Ballarat Football League

[Kings Army]

King hit! well if that was the case how did he get off its not like he has a good record.

Is it true Sunbury are having players like Griffin lobbs houls serge Clarke Henry leaving. Along with clubs chaseing the likes of Carris Mcabe Brown, Sunbury coach is going to have a tough job recruiting especially when they are leaving it so late to appoint a new one or have they got there man and are just keeping it quiet.

Because Griffo does not dog any one when it comes to the tribual.

Griffo, Lobb, Hose, Serge and A-Train will not be there next year. Carriss is also very unlikely. Not sure of McCabe and Brown. But Sunbury's pockets are very deep and you are talking about some of the highest paid players at Sunbury leaving. Early to say it will be a lean year.

Don't worry about Melton - they lay low for a couple of years and then load up and when they do they usually win it. With Sunbury and Redan likely to drop off a little it will be a huge opportunity for the Meltons, Melton South, Ballarat to make a run at it next year. Who knows maybe even Darley!!

[FootyFat]

Maryborough Football Club in the Bendigo Football League has secured the services of Shane Fisher. We're confident he will bring much needed sucess to the club as he has done at East Point and Lexton. We are pleased to have him on board and are looking forward to a prosporous 2008.

Ha Ha Ha you fools the only thing he will bring to a club is a couple of shit tats

Carriss to QLD with his good mate Lobb. McCabe to Melton South and not sure about Brown.

 

[Blue Ball Fever]

Carriss to QLD with his good mate Lobb. McCabe to Melton South and not sure about Brown.

3 different clubs in the BFL in 3 years. By the time he is 30 he might play for all 10.

Fisher to coach Maryborough

EX-EAST Point coach Shane Fisher will coach Maryborough in the Bendigo Football League next year.

The 28-year old, who left the Red Lion Kangaroos after he was asked to re-apply for his job at the end of the season, yesterday confirmed he has been appointed senior coach of the Magpies for the next two seasons. East Point plans to announce its senior coach today.

Fisher, who had considered moving interstate to continue his football coaching career, said the Maryborough job had plenty of positives, including the opportunity to stay in the Ballarat area.

He will take on the position as a playing coach, despite being unable to play more than a couple of games with East Point due to injury. "I wasn't going to coach for the sake of coaching and Maryborough appealed the most," he said yesterday.

"Club-wise the facilities are second to none. They have a gym at their ground and there is a hell of a lot more you can do training when you have good lights. And being in a major league appeals a lot too.

"But this is not going to be about Shane Fisher, it's going to be about the Maryborough Football Club. This is a team with a lot of young players and, while it can be good to walk straight into a club that's had a lot of success, it's maybe better to play a part in building a team that is heading on the way up.

"There's no hiding I've had some hamstring problems this year, but I've been getting treated for that in Melbourne and I'm still getting some work done on that in Ballarat as well. I don't know if I'll be an 18-round player but if I play 12 or more games that would be good."

Maryborough finished the 2007 Bendigo Football League season in seventh place with five wins.

Fisher described the Magpies' position as not dissimilar to East Point when he took over the coaching role in 2005. But the former North Ballarat Roosters player said he was a vastly more experienced coach than when he joined the Kangaroos. "When you're coaching you're learning something new every week," he said. "I think I've developed a lot more as a coach since I started at East Point. I think the whole package, from training and management to match day, has improved."

Fisher left the North Ballarat Roosters after three seasons and 55 games to coach Lexton in the Lexton Plains Football League in 2002. He took over the top job at East Point in 2005, coaching the Kangaroos to three successive finals campaigns.


WTF are Maryborough doing appointing a muppet like fisher, like his quote is a perfect example "But this is not going to be about Shane Fisher, it's going to be about the Maryborough Football Club" his total career has only ever been about Fisher and Maryborough will find this out very soon in his appointment.

As far as a playing coach he will be lucky to play 2 games as he is no good, whatever treatment he has been getting its actually been on his tatoos, he is getting them removed, or in his case colored in.

hahahahahah the joke is now in charge of maryborough.

Darley to Sunbury because of Matt and Mark Power. Now that they are both gone South because of Scoble. Now run along check with Scoble and try to get on the same page. Once you speak with him come back on and tell me again I am making things up.

