Surely someone here gives Bulleen a crack this week. Cookson is back in - trained the house down last night. We have a few more guys coming back down too so hopefully we will put up a good show. Realistically it may be a battle for the bottom couple of spots, but we have improved everyweek (let's face it we had to) and we will take our share of scalps this year. C'mon cobras!

Wasn't that supposed to be the surprise inclusion that Mt Lilydale didn't know about. You know the spanner in the works?????!!! Just kidding big fella.
Should be good competition tomorrow - a bit of splash & dash in the mud.

got to love the wet conditions - paradise for me! Much fun to be had tomorrow. We just need to ensure the umpires look after the guys going hard at it - taking the front position or making the play. In other words - look after me buddy! LOL!

And don't believe a word Browny says.
The real reason he quit the cobras was that he did'nt want to play with a bunch of hacks.
We are missing a heap, at least 12 definite seniors and probably 24 across the club, not just injury but a heap unavialible for various reasons.
You should definitely underestimate us Waz we will really be struggling ; )
Touche :)
I dont think its possible for the Snakes to underestimate anyone!
This is going to be a tough game for both sides.
And BTW, I'll be strapping on the boots in the Ressies for the first time this year... look out!!!

Another unnamed dude who is having a crack. Clearly that isn't true and I am sure you need to pick your mark better than Browny. He has stuck by the club through tougher times than this and has put his hand up more often than most.
Hopefully by this time on Saturday we will have proven all the doutbers wrong - won the ressies, and are well on the way to winning the seniors as well.

My tips will stay roughly the same:
South Mornington - too good at home - also a long way to travel on an ordinary day.
Eltham too good - even though they don't like the wet too much at home they will be too good.
St Marys to good for Box Hill Nth - will be a close one.
I'm picking the snakes to beat Albert park - I think they will really take it up to the Falcons in the wet - too many injuries.
I can't decide between Eley Park and Syndal - will be close - no home ground advantage - the sharks without confidence.
And the COBRAS to win a good game at Lilydale.
All games should be closer than expected with the wet conditions slowing scoring.

I disliked hawthorn as much as anyone, but give credit where credit is due. JP is a good bloke & I know of a few other blokes that played at Hawthorn who were good guys.
There was a comment earlier about a few guys that Ed Sill is trying to take care of. Good luck to him because everyone who played against them last year knows who the tossers were....
At the same time, every club has a tosser or two playing for them. Put any random 50+ blokes together & there will be at least 2-3 that you'd prefer not to share space with. That's just a fact of life.
Totally Agree here.
We seem to have good ride with ours. But then again ask any opposition players about our guys and they will say the same.
How is the rain? Awesome for us old fat blokes!

my tips 4 the week
Eltham over UHS -VU - 24 points
St Marys over BHN - 16 points
Syndal over Eley Park - 4 points
Bulleen over Mt Lyl - 20 points
South over North Brunny by 50 points
ALbert Park over Richmond - 6 points
Eltham over UHS -VU - 6 points
St Marys over BHN - 26 points
Syndal over Eley Park - 14 points
Bulleen over Mt Lyl - 2 points
South over North Brunny by 5 points
ALbert Park over Richmond - 26 points
J.Dwyer kicked 12 goals, StMarys win by 10 goals.
Funny how so many people thought it would be close.
Eltham had a good win over UHS and Albert Park fell over the line against Richmond.
Gut wrenching loss for the boys at Beaurepaire Pavillion... We dominated the second half but couldn't get the points on the board :(
Well done to Albert Park... This makes up for the close loss they suffered last week.
We can't wait to play them on the wide open spaces of KB reserve !!!
How were St Mary's BHN? Better than expected?

According to the VAFA website UHVU was in front at 3/4 time but didn't score in the last - Turtles kicked 7 ???? Bit odd any one see it - good game skill level etc?? St Mary's were ultra impressive.:o

Saw most of the game Saturday St Marys v BHN.
Tight game until half time, then St Marys booted well clear.
Onballers for St Marys dominated.
St Marys too good around the stoppages and were harder and more determined to win the footy.
BHN will bounce back though. Their height and strength will test most teams and I reckon they will be around the mark come finals time.

Was there something up with the full back? 12 goals from anybody is super impressive regardless of how good the supply is (and I imagine it was pretty good).

21 May 2007, 11:07
I can Imagine the delivery was excellent but 12 goals is still a great effort. If Dwyer can keep this kind of form St Mary's will be near unbeatable, and remember he didn't play against Eltham.
So... How can the Snakes overcome the Saints this week? Tactics?
It was soooo close for The Cobras on the weekend against Mt Lilydale, soooo close. They will be better for it me thinks.

