View Full Version : D4 Section Ammos pt 1 (2005-2007)
I'll add my congratulations to Holly on bringing up the 3 figures.
Like making a ton in cricket, the grade is irrelevant. If you were not batting well you would have missed a straight one and been bowled. I'm sure Holly can testify that there are some handy key defenders in D4.
There's the lead in for Machine to ask you who you thought were your toughest opponents.
The other thing here is, as a leader it would definitely not be in your mind to be selfish. I know from watching you play you are all about your team. So your ton is more than deserved and earned on merit.
So with one game to go we see the scenario the VAFA hoped would not happen when they cut our 12 team comp to a final four. The only reason this was done was to keep the A and B grade grand finals segregated and not tainted by us common D4 guys hogging the limelight in the last weekend of VAFA activity. It appears likely that BH and Mt L will finish equal on wins and separated by %.
Rather than rant about the unfairness of this situation, most honest BH people would say fair enough.
No excuses here, but were BH to make it they would be limping in to teams much better prepared than themselves. Their injury toll in recent weeks has been one to rival poor old Albert Park. They gave it a red hot crack but the effort has seen many of their quality players playing at well below 100% fitness. Realistically they would be no more than cannon fodder against a Eltham or a UH.
Yes, I know finals are a funny ball game, and maybe a few of their guns might take this week off and make incredible recoveries, but it is too much to expect the Sharks to upset the Dales up there or for BH to beat Syndal by 200 odd points. The competition has shown these sort of blow outs are extremely rare now. And I know BH realise they have a job just getting a victory this Saturday, let alone considering huge margins.
BH have some quality players and good depth, they will look to recruit better in the summer and come back stronger next year I have no doubt.
Mt Lilydale have a fighting quality that may see them at least put in a mighty effort. They lack for tall quality and some midfield polish, but with Carolan returning last week and what appears to be a full list, I fancy they could progress past week 1 of the finals.
St Marys, although back on the winning list in recent times, have cracks appearing. Though their game plan is disciplined it is also predictable. They don't seem to have a plan 'B'. A heavy reliance on a quality midfield and limited goal kickers should see them strangled out in week one or two.
Eltham, like their coach, are the 'Hollywood' of the comp. They have an array of stars on every line and play an extremely watchable game of football. Given good weather and the ability to stay calm when pressured physically they should take the flag out. I would be amazed to see a repeat of last year's folding in the finals. So a D3 passport is assured. Like Hawthorn, I think they will acquit themselves well in the next level and be gone from D4 for some good amount of time.
The last time Uni were in D4 they played a flashy, confidence style of footy. Their coaching staff have created a very even team that has a massive work rate. They grind opposition teams into submission, rather than blowing them away. This brand of football should be too much for the 3rd and 4th placed finalists, should they meet Uni.
So I feel confident we will have a Eltham v Uni GF. A tough close fought contest with the team that can perform under pressure will win out. Just fancy Eltham have too many class acts, and enough of them will rise and shine to over run Uni late on.
To those not competing in the finals this year. Get down to the games and experience the atmosphere. It could be you and your mates on the stage next year. Why not run a funniest banner comp for our regulars on this board? We can set up a pole the week after the GF and take nominations on banners as they appear. Suggest you be clever not straight out nasty though. No matter how much some from a nameless club have disrespected their opponents this year.
Mad Monday approaches for most, although it is probably more like no undies Sundies to our Ammo players. Enjoy and be safe.
Wow, fair thesis Spy - I liked it.
I find it hard to separate Eltham and UHS for the flag also.
UHS remind me so much of Powerhouse last year in the way they went about it - and whilst Eltham will perform better in D3 if they get there - I just reckon UHS will take some beating on GF day as they seem to 'know how to win'.
Would be very interested to watch and genuinely do not have a preference to either side. Perhaps whoever's supporters put me off the least I'll barrack for on GF day!
As far as BHN I guess they'll just look back on the two Mt.Lilydale games as the difference as to what seperated the two sides. I'm sure you'll be well in contention next year. However, if anyone over 6"2 at BHN wants to come down to North Brunswick - we can accomodate you no worries.

