I would not think so. Why would you travel up to Gordon 2 nights a week in the cold and shit conditions for a couple of $ and then go and play on a Saturday in a shit competition. Yeah they have got there 3 strong teams that still would not make our top 6, and then it falls to shit. Our top 4 2s sides this year would beat most sides up there. Daylsford left the BFL because it could not compete and now they are the powerhouse of the comp. Gordon won 1 game for the year so im sure it would be a thrilling experience, But thats just my oppinion. Maybe money will talk as it did last year with Cox and the likes leaving the devils to go play shit footy .Loyalty in football has all but gone money talks and bullshit walks.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

my word is that Tony Liberatore has already been appointed at Sunbury on some very good dollars.
He will coach Sunbury next year if he fails in his attempt to get an AFL assistance role.
if libba is going 2b coach,will u keep ur job on the sidelines or will there be a total clean out?
libba gets sunbury , hutchie to coach east , ben jordan must be on the move to melton , all the better for the young bloods
Michael Hynes will be the new coach of East/Point..Coached Waubra formely and has been coaching in the Wimmera of late.

if thats the case, and Libba gets a AFL gig as late as say December / January, then who does Sunbury have to replace him with ? who else was in the mix ??
Here's some info,for a start his name is Michael Hynes and don't be surprised if Brad Maxwell goe's with him he seems to be the only one that can keep maxi interested. Mick likes to do things his own way doesn't mind steping on a few toes. Will upset any sooks they have but maybe thats what they need to rid themselves of!

Hynsey is definitely a choice out of the box, bit like knights at essendon, he has been around footy a long time, must admit came as a surprise to many around town however like OS said, he will do things his way. Interesting that the committee obviously thought they needed someone outside the existing group, thought there may have been some other good candidates.

My mate writes a bit of poetry lads, emailed me this one last week, what do you think
A Date with Destiny
Not as easy as you might imagine, not as clears as you may see
For written down for who knows eyes, is another piece of me
But I suppose the way it goes, it’s a test I choose to face
And poets prays for days like this, these are the times we chase
I’m a cat’s man you see, I’ll always be, there’s hoops around my heart
And there’s a premiership to talk about, but Mondays where I start
Charlie went home with courage, and I had my dollars on the man
And with a genius right beside him, a believer I would stand
I’d held my faith in a prelim escape, to narrow for the nerves
For the day was won by a fathers son and it’s the trust that he deserves
Of course past defeats were mentioned, as the power talked it up
Forty four years of pressure ohh I’d almost heard enough
But words would count for nothing in the middle where it mattered
History recalls they folded as record books were shattered
A nervous wait transformed itself into celebration
I’d had a beer or two, but I was filled with admiration.
Stevey Johnson claimed the norm smith, and the doubters disappeared
A larrikin ducked behind the bar, but all Australian reappeared
Scarlet simply smashed them, as he controlled it from the back
And there was champion in Chapman, as he soared above the pack.
Composure found a rising star. A captain led us well
A hairy cat finally left his mark as his gracious eyes would tell
And a dozen other heroes earned more than just my praise
My respect will last forever, my pride for endless days
We won’t forget too easily this year you made your own
There were bear hugs for mates, and the old girl on the phone
I can’t believe it either mum, but it is the way it seems
We walk in our hearts desires, we stand amidst our dreams
And I’m not too proud, I will admit, that I may have shed a tear
But I’m a sucker for a sequel; I’ll catch you guys next year.

Ben jordan must just be a money hungry pig..
Good luck to him though if he's worth it.
If a club is after a one/two year wonder then thats what they;'ll get

As someone who has seen the Ballarat FL quite a lot over the past 5 years Ben Jordan is a quality person who could command big dollars, Ben is in the latter stages of his career and if he can get some good money then i say good on him, on the other hand his brother Dan is in the prime and from what ive heard he knocked back huge offers to leave eastpoint last year $30k from Hepburn, but his mates with a lot of them and he landed in a pretty good job and he loves the place. I see him in a couple of the local watering holes and have had a few beers with him on the odd occasion and hes not going anywhere is what the word is around town.
Other news i have heard is that the Lakers are really dirty on Cox, had a job, money was ok, and at the last minute he pulled the pin. Back to Square one at lakerland....
Sebas, well thats another kettle of fish isnt it, wtf are they doing down there? they have money, facilities and should be in a much better position that they are, they cannot attract anyone to take them on, we all hear that they have approached many people but no one wants to take the job on as its a big basket case im told........Scotty left them well and truly in it didnt he!.
Well thats it for me but a little birdy told me that their will be some big news relating to Nth Ballarat VFL side in the coming days, the roosters have given the Kanagroos the flick and they are going to stand alone and are getting ready to raid Redan, East Point and Ballarat clubs to recruit guys to play in their ordinary seconds and throw a bit of coin at them to play twos footy with the promise of getting a game in the ones just so they can get numbers.

