Would get a game in any minor league side, and would push for selection (at the very least) in ANY major league side. Hes a quality player, Boort will miss him dearly should he go. But its great to see local talent broadening their horizons!

He has spent 4-5 years at Boort but he is hardly local talent. Grew up in Cohuna and has been a Ballarat boy for the better part of 6-7 years.

 

[Wedderburner]

if you can become a "local boy" then hes done it

Barty played for Talbot in the practice match against Natte last season and was more than serviceable. The club would be happy to get his services that is for sure.

I'm told Talbot are in need of KPP's, especially with the likely relocation for work commitments of one of last years recruits, and that midfield types might not be what the Hawks recruiting department would be after...

We need some more midfield depth. A couple of top-line midfielders is what we are after... Prickles is one... and we're hoping to get one more.

How did Chris Gunn go this year think he plays for the rovers, he aways trys to tell me how good he is

Gunn was rumoured to go to Talbot then later Carisbrook this year but did stay at Rovers. I don't think he had as good as year as his past couple. Can go ok at times.

Agreed... pace his biggest asset!

Jamie Elliot appointed coach of Castlemaine. Will he take anyone with him from Rovers?

 

[wonker]

I hear the Dix boys have been talked about in both Natte and Bushy Park circles.

I'm told you will soon be on the hunt for another tall however, CHB moving to Gold Coast for work... or was he expendable?

Not being too insulting but there are very few players at Rovers that would make any difference at Castlemaine. He's more likely to get guys from the Riddell District where he has a number of connections.

 

[EarToTheGround]

I hear the Dix boys have been talked about in both Natte and Bushy Park circles.

My mail is that they won't coach either side although offers have been made. Brendon was approached for Royal Park and I have heard Gavin was approached for Natte. It is believed both have said no to the offers.

HaHa definately expendable!!! Nothing been finalised yet.... we shall wait and see.

I'd have Newstead above Bushy... Reckon Newstead will get a couple back and be more competitive. Other than that not too bad. You'd expect Brook to go ok too.... Will be tough to pick.

my recent mail is that a big mover and shaker out at apple-eating land has is nose severly out of joint. apparantly he isnt happy with the clubs culture and has stated he will not be tipping in his usual semi-trailor full of coins.
can anyone else shed some light on this or have heard anything?
what effect will this have on flag aspirations, this man provides them with a lot of cash!

Not that it matters but swap trentham around with dunolly. Top 4 again should be Harcourt, Avoca, Talbot, 'brook in no particular order. Maybe Maldon the big improvers, You never know tho do you.

 

[Heresay McGossip]

Daniel Smith will be standing down as Harcourt coach. Will stay as a player and will be involved in the appointment of the next coach.

Trentham are an unknown quantity. I think they burned a bit of cash last year, so hopefully they can retain a few of their players. I think Dunolly will improve and prob deserve to be rated higher than Trentham at this stage.

CRANK, Alpaca and boys ---- is Chipper going to go around again in 08 ??

maybe joint coaches of paul eyles and sean smith if they dont both go back to kangaroo flat was one rumour and phil lobb as assistantwas the other one

Not sure Jock. I haven't heard if he's staying think brook were confident of keeping him at seasons end.

i thought eyles had gone to the borough (eaglehawk the good borough) to be an assistant to derrick filo?

 

[Sherman41]

Not sure Jock. I haven't heard if he's staying think brook were confident of keeping him at seasons end.

i believe that chipper will be staying at brook and is quite happy there, i know carisbrook are very keen on keeping his services at the club, as chipper, chief and bazza gorman all had payment meetings with brook a couple of fridays ago...i wonder how high the pay packet for him will be this year....however there is along time to go before the season starts and im sure that he will be approached by numerous other clubs....rumour has it rovers are keen on his services also, they organised a meeting in ballarat with him to which he never showed up to....wonder how that went down......

 

[eromsil]

Word has it that hard man Noel Jacobs _( Nattee) will be at Dunolly next year in a coaching role. The big fella was a bit slow this year in the Lexton Plains League however, from a good source he's on a big fitness campainge. Good chance Jacobs will call on a few players from his coaching days as closer to Bendigo. Will only assist Dunolly with further new's that the local butcher may give it one more go also. Dunolly looking for big results in 2008.
