The saints are playing Murrembeena tomm, near full strength from a reliable source. Another 6 in from monash game plus another massive signing yesterday (jezza dwyer)
Also had alook at St Mary's, impressive skills for this time of the year, run hard and link up well to create multiple options. Not much in it at half time left early in 3rd Q not sure what happened after that. Monash had a few missing from what I could remember from last year - Wells still dominates.
On the drought, latest rain must of helped as Monash Council has just granted us permission to play praccy games on 21st April when we will be playing Bulleen.

Flagship? Is that a prediction for the flag this year?
Geez, that would be a big call for a new team in a 14 side competition.
They are bound to get better as they move forward. Great to watch (looked in on both their praccy matches). The play a similar game to Western Bulldogs. Like watching Speedy Gonzales on Crack.:D

That is very true and quite possibly the other dywer to return in next few weeks for rd 1.
Word from saints land is Club record goal kicker has returned to play this year. Eltham boys you might remember this lad as he kicked 17 goals in a games against you.

Witnessed game today between St Mary's and Murrumbeena divvy 2 side southern leauge relegated last year from divvy 1. St Mary's outrun outplayed and ran out eventual winners by 17 points. Had it not been for inaccuracy in front of goal margin might have been 10 goals as they had 12 more scoring shots. After interviewing St Marys dual coaches the commented that they were happy to get a win but more so for the physical hit out that the game produced. Selection dilemmas appear difficult for the new coaches as The St Marys list is growing ever stronger. Lane was a standout along with Murphy and headaches appear likely for opposition coaches due to the high skill level and hardness at the ball. One thing noted by all Murrumbeena players and officials was the intensity and desire that St Marys showed as it was the final hit out before the real season starts and the chance for St Mary's players to press for selection.

Don't get to carried away Keka, Beena have lost plenty of talent and have struggled for numbers due to not having a ground to train on.

Me and a couple of lads from the Nott went and watched Mt Waverly play Box Hill North yesday.
Both teams say they had a few players out. Ground was a dust bowl.
MW jumped out to kick 7 goals in front by early in 2nd. Memoery not what it should be, could have been that much at quarte time actually.
BH coach tore into his blokes at qt time. Called them lazy f....ers and said just because they weren't usin a Sherrin, Ross Faulkner wasn't going to poisn em if they happened to touch it. Then he reckons they are 2 weeks from playin a team they no nothing about (assume he meant Sth Mornington) and if they thought playing like they was on Vallium was good enough way to start a game they could take their big heads and go kick the dew off the grass in R1. Laugh lol. There was a cpl of other golden comments but can't remember what they were, they sell grog at Southern grounds ya know.
Think they took the hint coz they got stuck in after that.
Cut a long story short, the scoreboard showed them losing by about 19 pts at the final siren. Durin the second q a few of us saw the scoreboard putting 2 quick goals on MW when it was BH who scored em. Spoke to a guy from BH who was running for BH after game. He said the coach saw it happen 3 times, but refused to let his players know coz he didn't want them think they could get away with the slack 1st qtr. Geez they r tough even in prccy matches these days.
Most of me mates follow MW but I know the big bloke who is BH coach and have relly on wifes side plays magoos there. So I have seen em play a few times last year. Not rapped with the dry rules but. Only saw one new bloke in BH team. left footer with a shocking kicking style but hell could he thump it. Played out of back line. Wore number 8.
Ther was no Martini (big full fwd), Penny only spent one q on the ball but was everywhere when he went on it. This bloke looks better and stronger than last year. Little Odza did nothin till last quarter then racked up about 20 possys. Riscalla was good and played like he was pissed off with every body within the same post code. Reminds me off the old days. Actually he reminds me of how their coach used to play. Like a raging bull. Young fella 26 was probably there best. He was up fwd early then he seemed to be anywhere he liked. Got plenty of it though and used it well.
Still I think they have slipped a bit.
Bugger all depth in the magoos (saw last qtr and a bit) and they will struggle if they cop injuries to any of there guns.
Even if they get Martini back, his and Odza's best is a shadow of what they used to be. Penny is just too selfish and the rest seem to want to let him do all the work. Looks like their coach may be comng to the end of his rain. No coach of the year back to back lol.
Sorry Army if ya reading it. Ya not a bad bloke but time to hang em up and join us at the Nott again mate.

The boundary umpire in that game showed a bit of promise even if what looked like a troublesome lower leg injury hampered his pace a bit. If he is planning to play this season maybe he should give it a miss and just run the boundary instead.

Good hit out for both clubs, 6 quarter game. Very pleasing considering problems with numbers that Syndal had 33 players there on Saturday, with a number unavailable.
Mt Lilydale looked alright, fitter and better skills than we had which was understandable and ran out winners in both 3 quarter stages. Very pleased with a couple of new players for Syndal - we will be competative.
Must also comment on VAFA umpires on the day, very good certainly didn't put up with any crap from either side, especially language where they were red hot. Also Mt Lilydales ground was rock hard, and to think they have until recently been watering the ground.
Syndal will be playing Eley Park this week as Bulleen cancelled at last minute.

