Managed to squeze yourself in there coach i see!!! LOL.
Go centrals for 5 in a row next week. What a phenomenal comeback by the snakes and bad luck to Ely Park losing both games to Snakes in the final term by a small margin - a good game played pretty much in the right spirit.
Nellup I ruck for snakes and I have a question for you about 2 things football:
It seems that some umpires pay the free kick for obstruction by the other ruckman (e.g. forcing the ruckmen to more or less run directly or at a fairly reasonable angle to get a good leaping contest) where others want to encourage a wrestle in the middle by allowing the ruckman to stand in front and use their bodies in the centre bounce to shepherd out the other ruckman (I think this is more ok around the ground). What is the actual rule on this?
In the game on the weekend I took a mark and the defender was on my nose attempting to hold up the play. So I gave him the lightest feather touch palm (imagine petting a new born kitten) to push him away so I could play on and I'm not sure if the ground shook or the wind blew him over or how it happened exactly, but he fell over and you reversed my mark and give him a free. What is the ruling on pushing off defenders to play on? Thanks

Clarry,I am on very soft ground answering personel decisions i have made but i won't shy away,I have always believed umps can be criticised so if i refused to answer you it would be a bit soft ,so I will.
Your Point 2 first,if you recall, i gave the signal for too high,in my opinion your contact was near the neck of the player and as i recall i said "got him up near the throat mate",that is why i reversed it.You will find most umps will not look kindly on any unwarranted contact.I was very close and had the situation in control and in my opinion your contact was not needed.
Your Point 1,rucking styles are up to the players,not the ump,in VAFA the ruckmen are allowed to approach from any direction,unlike other leagues where they must be opposite,players trying to contest the ball must be allowed to do so,if a players run is blocked and in the umps opinion the player doing the blocking is not going for the ball but rather is just try to stop the other players run,a free will result;It is again the umps opinion as is the case in many of our rules,but,if one player has his eyes up at the ball and the other has his back to the ball moving into the players line it is obvious one is going for the ball and one not.

Hahahahaa i would love the chance to play on him, never been 1 to shy a way from a challange, but i think my season is done and dusted.

Thanks Nellup - in the heat of the moment I must have missed it, now that you mention it I do recall you signalling it was too high. I did get him in the high part of the chest so fair enough. Thanks for clearing that and the ruck contest up. Most appreciated.

I'm not sure how Brett Gatehouse has been left out of team of the year talks he is young but has gone from strength to strength with gut-busting runs. Admittedly his Headband does look rather gay but he tells me the chicks dig it. His evasive skills and penetrating kicks off either foot have me believe that he will be one of the most damaging players in this year's finals. It would not surprise me with 4 best on ground showings in these last 4 rounds he could snare the Clubs B&F. His nickname is Ali and some say that ALI was the best of all time. (Ali-gator) is one to watch.

I hope you Eley park lads can do us a favour and knock off Syndal this week. Though it's always tough out on their ground. Both teams seem to be in good form? Of course Syndal would have to go in as favourites... So bring on the upset!

Ok rd 16 tips.
North Brunswick over South Morn (south have really dropped the bundle, interesting to see Mirabella in best- what happened to his tribunal appearance?)
Eltham over Uni High 37pts
St Marys 59pts over BHN
Syndal 19pts over Eley Park
Mt Lilydale 39pts over Bulleen (which would mean massive game when BHN and mt Lilydale meet next week)
Albert Park 9pts over Richmond
Ok im going to get something else going.
My top 4 prediction taking into consideration matches to come.
Eltham
Uni High
St Marys
Mt Lilydale

FINALS
Eltham vs Uni
St Marys vs Mt Lilydale
Box Hill to loose against St marys and Mt lilydale and to miss final 4 on %

