C Section Amateur Football

[overtheline]

Can you read - get on the website. He kicked goals in 12 games and their were 2 games he started, got injured and didn't kick a goal. That makes 14. Even if you sign the teamsheet it counts as a game - doesn't matter how long he plays for, in fact in 1 game he went off after about 90 seconds.

I agreed with Lewski and Kirzner as great players but not in the same vein as boundy.

As for Smyth - hes got red hair so attracts the votes - tell me how many players in the vafa are the best and don't win the best in the comp.

Edwrds tore his hamstring during the year.

Don't spruik off until you do some research

mr evidence, I ma still waiting for how many games edwards played? You said he played less than loats..so how many? Or were you guessing.

If you think 90 seconds is a game then you really have no idea.

Edwards played how many? He had a heel injury not a hamstring mr research!

Il put my neck out there and say St Bedes might go undefeated at brindisi this year[/QUOTE]

I thoroughly agree.
I think St Bedes will go through undefeated this year. I also think Reds will do the same, along with Ajax, Hampton & Nobs.
Should be a big year for draws !!

Gentleman,
I can say with some certainty that Old Camberwell are the side to beat. Their coach is a master at underselling any team he coaches. I can guarantee that they have recruited strongly, they are not shy about talking to any one. They have heavily courted a certain SKOB player, as well as several other high profile ammo and non ammo stars...they are the team to beat.

[overtheline]

Come on old timer, if you seriously count 90 seconds as a game then you are not well. The orginal discussion was about his goal average and to count three games that really only amounted to a quarter in total, as theee games in his avergae really isn't fair. you know that and so do I. You seem to know a lot about his ground toiem etc oldtimer... I thought you were form parade? how do you know so much about Loats?

I notice you conveniently have avoided any further dicussion re edwards. You stated he played less than Loats and had a hamstring. Both incorrect.

at least we agree on lewski

[i make sense]

i would like to throw my hat in the ring and declare st bede's undefeated for the year 2006. that is if the dirtiest player in VAFA can stay on the field. Luke "juice" Wintle is more interested in belting blokes than getting the footy. AS evident in him being sent off numerous times last year.

Granted he can play, but between him and his ugly brothers, not a game goes by without a wintle being in a scuffle. Hopefully, they all get reported and suspended for weeks.

With all the rumours about their recruits they have some big shoes to fill. but they will be hard to beat, even with me baracking against them.

[caveman]

Ok you've convinced me. Reds prems 06. Thanks 'cause I wasn't too sure. :thumbsu:

Count me on the bandwagon mate. :thumbsu: Look forward to B grade in 2007! ;)

[Scribe]

Given I have a vested/VAFA interest in C Grade for 2006 (as the Amateur Footballer scribe), I warmly encourage the banter to continue. In my own (biased) view, C Grade will be a belter this year, with so many clubs having obvious reasons for optimism.

No doubt the Tigers are favorites, as the NOBSPC experiment may take time to gel. I think Parade have the depth to challenge and Reds will be a handy 'smoky'. My mail is Old Camberwell are battling and may drop a long way, whilst Monash are impossible to measure until late-March. Hampton and Parkdale will be honest, but may not have enough on their list to seriously challenge.

I'll stick my neck out early, as the first edition is 7 weeks and 4 practice matches away, and tip the ladder* as:

St Bedes MT
Paradians
NOBSPC
Fitzroy

AJAX
Parkdale
Hampton
Monash
Ormond
Old Camberwell

* subject to change without notice

NB - as A reserve matches finish at 1.45 pm, I'm hoping to shower and get out to a C Grade senior game each week. However, any information from official channels which is passed on would be greatly appreciated (and highly publicised!!)

Cheers

Mate, you had wanna be a bloody star if your gonna take unnecessary and ignorant pot shots at blokes from the safety and anonymity of your computer. Boundy is a gun and a good bloke to match and saying things like that just make you sound like a degenerate waste of space. Sometimes i wish a punch could be transmitted electronically.

