A Section Amateur Football

[Blueboys11]

All roads lead to Pine Lodge this Saturday.

Should be an absolute cracker between Ivanhoe and Brighton. The 2 in form teams in the comp at the moment.

Couldn't agree more, anyone who wants to see a great, hard fought battle get on down to Ye Ole Pine Lodge, guaranteed to be a cracker!

[soupsey]

Gee I wish you could bet on A grade footy.

[Frederik Kanoute]

just jump on betfair. i'm sure there aren enough people involved and someone will take ur bet. i know one person in particular who'll take a bet on anything if the price/odds are right.
hell, i might even take it, what do u want to bet on????

[soupsey]

tried to get on uni last week as my posts show. Would love a go at the hoe this week. Tonners are ready to burst.

will freddy get up this week and significantly boost the chances of the Bernies clash with Uni. Probably the game that will determine which team out of the 2 has the last minor chance of making the finals.

A quote from correspondence I received during the week:

"Graham (Mark) will do anything (or nothing as it would seem) to get his kid in to Xavier. Everybody at OX is asking questions."

Reputed OX servant, June 29 2007.

I am told Graham didn't play on the weekend (Please correct me if I'm wrong), could an OX person tell the Big Footy faithful what was wrong?

What is it with you blokes and Mark Graham...yawn.

Jealous that he played 250 league games and you are a tubby never-was?

[MISTER X]

I think your right SMG he isn't listed on the VAFA site as having played.

Maybe Mister X could contribute to why his love child didn't play?

I have heard conflicting stories:
1. Tore a heart string night before the match
2. It was too cold from him
3. Stubbed his little toe on the edge of the couch
4. He couldn't find his lucky jocks

Nah chels, he actually couldnt be bothered wasting his time playing in such a pansie comp...... he went to watch the Eastern League so he could remember what it looked like when players had a crack!

He's sitting back rubbing his hands together - while you clowns b*tch about him like old moles!

[Brain drain]

Anyone got any mail on Old Scotch's performance against Trinity on the weekend?

Obviously they got belted, but was anyone there who saw the game and could explain why the home side managed to lead 78 to 4 at half time.

Not many BF devotees saw that one coming.....guess Scotch didn't either.

Things looking decidedly shaky at K2 Stadium now?

Robbie Gross will be looking for a new job I think Brainco. Too many left over summer for any club to win games in the top flight. Would be one for the ages if Scotch get relegated.

Does that mean $1.27 that OI beat OB?

[Drizzle]

Does that mean $1.27 that OI beat OB?

No, just saying that it's a moral that someone will take bets, and that someone could possibly be me.

Probably looking at $1.70 Brighton, $2.10 Ivanhoe.

[Blueboys11]

Geez, wouldnt mind a very large piece of that $2.10.....

[Jascave]

It wouldn't surprise me if this year's A Section Grand Final is between Old Brighton and Old Xaverians.

[webbo_83]

It wouldn't surprise me if this year's A Section Grand Final is between Old Brighton and Old Xaverians.

After Old Ivanhoe pummel Old Brighton on Saturday, a lot of people will be changing their minds about whether OB can maintain their form deep in to the finals. With big Toovey working back in to some stellar form (whether saving goals at CHB, or kicking them from CHF), OI will be nigh on impossible to beat...

[Frederik Kanoute]

Having played both, I'd be taking that 1.70 for OB, although my tipping has been less than discraceful this year so what would i know

[soupsey]

Not sure if they will pummel them. Just think that it will be close if OI stop them chipping sideways and playing on. Make it a stop start slog. Brighton are down hill skiers and will find it hard to grind out a scrappy win.

[Billy the Kid]

Saw the VAFA will be playing the VCFL in Ballarat this coming Sunday, can anyone tell me a potential side for the VAFA?, and what are there chances against the boys from around country victoria?

[Jascave]

Don't know about the line-up for the VAFA, but I can tell you that the VCFL has picked one of the best sides ever to wear the Vic Country jumper. What chance the VAFA has of beating the VCFL? None.

[Blueboys11]

Why would OB leave out their young gun from Sandy VFL on the weekend?...they may be regretting that one later in the year.

Not sure who ur referring to, but wouldnt of made an ounce of difference to the result....

