tell me about newman

Newman played a year at Red Cliffs years ago. Was very over rated. Didn't like the hard stuff and did nothing but wreck the club along with the other two blokes he went there with.

Newman is a great player. I don't know where you have got your information from ibis100 but I know that he is far from soft. You can't be soft and kick 10 or 11 in a game.

Sorry Mr roo, dont even know this newman fella but must disagree, you can definately be soft and kick 10 or 11. It all depends on the opposition, the delivery, many factors.

No matter what the delivery is like you still have to get it. And as buddha said he was playing against Yarrawonga. They are no slouches. There is no hiding playing full forward mate. I know there are plenty of blokes on this site that can back me up on this.

I agree that there are def a lot of o and m players who should be on the list ahead of many other players previously mentioned by others in the lesser league. I believe that players from leagues in division one VCFL champs should be given greater consideration just because they have to be more dominant against greater opposition. 2-3 years ago Jason Wild was by far the best player in the VCFL. His all round hardness, endurance and skill ranked him among the top country players in the state. Tim Hargraves and Craig Ednie certainly must be up there just below wild.

What about that young bloke Tyler Bonnet? I heard he is a gun. Is he still at Yarrawonga or has he been drafted?

The job at full forward can be made much easier by the on ballers mate, almost so easy that it is impossible for the backmen to do anything. I never said you could hide at full forward, but with good delivery you cant say its the toughest position to play. Try backing into packs contest after contest at CHF/CHB.

Ok roo i'll back u up there is definately no hiding at ff especially if u start kicking a few as they will put a loose player back and also a ruckmen in the hole but u can still get a soft goal along the way and we ff's absolutely love them.
As for me my onballers cant hit their targets so i just get the ball myself and do what comes natural a bit like PETER DAICOS in his hey day,kicking them from everywhere.......HA HA HA

Pretty big call at this time of his carreer...Daniel Needs...St Arnaud....6 club B/F's straight, was in club team of the (half) century at age 19 can play anywhere up the guts, Ruck, Ruck Rover, wing......

6 straight? John Grigg won it in about 02 so i dont think its straight mate. He also tied with Drum in about 04. But your right he is silky, kicks 5 on an average day and generally drinks a skin full of ******** the night before he trots out anyways!
 
Well certainly cant agree about the comment about Newman - he is a good player but certainly not great. Has some ability but doesnt produce the goods consistently.

As for some of the best players in Country football here is my opinion.

Andy Goodwin (Wandin FC in the YVMDFL). See my comment in toughest players thread. The best player I have seen in country/ local football.

John Brunner (many clubs). A player who achieved everyhting in country football, if only he was a bit bigger and he probably would have been a regular at AFL level.

Tim Hargraves (Yarrawonga FC in O&M and East Ringwood in the EFL). One of the hardest workers as a player on field. Great disposal and terrific skills and a good guy as well. Lets hope that Yarrawonga have a great year in 2006 to repay his return to the Pidgeons.

I get my information from me. i played on him and he is all talk. Front up to him and all he wants to do is hit behind the play but when someone hits him back he disappears. Sonny Lindsay and Tasyin were the other two. The three stooges
 
I've moved around a lot in the last 20 years but always in the country. I haven't seen anyone better then John Brunner. The man is a legend and is still playing at 45.

I also find it strange that more players haven't been named from the Ovens and Murray. That league has been the benchmark for years. I could name many players from lower leagues but that would be ludicrous.

That's alright mate, everyones entitled to an opinion.

You probably don't like him because he sat on your head 3 or 4 times in a game. :)

Dream on gotheroos. he came here with big wraps but did nothing. All three of em stuffed the club. He was the best of the three when he wanted to play even though Sonny had the most ability. he obviously hass played some good footy in other leagues but in Sunraysia he had an ordinary year. (As most players do now and again)

That's a fair point. :thumbsu:
I know when he came back down here he played for Port Melbourne VFL in the 2's and won the leading goal kicking and he was very fit.
He was playing up at Corowa last year, and from all reports he had a good year.

he has matured alot since then and i thing it may have been good for him to get away from the other 2.he has played in a few flags since then and was in the o&m team of the year last year so he cant be to bad.i read on another thread that sonny kicked 130+ goals last year so he must be able to play as well.
 
Over a long period of time Steven Oliver from Castlemaine in the Bendigo FL has been the best footballer that I have seen. An absolute freak who could have done anything down in Melbourne. David Parkin says that he is the biggest regret of his coaching career - that he couldnt convince him to come and play at Carlton.
