this is good news for the cats luke forbes is a gun! could it be in one gfl player out the other??

Is good for Forbsey and Geelong. Has played a bit this year in their VFL team and has kicked a few goals (one in particular that got Phil Cleary moist). Due to Geelong's lack of injuries, Forbesy hasn't had much oppotunity to play but obviously he has done enough to attract the attention of Geelong. Also Tomma, where you refering to Sherringham or someone else. Speaking to Joeys Pres. Shane Murphy and he said that Sam Hunt old man is keen on Sam returning to Joeys one day. Could be a direct swap....

i did mean sheringham whispers but now that you mention it sam hunt has to be on his last legs in terms of chances at afl level? would be interesting to see how he goes at gfl level, is he any good in the vfl or just another number?

Has had a sh*tty season this year with injury but is probably too old to have another crack at AFL. Big boy however and would slot nicely down back for Joeys I'd reckon. Also I heard that Torquay's Ben Raidme maybe heading over to Sth Australia and have a kick in the SANFL. Bit like what Reece Woods did this year....
 
NORTH Shore prez Gordon Hynes was a special guest on ABC radio Sat. morning. That was on the Coodabeen Champions program.
I didn't know at one stage during his Seagull coaching days Hynesy had actually been invited to apply for the Geelong AFL senior coaching position, so he did knowing he was a real outsider for the role.
Ex Sydney Swannie Chapman is the coach at North Shore now, I believe.
 
BFL Finals start this week, will be interesting to see what happens. Barwon Heads are starting to get injured/suspended players back and i reckon they can beat Ammos. Saw Heads play Anglesea last week and Plowman dominated, with Kershaw back their forward line will be potent.

Alright, who's everyones tips for the 1st week of BFL finals:-

Heads should beat Ammos, will be a good game though...
Torquay will knock the Grove out leaving only their ressies, to continue in the finals
 
are you serious about the heads beating ammos? i think ammos should beat heads comfortably

Heads have beaten Ammo's both times this season, and Ammo's will be missing Lindsay Smith by all accounts...

AMMOS will be missing Lindsay Smith for the rest of the season with a broken collarbone sustained ina motorbike accident, also for this weekend they will be without star forward Sam Clark who has a groin injury. Ammos without their 2 best players it will make it tough for them as they have a few other injuries as well.

i think ur forgettin the ocean grove under 18s who finished top.. get the facts rite..:thumbsu:
 
Does anyone who Newtown are looking at to coach there seniors next year? with terry bright stepping down. I already know off Riccardi heading to GWSP... What else is news with the coachs of GFL BFL and GDFL???
 
The Grove and Torquay game will be a cracker a few old ballarat league players in both sides looking to settle some old scores should be a very physical encounter might worth the drive down to portarlington. My tip the Grove by 19 points Sproule will be the difference if he plays apparently very doubtful.........

Spoule will play... I have an insider down at The OG. Hope he doesn't though, i know a very capable backman that could do his job plus more who is playing in the scooby doos (two's) at the moment!!:thumbsu: :thumbsu:

I'd love to say yes Tomma, but i can't for certain. When the big matches are on though i'd have a C7 bloke in the team. His form has been good on Saturday nights of late, i am now hoping he can carry them into Saturday afternoons. Wishful thinking? Im not sure, we will see...:confused:
 
After reading the article in the almighty Addy today by Jay Clark, who will claim the last two positions in the top 5? I reckon Leopold are already pencilled in with the run home they have so realistically its the last possie... Bell Park (to play St. Albans and North Shore) would be favourite for the last possie over Mary's (Lara and South Barwon). North Shore to beat Colac and Bell Park is too big of an ask...
 
My tip is the dragons will make it but i think Grovedale might beat Leopold at home in the last round leaving the gate open for another team to fill fifth spot.

If the dragons do make the finals does anybody really think they will have an impact. With the so called 'softest player to ever pull a bell park jumper on' (not sure why that was said, but i suspect some similar charachterisitics to what Jost Hunt displayed last weekend) getting a game can they really push the powerhouses like South Barown.

If they are to go past the 1st week of the finals i would have thought some of the key members of the team need to gel together a little better and play for the team, and not for thier pay packets.
