Could Simon Lethlean do what Barry Richardson, Nick Bourke, Tim O'Shaughnessy, Mick Sholly have done before and that is take Old Xaverians to a flag in his first year at the helm?
Yes.
Yes he could.

Scribe, stuff that, let's talk about the real issues, notably, your outSTANDing performance at your recent Olympic Distance. Well done old son on what was, from all reports, a brutal course.

Thanks Jono (but please stop being facetious :D)
Rather windy course and the swell off Sandringham was similar to that Clooney/Wahlberg classic flick "The Perfect Storm". Apparently they were plucking swimmers in the Brooks and normal sprint race out left, right and proverbial. By the time I got to the 2nd turning buoy and had 600m to pound back into a 20 knot breeze, I figured a weak swimmer such as myself had better just take it easy and try to get out in one piece. Longest half an hour of my life!!!
Caught up with one D. Beardsley both before and after the event, and his 39min 10km run off the bike is a good indication he's in fine knick. A-grade full forwards will continue to be terrorised by his go-go-gadget arms, and I've no doubt he'll gallop upfield as often as he can with the pill under his arm.
In summary, we were both glad we were using it as a tune-up for the Geelong half-ironman - 'coz our times (well mine at least) weren't all that flash!!!

Yep, 39 off the bike, good effort by D Beardsley on a tough run course. And well done on tackling Geelong - a fine addition to the tri calendar. This scribe's eyes are firmly pointed due North - Mooloolaba late March, best race in the world, pity 'bout your Reds commitments old son...

Hmmm....Olympic distance race in the Sunshine Coast -v- practice match against Salesian/St Marys. If not for the coaching angle, I'd be more than half a chance.
You've got it all sorted out JGH, I'm sure it will be a great end to the summer racing season. :thumbsu:

only to find in the last 20 seconds of the game the ball lands in his lap, he's 63.21mtrs out on a 22deg angle, are 4 points down and he happens to have compartment syndrome in his preffered kicking leg so has to kick with his non preferred... oh, and the only way he knows how to kick with his non-preferred is with a drop-kick tory...
You just described Trinity's round 18 exit against the Hoes last year down to a tee, Hater. Except it was from 20.01 out on a 1.24deg angle, and it got belted through for a point.
Poor guy. I bet he wished the ground in the forward pocket just opened up and swallowed him. Football is a cruel test sometimes.

Anyone interested in a change of lifestyle which includes playing for the Zillmere Eagles in the State League competition (AFLQ) please contact me privately.
The club has a terrific history and are a young club on the rise after playing in the 2006 AFLQ Grand Final and last season winning the Reserve Grade Premiership.
Club has been involved in some off field issues which are being resolved but the club is seeking recruits who feel they have something to offer at this level.

Few good signings at Blacks......P. Bowden, M. Bolton, M. Pask and a few others. Considering how Brighton and Collegians went last year, straight from B-grade with some good recruiting, looks like Blacks aren't there just to make up the numbers.
Good call Cats. Kevin Hillier was a bit scathing in todays local rag:
"I have heard Marty Pask is going to continue his footy by playing in the Amateurs. That is a great waste, I think, as he is still young enough to attract an AFL club by playing VFL, but no-one will see him where he is going, except in the stands when his fiance [sic] Leisel Jones is swimming."
Hint: you can see players much better when you pull your head out of your backside, Mr Hillier. If he's still interested, and the AFL guys are still interested, they'll find him. Should be some cracking matches in A section this year.
Jascave, we hereby appoint you the man in charge of changing Kevin Hillier's point of view. Come back when you can announce success!

Pretty sure this bloke is the media manager for the WRFL and host's a WRFL show on 88.9 wyn fm so you'd expect him to pot the VAFA at any oppurtunity.
Not sure if he is the same C grade radio celebrity that has been heard on fox and 3AK over the years

30 Jan 2008, 09:30
Kevin Hillier would be better served interviewing Bono from U2 and updating Australia's Top 40 rather than commenting on VAFA issues. I guess some people don't give VAFA footy much credit and Hillier is one of those in that group. Maybe Kevin Hillier thinks that the WRFL is superior, when in actual fact, it's not.

Kevin Hillier is the Peter Luck of FM radio and can often be heard in the summer months. I think he's been around since Glenn Miller. These Countdown men are stepping out of line – even the Jonathan Coleman Experience featured a slagging off of the Sholly rule.

My point exactly.
Agreed - February is always rife with clubs supporters (AFL and VAFA) pumping up their teams' chances without any real basis.
However, the Tigers have certainly proven in the past 2 seasons that they've got the club structure and playing group to hit A grade with much momentum.
I doubt they will suffer the same fate of the last A grade debutants (Whitefriars in 2004) who were found wanting due to significant player losses.
If the Tigers have kept most of their list, they should still be in contention for a finals berth at roudn 14, but probably won't take the whole thing out. If they do, the C-B-A flag trifecta would surely be a VAFA first???

