Not bitter at all. Despite the rivalry between the two clubs I was more than glad to see our mates from across the road win it instead of another team, and Im sure most other Rovers supporters felt the same. And I was disgusted with the treatment that Hoppa got from the Nth Albury thugs as well. Needs to be made clear that I have no ill feeling towards the Maggies, they were deserved winners.

as were the pies boys about your 2's winners...shows depth in the rural city on wangaratta
 
Thunder confirm two signings
Posted Oct 18, 2007 - 13:02 PM


Peel Thunder has signed the older brother of West Coast’s Matt Rosa –Simon Rosa and Brendan Page for the 2008 season.

Rosa, a 25-year-old midfielder has been recruited from the Bendigo Bombers in the VFL. He captained the side and represented Victoria in their 119-point belting of WA earlier this year.

Page, 23, is a ruckman/key forward who has been recruited from Ovens and Murray League Club Lavington in North-East Victoria.

Peel Football Manager Steve Ashton also said the club was close to securing a colt’s coach after keen interest from local and east coast applicants.
 
Does anyone know what players from O & M are moving to ACT and if Julian F-arcus (x-Eastlake FC in Cbr) has been appointed to a coaching job at a Wodonga Club

Thought Page was lucky to be picked up...the two times we played Lavy he was ordinary. Speaking to a few Lavy people and they were saying that peel was rapt with his early season form, which subsequently got him an interleague position. Makes it even harder for Lavy next year, no Doherty or Page to ruck, and also loose the height and service of thier coach. Not sure about there list or who they are recruiting. Have they got any other height in the team ?And have they got any up-and-coming players that might take the next step up next season ?
 
Im not taking a shot at the maggies, just reflecting the opinions of some people at the club who mentioned it to me. As for Caruso and Pasquali, the fact that they were still running around is that they were still able to have an impact at the standard of footy that was being played. Just because of their age doesn't mean that they werent good enough. If there had of been kids who deserved to be playing instead of them two then Im sure they would have been. I could say they same about Carmody and Henry going on, at the ends of their careers but still good enough to warrant a game over some younger lads at the Magpies. Travellers from Rovers - Webb, Cristoforo, McIntyre, Silver, Nige Hill Travellers from Magpies - Trenfield, Pell, Lord, Clarke, Kirby, Hayse, Van Shaik, Cosgriff. Id say the maggies have just a few more.


Does Mick Caruso still have a run around with anyone??????

Nah Mick doesn't pull on the boots competitively any more as he is an assistant coach at the Rovers, but he is still pretty active at training and plays a part in pre season work which he outdoes a fair few of the boys in. Super fit and could probably still get a few kicks if he played.
 
Sure Did!! Bring on the Raiders.. About to sign 5 players from Willy! Get on the Raider wagon and see one of there favourite sons bring home Flag No. 2!! Chance of being 2nd favourite behind Nic "the Model" Conway, Won't beat him as favourite son!!! :thumbsu:


he didnt actually sign, along with about half the list. bit of a spring cleanout
 
karl norman to sign for wang rovers any one here that ??? for top dollars 2 $$$$$$ ? he apparently wants to move home again, would be a good pick up if he can jus keep his mind on playin footy !!!!

Apparently sick of carting grain sacks at one of Mooroopna's sponsor's outlets. Will be a good pick up for Rovers.
Now the Maggies just need Stevie Johnson back home from Geelong and the O & M can have a Rovers v Maggies G/F in '08.

was just wondering if anyone had any views on the treatmant of jon mcormick in the grand final. Thought it was a bit harsh but also thought that it must happen more than just on grand final day and to more people than just him. did watch the grand final and have a lot more respect for jon after seeing it, showed great character and for a bloke been targeted that much to just keep getting on with it and getting kicks everywhere shows why he is such a good player.

Jon gets that sort of treatment every week, he deals with it as good players do. By continuing to get up and get kicks at will. Good players deserve extra attention and the way the Magpies have sooked about it has taken a bit of gloss off their premiership. Why the O&M investigated it is behond me. Its a Joke. Maybe they want all the players in skirts next year.

Young Hop would be embarrassed at all the fuss. Simply a gun ball player who holds his head over the footy in the heaviest of traffic, racks up possessions and never complains about the hits.
All the goons who tried to take him out this year might want to have a look at his premiership and Morris Medal. If they fancy themselves as hard men there is an open invitation to pop down the Hume and chance their arm in the NFL (Diamond Valley).
 
it's easy to get on here and say a club has recruited well, but we all want to see names and then we can judge whether a team is heading north or south.
