel Hill is a big loss for the Rovers they weren't at the same games I was at.
I cringed every time I saw him play with the great man Rob Walker's No.12 on his back.
Whoever let that happen should hang there head/s in shame.
I thought the Rovers had more respect for their past...
Where is Raider Boy?
I thought he would be crowing about another signing at Birra Park?
Word on the street this morning is Luke Martyn (ex-Myrtleford) has been signed up by Lambo.
Can the Faders of recent years make the five?
Or have they recruited a lot of B graders with the exception of the...
I think you are going to have to wait a couple of weeks and until they are included on the new OM website which is now in use.
It's called teething problems, but Matt Murray has a clearance into Raiders and Aydan Brown has one into Rand-Walbundrie I'm told
Wot the freak is happening at Bunton...
With Schmidt now a confirmed departure from Corowa is the final five set before a ball is bounced?
Wang, Lavington, Wodonga, Albury and Yarra all look like good things to make the finals and the rest can please themselves I reckon.
Corowa will be the best team outside the five and Raiders could...
It's massive news if it's true that Allan has crossed that 10 foot of tar that separates the two clubs.
What has happened to get to this point given the jungle drums have been beating about a move since the end of the season that he was disgruntled.
This would not have happened in years gone by...
Yeahm went to the funeral. It was massive.
Robert Walls, Paul Roos and Grant Lawrie for memory all turned up for a legend of the OM.
Bout time someone thought of nominating him for the OM Hall Of Fame me thinks'
