What's happening in the Bendigo Football League #2

[HJ32]

Gerard Geary rings a bell, whatever his name was he was a gun half forward.
Peter Moroni and Gary Mountjoy werent bad out of the guts either.

what about Tony Barnes and Eddie Sheils? Both were premiership players at Seymour and team of century members (i think). Eddie was still running around only a couple of years back at Nagambie. I think he won a KDFL league medal in his 40's. Did Rick Hagar play at Northern united in the golden era?

Word is D.Loch from E/Hawke has been made an offer to hard to refuse from Ainsly in the ACT.

fair link between the burra and Ainslie. Lucas Matthews and the Langan boys have had a run up there. I think Chris Rourke is still coaching them

Rourkey was re-signed mid year for another 2 years at Ainslie. They arent the most powerful side but have alot of juniors coming through from what I am told. Ex AFL players are usually shown the door of the armaguard van that rolls up to pay them. The setup in Canberra is sensational and they are always chasing players as they have plenty of cash being generated by the social club.

Rumour has it that David Antonowicz (ex West Coast Eagles & Western Jets) has been interviewed for the coaching job at Kyneton. He's apparently moving to Gisborne from Wodonga where he's been playing the last few years.

I think St.Albans will be having a chat as well with him.

The Goldfields Superleague would mean that the QEO finals monopoly would be over, or could you play it like the AFL have home finals where the highest qualifier has it in 'their city'... Bendigo or Ballarat?

For instance a Golden Square V Redan final to be played at the QEO, and a Darley V Sth Bendigo final at the Eastern Oval, Ballarat.

I would hope that they would follow the Ballarat Football League where finals are based on where you finish. The highest ranked team gets a home final just like the AFL. Darley played 2 finals at home this year after finishing on top.

Where does the VCFL sit on the Super League idea. or are they too busy getting ready for their free food and drinks at the Premiers Dinner this Saturday night and patting themselves on the back for the great job they do for country footy.

I can now annouce that (as some of BF fans already know !) that Clint Whitsed (Rochy, Bendigo Diggers/Bombers Ainslie [ACT], Murray Bushrangers fame) has been appointed as the Storm's inaugrual senior coach.

Other appointments to be confirmed is the Under 18's coach with Paul Hingston (former Vic talent scout for Brisbane Lions) being appointed. No appointments for Reserves coach or Netball at this stage - hopefully further announcements next week !

Stay tuned !!

Good bloke & good choice.

I think St.Albans will be having a chat as well with him.

I think you'll find that there is absolutely no chance of him going back there.

 

[Doona2]

What's the latest at Gisborne? Just rang a mate who originally told me an announcement on the coach was to be made this morning but it seems the unveiling will be held over until tomorrow . . . . .

 

[TRAVCLOKE#32]

Ty Elliot appointed Senior coach of Gisborne

 

[hilux98]

Good bloke & good choice.

Yes agree a good choice as coach but what a stupid name for a football club who the hell thought of it????

Why not stick with the Ranga's and continue the link with their junior organisation. Ranga would be modern and contempary as well as being original.

They may even be able to get Jonah to come along and be the number one ticket holder.

Is anyone able to post a mock up of the Strath jumper by any chance or is it still on the drawing board?

Its a Geelong jumper with the word "STORM" printed on the front in the abdomen area.

Mayebe the SPOONERS would've been a better name, as in the wooden ones!

I can advise that the jumper for Strath Storm will be the same as the Geelong traditional jumper (blue and white hoops). At this stage there are no plans to change the design of the jumper which includes any use of wording. Maybe this will happen as an alternative "clash" strip in years to come.

As for the name of the Club - "Storm" seemed to roll off the tongue easy with the word Strath, as well being a unique team identity in Aussie Rules (find me another Storm Aussie Rules FC in Australia ??). Ranga's referred to the old Mandurang association with the juniors, in which had no association with the senior body.

Strath POWER would've been better, just my opinion though.