Was great to see Cookson back in the Cobra jumper on the weekend he was back to his best again with 4 goals and 30 touches, pity the boys couldnt get over the line in the end. Suppose it was always going to be difficult when you don't score in the last quarter to hold on.
One great thing thats happening at Cobra land is the their website gotta be the best going around in D4 boys get on and have a look:
http://www.bulleencobras.asn.au (http://www.bulleencobras.asn.au/)
With 'bonse's blog' going hammer and tong on all the goss on and off the field and chief D4 cameraman Theo Karanikos taking all the quality snaps makes for some great viewing. Whisper from the Pres is that big Theodore has been asked to take snaps for the local Jewish Bar Mitzvah, seems they just cant get enough of his quality imagery.
Disappointing not to see Glenno's (the Bulleen Goal Umpire for D4)not make it down to lilydale, rumor has it he may have consumed one or two many Vodka and pineapple UDL's the night before and missed the team the bus.
Looking foward to the Cobras social event this saturday night the quiz night should be a bang, all boys get down there for more info see the website and hope the boys can cause a major upset and knock off the eltham boys on the weekend. :)
A win for both Eley Park teams!
The reserves won 7 points.

It certainly seems that way... but there is a looong way to go. Who knows what will happen as it is amateur footy after all. Players go OS, get new jobs, get married etc.
I'm expecting half of BHN team to play for us in the second half of the season after they get a taste of playing at Punt Rd Oval in round 10 :D.
Do any other sides have any big out of the ordinary celebrations planned this season? Its our 20th anniversary... cant wait. Though I dont think I'll be getting a run somehow... Only got 3 touches against albert park and was only on the ground for a half. Obviously the reserves coach has a lot of faith in me :)

Keka, That train from the Saints is XPRESS through Box Hill. No contest. If wet may restrict scores but say Sainters by an easing up 9 goals.
Sth Mornington with a big win over Nth Brunswick, Eltham comfortably from UHS by 8 goals plus, Mt Lilydale with a well deserved 4 points from Bulleen, Albert Park to tame the Snakes by 30 points and Eley Park just a maybe against the Sinners.

Dude... I'd say we're not far behind BHN if they only just pipped AP by a goal at home. We could easily have beaten AP at their home ground. So by extrapolation we should be on a level with BHN? Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself... but I would suggest we could put up as good a fight against St Marys as BHN did. Hopefully :)
My Tips:
North Brunswick to get on the board by a couple over Eley Park.
UHS-VU and Sth Mornington... too close to call, very similar sides from what I hear? Probably UHS-VU by a couple.
Syndal to beat AP by 1...
BHN to beat Mt Lily by 5 goals.

I'll bet... And our big FF dropped a mark within distance with about 5 seconds to go... bloody exciting stuff. Both of our wins have been like that, and to be honest, at the start of that quarter we thought we had you guys. Your players did well along the half back line in the final quarter.

Im glad to see u guys on the winners list and here of the improvement but St Marys are very strong, with the full forward that kicks 12 against BHN and a super midfield they will be hard for any side to stop let alone Richmond.
If u guys play attacking (which i think a team always should) they blow u out of the water, only way u'll stand a chance of not losing by 60+ points is ultra defencive, congested, ugly footy....

No disrespect intended to St Marys, they are a great club, but definatley not that far apart from other clubs also in D4.

Hi Hollywood - well I guess we are improving and we need to keep improving. It was disappointing we couldn't get the job done against Lilydale - we certainly had our chances. We still have plenty of young and in-experienced guys running around - the reserves have about 10 players who have played only 4 games of senior footy. They will certainly be better with a season under their belt but as they continue to learn we will have some great performances and some poor ones. They challenge for us is to keep the poor ones to a minimum. I expect it to be a good challenging game this week against the turtles.
King Cobra is still around - but he claims he is busy working and doesn't have time to respond any more.
Big Waz, howz my mate Burgeo going mate? He's dissapeared from Bigfooty...good luck boys for this weekend...:thumbsu:
He's about to go to Asia on another holiday I next week I think... which will be a challenge with a torn Medial and ACL :( Poor bastard. Surgery upon return?
anyway.... I believe he is organising a junior run-on game for half time at our senior match against BHN in round 10 at Punt Rd. Should be a bit of fun... Do you have anything to do with that? Send me a private message if you have any info.

Who was it that mozzed us last week? Someone made mention of no D4 players making the trip to Elsternwick on Tuesday evenings. Talk about tempting fate. Syndal player cops 4 and Uni chap takes 2. Was young Garrard wrongly fingered? No mention of his outcome.
Holly, was the 'Dipierdiminico Defence' tabled?

