Re: Piccola District football league

are picola thirds any good this year. i think we play them in a praccy soon.
Dunno about the thirds but saw on Murray league site that John Walker is apparently playing back at Picola this year. Anyone know if thats right. Huge get for the club and the league if correct.Good to see some young fellas around who remember where they came from even if it might only be for a year or two.
 
Re: Piccola District football league

Berrigan's not, I think we are playing Finley and Mul in praccy matches this year.


A couple of good hitouts you have there Magic. Who's coach Berrigan this year?

Also you would know more than everyone one else, how is Jerrilderie going to go in this league??
 
Re: Piccola District football league

Still a lot of talk about them folding. It doesn't look good, minimal numbers at training. A lot of their players though, won't train until the season has nearly started. PTF would know more, but its' not looking very flash.
Can not help you herb, have not trained with the club, and would suggest you have had more discussions since last seasons end, how's your pre - season going ??
From what I have heard most of the regular , reliable senior players are right to go again ????

That is true, Walker is suiting up for his home club in 2008, will be a standout in the Picola league, last game he played was on the G GF day where he got Best on in a losing side.

Dale Alderton is Coaching Berrigan This year, very well respected by all.
I missed it, but Jerilderie's Coach (former berrigan coach Barry Roe) was on the box last night talking up there chances. was told at our training by one of the boys that know him well that they are only getting single digits to training.
With the start date of the season being pushed back to the 12th we will play our round 15 match againts them on the 5th, something that both clubs wanted.
 
Re: Piccola District football league

Was recently speaking to AFL draftee, re expections put upon them and tried to do a bit of research to consider whether some self inflicted prices placed on PDFL players were extreme.
I admit some of these figures are very broad however here goes.
AFL players on average, including rookies, get around $ 70 ,000 per annum and are on call 24-7, 12 months a year and get scrutinised nationally, and from what I'm told average around 40 hours a week, either training, travelling to play, re-hab, media and club promotion over 44 weeks a year.
Thats a taxable hourly rate of around $ 40 an hour.
Most player payments in the country are cash, to avoid the 46 odd % tax for a second job, therefore if taxed would be nearly halfed.
AFL average $ 40 taxable or $ 21.60 cash.
In comparsion, I suggest a contracted PDFL player would be expected to do around 8hrs.
Maybe some that have not even looked like being decent major country league footballers have got big heads and no thought for what they are doing, or I can't add up.
But it just does not seem to make sense, that clubs with such small money earning capacity in relation to the AFL clubs, are paying such high prices for players that would not get a game in Murray League and are extremely less talented than those that are getting paid less, per hour, in the AFL ???
Yet we wonder why country clubs are struggling.

True Blue to stay home


Tom Biddington

Picola United has retained the services of former Murray Bushrangers star John Walker.
It's a big coup for the club, which was almost resigned to fact the talented 19-year-old would be playing with a VFL or major league club this year.
Those offers came in thick and fast, but in the end Walker wanted to play with the Blues, the club where he played his junior footy, and Picola United coach Matt Daniel couldn't be happier.
``He decided he wanted to stay and play with his mates,'' Daniel said.
``It's great for the club and it's really lifted the morale of everyone around the club.''
Walker was best afield for the Bushrangers in their TAC Cup grand final loss last year, with the performance catching the eye of the Kangaroos, who invited him down to train with the club in the lead-up to the AFL draft.
But once Walker was overlooked, clubs like Werribee, Shepparton and Shepparton United came calling.
At 194cm and about 90kg, Walker is a nightmare to match up on, with the Bushrangers exploiting that versatility by using him as a key forward, key defender and even utilising his athleticism on the wing at times.
It's a problem Daniel is pleased to have.
``I will use him everywhere,'' he said.
``When he played with us a few years ago he played centre half-back and stood out.
``He's very creative, but he'll just go wherever we need him at the time.''
The signing of Walker has helped soften the blow of Picola United losing another promising player in Alistair Corry to Nathalia.
Corry won the PDFL's Rising Star award last year and finished second in the Blues' best and fairest.
``He's just decided to go over and see how he goes,'' Daniel said.
``I think he's the biggest loss, but we're also going to be without Adam Brunt, Travis Johnstone and Russ Myers from last year. ``But training has been pretty good so far, we've had 20-25 on the track every night and we're hopeful of getting a spot in the eight.''
