Well i never thought i'd see the day, but there's actually numbers at C/L pre-season this year! Usually when training starts (around Febuary) we'd see 5 to 10 blokes there right up until the season starts, but the boys have had an early start and there's been consistently 25 to 30!!!

If this keeps up the saints won't only be the most skillful side, they could also be close to the fitest!

I wouldn't even bother turning up if i was playin for rokewood or skipton and the like, its gonna be a Saints 3peat!!!!!!!

Natte won't have any going to Rokewood. There are a number leaving the club and going into retirement.

The talk is that Nick Manley may be lining up for Natte-Bealiba this year to attempt to cover the losses of Natte's 2 forwards in Brad Ross and McNamee. He will travel with the coach Bennett from Elmore.

Thoroughbred, who were the blokes in the Natte 2's last year kicking the goals, will they play 1's? Thought they were too good, for 2's footy the day they played us.

There was a car load of guys coming up from Melbourne. That Burns guy brought them up. I'm not sure of their names as there were 5 or 6 of them but they definitely were handy on the days that I saw. I'd say they would play senior footy this year if they are still at the club next year as Natte has lost all their firepower.

There was an ebay thing on this thread a while back where they put themselves on a mock ebay account. It might still be there!

There seems to be a direct correlation between Rob Waters coaching and premierships. The fact that he's not coaching makes me think the 3 peat is going to be difficult.

Very impressive numbers early though.
 
watched rokewood train recently, good numbers and looked a few new recruits that didn't reconise. augustine, biggs, begbie, douglas, bourke and few others looking fit, although a few other senior members of group need work. still questioning jmac as a coach there but time will tell, although it looked like gary wilson was still running the show... could anyone confirm who rokewood have picked up and what role does wilson have??????

tiges for 2008:thumbsu:

that's good news for c/l, but are the ones who are carrying a little weight such as ross waters, justin porter and a few others doing the work. I think it would be good for c/l to have a fit or even half fit porter and waters. May be about time.......

Not quite sure about that, i think the clubs won close to 20 premierships in seniors in the last 40 years, and shane young coached a flag in the LPFL a couple years before Robbie came. Will be interesting to see how the new blokes go tho.

Nothing to do with money pal, the coaches have decided to only go after blokes who have played with the saints in the past this year.

Damien Burns after returning from Mt Gambier

Trav Grigg from Daylesford who was a CL junior

Jake Pring from Daylesford whos played most of his senior footy with CL

Rob Mosby and Jimmy Templeton after a year or 2 with Redan 18s

well all the best to ross, i did know that he was living in geelong so thought echuca would be out of the question. might be good for him to have a crack at a higher level before he gets much older. c/l might have to hand the number 3 jumper to dave linane in a suprise come back- ?????

:confused::confused::confused:

Interesting, I heard the 25K negotiated was based on the players he said where certanties to pull on the Rokewood Guernsey. No Natte players has got to be embarassing for the youg fella. I hope he goes well, was an impressive effort first up as coach last year. :thumbsu:

Rumour has it that ”That Burns Guy” had a bit of a falling out at one of Natte’s social days to finish of the season.

Not sure if he will be going back. Don’t know if his mates will be returning if that is the case?

Actually I think had he gone to Dunolly, Talbot or Royal Park he would have taken a lot from Natte. He and Rokewood would never have expected anyone to travel from Natte to Rokewood every week. It was bad enough having to go there once a season from this district.

Chris Jardine back for Natte is a massive plus. He may have some pull from Castlemaine seeing he was their Captain. He is a proven major league player and will dominate in the LPFL.

James is not on much of a pay packet at Rokewood. He went there because it was close to Brat where he is based and sees a good chance of a flag there. Rokewood are recruiting well and look strong for next year. James does not need to recruit too many from Natte to field a strong team this year!
