I have been thinking about your response for a bit Shagger and granted you make some valid points, especially as i haven't heard Hoggie talk to his group of players for the last couple of years. However one comment that i would make is that sometimes as a coach its not what you say to players...

I've been away from O&M football for the last few years and still find it baffling that Hodgson hasn't changed his spots as a coach. You look at the most decorated coaches in sport and its those that can evolve with the game that come up trumps. To mind Sheedy, Matthews in the AFL, Buchanan in...

I can't talk about this year Gun, but you do make an excellent point about making sure that umpires have a personality. I cant imagine that they want to spend two hours on a weekend not being involved with the players and enjoying the game. The only issue with this is that some players dont...

Im going to go against the grain on this one and would argue that Prior isnt in the same league as most of those other players. I will preface it by saying that i havent seen him play for Raiders, but the times that I saw him play for North he did nothing to impress me at all. Sure he...

Shit you got me with that one Einstein :cool:

Do you seriously think that Steve Harrison would be posting on this forum? But you have used one of the signature sayings of the person that i was trying to hang shite on.... but perhaps i was a little too subtle!

Just out of curiosity KM - what did Brendan VS do to you to get under your skin so much? Or is this your motherly instrinct coming out - NAG NAG NAG!!!!

I think you will find he meant 3 of the 4 that travel from Melbourne Tiger! not the whole team :rolleyes:

What would be base level for O&M players?

You obviously dont like McCormick Big Fella since you have now become the best friend of any of his opponents over the next few weeks... Wouldnt it be easier to turn up to the game with a can of red paint and just spray a big Target symbol on the back of his jumper?

Good guess Tigerrr.... but i think your reading far too much into my login name. I picked it because i was having a shot at King Eddie being the Channel 9 CEO not that i run the O&M. But thanks for thinking i was!

At the end of the day i couldnt care less if they were 300kg... as long as they are entertaining to watch and play a good game... and Hoggie, Jock and Fulton always do that any time i see them. Or to pardon the pun - the proof probably is in the pudding!!!

Would Tossol want to go back to a club he has already been at before?

:confused: What a crock Winmar!!! I've been following O&M footy for the last 20 years and other than the small amount of votes that Brett Kirk recieved one year, i cant remember one other occurance where the Morris Medal was in dispute as to who did or didnt win the medal. But im happy...

sorry to burst your bubble rowger but i think Ozz did mean Rocket Surgeon... rocket surgery (n.) a play on words which mixes two common metaphors: "rocket science" and "brain surgery" Just remember Ozz that Home & Away is on the same time as Kath and Kim :cool:.

Sounds like someone got spanked by their opponent on the weekend... You could be playing the wrong footy code Bronco!

Bosco - The idea of giving stick to someone is to actual make them think or at the very least be funny. You are neither - so feel free to crawl back under the rock you came from. Make sure you dont graze your knuckles on the ground during the trip too.

I would have thought that the reason the league rates the imports as you call it, is that generally they are key position players that are extremely good at what they do and come with a reputation. So if you were on the interleague selection panel (and yes there is a panel not just Bence -...

Wonga, I hope i didnt come across as being harsh to either Bob Craig or Martin Cross. I was actually trying to highlight to people that Crossie shouldnt be forgotten in the Yarra success for all the reasons you highlight.

Without wanting to make BigFooty a mutual admiration society, Craigy did do a sensational job. That being said I would think that he (and Steak this year) also have the benefit Martin Cross. I would have to say is one of the best footy minds in O&M. Very much an understated General of the...

KM - credit where credit is due : Brilliant reply. I'm lead to believe that alot of those things are being done this year after the umps got a good committee in Albury, but like all things it does take a little time to come through. But hopefully the men in orange read the site and take...

KM - You got me on the accepting criticism... but as for being fit - what are the umpires going to do. Get a cat of 9 tails and whip them if they dont want to turn up to training? Give me break!!! How many coaches would like all their players to run out 100 minutes of football or be half...

It is pretty easy to sh!tcan them on a forum, but what useful things can we as a footy community do to help them? - Give them names of retired players? - Throw a few more $ to them to get someone willing enough to throw on the orange? - Cut down abuse on forums and at games? - Ask them...

I'm guessing that you would have to issue each player with a brown paper bag coming in through the gate in order to collect the remnents of their mad monday celebrations. Sounds good in theory, but has much chance of happening as i have of winning a snorting contest with a West Coast Eagle! :D

Crumber I think you are right about the money. I work with one of the local ump's and over a beer i asked the same thing. He said that all the umpires in Vic country went to the VCFL for a pay rise and only managed to get 3%. He also said that the umps who do the O&M seniors only get paid...
