Look to see Dimboola in the bottom half next year as you have diffently seen the last of Peter Macfarlane who will be moving back home!
Should have been home this year but a last ditch effort by John Saxton($$$$$$$$$) changed Macfarlane's decision!

 

[Flick Pass]

I think its only a fifty for a during a kick in unless the runner has said something then I suppose he could give him 50.

 

[roaring tiger]

Young(old) ralphy from nhill was umpiring that game, not sure if it was him though...but it sounds like a stupid decision he'd make

Nhill Tigers i hear that Travis Lannin is heading back to Kaniva Leeor next year. Is there any truth in this rumour? If you don't know Animal might.

 

[Footyz Life]

Interesting to see what coaching appointments will be made for `08. There is a few jobs up for grabs and a few uncertainties.
Horsham- Farr/Bunworth, Bunworth has retired.
Stawell-Power
United-Cassidy, word is cobber has had enough.
Dim-Everett ?
Min/Mur- ?
Nhill-Davidson
Warrack-?
Ararat-? word is turner and will get a few back to the rats.
Saints-Kelm/Broadbent? Interesting one now watson and wards are staying at Harrow Balmoral, Maybe Burdett?

Any thoughts or whispers.

I am hearing whispers that Josh Mibus is looking to take on a coaching job somewhere. Any thoughts on any possible clubs that he could bob up at???

[WORKER]

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!

Who cares what he said and what he said obviously worked by the boys winning the premiership two weeks later. Well done coach

Don't worry i was talking later with other umpires who were there and they said no way was that 50 Ralphy mistaked the runner for a Ararat Runner when it was Saints Runner
he makes the stupidist Decisions ever seen him give 50's left right and centre

i'm Happy Goal umpiring i had 2 choices 1 Goal Umpiring or 2 Boundary umpiring what i use to do for The Brim Football Club seniors and goal umpired the Under 16's and Under 13's they liked me doing it because i could throw in high and a fair way in not high and short throw .

 

[NHILL TIGERS!]

oh thats good..wouldnt wanna see a local nhillian the subject of all the abuse....so i wonder who the other ump was......

no matter what they give they can't please everybody no matter the decision given
field gets more abused better having INdependent umpires then having Club umpires who would make more Mistakes .
Like the juniors umpires were there been complaints of Cheating by club field umpires in particualar if they have kids playing by giving them votes for say 1 kick or not doing much more in the Horsham DFL not Wfl.

The 'Rats are signing an absolute gun for next year, Aaron Locke. Great Western have supposedly offered him a truck load of money to join them but he wants to play Wimmera League.

are you sure great western offered him a truck load of $$ or are you creating rumours? what sort of $$ are we talking about? Was he asked as a coach or player?

Hey Kakkapo wheres this gun come from and where did he play last year?

 

[Crazy 88]

He would make a handy backup ruckman in the magoos.

He is definately not a gun, think he played a couple of games early with the Ararat Eagles this year and failed to trouble the statisticians... Kakkapo don't start stupid rumours....

 

[kakkapo]

Hey Kakkapo wheres this gun come from and where did he play last year?

As far as I know he comes from St.Arnaud. Jump on the North Central thread and see if anyone can tell you about him.

 

[TooTiredToPlay]

the blokes had 18mths off through serious groin trouble it would be good to see him make a full return but cant see him making an impact early on

 

[mothydog]

Well well well, what an effort by the Horsham boyz hey!! 5 in a row, great effort and even better that it was over Stawell!!

Its a pitty such a great day was soured by the pitaful umpiring decision awarded to the ST Micks team in the 14's, costing the young rats their so much deserved premiership win!! I have held off all week in an attempt to sus out what had actually occured on the weekend before posting my thoughts on the incident!!

Now before I go on I must point out that I do not play for Ararat, nor am I a supporter of the Ararat Football Club. I dont need to put my name to this posting as the majority know who I am, so if you dont, then go back through my posts and you'll figure it out!!

