Wimmera Football League

[Moonhead]

have ya seen Alexander oval did someone dump a load of sand down the north end goal square? looks like a beach with out Water also the ground is very Patchy
least Anzac park dosn't look like a beach with sand
prepare for stawell to beat united and play the granny at Anzac Park

Andyt obviously you don't play the game and are one of these puppets who have very little knowledge, if all you can do is bag grounds when we are in one of our worst droughts in history then please talk your rubbish somewhere else. Be thankfull we have grounds to play on at all, Im sure if you speak to players who actually run around on these grounds you won't hear to many complaints about Ararats ground even considering it gets trained on 4 nights a week and played on every week.

Can't believe I got yellow card for calling someone a knob head and telling him to drop off!!!!

 

[The Ferm]

Couldnt make it to the game. It would have hurt the boys but they will bounce back. What did the coach have to say that was so bad for under 17,s.

the coach pretty much went nuts at the team for not listening to him, playing their own game, dissrespecting him..
hard for a young team to left when the coach is frequently looking for the negatives and not the posiatives.. yes i do admit they boys played the worsed game of their season but clearly there should have been some positives out of the game he could have delivered!

Why do they always have to bag Ararat the ground is in very good nic. Could be a bit better but still the best in the wimmera.

 

[wallyon]

have heard that the two ward boys, watson and burdett have signed or close to signing with the saints for 08. that would give them a major boost with the few young blokes coming through and zac taggart coming back from a knee reco. if they are going back you would think that they would attract a few others to the club.
anyone one else heard this or any thoughts on it?

Think you'l find clint curdett is extremely happy at pimp and is staying there, dont know about the others but doubt the saints could match the southern roos coin.

Horsham would have to be the best at the moment horsham lucky so far with the state of the ground not having to move games on 3wm they said if we don't get Rain soon before 2008 season trhe ground may no be playable
could have similar problems in 2008 if we have repeat of this year
likes Of Kalkee and Natimuk lost their preliminary final to City Oval
Ararat should be happy to get 2 Finals in 2 weeks

I'm tipping stawell just 20 pts

Breaking News!!
Saxton Rural Supplies now have a sponser a footballer program due to a crayfish ban on a local member the dimboola football club can no longer pay there players. for the last three years its believed dimboola have found a 'money tree' its rumoured that 3 clubs close to dimboola being nhill jeparit-rainbow and warrack have been searching for this money tree when 2pm yesterday arvo a young nhill man found it during a working bee. He commented 'the tree is dead, dried up, there is nothing left of it' could this be the end of Dimboola???

 

[Tige]

Any early news on departures or possible signings in the WFL in '08'???

 

[Tige]

I tip the Eagles to finish in the top 5 and Horsham going for their 6th Premiership in arow And Saints to finish last again

Bit early for a statement like that anydyt horsham havnt even one there 5th in a row yet. Find it hard to see stawell beating them this week tho. Horsham will not be as strong next year tho thats my early tip.

 

[Tige]

Been floating around on other leagues pages with some people keen to make a team of the year. Anyone got an ideas for '07' in the wimmera

Stawell the only side to beat horsham once and fell 6 pts short in the Second Semi.
and Warrack had their chance to knock off Horsham at Brim big turn around from the 101 pt flogging from Horsham Rd 3 to just losing by 33 pts even getting to 1 goal behind a big turn around

i was barracking for Stawell to beat United

the only one sided game yesterday was the under 17's ararat managed to kick 20 + goals more then the other grades could manage.

Seniors no goals were kicked towards Scott St end
other grades could kick goals but Seniors couldn't
not even when the sun came out after ht.
its good that sides are Pushing Horsham all the way
especally 2nd half of the year.

 

[Andyt31]

babba great post agree with every thing you say. Just wish the fools at the ararat city council would put some money towards a new set of change rooms insted of spending milions of rate payers money on a chinees white elephant. The ground then could get grade cricket games and vfl games as well. All of the things bring people to the town and this bringing outs side money into the town. That ground is a great aset to the town endless water all year round.

 

[banganmash]

On a serious note. News on the grape vine is that the Ararat Gason Rats held the "It take two" charity ball at the weekend, which was hosted by Mr Money (Murray Jensen). Murray said that he would save the best for last, which murray was too close the night with a song of his own. I heard that the night was a great success until the end of the night when Mr Money was escorted into the back of a divvy van by police. People were walking around astonnished, and could not believe at what was taking place. Police later revealed that Murray was on a Murder charge. A man from the crowd yelled out " what murder, who is dead " the police replied, " Murray murded that song!!!!

have heard that after saturdays granny horsham could lose a few. Farr is heading off , running out of work in horsham and hid pub ban hasn/t helped, terry arnel is considering going back to birchip, johnsy is set to retire after coming very close this year and batchelor is going to coach minyip/murtoa. On the bright side skurrie is set to return.

I heard Batch promised Min/murtoa a year before he retires. He was close to going there this year!

Bunworth to coach Laharum Next Year?? Its about time the demons got rid of farr. Is a good player but his actions off the field would have to be pissing off the horsham heirachy.

I also hear 1 of Dimboola's high profile recruits this year is in a spot of bother with the law over an incident a week or 2 ago.

There was talk around Nhill that former carlton rookie Daniel Batson would play in 2008 but these rumours have been quashed. I would expect Nhill to be going all out to get the 5 or 6 players they require to be a contender next year.

Will be interesting to see what watson and the 2 ward boys announce tonight at the harrow B and F count. it said in the mail times today that they will announce where they are playing next year.

Grand final tip: Stawell to win a close grand final by 5 points to end horshams reign. Tuckey to be best on by a mile. If horsham win Johns would have to kick close to 10 for the match.

 

[Sockit151]

Good luck to the "redlegs".. Would be good to see the Horsham run come to an end.

congrats to all the winning teams on the weekend.. some fantastic, exciting footyball was played and was top quality.
there is one person i specially would like to congradulate and that was the coach of the ararat thirds who has coped some flat the last few weeks by alot of people including myself, but it is diffeniently clear that this man has the respect of ararat and the exspecially the boys who he coached.
good on him for standing up and delivering.

I like to see Grand finals close all day not one sided games the under 14's was the closet game could been a draw would been interesting if it been a draw
they should do away with come back next week
Grand finals should be same as other finals extra time
The Seniors finished after 5.30 i stayed all day
its a long day standing up. the Advantage of umpiring the first game ya can drive in and pick a spot

the ground was watered during the week the ground would have had no traffic since last weekend

David Johns could have kicked 10 if he hadn't missed not sure how many he missed i know he missed one hard to tell from where i was unless ya behind the goals at horsham end.

wonder what the highest gate wimmera had for a grand final? last year they fell short of Horsham District

i think you'll find if you do your sums properly there was more at the district league grand final as it cost $12 yesterday and $10 for district league so get your facts right

 

[Leather Magnet]

The extra $2 is for the better standard of footy. Hope you enjoyed seeing the best in the district go around Mothy.
