VAFA forum

[mark zanotti]

I would just like to take this opportunity to wish all those teams in the VAFA the very best for this week and the rest of the season.

[Magnum PI]

They tried to shut us down but we will not be silenced!

For all your VAFA news and rumours this the place to be...

[ben.carbonaro]

Yes, I do remember when that happened.

Keep up the good work with all the VAFA news, information and results. No longer involved as an official at VAFA level, having done stats with Rupertswood (d2) for two seasons and now working with Werribee in the VFL.

Still intend on getting down to watch some footy at Rupo, as have most of our VFL games this year are played on Sundays.

[SonOfScray]

Looking forward to kicking things off this Saturday. Been a long summer thats for sure.

[topgun 18]

Any results from this weekends practice game?? I was lucky enough to witness a very high skilled intra club game b/n OEG. I must admit OEG look the real deal in 2005.

A massive pre-season for Murray Makris appears to have paid dividends...

[mark zanotti]

i confirm there were scouts video taping murray at the prctice match on sat. word is he has some interested parties from wa.

[Magnum PI]

Anyone know how Collegians went on the weekend?

I heard big things about this Makris a couple of years back. Apparently he was a big time soccer star in Greece before moving to Australia. Last I heard he was still learning the game but was a bit of a raw talent with huge upside. Lets just hope these WA rumours arent just that and something does come of it.

On a more local front, apparently Williamstown and Port Melbourne were very interested.

Parade got up by about 15 goals over Banyule. Banyule look like they're going backwards, the team on saturday fielded 3 Essendon Grammar rejects

Old Carey looked very good on the weekend. As a club in a lower grade, we played some skillful footy at times. Will get better as we develop and stick to the game plan

My sources tell me that he trained with Essendon over the summer but they decided on Zantuck instead... must be able to kick a footy!

Our boys were given a touch up by the Cardinals leaving our pre-season record at 2 - 2. Heritage was the focal point up forward while I rested my torn gooch. I should be ok for Round 1.

[BlueBoy41]

Swinburne got beaten by Elsternwick by about 20 pts.

In the under 19s, Ormond (which is in a lower division) ran over the top of Bentleigh in a firey encounter which saw six players sent off.

Guys, it's only an under 19s practice match!

[mark zanotti]

I know a good gooch specialist if your interested. His name is Dr Parker. He does this special massage with his tongue that is said to do wonders.

Sound's like Ormond are still angry men after losing the 2002 Under 19 Grand Final...

I suggest they knock it before Round 1...

Geez its great to see that Rupo have really kicked on in there footy! D2!! I wouldn't waste your time mate!! Give it away!!

that were they were or was it D1 a few years ago and lost a couple of back to back grand final to be promoted to B Grade. Good chance of losing another grand final and be promoted to A Grade :p :D

Ease up on the fella, he obviously loves his footy and his club, very passionate. Something suburban footy needs more of.

[The Slitherin' Snake]

can anyone explain what a gooch is?

[The Slitherin' Snake]

Portia, Mc Dermott and the Helmet???

correct.

[The Slitherin' Snake]

Does anyone from Old Essendon know how Chris Brook is progressing? I heard he showed glimpses in early practice games, but a Jay Schultz like incident may have dented his confidence and affected his level of play.

I've taken an interest in the boy since a mate of mine told me he also has the nickname the Snake. You can see why i like him...

[Magnum PI]

Which club are you from?

Always tough to say going into round one. I've got confidence in our boys and think we'll be competitive to say the least. Look for me, i'll be wearing number 11

[diamond8]

[Magnum PI]

Could someone tell me how young Pugwall (I think thats his name) has been going in the practice games at Essendon Grammar?

I've heard he's been performing brilliantly off the field - nightclubs, triathlons etc... but hasn't performed on the parker..I mean park.

The nightclub is where he does his best work...

Another BOG performance at Prince on Saturday night.

As usual he got the 4 points...

[The OC]

Having attended the Collegians vs Old Scotch game on saturday, it appears that Collegians have the best looking forward line in the VAFA.

Dixon was showing no signs of his reported gooch tear.

Does Magnum PI know a girl called "Fierce"?

I hear that Snake bloke has a sleeping problem.

