Just a copy cat scenario I believe- Opposition Clubs are doing it so we better too. I believe in the value of Pre Season but a couple of runs Pre Xmas runs to meet New recruits get yourself moving again then put your head down in January is plenty of time.

I always find it baffling that people get fit for pre season - that’s what pre season is for! You don’t do a pre season for pre season

Echuca Won 97 so it might have been that year.
You always get guys who are keener impressing in the pre season then actually playing. Come March, they've already Burnt out from footy, although I would recommend starting pre season before March like I used to do, where fly found me in front of the hot dog van one session
Big Leo tenace would have been slotting through goals at United, with a young Peter bird playing brilliant footy as a midfielder at 15, one of the best debut senior seasons you'd see, where he mixed it physically with men.
Yep and add in that Locky under O'Neill also played off in the gf against moama, reckon Echuca would have been under eishold and been right up there.
Jamie Macri was also kicking big bags that year at kerang

Tend to agree with others on here that November is a good time to have a run and a kick. Meet the recruits and potentially have a camp. A night on the river or something revisiting basic team expectations and future planning, followed by a few beers and a BBQ or pig on a spit.
November should be about bonding. Get fit in the New Year!
Top few recruits of 2021 so far? Something like this or have I missed ?
1. Michael Hartley (Sey)
2. Will Hayes (Eur)
3. Sam Reid (Ech)
4. Tom Downie (Ben)
5. Jack Hutchins (Mans)
Not sure if Hayes has signed yet but form what was said on here it's pretty much a lock.

Yep Birdy was a “certainly “ to get drafted in many of our eyes…. But it ended up being Micky Braun .
I run into the big Goober occasionally. Been coaching Echuca juniors I think. Great fella with the stickiest grab in the business!

Those regional areas also continually provide Echuca / Moama clubs with players despite those clubs having multiple junior sides .
Two Willoughby boys at Echuca a classic example, all junior footy prior to final year of thirds played elsewhere .
Get the connection with a collaborative approach between clubs and leagues right and footy will thrive.
Situation in and around Shepp IMO is a direct result of poor collaboration .

Echuca have a habit of producing Morrison medalists I reckon Sam Reid will be added to that list

Pretty sure Hutchins, Reid & Hayes will be full time. Hartley and Downie both VFL but Hartley from reports to play a fair few games. I don't see Downie playing many GV games at all if any. So we could probably take him off the list.....

Colin Durie. Guy Campbell at Rochy.
I'm looking forward too seeing how Sam Reid goes in the GV next year IMO he was a modest role player in the AFL. Does stepping down in standard make him a match winner? I'm not sure. Great get for Echuca to have him there and amongst their young players but Morrison Medalist? Or a star of the Comp? It will be a point of interest.

Sorry.
I got confused with Producing and Recruiting
Apologies

Similar thoughts myself Fly. Not sure his a lock to be a bonafide star of the comp. Yes has the potential but time will tell.
