Re: Official GVFL thread
sorry cookie, I know my opinion is highly respected on here but as I am overseas at the moment I don't think I will be able to comment on the gv much this year. guess I am relying on you boys to tell me what is going on. as you'd know though my posts are generally biased towards rochy so it won't come as a surprise that I am tipping them to finish in the 6 - apart from that though I have got nothing.cookie33 said:

Re: Official GVFL thread
As someone who is relatively uninformed of the GV league these days, I was surprised to see you had Rochy so low this year. I thought they'd done alright over summer in terms of holding on to their players and recruiting? Is this a general consensus?

Re: Official GVFL thread
Bundoora's ground became unavailable due to one of their sides making the cricket grand final or something like that.
Bundoora v Seymour has been cancelled and now replaced with Seymour v Bundoora (at Kings Park).kanga fan man said:

Re: Official GVFL thread
Should be a close encounter. In fact...i reckon it will be a nil all draw...as there are no goal posts on the re-vamped Kings Park...and according to the ground staff...they haven't arrived yet...so they can't put them in.
Although the oval has been measured out for them.
Looks like a few wheelie bins will be the goal posts! Or we'll get the Vic Kick posts, probably suit the standard of footy which will be played.

Re: Official GVFL thread
Very hard to put ladders together at this time of year with so much happening on the recruiting front. One thing for sure Echuca will be big improvers, picked up 6 real quality players. All premiership players, all key position or on ballers. Also get full season out of Butler and Durie who both missed significant parts of last year. Plus they have a couple of other recruits expected to be good senior players. Thats upto 10 different names. Losing Archard will hurt them, but that's about all as only lost 1 or 2 others. Plus they only play Seymour and Euroa once which makes for a good draw. They also have winning culture and you would think they would want to hit back hard after last year. Not a team that goes in peaks and troughs been consistantly in finals for many years and i'm tipping they will be this year again.

Re: Official GVFL thread
Ive had a bit of spare time this morning while the taxi is in being serviced, so went through the 2006 draw game-by-game to work out a ladder. Ive allowed for home ground advantage etc, and tried not to favour the lions too much.
Looking at it week to week, it also allows for those sides with a pretty good draw. As no left foot pointed out, Echuca have a reasonable draw but I reckon the standout is Mooroopna. They also only have to meet Euroa and Seymour once, and I would say they will have a better side on paper than Echuca so should do pretty well in those 50-50 games that can go either way.
Here's how it panned out:
Euroa
Benalla
Seymour
Mooroopna
Mansfield
Rochester
----------
Echuca
Shep Bears
Shep United
Tatura
Shep Swans
Kyabram

Re: Official GVFL thread
Yep, that's precisely what has happened and now the bluddy thing looks as big as Waverley!!!
It's also been resown. The Expo wasn't allowed on the ground this year so hopefully the Lions can look forward to playing on a pristine surface this year.

Re: Official GVFL thread
Hey mate, nah im can promise you im not Brad Cordy, in fact i have never even heard of him or even seen Tatura train or anything. I follow the clubs who have VFL players on there list that i was involved in and it was mainly at Preston and Coburg, as Tatura,Euroa and Seymour have players from both clubs playing there i will follow them closely. Last year i followed Benalla and Seymour more than others and this season i will follow Tatura and Euroa more than the other 2 hence my reason for wanting to know if Brad Cordy can play.

Re: Official GVFL thread
Not a bad attempt at all. As has been stated Echuca, Shep United and Tat will prob be the other main finals contenders, but who knows.
The reqruiting over the past 3-4 weeks by Echuca and Tat will put a lot of pressure on Rochy to overcome a tough draw and make the finals again. Wins early in the year will be very important for these teams and Rochy plays Seymour and Euroa in rounds 2 and 3 I think. Could be telling come end of the year.
No Heart - do you agree Seymour would love to finish third again?? Has to be the best spot to finish, especially given Seymour will most likely be a step above whoever does finish sixth.

