Wasn't painful at the time and the arm seemed to be on the mend. It was infected the week before the Granny and the scar split open on the morning of the GF so i figured there wasn't much I could about it then. I had a guard made up to protect the bone and it did its job well.

The infection spread after the GF and now they are trying to get rid of it. Have removed the plate and screws and removed the infected bone leaving a nice gap there.

Possible bone graft once the infection has been cleared.

All the operations are trying to clean out the bone and the wound of the infection. Its a pain in the butt.

Re:Merbein premiers 2008-009

G'day new guy on this thing! I know of some of you! I follow Merbeinfc pretty closely and was hoping Walder and Spivey would go back and play a couple of years there, but i reckon Merve's going to get a crap load of players and Merbein i don't reckon will say no to anyone he wants, so having said that! Merbein Football Club Premiers 2008 and 2009. While Merve is there who cares how they win a premiership!

What is it with all the Merbein people on here and their warped perception of reality? We heard all the same dribble last year........ you would be better off waiting to see how you go rather than talking it up and then look very foolish.

I agree, there is no doubt with the quality of players coming in we will be huge improvers, hard to say how far we can go at this stage

Guys from out Black and White Land please understand that the points system is pretty simple 5 quality players = minimum of 20 points. I think merbein will have about 26 or 27 to play with. Add free locals mark Duscher, maybe ben (my info is he is staying in bendigo) Whiterod (???) + 1 extra player. That would be an injection of 9 players.

To play good finals footy the quality of 6 non locals would need to be in the vacintiy of Matt carn, Jason Eagle, Brad eaton, Brad Hards, Ryan Hards, Bull Atkinson, Mick Faulkhead, Steve Denaro, Danny Obree, Ant Matthews, Jake Ansty, Mark Alvey B & A Rigby just to name a few.

So please guys unless u land some serious guns and actully get the real good locals back just a solid improvement on last year would be accetable in my opinion.

I will name a few players that may return to Magpie land along with swervin mervin. I haven't heard anything other than a few of the balranald boys and ex locals are returning.

Here goes - and some good inclusions that would make them very much in the mix for fourth spot.

Chooka Byrnes
Matty Chilton - Possibly heading overseas with his misses.
Leigh Riordon - Made a comeback last year at Balranald
Mark Ducher
Luke Gane

Points = 4 as past SFL club for all except Riordo is Merbein.

Like I said, I haven't heard anything just my thoughts on those that would definately consider returning under Neagle that I know of.

Luke Gane didn't play this year? while coaching Cardy.
Frog Keatch gone?
Bath?
Jason Hunt?

Would have Merbein known Matt Walder maybe available when they appointed Merv?

Bath is not a big loss if he leaves and Jase Hunt had a good year in millewa but might struggle to step up a level after his injury a couple of years back.

Merbein knew Matty was available cause I told the president. He most probably wouldn't have gone their anyway cause of what happened last time he was there.

With the guys you mentioned earlier Ibis, plus other handy recruits who i won't mention just yet we will improve. Benny Duscher is a freak these days and my mail is usually pretty good, he will be playing with us next year

Correct me if im wrong but even if you bring 9 or 10 players in, the other 12-20 players still arent up to getting team going..i cant think of many that would walk into a spot at the top sides???

It doesn't take 21 great footballers to improve the club. If you bring in some quality players (Which is about all you can do under the points system anyway) along with a decent coach who can utilise and improve the current players better then they will definatley improve alot on last year. I don't think they will get close to challenging for a grand final but with some good inclusions and a good game plan then there is no reason why they can't contend for fourth spot which would be a realistic but difficult goal for them.

Robinvale South and Red Cliffs are in the same boat. Wentworth did no better than the year before and without any handy inclusions they will be battling for fourth as well.

Imps and Mildura should still be up in the top three with Irymple possibly slipping and fighting for fourth if they lose Eagle. Jess is gone and I have heard Carn may be leaving as well although I can't confirm that rumour. Big battle for fourth spot this year.

Ibis i would say thats a fair assesment of the season to come. Mildura are definitly the front runners at the moment the only club currenty to get pen to paper with some quality new guys. other than that the sfl has been super quite to date.

Im expecting some big announcments soon. Imps & R/vale havent even appointed coaches yet. something must be brewing.........

Re: Matty Knights and Merve Neagle what a year!!!!!!

Rumor i have is Sth are currenetly in conversations with 2 players from Melb of VCFL standards. Filghts each week. They would have to be guns if that rumor was true. can any 1 from the Kennal confirm.

 

[Yaaablett]

The much publicised "we will focus on developing our talented juniors for next year" of a couple of clubs lasted all of about 8 weeks. Ego always wins out.

Good to hear from you Yaablett. Can we expect a few more insightful posts this year now you have stepped down? You left a fair void on this site when coaching duties began.

 

[AC Rocket]

See former Red Cliffs premiership coach Jeff Brennan is the new general manager of the Bendigo Bombers in the VFL.

Must have been a good coach and switched on business wise. Anyone expand?
