Adrian Hickmont to coach the Bombers in Bendigo - Source Big Rexy 3AW

There were two teams in Brisbane - the Bears and the Lions!

Also coached the Ballarat Inter-league side for 4 years (1981-1984)

There is another in Qld - anyone know?


Others - all correct

Those are correct, but I was looking for all sides including who he is coaching now.

I mentioned John Northey (following the plea for mercy) who coached the Saints Reserves in the early 80's. Can anyone name the sides he's coached since then?

Geoff + John Bourke-Finn were the identical twins. Geoff kicked 100 goals+ in the CHFL playing for Ballan FC. They both played for Redan FC in the BFL - (where John Northey coached 4 consecutive premierships with Graeme Gellie playing in them), prior to Northey joining the Saints as the reserves coa...

Sorry Les, I had Damian Bourke in mind - when I was thinking about the "big Geelong ruckmen". I think he was captain in the late 80's.

The big Geelong ruckmen Les? If so, I don't think so - but not sure about that!

Correct OWTS - now can you name the identical twins, with flat feet,from the Ballarat zone, who tried out for the Saints at or about that time?

No - but Barry was the first name of the relation who played for the D's in the 70's.

I know the harder I work the luckier I get.
Perhaps luck might start running the Saints way once they've done the hard yards.
The Cats have set the height of the bar boys - now lets jump over it.

Late 70's to early 80's

I'm overwhelmed with banality of the responses so far and underwhelmed with the paucity of evidence to support an absolute bombshell of a conspiracy theory.
Mods can you lock this thread off and I'll bury what I've been told?

The twins were related to two very well known players, one played for the tigers and the other for the dees.

you acctually consider yourself a poster?

Would a poster be someone who posts?

That'd be an 'imposter' wouldn't it ?

Do any Forum Members know of a link (business or personal) between two of the newest club Chairmen named above?

Nope - not the Zarzoffs.

One of the twins kicked more than 100 goals in his home town country league.

[quote="Bono"][quote="Art Vandelay"]One thing that everyone should have learnt from visiting footy forums on the web is that most of the speculationa nd inuendo turns out to be false. It is so easy for some anonymous poster to come on and reveal that a close 'source' linked to cl...

Hint - They were from the Ballarat zone.

SEN last night were giving Sheldon all the credit for the great trades.

If he's been given the chop Bono, then surely they would not do it unless they had someone to fill his shoes.

Can you name who his replacement will be?

I heard pretty much the whole rant - and there's no need for an apology -he did carry on like a goose. If he listens to the tape, he will be regretting a lot of the things he said. Just hope it does not come back and bite the StKFC on the arse! I'll fess up also - as I could not resist ringing in an...
