Is there going to be a formal announcement about the N.O.B.S/St.Pats partnership on the vafa.com.au web site ?

Geez - I throw a joke rumour out there (re: Ramsden) and it comes back to haunt me.
OK:
1. Rambo staying, most likely as co-captain.
2. Big Cat also staying, but will join in pre-season proper when he returns from assignment in Sydney
3. Carlson has retired from coaching and Phil Gaut (assistant '99 to '03, and co-senior coach '04/'05) was appointed the sole senior coach after 9 other applicants were considered. Assistant senior and reserves roles will be filled in the next two weeks. U19s coach is still Leo Curran. Club XVIII coach is a while away.....
4. About five overseas/work departures from the 2004 senior prelim side (T. Healy, P. Gnatt, Andrews, R. Burrows and McKinnon) have indicated they are going to return. How many others follow their lead remains to be seen. Given the coaching adjustment, more may follow.
5. I'm not privy to the recruiting side at present (already got enough on my plate) but will no doubt be filled in tomorrow night at our Committee Meeting.
6. Off-field we've got a new president and secretary, with a returning treasurer, and a couple of younger guys going onto the committee
Finally, yes, we were very fortunate to stay up as our injury list was never long and we played fewer guys in the seniors throughout the year than we can recall. There's a surprisingly good vibe amongst the group after a difficult year, so hopefully we can ensure the bulk of this years' list remains (Champ's the only confirmde retiree) and they worker harder, earlier, to ensure we don't have a repeat of '05. We don't need 31 year-olds winning all the pre-season time trials!!

ALPHONSE TO LEAVE THE GILLON?
Rumours persist about big $$$ offers from a number of EDFL clubs for the services of NOBSPC king-pin Alphonse. After five years in purple & white (soon to be purple, white, blue & green), word has it that the creative midfielder has become frustrated by a lack of senior opportunities and is considering taking the serious coin that the ramshackle EDFL B-Grade clubs are throwing at him. Is he really worth $300 a game???????????????????

This is huge news. I'd heard a rumour that he had been talking to Xavs. They were offering him some big coin to come and play. Luckily I was able to tell him not to go anywhere near them on an account of them having just too many ordinary blokes down there.
Then one of my sources told me that they had seen him on the weekend training with a team made up of mostly doctors. WTF!!!!
Cameo King said:
Thank you Cameo King, the rumours are true (and hardly surprising) about big cash offers but Alphonse will be staying put and is excited about the opportunities C Grade presents. NOBSPC inaugural coach will be announced later today and we are confident he is the man to restore nobs to former glory.

Surely Alphonse isn't going to captain coach, is he????
Any news on Hutch Maiiva returning from Perth to play VAFA football again? The former century goal kicker could very handily slot in at Keilor Hill
Special thanks to the Knight Rider and his guest list at Room saturday night. Knighter, you are a man about town!

Interested to know what sort of club Ivanhoe/Assumption is.....what's their reputation like in regards to discipline, performance, supporter base, etc? What is their ground like? Any comments welcome....
Their ground was recently refurbished and is normally in pretty good condition, except for the real wet days when the turf wicket becomes what all turf wickets become. I don't think the Assumption partnership has done anything for them as they haven't had any success since. It may take time though
Their supporter based would be a mixture of feral country bumkins, a few bezerker-like parent and a few glamour Ivanhoe tarts. Thats if they stay true to namepunchfrombehind said:
Barry Price (former Collingwood centreman) to coach Old Scotch.

Team Captain
Jon Dorotich (former Carlton Key Position Player) to coach Old Essendon.

Assumption connection has ended after no success - Ivanhoe are an old club with little future I can see unless a junior structure is put into place
did beat a few good sides towards the end of the season but only just held onto to D2 spot so not good signs for the club
Krusher - Any idea who your new coach is ?
New goal umpires coach has been appointed for the next 3 years - Andrew Barnes.
Also, Beaumaris have appointed former Ormond star Russell Barnes as coach.

Well done to Barnesy, definately was the logical replacement and will make a great coach
Just a little bit of sucking up already Eddie ... 
Played under Russell Barnes this year and i thought he was a good coach but others did not think so. Very good pick up for beauy but they will still be going straight back to C grade in 2007 as i watched them in the grandfinal and they were terrible

Eddie will be with me in B Grade next year...well at least half of it..then back in C for the other half!