But did he deny Kega is top of his wish list? And does he need to discuss with you or can he make his own call? Looks like only one half of the coaching team is actually trying to make South press forward.

The line above about Mary being very similar to East when he 1st took over - unless he can get the Jordan boys across to Mary - 5 wins will be your best result.

K/A i agree with you totally that Fisher cannot play at this level, His hammy is an excuse to use when the going gets tough and is an easy way out for him.

K/A whilst on the subject of the Jordans is it true that Ben was offered the job but now Johnson is available and unless he gets picked up by anothe AFL club he will be back as senior coach on $50k and working part time at the sports club.

 

[The Beaks Gossip 07]

has anybody got any idea who will be coaching east point?​

they have plenty of ex-afl players around the club who would be capable of fulfilling the role​

see in todays courier that east point would be announcing their coach maybe later today, also see Sebas are now after a new coach as well, sunbury chasing Ben Jordan hard i heard and that the Lakers Job was still vacant, Redan have filled theirs.

will be very interesting to see who coaches the 4 sides and its a real guessing game, can anyone shed some light on what they have heard, have tried to find out but clubs are playing cards close to their chests and keeping "mum" about appointments.

Has their ever been so many changes in coaches in the BFL like this year, 5 new coaches in season 2008.

without fisher and power who can we hang it on now, maybe the veteran coach in swooper northey might be the Big Footy bunny.

Watch this space as i put the heat on the clubs and spy and see if i can get the inside word on what is taking place at club level.

my word is that Tony Liberatore has already been appointed at Sunbury on some very good dollars.

My mail suggests that Darley, also have had a crack, but only as a playing assistant coach. Apparently he is not all that keen to coach outright just yet!

you have stated what everyone in the ballarat area is thinking. wake up to yourself shane as there is no I in team. you would think by now you would have woken up to yourself, but you must be like the stars on your arms and be in dream land.

 

[youhatehim]

Apparently Gordon Footy Club seem to be chasing around 10 or so of the younger Darley players that have being fringe players for a few years and throwing some cash there way to get em up the highway. Footy Fat you seem to no a lot is there much chance of any of the boys leaving. If they didn't get a game this year in the 1s surely its time to move on

I thought you guys might appreciate this moving piece from yesterday's Maryborough Advertiser...

In a statement to the club, Fisher said "I passionately believe the role of today's coach is more than just teaching skills of the game. In football at any level, we play a significant role in the general development of people, and in particular, our youth," he said.

Anyway good luck to Fisher and all the best to Maryborough in 2008.

Creeker35 i back you up on that statement and refer people to check their facts, east point actually made the finals the year before fisher took over as coach and in his first year there they just missed out by 4.29% and finished seventh with 10 wins and were very competative, in the interview he said that that he sees comparisons between the two clubs, east point were finalists and maryborough won 5 games. Fairly different i see.

This is exactly what i'm talking about the facts and the facts are that after 3 years at east point they have seen the light and got rid of him as he has many flaws in his coaching abilities.

Coaching updates ? I have not yet found out any more on whos coaching who but a little birdie told me that Lakers had Adrian Cox all but signed and sealed then got cold feet and has now ended up back at Sale, okay a little birdie did not tell me this it was that specimen of a man they call Gareth Hall on Win TV last night.

He also reported that Ben Jordan was as good as gone and that Shane Hutchinson was a firm favorite at East Point, any word on that announcement, i thought someone would have said something by now.

 

[Leather Magnet]

Hey Chawk, where to and/or why has Matt Walder gone?

 

[chewydog]

Hey Chawk, where to and/or why has Matt Walder gone?

I can answer that one for you magnet... I had two years under matt walder at tigerland and he was a top coach, well respected and great leader on and off the field... Fittest 36 year old I have ever seen!!!! won pretty much all time trials and runs pre-season and was best on in our GF win this year... Maybe fish could have a yarn to matty about how to coach by the sounds??? Unfortunately due to work options being better back home he's had to move back mildura way I think... He did say if it was purely a footy decision he would of stayed on.... He's left pretty big shoes to fill as far as we're concerned Anyone keen on coming up here to wagga town and have a crack at coaching the mighty tiggers ?... I myself moved up to wagga from the rat 7 years back and it's a great town with good footy....