[footyfan_joe]

Hey guys,

Have been following the thread for a while but never really posted. This thread is a bit lack luster at the moment ... get into it people! :D

In all seriousness, A Grade Football is on fire this year! It is so even amongst the top four teams this season and its great to see. I was at the Collegians Brighton Cliffhanger a few weeks ago and what a game that was and also at the Collegians Blues cliff hanger a few weeks later! Two of the best games of Footy I have seen all season which have had everything!

I think Collegians are the real deal this year and the team to beat come september.

A Grade Footy is alive and well.

[JG Hornet]

I son't think anyone who was at De La on Saturday would concur with the above statement

[Slay Master G]

You would have to admit that Collegians had 5-6 handy players missing on Saturday. Not offering that as an excuse, however should those players return, Collegians are still in the mix.

Have you still got your house (of you have one) on Old Xavs...?

It's anybody's this year, Old Ivanhoe are looking good but I fear that they rely on too few of their star players and carry the rest.

[JG Hornet]

True SMG, true. Some of the worst conditions I've ever seen on Saturday.

Money still on Xavs with Collegians my smokey (if they get in)

Has there been a team/squad finalised for the match in Ballarat on Sunday against the VCFL? If so does anyone know it, or where can i find it?

Pretty sure it will come out on the website www.vafa.com.au either late today or tomorrow before lunchtime. ;)

Good luck to all 3 sides pulling on the Big V this weekend - hope you all get through and do us proud.

Lets raise a bit of chatter...

1. win 51
2. lose 33 (against OI)
3. win 52
4. win 11
5. win 5 (against OH)
6. win 6 (against OB)
7. win 16
8. win 15
9. win 8 (against OX)
10. lose 3
11. lose 15

Collegians results... not too sure what is so convincing about these, or why people are jumping on the bandwagon? Having only seen them play in round 2 at pinelodge there was nothing the stood out about them... against the bottom side they only win by 5 and against the other top 3 sides they have beaten two, by only 6 & 8 points, and were dealt a 6 goal loss against the the other

Injuries and availabilty to key players has played a major factor in results week to week for the Lions. It's hard to get an idea of what their top performance would be like because the best 22 have not hit the park for any game (except maybe round 1).

Names to have missed at least 3 games each this year include Mooney, Arnott, B.Robbins, Unsworth(C), with guys like Blumfield missing a game here and there as well. (of course Taft can only make it after half time with his "other" commitments on saturday mornings!!)

Not an excuse for the losses or formline (b/c all teams have injuries to cope with), but i think the main contributing factor behind results that can be considered not as convincing to many (with obviously the Lions depth not as strong as other teams, looking at the magoos performances).

Well said Penski.

If you look at the A Grade ladder and the formlines of most teams, there are a lot of inconsistencies. Injuries (and depth) will probably determine the premiers this year, the team that hits the finals with momentum will be the winners. Could be any of the top 5 sides I think but smart money would have to be on Xavs as they are the only ones up there who know what it takes to win it in A Grade and have great depth.
Collegians & Brighton will challenge on their day, as will Old Ivanhoe, however their reliance on a few stars will hurt once the inevitable break down of James Hope occurs. Let's hope Destination A Grade can fill the void.

You should have been at SKOB in the early naughites, like a war zone with injuries. The bottom line is all teams have injuries, was funny to note OMs(I know it is B Section) making the point that they had 11 players out from the first time they played SKOB this year. The funny thing is SKOB had just as many out plus their gun VFL players and still won.
I dont think Old Xavs will win the flag, but I dont know who will. It does get down to depth but I also think it is also about game style, committment to carry that out for 100 mins as well as your best stock on the park at the right time of the year. If you have a few injuries but your guns are in you will more likely win than lose.

[JG Hornet]

with the Vafa website giving us a 100 word paragraph on the game... could someone who threw on the thermals and the sherpa outfit and made trek up to Ballarat to watch the VAFA boys play give us a goals, best afield breakdown and possibly a more detailed report than just the last 30 seconds of the match?

I don't know anything. At face value however, that is a great effort by the Amateurs. It is an insult that we're losing to the SAAFL but to run a very strong country side to a point is an incredible performance, in light of the players who have left the VAFA in recent years. On that note, Mark Corrigan was best on ground for the VCFL and Danny Jordan was their spearhead.

Interesting that a gentleman by the namer of Saad Sadd kicked the decider. I have seen this man play and I have never seen anything like it. Sort of guy who could never play AFL as he is a bit of a space cadet. Played in the Grand Final for Seymour last year and hadn't eaten for days as he was fasting for Ramadan or something. When his boozy teammates got on it after the game, he had already passed out due to not having any food in his system. Then he flew to war torn Lebanon that night!

