yer we'll have to wait and see.If Mario uses him correctly and they are supportive and patient, he'll be good.
im not exactly sure but i think maybe that the ones who cant get a game in the 3rds will play 2nds...
Agree with your thoughts Merc. IB from Notra should really stay and finish his last year in under 16's he is a strong boy but really still needs to give himself every chance to dominate at interleague and hopefully get noticed again by the squads. The Bears have been aproaching a lot of Under 16's to play and some of the ones you have mentioned have signed. I understand they also had a crack at Patone. I have been told that Harris and Gooley are staying with their junior clubs for the season. I hope this is true as the junior comp has had quality developing over the last couple of years and it would be good to see what these boys can really do this year. United actually have 2 under 16's on their list, Hall from Dookie and Tetley from Katunga. Like the swans, I believe that United does not currently have any SDJFL under 16's on their list. The Harris's, Patones, Bruns and Patones of the league can still learn a lot from quality coaches in Kitto and Timothee to name a couple. I don't understand what the hurry is to play GVFL Thirds.Conflicting reports on the result but a Bears player tells me that they got beaten by 2 goals. Anyway who really cares it is a practice match and used for that. Interested in your comments D4E as the Bears had Harris from Wanganui Under 16's and at least four players from Notre in that side. Was not at the game however given the names that played in both Thirds and Seniors it would suggest to me that they are struggling for numbers if you have to have 5-6 Under 16's playing 4 you. Crawf from Bears did not play but not too sure how many others were out. They also have Thompson from Shepparton High who played on the night who will be playing for them yet he is also eligible for Under 16's. I think Chappy Young is also eligible for Under 16's as well. That makes 7-8 players from the Under 16's that played on the night. In terms of your earlier comments D4E I believe these Under 16's should be playing as much Junior footy as they can. Unfortunately your neighbours prefer to rape the Junior competition just to try and pinch a couple of good players. They have b...s..ted to one of my players and he is playing with them all year yet he had the opportunity to play in the Under 16's comp, play Interleague etc etc and get back into the bushies squad ( he was cut at the last training night). But you cannot get it thru to some of these kids because of all the crap that club spreads. I believe it is ruining our young players whom are not ready physically, mentally, emotionally and footy sense wise. Anyway you cannot control the actions of others!! Must catch up one day mate
I think you will find that 30 to 32 will be needed on the list to cover every possibilty. It might mean that a rotation will take place if everyone is fit and available.
The players brought in may well have been better skilled then yourself. Having talked to a number of coaches this year, they have all stressed how difficult it was to select a squad. They go for quality as a player and a person and not whether they are top age or bottom age. Having spoken to Cooch at United and Nicho at Swans, both of them start identifying players to recruit as soon as the season commences. They are both planning ahead. If you were cut or told not to bother you should ask the relevant coach for some feedback which may help your development.
I have seen this kid play a couple of games last year and have watched him during pre season. He has muslced up a bit and grown 3 inches since last year. Still pretty raw and has a lot to learn but I reckon cooch and the recruiters may have uncovered a good one in Hally. I thought he went alright and had a red hot go in the night game last week and kicked a goal. Anyway we will see as the season goes on.If Mario uses him correctly and they are supportive and patient, he'll be good.

mate u have never seen any of the swans bois play so are in no place to comment ..
first of all the list of swans 3rds is about 10 times better than it was last year and i would say these 8 would be able to play GV seniors at maybe Tat, Ky, Bears, and maybe United..
barroli played half the season with the swans last year and the rest played Div 1 in the SJDFL
Finnen, Barolli, Preece, Grant and Timothee all played Interleague last year. They have all been invited to Bushies training in the past with Finnen progressing the furthest.
What is the hurry to play senior foooty when you are just out of junior footy? Their are a lot of players coming up from the Under 16 ranks that have the ability to play senior footy in time. But lets give them time to develop, grow into their bodies physically, handle the demands of thirds footy and in general become adults. The boys are all very mature however over the next 12 months they will start getting their drivers licences, some may even move out of home etc etc and their life will change enourmously. Its a big world out there and this time of life is very important and Cooch, Nicho and Wellsy have a huge responsibility in developing these players for the future. These guys are all good coaches and more importantly sensible guys who want their players to develop into quality people primarily and then the footy ability that these players have will shine through on the footy field.
But Normo and Dash were in pretty strong senior sides those years and that is thje situation that thses boys are in mate !!
