Wimmera Football League

[Grimmett]

GRIMMETT -- did you hear sat's coodabeen champions on the abc talking about the horsham district league ?
had the guy who is the coach of rupanyup panthers before their game with harrow-balmoral think the panthers got a belting too but not as bad as natimuk
did you get the coodabeens interested in an interview with yr. goal-kicking whiz, david johns

James Burke at Rup I think. Didn't hear it as I was at a local game at the time but have had a few mention it to me.
I should get around to doing something about Johns but perhaps it would be better if a Horsham official stuck their head out in the sun and arranged it. Might be a bit hard though with all their heads currently buried where the sun don't shine.

How is Paul McLoughlan going for Ararat this year? I heard he had a year off last season and is back this year. Is he back to the same sort of level he was in the early 2000s? I remember the day he had 62 possesions to 3/4 time, and I cant remember one that didnt hit the target - The fact it was against Nhill doesnt matter

Clearly the best country footballer I have seen, how the man has not won a Toohey medal is beyond me...

Nhill & District Sporting Club v Minyip Murtoa by 50 pts
Ararat v Stawell Rats by 15 pts

Dimboola to belt the eagles by around 150 points. They seem to have a very potent forward line at the present.
Horsham Demons will probably kick 40 + goals on saturday and Johnsy?? well he may well kick 20 especially with nice fine weather conditions.
Minyip-murtoa to beat nhill by around the 5 goal mark.
Ararat and stawell to play the closest game of the round, maybe a 10 point margin ararats way.

Any coaching changes for wimmera league clubs?? Or player movements??

 

[Andyt30]

not that i know of i'm umpiring at ararat on Sunday
next week we'll be stretched to the limit goal umpiring seniors in the wimmera league and with district League finals start next weekend
We'll be Goal umpiring Wimmera, 4 grades, and Horsham under 16's, reserves & Senior Grades right throught all finals for both leagues we'll have to double up most weekends, sat & Sunday

Horsham will be the biggest win out of all games

and Expect another one sided game in The District League Harrow/Balmoral
50 + over Natimuk by 300pts +

Have heard a whisper Jay Tucker may be returning to WFL with the Horsham Saints at the end of this yr with the struggling club looking to attract some really big names back to WFL footy and emulate Ararat from this season

Minyip Seniors...COme On!!

Whats the go with the setup out at Minyip Kookaburras!!!
A lad by the name of Mitchell Young, brother of AFL player Clinton, has been workin his ass off for the senior selection at age 18, killing it week in and week out in the reserves this kid needs a break. Having and erratic season through minor injuries, if the Kookaburra's are to go anywere in the finals they need this little golden engine in youn to be running off the half back flank to provide some drive!

I look forward to the final series, will be a clse encounter!

Dunno about young Youngy. Is Hynes any good at the coaching caper?
Is Hynes gonna be back next year? Read somewhere his job is being advertised indicating he's quit so just wondered if he's moving from Ballarat to Horsham or away altogether.

 

[Andyt30]

today at Alexander Oval

Ararat 5.6 3.4 6.2 0.6 (14.18)
Stawell 3.1 0.3 1.2 3.1 (7.7)


Ararat kicked just 6 straight pts in the Last Quarter

I heard that he was moving to horsham

 

[RetiredYoung]

Just in case no one saw it on the last page. I am still interested to find out

Would say that tucker will go where ever the $$$$ are. Hes a good footballer but by know mean is he a player and coach that will get a struggling club up and going again.

 

[tomsut_69]

Anyone know how that big red nut Gibson went for Ararat on the weekend?

 

[Rat_attack]

Just in case no one saw it on the last page. I am still interested to find out

Mcloughlan has been in rare form yet again this year, has came back and picked it up where he left off! probably one of if not the best footballers in the league, yet to see him get out marked over head, he grounds skills and exceptional and is disposal is silky smooth! Not only a complete footballer but also a great bloke to go along with that! Gerald Fitzgerald coach of North Ballarat rebels and former coach of McLoughlan says McLoughlan is the best junior he has ever coached! I'm also confused how he was never won the tooheyl!!

I reackon Tucker will stay put for another year at Donald. Gets along really well with all the boys at Donald and has alot of respect around the club with the older guys and works very well with Funcke as an assistant. I also think that Mibus and Wade will be there for another year as well. Heres hoping anyway....

Goals for Ararat ADRIAN GIBSON 7, DALE BLIGH 4, MATTHEW JACKSON 2, SCOTT TURNER 1

Best Players ADRIAN GIBSON, ALAN BATCHELOR, AARON SEARLE, BRADD WILSON, RICHARD O'CONNELL, DALE BLIGH

 

[Andyt30]

it was windy at Alexander oval quite swirly might been gibson not sure
was a Ararat player who marked the ball in the goal square hooked it and just
scrapped in for a goal was hard to get over i was right behind the ball and he hooked it but just made it through some hard shots especally on the Angle

how players dont do ankle injuries when they go nearly to the fence when a player goes for a shot quite a few holes dips thats the North End theirs one south End where theres a cover they need something ontop very dangrous

 

[brilliantnick]

Word going around Ballarat is that Marc Greig has been doing a lot of work to get some roosters and other key players to the eagles nest, at this stage employment is the only thing holding it back. Have heard the names of Andrew Burchall, Searly, Field, Hutchy from east point, and possibly David Rodan from the tigers. Anyone from Warrack or Brim heard? Warrack Eagle- you should ask him on the weekend?

 

[Warrack Eagles]

Mate if thats true i will be one happy camper whats the source??

 

[brilliantnick]

I cant name names Eagle, but, its someone who knows Griegy through work. I think the Rodan one is a long shot, but the word is he is being delisted and wants to chase big cash, which I am told Warrack Eagles have considering they havn't paid many over the past few years. I'll let you know more if and when I hear it. Stawell are also chasing big names.

Thanks for the reply, good to hear he has returned in the same sort of form he had back in the day. I have heard that GF rated him really highly, did Rowdy ever play VFL or look like getting picked up by an AFL club anyone know?

yeah he played for preston nights, played a couple of t.v. games! unsure about AFL though

 

[Grimmett]

VFL only for Rowdy. Not that I'm saying that as a negative thing. Outstanding footballer with few peers in the WFL in recent years. Unsure as to why he is not rated more highly by the opposition.

 

[Warrack Eagles]

I was gonna say David Rodan?? I knew about the other guys they were thinking about it last year and decided at the end of this season wat the would do so lets hope they come!!!
Go You Eagles

 

[Mozus]

This is Directed towards "Warrack Eagles" do you have any idea what you are talking about on here I read the crap that you put on here and sounds as if you have your **** half way up Rosa's Arse. Oh ya the Warrick Eagles are **** and will need a **** load of quality players for them to even make an impression in the Wimmera League. AND for you "Warrack Eagles" I've seen you play and **** i've seen seals with more talent than you. Soft as Butter.
