Banfield to win Coach of the month.
"Rizio on the way out?"
any truth in this BrianSpeaking? or just a hunch?
Would be a bit of a shame if they got rid of Rizio so early into their A grade campaign. He has played a big part in getting them up there over the past few years and would deserve a decent crack at it.
VFL reserves bye couldn't have come at a better time for SBMT. How many Zebra's will travel to Bulleen tomorrow? Plenty of Tigers amongst that lot.

Bugsy, have had lots of feed back and seen in person that Anthony Parkin appears to be more than a Chairman of Selectors. Have a hunch that Ray wont put up with a 0-6 start, nothing sinister. Riz has done well since taking over from Parko, but it seems Parko was/is always the first choice as coach.

Parko definitely would have the wood over Riz as the better coach although Riz has done a fine job post Parko.
Is Parko still involved with the TAC at some level? If so this would surely get in the way of him taking over at Blacks?

SBMT with 7 changes back in this week by about 100 points against OT's at OT's. Big result, would say their best 22 is right up their.
Collegians won by about 110 points today with Watts bagging (i think) 8 goals, and spent the last 15-20 minutes on the bench.
A comfortable win, with about 7-8 players currently out injured.

Don't count your chickens just yet Nicho, as good as Collegians seniors were yesterday, your two's got a touch up from De La who hadn't won a game yet. Doesn't appear to be much depth down there at Collegians. I'll wait to see how they go when winter and a few injuries hit before handing over the Premiership.

Collegians are currently missing Arnott, B. Robbins, Mooney, Taft, Hosking, Roach, and Bull. All walk up starters (there my be one or two i can't think of).
That's seven players who will be straight back in when they are fit. What you are seeing now is how Collegians play with injuries. It's also a reason why the two's are getting a touch up, because the best are having to play seniors.
There were some great performances yesterday by guys that would not normally get a run in the seniors.

Relax Nicho, I don't want you getting over excited. I just don't want you getting your hopes up just yet, we all know what happened last year. Let me assure you, I have the greatest of respect for Collegians this year and they are the clear leaders at this stage, but your reserves and club 18 both losing to De La, whose Seniors haven't won a game yet, is a CLEAR indication that the depth is not there. If you can't keep the current group together then there COULD be some interesting times ahead.

A little odd I must say.
Xavs -v- Trinity and Blues -v- Blacks would've made more sense to me.
OTs have a pretty decent record against OX (despite the clubs featuring in differing halves of the A section ladder almost every year), plus the schools are located next door to each other - the "Battle of Charles Street".
The Blues -v- Blacks one is a no brainer if you ask me.
Brighton -v- STBMT is geographical, OI -v- DLS doesn't really enthuse, whilst Scotch -v- Collegians would be an old APS rivalry I guess.

Came from a source inside the club.
What possible rivalry could there be between OX and OT???? except maybe for carparks in Stanley street.
I would have thought the Xavier/Scotch rivalry was as big as any in A grade!!
Certainly would be the only other A grade side I have a rivalry with.

I concur - I got the same info last night.
In fact, probably from the same source as you SR, and maybe even at the same time?! :p
Apparently Blues were the first A grade club to jump on the phone to request the Trinity match-up.
About the only Blues/Trinity connection of which I'm aware is my old man (7 games for OT, 108 for Blues), and the fact they played off for the 1994 B grade GF. Maybe Gillon McLachlan was looking at coming out of retirement to face-off against Rambo?

I agree that it is a little premature for a club to be talking finals after 4 games, but you yourself have been known to make some outlandish comments only to fall off the radar when your boys from OEG get anohter dose of the september blues (or I think it was blacks last year!)

VG,
Appreciate your comments, and agree, I did go missing after last years capitulation. However, during the season proper I did my best to give an honest and unbiased week to week assessment of all sides in B Section, including OEG. While obviously a supporter of OEG, I think you'll find that I was actually very conscious of OEG's poor record in finals so made every effort not to make any outlandish comments about finals, grand finals or premierships. Just did my bit for the B Section Thread and tried to entertain the readers with a light hearted look at VAFA B Section football.
Now back to A Section... Go St Bedes... you're #1!!!
Cheers,
TBP

are the selections based on form or big names only? some of the named players haven't been playing and some of those who have have been have very out of form..just having a look at collegians, haven't seen adkins or robbins in the best yet, ries i think once. baxter has been in the best in almost every game. ??
seems very much like a publicity exercise.

