Wimmera Football League

[Grimmett]

Just wondering what happened to Brent TUCKEY !?......being a football follower from the sanfl i just noticed his clearance was blocked at the start of the season.Was he still contracted to sth for another year....Is he not playing footy at all this year !!

After much behind the scenes manouevring he was unable to secure a clearance to play for Stawell this year. He signed a two year deal with South Adelaide to cover 2005 and 2006. When he decided he wanted to leave South dmended he honour the contract. I don't think he is playing anywhere this year as a result.
It got very messy with suggestions that he had two contracts with South, the one submitted to the SANFL and the 'real' one which detailed the actual payments he was to get. He argued that South broke the contract when they failed to find his girlfriend a job and they countered that she refused all the positions they found for her. In the end Stawell had to give up the chase for him as South made it apparent they were prepared to go to court and the Warriors are like most VCFL clubs in that they cannot afford that sort of expense.
He was also rumoured to be keen on playing for Southport in Qld and a team in the Mornington Peninsula Nepean FL so how much is fact and how much is fiction I'll leave to others to judge.

just wondering how Rich tucker for aarat and ash clugston for dimboola are going this yr? played school boys with ash and was an out and out freak made blokes like andrew walker (carlton) look stupid.

 

[Rat_attack]

Rich Tucker has had a terrible last 3 years with horrific injuries, but still has the heart of pharlap and performs well everyweek, a player that you would go to war with! gives100% every week no matter what and is a born leader! if only other had the heart to go with his magic skills!

It's gonna be a September on the road for most Wimmera clubs. Nhill and Ararat are due to host a finals game this year as well as Stawell.

 

[Warrack Eagles]

Ash Clugston is on pace to win the league B&F having an awsume year. Very correct he is what people could call a freak.

 

[Andyt30]

i'l tip a Horsham v Dimboola Grand final or Horsham v Minyip/Murtoa
the warrack eagles Under 17's will just get into the double chance if they can win most of the remaining matches, rd 18 the grand final preview the Eagles to defend their crown they will throw everything they got at the Dees come rd 18 , this week warrack v Saints, a big Important win for the Eagles under17's before the bye then Stawell, Dimboola, Horsham (Brim)
if we can win 2 out 3 add the bye we could manage on 3rd possie could go 2nd if can win 3 we'll be safe hoping Horsham or Ararat looses a few in arow to make rd 18 very important game to Win

Tipp This week

Warrack Eagles v Horsham Saints (Eagles to break loosing streak)
Ararat V Minyip/Murtoa( Rats just)
Horsham V Stawell ( Horsham be Far too big and strong)
Nhill V United United too good

David Johns should kick his 100th goal early in the game i'm tipping in first half he'll kick 12-14 goals by end of the season he'll be well over the 100 close to 120-130 depending how many he kickes a week

cheers

haha yeah freak sums him up well, rocked up to a u/15 school boys practise match still ****ed and stood on a blokes head and took one of the best marks you would ever see. also saw him at the northern zone athletic sports one day do the high jump in jeans and still beat half the blokes. he's a rare unit who could have done anything with his football ability

Pretty much spot on gault! Hes a super talent, should of defaintly gone further with his football ability. Still might if he wins the Thooey this year and a premiership at Dimmy. Does love a drink and a smoke though!

I see johnsy kicked 16. Having a super season he may be a smokey for the thooey as well.
Nhills faint final chance is no longer alive after going down to the diggers, and a come from behind win by ararat in a surprise win.
And the saints beat warrack, i couldn't believe that. What happened there Warrack Eagles??

 

[Warrack Eagles]

pretty easy to sum up our day Fu*king ****

 

[Rat_attack]

Minyip Murtoa would have to be serioulsy looking for a new coach next year wouldn't they?? they are a very good team with some good young footballers coming through but Hynes lacks alot of leadership on the ground, he was terrible when coached North Ballarat Reservers and at waubra, His playing abillity also has a question mark over it as does his heart, far to scared as a player, and how are the yound lads going to look upto sum1 like that?? The jury is really out on him at the moment. Whats others thoughts on him?

 

[Warrack Eagles]

I think he is a good player and a good coach wouldnt no how he coaches but on field he does look ok.

 

[Andyt30]

David Johns has a chance to break John Hotkers record if johns kicks a big back for the remaining matches

 

[bomber_42]

Was a bit bored so decided to produce some rough odds for the Toohey Medal Count at this stage of the season. Play in the league so I can only vote on what's written in the papers and what I see each Saturday.

$3.50 Clugston DIM
$8 Kosch MM, Lohde DIM
$11 Midgley MM, Johns HD, Batchelor HD
$15 J. Smith HU, McFarlane DIM, Bligh ARA,
$21 Carr HD, Grieg WE
$28 Okely WE, Farr HD, Arnel HD

Any comments?? Would be interested to see a different version Toohey odds from someone like AndyT???

 

[Warrack Eagles]

Great to see Oakley up there ill tell ya now he will go close. Along with a young fella by the name of Danny Krahe playing a very consistant year this year!!. Googa should go close.

 

[Andyt30]

least we got the Under 17's aiming too finish top 3 for a double chance
if we can win next few before rd 18 Warrack, Ararat & Horsham the 3 main teams to go along way through depending when they play against each other, if we can stay 3rd and get a double chance
Reserves got a chance to make the top 5 bye this week, 4pts and if Nhill Beats Stawell in the Reserves will put us in the 5 and stawell be out of the 5 and if we can win i tip the Eagles to Scrape in the reserves top 5
Eagles under 17's only 3 games behind horsham and ararart , could be 2 if either Horsham or ararat Looses Ararat v Saints , Horsham v Dimboola
Rd 16, United v Ararat, if united dose the right thing. and we beat Stawell
hope we can finish in the top 2 Rd 17 ararat v Stawell , Warrack v Dimboola we should beat all bar maby Horsham the only Dangour game it be a bonus makes rd 18 be the most important win
Warrack v Horsham @ Brim

Don't think more than one bloke on here bagged him.
Many of us obviously rate him highly. I think he's a super player who would be more than handy in a good WFL team.

 

[Andyt30]

Ararat 16. 12 108 d Horsham Saints 15.8 98
Been tight all day several Lead Changes especally last Quarter

[Warrack Eagles]

WTF happened to nhill great signs to see stawell Sh*t it in when we have to play them this week.

Tips this weekend clowns

 

[Andyt30]

is The Stawell v Warrack a day game or is it a Night Game? just wondering?

Horsham has a new genuion premiership threat thats Dimboola who pushed Horsham all the way Dimboola lead for 3 quarters horsham won it in the last Quarter vertually come from behind, i tip a Horsham v Dimboola Grand final
i tip under 17s Horsham v Warrack in a rematch of 2005

Warrack reserves has a chance to make the 5 if the beat 5th place stawell both on same pts 5th spot not yet sewn up can go not further then 5th
hope the reserves scape into the finals under 14's needs to win next 2 games to get into the finals need to beat sides above em
this week they need to beat Stawell to move up also how others fair who warrack needs to loose like Minyip murtoa etc