Here Here. Its one thing to have an opinion but those comments about Boundy were totally uncalled for and as you point out, wrong. I dispute strongly he is the best in the comp but that doesn't call for a personal attack like juicy launched

[juicyskipper]

Mate wont be near boundy as he plays in c grade ********. Played him 2 years ago in b and had the biggest thighs and looked like he was about to have quads. Speak to me when he plays in A grade.

Scribe, will Monsieur Horn be bombarding us with his wit and humour again in 2006? I'll be the first to admit that his writing style generates the occasional chortle from me, but his Amateur football knowledge leaves a lot to be desired. eg the GF tipping debacle.

Will the doyen of the VAFA- Tommy Brain be handling B grade again? i'm looking forward to another year of cliches from the Brain Train. In fairness to Tommy, it hasn't looked like he has been receiving much help from the B grade clubs in terms of info and match reports for the past few years.

[big sav]

Settle down OTL. I quite enjoyed your recent banter with the oldtimer. My comment regarding your intelligence was a cheap shot. Apologies.
But remember, don't confuse stats and rumour that no-one else has the time or inclination to verify as wisdom. I look forward to the next installment of OTL vs Oldtimer.

don't worry I have a firm grasp of reality and know the difference between stas and rumour. AS I said, i have given my predictions for the four and relegants, will you?
Just in case you missed it
four- Reds. st bedes, ajax, hampton

relegation-parkdale, Camberwell, Ormond

Let's hear it Sav! Reds are ..."overtheline", refer recent hisory of promoted premiers to Di

[Keen Observer]

[four- Reds. st bedes, ajax, hampton
relegation-parkdale, Camberwell, Ormond]

Your 'four' may well be on the money, especially Hampton. They had a terrible run with injuries last year & Ajax , at times, were unbeatable.

As for your 'relegation' sides - Camberwell were one of only 2 teams to beat Blacks last year & were very capable. Not sure the departures are as bad as reported in some posts. Parkdale sat 2nd or 3rd all year until a late season 'blow out'.
This would be a huge slide for these teams !

C section was very competitive in 05. More inclined to think Monash, Ormond & maybe NOBs will be near the bottom.

Yes. some fair points there keen. Time will tell I suppose but I can assure you the Parkdale /Camberwell losses are not folklore, but true. Plenty of sides have made similiar slides-refer St leos who went from prelim to relgation
Monash were/are a talented side who will relish a new coach. Ormond we agree ..
Nobs will survive for mine.

For what it's worth, I know Macca reasonably well and he is pretty confident of a good showing. He has lost some talent backto St edes as they did not want to play against their long time friends. The Tigers had better be strong, a lot of my mates play there and they are pumping it up. I hope they dont make the mistake of taking C grade for granted.
Old Camberwell and Parade will make up the other 2 finals spots.
NOBS for the double drop along with Ormond.

Candy,

As I understand it, The Hornet will continue to pen pages 3 and 4, but the front page Editorial has been handballed to Cameron Noakes another writer with previous experience writing for the VAFA in The Age/Hun. It was Horn's call, because he was too busy to do both. Tommy continues in B and I got the call up from the backblocks of U19 writing because Harro's work/family commitments will prevent him from getting out and about much in '06.

Looks like the rumour mill in C Grade is working brilliantly. Re: Old Camberwell, my mail has come from one of our old physios who has been freelancing and did a couple of sessions down there in early Feb. She was surprised how the training sessions were run and felt the gap between their preparation and ours (Trinity) was pretty large. She understood they had some large gaps in their playing list to fill and things weren't looking too flash.

However, there's still 7 weeks remaining before the season starts and anything could happen. Having been in the similar situations before ('03 and '05) at my club, it's tough covering for departing stars, but the younger players often relish the opportunity and may surprise themselves, as well as their opponents!!!

Who knows? That's the beauty of VAFA footy I guess....

PS - juicy, get off this forum unless you can provide some useful comments rather than bagging blokes. Also, throwing in the fact you now play A grade adds no weight to your vacuous murmurings.

[sammyg]

Do those three brothers still play at Nobs? From memory there were two good ones and one sh#t one.

[zoofest43]

Whilst it is true Old Camberwell have lost a 'swag' of good players from their '05 list, predictions of a suddden exit from C grade are foolish in the extreme.
The retirements of Credlin and Batzloff ,along with the departure for 12 months of Durling, leave OC short of talls,however they have recruited well in other areas and thus have 'covered' many of the supposed gaps.