Cheers Spy, I love the "young" comment. No defence required as a witness though.:thumbsu:
They really should give more information. Glad you have cleared your impeccable name by stating the facts here. How hard would it be for the responsible person at VAFA to type 'witness' next to a name when listing it on the site on Mondays. I know of one lad who received a very harsh message from his mum in Queensland after she had seen his name on the tribunal appearance sheet. Poor bloke couldn't reply to tell her he was the victim, as his jaw was wired up.:eek:
To Anyone who is involved with a amatuer footy club,
Do you have any problems with keeping reserves players staying at on to support the seniors?
Do you have any problems with getting numbers to training?
Do you have any problems with players paying game monies and subs?
I am a committee member of an amatuer club. I am becoming increasingly worried that a culture which existed for years is not being eraticated by the influx of new players. I am wanting to know what suggestions you people may have in regards to the above. Any idea will do...I suppose.
Thank You.

Apparently that is what I said. From all reports Albert Park almost got knocked off by Richmond at their own home ground, so I expect Richmond to bounce when they play at home, even against Saint Marys (who at some stage will become complacent - why not against RC who everyone expected to win wooden spoon easily at the start of the season). Conversely I expect AP to flop after just scraping away with the win. Syndal sound like they had a shakey start to the season, but are starting to group together and will push some teams where it was expected.
But as always, these are but opinions, even if to just shake up the norm.

Do you have any problems with keeping reserves players staying at on to support the seniors?

Thank You.
Best way to keep the reserves to hang around is making them realise that they are as much a part of the senior team as the players on that day. So part of training. Welcome in the rooms before, during, and after the game. Linked to the second question, making sure that lots of seniors turn up to training, and reserves players know who they are. Quite often it seems that a senior player who is good won't bother turning up to training, but knows he will get a game irrelevant. The side effect of this is that you end up with reserves players who don't even know the name of a senior player in their own club.
Getting numbers to training. As long as people know they are improving they will turn up. Enthusiasm from coaching staff and leadership group helps a lot. If training twice a week, making the second night as much a social event as training helps (we're D4 after all).
Not sure on the money one.
I don't think new players are something to be concerned about. Unless they come in large bunches, they will always look to the older heads for what and how things are done. The culture tends to be more dictated by these people that have been with the club for years. I know when a club has been down for a bit, it can take a year or two for this culture to reassert itself, but eventually it will.
All personal experience and don't know if it's the same in every club.

I actually witnessed the striking incident on the eley park player and it was one of the most cowardly and cheap shots iv seen. I think a little lucky to only get the 4 weeks.
Ended up costing them the game to as they only had 17 players in the dying minutes...

This is the bane of many an amateur club .
Some ideas.
Have a good mix of players and others on committee
Pick a leader from the reserves- not neccessarily the captain- more a social leader and make them and a couple of others responsible for running the bar after the senior match- Offer them discounts from their subs as incentive
Give out beer vouchers to reserves best players that can only be redeemed after the senior game- need to be at least a couple of cans to be worthwhile
run raffles during senior match- get ressies players to run them, half the proceeeds to club half to end of season trip
as mentioned by the cat man- seniors have to show similar respect- turn up to watch the ressies before their own prematch- not just one or two players- the whole squad- the senior coach can make this a requirement of playing seniors.
injured senior players do water for ressies
RE subs payments- options are no pay no play- givew players an opportunity to talk to oyu about payment difficulities, but dont give them multiple chances or they will abuse the system- offer those with payment difficulties other small jobs to reduce their costs- eg clean rooms on a thursday night etc
Numbers at training you cannot do much about until your coaches reward those who train, no use having a one training compulsory rule unless your coaches respect that- if there is a special exception players need to know why and it has to be a genuine reason.
Culture change is a slow process but a neccessary one for many clubs
stick at it- if you and others are determined - stick at it

U need to start ur culture by getting 2gether and i no this may sound bad to some, but getting on the grog in a big way always works, drinking games etc after a massive satday night most ppl turn up on tuesday to see the bloke who got his head shaved or got locked up etc etc
i dunno i might b wrong here but i think it works

Mate, I can probably give the secrets to the universe easier, and you have got some great advice here...(So have I too)
I keep my guys around for the seniors by telling them to take an interest in the players who play their position. Ie..CHF watches the CHF etc to know how to improve their game. (And watch the oppositions one too)
Getting numbers to training probably depends on the numbers on your list, and the requirement to turn up to training to get a game. Most of our blokes go to training because our training isnt run of the mill and isnt boring. (Thanks to our snr coach!)
As for the money side of things, Bigwaz is a gun at that stuff!
Good luck mate, we would all love to have it easier, but then it wouldn't be D4 ammo's!
ps: Getting out with the lads and getting smashed is integral to male bonding!

