Local Geelong Leagues Thread (GFL/BFL/GDFL)

[Drago]

i have heard that they are having a crack at Chris Obst, former Hawthorn player i think, captain at Port Melbourne, used to live down here when he was younger maybe? apparently there chasing him. anyone heard anyting on this??

I have heard that he is heading to GDFL club where he has a good mate who is coach.

 

[The Hulkster]

I would think the following jobs are up for grabs.

Leopold
Moddewarre
Joeys

Newcomb - don't be surprised to see Bruhn and O'Toole leave and go to Corio.

Anglesea - Gowans boys to return especially if Central win the SANFL flag again. They were to good when they played before, will dominate again,

Torquay - interesting one, i think Barrow would stick around, did a pretty good job this year.

Joeys will go for a big name coach dont worry about that.

 

[G.F.C]

O'toole basically decalred his hand by saying he would never, ever play under the Football Geelong banner again.

That was mentioned in todays paper about otoole & bruhn and i herd a whisper stewart told corio at the start of this year that his playing at newcombe this year and going back to finish his footy at corio in 2008 and otoole loves roving to stewart and will follow stewart back there.

I hope someone at Corio has recently won 1st div in Tatts, cause that will be the asking price!

There's another coaching job up for grabs in the BFL. About 3 weeks ago I noticed Barwon Heads put in an add in the Addy for the senior coaching position. Any thoughts on who might take that up?

too true so in other words they wont be playing at corio next year unless they take a pay cut and i cant see them doing that cause as we no loyalty no longer exists at footy clubs anymore its all about the cash$$$$$$$$$$$

 

[G.F.C]

Anybody else here a rumor of Chris Heffernan being sought after by a GFL club?

Modewarre have appointed Kent Butcher as coach

 

[benrey_demons]

fopiani and chapman contracted at drysdale until the end of 2008 i believe

 

[G.F.C]

Modewarre have appointed Kent Butcher as coach

For real?? As playing coach? How old would Kent be now?

 

[Whispers]

For real?? As playing coach? How old would Kent be now?

33 or 34?

 

[Caromadorf]

Butcher rumored to be bringing a few from CDFL. Any word on Parker coming too?

Anyone know much about Simon Geiljon returning to coach at a Geelong club if he misses on a Ballarat job? Is Tyson Lane coming to Geelong looking to play or coach?

 

[Flat Track Bully]

Some interesting reading here...from the VCFL news on most leagues pages...

Am aware that they are prepared to spend plenty next season to get them back with a winning chance.

M Shannon won the club B & F.

From what i can gather they have spent a lot of money the last 2 years with the recruits/coaches they got from Lara. It was not money well spent. I think they need someone who has experience to coach them. Barwon Heads have a reputation for paying out the dollars and not getting the results. Their last premiership back in 1994 (93??) i think was from a big spend and it sent their club back for the next 10 years. They keep trying to do that. Their U18's won the flag a couple of years ago they should focus on bringntheir kids through rather than throwing dollars everywhere.

Problem is, most of the good kids get lured across the bridge........

My Tip For Grand Final

Sth Barwon looking for 3 in a row Bell Park who created a dynasty in the under 18's looking for a second flag in 5 years.
I as most hope that For john fitzgerald the parker boys get over the line and if anyone is going to do it it will be john.
My Tip
Bell Park 21 points
B.O.G.- Hard to go past Armstrong and Talbot but Kane Robertson for mine one of the toughest and fair footballers in the leauge

Probably becasue they are sick of their club bringing in blow ins every year for big dollars and forgetting about the local lads who have been there for years.

The majority of the "blow-ins" as u called them didnt play this season, and instead they played the juniors....and they finished down the bottom...and got beaten twice by Portarlington...

What are Barwon Heads like as a club?

How many players do they require to move up the ladder?

I didnt see them as much this season, but they strike me as a sort of club that is always going to have to recruit well to be successful, just for the fact that they lose a hell of a lot of their talented juniors across the bridge to Ocean Grove...

And who may some of these Heads boys who cross the bridge to OG be? From what i know its more the other way around, guys on the fringe at OG that travel to Heads??
