What about the Saints picking up Craig Hutchison as number 1 ticket holder. You would think that he will give not only the club, but the league a bit of coverage.

Batch is having problems with his finger. He injured it during last season and some knobhead doctor told him there was nothing wrong with it. After the season he went and saw another doctor turns out it was slightly dislocated and he had played the rest of the season with Dilocated finger. He's has to get surgery on it to put it back because its been sitting on the side of the middle knuckle for too long.Yeah, Scotty Bachelor has osteo arthritis and needs to drink more milk at his age..he could break a hip.
This is what a workmate of his told me.

Patrick O'Meara is still reading the Dummies guide to Australian Rules Football. He knows nothing of the game and is a poor reporter. He also makes things up as well as changing and bending his phone interviews. IMO Megan Husthwaite did a really good job and i think Noodles macfarlane thinks so to.
I would rather read Bullsh"t on Bigfooty then read your articles O'Meara.

Think jordy burke is the bloke your talking about, has a serious back injury and could struggle to suit up this season.

Where you been Slenko? Maybe getting a little carried away with Jordy Burke. He's got two bruised heels after a slight tumble off a roof collecting a stray footy (pissed). Still looks a bit ****y walking around on his tippy toes but should be right in a few weeks.
Hi PP
Been a fraction busy. Working long hours. My info suggests Jordy has more serious problems whilst another leading player has been told to rest for at least 5 weeks or risk some permanent damage. That's football though. How many footballers have been told by medical staff to give up footy?
If they all listened we would not have footy forums like this one.

That was a predicted best line up I agree as does most of the team that it was a pretty poor team even for a predicted one. People were playing out of positions all over the joint.

This could be why I only saw about 8 or 9 senior players at training the other day. Bruce Hardigan also says that junior numbers are way down.
Could the Titanic be starting to crack before sinking??
About a month ago the city oval looked fantastic. Since then the basin where the water is drawn from has gone dry. It may just be holding up as the weather has cooled of.
Not sure it will handle being trained on 4 nights a week and being played on 2 days on the weekend. Also not fair if United and Horsham are made train else where so that it can be played on twice on weekend. These clubs pay big money to be there and should be allowed to train there and not incur additional cost of alternative training venue.
If we get a wet winter though no hope.

Gold. I can't wait to get my daily fix of volleyball updates.
Easier for Mr O'Meara to trawl Bigfooty than do some proper journalism. Mail-Times should stick to trying to undermine this country's democratic foundations through picking councillors before elections.
North Park has probably one of the better playing surfaces in the area, but no that will not happen. They have their social rooms at city oval that is their base. I could not imagine them accepting such a move, even it be for training purposes only.

Hearing talk that the Rats GM has quit after a heated blue with Pres Jensan. Argument about NT recruits maybe?

Coming from a battler in a lowly district league side that has never had the guts to try wimmera league??? I don't know how you keep that giant ego in such a small frame.

Can't speak for seniors(I'm shit) but in the seconds, there really isn't that big a difference in quality from LPFL seconds to WFL seconds-this "Mighty Wimmera League" mentality is just head up your arse mentality

No the bottom few in the wimmera are not really that much better then lexton league but when you see the top few teams playing a better brand of footy than some cashed up district teams. It shows the large difference in depth between district and major leagues.

Just been looking at the clearances page on the WFL website, wondering what sort of a player Dan Smith is from Kalkee?

Big ruckman, moves as well on the ground as he does on the dance floor... Can play well above his average, as he has proved with his current better half.

As I said, I'm rubbish and will never play seniors, but there is also a view that WFL seconds is above LPFL seniors (minority view). THis is utter rubbish. Take your word on the ones though-seen much LPFL?
Not according to The Mail Times he said he dosn't know where that rumor came from he saw it on big footy forum so unless The Eagles finish last for a a season or 2 that be the only excuse of sacking a coach not when they made the finals in his first year .
