Re: Official GVFL thread
EB, haven't you already named Dale Reyne as your distinguished "player to watch for '06"? Has he decided not to play at the Bombers or are you simply going to eventually name the entire Echuca list as players to watch, including Craig Sholl, Ash Byrne and Simon...

What i really want to know though Fan is whether Rhys will be returning to his journalistic roots and penning some more hard hitting stories about himself for the Shepp News?
Re: Official GVFL thread
And look at the recently installed counter on the Lions website skyrocket - surely this hasn't been a sneaky little advertising campaign from the FBP?
In my opinion he was at his best while sculpting his size XXL biceps and pectoral muscles in the gym during many a pre-season.
His biceps have still been known to scare little children
Re: Official GVFL thread
How about Matty Peake Grandale? Violates your more than one season rule, but he was a winner off a wing, whereas, say bernie haberman probably hasn't played that position in his time at lions
I love Ian Baker in the pocket though, my favourite story of bakes at...
Re: Official GVFL thread
Is that around the time when Stuhldrier was kicking thousands of goals each season? What happened - were they a bit stiff or just choked?
Re: Official GVFL thread
Ha, the big Mac. He's the matty richo of the comp - if he was to kick a bag he'd need about a thousand shots on goal. I think you rochy boys may unfortunately know all too well about that though
Re: Official GVFL thread
I'm nearly with you on Echuca's midfield mix EB. I'd say if they can get that group together (and Smith comes back ok after a year off) it would be better than the mix Euroa had this year. Neither teams have a ruckman of great quality though (and for the Euroa guys...
Re: Official GVFL thread
Nah Duff Man, Johnny Mac was the Pokies Machine - you put your money in and every so often you have a win, but at the end of the day, you're usually just left with a hole burnt in your pocket and that feeling of knowing you've just wasted your money
Re: Official GVFL thread
Just because people get paid to play football doesn't automatically make them below average human beings who take the money and run young Sidey, and good recruiting should ensure this. The exception would be Balraj Singh
Re: Official GVFL thread
You'd be right about Rattray Junkie, he would have been on squirt - he came from the KDFL, not exactly the domain of footballers who could run into a GV club and demand stacks of cold hard cash.
Re: Official GVFL thread
Reputations are made in finals though BOSS, especially GFs. Unfortunately, despite having good years (re: Grainger, Lamaro etc) players who throw up shockers in big games get judged and remembered by that. And they'll have to wait a whole year to (possibly) get a chance...
Yeah, fair call.
Just ran out on the lead, just leapt from a meter or two back, just stood upright on a blokes back, and just brought it down. Just in a grand final and just in front of a massive crowd, and just at the end all the Seymour supporters were standing.
Oh yeah, and the bloke is...
Re: Official GVFL thread
I would suggest that there is a mounting case that Ash just wasn't quite good enough - no shame in that either, 5 years on a list shows the club saw more than just a little bit of potential, but at some stage you've got to take it further
Re: Official GVFL thread
FBP makes us all laugh, but I would have thought Euroa dominating all season only to lose softly in the final quarter of a Grand Final against their biggest rival would still be cracking you up?