Jordan will be at Sunbury as Libba's assistant.
So is it official Libba is your new coach K.A.
I have Herd from a pretty good source that Sunbury are throwing a fortune at Libba
Is that your oppinion on what Jordan is doing next year or has he told Sunbury he will be with them

The signing will happen this week and Jordan has committed to Sunbury if Libba gets the role. Libba will be well paid but will do a role simialr to Mick McGuane and Gisborne. He will be a footy manager as well as marketing the club. It will not be a purely coaching role.
Word also is Dan Jordan will be O/S next year so the merging dogs may be on the way down. A couple of big missed opportinites for them, especailly if a couple of the players who actually liked Fischer follow him to the Bendigo League.
Watch for the 2 Melton sides to be strong next year.
Chatted to a guy last night who is looking to leave Sunbury.
Told me players had been told there wont be much left over money to pay players as most of budget is going into getting Libba!
They were warned of player paym,ent cuts across the board!!!
Will he have any players left to coach, manage or market????

Libba would have to be getting a minimum 50k, Jordan would be getting at least 15k as his assistant, this would leave what i believe to be 60k out of the slush fund from the sports club to spend on players.
Hey kings army its very interesting that jordan has committed to you guys as i heard he was going to accept the assistants job at Greenvale.

Big chance he may be shopping himself around for the best deal. Sunbury will be competitive when it comes down to the almighty dollar.
On another note chatting with Belly and his missus at the club the other day and he now wants people to call him Bunny instead of Stingray. They think this will stop the way people think of him as a bit of a hard nut and now can show his softer side. Bunny Belly does have a nice ring to it.
$50K for Libba I think you would be looking at more up around 70K I spoke to a person who played with and is very close to Libba and they said it is not far from what he was getting as an assistant at Carlton which is huge money to coach a country club.But he was still hopeful of getting an AFL assistant roll as he wants to stay in the system.
By the sounds of it Ben Jordan will be a busy man with that being now 3 clubs he has signed at Sunbury, Melton and Greenvale he would be a huge positive for any side so lets just see where his name ends up on the transfer list.

I can only think of three Bunnies "BUGS", "PETER" (Rabbit) or perhaps the most appropriate "THUMPER"

The real truth is that the Bunny reference comes from his missus and the fact that he has been performing like a Rabbit since they met. How long can he keep it "Up" without support from the "little blue pills"

The money being talked about here surely cannot be true. It shouldnt matter if you want Bomber Thompson to coach you, to pay someone upward of $50k at a country football club who isnt even going to kick a ball for you, is absolutely ridiculous, and will not guarantee success. All it really shows is more about the clubs psyche than anything else. How do you justify to your members to pay that much money when if as you say FFAT he is still keen to land an AFL assistant role, he takes off at the end of year 1 and you have just spent all that coin for nothing.
What would and should be of concern is those clubs that currently have no coach, we are about to hit November and surely players at those clubs lakers, Sebas, Sunbury must be feeling a bit ancy.

Mick Hynes to coach East Point??? You have got to be bloody joking me, obviously none of the blokes from east have watched his efforts in the WFL.
He is the most over rated coach going around! He took Minyp no where! they had a good list of kids and he did nothing with them, i played against old slow mick and all he did was bag his own team and argue with the players, soon as you see that from a coach you know you have the game won, this will make me watch east point games to laugh at how bad he is and listen to his terrible talks at the breaks! will be well worth the laugh! You are a joke Hynes. Give up coahcing and while your at it give up life! Nothing like robbing a country club like minyp of there cash and giving no results and then leaving! Gee your a top bloke! i hope you fail big time! Worst coach i have seen and even worse as a bloke! Dont bother learning the clubs song mick, cos you wont be singing it too often you *******!