Opponents will find a younger,hungrier, more focused group than in the past and may be in for a big surprise if OC is taken lightly.

I'm not predicting finishing spots this far out,but talk of relegation is absurd, as the competition will see when the side appears for Round 1.
Many of those 'departures' in '06 will be returning in '07, so the future is pretty fine at Gordon Barnard.

Hope this little note clears up the current misconceptions about the direction the club is taking.:thumbsu: :)

[Moss Rocket]

Zoofest,

Got to love your passion for the OC's. I remember a day at Bulleen when Doc Inkster was at is formidable best! Looking forward to 07, as my beloved Old Carey will be joining you in C-Grade. Then we can have some solid banter!
PS - I watched that game at camberwell last year when you played home against AJAX. It was a very high standard game with the lead changing 2-3 times in the final 5 minutes. Can't remember who won, but 2 quality sides. I can't imagine the loss of a couple of talls could send OC's down to D-Grade!:) :thumbsu:

[Spencer Johnson]

C Grade seems full of sides with vry sound home records - but to say they will go undefeated is massive call at this stage.

I think C Grade top side may only go 14-4 myself, but a very close top 5 will follow - maybe 1 or 2 games.

[Spencer Johnson]

Yes, 7 weeks is a very long time in VAFA football. Who knows ? A star receuit may appear at any of these clubs - like Old Camberwell - in the next few weeks !

[Spencer Johnson]

There is a strong chance Camberwell will struggle in 2006 with depth for their 'best' players - but overall I think they will survive the cut at the end of 2006 with enough wins and a senior coach who knows the value of a strong percentage !

[Spencer Johnson]

St Bedes given their solid B Grade record have been relegated in good shape. A fierce home record ensures they will be a finals contender.

NOBS on the other hand came down in a worse state and their finals ambition are somewhat clouded still - a lot of changes in Brunswick thus far.

Old paradians - 3rd in 2005 - have a hand given their home record and experience at this level. Not a quick side, they find it tough on the road some weeks.

Ajax, Monash and Old Camberwell all will win games in this league and look like great sides are varying times of the season. Monash of this trio are very much an 'x factor'. . ..

Then there are those promoted and the Reds of Fitzroy are being discussed more than AWB it seems - a big jump in class but defeats are not in the new culture there and big things expected ?

So does that help ? Not really. I think you will find St Bedes at Brindisi will be extremely tough to roll , Reds will be prominent and a few teams in the middle may show their fans hope of a B Grade gig in the coming years.

[i make sense]

i'll give you the hot tip. Apparently, down at brindisi st two applications have been submitted to the council for renovation to the ground. The first is to extend each end by 5m and widen the wings by 2.5m each. If this is rejected the second application is to buy the oval off the city of Kingston, thus giving them the licence to do as they plaese. mind you this would probably result in them bringing in the boundary ensuring it is the smallest postage stamp in Australia.

It's not so much the size that is the problem but more so the surface... absolutely terrible!

[laughabits]

You have clearly proven to anyone on this board that you have no idea what you are talking about.
Potting David Loats is not only stupid but clearly lets me know you no nothing.
I would suggest to all not to reply to any of your comments, as this is the first and final time i will reply to you. Not worth it, would be like picking on someone with Down Syndrome. Your obviously not right mate and i would suggest some urgent attention. If Loats is a waste of talent, your a waste of fresh air.

[i make sense]

Agreed pineaple, surface is sub standard. Both goal squares are too sandy. it is like playing beach volleyball. urgent attention is required. although, the soft ***** at parkdale will enjoy playing there as they may reduce injuries when they land on the beachy surface. Parky may however require life guards to resuscitate them after mentone kick the life out of them.

[CFE]

Keep knocking Ormond everyone, you may all have us in "Relegation Zone" but Round 1 hasn't even been played as of yet, but will losing no players & recruiting a few A grade players, we are looking to stay up in 2006 & who knows from there...

