I agree with you beulahboy, however all our clubs are guilty of it. Unfortunately for the rest of us Underbool have megga dollars and have good blokes who can play and therefore attract others. I think there are a lot of clubs that are having a go this year which augers well for the competition but is it going to be the best of the rest again. Big Daryl Elliott has probably sold the car and with the 10 grand got these others from the city of churches. I think the Tigers will be a massive threat though if they do nail down their locals from far and wide. It is the ten year reunion of 99 when the tigers just snuck over Beulah in a great grand final that could have went either way.

Darky Parky was a handy player for the tigers a few years back- suffered a pretty bad injury since then and hasn't played a lot of footy. Tigers will need everyone they can get from what I hear. Losing heaps and not getting the players they thought they were!!!

It maybe just me but is the mallee football league beginning to become near impossible to compete for most teams in this comp. Must give credit to W/U they have been a fantastic side over the past few years, but you don't have to be einstine to work out that if they lure these extra players back they have the flag already in the bag. Why would any weaker sides even think of spending hard earned dollars to buy players knowing the result will most likely not change in 2009. The big question we must ask each other is where does the buck stop, what is the limit. I really feel money is the ruination of country football how can all clubs keep up with it without losing interest from other clubs not in the hunt and not enough cash to strengthen their sides. Anyhow just a thought and would be interested to see your thoughts, good luck to all for season 2009.

Dont we go over all this every preseason for the last how many years?
I'm not knocking anyone who goes and recruits well its what keeps the league going not the other way around. To say it stuffs the league is saying some clubs may have given up already. When Beulah were bringing great players up from town and winning flags, Inkster etc and you knew you were gonna get flogged you still show up for a day at the footy dont ya? Just barrack a bit harder.
What goes around comes around.
 
Just reread my post and it sounds like I am knocking BB or others. When really I agree with him but times change and there isn't a family on every 640 acre block any more.

What i'm trying to say is if Sea Lake or Woomelang or Beulah clean up this year they will have recruited well and thats how it goes, in cycles.
Clubs have to recruit because no small town has the numbers any more and you hang on while you can. Everyone knows whats coming sooner or later. Spending money is just delaying it.

Losing heaps??!! who? and not getting the players? Elaborate?
 
I have copied the grand final team for Sea Lake- i would be very suprised if they loose too many... most of them are home grown locals.... and most that have been talked about as recruits are also home grown locals. The three weelley boys and blake are probably the only doubtfuls
BARRY, Andrew 28 BARRY, Bill 6 BARRY, Dale 17 BARRY, Liam 5 BLAKE, Ricky 27 CONLAN, Matthew 64 CONSIDINE, James 12 COX, Terry 10 CRABBE, Brendan DOMAILLE, Rene 24 GIDDINGS, Gerard 56 HANNIG, Jason LLOYD, Joel 16 MARTIN, Luke 8 ROWETT, Adrian 3 SUMMERHAYES, Joseph 54 SUMMERHAYES, Tom 7 WEEKLEY, Russell 9 WEEKLEY, Scott 44 WEEKLEY, Simon 46 WITNEY, Matthew

Blake gone, Rowett gone, Weekley's going, T.Summerhayes going, Barry's x 2 going, Giddings going, Domaille going, TC's been getting offered the big $$ from all round the state so he's prob going too! Witney has been asked to play rugby in QLD- Coz he just smashes blokes!

Rooster1 or halftime must have different inside contacts.
Anyway even losing just 3 Weeklys would be a big enough hole in the side. They are pretty handy.

not sure where u get your information from hts, but you're a long way off the mark with that comment.
 
Halftimespecialist - I think your a tiger who has no idea about their own club or someone who has very poor sources. What I have heard is that Blakey is the only deffinate loss at Tigerland and the rest have signed, and if not very very close. It is a ten year reunion there and I think you will find the locals are flooding back and they are bringing a few with them.
Lots of rumours about Underbool, heard Noonan going back to Swan Hill and Palmer moving to Mildura to play there. My sources are probably as reliable as yours though halftimespecialist.

Have they signed or just given their word. Ouyen thought they had players last year and that fell through at last minute. Pay cuts to get extra adelaide boys or a general sum that they can divide?? Be a strong comp if they all come and the other clubs players come as well...Looks for a healthy 2009 season if evryone can nail down their prospects. Harris, Noonan, chicken, nathan, charles, rookie and rumour of Mala that played a coupla yrs ago is a lot of spots filled.?

yes they have all re-signed for next year.

Where do you get your info i & u? Is it a reliable source?

Not the same place halftime gets his I hope, because Rooster, talking about the same club disagrees with everything he has said so far.

my source is involved with the club and it was confirmed last night. charles had signed up too.

Seems like everyone is doubting my sources- the Sea Lake Tiger boys must be telling a few fibs to me if what rooster says is true. Tigers might be right up there again. Also sounds like a lot of speculation about the Adelaide players going back to Walpy/Underbool. Haven't heard much about Hopetoun or Beulah. What's happening there?

You still might be on the money HTS, rumours and bullshit fly aplenty during cricket and tennis season. Wont know until we see the transfer lists ourselves next year.
 
People are doubting your sources HTS because it is clear that you are making stuff up, if your claims are true about the tiger boys telling you stuff I would like to know who they are? The Weekleys are right, the Barry boys are right, Tommy and Ged are right and you add the Echuca recruits, I think that blows your stories out of the water. Maybe you should stick to making comments about your own club.
 
Been checking out the sunraysia league and by the forum, there is a shipload of potentials all going or approached by ouyen. Seems, if Ouyen can't join sunraysia then bring sunraysia to ouyen. Smart move or money waister? Time will tell. Wonder if there is any spots left for the locals? Early days yet, tennis etc to get through and nothing quite like a leadem on race up until the footy season starts and the transfers start to show on paper!

Bring the water to the horse.