Blumfield would have to be the unluckiest player going around to miss selection. Andrew Baxter would be leading the Lions B&F comfortably at this stage, his omission from the squad is also staggering.
I doubt whether Ries, Watts, Adkins, Stone or Robbins will turn up to training... I think they will all happily take the week off instead.
Who are the selectors? the selection of the team must be done on names and not form. Ries, Robbins and Adkins are yet to feature in the best for Collegians whereas Baxter, Blumfield, Holst and Tardiff have all featured a few times.
Should the squad be picked on reputation or form?

Lions are finding out what OX already know. Just because you have the best side in the comp with standouts on each line doesn't mean the "selectors" will use them. Obviously nobody from the ammos has the time to watch every team closely enough. Many deserving players over the years have forfeited a spot to a "name" player. I think diplomacy plays a large part in selection also. Let's face it, a rep side should be the 22 best players played in position. What we normally see is 22 guys that have either played before or had a good year last year. Don't get me wrong, I love state footy, the ammos have a chance to lead the way in rep footy.

And in the results, Blues took out Trinity and St Bedes won by a point over Brighton, with a Brighton kick for goal after the siren going off to one side.

I got 5 as well. Go Tigers!
Oooh, was it a hard kick for goal?
I was down at the Trott on Saturday to watch the Lions against Scotch.
There's a lot to like about the Scotch side, they certainly gave it a shake, with Steve Lawrence leading the way.
Collegians dominated early and were 41 points the better at half time, but the definate turning point in the game was Charlie Holst going off after being knocked out early in the 3rd term. Scotch really came back into it after this, and came within a couple of kicks early in the final term before the Lions kicked a couple to steady the ship.
Scotch dominated the centre clearances all day to give their forwards every chance, and there were some great defensive efforts by Collegians, lead by Jorgenson taking telling marks time and time again.
Collegians injury list is already huge, with a couple more additions from the weekends game. I am amazed that they are still undefeated, and it goes some way to dispelling the myth about their lack of depth.
Having said that, I have my doubts about them being able to put together a competitive enough unit this week against SBMT, unless there are a few coming back that I am unaware of.

40 out, 30 degree angle. Kicked from just outside 45 due to the marker, went through at half post height and missed goal by about a metre. I've seen worse misses (Ivanhoe in round 18 last year, for example).

I thought the elderly Scotch supporter in his tartan hat yelling out 'get up you weak bastard' was a nice touch when the Wesley player's face has been relocated to the back of his head!

yeah they're pretty good.. would have them somewhere in the top 4 come seasons end if they keep their shiznit together.. did they have a full team on sat?
Its a funny game playing down at brindisi.. you get punished very quickly for any stuffups as the ground is so small.. was a great game to watch, and there was two ripping hangers by a couple of OB blokes to boot..

One of those hangers was form Phelan (9) for the Toners - an absolute beauty!

Well I said most people would pick up an easy 3 tips this week and so it came to pass, except for the stellar debut by Sausage Roll. Did he genuinely tip 0 or was he merely taking the proverbial? Future weeks will tell.

It was an absolute disgrace... Clint Harris is probably the toughest bloke at collegians, he was knocked out cold in a marking contest and his eye brow was hanging down at his cheek, he requires plastic surgery. The game was stopped for about 5 minutes as he was carried off. The tool in the tartan hat and tweed jacket that was abusing him as he lay on the stretcher should be ashamed of himself... this sort of stuff happens with juiced up fans in the southern league and doesn't/shouldn't happen in our comp.
Should be a belta at headquarters on saturday with the tigers hosting the lions, the lions have a few injury concerns although may be getting a few back. Any injuries to speak of down at brindisi st?

That was a real disgrace. For a bloke like Clint Harris to not be able to get back up, then you know he's been hit hard. Those Scotch supporters abusing a bloke coming off on a stretcher after being knocked out should be ashamed of themselves.