Thats not including the tac and vfl boys that will play throughout the year and also there may be some big names in like S.Loewe that will slot nicely in at full forward at brindisi street.

no room for Hecker in the side? TIm beasley? Serious?

It will be interesting to see how they cope with all the expectation!

[i make sense]

Few possies will be different i believe, for one, Paul "rat" Wintle will play CHB where he won the B & F 2 yrs ago, and juice will play CHF, pity that Rhoden couldnt have been squeezed out of the side. The guys a hack. And Tigers lost two better ruckmen this summer, Connelly to travel, and that young U/19's player Chris Barr, apparently is a fantastic tap ruckman, hes moved interstate for uni ive heard? This true GetSmart?

Heres my Side:

Hey Scribe,
Ryan Martin from Uni Blues returns to us after a few years playing A grade. His last year wasn't up to his first 2 years at Uni Blues due to a family tragedy, but has returned home. He will be one of the better onballers in C grade, him & Michael Miller will give a few teams some headaches this year.

I know he's old, but Matt McConville returns to the fray. It will take a quality big man to play on him.

There are some others in the pipeworks that we'll keep under raps for a little longer...

[GetSmart]

Also A.Flemming on the wing. ABSOLUTLEY NO CHANCE he plays VFL for sandy i think

[Keen Observer]

Seems like St Bedes are over the line & the other teams are battling it out for second ! It's a very long season.
How are NOBSPC travelling? Are Joe Barker & Luke Boyle still playing? Surely not. They would be in their 40's by now. I heard Bruno 'the messiah' Conti may even make a comeback!

it is fitzroy who are "overtheline"...refer recent history

[i make sense]

I know for a fact the juice wintle is playing CHB as thats where he wants to play and is best suited and Rat Wintle will play CHF cause gordon is a natural backman and cant play forward. Chris barr would have no chance of getting a game in the 1's this year and im not sure what he is doing this year because i dont know him personally. Kiddy hasnt been training due to work but the word is he is playing but probably want crack it in for a senior game.

Gordon doesn't need to take a grab, just give a contest and let the rest of the team kick goals. Rat enjoys lurking off the half back line and will be more damaging there.

CFE - both very handy inclusions. Having played on Marto recently, he doesn't look much to start with, but his dishevelled appearance belies a tidy, hard running midfielder who uses the ball very well. He'll slot into your midfield rotation easily.

As for Mr McConville - say no more - he's one of the VAFA's greats. Playing 8 or 9 games at EE and with a couple of other C Grade grounds more on the postage stamp side, I'm sure he'll provide plenty of headaches for opposition coaches, perhaps as a permanent tall forward??

Keep 'em coming lads - I've already received a private missive from the Jackas who are very, very keen to build on last years' results and I reckon having EP as their home ground might add just a little bit more incentive....

To my way of thinking there are three teams that can really win it.
fitzroy are monites for mine with the other two possibles being St Bedes and Ajax. A midfield of Lewski, Sutton and Ritterman is very imposing but they do need Julian to commit to playing. The others can write their own ticket.

Cheers

[Mobbenfuhrer]

The Reds were meant to have had a praccie against Mansfield last weekend ... maybe I should try to check how that panned out ...

[Bigfootyfan]

Well from what i saw by the bar last year, when young Chris did ruckwork with Rhoden and Connelly he killed them.
I heard we lost someone to Beaumaris who was that?


Footyfanatic007 are you for real. You are either Chris Barr or you are a family member or close friend because as much as Chris is a nice kid he isnt a footballers paiur of undies. Secondly the fact that you have named Brendan Neville in the senior side also gives it away that you are from the same age group.

To beat Chris's ego up and to put Rhoden down thats a big call considering the Rhoden has some ability, just no meat on his bones. Chris on the otherhand i think should stick to tennis.

[Bigfootyfan]

By being from the same age group it has enabled me to look at players, and compare them? my bad. Neville is a rare talent as much as it is hard to ignore him for some older guys, i cannot, he has the build the speed the tenacity, Sandringham VFL are after him for a reason Bigfootyfan.

"No meat on the bones" is sort of a big issue in the ruck, to easily pushed around in my opinion.


