Have spoken to people on the board of the club and been told that nothing is yet confirmed with Bell? Has there been a change since yesterday arvo?
 
Re: Lexton Plains Football League

Dennis would be a very handy addition to the Eagles, as would Aiden if he follows his Dad across. The rumours he 'has signed' though, may seem a little premature-maybe he is likely to sign?

The following article was in Stawell Times on Friday.
Navarre in player talks

Navarre could potentially find itself with eight Melbourne-based recruits, including a Victorian Football League player, for the 2009 Lexton Plains Football League season.

Coach Ben Martin said he met with a number of interested players recently and was hopeful of possibly attracting a `car load' to travel to Navarre next season.

``There are some good sized bodies about them,'' Martin said.
``Two of them are about my size, but a bit more bulked up and two others are up to my shoulders but were nuggety sort of blokes.
``Eight of them came up but two of them are not playing. Two others didn't make the trip.''

Martin said he was unsure what the club's chances were of gaining the players' services, but believed signs were positive at this early stage.

``I don't know if we will get all of them but I reckon the one who played VFL is really keen,'' he said.

``The rover is also keen but the other blokes were weighing up what they are doing.''

Martin said the former VFL player, who has family connections at Navarre and Avoca, had watched the Grasshoppers play at different times last season.

``He watched us a few times last year,'' Martin said.

``I rang him on Friday - at this stage he is real keen but you just never know.

``At this stage you would be saying they are keen but you never think you have got them.''

Navarre will kick off its pre-season training on Monday.

Martin said training would be held on Monday and Wednesday nights from 6pm at North Park in the lead-up to Christmas. Training is then expected to resume in mid-January.

Read this in the paper the other day too-will have to wait and see how the recruiting goes. Hopefully a little better than last year.

yeah exactly well they need to do it to fit in with everyone because everyone else is out there for the cash

Not quite true-although there are a number who are. The reigning B&F winner is a born and bred Navarre boy-came up from the 3rds, played with a couple of us on here-the really promising players tend not to be the big money recruits. While yeah, Bucks would be doing ok out of coaching, he is also a born and bred Navarre boy-spent two years playing in Stawell before returning to coach. Not exactly as it seems.

Just proves those blokes havn't got what it takes and arn't prepared to do the hard yards, and what about the bloke that coached you in the u/17's saying at presentation about blokes hanging around and to stick by the club only to sign with Moyston a couple of weeks later?
