Great win for the Devils on the weekend to get their season back on track with an undermanned side and not one tipster picked them. Here is the press straight off the DFC website:
Miller Magic Lifts Devils
Brad Miller booted 9 goals in a magical display that lead the Devils to a 25 point away victory over Sunbury on Saturday 1 July. The victory sees the Devils rise to 4th position on the BFL ladder.
200 gamer Travis Stephenson said after the match that it was a very long time since he had beaten the mighty lions at their own den.
But it was Brad Miller that supplied the inspiration. He not only booted nine, but booted them when they were most needed, such as the two late goals he calmly slotted late in the third term to give the Devils some much needed breathing space.
He had a great partner up forward in Lee Cox, who kicked five goals and dragged down mark after mark in the windy conditions.
Others to impress included Mr Consistent Matt Cape, former Sunbury players Cannard and McCabe and Daniel Farrar (4 goals) who surprised the opposition with his hard running and canny goal sense. McLeod and Younger also were important.
Coach Power was proud of his troops and acknoweldged Miller's mighty game but also cited the development of some of the teams younger players and lesser lights as a very pleasing factor.
The reserves put together there worst display of the year in going down 26 goals to five. They had no match for regular seniors key forward Matt Baird who ended with 11 goals and now slip to 5th on the ladder. Only Rick Leaonard, Scott McKay and Leigh Freestone managed to perform to their best.
The thirds got beat by 11 goals but certainly had a crack at the more fancied Sunbuy outfit. Darren Leonard, Whitney, D King, C kettle, Jae McGrath, Hilbert and Matthews were the best players.

This would have to rate at as Matt Power's greatest coaching win. In his time they never have beaten Sunbury and this year they have won twice. But to do it at Sunbury where he is a club legend would give him great satisfaction. Rumblings at Sunbury could see M.Power out as coach replaced by M.Power in for 2007!

I think that win for the devils will secure Matt Power's coaching aspirations at the devils for at least another year. Gives the young side a belief in themselves.
Heard rumours that a boxing coach was called in for training last night at sunbury to belt some form into the players. Any truth to this rumour kings army.
Why is baird, fleming and mcCabe in the reserves???
And is Serge's knee serious?

Is there anyone from any of the Ballarat teams that get on here and talk or is it all sunbury, darley, bacchus marsh and melton?
Is this baird you speak of young matt baird? Son of the famous Peter 'Polly' Baird who played over 300 games in the MMFL/CMFL?

No players boxed - it was work on the speed ball and punching bag.
Baird kicked 11 on the weekend and will play this weekend. But the 3 were playing 2's for some attitude issues.
Could be ACL for Serge - he willl find out this Thurs.
Did anyone see how Scoble broke his finger in the first 10 seconds? Not about effort from him to get 2nd best on ground. There maybe some life in those fat little legs after all!
The two Powers are arguably the two best coaches in the BFL. Great rivallry and both showing they are doing great things with young sides. I imagine there is to be a fair push for Demon Power to return to Sunbury and partner up his younger brother Mark, if that happens, look out, would be very very difficult to stop, both extremely good tactically.

Poor comment Jarman03
Melton South might have a new coach but most of the others will stay.
Has anyone heard about Bacchus MArsh applying for CHFL affiliation next season?

Scoble was named in the best i see. rumour has it he and Serge Power had a little dip at each other early in the game.
ive also heard that a few clubs have Troy Scoble in their sights for a coaching position in 2007.

That would not surprise me at all Vineyard, have you heard something? Seeing the soft c oc ks at Daylesford wanted to be big fish in a little pond after missing the finals in the BFL for the first time in 6 years in 05 and were let in, the Marsh would be a monty to get the green light. Funny how Daylesford were crying poor one minute then out come the 4 sets of new jumpers, new training jumpers, offering big money to anyone that would listen and even talking about building new clubrooms. Sebas might as well join the CHFL as well. That league will end up with about 20 teams before long.Vineyard said:

Bacchus Marsh wont be leaving the Ballarat league.
We are doing well off the field and next year we are in the position to spend money on players. (We have too!!)
We have been trying to build a team with local players and there are some good young players but we need to recruit some good outsiders around the mid twenty mark with a few years experience.
Not sure who we are after but recruiting has already started from what I have heard today.

There are a few very young players that have shown promise throughout the year.
Tyson Shea - 18 year old mid fielder has been doing a mans job and a very good one at that. Will be a gun player in 2 years time. (could still play under 18's)
Mitch Wilson - Quick skillful HFF. Only 18 aswell or maybe 17 and will be a very good player in a couple of years. (could still play under 18's)
Rowe - Great young ruckmen that played Jets last year has been good in patches. Only 18 or 19 years old.
Older players-
Brett Connors - Has been very good in patches. Smart footballer and breaks tackles really well.
Aussie hasn't had the best of years but is still an awesome player but has now done his knee so he is gone for 12 months.
Ash Whittle - Has been great in patches. Sticky hands and crunches packs well. Plays with a big heart and is not afraid of a bit of biffo.
Glad to here the Marsh are staying put Lica, should have known they would have a bit more character than Daylesford. How is Gardiner going this year and could the club have done anything more to try and hang onto Andy McKay?Lica said:

Speak to anyone involved in the club and they will say the club has been down before and they will get up again. I think they have been concentrating on off field stability in the passed couple of years and now they have that pretty much sorted (there are more improvments planned) then they are willing to make inroads into the playing group.
Gards is doing well. He is another one that has shown promise through the year. I was speaking to Sutha tonight and he is one player he mentioned could be a very damaging player in the couple of years with more progress in his game and with decent players around him.
I think Andy was just offered more money to go to Hepburn and really I dont blame him. If he wanted to taste a bit of success then The Marsh wasn't the place to be this year.
I saw him the other day but didn't get to speak to him to see how he is going. Hopefully we will see him back at the Marsh next year. I won't hold my breath but then again I wouldn't be surprised.