Fanatic, im sorry but your way off the mark with Chris. This forum is an occasional talking point at the club and i can tell you that after your post on Thursday there were a few quiet laughs and sighs at how someone could think that Chris is good enough. Again nice kid, his father is a massive supporter and drive behind the club but thats where it ends.

Neville will play ones this year no doubt, was only drawing his name to attention to source that you were someone close to that junior side.

Rhoden may be skin and bones but is very agile and moves quicker than most big men. He wouldnt be my choice in the ruck but if he is the option what he lacks in strength can be made up around the ground.

I agree. All this talk abouit St Bedes is great as it deflects all the focus from the real premiers, the mighty Jackas! We did win 8 in a row last year, had the leading goalkicker and arguably the best player in the comp in Ari Lewski. Add jason Ritterman to that, elsternwick park and a little more luck with injuries and we are a big threat. Keep talking it up beda boys!

[DidaksLeftFoot]

Ritterman is a massive boost for the Jackas. Might try get down to a few games this year.

We did win 8 in a row last year, had the leading goalkicker and arguably the best player in the comp in Ari Lewski. Add jason Ritterman to that, elsternwick park and a little more luck with injuries and we are a big threat. Keep talking it up beda boys!

Ritterman is a gun...massive for C Section.

[ITSMYNAME]

i agree with you jackaman about the beda boys talkin it up, but you also cant rely on one gun to win u a flag from what i saw of you guys last year......average bunch....but i still do tip the tigers to get up....ugly bunch of guys......but can play...

I think he outlined at least three guns in his post

Well said over, I did outline more than one gun at jackaland and could outline more if I was so inclined. Interesting to note the beda hype has dried up since a directive went on their website to shut up! How many flags have they won in the last 15 years??

Go jackas!!

I belive that Luke Beveridge is furious at all of the hype and I can tell you personally that he is just keen to win enough games to avoid relegation and hopefully make the finals. He is trying to find out who the guys are on this site that pump the bedes so he can pump them OUT of Brindisi St.
And no, Loewe will not paly at Brindisi, but Moose is back.

How do you think St Kevins coach Dave Murray feels about the way you pump up SKOB Brian?

Randy Pants...who's Dave Murray?

[ITSMYNAME]

I never said that your post had anything with what i said, this is my assesment of the jackas.....1 man team...ari is an absoloute gun, i would even go as far to say too good to be in the vafa, obviously loves to play with his mates which says something about a bloke....but after watching u guys for a few years....thats all u got really others can be shut down....interesting to see some results after this weekend's praccie matches...hopefully no injuries to anyone..

Dave would be embarassed, like everyone else at skob is.

Hey over, the 'who's Dave Murray?' line was a joke.

[overtheline]

Hey over, the 'who's Dave Murray?' line was a joke.

I realise it was a joke. I was refering to the general tone of many of your posts which are either running down clubs, coaches or players. It is growing a little tiresome.

I can't believe you suggested hailybury was providing financial inducement to players. Thats serious banter there Brian.

Overtheline, you are naive to think that it does not happen...Also, I suggest that you don't take this forum to seriously, like lots of things on the internet, half of what you read on here is bull s h i t and the other half made up!
So relax and if you cant have a laugh, don't post. I get the most crap thrown at me by posters, but I think it's funny, as Im sure they do.

Correct Benny. Love him or hate him, Brian is one of the few people that add a bit of spice to this otherwise rather dull forum. At times i would even go as far as to call him a comic visionary. It's all good natured banter anyway, even if most of Brian's posts are fertalizer.

Brian must also get some credit for discovering a rat in the ranks. A certain C section person in the VAFA forum with 2 identities that pretends to be from other clubs(although Brian/The master did this himself also).

Reports from the Hampton v Beauy games is that the rovers are terrible! One Beauy bloke told me that they will get pumped in C grade and may end in D.

St Bedes/Mentone Tigers had a convincing win over Southern League opposition in St Pauls. The tigers winning 21 goals to 7 goals. Also the week before the tigers had a 17 goal win over Anglesea at Anglesea

I hear that Fitzroy Reds have recruited very well and will be a force in C grade this year. Look out for a bloke named Daniel Zacek - have played with him in the ammos before and he is a very good footballer. Expect him to figure prominently in the league b and f.

