pigdon should be good for newbridge, from all reports was a very good tactical coach when he coached the 2's there. would have to have better people skills then brent dyer. should keep a few more footballers there now with a new coach. is there any falling out with brad comer though? his old man is best mates with dyer. any clubs chasing any of the sandhurst players? talk is 10-15 of their senior team is looking elsewere...

Marong have spoken to a couple. I'm not at liberty to divulge any more details at the moment.
 
Damien Webb rang Matt Keating tonight to tell him that he is playing at North Bendigo next year. I don't know if Webb is going as Ass. Coach or just as a player but has said yes to North.
I think now you could add Kingdom, Alford, Loring andf maybe even Bennett to go with Webb. Don't be surpised if a couple of other YCW players from this year end up at North as well!

Eagles to struggle next year then i would imagine, it's not the way you want to start a coaching career with probably 4 of the best players gone (McCormick, Lorring, Webb, Bennett).

Good pick ups for Nth Bendigo though, will it make them competitive Bobbill? (Probably a question for the HDFL board) Is it a falling out at YCW or just a desire to go back to Nth?

north did beat the teams that finished 4th and 5th last year so they are already competitive. These players along Aarron Craig from the pioneers and a few others should put them in the finals race.

What about Calival frank. Any word on their new coach?
 
heard McCormick was talking to them but more as a player rather than coach. Don't believe they are in a hurry to appoint a coach, happy to wait and see who is avaliable and then appoint from there.
 
Brad Comer's name has come up on the North Central thread linking him with St Arnaud. It has been mentioned on here of a possible falling out with Newbridge. Any truth or just silly season B/S?
 
I've heard Nick Manley might be on his way back to calivil frank, how do you think he and mccormick would go in the same side?
 
Rick,

I don't think it would be an issue because if both McCormick and Manly were at Calivil i think you'll find that N.Manley would win the reserves goal kicking title.

I would have to agree went to elmore for a pay rise and didn't perform( W.O.G in the GF) just not fit and disciplined enough for senior footy, but in saying that if he played in a good 2's side could kick alot of goals

I know Marong was keen for Metrovich a couple of years ago but didnt have the funds. Is he one of them Hellboy? Maybe cheaper due to injuries and heard he will never return to the Slagheads?
 
a good support group helps, and young nick needs a good support for his seats so they don't break. At the end of the day he needs to pull his finger out and get at least semi fit and then he may find that instead of spending a vast majority of time on the pine he can play footy.

No doubt he can play, but is just lazy.
 
i just heard from a reliable soucre that both brad fawcett and gavin james will be leaving pyramid to play in a bendigo senior side together. Anyone know which team?

Did manley get much game time when he played at calivil origionally or did he play because they didn't really have any key forwards?
Was speaking to an elmore man the other day and he told me they were very disappointed with him.

when pip hetherington was playing Nick played mainly in a forward pocket or up at chf, obviously his motor isn't that big to allow him to play there. Played some good footy mainly because he got good match ups (hetherington, Fremantle demanded the best backmen) and is a massive kick of the footy and a good kick for goal.

Was found out a bit when pip retired and was soon off to Huntly.

i think Manly was thankful to the tribunal for giving McKern 3 weeks as it may have saved his spot.

when manly was at calivil he was never in any real danger of losing his spot. he always worked hard at training and was usually the last one off the field after trainings. when he is enjoying his footy he works hard and plays well.

never said he was in danger of losing his spot
never said he didn't work hard at training
never said he played well

On the field in his time at Calivil he was never the focal point to goal, he always got the third or fourth string backline player and that is what made him dangerous and ensured his spot in the team he stretched backlines, when he was at Serp he was the big dog in the forward line with Gadsden and didn't cope as well. At Huntly he was a focal point with Geary not playing struggled, at Elmore he was a bit player again and found his spot, however there wasn't a lot of pressure on him retaining his spot once he knew McKern wasn't avaliable.

He is like a lot of footballers, seems a lot better in good sides (see Des Headland's career) and struggles when the focus on him.

I know it was only at Huntly but he did come 3rd in our B&F last year he played some really good footy out of position spent a fair bit of time on the ball but yeah he got found out at elmore
 
i have a whole lot of respect for the man. he has the footy smarts that are needed to be a good player. sometimes his actions let him down on the field but he also has the skills to be a good player in a senior side.

my apologies, i didn't realise he had such a good year at Huntly. I don't think anyone questions his ability as a player.
