Re: Official GVFL thread
Two theories-
Pay decent money $250 a game and you may have people between 25-35 give it go.
Second forget the umpires. Every year people whinge. Good sides get the footy and don't need to worry. In the AFL when the pressure is on a coach, they start to whinge about...
Saw Sean Charles play when he was 16 years old at Tatura. A very good player. Lally Bamblett ex Melb was as good as Charles and won a Morrish medal but again never fulfilled early promise. However Gary Cooper's record in the GV is unsurpassed. 3 morrison medals , runner up 2 or 3 times, 300...
Great to see the passion of you guys about local footy. I haven't been on the forum for a while so I'll play the devil's advocate. Firstly leagues have been talking about suspending players but rarely do because they are too weak. The reason Sunraysia won was because there was talent but more...
Re: Official GVFL thread
Saw the Swans V tat game Saturday. Swans won by ten goals but were very disappointing. No real game plan. Handball it anywhere. If this team is second then GV footy has really slipped. Saw a funny thing. Only one umpire in Ist half. Some bloke comes from the crowd and...
If you read most posts Kelvin you will see that we all think Alvey is a fantastic player with probably the best skills and running game in the League. The problem Alvey has is that he will lack support around the packs this year and this is honestly an area that Alvey is not his strongest. If he...
Re: Official GVFL thread
All country umpires groups have received the new rules on DVD's. They all use the same AFL rule book( obviously some supporters doubt it!!) so the new rules are in. The new 30 second rule for forwards doesn't really apply for most players as they kick it fairly...
Re: Official GVFL thread
This shows how well Seymour is going. For a long time the ground was one of the poorest in the league. Mansfield was always poorer!!! On the far side of the ground it was always a swamp when it rained. When it was dry the cricket pitch was terrible with huge holes...
Simms will make a difference hopefully. What is record for total goals in a year?
Yaablett- massive hole Cole Hedwards will leave. You have to be joking. A hack footballer at best. Sunraysia has few good ruckman and that is why Deckert can dominate.
You blokes must watching different footy to...
Re: Official GVFL thread
GVFL players must now be playing for discount wages. 10 years ago Peter White ( deceased) not the coach was playing for $800 at Ky when they won the flag. Common wages 5 years ago was 500-600 for good players. Tat used to lead the way. In the last few years Mooroopna...
Fellows go back to footy!! New guy at Imps is Sam Pendergast that they hope will play CHF. He is an ex player that has played in the Ammos with Uni Blacks.
Another topic is how much the top players are getting In SFL? Rumours that Rory Hilton is only getting $600 at Euroa but I reckon that is...
Re: Piccola District football league
Rob Wren has previously played at Tungamah and didn't kick 200. He played on the ball and obviously was a gun. May have won the medal or was very close. He then went to Broadford, Euroa etc. Macheda kicked 100 but of that 45-50 against Wunghnu !!! How many...
Drennan was is a gun. Leigh Marshall at Deni, GV Matty Byers, Brad Campbell, Jarrod Sutherland, Saad Saad, Rory Hilton this year?? Murray- Gemmill twins Sunraysia- Alvey, Gathercole, Ryan Hards, Denny Fox
Sunraysia still in pool d. Article in paper during the week says where it is & I think North Central may be hosting. My mail is Leehane may be going back to Ballarat but he has trained once with South & may stay but has been busy with cricket.
South had a practice game last night and I was told...
I know Chris. A good bloke. A big guy like Bell at Red Cliffs. NOt many big FB's. In his last season 2004, in a final waited for the team to be read out. Not named at FF so thought he must in the ruck. Not likely. Sat on the pine for 1/2. FF second half- five goals. Now living in Geelong. Would...
Bell is a very good player. His record of kicking goals is excellent. I have heard him speak to his players a few times. He yells & rants at them. On the ground he also yells at his players. The only coach who had less empathy with his players was Booker. I could be wrong but the team spirit at...
Stueldrier a gun. Kicked 100's year in year out in melb, G>V & O &m
Meka kicked lots of goals in minor leagues.
Trevor sutton Deniliquin 249 goals in mid 80's. Kicked goal 100 in round 7. No brains!!
Shane Loveless should have been a star in VFL. Lots of goals. No brains!!
Many others in GV...
Boys to good see a few knowledgable people posting markets. However what are the quotes on Gathercole, Zappia, Riordan & Leehane. Deckert is a good player but he is slow but reads the play well. Good sides will ensure he is not near the ball. He always sits in the hole at CHB. Not many good...
Waddell coached Jerliderie to a flag in the 80's. Great sides. Got all the fellas down from Darwin. Benny Virogna & brother. Russell Jeffrey also played & coached at Jerilderie before playing at St. Kilda and then came back. In the GV Gary Cooper won 3 medals, runner up a few times and coached...
Plenty of other good players- Alvey,Fox, Gathercole,Riordan, Anstey, Eaton, Maloney, R Hards, Bell. Faulkhead if he plays in the centre and concentrates on playing and forgets opposition players. Chris Lee, Red Cliffs- very handy left footer- Former pioneers, Peter Zappia, Mal Miller when fit...
Re: Offical 18's gvfl thread
How will Shepp Swans go? Have they recruited? Can Matt Hebbard play?
Can you list coaches of all sides? Is Mick Ryan coaching Ky, as when he does they normally are very good?
Re: Official GVFL thread
Generally the G.V site has good discussion but sometimes it is rubbish. "Euroa is going to smash seymour" Grow up writer( you must have a really big IQ) and don't respond others.
Can you cut & paste from the local papers Doona, HJ 32 & others?
Must have been 2002 or before. Can Keams play and can he pull people into line because he will need to play a few in the 2's until they get the message about training and it being a team game.
A bit of information about Keams from Dimboola
Former Dimboola coach Shannon Keam, 26, has signed...
Jasmin has been every where. Has followed Perry Meka a fair bit. In the 90's kicked 75 in the Sunraysia FL. Some clubs are Robinvale, Lemnos, Adromona, Nagambie, Dookie, Coolembally, Mathoura & a few more.
O'Callaghan is a gun. Always give 150% even when side is getting beaten. Last year when Mildura had 6-7 good players missing, a mate said undefeated Irymple would win by 100 points. Mildura won as O'Callaghan is one of the smartest coaches I have seen in Bendido & G.V in the last 30 years...
