GEELONG WEST ST PETERS v. ST JOSEPHS
St Josephs 8.4, 12.7,21.11,29.14 (188)
Geelong West St Peter 1.0, 2.3, 6.4, 6.5 (41)
doesn't look good for west saints!
Geelong West were pitiful. Should've lost by 200 points. Greeves played about a half on one leg and they still won by 23 goals. Andrew 'Kekka' Betz was dominant across half back.
How many under 18's players would've been in the Geelong West team. A few of them looked like they'd just reached puberty.

Great to see ex-Lara player Jimmy Allen getting two best on grounds in two games for Werribee in the VFL. On target to represent Victoria in the middle of the year. Some say Jimmy should've got drafted in 2003 but never did. Possiblely this year could be his last year to get picked up....
In saying this though, rumour has it (very strong rumour) that Lara FC have already signed him and Michael Sleeman (Werribee) for next year! How does that work??

18 Apr 2006, 13:52
Lol, dissapointed it wasn't 5-6 at least to be honest but the end result is the worst part. They did alright for a first game for a club but no one at our club really put in 4 quarters. Marsland played alright, still frustrates me when he has a shot rather than trying to pass it though! Just kidding I know he'll read that though. Menschs opponent actually got in the best as he really did an alright job on him but there is not much he can do when it comes in so easily
Sticko, how did the North Shore recruits Chris Parker and Lee Ormeno go on Saturday?

The latest news on Allan is that he will be returning to the GFL next year but unfortunately not the cats where many people had anticipated. Seems he will be re-joining good mate Aaron Rau at Sth Barwon where his old man is a life member. Still unsure about Sleeman but had talks with newtown over pre-season. keep you posted
Allan is a very good footballer what kind of money would he be looking at in the GFL? Needs every bit of it !! loves the punt

If Jimmy is chasing money, then Lara will be perfect for him. They have saved their money for hte past two years and will be on a huge shopping spree at the end of the season. Because really, who have Lara recruited thats big?? Hassett?? They offered Christian Shaw around 18 grand in the pre-season and still had plenty left in the kitty! Jimmy will make his own price!

I am pretty good mates with james allan and he is pretty keen to return to Lara one day, where it all began. But i wouldnt be expecting him back to soon as he has run into some pretty hot form with the werribee tigers. As for Sleeman i carnt say whether he will return to Lara or not as i dont know him personally but it would be great to have him back one day because he is a handy player as well as being great around the club.

GFC were a bit quick to delist Jimmy Allan (their loss). A quality player that found form late last seasonat Werribee & continuing to do so. Reminds me of a young Greg Williams. Just keeps winning the ball. Keep it up and the scouts will start to take notice.

Yeah can't say they did to much. No one really played that well to be honest. Shaun Nickelson would have got the nod for our best player if I did it because he never gave up the whole 4 quarters. Big game for us this week against West Saints. I hope we can hold them off. You don't happen to play for North Shore do you? Make a lot of sense if you did but then again it'd make a lot of sense if you were the guy in the green hat at my club with DC on the back!

Funny you say that lions.. Geelong West BLUE were about to play their first game at West Oval in the coming weeks but not too sure if that will happen due to the soil situation at West Oval. Apperently will be playing all their matches their in 2007?
Seriously though, what could Blue West bring to Red West? It's not like they will contribute a lot of funds! Not much talent, however they do have a young list. Can only think of Andrew Spengler returning to his old club.... It would be a backward step for each club...

Junior footy fight drama
Monday, April 24
Simeon Bennett
TWO junior footballers have been suspended from the Corio Football Club after violence erupted at an under-16s game at Leopold on Friday night.
Corio under-16s coach Doug Whiteford forfeited the game at three-quarter time after a Devils player allegedly abused and threatened an umpire.
Umpire Kevin Plumb said the fracas started when the player abused another 16-year-old umpire for a decision against Corio.
``I've come in between the two of them just to stop him getting to the other umpire and all of a sudden he's had a go at me,'' Mr Plumb said.
``It took four kids plus a trainer to stop him from getting at me.
``He said he was going to put a foot on my throat. It was pretty scary.''
Plumb then red-carded the player and reported him for abusive language.
He will front the Football Geelong Tribunal next Monday night to answer the charge.
After the game the player was allegedly seen trying to get into the locked umpires' rooms.
Early reports of an all-in brawl proved unfounded.
The game was registered as a 15.13 (103) to 0.0 (0) win to Leopold.
Corio president Frank Posilovic later contacted Leopold junior co-ordinator Lori Dahlhaus to apologise for the scenes and inform her two players had been suspended from the club.
Last night Posilovic declined to comment on the incident, while Whiteford could not be reached.
But Leopold under-16 coach Brendan Thompson said he was full of praise for the way his opposite number had handled the situation.
``He was fantastic. I was very happy with the way that he dealt with it,'' he said.
``I was addressing my players about the incident and he came across and said `Do you mind if I have a word to your players?'
``He spoke really well to my players. He apologised to them and said, `I'm sorry, but I don't want anything to go any further.'
``He's trying to do a great job there and good luck to them.''
Thompson said he would be happy to help Corio build its junior structures, including assistance developing a code of conduct.
Whiteford, a local church pastor and former policeman, took control of the under-16s earlier this year with a mission to help change the club's poor reputation.
Meanwhile, Geelong Junior Football manager Michael Limb said the league would make sure the incident was dealt with properly by the club.
``There was an incident, it was not a good incident, but it was dealt with, and my understanding is that the coach of Corio took appropriate action and stopped the game,'' he said.

