As much as O'Toole's cousin and mates are out at Corio and no doubt he loves the place, I would think the other guys he's made a pact with would want to play for more than just friendship alone. No doubt individually they could ask for and get some decent money. It may be crap but I was told that it would cost as a package about 70k for all of his group.

Bury is a MtGambier boy. Wouldn't think after 1 season with O'Toole he'd be that tight with him??

It's not so much O'Toole, it's Stewert he is close with/wants to play with.

The Tommy Tigers will be back in '08!!

ok u have wallace but doesnt he just add to a ageing list already hopefully some of the u/18s can stand up.

That would be hard as they struggled to field an u/18 side this year. wallace will need to bring a few to match the likes of werribee centrals recruits

Might be being a little harsh legs. As a coach his experience will be important but agree that he does need an even list with some good juniors coming through to pass on his knowledge to.

rumour has it Cage is off to St Mary's in GFL

 

[badman]

by the sounds of it he needs 2 recuit well no reid worland hardingham kitchen kelly kunigiskis macca harvey callow day both mclures dont think he will b able to replace them with cdfl players

Romour has it not all these players are leaving from Winch
Hardingham and Kitchen are off to Werribee
Macca won't play at winch
Harvey is going to North shore or Corio

Winch might be looking alright. They're close to signing a ruckmen from Warnambool. Chasing the leading goal kicker from the CDFL and a few others from the CDFL. Not to mention they have there eyes on some very handy GFL two's players. Scotty Mills is a good mate of mine and I'm sure he has the right attitude and a new coaching style to take Winch to the finals next year.

 

[badman]

Rumour also has it that Bannock might be signing a few blokes from Melbourne.
A few from Donvale Football club in the Eastern District Football league.
One from spotswood football club. A rover and a former player of Bannock and St Mary's.
All are said to be quality senior players.

How hold would these two guys be?

Im not too sure but i'm guessing late 20's early 30's. Why's that?

Do you mean gage from thomson?? if so he is no chance of playing at st. marys.

I have also heard that rumour.. I think they are just chasing him. I gather your talking about Cage from Thompson?

All those four players definately wont be at winch next year.
Kelly is going overseas for that start of the season and i'm pretty sure Worland will be playing for Finley next year. What the rest of the other players do will depend on how Winch recruit.
I think anyone who goes out to Winch will have a very tough job on their hands. They have no unders coming up. They struggle for a two's side every year.
The only way Winch will make finals is if they can recruit 5 QUALITY players, pick up at least another 5 average players to add some depth and then they can't afford to lose Reid, Kelly, McClures, Day, Callow and Co.

Another poster remarked that he saw Hardingham recently and looked like the side of a truck. If he is in his early thirties then it makes it difficult to shed that weight.

Looks like 2008 could be an extremely very long year for Winch.

 

[SWANNEES]

How hold would these two guys be?

hardy 31 kitch 28 ex hoppers players

 

[thommy08]

Juniors looking OK. B my mail is pride will bring ém back.Fair enough list maybe ageing

 

[thommy08]

Yes Jetski...Think it will be very tight next year...Clubs all round need to get stronger and not be content (eg. Thomson not happy with 5th last year)....A few recruits will help but pre-season can't come quickly enough for the blokes - young and old.

 

[bigwillow]

thompsons ruckman, whats his name??

because he will be a drysdale in 08 i believe

sounds like ur mail could b wrong

The only problem with becoming stronger, means that spending has to be increased to continually raise the bar. (East and Belmont are examples)
Looking at this years U18 comp, there doesn't seem to be too many clubs who have good juniors coming through. This is the only way to offset cost, yet it may not lead to success.

[legs]

[legs]
