The Talking Goat
Team Captain
gallanat effort by the dragons, but as you say, bitterly disappointing not to get the points from the position they were in during the second quarter when four goals up.Bitterly, bitterly disappointed we did not win, had their measure for 3 and half qtrs (as I predicted). But the lack of height down back / polish up forward meant they ran over the top of us (as I predicted). Haven't got any other tips correct however
Final Margin - 5 goals Goat - and they all came in the last 10 min. I saw you at the Hurst huddle, so no need to tell you how good the Dragons will be this year with a full list on the park. Fitzgerald, Borchard, Weekley, Walsh, Wilkinson to come in.... Meade, R Thornton, Reudin, Dickins, C Prest in the Reserves.
It was a great game. Our poor kicking at goal (5 O.O.B. and 4 not making the distance) cost us. Rosa and Bell to come in for Square, C Carter out - their depth is amazing
weeksy was the difference, simple as that - 9.1

The only pus that is about astroboy, is the stuff that is oozing out of your stump.
Hardly a conclusive result there.
At the graveyard and no king of Kyneton, Jimmy Codos, who I might add is averaging over 8 goals a match, and the best Gissy can do is 29 points ???
The way I see it, if Jimmy had played, he kicks a lazy 8 and we win by 19 points….At the graveyard ! But anyway we will see how your frontrunners will go in ten or so weeks time, in round 13 at the slaughteryard. Yes round thirteen, at the slaughteryard. That may just turn out to be a very unlucky 13 for your dogs that weekend. Hope your not in Thailand again that week and can actually come and support your team and face the music. A few of the locals up here would just love to catch up with you. What do they say ? Every dog has their day !
If you are not interested in the Dragons don't read any further.
I know it is easy to be an armchair critic but I would just like to add my own comments as a long time Sandhurst supporter.
Watching this game I thought there is some real talent in the Sandhurst line up this year and if they make the finals (which they should) they could cause some real mischief. At one stage in the second quarter they almost broke the game open from Square. Where they were exposed was Tom Hartney playing centre half back and Jack Kennedy at full back. Now I am not knocking these players as both are fantastic clubmen and give body and soul for the dragons - but Bristow and Weeks were just too tall/strong for them which resulted in some easy goals for Square taking all the wind out of the dragon sails.
Tom Hartney should be on a half back flank where he plays his best football and Jack Kennedy in the back pocket which also suits him. Pending the return of Borchard it is worth giving Jake Wilkinson a go at full back and Sam McGee centre half back (or visa versa) so there is a bit of height in the backline - otherwise teams like South will also exploit a short defence on the QEO.
With Duscher at centre half forward and Matt Thorton at full forward Sandhurst is OK down the spine and will improve further when the likes of Borchard, Weekley & Fitzpatrick return. I would personally like to see James Cozens rest in the forward pocket when he comes out of the ruck as he can take a good mark in front of goals.
All in all the signs are really good - but let us get some height in the backline.
Agree, I think if Bateson loops that goal to Barnard st end the game was about gone for Square, they are not far away the dragons....
Flat gone, but love to see South play that brand of footy v E/hawk or Square, Stroobants excellent.
And a big
to BO for calling Ben Duescher as the wrong name all night, lucky he only racked up around 40 touches.....bloodhound!

THought I might come out of BF retirement to tell you how much of an absolute tosser you are hoops. 3BO were given a team sheet that had #32 as Jake Wilkinson so thats how they called it when the bloke wearing #32 gathered one of his 40 touches, Duescher wasn't even on the team sheet 3BO were given. But 3BO were still good enough to give Duescher the $50 Shamrock voucher
Now hoops you seem to be a very bitter man towards 3BO and your continual attacks are very, very petty, so here is a story that might help you ......I once went for a job as the CEO of BHP Billiton I obviously didn't get that job because i was just not good enough and no where near qualified..... I have since moved on and only bag out BHP when fuel prices go up..........actually that never happened .....sorry hoops I lied .....but I hope you can still take something out of the story and stop carrying on like a pathetic child..
All the best their sport.......oh yeah i noticed that the fresh had a boundary rider this week....hmmmm where did you get that idea, didn't see one at any of the earlier games you broadcast this year!!
Doona2
Cancelled
Phew!!! Thought I was the only one who has been reading along and thinking this
Do 3BO callers have to be given a team sheet to know who Sandhurst's best player is?
I don't think the late Dick Turner ever had that problem.
Why do you bag BHP for fuel prices? Do you mean BP? Or do you mean when Iron Ore prices go up?????
bloodhound!

