Yeah it seems their juniors do dissappear but I'm not sure where to, guess having bigger regional centres around there like Wagga and Griffith and the money their footy clubs through around would be a good incentive for the young blokes who can get a kick to go out and have a look. Puts Hay in between a rock and a hard place though. Do they tend to by many players in or rely on local stocks? Who are some of the guns they have or had up there?

Just after a bit of info on David Thompson from Wakool. Age/Height/Weight/Position etc. Anything would be great. Cheers.

24/188cm ish/89kg ish/ We all know wakool was about attack but he was down back a bit an did a pretty good job in a poor backline. Also played on ball and on the wing
Thought that we had a chance of recruiting David to the Avoca Football club last season. Trained with us and looked a very classy footballer. The Wakool club made an offer to David to stay which blew Avoca's offer out of the water. End of story.
how many games is young fish going to play before he breaks down, and is his old man going to follow?. Good to mick and trav having a crack, would be good to see them both do well in the big league.
Young Fish will need a big pre season to be fit to go come round 1, saw him the other day and it looked like he had eaten Gary Rose.
He's carrying a little bit. It sounds like Thommo could be headed for Heathcote, does anyone know if Jason Carroll is playing for Wakool again.

Perfect replacement for a couple of imminent departures Im hearing about old mate
Righto. Swap Moula and Nuli around. I've heard a few of the boys from Geelong are back playing and are signing papers within the week. Could even have them top after reading about the signings they have for this yr. Where do they get their moula ($$$) from. Couldn't say the boys from Geelong would come all that way for nothing & a player coach wouldn't be playing for nothing.

lets just hope they don't go down the same path as two other clubs in the region that spent too much.
I'd say we will have to wait and see if any of Moula's recruits from Balranald get cleared. Apparently due to Balranalds situation it is going to be extremely hard to get any clearances out of there

Was the same with Lalbert last year though, but you and others got cleared with out too many dramas.
That is a good point, but Lalbert was a slightly different situation. Lalbert didn't really try to hold any of us back. I am sure if they wanted to they could have made it very tough for a few of us, especially those going to clubs in the CMFL or leagues in the area.
If Balranald match Moula's $$$ then it could be hard getting clearances approved, but it Moula offer these guys more than they get offered at the Roos they can't be refused. It would be a restriction of trade to with hold there clearance.
What I can see it doing is pushing the prices of these guys up which could put a bigger than expected strain on Moula's finances. Would be good to see Moula up near the pointy end this year.
I don't think this will apply. I have heard that the VCFL may be getting involved which will mean that special conditions may apply so that Balranald can hang on to players so that they do not have to go into recess for the season
Going into recess, it is getting serious up there. That must be the worst run footy club in the country, to go from grand finalists to the brink of going under in less than 6 months is just appauling. I guess they didn't put anything away for a rainy day.

hahaha, what a classic Messenger! Absolute gold! What is Garry Rose doing these days! Still spewing on pubs floors and talking absolute rubbish! He should have a crack at a pre-season, although i don't know whether many clubs have a life insurance policy to cover what would likely to be his demise. Wasted talent that boy!Young Fish will need a big pre season to be fit to go come round 1, saw him the other day and it looked like he had eaten Gary Rose.
there is not much talk about the tigers at the monent, are picking up spaulding from cohuna, metro and a couple others along the way, also have got some classy youngster in the mix, have always been light on for hight and seem to have picked up some this year. maybe they could sneek under the radar of some clubs.
Not much talk on pick ups for murrabit, all other sides seem to be gaining players and there are not many names for the blues at the moment. some info would be good.
