Credit where credit is due for this article in the Addy. I think it gives a pretty clear picture where Kyneton is at and while they are struggling I don't think it is all gloom and doom. Apart from the 'big four' I don't see why they couldn't beat anyone else at home and perhaps a few away. Watch supporters come out of the woodwork when a team starts to have a few wins.
Greenman can confirm that Serge will coach, he is the boss. Greenman will doing what he does best.....drink cans and eat pies during the game. Hope for the sake of both clubs that a big crowd turns up......should be huge with Super rules playing before the senior game.......four games of quality football with a huge history between the 2 clubs. BB..where will you be hiding??? If we look over at the Gisborne coaching box will we see you? Its your shout BB...cold cans for all.....put your short arm in your long pocket.......hunt deep for your wallett..............spray it with Mortein to kill the moths and buy Greenman and Kings Army a can after the game.
I am the president of the Kyneton footy club. Ox Law dirk with all your replys i was wondering what you do on a Saturdays. I would be keen to talk to you as that would get our numbers up to 33 and your knowledge would be able to solve all our problems.
Travis, sorry to hear that Kyneton has become the first club in the history of country footy to struggle with numbers because most clubs are complaining about having too many players. Your on the right track getting Dirk involved because he appears to have unlimted knowledge and a real positive attitude.
No mate is is not total rubbish. Players go to the Pioneers or the Bombers because if they want to play in the AFL THEY SIMPLY DO NOT HAVE A CHOICE.That is total rubbish, the players want to play with the pioneers or the bombers; no one rips the heart out of the clubs, the clubs need to work hard to make sure the players come back!! Individuals have a choice where they play!!
Latest from the jungle drums young Dustin Martin - (Castlemaine) is playing for the Borough - I did hear that one in the Queens Arms so the drums may be because of the happy hour. Big pick up if true can anyone confirm??
Great work from Paul and the Fatman. Not only for signing two significant players but to silence some of the knockers who seem hellbent on bringing down the Tigers.
I think it is just great to get the comments of the Kyneton President on this site - well done! We can all see the direction this club is going and I for one think there is a light at the end of the tunnel for the tigers.
The Tigers will do well under the stewardship of the Ox - god knows the great man has been telling me for years what is wrong with the club, so I have absolutely no doubt he will provide the answers.
Nah, he'll do very well, the challenge is this - I used to be a local 10 years ago and had/still have a real passion for the club but the demographic has changed much in that time.
By that I mean not only people moving in and out of the town but also the demographics of sports, ie. kids playing soccer, basketball, etc.
I was talking to the Ox last night over a few knowledgible beers, and rather than trying to fight that, he wants to embrace other sporting entities, and indeed other footy clubs in the region so that they can work in together and make the community and everyone stronger. (I hope I aren't talking out of school here mate)
That thinking and attitude will only broaden the appeal of the club to the community and return it to it's rightful place as a pillar.
Can any Bendigo based club claim that, indeed, apart from probably Gisborne, can any other country club claim to be a pillar of their community?
As an aside, I see King's Army is still posting absolute shit - why are North supporters such tortured souls?
Was at the game between Square and North Shore. Square won by 100 points on the dot. 136-36. Very very dominant performance by the boys.
