Re: Picola District FL - General Thread 2009
Everyone from last years side has confirmed they are staying bar 2 players. Mcculloch will play more games than he did last year.
Also PTF bit harsh saying our big fella's went missing. Fitzy had a quiet one in the prelim but played well in the 2nd semi. Braybon played well in both finals. Chris Occonnor was well beaten in the 2nd semi but he wouldnt of been the first and he wont be the last player to be taught a lesson by Aaron Purcell. He had no impact in the prelim but there were medical reason behind that. He had a great year and expecting him to have a big 2010.

Re: Picola District FL - General Thread 2009
I've never posted on here before, but I thought I needed to clear up a few facts about Andrew May for the un-informed.
The bloke never earned a cent in 6 years at Deni Rams, while winning three premierships and a best and fairest. He was named best on ground in two grand finals and you could argue Deni would have lost at least one without him.
At 23 he was offered and accepted good money at Balranald where he won another flag. Like a lot of blokes that went there (Bull and Seignior included) he left because they owed him money.
He went to Rovers when he came back for good coin, but not as much as other clubs offered.
As a teammate and clubman the guy has always been fantastic. Never misses training. First to club functions. Great bloke to have around the club.
He is still very close to his teammates from Deni Rams including the old blokes like Fisicaro and Marshall as well as all the young players.
If he leaves Rovers the same will apply.
Its the old story. If a player comes to your club for money, he's a gun. If he goes to another club, he's a mercenary.
Just lay off the unsubstantiated personal stuff, unless you want to add your name, teams played for, awards won, flags won, and a few Group Certificates to prove you never got paid to play (or any of your teammates).

Re: Picola District FL - General Thread 2009
Fair enough Gorillaman, you obviously have your finger on the pulse all things Deniliquin, and have some good info. Im not saying he is getting paid peanuts, but i would have thought he would be relatively cheap from the rovers point of view when you look at the broader picture and how much work he puts into the club. But you probably know more than i do.

Bode in the ruck I think deletes your ability to win contested footy once it hits the deck, significantly. He starts a large percentage of your attacks by winning the ball at ground level and uses his bigger frame to get the aggot out to your outside runners, like May, McCullouch, Benji.
I thought all your big blokes were soundly beaten in the prelim and had absolutely no impact, against a side who proved vunerable against sides with multiple tall forwards for the most part of the season.
From what I seen I thought McCullouch was the only one who could honestly say he beat his opponent in the Prelim.
You might think I'm being harsh CM and your entitled to your opinion, but I think it was quite obvious in the 2nd semi that your inside mids dominated early, your forwards didn't capatilise and inturn your mids were knackered and eventually outnumbered in the last quarter and a half. Game realistically should have been out of Jerilderies reach by half time.Braybon for mine didn't play well, Fitzy was OK early.

Yeah the business would struggle immensely if he left Rovers. It absolutley amazes me how it got going in the first place considering he played for Nullawil when it was established! You seem to have pretty strong ties to Mathoura Gorillaman, don't comment on things you OBVIOUSLY have no idea about.
As for Wakool, no one has committed out there, but it's no secret they have spoken to a couple of the boys. Pretty confident we won't lose anyone out there.

So the $200 a game he got the year before he went to Balranald wasnt taking money from the Rams. Your life must not be worth much if you are prepared to put it on that without any inside info.

DENI ROVERS IN TROUBLE
Robert Hogan caoching and may take the other Deni boys living in Echuca with him - Robo, Liam Bones Fleming, Alex and Leon.
Wakool - Taking a number of younger players on the promise of good coin.( Have Wakool paid for season 2007 yet?)
Andrew May fallout:- will be taking 10 blokes with him to Kerang or is it Mathoura or is it blighty or is it the Rams or is it?
Hay - From memory 6 - 7 blokes going to Hay including Bode and Fitzpatrik
LOVE SILLY SEASON

Your right there old man. Have heard that with those 23 players mentioned above leaving they are considering folding for a year and hopefully be back in 2011 with better numbers.
Silly season. i think it is getting closer to IMC season.

So the rumours suggesting Mick Flemming joining the Wakool committee might not be true ?

I think the rovers will be there abouts again. Like most clubs they may lose a few but will keep the majority of there key players, So id expext them to be in it again when the good weather hits in September.

Yep Mick gone. Apparently on $500 per committee meeting. Mick was again elected to president at Rovers AGM so he will be able to sign his own clearance making it impossible for us to keep him. The 4 of us left at Rovers have decided to change our mascot from the traditional Kangaroo to a black dog. We feel that it is more appropriate at the moment.

Come now CM Mick Flemming $500 a committee meeting? With the hourly rates accountants charge these days and how long footy meetings go for way too cheap! This rumour cannot be true!
A 50 % pay cut !!