8 Aug 2007, 14:55
My Top 4 Prediction
Eltham
UHS
St Marys
BHN
---------
FINALS
Eltham vs UHS
St Marys vs BHN
Small Ground will suit BHN and St Marys, UHS won't be fussed either way and Eltham will dislike a smaller oval.
Nth Bruns should easily beat South Morn, but the reserves will be a huge game with SM making a big push for finals inclusion. It will be a much more exciting game than the seniors.
I think Eltham have shown they are the top team in D4, and should beat uhs. Thus cementing the minor premiership.
St Marys haven't been going really well, but BHN haven't been in top form either..so St Marys to get up in the final preview. Look out for the replay in three weeks!
Eley park have been unlucky the past two weeks, while the ball has bounced well for Syndal. Syndal are the faves, but it will be close.
Mt Lilidale... must win game.
Richmond will extend its winning streak to 5 games by defeating AP, winning the rematch at KB reserve by one solitary point.
BTW AP, KB has been rolled and is looking sh*t hot. If the rain stays away it'll be a fast open game.
I have missed the past two senior games so i'm really looking forward to this one. Go snakes !!!
Good luck with that no rain request bigwaz. At this stage the forecast for Friday night / Saturday doesn't look too promising. :(
It's a pity you dont run the canteen because you guys had thye best looking canteen ladys in the whole of D4. I hope they are back next year....lol.

Found this today on the VAFA website:
Results of Investigations – Tuesday August 7, 2007
The Hawthorn Amateur Football Club charged with conduct unbecoming during their senior match against La Trobe University on Saturday July 28, 2007 at Hawthorn.
The specific charge is as follows:
That during the last quarter of the match it is alleged that Hawthorn Amateur player (no. 14) Daniel Lauletta left the playing arena and approached and wrestled La Trobe University team manager and La Trobe University spectators.
Player pleaded guilty, suspended for 2 matches.
What a sicko. A fair fall from grace from a player who only a few years ago was voted as being the B&F of D4.

Not sure about this one. Seems a bit strange he was only given 2 weeks for what would appear a very serious offence. Don't know the details, but the charge does not always give you a full story.

Agree!
The wrap sheet sounds worse than it must have been for him to only get 2 weeks!
I would have thought if someone leaves the sporting arena and makes contact with a supporter member of other teams support staff would be looking atleast 6weeks minimum.
That sums up the VAFA and there decisions i must say though.

I reckon ur spot on Coach, he is a big rig and knows how to blew and im sure if he wanted to do some proper damage he would have, 2 weeks suggests didnt do to much damage and was a push and shove...
Its interesting to see how well they have gone, they have suprised me, they werent that good last year to suggest a top 2 side in d3 this yr, did they recruit some players??

A few blokes in the D3 forum reckon he is pretty lucky. Still if no-one gets hurt what is wrong with a bit of passion! I am positive he would have been getting a mouth full from the LA TROBE bench..besides if he had of just told them to 'f%$$ off' he would have got 4 weeks!

We are better than the rest
We are the mighty box hill north
We're the team that sticks together
It's always our endeavour,
to win where ever we go.
We honor the colours,
the new and the old.
and we'll strive for a premiership flag to unfold.
and no more will we lag
until we win that treasured flag
we are the mighty Box Hill North.
Nth Bruns should easily beat South Morn, but the reserves will be a huge game with SM making a big push for finals inclusion. It will be a much more exciting game than the seniors.
I think Eltham have shown they are the top team in D4, and should beat uhs. Thus cementing the minor premiership.
St Marys haven't been going really well, but BHN haven't been in top form either..so St Marys to get up in the final preview. Look out for the replay in three weeks!
Eley park have been unlucky the past two weeks, while the ball has bounced well for Syndal. Syndal are the faves, but it will be close.
Mt Lilidale... must win game.
Richmond will extend its winning streak to 5 games by defeating AP, winning the rematch at KB reserve by one solitary point.
BTW AP, KB has been rolled and is looking sh*t hot. If the rain stays away it'll be a fast open game.
I have missed the past two senior games so i'm really looking forward to this one. Go snakes !!!
With regards to Sth Morn ressies, they only had 14 players befor elast weeks game and they top it up with seniors who make a huge differance - eg senior capt, midfielders. As you rightly suggested the ressies game could be interesting.

Thats exactly what happened with us... we were up at 3qtr time by 2 goals, then the seniors came on and we didn't kick another point!
I hear none of the coaches fancied auditioning for Oz Idol last night. Several approached by BH boys. All declined. Some of the stuff they did with Benny Goodman and the boys in white down at VAFA HQ was hilarious.
Turns out the umpires DO have a sense of humour.

Any D4 Coaches willing to sing the BHN Theme Song over the phone to me?
Having a scavenger hunt tonight and 1 task is to get an opposition coach to sing the BHN theme.
Any Takers? Manny? Holly?
Msg me if you're keen, and I'll give you a call.
Song Is:
We're the best
We stood the test
We are better than the rest
We are the mighty box hill north
We're the team that sticks together
It's always our endeavour,
to win where ever we go.
We honor the colours,
the new and the old.