Fitzroy Reds are all the hype aren't they, what are their strenghts? Do they have good midfield, a gun forward or a tight backline? OR are they just very even all over?

Any surprises at St Bedes, new recruits going well, anything like that? Sounds like they are travelling OK!

[CFE]

Ormond played Parade on 25/03/06 & by all reports it was a draw or Parade won by like 2 points.

I know there were 12 players missing from last years GF team, so to get close was great. Plenty of good under 19's played 1's in this game & did well which is encouraging.

Intra club this week (1/4/06) & a praccy v Hampton this coming weekend

The Reds are quick all over the ground, hard at it across all lines and very well skilled. Certainties for the top four if not top two

yep..must agree here. I have said all along that they are "overtheline" this year and they will be unstoppable in both Seniors and Reserves. They will play Ajax in GF.

[GetSmart]

I watched the game the other week and there was no suprises really the tigers looked strong all over the ground and ansty kicked 2 in the opening quarter off the half back line and Paul the "RAT" Wintle had his first game back from overseas and gathered plenty of the ball off the wing and another new recruit in Anthony Scafidi kicked 7. Also the young 16 year old in Bretty Collins kicked 5 off the wing. The tigers looked to play as a team and looked liked they enjoyed themselves with there new coach and his style of play.

How is Dave Kinsella going? He is an old team mate of mine at OMs! I am sure he will add a little bit of on and off field entertainment to the Stbedes line up!!!

Is the Damien Richie that plays at Fitzroy Reds the same one who played juniours with Eltham?

[brian speaking]

,,,,

[brian speaking]

Fancy going from the Junction Oval to Brinidisi St.... go figure?

Kinsella is a weak dog who hits blokes when they're not looking, he tries to make up for his lack of heart and ability cowardly violence on the field.

He will fit right in with the ferals down there!
Is he any relation to De La premiership player Damien?

[Dropkicker]

Big news today is that Daniel Zacek is set to leave Fitzroy Reds to sign with his old club North Old Boys. Will be a blow for the roys as I hear that Zacek has been starring in the practice matches. I think that NOBs may be a bit of a smoky this year - they are always likely to have 2 or 3 guns turn up on their doorstep looking for a game, especially now that they have the alliance with St Pats. Will be interested to see how they go down in the Cs

[Local Boy]

Has anyone heard anything about Parkdale. The St Bedes boys reckon they will get relegated,but last year they were pretty good. Is Kinsella such a big loss that they will go down? What other players do they have.They certainly dont have Sammy Anstey.

Gee hasn't this turned into a pretty willing thread. If you C grade boys want willing, come to an A grade game and watch OMs v OHail, it is usually on from the first bounce.

[i make sense]

kinsella must be the oldest player in c grade. is he going to play in a wheel chair this year??? saw him play 2 years ago and he couldn't get out of a trot. must be playing 2's footy at down there.:confused:

correct he is close to the dirtiest player in ammo's footy. but will fit in nicely with other thugs at the tigers (3 * wintles, moose etc).

From what I've heard, stuggled for numbers on the track early,but OK now. Have only lost about 3 players from 1sts. Would be quick to write them off as easy beats. The coach played on one leg last year, he's looking good so far and had enough good players in the 2nds to cover the holes.
That said not much depth, injurys will hit hard, 2s might not win a game.

[overtheline]

Mate ,you must be a skirt if you think the Wintle boys are thugs, they are good at sport but I doubt any of them could fight their way out of the old wet paper bag, I would love to play on them.( would give me a bath but I certainly would not be worried about thuggary ).

St Bedes went down narrowly( one goal) to Brighton today. Brighton nearly full strength and tigers have plenty to come back in.

Looking very, very good for the tigers this year.

[caveman]

I am a new supporter to the VAFA as my wife is an old Fitzroy supporter and we are coming down from Bendigo to watch the Fitzroy Reds.

Can someone do a run down of each team and their ins and outs for the year.

Thanks and GO REDS! :thumbsu:

[ITSMYNAME]

it was 3 goals overtheline, not 1, but yeh they are looking very good, with a few senior players missing....
