United have picked up a good recruit this season, a few out of the thirds will play seniors. The Hazelman's are back so don't write the dee's off yet.
2 finals spots are taken (Euroa + Mansfield) the rest will be up for grabs.

That is a rediculous statement. The eagles have lost Tranquilli, mensch and hulme. And i haven't heard anything about any others 100% staying other than trewhella.

I'd expect a slip from the top for the eagles in 06. If they made the finals considering the increase of potential to swans, tat, mooroopna, maybe even united. THe only team i would probably pencil in the finals is Euroa. But anything can happen, what happens if they get injuries, others will swamp on them.

Anyway, got my hands on the latest draw, few changes have been made. In fact, quite a few. Enjoy the read.

Hey Echucaboy, have you heard anything about Durie? I heard a rumour yesterday that he might be on the go.

And of course, there is the annual Rhys Archard rumour. I assume he will stick around and terrorise the comp again.

I heard Moama have been chasing Durie pretty hard, can't a see him leaving Echuca, I also heard Echuca are close to getting a couple of nathalia signatures including one of the gemmills, can anyone confirm this?

I'd have to agree with you there fbp. from what we have been told the eagles are by no means certainties to make the 6.

Re: Official GVFL thread

Looks like Karl Norman might not be moving to Mooroopna after all.

Bulldogs give wayward Blue training time
By Stephen Rielly
November 9, 2005

The Western Bulldogs have officially invited former Carlton defender Karl Norman to train with the club after coach Rodney Eade met the 22-year-old at Whitten Oval yesterday.

The Dogs spoke to Norman to establish his interest in continuing to play at AFL level, which was in doubt after he was delisted by Carlton four weeks ago.

Despite the impoverished state of their list, the Blues released the talented and tall backman in the wake of a string of indiscretions stretching back several years. He played 27 matches for the Blues over three years but was estranged from some senior players after being disciplined for attending training under the influence of the recreational drug ecstasy in 2004.

Eade said yesterday he did not offer Norman any commitment other than the opportunity to train in the lead-up to the national draft on November 26, although the club has declared its interest in recruiting a defender.

"We've made no secret of the fact we want a another backman, which is why we invited Brett Montgomery down and now Karl," Eade said. "We think Kasey Green is committed to someone, but we'll explore that avenue as well.

"With Karl, though, we're not sure that he will be available to us or sure of what position we'll be in to recruit him if he is available, but everyone knows he is a talent."
 
Re: Official GVFL thread

Very strong rumour that after nominating for the A.F.L. draft Essendon have asked Saad X 2 if he would come and do a pre season with them. Great news for the freak show and hope everything goes well for him. I am sure he will be a huge loss to the Lions in 2006.

Big call writing off the Lions so soon Sidey. Granted they'll find things tougher next year given they'll be the hunted every week, but there aren't going to be that many personnel changes that would spark a slide all the way out of the 6.

Not writing anyone off, all i'm saying is every team this year has an ok chance of making the 6.
I didn't know Mansfield lost a few but i can't see why Euroa won't make it with their list.
So it's not a 'rediculous statement'.

I wasn't the one that said it was ``rediculous'', old bean.
However, I struggle to see how Mansfield can be considered a better prospect of getting to the finals than Seymour.

Seems we are all pretty familiar with most inside info regarding most GVFL clubs, however 3 clubs I have hardly heard much about are Kyabram, Echuca and Shepp United. Don't suppose anyone has any idea what is going on with these clubs? Looks like 10 of the 12 GVFL clubs will be vying for a finals berth and will be stiff to miss out. The other 2 I think will miss out is Ky and United, but that is obviously cos I havnt heard much about them. Echuca, should be knocking on the finals door, theyr too good to stay down. Whats happening there Echuca boy, I think you mentioned 8 new players? Any Craig Sholl types? Looks like a very close, competitive season where anyone on their day could beat anyone! Can't wait for the season to start!!

Kyabram set to lose a couple key players including Chris Atkins (travelling overseas), Corey Carver (coaching Lancaster), maybe B&F winner Andrew Gill (melb for work??) and Heath Barnett depending on how much $$$ talks.
 
Re: Official GVFL thread

the word is that barnett will most likely be at kyabram next year. also heard from a guy today that sydney have asked paul newman to go up and train with them but he will probably stay. serrakowski might be following carver out to lancaster.

Davey to lead Lions' reserves

November 9 2005
Seymour Telegraph

Dual Seymour premiership player Ben Davey will be captaincoach of Seymour's reserves next year, replacing Andrew Jago, who has taken the side to the finals in the past two seasons.
"We are rapt to have someone with Ben's experience on board and look forward to a lot of local support for the reserves this coming season," Seymour Football Club president Paul Cox said last weekend.

"Ben is a true Seymour man and very popular amongst his peers and with his experience and leadership, should be able to lead the side into the finals yet again."

