Re: North Central Football League
Heard on the grapevine that Boort still have a handy ruckman to come into their side... Played a couple of games for them last year, 1 against Charlton and is known as one of the better ruckman Boort has seen....

Re: North Central Football League
i think its funny that you were so wrong. its hard to pick a winner before the season starts, but after looking at the results so far your a long way off with the saints call.MasterOfRoc said:

Re: North Central Football League
Can anyone fill me in on how Sam Price has been going for St Arnaud in the first few games. Ripping bloke, loves a beer and a speedy left footer who can play a bit. Did well for Uni Blacks before going bush.

Re: North Central Football League
you'll find theirs talk of St.Arnaud talking about Wimmera league Bendigo league clubs too far away love to see them go Gisborn,Kyneton what a long trip tHAT WOULD BE. can;t see North central be around for ever is any thing happend Donald & St.Arnaud would fit Nicely in Wimmera f.L their not far from
Stawell,Ararat,Horsham, Minyip, Warracknabeal their only long distance would be Nhill
Look at Central Goulburn 7 clubs and end of 2005 they Folded and clubs went to Neigbouring leagues so northcentral wouldn;t want to loose any more clubs or be good night nurse, especally these days Mallee Lost 4 clubs within a 4 years between 1997 and end of 2000 so something will eventually have to happen in both mallee and North Central send some north central clubs to Mallee eg Birchip-Watchem would fit nicely their not that far from most ex Southern Mallee clubs, also wyche would fit in nicely boort to Loddon Valley
Bendigo league clubs too far away from st.Arnaud & donald maby send Charlton to wimmera we play charlton and birchip in the cricket wimmera-Mallee they have to travel all the way up to Hopetoun
Charlton i mean we also play Wycheproof/narraport as well
so can't see why wyche & Birchip can't be in the Mallee league
or merge the league offically since they are for the interleague
have one big comp

Re: North Central Football League
Initially no but they would be able to recruit out of Bendigo and maybe retain their own players who move to Bendigo for work or schooling.
But as pointed out by Andyt30 the trip to Gisborne would be a bit of a killer. Especially as the NCFL is essentially a local league, the distance between most towns in the comp is fairly small by the standards of many leagues on this side of the state. They would need to come to grips with that issue.
I do think that Donald and St Arnaud are logical additions to the Wimmera FL but believe all the NCFL clubs have expressed apreference for retaining their league as it is rather than seeking an alternative. Of course that is subject to change at any time I suppose.

Re: North Central Football League
sorry guys but i think it is sacrilige to suggest that birchip and wyche may one day need to join the mallee league. ncfl is doing something very wrong if it has to fold before the mallee league does. there are 7 clubs in each league, difference being ncfl is a major league and mallee league is minor. in addition, clubs such as woomelang, jeparit-rainbow and walpeup are in far more dire straits than any north central club. send any mallee clubs who are willing over this way i reckon.

Re: North Central Football League
What about joining the 2 leagues together and maybe having two different divisions?? However I still think NCFL will not fold as a league. As stated before the Mallee seems to have more troubles...

Re: North Central Football League
we'll take st arnaud & Donald and you can have Beulah or Woomelang/Lascelles or berriwillock well leitchville-Gunbower didn;t last very long in North central
and if boort keeps getting belted they won;t be there for long
even had talks at umpire training about St.arnaud & donald
they be better of more competetive in Wimmera rather then stay in north Central st.arnauds struggling they need to do something and soon
St.arnaud getting belted by Birchip-Watchem by 95 pts, then rd 2 when Boort belted St.Arnaud by 138 pts rd 3 Wedderburn won by 30 pts
fancy getting belted by Boort , St.arnaud be lucky to win a game this year
Like Ararat in Wimmera no wins 4 pts from a bye facing a back to back wooden spoon next be Nhill 1 win
well wimmera's a more stable League then North Central which is lucky to keep its major league Status loose anymore clubs be end of major league status ,

Re: North Central Football League
Boort is up and about very early on and are playing well. They have recruited very well. I think you will find that in the future it will go the same way as what the cricket has. A massive league with a fair number of teams and lots of distances to be travelled..

Re: North Central Football League
hes going really well, a nice part of the St AFC... yes he loves a beer or 10...and therefore fits into the club well..
i don't think hes quite at his best, but at the moment, none of our footballers are...the middle and end of the season should show a bit more for the whole club, including and especially pricey.

