[dons08]

Good get for the Roos if true. Looks like the new coach is making his mark already.

to old to slow they can have him

Thanks for that mate, here I am thinking I was getting quicker, must just be the backman getting slower? Still got a few more years in my legs champ.

How did you pull up after the fall in between races at the cranbourne cup on sunday champ. You and the guy who,s back you were on looked like you had the chocolates until you went ass up

Too old, too slow and the reigning league goal kicking medallist, I am sure the Kangaroos are more than pleased with you letting them "have him"....

Has that Fenton who played a few games with Centrals early in the year also signed at Roos? Who would play full forward? Roos are recruiting well at the moment. Will there be any room for players like Welshy.. as have heard he has got a few offers from around the traps

Also heard the Fenton rumour. Played about 7 games at Centrals and kicked about 20. Left about Round 9 and went to Deer Park in the WRFL divi 2 comp and played in a premiership side. Smart move.

Meacham and Fenton sharing a forward line would be hard to stop. Both are at least 3 goals a game players and can kick a bag when in good touch.

With all these rumoured recruits the paddock should be full of blokes pushing for a spot in the 1's. Makes for a more competitive club I reckon.

Better join the roos for 2010 flag campaign before the bandwagon gets over crowded.

With all those recruits, you'd think Deano would get itchy feet to coach and play in a flag next year as well?? How old would he be 31-32 tops?? Should have a go if he still can!

Not sure you can say that about the bloke who topped the league goal kicking???

very itchy feet bomber.havent ruled it out

if the body can hold up why not give it a go.you're a long time retired,Supercat.
Just make sure you get youself some decent assistant coaches,cause its bloody hard to play and coach if you have someone on the sidelines giving totally different messages and making different moves to what you would.

goodluck with it mate. Just remember to enjoy yourself.

 

[HOTPIES20]

I actually heard that an umpire this year said to a player "You would've got a lot more votes this year if you'd been a bit more friendly with the umpires"..

So obviously you can't heed too much notice of the Bowen Medal votes!!

i'll back you on that one. yak was told the same thing.? it doesn't hurt to ask the question to an umpire now n then but they do judge you on your attitude on the day

yeah it is hard. personaly i think the days of a playing coach are gone
to much of a distraction when on da ground and trying to make moves. to much tension between the coach and assistant coach when one is on and the other is off both would have to have the same knowledge of the players around them and opposition true or not? i'''m a current player who try's to help out a new playing coach but he wont listen.

 

[headshot]

Some news just in via pigeon carrier in Mount Isa.

Garry Moorcroft WILL NOT be playing at Romsey in 2010.

Asked for $2000 to play in the grand final for the Redbacks and understandably the club was not at all happy. He only stayed with the boys until 8pm on GF night as well and didn't join in on mad Monday celebrations.

The $2K thing sounded ridiculous to me when I first heard but since then two club officials have confirmed it.

Secondly, big Al Meldrum, after coaching the Heathcote Saints to this year's HDFL premiership, is all but signed, sealed and delivered as an assistant coach at the Cattery for 2010.

Brendan Lee will remain in the top job, but the Cats have brought in the perfect cover should results not go as expected early in the season. That is unlikely to happen though as the bank account is overflowing at Tony Clarke Oval and they are looking to bring in the cavalry to ensure they go a few steps better next season.

Been told a ranga from Heathcote is in the mix to make the shift, but gun red-headed ruckman/forward Lech Featherstone is likely to play in Melbourne next year, leaving Matt Waters or Tom Tobin as the likely candidates. Both handy footballers.

The usual suspect in James Climas is also being scouted, although the price may be a little high for the Cats. However, they'll have to be quick. Sunbury Kangaroos offered $2000 sign-on plus $400 per game and Riddell $1000 and $300 per game.

Speaking of Robbos, former Kilmore star and Matt Nicholls hero Matt Robertson is being chased heavily by Broadford for season 2010. The Roos are also looking at securing former Assumption star forward Maddison Hardiman.

Tom Waters has once again been offered extremely good money by several big league clubs and will be hard to keep a hold of. Expect a few players from the Tigers' premiership team to be gone next year through retirement or other circumstances, but I believe they are trying to lure Shane Page from Kyneton (very rough hope of being drafted).

You would imagine Page would try and have a crack at VFL, most likely through Bendigo or Coburg next year, but I think if he doesn't, Lancefield are in the lead for his services.

That's all for now, pigeon couldn't carry much mail this time.

Wrong . Would not be two club officials at Romsey that would even talk to you . Its great news for Romsey and the RDFL that Garrrrrrrrrrry is back next year

Al is on 1 leg for the year,his father would b fitter than him at the moment he walks a few laps every match day

Matt Waters is to old,he would b better of looking after his trotter

Tom Tobin he is on his last legs,he would b better of going fishing

So while the Money is getting dished out at the cats Big Ump is available Iam in the low 50's a left foot kick good mark,Iam rated in the top 3 bench warmers in the HDFL

Gday mate, great news for Romsey signing Gary, might stop the inuendo and all the knockers, not only good for Romsey but great for the RDFL.

gday pal yeah it is good news also s.green will b back. both signings are a big plus for the club in 2010 not only can they play hard and smart footy but also good around the club with the young kids coming thru the ranks.

Is Adam playing?

 

[Archie Bull]

Read in the local paper up here the Wallan Football/Netball Club have had a little player revolt. They have overthrown the president, Neal Langborne at the A.G.M. The new president is Matt Whiteside. He was one of their trainers in 09. Do the players really have faith in a 21 year old running their club or is it a plan to turn Wallan back into what it use to be? Lets hope he and the players don't turn it into a constant party or they will have more trouble than they can handle. Maybe they didn't think it through or didn't have a better option for someone to run for president.

The players must have faith or they wouldnt have put his name up for president.

Not a bad debut posting there Archie - was it really a "coup" as you suggest or did Neal not stand for re-election? I doubt very much a bloke like Peddo would align himself and coach a playing group of party boys who aint in it to be the best they possibly can so Im sure the playing side of things will stand-up. The hard work for footy clubs behind the scenes is always done between Sept and say Feb (list management, recruiting, sponsors, members etc etc), so this is where at times fresh blood can find it difficult to get up and about.

In saying that we have our AGM this coming week, and I reckon every year for the past 10 there's been whispers of "takeovers" so it will be interesting to see how it pans out. Lets be honest the best run clubs are united on all fronts, personalities are put aside with everyone on the one page and pulling in the same direction ....... maybe that explains why our local clubs (Broadford, Kilmore & Wallan) have fallen short at senior level in recent times

Either way it's always good to see the local Mitchell Shire teams faring well, so hopefully they can all pull their fingers out and push hard at getting back up the ladder

Bold move. Without knowing anything about Matt, I will be interested to see how it goes...mainly due to his age.

I often wonder if the majority of players at any club realise what actually goes into running a club (rightly their focus is training and playing...and in some respects like children thinking the money just comes from the ATM, and that is how the off-field team should make it). Thus I wonder if the large reported player vote which got him over the line thinks along these lines....sees the bigger picture required for the job?

Good luck to Matt, it will be a big job and hope the players support him as much as they can after getting him the post.

 

[HOTPIES20]

not sure pal i think it might be better for him to stay on the sidelines. but if he decides to play he'll have to put in a bit more at training for fitness. that also goes for all us old fellas to catch up with the young boys comin thru.
