Ovens & Murray discussion 2023

[Trent the flight Steward]

I wholeheartedly disagree.
I think Stevie j is more than smart enough to know communication is key.
He will do wonders for Yarrawongas young players.

He's not going to see many under 16 games when he's calling games in Melbourne for triple m

Big growing area, this puts weight behind the fact kids aren’t taken up the game anymore, it’s a battle against the iPads and computing consoles unfortunately. Back in my day we’d kick the pig skin from sun up till sun down, slept with the bloody thing, it’s a sad sign of the times.

Perhaps you could fill one of the vacancies at said struggling team? That way your conscience is clear, after all you wont be taking a young fellas spot in the side

 

[Fatsideswitch]

I do still recall vivid memories of TF struggling in the O&K reserves grand final against Tarra. Face was redder than the red wiggles skivvy.
Never played in a flag, only bought them

I think tennis fan might be early 50s so I'm not sure that would help.

Is there any chance the great kb on reflection could get you for one of his articles, it might get more views than walker, Hogan, filo and crezzas combined

 

[harsh. but fair]

Good point, but high profile coaches generally have more contacts when it comes to recruiting, which makes it an uneven playing field. Raiders busted the purse on Crezza, which would’ve been money well spent if they allowed him to go and get that one more player he wanted. He approached them mid year, had a high class mid lined up, and got told no more players.

If salary cap auditors were fair dinkum they could have had a field day with players coming in & out of raiders from Darwin, Sydney, in the years crezza coached Raiders. Interesting comment it was another mid he wanted, the guy didn’t get his head around big blokes are difference when it comes to real success in OM.

here Is a suggestion, CR throw kitchen sink at crezza in same way rovers did when they hit rock bottom after a winless year. Upside for him is he gets the chance to write himself into league Immortality by doing impossible and coaching a club on its knees back into fold, imagine the kudos if he got them into finals, let alone going deep. a grand final berth and flag are missing pieces on his resume in OM.

I think they'd be in the same position in 2 years time if they did that. Stick with Owen, target Melksham from the dees and use horse to lure Cunningham from the swans, you get those two as players, suddenly you find everyone comes back, there's a bit of excitement with the club

Tarra are struggling for numbers, so what do Wang do? Decide it’s the perfect time to get the band back together. Go and poach Milawa’s players. I’m ok with recruiting with in the same league but there are moral guidelines that teams should adhere to. Wangaratta are robbing a weaker neighbouring leagues of their senior players who have no chance of playing O&M senior footy, it’s wrong. Also I loathe it when Rovers players cross the road to line their pockets, we pride ourselves on loyalty.

Go back to tarras last flag in 2018 and tell me how many originally played at Wang Maggie’s you dodo.

 

[Rumourmill18]

and when you have done that then give yourself an uppercut

Id love to see something like this, but Corowa aren’t brave enough, they play it safe, which ironically, is partly what got them in to this mess. As much as I’m not a German fan, they did tie his hands a little and probably restricted what might have been. Crezza doesn’t get the recognition he deserves outside of the Raiders and Rovers camps. He gave Rovers more than just a pulse, he’s left the club in a position to seriously contend.

What’s your point? Tarra don’t owe the club a god damn thing.

And Wang don’t owe tarra anything so what’s your point?

How many O&K clubs are propped up by Wang junior comp?

I like the Melksham, Cunningham ideas. But the process of them coming on board is going to take until August, early September, given contractual talks, etc, what happens if one or both have season out of box and become senior regulars? The bloke I’d be going after is Ryan garthwaite who is back playing metro footy this season in Melbourne after stint in SA.

I’d like to think I played a small part in some of the framed memory’s upon the walls, I wasn’t the greatest player, but I loved the game all the same.

Where is Garthwaite playing and how good to have that bloke on ignore

 

[that was out of bounds]

Montrose but trying to get a punting gig in the US

 

[TennisFan76]

And Wang don’t owe tarra anything so what’s your point?

The dog eat dog mentality is destroying clubs off the field, the aim is to win premierships, enjoy each others company, throw some banter, that’s what it’s all about, but to pilfer from a lower league for the hell of it is reflective of that clubs moral compass.

Did your picture even grace the walls of what is now known as glenrowans “bushfire place of last resort?”

I even wonder if no. 22 was ever retired immediately after your failed attempt playing out of full forward that day. Give me Boothy any day, at least he is graceful in defeat and knows when to call it

Everyone can dream. But it’s going to take plenty of things done right to get those two players back. I’m all for the club to have a crack and maybe this is where they need to sit down with the league and the AFL

Maybe they need to be paid outside the salary cap. Cause to be honest.
They are going to need to be paid overs to get them to not only play but live in the area to attract others both short and long term.

Why are you ignoring Garthwaite? I thought you were a Corowa man.

I’m tipping both Garthwaite and Melksham would be high on the wish list.
Landing one let alone both would be an amazing feat.
Probably be a good time to announce yes we are or no we aren’t with Owen for next year.
let Him start making the calls and start the process early on

President said on TripleM rush hour last week that they are going with Owen next year

It was also reported that Owen will be in charge of keeping in contact with all of the leased out players, he said he’d keep a keen eye and get to some games, you aren’t doing that just to be shuffled on. Years ago a handshake was all that was needed, you look at Karl Norman, had every club in the region stalking him, it was only ever a choice between two clubs, his word held weight. Let’s see which players pass the character test, if they care for the club they should feel obliged.

Hey TF considering you’re so invested in the Rovers I’m a little surprised they didn’t go after Jack Yelland ? His old men is an legend at the rovers an his uncle wasn’t a bad player as well ,