I may be wrong but I think Ivanhoe won D-C-B-A in the 1930's when they first entered the VAFA. I think they also hold the record for most consecutive wins in this streak remaining unbeaten for 3 and a half seasons

Don't think this is right. I'm pretty sure the only A-grade flag the 'hoers have won was in 1956.
Bulleen-Temp (late 1970's - mid 1980's) and Mazenod (late 1980's - mid 1990's) are right up there in terms of fastest ever promotions from the lowest grades up to A-grade.

Surley23, you are talking like a true beach side tool. Have a look at what happened last year to the lippy brighton boys.....they were taught a football lesson by a true contender. Coming up from B Grade (which is exactly what it is, B Grade) should be taken into consideration, you were not playing against the best teams in the ammos for a reason. Stop pretending that winning B grade premierships is a good result for a club. Make a proper name for your self before you start lipping up.

So using your logic there is no top class clubs below A grade, bit of an insult to the rest of the clubs involved in VAFA footy.

No doubt they can play footy, and full credit to you guys for that, just the calibre of blokes playing and your feral supporters is your major problem.
I am a former player who played while the club was in E/D Grade. I have seen the club merge, win promotions to higher grades and evolve into the club it is today. I am more than proud of the club, players and supporters. We have received many accolades from VAFA HQ. Our supporters are no where near as feral as some clubs i have seen.
As a newbie to A Grade, I am looking forward to this year to see how well we compete. I cant wait for Round 1 - St Bedes v De La Salle. I always knew back in 1985 that one day this would happen. Bring on Season 2008.

Speaking of bad blokes, will the return of the self proclaimed "Panther" Torney at Uni Blues tip them towards the flag or take the club towards Old Xavs as the epicentre of squeezers playing VAFA football?

Goats,
People in Glass houses should maybe resist the temptation of throwing stones. OE aren't exactly an ornament of the VAFA... SBMT are a lot of things but unlike OE at least they stick together on-field when the going gets tough. Maybe taking a leaf from their book may win you a final!

Having only been involved in A-Section for 10 years I was wondering who St Bedes Mentone were?
Did they win six or seven A-Grade flags when I was at the Elsternwick Hotel?

Tip Rat & Boganville, ouch!
Listen here Newbie the only cherry you would have picked (Flicked) is your mums and it was the size of a very large (new york style) hot dog!!
Come up with odds and something new other than Bogan, Tool, Tip rat or **** off back to your mothers bossom. I bet you were one of the freak boys at school still breast feeding through the school wire fence at age 15.
Sorry to the rest of the posted for my rant, but he is a ****ing twit with nothing new to add to this thread...

I'm a Collegians man myself, and we have plenty of great talent, but I think there's a few in the mix nicho, of which Collegians are one.
I think Xavs to finish on top again, Uni Blacks to make the four along with Collegians, and then i think there's another 2-3 that could get that final spot.

That is ridiculous. What have Xavs got against St bedes, they have never played before so clearly no bad blood, yet they are pretty much calling them out.
'Club assistant coach Lex Vasdekis said that the visit will be of great benefit to the players. "It will enable them to view a part of Australia's history that is perhaps unknown to them, while the journey will prepare them for the treacherous road trip later in the season to St Bede's Mentone," said the tanned fitness guru."[/FONT][/LEFT]

Consider it a compliment.
It took the contributors on oldxavs.com about 3 seasons to even acknowledge OTs as a competitive A grade side. The Hoers were probably in the same category, whilst Whitefriars never got a mention (understandably so).
I've strolled the Brindisi St surface recently, and can confirm it's barely half the size of the monstrous, magnificently manicured Daley Oval at Trinity.
Doesn't mean anything, there's still 4 posts at each end and a white line around the boundary.
Relax lads - everyone knows you guys will have a handy home ground advantage, and it helps Brighton no end each season.

I wouldn't be surprised if that article found its way into St Bedes Mentone's locker room and the coach will pin the article on the board as a 'motivational tool'. Prepare for fireworks when Old Xavs meet St Bedes Mentone, should be an interesting game!!

Nicho is taking the piss... and as for uni Blacks making the four?? you have to be taking the piss also! No chance of them making the four, the only reason they went up a grade this year is because they were lucky enough to play OEG in a final, which pretty much handed them a win and you think they'll walk into the top four?
Collegians won the section last year with confidence and didn't make the top four (i mean make top four come finals), yet the blacks who scrapped through will make it? highly doubtful... and yes, i've heard about their "star" recruits.. but it means nothing untill the first round..
