Re: Kyabram District FL

Hank is right - if Stanhope and Tonny were both on their game then Tonny would get the chocolates. The KDL tyres are being pumped up that much the tread is only wearing in the middle. Gray from Mainland has proven himself to be a very good GV player. The King and some of his mates need to realise that you only have a certain window of opportunity with your footy. A bad knee, shoulder or back injury can cut any career short. If the Mainland win again this year then do they go for three in a row etc etc.

As someone else pointed out Sidebottom bit the bullett and has aquited himself pretty well - but like Gray he was a standout player in the KDL. The transition would not be as easy for some of the other topliners.

If Finn has an injury free year with Lancaster expect him to get the League medal in 2008.

Re: Kyabram District FL

cant knock your argument about playing with your mates saint, but you cant tell me sanders, saunders, alvarez harris, grinton and james live or have ever lived any where near stanhope and play for a pie and a coke. james and grinton we all know come for a very large sum. anyway, grints is getting on, is he still going round again??

There is a fair bit of penis envy going on here at the moment. Alverez-Harris lives in town and plays cricket here. He and Saunders (plus Sanders) are mates with Marcus and were good pickups. To give you an idea of paid players - there were only five players in the club not eligible for incentives. We could not come up with enough pies for James so had to pay him money. He was on a fair bit and did his job. Sanders and Grinton were on money, but not huge amounts. Grints had history with Patto a long time ago when both were playing in Bendigo and that is how he got here. He may be getting on but he did win the B&F, which isn't a bad effort considering how good the side was. Overall our total match payments were considerably lower than most people think. We just got value for our buck (compared to Gig who spent a hell of a lot more and got nowhere).

On a seperate note, have all the Ardy computers been repossesed?

Re: Kyabram District FL

Just because you are a good KDL footy player it doesn't mean that you will step right into a GVL team. A lot of names have been thrown up on here and I generally believe that only a couple of them would be a walk up start. For instance hoota has already played GV and would be a welcome addition to any side, Dave would probably get a guernsy as he has a bit of flair and good skills and will kick goals, and i would think sanders could do it as well, your not on North Ballarat's list for no reason. The rest, Tristy, Maggot, Maso can't think of anyone else, would be a chance but they would need to further develop to the pressures of GV footy. I would like to ad that this only from a Ky and the lower GV teams perspective as to get a game with the likes of a Seymour or Swans your going to have to be an exceptional footballer.

On the debate about Stanhope V's Tonny, as hank has stated, there are to many players for the maniland to cover and i'd think it would be more than a 5 goal margain. How about you make a pracy match next year to put an end to the argument?

Re: Kyabram District FL

seeing both tonny and stanhope play this year i think stanhope would be too good. tonny relying on too few for goals and bit slower through the midfield. biggest thing would be containing james. but the practice game between tonny and rushy was no indicator of the two sides and how the leagues would match up as tonny were missing half there best 18 just about. rick sheers to tonny next year? can this be confirmed hank.

As much as it will give us an idea, a pracy match will not put an end to this arguement. Enjoy the discussion though!

I personally beleive that there is some overlap between minor and major leagues, top minor could beat maybe the bottom 3 in major league.

I don't think anyone is unaware of the harsh realities of football, it's just plain stupid to think that you'll never get an injury or be playing for ever. And people on this thread are trying to say that if someone has a go at a higher level they're expecting to get a game week in week out, which again is just ignorant. You'd have to be pretty full of yourself to think you would be a walk up start in a gv side, or even some ml sides.

In my opinion if you've played in a lower league most of your career you would go to a major league to try and fulfill your ability and try and match it against perceived better players in a higher standard of football. I'm sure people will dissagree and what not but who would leave a successful club where your mates play just for a change, you need a legitimate reason.

The Spaniard most definatly does live in the mainland, because I live in the same house as him, he is another genuine bloke that the mainland picked up that can play the game, he also plays for the love of it and not $$$. The only $$$ lubbie gets is when he get paid for sex by women in mildura.....

And this opens up another can of worms!! It has been said around town the last few years that the likes of Lanky and Stanhope would beat Ky if they played each other. I realise you said "could" but i believe there would be no chance of this happening.

Not too sure if we put the air in - we know (with the exception of Oxxy) where we sit in the grand scheme of things. I will stand corrected, but i believe Daryl was the one who brought up the Tongala v Stanhope thing by suggesting Stanhope would win 4-6 games in the MFL.

Are you saying that Stanhope were as good or better then Tongala this year?????

Old mate 61 thats more ur age aint it
Hank neva brought up bought Tonny and the Mainland, just merly stated that the Mainland could hav won 4-6 games in the MFL, nothin was mentioned bout Tonny and Stanhope goin head to head. The question was asked by Snake, and Hank just merly answered it. And it has gone on from there.

Re: Kyabram District FL

You were winning me over with your arguement of Tonny v Stanhope players Hank, until you mentioned Kyle. There's no way he would be able to shut down Hoot, unless you were giving him 40 creds head start. As for the Stanhope side of things, Trist would be a regular member of every team in the GVFL including Seymour and Shepp Swans. When your 6-4, move well, have good skills and can play at either end of the game, you play seniors.

Hang on Baba.... Althought he is more than handy in the KD and has provern himself in the KD... U might be pumping Bevo's Bridgestones up just a smidge to much.... Yes he can play all over the ground... But GV ruckmen, CHF and CHB are alot bigger bodied and strronger than the King so he may struggle in that respect.

Thats not always the case Baba, there have been many a good player that finds himself @ the wrong club and ends up in the twos. There was a big bloke that kicked 130 goals two seasons back in the KDFL and decided to get fit and do a preseason and give GVFL a crack but didnt get a good opportunity (had he gone anywhere else and he would have kicked 40+ goals). Shepp twos also lost a few good players a couple of years ago from their twos team that would have been playing seniors in any other comp. I am not saying Trist isnt good enough but Swans had a fantastic 21 last year and there is no guarantee he would get a game for them.

Re: Kyabram District FL

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. I think your poitn has merit, but I'd back Trist in, all things being equal

You don't need to be a good footballer to tag Baba, Kyle has the fitness and persistence and will to win to go with most onballers. Can he kick a football well, no, does he need to for a role like this, no. He is probably the best tackler in our side and shows disregard for his own safety which he will need both to play on hoota.

OTM atleast we have a bit of talk on here, it has been pretty dry for a couple of weeks, and from the amount of posts it seems most are interested in what is being said.

 

[Baba Ganoush]

Re: Kyabram District FL

Your entitled to your opinion Hank, but I think you'd be turning to Plan B pretty early on in the game if you were to start Kyle on Hoot. Your right, you don't need to be able to kick to play a taggers role, but I think Hoot's footy smarts would crucify him.

Re: Kyabram District FL

Just a Theory for you BigFooty posters:

If you play KDL which is probably the worst standard of Football in the land.
And if you play Reserves, and if your Reserve's side finished Last in the League, and if you ("the player") finished last in their Best and Fairest, then:

Question: Would you be the worst player in Australia?

My next question is:

Who finished last in the Murchison Reserve's Best and Fairest?

Have to back u up here forty one, 61yr olds don't chase after catches in the nets and dive head first into dirt like you did the other night, did you even get a hand on it in the end. Great commitment though.
