I imagine Rupo will be the benefit of some fantastic local product moving from the 18.5's up to senior level, the likes of Scanlon, Featon (Pending TAC games) , Cannolo, Franti-Glen, Crawford, Bailie, Castle, Caldone Jnr, Cicero Jnr all who have shown to be decent players in the 18's, all 1 pointers of course and most who will play for min chips on the whole scale of things.

Come on butterbing surely we can agree I did a great job at Romsey coaching back to back flags and I played the kids regardless of what I copped from "some" of the heirachy and I did it all for free. I was offered 200 a game to stay and unfortunately that lack of respect led to my departure. I went to broadford because a position arose a long time afterwards and I didn't want to be lost to footy so I took it. I will return to Romsey some day but hopefully there's been big changes before that happens

Not having a go at you at all, I think you are a very good coach and would come & watch the side where ever you coach. You know how to attract good quality players & makes football exciting. You did a fantastic job at Romsey & lifted them up to be a powerhouse side

Absolutely agree they need some experience on the field that can guide there talented young list. They are not far away from challenging the best. If they pick up the 4 players mentioned it could be a good year for Rupo
Funnily enough the change to help next September will start early November, last years summer was spent with game style, this year will b a lot different and involved plenty of fitness. Be prepared to c some fit sharks next year.
Tough nuts get Broadford a flag? No it didn't, fitness helps decision making and breeds a toughness, mind u tough is putting ur head over the ball, backing back into a pack, not the crap that most do to get sent off, that's not tough bro.
Are the 3 WRFL players from St Albans and are 2 ex Rupo players?

Can tell you this 2015 final against broadford and ruppo wasn't won with talent ruppo had it on all lines broadford had talent but hard nuts the game plan was to attack the ball and within the rules be physical and can tell you that's what won the game ... Finals are physical contest and most grounds there played on ain't expansive ovals except for lancefield would love to coach ruppo they have stacks talent but need a touch of the old bulldog to go the next step ...

Interesting reading that Putt might be heading to Rupo. He should go well in this comp but his very inconsistent. Definitely has talent but didn't set the world on fire for Keilor. Was serviceable at best, but for someone of his height just didn't seem to do enough. Watched a few of his games when he played VFL for Bendigo Gold some years ago, and he was pretty good for them.
I'm guessing he will be on good coin so hope you get value for money from him. This could be his issue, the pressure to perform constantly when your on good coin.
With regards to the Broadford comment, it will be interesting to see how he goes against big Philpot. Haven't watched the big fella for a few years, but he was a bloody good ruckman when at Marby Park.
Best of luck to both clubs heading into 2017 pre season..

i would play keep Jordan Braddy in the Ruck and play Putt deep forward at 200+cm there wouldn't be many sides who could match up on him. As long as the forward 50 entries are there I can see him kicking a few.
Interesting reading !

Don't wish to invade your forum boys, but Footy fan I think Putt is more suited to playing in the ruck as his very athletic or use his as a mobile CHF. I can't comment on this Braddy guy as I haven't seen him play. Not sure Putt is suited to a key forward playing out of the square. In the ruck his not accountable for a player "as such" so think that's his best spot as at times he look disinterested but think that's just his body language. At Keilor he played second fiddle to Browne and was only really used as a second ruck, which didn't suit him. He needs to be played as your main ruck IMO. If his up & about each week he will no doubt be a dominant player in rdfl.
Anyway enough from me on this player.
