euroa are hardly soft....yes there backline is less accountable than the seymours and mansfeild but they do the job..... scotty grainger is a lazy full forwarrd who kicks goals...he doesnt lead so we have to bomb the ball in..... roch have run us both times,,,,from memory seymour smashed roc last time and i expect them to do it again....i must admit as mcuh as i hate it seymour have a great backline and they r very rarely beaten. both games against euroa they have been missing players...and so have we...... expect this years finals to be a close encounters. if u have a look at the top six... euroa has beaten----seymour, shep , benella and rochy,,,seymour has beaten mansfeild benella and roch---mansfeild have beaten euroa, shep and benella and roch and so on...so it looks like position in finals is going to be the key. we will jsut have to wait and see...... can euroa play at the finals pace....i hope so...my tip for the grand final is euroa vs seymour

Euroa backline less accountable. Wasnt this the same backline that kept seymours sharpshooters in collins and saad to 2 goals. Gee that must be a very accountable backline. Majority of goals kicked against euroa this year have come from oppositions on ballers. A backline of hamill, harper, shelton, mcbrien, king and morphett is reasonable, nothing flashy but they have been getting the job done by the looks of it. I would bomb the ball in to if you have full forward that can use his body like grainger. Obviuosly its working with him, jansz and hyatt as the talls the bamford, gibson and clayton roving to them. Not a bad game plan. They have stood up to every challenge so far from other finals contenders. They havent beaten mansfeild but word has it that they werent at full strength last time and they are quietly confident they can knock them off a bigger ground.

I think if Tongala left, then they would be happy to have 12 teams and therefore eliminate the bye.[/QUOTE]

I'll give you all a bit of inside information: if Tongala goes, Rumbalara will join the GV.
 
Re: Official GVFL thread

Ky will be very unlucky not to make finals this year. They are the success story of 2005.

Ky are in with a chance for sure, i am a big wrap for them, but them making finals will be determined by if they can win at least one of their last two games against Seymour or Euroa.... and they have to get over tonny this week too!!!
 
Re: Official GVFL thread

Interesting article which is guess provides a harsh reality about where tongala sit at this point in time.

The move to the Murray League would provide the club with some more success however its ability to attract Melbourne based players will be tougher due to the increased travel times, Melbourne to Deniliquin for example.

The move to the KDL will provide the club with more success but then the desire for some of the top grade players to play in that legue would not be strong.

Peter White is a fantastic coach, his departure is a big one, however as he said in the article, the opening in the coaching position gives the club a chance to move forward in a different direction.

Tongala is a small town and to even be competitive needs to try and get some of its local players back to the club.

Here's my suggestion, Des Campbell to coach, Adam Brunt and Scott Hansen as his assistants. Des would bring back brad, blake and a Troy Snelson. With these additions and the retention of our our current list, we would be a much more competitive unit.

Some interesting stuff there Travvy. I've got a few friends out at Rushworth ith Scotty Hansen and they reckon he's a pretty good coach. Sensation fella as well. He was a very good player for Rochester.
 
Re: Official GVFL thread

Ondee thinks his got some status. i was doin work experience at the GV a couple of years ago when Rumba tried to get in again, they put together an approach in writing, which had a fair few flaws.

Eg. Facilities werent good enough, etc etc. Then after they put in their approach a representative failed to turn up to the general meeting where it was supposed to be discussed..........and they wonder why the don't get a shot at it.

Theres no way rumba will get into the GV. I may be wrong but IMO they wont get near it.....
 
Re: Official GVFL thread

I thought that Rumba had high quality facilities?? Has anyone played at their home ground?

Wont that be an away game to look forward to once a year.

Heard a goal umpire had to walk out halfway through a game a while back because he had spectators trying to jump the fence to belt him...

My club (Yea) played at Rumba recently in the middle of that rain period and the ground was in A1 nick. I'd reckon the surface is as good as you'll find throughout the area.

The Clayton brothers wouldn't come cheap. Grainger would be on a fair bit with his reputation.
 
Re: Official GVFL thread

Euroa get about 3 or 4 players on good money and have done so for years. They are far from a high paying club, relying on the higher paid players to attract friends, associates etc. They have a highquality base of local players in Thomson, Bamford (best small forward in the GVFL), Maher's, etc who are loyal to their club.

See Mansfield, Benalla, Shepp & Tatura for clubs who splash the cash.

I think people overestimate how much Benalla spend, it would be around the 80k - 100k mark, hardly huge proportions. Mansfield would be spending the most this season around the 200k+ mark i would think.

I was of the understanding that Tatura is the club that has the coin and they spend it up big. Here is a little info for you blokes, Tatura have already around 10 blokes signed sealed and delievered for next season (not litterally of course), players from O&M,WAFL,VFL and opposition teams, have heard from a descent source that there budget will be around the 200k marks for next season.

Funny how they have basically scraped the season so far and have thought they might as well start for next season already.

cheers

I believe your Black & White colours are now coming out Junkie to say Euroa is not spending the cash would appear far from the truth. Poor juniors or not putting time in is why you have to spend money

I agree, it would appear far from the truth because of their ladder position.
Tell me apart from S.Clayton, Grainger and Lamaro who would be demanding the big bucks? As ive stated previously they have had a lot of loyal players who have come through the junior ranks and they wouldn't be getting paid big money.

You are a total twit samtrish. The boys euroa have from melbourne are all good mates. grainger, gibson, mcbrien, sage, m.clayton, jansz and shelton all played at bullants together and were really good mates and wanted to play somewhere together. s.clayton and grainger went to school together. hyatt, howse and king played at bundoora together in the dvfl where gleeson formerly coached and played. get your facts right before stating things. not much money floating around the club. Just good mates wanting to play footy together.
