[roberts-thompson]

tyson, angus n westy are going to euroa, cam is going to nerandera i dont think thats how you spell it and stevo isnt playing next year due to study... so pretty much there goes your list n your good players cos i spose jack mcpherson will go play at euroa now cos of these boys as well as harry sleigh also from grammar playing there

even if these boys are to leave, theres a thing called "recruiting" mate and the younger boys will build up and be 100% better footballers, VT still are not tipped to even make finaks but they have a dip, and i think they will be a lot better off this year with a completely new coaching panel consisting of gary abley, john and mick gerada.

yeah fair enough but they are the bulk of the older age players but yes i shouldnt have said that to be spiteful, i would really like to see violet town have a good year in all categories, no doubt they will in seniors anyway... reports of what i've heard about young nick abley sounds as if hes going to be the one leading the team.. can someone tell me a bit more about him?

lol and love the name, be good to see you out on the park dennis, you should get shane whitelaw on the train as well im sure you'd become great buddies

lots of wraps on this young kid will play a key position and will push for senior selection

brad gleeson to nagaz

Must say I like the look of the kid, comes from very very talented sporting stock. Know his dad and the family very well and do think he will make a footballer How old would young Brad be 15???

 

[Superfly]

Apparently young Brenton Campbell son of Gringo is off to Undera this year, bringing some of his Mooroopna teammates with him. This is surely a good sign for the lions as they have struggled in the last few years at 3rds level. I've heard reports that he is a very handy young forward. Anyone seen him play? How do you think he will go this year?

I think hes 16 this year doona. Nagambie should be ok this year, you would know Haydn is coaching the 3rd, think he will be good for the kids and i think Brad will love playing for his old man, just a pity they aint doin it around Ironbark Stadium.

 

[smoothgroova]

fair enough mate, u're entitled to ur opinion as much as the next bloke. just out of interest though, did u see avenel thirds play last year? whilst i am prepared to concede that clifton would be ahead of anything of what avenel have and kliempt seems to be a very good player, the rest of the seymour blokes u named would certainly not be out of the avenel guys' league. keeping in mind, avenel thirds had 9 players with senior football experince last year

They may have had senior experince at avenal because avenal 1st were pathetic. They wouldnt have even got a game with seymore 2's. There is a big standard difference between GVL 3rds and KDL 3rds. I have experienced both

Yeah was aware of that, Im sure that Brad would one day like to represent the Tiges like many of the clan have over the years.

well, certainly not all 9 but i believe 2 or 3 would have. seymour twos were an exceptional side this year, capable of beating some senior GV sides i would imagine. i doubt more than one or two seymour thirds would have gotten a game for seymour twos, although i could be proven wrong as i know during the year seymour had an incredible amount of injury's. i am not disputing that there is a big difference between KD and GV thirds, which particularly evident the lower sides of each comp. i did not saying avenle would have beaten seymour 3rds either. what im saying is that it would have been a competitive match but seymour probably would have won by a couple of goals. i do believe that they would have beaten some of the lower GV sides though, but thats my opinion.

 

[big tony]

are the lancaster players the ones that don't make the kyabram (GV) team?

 

[roberts-thompson]

i seem to bring bad news to this thread all the time...
brad will be playing with the euroa boys this year. talked to him last night at a party n he said his old mans trying to get him but his best mates are all playing at euroa so thats where he'll be. i dont think you can talk a bloke out of playing with his best mates just because his dad is coaching.

 

[scottwestjr]

my tip this year is stanhope young patto will be killing it some others like alex o'reilly, john taylor, sammy dearing and ben nexip will have a good year 2

Must agree that Stanhope will move up this year Billy C seems Quietly confident that his second year in charge will bring a lot more success then last.

Two maybe three of those will get a fair run in the seniors this year if they can get some depth in the thirds then it should be a good year for them with some experiance coming in and out.

 

[cosby]

Sometimes, but not necessarily.
Alot of lanky's kids come through the under 16's in at Ky.
Kyabram draws kids from a large area and not all can play at GV level, but a fair few choose not to as well and will go out to Gig, Stanhope, Merrigum and Lancaster with thier schoolmates rather than even try their hand in at Ky.

 

[subtle hustle]

That's a load of crap cosby.
Lancaster have always gone out of their way to get blokes and kids who aren't good enough for ky. You should know this.

Well if they aren't good enough for Ky what is stopping them going out to Lancaster or lancaster poaching them?????

 

[cosby]

You've got a bee in your bonnet about something Subtle, perhaps you should spill it.
Just quickly and in general lancaster and probably a number of other KDL clubs that surround Kyabram are three times the 'club' that Kyabram are. It's a factor that keeps coming back to bite them and a reason some people like myself realise when they go elsewhere that they aren't missing much.
Lancaster aren't the only club that get former Ky players, and lets face it there are alot of them.

 

[SOLMAN86]

Sitting down here at Seymour and reading the Lancaster talk it does not suprise me to see a bit of Ky-Lancy rivilary.

BuyWhat about the good stories up that neck of the woods.

Down here we seem to argue about KD thirds not being able to get near GV teams etc.

GV thirds eats us for Breakfast

But one thing I noticed with your system which was vey good was the 15 - 16 year old KD guns going to Merrigum Lancaster GIrgarre etc at a young age b4 switching to Kyabram.

To me it serves as an Apprenticeship to the GV thirds when the boys get to 17 18 ish

Fine exmples I can still think of are

Adam Homer, Josh Pell, Francis Caldow(Tatura) Kyle Wheeler Brett Scarcella & im sure there are more.

It does hurt the KD boys when they move on but S.H.I.T if you are good enough for GV you must go there.

I think if you are playing KD1s at a half decent club when you are 16ish you must make the move to a GV 3rds club the next season

Mate the Avenel 3rds side would of nearly nailed Seymour last year.
BUT Your offspring and Tommy Stevens out of that side and I dont feel Avenel 3rds would of got Within KOOWEE