[mark zanotti]

can anyone explain what a gooch is?

Of latin origin,the Oxford dictionary defines the Gooch as ' the area between ones anus and ball bag'

Does that help you out

[SonOfScray]

Which club are you from?
Started at NOBS last year.

[ben.carbonaro]

Well, I have moved onto a VFL club for stats work.

Is that what you mean ?

Thanks Zanotti, I can only imagine the pain of tearing a gooch. What sort of work would a Physio do to help mend a gooch injury?

[The Slitherin' Snake]

You must know Alphonse then. Ask around at training to see if anyone answers to the name of Alphonse

I think you've all got it wrong with "The Gooch"

From memory "The Gooch" was the villainous character that had numerous run-ins with the diminutive Arnold in the quality 70's and 80's sitcom "Different Strokes"

Now the world don't move to the beat of just one drum.....

Whatchoo talkin' 'bout, Willis?

Not sure what sort of physio- ask the collegians boys, they specialise gooch rehabilitation.

I agree... terrible odds TopGun, what are your thoughts as to the contenders for teh flag this year Eddie?

[Scott MacFlaherty]

I was speaking to a mate who plays at Brighton and he was saying they are confident against Old Essendon in round 1. Apparently Essendon have lost their gun CHF, and they dont rate the other big men likely to fill that void. Funnily enough a few Brighton players think that the weakness to Essendon is a guy called Flaherty

[Eddie Woloschek]

I agree... terrible odds TopGun, what are your thoughts as to the contenders for teh flag this year Eddie?

Wouldn't know about B Grade and neither would Sportsbet - i'm sure they are not fielding the VAFA 2nd Div!

Haven't heard too much from practice games in a Section, but if you take St Bernards and Xavs each way every year, you would have had a good decade.

[The Big Pineapple]

do they use the Gray st clinic?

Yes they do... ask for a physio by the name of Tracy and she will treat your gooch for $40!

[diamond8]

........

[The Big Pineapple]

I also heard that Essendon Grammar lost their CHF.

A couple of guys I know who play down there reckon that he went missing in big games and he was petty soft.

What have you heard?

The CHF wasn't as soft as thier FB... talk about going missing in big games!

[mark zanotti]

tracy??? thats my mums name.....and she is a physio....

Ill give u the tip, if Old Brighton take this Flaherty bloke lightly, they don't know what they r in for. Big things r expected for Flaherty in 05!!

[The OC]

I think Old Essendon's major losses will be Dragolo and Oxnam. Can't afford to lose 2 of the few hard nuts in the team.

Also, the former captain has gone o/s and his fiancee will be missed dearly from the sideline eye candy.

[The OC]

I hear blood nut and repeat plumper offender Chops Campbell is primed for a big season at Old Essendon.

I also hear that Parker has retired to become a triathlete travelling on the onelove circuit...??

Nah, I only do it part time.

However, it would be good if any statistician at either AFL or VFL level could make it a full time form of employment.

I think Old Essendon will thrive on having more room in the forward line now that Herro's massive nose will not be taking up space there anymore...

Dragolo and Oxnam have been replaced by hard nuts Hand and Ward...

But are they the hard nuts that will win you close games and be the first blokes in to defend their team mates in a brawl? I think not.

I hear Heritage's nose has been replaced by Danny Ryan's self proclaimed massive chest.

Anyhow, how will any team in B Grade shape up to the Old Essendon boys, I think St.Kevins will vouch for that...... Something about "sleeping with the light on", to quote a famous snowdog.

Are there any updates on Duggan's gooch?

Tim Duggan's gooch is on the mend but he isn't expected to play until round 5...

The forward line space left vacant by Herro's nose has quickly been filled by Flaherty's ego...

And any comment on the Old Essendon/St Kevin's saga will have to wait until after the court case because OEG have been placed on a media ban.

What did you think of what was effectively a trade between Old Essendon and Collegians, involving Heritage and Skurrie?

In my opinion Old Essendon clearly got the better end of the deal. I think Collegians may have landed themselves a washed-up, wannabe surfer and not much else

This colleague knows someone on the coaching panel at OEG and he categorically confirms that player Reiffel will not be lining up in the Seniors this week.

That's right... that's why we are in A grade!
