FIRST POST: As i am a keen supporter whilst only seeing a few games this year and a former player of the Bendigo football league i have to ask the question is the Gisborne fc one of the top five clubs in country football?Dont all jump down my throat im not a Gfc player or member.The reason i ask this is my job involves driving all over coutry Vic staying in pubs and hotels an i get into talks with other die hards and allot know Gisborne and how successful they are.So are they this good?I had to do a bit of research and found they have won six premierships in nine years even though three were in an average league and a number of 2's and 18's to add.So is this mantle warranted ? Im keen to know more.Two of the four games i have seen this year involved GFC and as i watch them run out all i see is a young,no muscle no height buch of players,but when they play all you see is speed,tuff at the ball two way running footballers.Not one of them hang out waiting for the easy one a disease in Bendigo football.Although i hear South matched them for this in their win well done bloods.Finally with GFC and its success and i belive bragging wrights to be a top five club in country Vic who is next?Is it the young Nth Ballarat ?S**t i hope not Bendigo not another out of town club.

I AM back, Maxie P.
To answer your Gisborne question, grunt, Gisborne is a very good outfit. As you have seen not overly tall, especially since Duff-Tytler went down with injury, but run all day and always have teammates in support.
Last weekend was their 16th straight win, including 2 grannies and a prelim. final, over Eaglehawk --- the Two Blues have NOT beaten Gissie since Rd. 4, 2001. Don't know how many other Vic. country clubs shudder under such a big hoodoo as E'hawk, but there could not be too many.
My tips for this weekend --- Tigers, Gissie (at Maryboro), Square, South and the Maine.
Jock -- out !

good on u bb 4 keeping pt's posts up on the site
even tho he went in and cleared them we can still c wot he wrote becoz you have cut and paste them i hadn't seen the one about the sunbury committee but thanks to u we can all c it now even after he again went in and deleted half of his post

 

[FencePainter]

Was priveleged to witness a courageous act from Dillon Anderson on the weekend, backing back to an approaching pack of South forwards to kill the contest. A feature of his game that has gone missing I would have thought.

Good to see the ruckman Pye out there again, probably still needs to prove himself to gain the title of star recruit. A huge second half the year and finals series beckons him...he will explode I'm tipping!!!

i am going to go 4 sandhurst and the burra boys reckon square and south will b flat after the games in the heavy slush and dragons and hawks have had 2 weeks off and didnt play in last weeks lakes

 

[jimmyboy]

Zakster, don't you think the trip down to Gisborne LAST weekend to play in very heavy conditions will have any effect on the burra boys, not saying they won't win, but played the same week as square, so last weeks conditions will affect both you would think

 

[b birmingham]

Yeah i agree fifth quarter both Bulldogs probably won't take too much out of their wins but was very important to get the four points in the context of the season.
Don't forget square still have C Anderson & Brendan fraser aswell to come back aswell but are getting very close to full strength at the right tim of the year.

Just wondering if there is anyone else still to come back in for the square MP??? Will there be anyone out of last week's side, things seem to be coming togther down at wade street.

Out-Walsh, Keast & Lloyd

Those 3 players plus other noted senior players to come back this season would be C Anderson, B Fraser & A Bovalino.

They still have a lot of work to do to sew up top 3 spot it would seem!

The wheels would need to fall off big time FW for Square to miss a top 3 berth.

The leaders at the club I'm sure will ensure this doesn't happen.

Need to get their injury list under control though!

The wheels fell off for them this time last year.
Will be interested to see if their leaders stand up against Eaglehawk this week. Big test with a big day planned at the Burra. The crowd will be acting like Goats as usual, bluey watts will be looking for a fight too.

Country footy will be alive at the Burra this week.
Mckern will be sitting on their bench pretending to make important moves when really he'd be better suited when it comes to football knowledge & tactics to cutting oranges with Bluey Watts!

What's that all about final word, are you having a go at someone like me. there's nothing wrong with acting like a goat. i am deeply offended by that remark. what have i ever done to you. i'm just a simple goat who lives on the back of a pick up truck. the old man who brought me back from the hills of europe doesn't give a stuff about me. am i happy on that truck, the old man doesn't give a heck

 

[Gareth Keenan]

I hear its Derrick Filo's 400th game this week - fantastic effort.
He was a champion player back in my era.
I do hope Square can spoil the party though.

Weed, the hot dogs are mighty fine over here at Alberton Oval.
If you're ever in Adelaide I'll shout you one.

Odds for this weekend? Eaglehawk V Square would be close. Surley Eaglehawk will try to be up for Filo.

Can someone tell me whether Griffin from Square went up to the tribunal this week? Can't believe he got put in the book for the 'love tap' on Tasca at last weeks game. I would imagine that it was withdrawn. Also, this week's South vs Sandhurst game, are Shadbolt, Burke and O'Bree likely to play?

No Pun intended Talking Goat!!
Your the finest goat in the land.

griffin is right to play but has a one week ban hanging over his head from now until the end of the year if he decides to get reported again and is now ineligable to win the medal. as for the three south boys, i believe shadbolt and burke are still missing but danny "tony mokbel" o'bree is ready to go and will turn it on, is chomping at the bit to get going again my sources tell me.

 

[fifth quarter]

griffin found guilty of striking tasca boney
been given a suspended one-week sentence which applies to the end of season 2006 he cant win the michelson tho becoz been found guilty
he can play for square at burraland on sat breezer coburn and big strange ins for south v sandhurst shadbolt still out & also l burke nifty nev clark out injured so 3 of their guns on the fence for the s'hurst boyz mattie keown and cam taylor are ins but a big out for them is chf mark fitzg.

Can you tell me FW what injuries Walsh and Keast have. It said in the Addy that Lloyd done his hammy but I didn't know about the other two.

If the square were to get all those players back that you mentioned, they would have a good lineup. I think that's what it's going to come down to this year, who can have their best side on the park at the right time of year, south and gisborne have had a lot of players miss during the year so it's going to be interesting!

Dave is coaching this week but big axle has been committed to a pie eating contest down at gillies this weekend for 12 months, he's the defending champ so he has to turn up! Career has to come before footy i'm afraid

 

[The Talking Goat]

Welcome to today's edition of gamble with the goat for round 13 of the BFL. let's have a look at this weekend's games and see if we can pick a winner for all you punters out there.
eaglehawk $2 would have to start under dogs after square's good win last week. at home though must not be discounted, particularly with the incentive of filo's 400th
golden square $1.85 good win over south last week would see square favourites, but there could be a late change so we will see.

South Bendigo $1.45 has performed better than sandhurst over the course of the year and should win
Sandhurst $2.40 no fitzgerald hurts, but the dragons have won 3 straight

Kyneton $1.18 would be too strong at home. reaper to kick 15.
North City $3.80 will be overwhelemed by the bigger bodies. if reaper kicks 15, margin will be over 100

Castlemaine $1.30 tough to beat at home, kicked itself out of the game against sandhurst last start
Kangaroo Flat $3.70 the roos may have won last game, but can't see them doing it two games in a row

gisborne $1.02 no contest, will win comfortably. game will be over at quarter time
mayrobough $8 no chance, will be a blowout.

so there we go, any comments
