What's happening in the Bendigo Football League #2

[zakster]

kynton tiggies are last on the ladder .... 0 wins 9 losses 1 bye last game which was round 10 coppd a 174 point beltng from eagleburra
club prez thaw has only a v. small committee workng with him and has said so a few times in past cuppla years
v. hard to attract players thaw has said altho cam tate is a beauty
dont know how there sponsrship is going best to get kynton supporters on this thread to answer that one

Why do we keep going on about this, leave Kyneton alone. I am not a supporter but am thoroughly over the talk of where they are at.

I assure you everyone is well aware of where they are at and many clubs have bottomed out before. Things will turn for the club if they keep working hard.

Remember when poor old Eaglehawk were struggling for a crowd and being belted each week. Tides turn eventually, Kangaroo flat appear to have turned the corner after a long time at the bottom. Why waste our time talking through an issue that keeps being raised every few weeks.

 

[bignuts]

Can anyone give us some further details on the square player / players suspended from the club.
Rumours persist that some activity has occured , out on the town, and that the club is not happy with them????

Seems Fresh FM will run with the story on Saturday morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Said I wouldnt bag Kyneton and I wont.......but let me offer them some sound advise. Kyneton problems are in there jnr system. The club needs to develop a feeder junior system where they take the best from that Micky Mouse KDJFL and start there own jnr club in the RDJFL, give the kids the best coaching available, teach them the clubs culture and get them to die for the yellow and black. Look at Gisbornes model, it works, 9 grandfinals in 11 yrs is pretty good, the system works. Anyone who is deeply involved in the Bulldogs knows that the majority of the team are Gisborne Rookie juniors, even the coach, Matty Fitz or if they r not Rookie Players they are the probucts of other RDJFL clubs. It will take some work, some years of pain, but in time a strong flow of young Tigers will come through. Home grown, proud and cheap to put on the field.

Just a point about this. Gisborne has been populated in recent years by workers coming out from Melbourne for house and land, hence they will have a lot of juniors coming through for the next 10 years minimum.
Kyneton always have strong Under 18's but struggle to hold onto players based on work situation. I think the club has to put ALOT of effort into retaining these blokes initially and they may have to look at getting a coach or playing coach or can generate excitement and drag a few players into the club. I am not having a crack at Cook but am looking at this longer term and he will be backed by locals saying he is doing a great job. Just dont have the cattle.
There has been no real big signings in the last couple of years and this is what usually generates interest.
From the outside it looks to be a vicious cycle but one that can be broken within a couple of years. Need everyone to stick together and put a plan in place. Get the community involved as the footy club needs everyone on board to help where required. Easier said than done but will have to happen soon or Kyneton will move out of BFL as they wont have players willing to play or supporters willing to watch.

wombat --- think our mate zakksta in post #101 was replying to twenty-nine/little champ re the kyneton position
most would have read it as an explanation of the tiges' current situation, not bagging the yellow and blacks
how will willo williams go if he has a gallop with mate warfie at the flat b4 this years finals

My response was targeted more at the little champ, who I feel was bringing up an issue that we have flogged to death. I didn't say, "dont bag Kyneton", I was just trying to put the point across that they know where they are at and why do we keep bringing it up.

There actually is no point bagging a side when they are down, all the same.

Good luck to the boys from Kyneton and if they can maintain their heart and soul, Chambers, Dryden and blokes like Jock Allan the club will turn.

doc kenny .... been to c ur boys or south boys playing at the q recently ??
ben. weekly published a pic of the sunday hurst match in its sprts pages the other friday --- hartney family sitting on scrboard side and along with 2, maybe 3 cars and one other family u cood have shot a cannon down there and not hit anybody
same with south .... one bloke out at the flat sed the other day --- "why r they playing sunday. Do they think they'll get another 10 people there. Make that get another 5 to turn up".
the city clubs r dying dr. kenny n. whethr u acknowledge it or not

I don't deny that we are more vulnerable than other clubs. I've never claimed otherwise - all I have said is that a merger with S'saye has not and will not ever be an option because they have ALWAYS wanted to go it alone... So stop the talk about it because it's done and dusted. Move on.

So dig the boots in if you like about our lack of crowds and money, us Dragons are used to it mate.

But be assured FQ - that we are not sitting back, pointing to our history and our 26 premierships and thinking that will get us by.

Was just a refferene to all those clubs that are strugling knob. what i was getting at was the fact that there are so many football clubs in and around bendigo that cant find enough players to field competitive sides, look at sandhurst they were strugling for numbers in the 2's early in the year, by bringing in a whole new club that will requires a whole new list of players..... players that all these struggling clubs can't find???its going to put even more pressure on those who are already strugling.... (You'd find that most huntly boys come from bendigo too, so bit of homework from your end wouldn't hurt either) . and just for the record one of those players you have on your list from bendigo is as soft as buter walks and talks like his Jono Brown plays like 8 year old school girl........... pea heart. Tried his luck at Golden Square and couldn't get a touch.

 

[outside the packs]

ok truck point taken. yeah i agree bout what u r saying about 1 certain player that is involved with our club. Belly is not a popular chap round this part of the world atm. he has a tendancy to go nwalk about every now n then just like what happened on saturday. imo he is pretty un trustworthy when it comes to football with him.

Kangaroo Flat to beat South Bendigo this weekend. Luckily for South they only have 2 supporters, and both of them are water boys.....
Gisborne to beat E/H in the mud...that ground is a disgrace!
Square to smash Kyneton. Kyneton could field their seniors, reserves and U18's in a massive flood and still lose vs Square seniors.
Maryborough and Sandhurst to play out a nil-all draw.
Strathfieldsaye and Castlemaine have the bye.

Gisbornes ground isn't that bad mate although it won't be once the seniors get on it

Still here - you may want to take your mobile number off your profile before getting lippy.

It is also good to see all your hard work recruiting for Sandhurst has paid off. Your one win from 10 games is very impressive.

 

[Truck]

Truck mate!!! Now i would love 2 see you play. You always talk it up so i would love 2 see you back it up on the field!!! Bet you couldn't get a kick. You obviously have it in 4 belly 4 whatever reason but im sure he would towel you up

Have never talked my footy up. Only play the game to have a run around with my mates. I'm the first one to admit I'm a hack, he would prob towel me up got no issues there, just dont rate the bloke at all.

 

[gutted rabbit]

You have got to be kidding, its a bog, at both ends and across both wings. Apart from that, its a sensational ground- NOT. Cricket-pitch is fantastic, only area that isn't boggy, and even that has the black plastic coming through, with a 1cm cover of sand.

Thought the same when I drove past this morning. Would not surprise if it snows down here either so long johns may be required if you are spectating outside.

Regarding South vs K/Flat...... now who's a very clever rabbit?

 

[fifth quarter]

a very clever rabbit indeed
now how good wld the tip have been if the post had read "flat to get up by a kick, or less"
still a great tip by the rabbit
for daryl and tigers boys .... a score of 1.3 (9) for an afternoon's work is terrible
the rabbit had his paw on the pulse when he wrote the kyneton ones, twos and threes could all be out on the field and the square seniors wld still win

 

[royboy2]

A lazy 12 goal win for the doggies on the Weekend, I think all those up the highway are getting a little concerned
