Re: Official GVFL thread

Having talked to a fair few O&M blokes that didn't play there concern was playing so many games in a weekend, its just like that AFL's lightning cup, that was a glorified piece of crap.

Hopefully the higher ups will realise that its not working and change back to the old format or work something out.

It has to be promoted more,glorified, make players want to take part. All leagues need to look at where there money is spent. Up here it is spent on new blazers and accomodation for the hangers on(admin. See league photo's).

The lightening premiership in 1996 was only an extra money-spinner during the centenary year, not necessarily a glorified piece of crap. However, I do agree the current I/L system is flawed.

Oh of course that works for everybody, i would love to see a battle with full strength sides, but i was seriously disapointed with the amount of GV players that didnt want to do it. About 10-15 Players would be changed

When Mark Harrap's in your interleague squad, you have serious concerns. A good player, but when the O and M blokes who had played against him when at Corowa-Rutherglen came up against him they would have been rubbing their hands together.

Better ruckman...Porter, Jones, Schottner, Kirby, Brennan, Cowman (hurts to say), Sutherland, Van Schaik, Saunders, Clarke...any I've missed?

sorry p69, this post isn't very clear. which players are you suggesting are overrated??
 
Re: Official GVFL thread

FTB & P69
Have you ever rucked against any of these blokes?
you've mentioned all these names who can play the game but where were they on the weekend? Harrap is a acception tap ruckman whos come back from 2 knee reco and is finally getting fit. Hes playing good footy for shepp hence why he was included by the GVFL coaching staff. They must think he can play!!
Why say Porter, Jones, Cowman?? these guys are injured.... didnt brennan play?
You are judging the others on their name. Their form to date hasnt been good enough be included.

"Abuse those blokes who didnt play not the blokes who did! These players derserve respect cos they did. They didnt make up excuess, they didnt say they couldnt be bothered. These guy have got the heart to represent the GV. These people cared and dont deserved this crap from arm chair critics!!!!:mad:
 
Re: Official GVFL thread

Is Eric Bottom out there?
I wonder how he is feeling about the GV almost being relegated.
Perhaps he could also come clean on the missing Ash-Wilson Trophy.
 
Re: Official GVFL thread

Also other ruckmans are Shane Schottner (not sure if he is still around though) and Karl Norman
 
Re: Official GVFL thread

Given Karl Norman didn't play for Mooroopna the week previously, I'd suspect he was injured.

1/ I don't believe I abused Marc at all...I know him well enough that even he would admit there are better ruckman in the competition than him. I reckon he would have been about 10th choice if not for the others.

2/ Brennan was injured, carrying a hamstring.

3/ The format is heck e d anyway. The last real country championship was played in 2003. As I've said before, it's Micky Mouse...a cop out from the VCFL and those who agreed to it.

well said. however, I would say that some players were legitimately injured and couldn't play as a result. other muppets like heath aitken and chris mccarty probably consider themselves too good for inters and make up random excuses to get out of it.

Was he injured, or was he dropped for disciplinary reasons.

Honestly dont know. Though given he's on the record as saying that his getting in trouble was a real wake up call for him, I'd doubt discipline would have been an issue.
 
Re: Official GVFL thread

Ballarat wins the division 1 championships when they were supposed to be playing in Division 2 but only came up because Geelong pulled out.. Then the GVFL who won the comp last year has to win their final game to not be relegated.. Is this a joke? The whole system seems stuffed to me! Bring back the full game and if the so called marque players don't play then fine them!

Good point, it is a hard thing to judge. I've spoken to a couple of players who were selected in the squad that are on a quid at their respective clubs and don't want to let their club down by chance of incurring an injury in the league games. Do they get paid enough money for interleague games? Do they get paid at all? Many players can easily get away with saying that they have a niggly injury when the selection process arrives. How do you adjudicate this?

As having played against the Harrop this year, he played very well against us and by all reports has been pretty consistent during the the other 3 weeks of the season so far. He obviously deserved his spot otherwise they would not have choosen him in the squad, so he must have been doing something right?? maybe you should have a go at the coaching staff of the Golburn Valley for picking him, if you think he is that bad of a ruckmam
 
Re: Official GVFL thread

I watched the GV play Ovens and Murray and I would of had Marc Harrap in the best few players for the GV. Him and Lee Warnett were about the only 2 players to have a crack for GV in what was a pathetic display! Didn't see the other 2 games but I thought Harrap deserved his opportunity and made the most of the limited opportunities he was given. S h i t form by those people to get on here and get stuck into him without even watching any of the carnival!

well said lollies, people get on here and bagg the :D:D:D:D out of players, when in actual fact they didn't even see that person play. i was at the carnival on the weekend and i too think he acyually held his own out on the field, with the limited time he did get. and knowing marc im sure he was 100% commited to the side and the gv jumper he was wearing..

Hey Tige, you still out there? Heard you hadn't been seen at Tat for a couple of weeks then I had a look on the transfers list and what a surprise you have put a clearance to join Westmeadows. You certainly don't stay in the 1 place for long do you?? How come you are abandoning Tat when as you said they were such a 'good bunch of blokes'??
