So what's the story at Miti? What's not running smoothly? Is it committee, coaching, players or supporters?

who will win u17s 2009 ???
Really hard to say Daniel....but I'll give the ladder a go, based on the current clearances and history
Marong (the club has worked hard to field feeder teams of U12, U13.5 and U15 in the BJFL - the club understands the importance of the U 17's)quote]
Marong are certainly benefited by having a junior football club with so many teams. This year there has been 16 players step up to U17 from U15.
However, unlike most the other clubs in the LVFL (with the exception of YCW), being so close to Bendigo means that a lot of the quality U17 players go on to play U18 in the BFL instead of staying with the club and moving into the senior ranks. Luke Savy and Lachy Frankel are two good examples of that this season. This is also the case with Elmore coach Andy Grant, a long time Marong junior footballer.
The problem lies in getting those players back to the club after that. Any player worth their salt will almost certainly be convinced to play on at the higher level. I guess this is just bad luck from a club perspective, and good luck to the individual if they can go on and be successful at a better standard.
Marong will never have a problem with junior numbers, but will also never receive the full benefit of having quality juniors moving into senior football with the club.

Calival (always recruit well by running that bus from the Eaglehawk town Hall to training - Alan Stokes will have every footballer that has walked into Eaglehawk IGA - the club values U 17's)
YCW (have recruited well)
Bridgewater (has a few gun players - unsure of the rest)
Newbridge (usually pick up kids from Kangaroo Flat)
Mitiamo (they usually end up in the middle somewhere - also Jackson Falls is a fantastic player)
Pyramid Hill (surely they wouldn't have lost many players from last year - I think they were young in 2008)
Serpentine (a bit of a dark horse - could end up high up the ladder if they are able to get some more players - rumour is that a cpl of kids are coaching them - this will mean an enthusiastic group that will try to recruit hard - good luck)
Inglewood (their local kids don't want to play for their own club - can't field a side)
What do you think Daniel?
Good start to the year for Bridgy. Metheral moved well and will be very handy this year. Bit of an upset with Miti getting over the top of Calivil after reports that they were getting flogged in the pre season games. Shows how much you can rely on pre season form.
Anyone see that game? Calivil have a full squad in?
I must say that it was a surprise to see YCW get up as well as they have been very quiet in the lead up to this season.

I think one of the most impressive things about the YC performance was that they came from 15 points down with about 10 mins left kicking into the breeze. It will give them the world of confidence going ahead into the season.
Serp on the other hand will be shattered with letting that slip. A lot of older and/or bigger bodies that ran out of puff towards the end. I think they may struggle this year and will be found out towards the end of a lot of games.
I saw a lot of their pre-season training and it was mostly kick to kick and lane work. Did hear the comment that the coach couldn't make them run a few K's b/c if he did, he'd hardly get anyone to turn up to training.
gee... bit touchy. settle precious. I don't think I was posting trash, and neither do YCW. Just calling it how I saw it... and heard it. You can quote Steve as much as you like.
Fact is - YCW ran you off your legs ...against the wind... and they only won 1 game last year. Let's see how the season pans out for you. Best of luck
Fact is, you're backing away from what you said and pretending you wrote about the game against YCW. I said it was fair enough for people to comment on the game and how stuffed some players were, because that is probably very close to the truth. But to completely conjur rumours and present them as fact for no reason is another thing and really makes you look silly, especially for those who might read it and know better.
You commented on Serp's pre-season not the game on the w/e. You shot off about how you were at many of Serp's sessions and it was simply lane work and the players would not train if they had to do running...
Admit that you simply lied about this and it is a fabrication, because anyone who was involved at any level with the club during pre-season would know that this is complete rubbish.
If you cannot at least concede your poor form on this issue, then there will be no point me replying further, but both you and I know what you said is unfounded (if you prefer this term to trash) and that's good enough for me, even if you won't admit it.
I have no personal grievance with you otherwise, but the constant rumours and tarnishing of people/clubs on this website has become rediculous and I felt the need to defend those involved here. Furthermore I am not a Serp player or official so you should wish them the best of luck.
I think you read his post wrong. You're on your horse... the high one.
Looking at your posts KITC, with all due respect... and remember, I'm saying with all due respect.... your opinion ain't worth a velvet painting of a whale and a donkey gettin it on.
Posting long, self-rightous drivel is your game... You don't support Serp but you know the inside stories... and on the Bendigo FL thread, you don't support Flat but you went into great detail about the Phil Lobb story... too much spare time fella
i wish serp the best of luck with the amount of cash they are paying average players, the 3 big recruits in the advertiser will take serp nowhere near the top,
I cannot talk about the other 2 recruits but having played against Miggy Podosky I can safely say that he will be a very good player in the LVFL. Very quick, a great pair of hands and good skills.

Your right about the long posts, but sometimes to get your point across it is necessary, if you leave some of your argument out, people are 1. very quick to jump on and critisise.
2. If you don't rate my posts, tough luck, you can always block my responses if it makes you feel better Plugger.
1....... just like you have. Many people hear things 2nd & 3rd hand and post it on here as gospel. Everyone knows that... you take Bigfooty info with a grain of salt.
2....... far from it. You're like a pit bull in a cage. All I have to do is poke you with a stick and you put on another show. You're very entertaining KITC