St Mary's are absolute morals for the flag! Two very impressive practice match wins with Papaluca racking up 40 touches in each.
Could he be the best player ever to play D4? Better than Paul edwards?
From third in an A grade comp b&f to d4, thats some drop in standard!

No, the reasin is he is trying to get "noticed" and was told he would stand out more in d4( he will certainly do that!)
He wants to get on a rookie lists and was advised this was the best way.

Regional Leagues Fantasy Footy League?
Seeking interest in players for a Regional Leagues fantasy footy comp.
This is a) not real footy and b) not pick-a-team-of-AFL-players footy. Its even lazier!
All you do is express interest, I'll do the rest via QOOTY, a crappy random aussie rules simulator I created years ago and have been trying to bring up to speed. FAQs here : http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showthread.php?t=75728
I'll try to collate a league of teams that are representative of the more popular local leagues here, so I need raised hands from the posters. I won't make up any names, I won't allow any sudden new arrivals.
So either post here or PM me if you want your Bigfooty alter-ego registered for a team.
Hopefully we can turn some rivalries into some even more potent partnerships!
I'll probably aim for starting the season, say, end of next week. I MAY have to be an inflexible prick with okaying a team and treating latecomers.
For this season, hopefully the inaugural season of an ongoing league, all we need are 20 players per team. There is already a Fantasy league, more closely based on the AFL clubs, at Bigfooty, here : http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=30 - its into its 7th season and has developed a bit of history! There is also another league at another footy forum site, this year with only 3 teams but had been as strong as 5 clubs in its 3 year tenure.
So get in touch if you're interested. Remember you don't have to do anything apart from dob your Bigfooty nickname in for a spot. Please tell me which club/league of regional footy you would prefer to be aligned with (please state both).
We'll see how we go. If it doesn't happen, ah well, if it happens later than I hope ... I'll still give it a burl.
Onward lads! ...
we get scouts down at KB all the time, so maybe he should play for us?...
Solid gold wazza. I can even see the photo was taken at KB. Market Garden fence in background.:thumbsu:
On another note; my usual sources are coming up empty on Sth Mornington.

Would have to agree, you said someone advised him to do this, I would be looking elsewhere for career advice from now on.
Falcon07 Career advice came from Melbourne FC who have said to Papaluca to work on some areas of his game. The St Marys coaches have spoken to the hierachy at Melbourne and it is possible that he may be rookie listed next year. At the age of 20 Papaluca has nothing left to prove in amateur footy he did it last year for Marcellin. As for why would he want to drop in standard i can safely let you know that when you are not concerned with receiving dollars to play but want to play with your mates this is the reason. Having watched him first hand in 2 praccy games and seen him on the track i have no doubt he could contribute at the elite level. Even if he did not make AFL seniors no doubt he would be a consistent VFL player. The Kids only 20 years old and plenty of time left in footy.
Scouts already know who he is and how he plays so if there is any other kids out there thinking they might have what it takes to make it make sure you watch him play.
That being said no team is a one man show and if you think by stopping Pappa you are going to shut down St Marys then i know 20 other players that will argue with you.
St Marys are lucky to have someone of his talent but more so for the example he sets when it comes to hard work on the track.
Good luck all for the season. Keka

Funny because I know a couple of young blokes chasing places on the rookie list and they were told A grade ammos would be the lowest standard of footy they could play if they were any chance, these boys are on Sandys list as well which we know is affiliated with Melbourne???
Oh well the kid sounds good no matter what his reasons are, cant hurt for the level of footy to improve in the division, he will obviously dominate and be a handful for any team. Even without him I have heard St Marys are pretty impressive, only a week and we will all be back into it.

They'll do so again this year too if the word on the street is correct... Gun forward/onballer D Roll is no longer involved in the club

Not to bad mate, we had about 40 at training last night which is ok considering we are still training Monday/Wed and are not back on our own home ground yet.
Couple of decent new blokes, but mostly just the same list from last year.
Will hopefully carry a bit of our end of season form and start a lot better this year than last.

Saw an Eley Park guy at the gym recently. He was looking in great shape but couldn't lift his arms above his head. Lived vicariously by helping me do chinups though (they're too hard for me to do alone!).
Go Sharks!

Can't wait, the delayed season has just made two weeks feel like forever.
Agree, the next week and a bit can't come quick enough for the boys at Richmond can't wait for the season to start, big improvers this season!
If they're the fruits of your recruiting drive 2007 might be very similar to 2006
Some of those kids are GUNS.... watch out.
The gurus back to weight into the papaluka debate. being a saints man myself i'd tend to have to agree it is an unusual path to take to try and get notice for afl scout as i'm lead to believe its a little bit of a step up from d4 to afl. but we are rapt to have him on board. but moving on saw the saints play on the weekend and they looked pretty good particularly in hte midfield however i still have reservations about the forward line as they maybe relying on the mid field to kick all the goals and i think they could be in for a surprise come round 1 and i think that mt lilydale may just getr over the line.
guru out!
we get scouts down at KB all the time, so maybe he should play for us?...