As has been the trend around Seymour in recent seasons, the cast of assistant coaches will also be quite formidable with Cox announcing he will be assisted off the ground by Gerard O'Sullivan, Mark Bender and Craig Zotti, who bring many years of playing and coaching experience to the brains trust.

This year was a huge year for Davey, becoming a Goulburn Valley Football League life member on the day of the second semifinal and a Seymour life member at the club's presentation night in October. He has played 199 senior games for the club and three league representative games.

Davey is also a dual premiership player, firstly as a teenager in 1991 and then as a veteran this year and has one more milestone to achieve when he runs out for his 200th senior game with the Lions at some stage next year.


For Davey, it will be his second coaching appointment, having previously coached St Mary's under-15s in 1994, also alongside Gerard O'Sullivan, and is looking forward to the challenge next year.


"I have been lucky to enjoy a bit of success with the seniors in the past couple of years and am looking forward to putting something back in with the local players and having a bit of fun," he said.

"I'll still be trying to play senior footy when I can and see this as the transition to the next stage of my career and am looking forward to the challenge."

Former Lion and a good friend of Davey's, Chris Martin, has taken on a similar role at Wodonga and has enjoyed some success with two premierships in a row and this is a good chance to keep the local side together as well as mount a serious challenge on the finals for the third year in a row.

Next year also represents the 20th anniversary of Seymour's last reserves flag and preseason training starts on November 23.

You forgot Seymour, the won the flag and with no news on comings and goings would presume they would make the finals before Mansfield would especially after losing Mensch

Must of been why they played off in the GF at Deakin a couple of months back. (If you dont know Mansfield are the eagles and wear gold and not magpie jumpers).

Hehe, well played.

Who do you follow in the GV, Maximum?
Click to expand...

I'd say he follows it pretty closely.

And sidey, please mate, i have talked some nonsense on this forum, but that comment just about takes the cake.

Mansfield will struggle to make finals next year, they will probably be very competitive at home as usual, may be the thing that scrapes them into the finals. But unless they win a large amount of their home games. I think they may miss out.
 
Re: Official GVFL thread

Rory Hilton big tip to go to the Magpies.

SAAD to train with Essendon..

How hopeful do u think Nagambie are.? Had a crack at Sage to Coach them..

I'm quite sure what they offered him he would get more than that at the Magpies just to play.. No harm in trying I suppose..

No harm in trying, though i think you will see Sage at Euroa next year, he will miss the first couple of games as he will be overseas. But by round 5 you will see him kicking the ball 70 meters straight to Grainger in the goal square.

Not sure on Hilton, but he has got some very close friends playing for Euroa.

SAAD'S SHOT AT BOMBERSBy Richard Goodbody

November 10 2005
Shepparton News


High-flying Seymour premiership hero Saad Saad could soon be landing at Windy Hill.
The mercurial superstar, who this year led Seymour to a euphoric Goulburn Valley Football League premiership, attended a meeting with Essendon officials late last night before donning the red and black training guernsey for a gruelling track session.

While the Bombers had not lodged Saad's paperwork with the AFL at the time of going to print, it is expected they will make a request today for the 22-year-old to join them on a regular basis ahead of the AFL National Draft on November 26.

Not surprisingly, the former VFL forward was delighted with the news yesterday.

"I'm rapt," Saad said.

"There's been no promises (about being drafted), but I'm in with a shot.

"I just want to put my best foot forward."

Over the years, Essendon coach Kevin Sheedy has shown a willingness to look outside of the circle when it comes to recruiting and managing players.

Dean Wallis, Courtney Johns and more recently Andrew Lovett are just some of the men Sheedy has invested his faith in before later being rewarded.

Taking the Lions' magician straight from the GVFL, however, could be a prospect that even Sheedy may baulk at.

But according to the man himself, he's one player the four-time premiership coach should punt on.

"I've still got a lot of good footy ahead of me," Saad said.

"I'm only 22 and Craig Bradley played until he was 39 and Nathan Buckley's still playing at 34, so there's no reason why I couldn't have a long career.

"I did a pre-season with them in 2002 and then got cut which was pretty disappointing, but now I've got a second chance."

After barnstorming his way into the GVFL, which included a bag of 11 goals against Rochester on debut, Saad delivered on his enormous potential by leading the Lions to premiership glory.

The small forward bagged 99 goals for the season, while electrifying the crowds with his sublime skills and aerial genius.

Saad has previously played with the Northern Bullants in the VFL.


SEE WHAT THE BOMBERS SAW

November 10 2005
Shepparton News

Essendon's approach to glamour Seymour forward Saad Saad did not happen by accident. While the former Northern Bullant is a player of enormous talent, Saad can also thank Seymour teammate Stuart Peterson for lending a helping hand.

After dominating the Goulburn Valley Football League Grand Final, not to mention the home and away season, Peterson compiled a DVD of Saad's finest moments before it was mailed to the AFL's 16 clubs.

After liking what it saw, Essendon recently invited the 22-year-old to join its training ranks.
