Symes’ injury forces Saints to experiment
BY ROB HARRIS
BENALLA will be without key forward Ricky Symes for up to a month after the century goal kicker under goes arthroscopic surgery this week.
Symes, who booted seven goals in the Saints opening round win against Mansfield, won’t be lining up for the match of the round against reigning premier Seymour in the second round of the Goulburn Valley Football League this weekend.
Coach Jason MacFarlane said the short absence of his star forward would help the club discover what other options it had up forward.
“The plan at the moment is that Ricky will be back against Shepp in round four because it’s only a bit of a clean out that really hasn’t got much better over the pre-season,” MacFarlane said.
“It’s certainly going to give us some other options because Mark Porter, Brett Vallender and of course Mark Mackenzie have all played at full-forward before and they’re more than capable.
“Having said that against a team like Seymour there isn’t much room to experiment and they’re certainly going to be up and running after a tough game last week.”
MacFarlane said the club had plenty of improvement left after a scrappy and tough tussle against Mansfield last week.
Mansfield has the chance to bounce back when it takes on Kyabram at home, while the ever-reliable Rochester will have its work cut out when it takes Euroa at Rochester.
An ever-improving Tatura locks horns with Echuca, while Shepparton United plays host to a talented Mooroopna line-up which consists of ex-AFL players Karl Norman, Blake Campbell and Derek Hall.

Re: Official GVFL thread
Didn't catch the game, but I heard the standard was pretty good and it was pretty close up until the last quarter.
For Rochy, interleague ruckman Sam Brennan went off in the 1st quarter with a hammy and will probably miss a few weeks. The Bendigo boys were pretty good with Elliott Bowen very impressive, as was Daniel Schmidt and Russell Weekley.
With Euroa and Seymour in the next two weeks, Rochy could be trouble pretty early and I'm not sure if they have the players to make the finals. Time will tell, but it's a pretty young list.
Didn't hear much about Echuca, but I heard that Maddox was very good, as was Durie and the new recruit, White. He looks like a massive unit.
ECHUCABOY said:Boys boys boys, no input from blokes from other sides......Where have all the Rochy boys got to..............very very quiet mob of blokes at the moment....
Was very impressed with Echuca on the weekend, for what I saw of the game.......The mammoth Stephen White would have to have the best leg in the gvfl, woowee can he kick the footy.
The boys are looking good at the moment, hopefully not too many injuries and they'll be in the mix.
Cheers. Well done to the lions, You Euroa trash just aren't good enough....

Re: Official GVFL thread
The standard was good up untill half time, thats when the wind really picked up and both sides turned the ball over regularly. Brennan is a huge lose 4 rochy and once he went off the tigers had 2 stuff around with their structure with CHF kahl oliver going into the ruck with a bit of sucsess. Echuca's pressure was good in the rochy kick in's turning over and goaling numerous times. The big fella white was a stand out for echuca, he's a massive massive man and rochy really had trouble taming him.

Re: Official GVFL thread
Yeah I heard that Archard is carving it up in the SANFL. Boy can that kid play!
I also see that young Ben Wilson kicked 2 goals for North Beach over in Perth.
Anyone else have any news on the players that have left the GVFL?

Re: Official GVFL thread
Thanks for the concern Fatty, but I've actually got to thank The Whip. Although leaving me feeling like Rick Disneck ("I crushed my larynx") for a few seconds, his David Rhys-Jones special has added a degree of huskiness to my dulcet tones that is driving the princess wild. So thanks Mr Whippy.
In other news, word out of Seymour town is that laconic Seymour Magoos defender Glen Dowling had an encounter with the hairdresser's scissors during the week...why oh why would he do such a thing after playing arguably his best game in 2 years last week against the Maggies?

What happened Rick did you blow a sandshoe or did u just F#*K Up?
Maybe #1 Joffa had a snip this week also . . . .I swear young Sadie was a dead ringer for Joffa last Satdy with the long sleever and the way he moved round the park. Has Benny and his crew come to their senses and picked you on the ground after a big final term last week?

Re: Official GVFL thread
A few of the boys from the riverina went down to the pies lions game on sat. They were impressed with the whole thing, but even more impressed with saad saad. They were wondering why he did not make the AFL.Flat Track Bully said:

Re: Official GVFL thread
There's a reason why he didn't make AFL....his doesn't chase, he can only play forward and has no defensive skills, there your answer head67.

Re: Official GVFL thread
Speaking of Saturday at Memorial Oval, who was the big bloke spotted in the Lions rooms before the game. He had an uncanny resemblance to the person handing out SDCA A Grade Grand Final medals a few weeks back at Avenel and was a dead ringer for the bloke who sat in Yea's time keepers box last season. Though I'm not quite sure of his name.
What's his role at Seymour, if any of the Pride know?
I think he works at Nestle. Maybe Doon can confirm that this is the fella that had a connection with the Tiges last season.

Re: Official GVFL thread
In any case - so what if you think he can only play forward. The bulk of players recruited to AFL are picked with a certain role in mind. Do you think Jeff Farmer was originally drafted by Melbourne (then Freo) to be a full back or play permanently on ball?
If anything, Saad didn't get drafted because he's possibly too small for what AFL clubs are looking for, as well as the fact that his work rate would be below the expectations of that level of footy.
Very naive post there Webster. I dont know too many forwards who are good at chasing, and aside from that I believe Saad played predominantly as an onballer at the bullants.M.WEBBER said:

Not commenting on Saad (he's an exceptional player, very, very quick reflexes) but most AFL forwards will chase pretty hard.

Re: Official GVFL thread
Just went and asked around at work and turns out our (Yea) timekeeper from 2005 has sacked us and jumped onboard and got a membership at Seymour coz he reckon's they're a better chance of flag than Yea . . . . . faiweather supporter if ya ask me!!! Reckon's he'll be back when Saad Saad and joey Amad leave and says they're good blokes coz he was talking to them in the rooms b4 the big Euroa clash.
no official role but desperate to try and grab the number 1 fan's title at Kings Park.
His name by the way is Stewie Crockett . . . . guess Yea's loss is a big gain for the lions!!!

Re: Official GVFL thread
Duff man, fair call. I have seen the boy play keep in mind most league footballers can play in a range of positions, that why they are drafted and listed players.
Also keep in mind he played Forward line at the bullants and when he did play senoirs there, it was off the bench in rotation. Saad can play, just not good enough to take that next step.
In regards to Farmer, well where do l started....his special!

Re: Official GVFL thread
Yeah heard the lions had a problem on saturday as they went to head out onto the ground. Seems they found the doors to the change rooms were blocked by a big oath of a man! They didn't panic tho and proceded out the side door!