:cool:hope there are some ump scouts watching D4 games this year,I might make it to the AFL yet:D
I've seen and experienced first hand the standard of umpiring in d4, so your no chance!
PS.

Isn't there a connection between St Marys and Hawthorn. I remember Ferguson at Melbourne knew well before draft that Melb were looking at him and he was playing Frankston ressies at the time. AFL clubs go to great lengths to hide talent especially if they know the kid can play and they are looking at possibily the rookie list initially.

Ump scouts are everywhere, hiding in bushes, lurking behind cars, peering out from under rocks... rest assured whatever you do on the field will get back to HQ in some form or another.
If you want to rise above D4, I've heard that a good way is to attend training at Elsternwick one or two nights a week and put in 110% when you're there. That way you get seen by the right people, and when someone higher up the food chain dies or shuffles off to start goal umpiring, then you're in with a shot at the lofty heights of D2 or even (gasp) D1.
AFL requires you to get L1 and L2 accreditation, then a recommendation from VAFA for a VFL trial. Make it through the VFL seniors and get L3 accreditation and you too could be running out in a red jersey to the screams and concentrated hate of 50,000 fans.
Hey, if that token-chick goal umpire in Brissy can get a game, sure as hell you can...
That's all hearsay mind, but my source is usually reliable.

Hell no, I was just surfing the VAFA and AFL websites and got to talking to some of the men in white at quarter time when taking out the drink bottles. Listened to them having a whinge about how hard it is to get into senior grades.
And my other source is a twos player who went off to become a fieldie, but still spends time at the club.

When we played them last year they had run out of players for their reserves! Had blokes doubling up everywhere. If bigwaz is correct in that they haven't even been on their ground it would be a concern. Is thier ground playable???
Guru what is the basis for such a statement??:rolleyes:

Thaey have probably turned over their whole list. we played them in a match in march and they were a lot different to last year.

Hey big Waz
By the sounds of it the big recruiting sign down on swan street has done the trick for your boys. With all these extra numbers do you reckon Hutto (the bloke who runs like a welshman) will play ones or twos this year? Hows the ground holding up too?

Ahh... Huddo will unfortnuately be playing back at his beloved South Yarra this season. We only had him on a one year contract. Pity that.

I spoke to their new coach (ex Frankston/Kew I think) some weeks ago now and was very impressed with his attitude and plans for season 2007. We played them last year and they were yuk but I believe they have recruited well with plenty of blokes from vic uni, even tried to poach some of our players (SMD).
May start slow due to not training on their ground but I do expect them to be in the mix come September.

Fair point but i do remember same thing was the deal with murphy from nth brunswick a few years ago.
Played D4 then did pre-season at western bulldogs only to walk out.
No malice to the kid, anyone at St Mary's, or anyone else in D4 footy, but it seems a strange flight path to a better grade of footy.
Almost time for the ruminating to stop & the real stuff to start....
Richmond to give North Brunswick a towelling.

UHSVU have apparently recruited very well. My inside man tells me they'll be back on their ground soon and are raring to go. Reckons the attitude at the club is 100% improved on last year and the phrase "bounce straight back up" was mentioned!

Big Call?
Pencil in St Marys to whitewash Mt Lilydale, Box Hill Nth to demolish whipping boys Sth Mornington, UHS likewise over Syndal, and the 2 tough games to predict, maybe the Snakes by a whisker over Nth Brunswick and Eltham by a grain of sand over Albert Park.
Take out Sth Mornington, Richmond, Mt Lilydale and Syndal and the battle for 3 finals positions is wide open. Yes, St Marys will have a mortgae on top spot. Improvers Albert Park. Papaluca will dominate, but as said previously he has plenty of support.

Why not add another flip of the coin? Bulleen over Eley Park.
Can we get some ground reports from the home teams?
KB is pretty patchy and not improving, it has been graded and reseeded but is in desperate need of a good soaking (hopefully this weekend, fingers crossed). There will most likely be a few grazes next weekend. The council has asked us to fill in ground reports twice a week.

why not estimate margins boys see how close we are in 10 days.
uni high by 15 goals over syndal
saints forfiet with distance issues getting to mt lilydale
eltham easily by 40+ over the albert park boys
box hill to win with south morny having a clean sheet
the 2 other games i think will be very close matches and i expect
brunswick to beat the centrals by 12 points
eley park to come from behind in the last and get the choccies by 2 points over bulleen.
New interpretation of AFL rules will have the umpires confusing us more than ever. Hopefully no reports or injuries. Hope it rains for three days a week before to soften up all ground across the state because if we won the toss i'd probably bat.
Sorry if i offend any of you peninsular boys havent heard much about you. welcome to the amateurs and good luck this year.
Go saints.