Granted Nth Shore did play Leopold who are'nt the best team, but they do have two of the best midfielders in the league in Tony Brown and Cameron Wright and when you talk about hard running and fitness you do think of the midfield and they matched it with them no worries. they have also bolstered their backline with new players to combat Sth Barwons potent forward line, so yes, i do think they can match it with the other top sides

Geelong Amateurs Best and Fairest winner Ben Lavars has put in for a clearence to South Barwon.
He had been playing down at VFL side Werribee but must have been struggling for a game in their 2's and is going to South Barwon.
The kid can play and will be a good pick up for South.

Great response... just looking at the ressies results also, looks like they have great depth also. Sutej, Pyle, McLean, Lockwood, Doggy Ryan, Posterino, Arcoraci (should be ones), Ivermee.... lol.. list goes on. When do you blokes take on Sth Barwon?

Maybe not everybody reading this thread also reads the Addy website or is a local with access to the paper.
I actually thought the decision made by the Corio coach and his approach to the opposition deserved to be highlighted. It's easy to be negative about an issue like this but I think it was well handled by the Corio coach.No worries Grimmett,point taken:thumbsu:

Whispers you are spot on. Watched North Shore the first week and South Barwon the next.North Shore definately have some talent, but its going to take South Barwon to have an extremely bad day out to get beaten this year. Put your house on South Barwon for the flag with North Shore, Bell Park, St Marys, St Joeys making up the numbers in the finals.

Apparently Werribee Centrals lost to East Geelong today beacuse they had to many players on the ground after having two players red carded. The score at 3/4 time was 27 goals to 9 in favour of the Centurians but they lost all their score and lost the game. What an absolute :D:D:D:D up.

Dont know too much about Nth Shore reserves, although some of those names do ring a bell, especially ACORACI. Judging by the Addy SMS's you would think being ALL AUSTRALIAN RESERVES FULLBACK for the past seven years you would get a go at playing ones.

Congrats to all who were selected. Especially those in the GFL squad. Look at a few of the players, I reckon the following guys have played at state leavel football: Ben Armstrong, Jason McNamara, Thomas O'Dwyer, Nathan Braddock, Bernard Lynch?, Cory Bauer, Luke Forbes, Nicholas Bye, James Cail, Christopher Jones, Luke Buckland, Aaron Rau, Scott Thompson. Compared to BFL's Sam Clark.......
What a waste of time Football Geelong.
Would be a good game between BFL U/25's vs GDFL U/25's!

Can someone inform me what's happened to N&CFC this year? I was under the impression they were going to be at least as good as last year. I no longer get down to geelong these days so my appolagies if i've missed something obvious.

Newtown still have a good young squad, but you don't get consistency with that many youngsters in one side. They will climb the ladder in the next few weeks. They started with a good win over St Marys and have played North Shore ( always hard to beat ) and a much improved Colac. To be a competitive unit in the finals they needed to retain Jay Bett who returned home ( up bush somewhere ) to play after round one.
What about St. Joes pair Dan Madden and Andrew Betz, were they stiff to miss out on selection?

At 27, they are both too old.

Big call.... where will they kick all of their goals from? Bett was a mammoth lose and realisticly, Newtown will have to make up 70 gaols from last year. May have had a replacement in Grant Millian but he too has left the club. Could've gone one better then last year if they did have that key forward.

There's 123 goals that Newtown need to find this year with the loss of Bett, and the bloke Whispers forgot to mention, Michael Bright.

He is a highlight player at Anglesea but I reckon he would struggle on selection playing with a top GFL club, and I dont think he would be a standout, that probably goes for other former AFL players, Paul Lynch and Aaron Langsworth...imho

Aaron Langsworth never played AFL but i can tell you that he would easy be on of the top onballers in the GFL no question his only 27 still fit and has played at gfl level before and been very good picked in there rep side if i remember correctly as for Paul Lynch his body is getting on a bit but any GFL would love to have him in there foward line no questions asked i bet you he would still get you at least 4 goals a game his just to smart if it was not for his STRING He would have played 200 games at geelong

Langa and Lynchy killed it at Lara. Wasting their time at Port. Rayza can u put some full stops in there mate. Giving me a dead ache trying to read that!! hehehe

Its no secrete that there discission to play for port was for a truck load of money. Both Lynch and Langa’s are class acts that attract big dollars, But they have put there time in to football and deserve it good on them I say if you can get it why not ?

Yeah it's Terry's son.
One of Newtown's better players. Did his knee in a practice match this year.

:thumbsu: Agree totally, they no longer serious contenders with the loss of those players. The reason i said they will climb the ladder is because their draw must get a bit easier over the next few weeks. They've had a tough sart to the year. They'll finish in that 5th-8th bracket with teams like Colac Grovedale etc...
