Tiger Watcher, in regards to Corio Bay's home court, they are getting renovations/upgrades. The whole lay out is getting demolished and will be completely different. When the upgrades have finished it will be one of the better facilities.

W'dyte need to get some runs on the board first before moving up to SCM...they had talent but could not put it all together last season.

Max Power, I can tell you this for a fact. Horsham have never poached players.. The guys from out of town who go and play there have shown interest in wanting to play in a country town and in front of big crowds for a year or so!
Why would they want to move up a division when they havent won a Div 2 championship yet?

Could be right on that one BobbyO. Most of those boys are playing locally together at the moment.

From what people around here have heard.
They have signed from last year:
Pickert
Bruce
Collier
Southerland
New players:
McSwain from Ballarat Miners
Dorward, who use to play with them.
Sammy Gazzo from Melb.
Dont know how correct this is but if they get those guys, some may say Div2 will be to easy for them!

From all reports out of Horsham. It looks as though they could easily make the step up to Div 1 with the recruiting they have already done!

This thread seems to have morphed into more of a discussion about Big V media ... so be it.
I think the shows during the year have been pretty good, but the "silly season" version is just asking for trouble and will cause angst amongst the league's key stakeholders - the Clubs. Not a great idea, find another angle.
Couple of things to improve:
1. The hosts need to figure out what will be funny for the audience, not what they think is hilarious. And guys, there are hundreds of players in the league, we are tired of hearing about the same handful each week.
2. As TW has commented, anyone on this sort of show has to be seen to be independent, you can't be biased. The main man is to close to one club - it's fine to have a club connection, but it should not be obvious (which it is).

That Callum kid on there is all yap.. He talks trash about everyone, but he has no game to back it up!