Re: Official GVFL thread
As we've seen over the past couple of years, 3rd is a good spot to be as long as you can get over that first week of the finals. That said, you want to finish as high as you can and start the finals with a double chance - so give me 1st or 2nd anyday.ilovetogetblind said:
Re: Official GVFL thread
Ant Jess, you might be able to shed some light on the Echuca team? You seem to be in the know how with Rochy and Echuca. The likes of Reyne, Martin, Wilson and Laidlaw. What is the go with these players?
ANT JESS said:He is in the process of changing from full-time employment to full time study. So unfortunatly we may not hear as much from ECHUCABOY for a little while.

Re: Official GVFL thread
Someone asked what's happening with these guys this year:
Reyne - Applied for clearance to Echuca United in the MFL (not sure how keen Echuca will be to slide it through)
Martin - Possibly a little wearied by age, heading out to Lockington Bamawm United to run around in cow s h i t and eat flies.
Wilson - Has moved to WA and playing for North Beach I think (whoever Billy Duckworth's coaching), pretty successful club over there in the last couple of years.
Laidlaw??? - I don't think the big fella's played in 2-3 years!? If the knee was to hold up I'm sure he would be a force to be reckoned with, unfortunately, not to sure how much of it's still holding together. Motivation to play could also be a factor which I believe is currently lacking.
Someone else also mentioned Murphy... He's heading overseas for 12 months or so in April/May so won't be playing anywhere this year.

Re: Official GVFL thread
Ins: Brad Smith who will fill a key position spot at centre-half forward.
Josh Maddox who is a GVFL representative midfielder.
Youngster Chris Casey will play regular senior football this year after spending most of last year with the Bendigo Pioneers.
Picked up two player from the SANFL, who look like they wiill be handy inclusions.
Echuca did not perform well at the latter part of last year. Plenty of younger players around the club that can step up and play a bit of senior football. Should be more competitive than at stages last year.
Outs (that I know of): Dale Reyne (Echuca United), Matt Martin (Lockington-Bamawm United), Ben Wilson (Perth), Rhys Archard (Adelaide), Craig Frost (Echuca United), Shaun Murphy (overseas).Doozy_Man said:

Re: Official GVFL thread
for those tipping the swans and kyabram as last 2, there are some recruits for them. swans have picked up 5 players, 3 on ballers and 2 of them key position. apparently all quality and have played good metro footy. kyabram have picked up 2 players from darwin, on ballers and 2 others from melbourne, key position. thats to a side that finished 7th last year. both clubs dont have all these on transfers list but both think they will be more than competitive this year.

Re: Official GVFL thread
Sounds like they have a good side then for 2006. The depth will be a concern again I think. I have witnessed laidlaw play against Rochy once, and i really hope he plays again. Every Rochy player is scared S***less of him. Echuca need a dominent figure out there. Murphy will be a loss. Gee there are some players from the GV playing in Perth at the moment! Did Wilson move over there because of other Echuca players there currently?

Re: Official GVFL thread
From What I heard, Willo took the chance to take the move away from home, similar to the reasoning of Rhys Archard when he said he was leaving.
You're right about Silas. I remember a game at Rochy when he went off his brain, along with Mark Heritage. One of the most entertaining matches I had seen in a long time.

Re: Official GVFL thread
Your on the money Ant Jess, I dunno bout this studying caper, I'd much prefer sitting at a desk talking poo on BigFooty.
Reckon it mighta been a game in Rochy in 2003, Sim McCarty gave heritage one of the best punches to the face I have witnessed. Was a very entertaining game that one. it would be great for Silas to come back and have a run around, it would definetly get the crowds to the game!
Echuca v Rochy rivalry has dropped off a lot lately, hopefully the one wholikestogetblind could stir something up for us spectators.
Met one of the big blokes Echuca have picked up and the man is a mammoth, nearly crushed my little bitch hands, will be more than a handful for opposition sides.
Yeah the other boys are on the money with the departures and gets etc. from wat I can gather.
Unfortunatley for young Chrsi "Poffa" Casey he has pretended to do his knee and will miss 3-4 weeks, knowing him he is probably crying about it right now. Really looking forward to having a few frothies and watching Rochy v Echuca, going to be a belter!