To all involved in what happened in the 14's and to whom are quite annoyed at how this could possibly happen, don't just point the finger entirely at the umpire(although there should be a thorough invetigation into the dismal decision that he made, regardless of what grade it was), what about the ST Micks Football Club, ecspecially the runner and to a lesser extent their coach!! Surely they should take the blame for this also, as and read into this next statement as you will, "maybe it was a ploy to win the game"!! From the many different people that I have spoken to in regards to this, say that Ararat was robbed!! And that aint just from Ararat people themselves but also from people up Horsham way as well, who have said that the decision was wrong and cost Ararat the victory!!

Now onto the runner, Harvey Lang if I stand corrected. Now Harvey surely you would not stoop this low would you............wrong that I am, as you did! All along you knew what you were doing and when the decision was made you had the chance to correct it yourself. But now you stooped to a new low, which is commonly known as a "CHEAT"!!

As for the coach, Kennedy or whatever your name is, tell me you didn't know what was going on!! Of cause you did..............all tarred with the same brush I'd say!! Now this is only a little rumour that I heard, but apparently Kennedy was over heard calling the young rats whilst walking past the Ararat box after the game, "Losers"!!

I think I have said enough here but in the end the whole thing is a disgrace and not a way you want to win a final or any game for that matter!! But if all this is true and I believe it to be, then these people should never show their faces in public again because they are down right Fu@#en Cheats. And for the umpire involved, well how much of an involvement did he really have.......................

For the league, stand up and show some balls, investigate it appropriately, dont just shy away from the issue.......Junior football or not it is unacceptable. I know the decision cannot be overturned but penalties can be handed down!!

TO the Moderators.................Please leave this posting on so people can see what has happened, I know this comes across as a personal stinging attack, however I truly believe that it is necessary!!

And lastly but by know means the least, to the ST Micks juniors, you young kids I also feel sorry for because it is not your fault and you lot did a great effort in making the Grand Final and have obviously earned your achievements, so well done!! I just pitty that you are involved in with what is commonly known as "CHEATING"!!

A saying for all to remember if you want to stoop as low as the above has,

"Cheats Never Prosper"!!

now now michael i know for a fact you were wanting stawell to win the seniors as i was talking to you during the week, also by the way you are supporting the ararat sides do we take it you and the self proclaimed "big show" heading there next year

 

[wallyon]

Terry Arnel can be added to the horsham departures , but he hasn't made his mind up which club he'l be at.

Home to the Mallee or pissed off with someone at City Oval?

 

[babba80]

Well there was approx. 3 minutes to play in the last with Ararat 4 points up and one of the Saints kids had a mark about 50 or so out and was no chance of converting!! The umpire then in his wise wisdom gave a 50 metre penalty to the Saints kid for what he thought the Ararat runner to be too close to the play and coaching his side!! Funnily enough both the Ararat runner & drinks boy were on the bench when the accused incident occured!! Consequently the Saints kid converted and the rest is history because that won the game for you guys!!

My point in what I was trying to get across in my previous post was the fact that the Saints Runner had the chance to front the umpire, however chose not too..............which means only one thing!! This is a very unfortunate thing for the young Rats as the are obviously devistated at not only loosing but how the game was won...........by the umpire!!

After viewing the U14 GF and not as a player or a supporter of any club in this league i think that decision will go down as the worst $uck up ever made,which brings me to say that horsham sides in this league are well and truly looked after by a long way..
As for harvey LANG ex horsham united player who i had a lot of respect for as a kid growing up you my friend are a CHEAT AND A DIRTY RAT
The only reason this league might be going down is BECAUSE THE SECOND RATE UMPIRES ARE BEING PAID OFF TO RUIN A GAME IE U14GF.
The wimmera need to find umpires that are not from the area so theres no FAVORTISM especially to HORSHAM sides.
Closing i will say The great game is being $ucked in many ways but you need umpires to umpire that arent associated with or any club/players in the League..

Yes I heard it was ordinary, But BABBA maybe you should take up umpiring as I believe it is not as easy as it looks from the boundary.

How easy do you want then clown for an U14 game that umpire needs to go and walk in front of a bus.He obviously was a mate of HARVEY CHEAT LANG...