Re: North Central Football League
The VCFL what killed the Central Goulburn League, i think all leagues need a revamp look at Murray Picola & Kyabram got more them 12 clubs
Murray football league went from 11 to 13 with the inclusion of Tongala from Goulburn Valley & Rumbalara from Central Goulburn
Picola & District gone from 13 to 15 Shepparton east & Dookie united from Central Goulburn, Kyabram district from 11 to 13 yea & Violet Town from Central Goulburn,
so who knows if The VCFL has their way it won;t be too long before their be alot of changes up here again if north central looses any more clubs they will be stripped of Major League staus their not really major league anymore their not as strong as they use to be alot of one sided games there
Wimmera is more worth Major League status then North central wfl is more steady less one sided Matches
not many over 30 goals of late
and of cause we got the better Umpires alot better then North Central umpires

with what you are saying (which is quite true) it would be worth a go, for sure, although i don't think were too keen on yet another jumper change... if the BFL didn't have Gisbourne and Kyenton...then it would be well and truly on the books...although wimmera looks like the most likely league at this point

Re: North Central Football League
we have our fairshare of the good umpires, but they seem to always go to the mallee games...
our best umpires... Summerhayes...great bloke, talks alot to the players (explains his decisions) rarely makes a mistake
Mal Burge - probably the best in the league...loves a beer and a chat
Goodridge - has his days, up there with burge and summerhayes on his day, yet down the bottom with McHugh in others
Steve Zsigmond is apparently doing alright in his debut year...knows the game well, and is always fair.
'Rocket' Wilton - the best ive seen...just never gets to umpire a NCFL game, always sent to the mallee

Re: North Central Football League
Watched a bit of Donald over the last few weeks and the rumbles around the footy oval are that they are really missing the talls from last year namely Nathan Sachse and Brad Hancock and a key full-forward - looks like they are missing the big long kick of Leigh Brown. From what i have heard he hasn't lost his kicking boot down in the Central Highlands League having kicked 14 goals, 2 points in the last two weeks. Any chance of him coming back to Donald?? Will Glenn Wilkins be able to fill this gap!! or do donald look to an unknown in a scrapping forward such as Hawkes?? Boort certainly are the real deal this year, i would say that loss really scraped the hearts of the donald club on Saturday!!

Re: North Central Football League
I agree Scoop. Dunno what andyt is talking about when he says "fancy getting belted by Boort". I dare say Boort will be giving out a few thrashings this year!! The club will no longer be content with their past performances. They are a new club and with this new club will bring success.....

Re: North Central Football League
i hate to see clubs go to the wall especally when their getting flogged every week look at Tongala hadnt won a game in gvfl for 2 year, moved to Murray and won a game so i think St.Arnaud needs to move to a stronger competition
they need a change wonder what will happen if they don;t wn a game they will struggle to win one Donald should be ok with all the ex Horsham players they got i think St.Arnaud are the new North Central Easy beats
loosing to Birchip-Watchem,Boort & Wedderburn,
this weekend will be intersting St.Arnaud has coming up donald this weekend, bye, wycheproof,charlton, 2nd round Birchip-Watchem
if st.arnaud struggle to win the remaining First round fixtures before they play the 2nd half will struggle but funny things happen,
cheers

Re: North Central Football League
Wilkens was absent from the team that was belted by Boort on the weekend so he will be keenly welcomed back into the side. Apart from that Donald had a full strength side so they dont have to many excuses for the loss. They were simply beaten by a classy side with some gun players, least of which, two blokes that go by the name of picioane!!As for Hawkes, he has been struggling in recent times with injury and hasnt played a game yet this season, so Donald may have to look elsewhere for a forward option. I think there is more chance of Lee's younger brother going to Waubra to join him than of Lee returning to Donald next year. However conditions at Waubra may not suit the big fella as it is quite often cold and wet which could test those hamstrings !!

Re: North Central Football League
To be classed as a major league you need 8 teams, however NCFL was already classed as a major league and has faught very hard to keep that tag once teams like leatchville etc have left. Introducing beulah would take the pressure off the VCFL to downgrade the NCFL to a minor league. Both NCFL and VCFL are pushing for the new club to arrive. and Beulah are definately to strong where they are. Expect the move to happen quicker than anticipated. even as early as next season.
Pros and cons for this move...
Pro's - keep Major league status (which is a good promotional tool for the league and recruiting)... wont be 3 byes... and an extra side to freshen the league up.
Con's - Do you know how far Beulah is away!!!!! might make it tough to recruit bewndigo and melb based players for teams when the have to go to not just birchip but Beulah as well.

Smartest comment on this topic to date
The only question to pose would be.. Would these sides be able to competitively contribute or would they need to merge with another team before coming to NCFL

Re: North Central Football League
Summerhayes - Spud... loves the spotlight, over exagerates his actions and over umpires way to much.
Mal - agree with your comment
Goodridge - Don't get me started... little man sindrome, has his favourites which umpires shouldn't show.
Zsigmond - had him in a practice match. very impressed with his first run. Didn't over umpire and explained any decision he made. You don't mind getting a free kick against if the umpire can explain why.
Rocket - haven't seen enough.
Souldn't bag the umpires though because without them we wouldn't be playing....... But i just cant help myself

Re: North Central Football League
Great call patty on this couldnt agree with you more. Everyone of these blokes except for Zsigmond are on a power trip and over umpire the game. What about Peter McCugh now there is a class act in the umpiring fraternity.. (under 14's maybe)
Your right though what would we do without them and to there credit they always have a beer with you afterwards!!