Tinhead Colleagues
This week's fixtures look to be a walk in the park in comparison to last week. Let's keep our perfect record in tact.
North Brunswick to go down to Eley Park by 3 goals.
UHS by 25 points over an improving South Mornington outfit on the road.
Box Hill North by 43 points over Mt Lilydale.
Eltham by 75 points down at Bulleen.
St Marys by 62 points at the Snakepit.
AND what could be a real danger game for the Falcons at Syndal. Go for Albert Park by 21.
Any news on the injury toll at Falcon land? Spots 3 and 4 look to be wide open this year.

I still believe UHS-VU & BHN will fill those 3 & 4 spots, I'll wait untill after next week to pass judgement on where I believe BHN are at though? Still a long way to go and even St Mary's & ourselves still need to play good footy each week and can't get complacent!
South Mornington or Albert Park could the others to suprise with a finals spot IMO.

This weeks games will give us more of an idea on how South Morny are travelling. Interesting to see Uni High reserves get so close to Eltham's. They must have good depth out there at the zoo and therefore must be right in calculations come finals time. Uni high for me by 36 points.
BHN take on Lilydale. Box Hill will be confident in getting the points here and will be hard displace coming off the rebound. BHN by 29 points.
North Brunswick take on Eley Park . The Allard park boys need a win and i think will break through this week. North by 14 points.
* North Brunswick magoos to kick a cricket score.*
Albert park v Syndal. Too much riding in this for Albert park. Them by 19 points.
Bulleen v Eltham. Sorry Bulleen, last week must have ripped your guts out to be that close to your first win for the season. Wont get any easier this week with Eltham hardened by a tough match up against Uni. Eltham by 76 points.
Finally the Ladder leaders St Mary's take on a very competitive Richmond side. Richmond have nothing to lose in this one and will be confident of a brave showing. However in my opinion that Express train wont be slowing down this week. DR Dwyer's return from Sydney at an average of nine goals per game has lifted those around him. Adam Lane controls the backline like a general and would be a big candidate for D4 team of the year honours. St Marys backline has conceded the least amount of points against this year and i cant see Richmond kicking a big enough score.
St Mary's to win and still be a game clear of Eltham, Uni, & BHN.

Gotta Love the tribunal. Had a malee against Nth Brunny a couple of years ago. Super soft one too!
As footballers, we know most of these are caused by the umpires not having control over the game at the time....letting things go to far. Also, where are the days of the umpires coming into the rooms before the game, addressing the teams etc. It built great respect and rapport! I mentioned this to our umps two weeks ago and they don't think its nescessary at a senior level. We are now getting the umps to come into the rooms in the ressies prior to the game to say g'day and tell us what they expect in terms of fairness and how they umpire. Will Help out heaps and blokes are far less likely to give em crap when they see them as people. I rekon the snr umps can take a leaf out of that.
Good luck on the weekend everyone and go snakes!

The gurus back boys and have noticed a lot of talk about the saints from some quarters. And being a sainter myself i've gotta say a lot of it is crap. I think the sainters will be in for a hell of a shock if they actually believe this rubbish (thats if these people are really saint people at all!) because unitil i see a forward down at the club they won't match eltham!
guru out!
Ahhhh Question Guru1. Does 18 goals in two games count as seeing a forward down at the club? I think it might. (and he didnt play against Eltham)

Good Point. They probably don't need to do it in the top grades, but I think in D4 where there are lots of new faces each week it should be mandatory. I doubt the VAFA would do anything about it though, they're too busy handing out $5 fines to D4 clubs for incorrect interchange cards :)

St Mary's have the game plan and structure but Eltham have the quality of players. In the end structure can be beaten with a bit of planning but good players take a lot more to break. 3 or 4 guns at St Mary's but definitely beatable. Interesting to see Hawthorn and Powerhouse doing well in D3. Good signs for us D4 clubs as i thought both of those teams weren't overly impressive last year. I pick Eltham to go up a grade this year and then come close to doing the same the year after if they can keep their players and gel together as a team.
My tip for Richmond is to keep your positions. Don't get sucked into their game play. And forget about the whole tagging ploy. It's a waste of a player for you and a boost of confidence to players on the other team that truthfully don't deserve to be tagged.
Good luck to all teams tomorrow.
