Re: Official GVFL thread

Good work Rowey....An official GV thread is the way to go.

Yes, must say I'm impressed with the Shepp News liftout...looks like a lot of time and effort has gone into it.

One rumour floating around is the return of Shepp United coach Brenton Cooper to the field.

It's beliebed he's contemplating lining-up in Saturday's practice match, with a view to lining up round one against Tatura.

I recall hearing that 2 or so weeks ago. I only remember Cooper from years ago when he dominated. He hurt his knee didn't he?

The Shepp News lift-out is very good. Provides excellent info on the whole area. They should be congratulated.

Re: Official GVFL thread

Think it was chronic hamstring BradRowe. Could be wrong though. Worrying times for my beloved Tat, lot of quality players moved on and not much coming back in. They would want to hope they have some extremely talented juniors.

Re: Official GVFL thread

Boys. Brenton Cooper will not play this week (practice match against Mooroopna), and will not play for United at all this year. He has a chronic hamstring straing similar to Nathan Buckley's injury.
"You can run around at 3/4 pace, but you just can't step up a pace without fear of it going,'' was what Coops said about his injury.

Re: Official GVFL thread

Does anybody have any information on what happened in weekend practice matches...

I know Shepp beat the Swans by around 5 goals, while United hammered Mooroopna by 10.

Rochester were beating Tongala 57 to 14 about half way through the 2nd quarter. Tongala had about 3 players that played reserves and then had to play in the ones.

Rochester looked OK. They didn't have many talls and were missing quite a few, like Chris McCarty. The new Bendigo boys looked pretty good.

Overall, the standard wasn't that good.

Got hold of the stats from the United-Mooroopna game...Steve Haezleman 40 possies, Danny Stevens 38 and 3 goals...Forys kicked 5...

Interesting times.

looks like the Belconnen(i should say ex)boys did alright,Forys and Hazelmann,and can i possibly get Danny Stevens on temporary transfer?stats like that in GVFL equates to 90 touches and 13 goals in Sydney.cmon Danny its for the good of footy!!

Re: Official GVFL thread

How are the boys from VFL going at Seymour and Benalla?? I know Saad Saad is a gun he can jump,run,kick,mark the kid can do anything. What about Adam Cosham and Shannon Downey the former Coburg Tiger youngsters? I saw the Burgers play Werribee last season and Adam Cosham can find the footy seems to be a tad slow but is able to get in and under and get a hard ball which is what makes him a very good player and a must have type. Also on that day Shannon Downey played he impressed me and a few others alot, he is very very smart around the goals and is exciting to watch has that uncanny ability to get front and square everytime more of a match winner than Cosham but both are very handy pick ups and should go real well.

I will be real interested to see how Darren Hulme the Hottons and fat Mensch carry Mansfield this season, no doubt Hulme will dominate i got see him play alot last year because we always get to the Northern Bullants games to see how our young guys are going and Hulmey should be a real pick up, 30+ possie a game player.

Boys just watch young Saad Saad play, he would be my tip for the league B&F a bit of a hot head though which could hold him back.

Anyone wanna know anymore about the AFL pick ups or the VFL guys let me know i have a fair bit of info on all of them.

Thought Downey was a defender when he was at Coburg? Where do you see him lining up at Benalla?

Do you know how tall is Saad Saad?

Cheers

Downey was a defender for Coburg and he did some solid jobs however i think towards the end of the year in 2003 he played on the ball againts Bullants and kicked a few smart goals that he crummed.

Saad Saad is about 5ft10 or there abouts, watch out for him he can really play. Are you keen Football follower footyman? and in particular the GVFL?

Downey is injured...Cosham looks the goods and will partner A.Stevens on-ball at the Saints...

In some other GVL news...former Tatura coach Danny Stevens won't play when his new club Shepp United meet the Bulldogs on Saturday...he's making the move to Sydney, however this won't be one of his 12 games.

Chris Atkins from Kyabram has suffered a bad hamstring injury according to my operatives, and may miss a number of weeks.

Shepp United's Matt Forys is believed to have suffered a broken hand in an off-field incident.

Shepparton's Anthony Mellington is suffering some type oif back injury, and is unlikely to line-up against Tongala round one.

Benalla will wear St.Kilda's home jumper this year, after spending its first 7 years in the GVL in the strip the Saints wore in the 1997 grand final against Adelaide.

Mate your a egg head, anyone could have got a kick at Lower Plenty and be a star the club is a rabble. He will find it alot harder in the GV the standard of football is alot higher than DVFL and to call him a star at DVFL level is overated.

Ever heard of a bloke by the name of Izac Thompson from the Bulldogs?? go watch him play a game at Werribee reserves and tell me if he is a gun or Zac Dawson at Box Hill. You my friend are a twit, go and play some more local 18s.

Re: Official GVFL thread

Signh is seeking a clearance to Mooroopna after kicking eight for Griffith at the weekend. It's likely to be a drawn out battle because he signed a contract at Griffith. Sounds like Mooroopna will be foolish to get someone who seems like a mercenary, but they've done it before I suppose.

Matt Forys did NOT injury his hand in an off-field incident. Just gossip - he will line-up for United after kicking five at the weekend against Mooroopna in a practice match.
