Can anyone tell me if a young fella by the name Callan Litchfield got a kick on the weekend? Someone told me he went to Osbourne??? Can this be confirmed?
yeah i got 1 the tigers struggled big time against the coly all credit to coly but the tigers were sadly undermanned and underdone watching from outside they have a lot to work to do and not sure if the whole group is commited to the cause, gilso and rat are working there arses off to get a competitve side on the park and need plenty of support from some of the locals who havnt bothered to front yet there is a long road ahead for the tigers and i think gilly is the man for the job dont rite them off just yet. also heard jason wild is very close with one of the players out there and is a chance to line up this year any other fellas ?

Why would the players be committed to play under Rat, when Gilson has already been appointed coach for 08 & 10. Bizarre.

Culcairn by 15 goals, they're looking formidable, Robertson looks at home down forward and young Clint Brown's looking deadly off half back, incredibly well drilled all over the paddock, Cul by 15 goals.

Saw him play against the Brookers on the weekend, great player obviously but isn't looking as good as the reputation suggests.. Bearing in mind we're only two rounds in, class player and when he finds his feet in the new club will be a huge advantage for the dogs..

Gees... When did you previously see him.
I'm mates with him and he def hasn't been on the slim fast. In saying has been great at sport all his life and never been the fittest.
Predictions this week:
Cul (home ground main advantage for this cracker game)
Coly
Holbrook
CDHBU
Magpies... Just
How would he compare to Myles??

I think it would be hard to compare Hilton to Myles. Myles was a true full forward capable of kicking 100 goals a season. Hilton is a true Centre Half Back 'trying' to play full forward. He will still kick a few goals as he is quality and a strong player but he will only kick goals because of his general ability rather than his forward line ability.
Just because you are a great CHB in the O and M it doesn't mean you can just be a great Full Forward in the Hume League. Any thoughts?
Fair call that.. And if he is as good CHB as you say why are jindera playing up forward

I am not too sure if this is right but i have heard it was a part of him signing on at Jindera - he wanted to play forward and coach was happy to play him there. I suppose you'd say anything to sign a good player but so far the coach sounds like he is living up to his word!! I can assure you he is a great centre half back....he may make a great forward in the future??? I suppose he was sick of a chasing blokes around.
Well fair enough.. thanks

Few big question marks over Murray as a coach very early.From all reports did little homework on Holbrook on weekend and showed no respect.Only knew the usual suspects-not the depth that got the Brookers over the line.With the set up of the finals structure wise-that loss may come back and bite them big time.

He doesn't do it on his pat though does he? Who are his bench?

I would think that the homework is done during the week - bench is run game day under general instructions from coach??
Looks like Hume league has become the AFL and the buck stops with the coach!!! Lets not get ahead of ourselves, good coaching helps but players play and kick goals not coaches.....actually unless your a playing coach???
Interesting question, what are the playing coaches to non-playing coaches and thoughts on each in the league?
Without knowing it seems playing coaches are popular but do they work? Boyle (non-playing) V Murray (playing) - I know it's too early to answer that specific question but it's an interesting topic???
Lockhart has both with Mick Glanville(non playing) and poke mcpherson(playing).. any thoughts on this idea??

Best of both worlds I suppose. Question is can the playing coach play?? And can the non-playing coach coach?? If they can both do what they are supposed to go, for it I suppose.
Who takes training? Playing coach wouldn't be too happy if he got flogged on the track whilst non-playing blew a whistle!!
To be honest I am a bit old school and there should be a coach, an AC and maybe 1 or 2 on the bench. Agian interesting question considering clubs seem to like playing coaches - is it a value for money thing?

When a great player leaves your club to be a playing coach elsewhere he usually takes players with him. So the idea is to give your best player an assistant coaching role and he might not go to another club to coach.
Example Premiership player Linc Wellington left Tatura to go to Numurkah as a playing coach.
The current board at Tatura doesn't seem to like the idea of playing senior coaches but for Reserves it is ok. I think each club has to work out what is the best method to get the most out of their players. A strong team with alot of great onfield players like Seymour has enough leaders on the park so doesn't need a playing coach. They only need a whiteboard or clip board holder to do rotations off the bench.

Jindera arent the be-all and end-all, granted the brookers are lookin to be very competitive outfit but lets wait and see how they fair against the cul's, osbornes and lockarts before we starting using the P word and Holbrook in the same sentence.

Well the non playing coach is back after he coached lockhart to a premiership in 2003 and the other is a good player who will play in the centre every week.

Robertson's got to be nearly 40 years old. Takes a great mark,but his kicking let's him down terribly. Hate to be relying on him to kick a goal after the siren to win the GF
