Haha, only a grand?

I didn't see it but its probably something they should look at for the future - suspensions should exclude carnival games. It's a massive personal price for someone to pay if they get rubbed out and miss some of the championships and really its actually not in AFL Victoria's best interests to see any of their players rubbed out because they want VM and VC to be competitive and have as many AA's and draftees as they can get.

Anyway a bit off topic but that'll keep you happy. God help anyone listening to the commentary you're doing...remember there are 44 players in the match.

 

[Bourky23]

yea don't worry it's all a bit of fun and games with heyney i'll be as impartial as i can.. tune in if you can, i'd love a bit of feedback.

on board with a few aspiring journalists. commentary being headed by Dan Hill who is a regular VFL commentator, very exciting stuff

How'd you get involved in a gig like that Bourky?

How'd you get involved in a gig like that Bourky?

pure luck really. I currently write for a paper down in Geelong covering local footy and was lucky enough to be involved in a program at the Advertiser which allowed me to make contacts with people such as Dan Hill and even Dylan Howard from Channel 7...

are you also interested in a sports journalism career?

 

[TFLUA-Tiger]

Yep - exactly what I'm interested in Bourky, a career in sports journalism.

You doing a degree at uni, or still studying?

nice! yea i'm currently at uni in Geelong study Arts majoring in Journalism.. i'm only first year though. what about yourself?

 

[TFLUA-Tiger]

In Year 12 - planning to do the same thing - but at Hobart - next year.

 

[Bourky23]

lovely Tasmania is a fantastic place for budding young journo's i've heard as there is plenty of work but not enough to do it.. i may even spend some time down there in the future to build up my folio etc.

good luck in your aspirations hopefully down the track we might work together

 

[TFLUA-Tiger]

Thanks mate.

Just a quick question, how'd you land the spot at the paper in Geelong? submit a piece, or a folio, or just apply?

Would be good, wouldn't it. Then we could cover the potential draftees together My reviews would be slightly less biased though.

VC lost to SA today - anyone at the game and can report? Very disappointing after the WA game.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Vic Country mids were mostly quiet, the game was the Hamish Hartlett show for much of the proceedings. Country got a late run on and should have kept the momentum going, but were wasteful in front of goal with some easy shots and SA picked up a couple of late steadiers. Cahill for SA was also impressive.

nick and abbey were in orbost this week and they looked very cosy walking down the main street.

Thought that the country mids got shown up for pace. They seemd to lack a bit of run and the fact that a number of them are not overly quick hurt them.
SA had Shannon , Hall , Hartlett , Okeefe plus a few running from half back most of the day.

 

[its game on]

Both Sam Wright and Dash Barolli are in the VC squad, have either had a run, or are they injured, or just haven't been selected?

Would have thought with 5 games, everyone would get at least 1 run especially the top agers?

Gotta love John Butcher.

gee we have a great team

Gippsland will love him all the way through next year. As they will about 10 other bottom agers who look very promising as well.

They're doing something right down there.

Who is suban? never heard of him...

Nick Suban. one word- gun

When did your spaceship land on earth?
AIS Academy. Vic Country U18s 2007. All Australian U18 2007. TAC Team of the Year 2007.

Pure gold from footyman.
You can add VC's best player in the 2008 Championships.

I did see it, 5 goals and a poster I think from him on Wednesday, he finished off the carnival on a really good note.

I think I'd seen his two worst games of the year too - Country vs Metro and the TAC game against QLD so I was happy to see him back in full flight and playing well.

i know its bigfooty and we all make spelling mistakes but get your sig correct..

 

[youngsaint]

Overheard 2 scouts sitting in front of me talking about Blair on wednesday... Said he played real well and is a very good player but then they said he's only 172cm.. the conversation ended after his height was mentioned...
