Murray Football League (Part 1)

Re: Murray Football League

After speaking to a few people around the traps, I'm interested to learn who BF followers think is the biggest hardman/thug in the comp? Anyone willing to put up some nominations...

Haven't played against him for a year or two, but Leigh Marshall from Deni was always hard at it, big strong bodied bloke. Split me right down the middle with a big hip and shoulder a few years back.

Yeah when he plays the ball-but can be a sniper

Marshall is back again ready to go, played last week for the first time this year against Tonny after touring the World Cup.

Re: Murray Football League

To be a hardman or a thug are two different things. A hardman would be a player who is hard at the ball for a whole game and who puts his head down at hits the packs. On the other hand, a thug would be a player who targets younger, more vulnerable players on the field and wants to fight more than he wants to play football.

So I'm guessing you want people to name players who they believe are thugs and love the biff?

Either/Or Willow. I'm just interested to hear peoples opinion. For example, you may call yourself a hardman and I may call you a thug, there can be different interpretations. Not that I'm saying your a thug. But I'm just interested to hear some thoughts on the topic

Oh okay that's alright then!

Has anyone got some tips for Round 7?

Mine are:

Moama v Barooga
Cobram v Echuca United
Congupna v Numurkah
Tongala v Rumbalara

Barooga will be big winners over an injury depleated Moama, Echuca United over an improved Cobram, Congupna in a close one at home against Numurkah and Rumbalara in another ripper game against.
Good Luck everyone!

Worst umpiring I've ever seen in my life, seriously. Sorry the most blatantly bias umpiring I've ever seen, since last time that boy umpired us in a game.

Yeah that young bloke was pulling SOFT free kicks out of his @#%, and some were down right pathetic but I think the game was lost i the first quarter, when we started half asleep. Sure we could have won, or even got closer then we did, but if rained like it did in the reserves, there probably would'nt have been another goal scoredfor the rest of the game, or any chance of a fight back.We'd probaly be saying it was still the umpire when the truth is we need to learn to win the dog fight's no matter wheather things are going our way or not. Hats off to HANKS boys, any wins a good win, but i can't wait till next time round, i've got a feeling things will be different.

How'd the rest of the round go????"

We were actually saying the same thing, was of a poor standard but up to 3/4 time we felt we were getting the rough end of the stick, a couple went our way in the last which may stick in your mind but definately a few the other way especially in the 2nd and 3rd 1/4's. Watched the game again yesterday and was actually thinking about putting some of the decisions and non-decisions on DVD to see what the umpires advisor thinks.
Definately not blatantly biased though morgs01, was very frustrating out there as you didnt know which way the frees were going but certainly didnt favour us over the whole game. Hard conditions to umpire in though I will admit.
Cheers.

Re: Murray Football League

Just wondering how Bryan Vance is going this year? herd big things about this kid....

Re: Murray Football League

Is it just me or does the league officials all come from Barooga. Early pre season I heard a whisper that draft 1 of the draw saw Barooga playing more then their fair share of home games (by quite a few) , and coming up to inter league weekend notice they have the bye this week and next.

Re: Murray Football League

Haven't seen him play as yet, but from reports in paper and that he has kicked 16 goals to date and been in best a couple of times, he must be going along pretty well.

Hank just wondering whether you have pulled on the boots yet? and if so how you bin doing?

Played the last two weeks mate, 2.5 1/4s against Deni and a full game Satdy against Rumba, so starting to get back into it. Mulwala this week so with their midfield that will give a good indication of how much work is still to be done.

as much as hate to say it alec but i think hank sold him self short there, was in the best in his first week, picked up 25 possies in his 2 and a bit quaters and was one of our best against rumba had close to 30 this week in the wet.

The reason why Barooga have 2 byes in 2 weeks is because they were suppose to have played Cobram this weekend, but the MFL moved that game from this weekend 2 round 1 (Easter Weekend) probably a wise choice because from all reports there was huge croud at the game which was played on Good Friday.
Maybe the Murray Football league should have a general bye, like GVFL and OMFL, probably be smart, then the players that do play interleague dont have to back up and play the next day??
And if they play more home games early on in the year, obviously they would be playing more away games later in the year, they still play 9 home games and 9 away games the same as all other teams.

Yeah huge stuff up IMO playing sunday after interleague, if the league wants this to be taken seriously then they aren't sending the right message themselves. Every side has 3 byes during the year, it is beyond me why every side doesnt just have the 2 byes and everyone has the interleague weekend off. Best chance was this year to get the strongest side on the park with the full scale game, believe next year goes back to the round robin which even if the weekend is off for all sides, a lot of players aren't interested in that concept.

It will always be hard for the league to get there strongest side on the park even if there was a bye as most of the highly paid players wont want to risk getting injured. I think that having a complete bye this weekend probably would of got more players interested though and the league should of made all clubs play over the easter weekend. I think playing over easter benefits all the clubs and if the league continues to get clubs playing there rivials eg: Echuca United v Moama it will continue to be a success.

What view do you Hank have as a coach on your top players playing on saturday and then having to back up and play on sunday?