Has a great leap, flyes for everything. Would have been great to beat the country yokels but ahh well.

Under 23 should be scrapped. Pointless.

How much stronger would the senior side have been if the U23's were available for senior selection? I don't know enough about those selected to know who could have played either.

[BrianSpeaking]

Under 23 should be scrapped. Pointless.
Agree, the only reason the U23 format exists is because we kept chopping up WA and the SAAFL at senior level. Also should note that 80% of the SAAFL were not amateur players, as each team there can pay a % of their players.
Bring back the real Big V and smash everyone.

[Frederik Kanoute]

couldnt disagree more. if the 23's had won in an even contest everybody would be saying how good it was. its a great concept that gives some younger guys a taste of state football. in saying that, it was definitely a dissapointing result but the sa team had played for 3 years together while only a handful of the vafa boys had previously worn the big v.

Yeah but if my Auntie had bollocks she'd be my uncle Frederick. Fact is, we were beaten by South a Bloody Stralia in a game that meant little, now that the irish concept has been shelved. Under 23? What the hell does that mean? Why not Under 24? Or 21? At least 4 or 5 of those blokes would have walked into the senior team and we could have beaten a combo from about a billion country comps.

This is just my personal opinion but I reckon a game like that simply gives people a chance to swagger around town saying they're a state selector, get a free trip, a free blazer, sink piss and talk shit.

Just my opinion though.

Gold Hornet. Sounds like an apt description of our mate Tommy MB Brain!

[Frederik Kanoute]

I must agree with one thing. apparently there were more 'officials' than players/coaches tagging along for that free trip. but if u say 4 or 5 blokes could've walked into the team then why didnt the senior team just steal them?? they stole madden until he broke down 24 hrs before the game and badderley til the last cut. if they were easily good enough for the seniors as u say, they would have been chosen there.

[Johnny Utah #9]

There were defninitely u/23 players in the senior team, which clearly weakened the u/23 side strength.

The SAAFL is an oxy moron as clubs can actually pay players! It's not limited to a percentage. If a club had the money they could pay every player if they wanted to. Some blokes earn up to $600 per game. They can afford it because numerous clubs have pokies and every club is allowed to sell alcohol during games. VAFA is still a much stronger league overall.

[Super_Dal]

i did see the senior game in ballrat on sunday...

my quick summary

VCFL looked a better side all day, deserved to be further in front...

ugly game of football...many skill errors by both sides... could hardly believe what i was seeing... but in saying that, the game was a hot contest all day, both sides have a red hot crack, pressure around the ball was extrodinary

VAFA kicked 2 goals late to level, and a mark to saad saad at the top of the goal square was fortunate as fragiacomo slipped in the one on one contest allowing it to be pretty much un contested...

Xavs by 10 goals

[soupsey]

anyone who knows me knows I don't like to individualise but..... # 11 for de la is terrible. Any wider and he could order me a wick burger at the same time. Too worried about the blonde tips than his opponent.

Can anyone explain why Collegians Club 18 player Peter Lazer, host of arguably the worst TV program since "Wombat", keeps popping up on the Tribunal list? I can only assume that he is the one getting belted as I reckon he's been up at least 5 tims this year.

[Gil McLaughlins Horse]

Can anyone explain why Collegians have so many players hosting childrens television programs? Nothing suss?

[soupsey]

If I know Tafty correctly it's because the co-host is a fox!!!!
Well played mate.

If you got dropped by Madeline West after being engaged, I'd assume you'd be an angry man too. ;)

Lazar is one of the biggest knob jockeys of all time so it comes as no surprise blokes in the Clubbies want to belt him! How he pulled in Madeleine West is minor miracle!

He has all of the on-screen talent of Ryan Fitzgerald!

[The Tiger's Nuts]

Last night's tribunal - Hamish McLauchlan, Old Haileybury - no mention in the results tonight. Did he not turn up, or did he get off?

Good luck to everyone playing

[footyfan_joe]

Anybody see the Bernards Brighton game last weekend?

What did they think?

[webbo_83]

How will OI fare without Marcus Toovey? He got two weeks for charging, but people at the game have suggested that if there were video footage of the incident then he could have been given four to six weeks! Despicable act, apparently.
