back on the conversation of footy thanks fella's, although its nice to know about your wonderful lives, i'd prefer to read about footy!
Rhan said:I agree
Sandhurst are struggling to keep anyone since they won the flag! Supposably they wouldn't even put beer on for the players after the game, and the sponsors had to do it instead. Not be be all and end all but I know a few weren't happy about it
anyone know where ryan pedrotti will be playing this year. seen on the clearance list that he tried to cross back to eaglehawk from white hills but was rejected. has he re-signed with the hillers or is he still trying to cross to the borough?

Not quite sure but I know that Dangerous Dave Edwards has gone from square to take up the full forward post at White Hill's, also assistant coach!

They'll end up like another club I wont name. Players leave a club after they feel they've been treated like crap. And its normally not just one or 2 that go

Wonder how long before other forwards will start complaining about dave's lack of feeding off to others and snapping from the boundary instead of centering the ball!
Rhan said:
Well you saw what happened after they won the flag, I want to know the whole reason behind it, would be interesting!

I'll take that and have $20 on hawks to win.
Damn I wish we could have a real betting thing on here, is that possible? Like we all started with $200 and could bet it on games with Pickles odds. Yep, that would be grand

Just looking ahead to the lightning premiership in a few weeks now. It's a bit hard to gauge how sides are going to go because you don't know what sort of squads are going to be selected. But I have no choice but to make rochester favourites for it. Here's how I see it shaping up, although these odds will change as we get closer.Picklesmeoldmate said:
$2.25 Rochester
$2.65 Gisborne
$3 Echuca
$3.60 Eaglehawk
$4.40 South Bendigo
$5 Golden Square
$14 Sandhurst
$18 North City
$19 Castlemaine
$26 Maryborough
$27 Kyneton
$35 Kangaroo Flat
The reason there aren't any big odds is basically, anything will be able to happen on the day. As I read from one coach the other day, sides really have to dominate for the equvialent of a quarter to win. Looking forward to seeing James Hird run around on the QEO tomorrow night. Pity Crawford isn't playing for the Hawks. Essendon to win easy I think. The Dockers to beat the Cats at the Dome by 12 points.

at $5.60 young Bomber brent stanton is the favourite to be named best on ground

For your information Sunshine beat Gisborne by around 4 goals, Gsiborne looked to (or i hope) have some key players not to make the trip. Sunshine though probably had 12 or so more blokes and the fresh legs ensured the took the bikkies int he six quarter match.
Scrappy match as to be expected from the first hit out.
Cheers
North City has appointed on-field leaders for their inaugural season in the Bendigo FL. Practice match schedule is in place also.
I can't remember if it was this BFL thread or the other where it was asked if the North City team would be the Roosters. No mention of it in the article but the photo that was in the actual paper showed the three leaders in tops bearing a logo with a rooster in the middle of it.
From today's Ballarat Courier:
North City names leaders for first year in Bendigo league
Thursday, 9 March 2006
NORTH CITY Football and Netball Club yesterday unveiled its leadership group for its inaugural year of competition in the Bendigo Football League.
City has also secured major sponsor Balben Property Transfers to carry the club's naming rights for 2006.
The club is the product of the North Ballarat Junior Football Club comprising senior and under-18 sides as well as four netball teams, and is aiming to regenerate the culture of the North Ballarat club of old.
Adam Richardson, 23, who cut his teeth at North juniors and who has been vice-captain of Daylesford for the past two seasons, has been named captain.
"He is one of our most experienced players with close to 70 to 80 senior games," coach Shane McCarty said yesterday.
His deputies will be vice-captains Ben Beaston, 21, also of Daylesford and ex-North Ballarat Rebels player Jake Young.
Beaston, 21, is a fourth-year senior player who started with North juniors while Young, 19, is in his first year out of the elite under-18 TAC Cup competition.
"Jake has been sought after by the Roosters but he doesn't want to play there at this stage of his career. He shows a lot of maturity above his years and is a born leader," McCarty said.
He said the club was pushing the North culture of the past.
"We have about 45 players with a predominance being from the North juniors - probably about 80 per cent have come through the North culture which we are trying to promote.
"North Ballarat (when it was in the Ballarat Football League) was one of the most successful clubs of the past 30 years in Victoria. We had a culture envied by all other country football clubs."
North City will have its first hit out against opposition in the Learmonth pre-season night series which starts next Wednesday.
"We are playing in round one with a side that is half under-18s and half seniors but there will be no top line players running around in the night series," coach McCarty said.
"We then play a Melbourne suburban team on Saturday, March 25, before the April 1 first round of the lightning premiership in the Bendigo league and on April 8 we play Montmorency in the Diamond Valley League."
North City has five games confirmed at the Northern Oval in a shared arrangement with the VFL North Ballarat Roosters and Rebels.
"We are still working on the other four home games."
"The Eastern Oval is our first preference (for alternate venues) and the other possibility is the City Oval which I don't think will be available early in the season because of ground conditions.
"Our first round on Easter Saturday in the Bendigo league is against South Bendigo at the QEO (Queen Elizabeth Oval) under lights.
"Round two is our first home game at a venue to be determined because it is one of the four games that clashes at the Northern Oval. We are booked in to the City Oval if it is playable while round three will also be under lights at Maryborough."
North City president Paul Leahy said he was hopeful of getting retired players back to the new club.
"We are looking forward to re-establishing our relationship with players of our old Ballarat Football League club," Mr Leahy said.
"We had three premierships in our last year in the Ballarat league - seniors, reserves and under 16s and that's 10 years ago now.
"We would love to see the players from those premierships teams as well as others associated with club in that era get involved with the new club in any way possible," he said.

Toadfooty said:How do we rate the ruckmen in the league guys?
Not sure of the overall standard, would think that John Hardinge from South Bendigo would clearly be the best. Square have recruited a top ruckman in Wes Pye. Hardinge would be as good as most ruckman outside of VFL I'd reckon..gun!
in Bendigo Footy?

Gday Pickles,
Great to see some odds on the lightning premership. Mate why are kangaroo Flat dead last? We havent lost anybody yet and surely we would be in front of Kyneton and Maryborough. Yes I am biased but what do other people think out there.
Beware of the Flat in the lightning premiership. You only have to turn it on for a quarter. With Browny in the forward line dont count us out yet!

Brown is a quality foward but i saw alot of Kangaroo flat last year and the supply from midfield wasnt good. + Brown is the best bloke to get the Flat first use in the middle. If he gets it he will cause many headaches because of his size and has a great set of hands, but the dilivery to him is second rate.
