Damn it... There must have been a leak of information...
I will have to announce it now then.
I would like to announce that after exhaustive attempts and deep contract negotiations, the Sunbury Kangaroos have employed a new Under 18's assistant coach, a man that has an extensive knowledge of local football and will become my new eyes and ears come this Saturday morning at Gilbert Gordon.
I am extremely pleased to announce OMNI as the SKFC Under 18's assistant coach for the remainder of 2007.
Both Sims and Ruane were injured in the first half of the year, hence why the came 4th and 5th. With your thought on rooza, last year when he won the Bowen, no one new who he was except for his hair. This year he he highly rated and he was good enough to continue his good form, after the injury of course. This yeah he has played all positions of the field, which is an awesome thing to do, he played full back, CHB, centre, chf and full foward aswell sa on the ball and he has also won the goal kicking. I believe personally he has has an alround better year. Jeremy Jose although he is highly rated, people come to expect alot from him. He pretty much is an onballer who rucks also. Truly deserves first. Was also great to see Jeff get some credit coming 2nd, good return after a life threatning accident last year.
Very good point.. Ricky should definitely be in the side, as for Crimmins, I seen him ruck in the interleague game Im sure.. But Jay Boyle could easily go into the ruck and push Crimmins to CHF.
Yes I can confirm that I have been approached to assist the mighty Kanga 18s in their finals quest for 2007. Let me say that it is an absolute honor to get the opportunity to lend a hand to the great man at such a close proximity & relish the chance to bask in his impending glory !
Anything to get the boy to roo land.
You nailed the problem right here burraz. Now I know a lot of people at Diggers Rest think I don't like them. But that's not the case. I'm a big fan of many of the Burra players, I just think they could be performing much better.
Last year they enjoyed pretty much a golden run with injuries, except of course with Heritage. The midfield still fired, Payney kicked goals and the backline was strong under pressure. Obviously not having Jose, Walshe and Hoare for the GF made life tough. But the main problem was in front of the big sticks. There was a reliance on Payne to do the bulk of the goalscoring, with Arnel Davis as a crumber and on-ballers floating forward. Now that's not such a bad thing if your full forward is a gun like Werner or James (Aaron or Lee). But Chris wasn't, not that it is his fault.
Over the summer, you guys barely recruited, while the rest of the competition topped up. Kangaroos picked up Bonnici and later Cuffe; Romsey got back Connellan, Edwards, Nettlebeck; Woodend-Hesket recruited Sipthorp, Salpietro, Donovan, Bowen; Riddell got Leigh Coles and a heap of Under 18s. Half-way through the year you got a handy forward flanker in Kris Marsh, who will be a good contributor in this year's finals series (for your sake I hope its a series and not a final), but I think you guys expected it to happen again. Not individually, but as a group.
Now I rate Ruane, both as a player and as a bloke. He could become a very handy forward for Diggers Rest. But he doesn't have a lot of support up forward and that's where I think the Burra fall away slightly. Look at some of the forward lines in this competition:
Woodend - Barker, Dowling, Sipthorp, Salpietro, Forrest.
Riddell - Mick Allen, Besanko, Wadden, Harrison, Petran.
Romsey - Morgan, Burlak, AJ, Dawson, Richmond, Baker.
These forward lines can turn a game in 10 minutes. There is no doubting that your midfield/ruck combination is as good as any, but if they don't have a lot to kick to it makes life easy for the opposition's defence. Just about all the premiership sides I can remember in modern RDFL history have had pretty potent forward lines. Of the top six sides, Diggers Rest scored 168 points less than the second worst Romsey, and a whopping 611 less than the best in Riddell. The fact that you had the third least amount of points kicked against you not only suggests you have a very solid backline, but it also says to me that your midfielders work back to create pressure on the ball carrier.
Once again, I'm not trying to make a personal vendetta against Diggers Rest. I get along well with a lot of guys down at the Burra. But as a football observer, I think you need to recruit a key forward over the summer to really capitalise on your strong midfield. They don't grow on trees and come at a price, but as Lee James proved, they can be worth their weight in gold.
Good luck on Saturday.

hey guys just wondering how u get gernsey to trhe bowen medal night and if the "invites" have been sent yet?
many people going???
we got our appointment last night mate
The invites have gone out. If you are a chance of winning something, they invite you. You can contact your club and they should be able to get you a ticket. That's the only way Harry gets a guernsey!! I think the price is around $60.00. Well worth it though, it's a great night, with plenty of beverages to be consumed. There will be plenty of Big Footy Celebs ther also. I'm just going to walk around saying alias's all night and see who reacts, then I can finally start putting some names to faces.