Sorry Ruck Machine you posted too late, at 5pm I was well under way with my preparations for last nights training session by then!
Haven't & hopefully never will hear that song anyways...;):p

As usual, I was one of those ensuring no one stole the bar, I was leaning on bar for security reasons till well after Mrs Spy thought I should have been home.
So I can report that the Penny led team (Not The Full Quid) did win the night. They all are to get a free meal next Thursday and a drink as well.
Af and Corker's 'OdCocks' fell some 1100 pts short for 2nd and Rhys and Steeley's 'Steel Balls' won the wooden spoon but had some of the funniest task attempts.
A quick snap shot was 2 blokes drove trams, 2 went through Maccas and purchased cheese burgers on push bikes, one fool did a nude run down Bourke St, one wore a mankini in Fed Square, 3 changed into Super Hero outfits in phone boxes (Super Suasage Man might not get a 'G rating), 3 stunners who were complete strangers wore a BH jumper and nothing else, numerous present and past AFL players wore the red number, a 1929 Richmond membership card was produced, a German backer packer joined in a sculling contest, 2 autographs of Benny Goodman, 3 autographs from the President of Whitehorse Pioneers, a few games of kick to kick with senior VAFA umpires and 2 players donned a VAFA ump shirt and bounced the pill in the centre of Elsternwick Park.
The highlight of the night though was the presentation of funds from Proteus Leadership Centres, raised via the head shaving night, to young Ted Hood. Des Penny was rewarded for his check with two presents from young Ted himself that put at least 2 females attending into tears.
Sometimes footy clubs aren't all about playing. Their about being a club.

Spy, you are 100% spot on.
The word "culture" is branded around footy clubs a fair bit. BHN certainly look like they have the mix right.
Sometimes footy takes a backseat to life issues, and in the case of Ted, the sponsors, players. coaching staff and general community have been nothing short of amazing.
FYI for those that don't know, Ted has just turned 3 and was diagnosed with cancer in May. He has been undergoing intense chemotheraphy treatment and this will continue for a way yet.
If anyone "needs" to be part of a fun, progressive and fantastic football environment, I suggest keep the peepers on the BHN website for pre-season details for 2008.
You will not be disappointed with any aspect of the football club.

I would take very serious, rumour has it SM full of regular senior players as little sniff of finals.
I think there maybe an upset here.

Hey waz, ah, I guess with so many senior injuries - we have been concentrating more on getting a complete side together for the seconds. We have a first gamer in and have still picked the best 22 in the seniors - so no drastic action regarding finals yet.
We have a pretty solid two's core - so I'm hoping the boys will get over the line. Perhaps the next two weeks will see us getting the side together in the two's that will resemble the finals team. There are 4 or 5 players in the ones this week that have qualified for two's finals(me included) - but we haven't at any stage tried to qualify an extras going in to the finals.
We would hope to win our last 3 games (Sth Morn, Eley Park, Bulleen) but will desperately be trying to win in both grades (as they are all winnable) so the teams won't change much I wouldn't fancy.
Cheers
Long winded response I know - yes I think we're a lock for the finals - but we should be trying for the double chance if possible.

Seems strange that south have been playing good senior players in the two's. Eg. the captain who's the best onballer.
When we struggled for numbers last year - we found the logical way was to have guys that are 'off the bench' players double up - not the players that are most important in the senior game. But whatever cooks your biscuit I guess. Will be interesting to see how it works out tomorrow.
Noticed at selction last night a certain Nth Brunny stalwart has been dropped down to the early game for the first time in a long, long while...could it be a changing of the guard!!!!!
**Hope you get 40 touches Ange, give it to em old fella**

Seniors could finish with 3 on the trot as well? That would be a handy kick start to the next pre-season.

Ange in the magoo's? bout time i say, hes gotta be 100 years old
I think thats the most important thing Waz.
Finishing off well puts you into the off season with some good feeling and spirit - and may sway players to staying on if they're in two minds - or even encourage some new guys to show up.
Its been another tough year for us. We can't keep anyone over 6 foot on the track - and with plenty of changes every week and blokes playing in bigger positions than ideally suited - its tough to get consistent - and and to get some wins!
Of course its nice to play finals in the reserves and have some success there, but the aim is to be improving in the seniors and have the success from the top flowing down.

I'll pass that on mate - I think he's a very fit 37 years young - and still has plenty to offer.
