have heard that phil davis has signed to coach newlyn next year, will his sons be joining him there??
i think it would be wise if you change your name from confusia say to bunninyongs mushroom because it is clear that they keep you in the dark and feed you shit.your club pay good money to players just like most other clubs in the five.Simple fact is bunninyong is good at winning 2s flags year in year out and thats were it ends.blaaahhh!!!! no not true. not sure of exact figure but think he is on $280 a game which is cheap for a playing assistant coach especially considering the amount of work he puts in.(no money per goal)i know he knocked bach big dollars from dunnstown and some bfl clubs as he lives in the young and had respect for the club when playing for springbank,
he would also be the only one over $200 a game and only about 7 players are on money.as i have stated before buninyong is full of very loyal people and some great home grown talent, that have and will get big dollars thrown at them from other clubs and different leagues. being a great club and being surrounded by people who have come up through the ranks is how we keep our players and attract new ones not with filthy amounts of money.
welcome back Learmonth, yeah im not a fan of the points system, prefer the system i mentioned earlier in the year where the top sides from the previous year play each other twice and the bottom teams also play each other twice.Hello all, Am still pondering but thats footy!!!
Learmonths Prelim side valued 36 points so higher than both Hep & Dford. Highest points when to Ty Veldhuis (Dford) & Miller (Clunes) 5 points, Leyonjelm 3 points from Nhill Major League. Have a lot of 1 pointers as well Gudge, Wade Veldhuis, Brad Hubble, Tim Sinclair, Dave Wright, Paul Rogan, Jason Duffy, Leon Davey, Jon & Sam BAsham, James Sobey, Powell, Azz Davies, Robertson & Lee. This is due to locals or players like gudge & Wade being there for 3 years.
Congratulations to Hepburn...Best side won the flag!!
Pity about the ground, always windy and crap atmosphere...Bring teh game back to learmonth....Run Busses and crowd would be very similar..+ a better spectacle for all...
Now a long pre-season ahead...............& recruitment ahs already stated...
As for Buninyong not paying.... Your kidding yaself mate..All clubs do so stop denying.
Bunga getting all these Redan players, wernt they doing it last year.. They will get Justin Rumble but will stuggle to get any senior players.. If any they will be 2's players.
Rumors have begun.............Good for footy
heard ballan have signed tommy mullane grant as asst for next year
welcome back Learmonth, yeah im not a fan of the points system, prefer the system i mentioned earlier in the year where the top sides from the previous year play each other twice and the bottom teams also play each other twice.
EG.. round 1 2009 would be hep v dfd lear v wau buny v duns bunga v beau new v clu bal v gor cres v spr... some great games .. makes it harder for the top teams playing each other twice and easier for the bottom teams playing each other twice.
It gives the middle sides the incentive to work hard over pre season, knowing they only play the top sides once.. If its true about Bungaree's recruits then they should be right up there, having only to play the middle of the ladder sides of 08 twice.
our first four games next year ( remember its a rotating draw ) are against Clunes Beaufort Creswick Dunnstown..... if they were against the other four top clubs of 08 and we had a couple of early losses, then the pressure starts to mount.
i just think this system is a lot fairer for everyone.
To answer your question dickin cider ( and great name, we all like to be there ).. always dissapointed to lose locals to Daylesford, but a lot left when they wanted to play at a higher level when they were in the BFL.. The dogs had 8 former burra players run out on Saturday.. i will try and answer them individually for you
Cronin.. played reserves for us and left after 2000, his family are Daylesford
Rodgers.. talented player, his old man holds our record number of games with 319. wanted to play at a higher level. you cant deny him his wish. left after 2000, came back then left again after 2003
L Adams.. played here in 1996, only one year won the B & F then went to Nth Brat
Cook.. played in two flags with us.. has always rotated between the two clubs, his age was against him this finals series
Thompson... left after 2000, since thommo we have had Barras, Raak and Cox kick 100, were happy with what we ended up with
K. Cummings.. spent a half of 07 with us, it didn't work out so he went back.. you have to try these things
Jenkin... left after 2000, he would be very handy in our side, family is also a Daylesford one though
Thomas... laft us in 05, and bobbed up at Victoria Park after playing at Melton South

Hepburn's B & F was held tonight with Ross Mann winning by 12 votes, had a very consistant year. Lee Cox 2nd two votes clear of Andy McKay. Matt Peake finished 4th.Did T. Saunders get BOG, he was, dominant in the 2's. Andy mac was awesome to watch, Dford did not have a match for him. Have Hepburn had their B&F yet if so can anyone tell me who got what?
Hmmm that's all well and good but if any of the 'bottom' sides sneak into the finals they will get belted by the top sides. Doesn't really solve anything.
As it seems that the CHFL is paying larger amounts of money to players than most surrounding leagues I think the only way to try to even out the competition is to introduce salary caps. No doubt this is not what players would want’.
I don’t mean the sort of salary cap where the amount is set for the whole team either.
I mean a maximum amount set that any one player can be paid (including fringe benefits). Firstly this will stop clubs luring players with money. Its hard for anyone to knock back the amount of money being offered in some cases, even the most loyal of loyal can be forgiven for being tempted and leaving clubs. Idealy the amount set would be relevent to the league level. Clubs may try to pay cash etc but as it wouldnt be in the contract players would have to risk if they get the extra. Audits would be necessary annually to check for inconsistences and punishment should be high for offences of paying extra.
Travel could also be paid on a km basis along the lines of the tax or travel allowance employees receive, and that same travel money could also paid to volunteers.
This will account for players and volunteers who have the extra expense of travelling.
So basically a great player will receive the same amount no matter who they play for so recruiting would take more than just extra money, clubs would need to sell themselves and the training facilities/staff etc.
All the extra money could be put into recruiting and training umpires, renewing facilities such as drought proofing grounds, updating clubrooms, solar hot water and most importantly the juniors; maybe cover the fee’s as another means of getting players and ensuring cost doesn’t prevent a new legend entering the field.
my two bobs worth
Walsh did do pretty well to win. What a star. See his mark in the granny??Hepburn's B & F was held tonight with Ross Mann winning by 12 votes, had a very consistant year. Lee Cox 2nd two votes clear of Andy McKay. Matt Peake finished 4th.
In the two's Nick Walsh won by 2 votes . Trent Saunders and Matt Layfield equal 2nd.. matt williams 4th

Rumor has it that Darley wants Lee Cox back, but i think Darley wont match his salary that he has at hepburn now, everyone is saying hepburn have high match payments.
Andy Mckay would be handy at Bacchus marsh. they need all the help they can get.
