If quality players are continually goin to leave the wimmera league to play in the much lower standard district league, wimmera officials have to start looking at how they can make it more enticing for players to stay in the much better league. Seeing as though the three horsham teams have a...

Has fitted in like a dream to horsham demons surroundings. Noone likes him just as noone likes the team. Typical glory seeker that went to horsham to have a premiership medal put round his neck. Only + about him is his size in a league that lacks an abundance of quality talls. Lack of football...

This is how i would pick them. Fritsch Matthews Rentsch Holloway Mibus Graham Clugston Greig Smith Fratin Tuckey J. Combe Barnett Johns M. Combe McFarlene Kosch Potter Midgley/Miller, Carr, Krahe, Bligh

Ararat might have the best ground but noone would turn up to waatch the game. They had stawell play who is only just down the road and still struggled to get anyone at the ground. The fact that wimmera hierachy played two finals there in two weeks has nothing to do with the state of the...

By the way kepler bradley should not pull on the boots for the bombers ever again. so clumsy infront of goals could cost essendon the game again!!

Would like to see bolton get him as he has done the job on goodes who is as athletic as franklin playing deep may worry him though. Franklin doesn't take many contested grabs but takes more on the lead and this is why kris massie did so well against him. Fletcher to Roughead, Mal to boyle, NLM...

Mid Season Report: Demons - have carried on their winning fashion this year with the inclusions of fromer demon aaron barnett and lachie woodward strengthening a very good team. Jarrod Wright is back up and going and will help come finals time. Minor slip up against stawell and game v dimmy...

Warrack people are kidding themselves if they think gunn, krahe or okley will be up there because they are going to win maybe 1 more if they are lucky. Tuckey looks to have it sown up, with mcfarlene, bligh, kosch till injured, to be not far away. Not sure for the diggers mayb mibus if he can...

Graham probablnhills best player at the moment. Rock solid defender that mightn't get the best forward but sets up play well from defence. Good challenge if he does take on delahunty but definitely expect graham to take the points and be among nhills best. Hopefully can help out the key position...

Batson and beer are probably the only two with big enough motors to go with kosch, and with beer being one of nhills playmakers, don't know if they can afford him to tag. May not play close enough either. Whereas batson can go with him, shut down adlington for a half against horsham, would...

Dimmys got more problems than players at the moment by all accounts so don't be surprised if they just sneak into the 5 or miss out altogether. Talented side but not really functioning as a team. On paper every bit as good as horsham, in the game, results speak for themselves. United and...

Agree totally that the core horsham players are there and are very good contributors. Would still be very hard to beat. My point is i believe horsham should be rewarding loyal players from the reserves or juniors that may not be quiet up to it, but will help them develop long term. And they...

What are peoples thoughts for the games this weekend?? Diggers v. Eagles; Diggers 40+ Rats v. Roos; Rats by 10 Burras v. Tigers; Tigers by 15 Saints v. Demons; Demons by 150+ Diggers have too much leg speed and run over an ageing warrack team. Look for miller to return to form with a bag...

Everyone plays football to get premierships but i wouldn't resort to tactics like that. It wouldn't mean much since you have no feeling of fighting for one. That would leave more of an empty feeling in my gut rather than a fulfilling one. Thats why when ararat and warrack won their premierships...

I think your the one with the clouded judgement because it is just coincidence that these players came to horsham after they had won a flag or two???? You think they would've come if horsham was unsuccessful. I congratulate horsham on their coaches being homegrown but i'm sure smith would've...

Loyalty should be a big part of country footy. All kids grow up dreaming of playing in a senior premiership for their home team. Players that jump round tryin to chase a premiership and auctioning themselves off to the highest bidder is what is dragging a lot of country leagues down. Playing...

So you're telling me players like woodward, leeming, arnel, batchelor, perkins didn't swap clubs to play in a premiership side. The fact that horsham players such as jye smith and andy carter are now playing at other wimmera league clubs suggests that horsham aren't necessarily a group of good...

Standard has dropped dramatically since around 2002. Ararat and warrack went from powerhouses to whipping boys in the space of a few seasons. A horsham side that struggled to beat those two went onto to become untouchable without any personal changes. The most dissapointing thing is that the...

Surely a graham, fritsch or even cole could roll off their lesser players and cover the space infront of midgley. Horsham do the same for johns and lannin was solid against him, and johns is a better player so its a good match up to see where lannin is at. Beer has been good this year but...

Jus wondering how minyi murtoa are travelling and what nhill's chances are on the weekend. Believe lannin can keep midgley under 5. Who would go with kosch and what sort of player is he?? In-and-under or outsider, stocky or slight, fast/slow, height,etc. Because if nhill can restrict the amount...

Where is all the money coming from for the district league clubs??? Most are tiny towns that gets most of their players from horsham so i can't understand why people would pour money into a sub-standard league because the wimmera league is suffering for it. Players like butsch, Burdett, and the...

The way nhill played against dimboola shows that they could more than make up numbers at finals time. Dimboola was close to full strength and nhill outplayed them. If players like lannin, graham and merrett stand up in finals and a dodds watson or phillips can kick a score they could be a...