Haha! thats probably why I didn't get the job!!
hehe, I am not attacking BO bloodhound, I actually listened to their coverage on Saturday and it was pretty good. I am just having a crack at them, well, because I can and people keep coming in. Fresh always have a boundry rider and they use him. Unlike the poor chap waving his arms for no result.....Ive certainly never aplied for a job at BO, (or Fresh for that matter) but I like to stick up for the little guy when its clear who dictates to who ij this town, eh bloodhound!!!
Now, to patch it up ala Brentmeister by finishing with a footy topic...
Top 5 in order will be
Golden Square
Eaglehawk
South Bendigo
Sandhurst
Maryborough.....
oh yeah and Goat, well done on your footy focus article, credit where its due, enjoyed it

will jimmy condos play for us this week v s/hurst, ilc and davis or is he having time off for the honymoon this sat ??
The following is out of a artical in todays Albury-Wodonga Border mail concering problems with the O&M reserves competition. Note the statements by the President of the Wodonga Football Club (Collins):
............................................................................................
Collins went a step further by saying Wodonga was presently investigating all its options and believed dumping the reserves competition from the Ovens and Murray league could be a solution if an AFL-VFL type affiliation could be arranged with a district league club.
Wodonga Saints would be the most likely marriage with the Bulldogs as they share the John Flower Oval.
“It’s only a personal view, but we can’t match the money district clubs are offering our reserve grade players so it makes sense to work together,” Collins said.
...............................................................................
I found this interesting as I remember ealier discussions in this thread regarding Castlemaine and Maryboroughs relationships with their district clubs. I think the claim was made that district clubs offered money to Castlemaine's reserve players which (like Wodonga) the club could not match.
I am personally reserved about this 'affiliation' idea but in view of the problems the country clubs in the BFNL have in fielding competitive teams in all grades (ie Maryborough thirds), I have put this on the Bendigo FL Thread for the interest/comments of others.
Maineman what do you think?

So the idea is that Castlemaine would form the Senior team and the Senior team of a MCDFL club would be the 'Seconds?'
I can see merit in the idea but I think it would be difficult to implement as it would mean splitting training bases, home games etc....
I also would be amazed if any MCDFL clubs supported it.
One thing is for sure though something is going to have to happen and fast if Castlemaine is to survive as a BFL club.
Haven't won a game at any level for two weeks now and not looking like winning too many more for the rest of the year.

think its not a bad way in theory! but your problem will be the allignments. when they play at what grounds?
take Castlemaine and MB as an Example Will there be an uproar about who is alligned with these to teams? or will it simply be a draft ??
your other problem is there is south, sandhurst, strath, flat square all from bendigo but where will the other teams come from,
what if a few teams can't get allignments ? do they just miss out ?
think there would need to much more thought a draft or points system would have to work.
great concept just don't think it could work.
take an example YCW are in GS so GS should go with them and flat are close to them. GS would have 50-60 players YCS lets say 50 PLayers.
100players for 3 teams, and max 65 so 35 players miss out?? is the solving the problem? say it was with flat as well and extra 30 players agn.
i just can;t see it working but if someone can ??
there would have to rules marquee players ruling nominated players who wont go back etc
what does everyone else think?
your other problem is 2's player playing in the ones at district how would u get payed, esp when it comes for the bendigo team to say right your in the ones but u only get $50 instead of $250

I would think that no MCDFL club would entertain this idea. Having watched Castlemaine a couple of times this year there seems to be a lack of committment from players across the board and it would appear that their policy of throwing money at players to keep them there and get them to come back has backfired with alot of their highly paid players looking disinterested. Castlemaines problems still go back to not trying to build a club and always looking for new recruits instead of looking after what they have. They have had good kids come through over the past few years who dont want to remain as they dont feel they get a go. They would be better off getting beaten and playing local juniors to give them exposure. In a side note i wouldnt think that too many Castlemaine Seconds from the past few years would command any money to go elsewhere.

I am not sure where a lot of that comes from to be honest. I wouldn't have thought committment had been an issue in the seniors and I can't think of anyone disinterested.
I'm not sure where the 'throwing money' comes from either as I think you will find Castlemaine pays much less money than most clubs.
They also have been playing plenty of local juniors in the firsts and seconds this year.
I'd love to hear you elaborate on these issues and perhaps explain the basis for your opinions?
On another note all the talk at training tonight was about how filthy the club is on the BFL tribunal after losing McMurtrie for a week over nothing and now Christmas getting 4 weeks for an offence he was only yellow carded for and should have been thrown out anyway.
With the Storm boys coming off their best ever win as a team, and the 'Flat looking to rebound (pardon the pun)from last Sunday's big defeat, this Sunday's match against Strath and Kangaroo Flat is set to be one of the BFNL matches of the round.
Make sure you make your way out to Tannery Lane this Sunday to see whether the Storm machine can continue its winning form.

What all country clubs need to remember like the BFL Board the Tribunal members all reside in Bendigo.
Two years ago when the Board appointed a Manager that did not reside in Bendigo we thought that things would change, however he now follows the Board wishes that the country clubs are only there to make up the numbers.

I was 20m away and he was grabbed from behind and pulled backwards and as he went back his leg came up and hit a guy. Contact wasn't even hard.
Not sure how you can be responsible when someone causes you to fall and make contact when you are not in control of your movements.
Anyone who knows Daniel Christmas will tell you he isn't the sort of person that would kick someone.