Thats a hard question Spy but I will try to list them in order of who I think the toughest forward to play on is.
I Have played 5 Games at FB and 5 in the Ruck Since Round 7. I have had 2 goals kicked by my direct opponent in that time (1 vs RC, 1 vs Bulleen (both Lucky)).
In my first 6 games I had 20 Goals Kicked against me (2 D. Viola (EP), 3 (Mt L), 10 Jeremy Dwyer (SM), 5 Hollywood (EC))
I was injured when playing on Dwyer and Hollywood, so its difficult to say but here I go.
1. J. Garrard (EC)
2. J. Dwyer (SM)
3. T. Whiting (RC)
4. D. Viola (EP)
5. Thorpe (UHS)(Forgotten Fwd at UHS but was tougher than Kirk or Whyte)
Bad luck. Pray for pouring rain and hope the sharks are better swimmers.

Well Done Hollywood! 16 is that the most you've kicked in a Senior Game?
Yes 16 is my biggest bag RM & it's my first time to make a hundred, which is lucky because I was never going to make one in the summer ;).
D Penny (C)
C Riscalla (VC)
A Steele (VC)
S Irvine (VC)
R Ball (VC)
M Penny (VC) and likely culprit. Has more nicknames than handballs.:p
Still haven't figured this one out Spy?? It's not Penny or Steele! RM can help you out if required??
just wondering are the wheels going to fall off the turtles for the 3rd yr in a row around finals time....they have a big point 2 prove
Just wondering how it could be 3 years in a row when the Turtles won the Reserves flag in 05 & the seniors didn't make finals????
Anyone else got any updates on their D4 team of the year, since a few weeks back? I'll update a new one later in the week if i get time? Interested to see some others though??
So has anyone heard anymore about the possibility of a D5? I've heard of at least one new side that has been promised a spot next year... so unless someone drops down to clubbies they may make us a 13 team comp... or they could promote 4 sides to make 10 in D3 and 11 or 12 in D4 (probably more likely)... So, the way I figure it, Mt Lilydale may only have to beat Eley park to be promoted.
Hey...something interesting is gonna happen anyway !

Guys, isn't there a clubbies team from Beaconsfield wanting to come into D4?
If we do have 2 to come in my guess would be
* 2 up from D4 + 2 new teams = 12 team comp
* 2 up from D3 + 0 down + 2 down from D2 = status quo, 12 team comp
both D3 and D4 play final 5 system
I think my maths are correct

Doubt South Yarra would be allowed to go to the ammo's next season. They have only got back into the SFL this year and they would also have to give a seasons notice like noble park and balwyn did. There was a little bit of noise on the SFL board about this move but it was created by a player who was suspended for 6 weeks for abusive language to an umpire. The bloke doesn't realise that he would get more in the vafa.

south yarra have no interest in moving to the ammos we are happy playing in the sfl(except for one player!!).we have been pretty competetive this year without winning a heap of games.plus there are quite a few of us that won a premiership playing for powerhouse in d4 last year...
also how is ryan foo for eltham going this year i enjoyed playing against him last year?? i hope they win the flag they are overdue

There's no doubt that he has had a good season but i would have thought connie would have him covered on the half forward flank but that could be a biased and also the fact i dont have listen to Tys bang on about it for the next 6 months may also way into the debate.....LOL.

The smooth part is definitely the top. Definitely. No question. And its definitely the part you bite through first.

As a predicted expert i reckon they must be fried and the top is the smooth bit. Now to really make it good you need a good helping of tomato sauce on a fried dimmy.
But as a favourite for me - get to the Canteen at Koonung and get a roast beef roll - bit of cheese and some mustard. Can't be beaten and I may need more than one this weekend to sustain me through the off season.

Think you can probably slot yourself into Eltham's 3, Coach. You'd have to be some chance.

Maybe take out Dagge from RC and add Whiting.
Also Remove Alexandridis from EP and add Corey Cresswell.

Doubt it Ruccky.
But the influx of females in the clubrooms is worth more than umpires votes!!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D

I'll tell you after Sunday.... Dagge could win the B&F... he's been sensational on the wing for us this year. We're looking forward to a great vote count on Sunday... any one of 7 players could win it and I am told ,by the one person who knows, that its still up for grabs this weekend. look out UHS!
This question was brought up on radio on friday and has cause a stir between my friends so i thought i would put it out to the experts....
Which part of the Dim Sim is top the folded part or the smooth part?
I know this is a strange question to ask a footy forum but i iknow a quite a few of these mystary bags have been concusmed by many D4 forum regulars....Im looking at you Sixty 5, In fine Form and plugger28....LOL.
Yes KC I have taken the bait, only to insult you though...
What must go through your mind for you to worry about dim sims, ay ay ay...
Speaking of dim sims, anyone tried the South Melbourne Market dimmys? The best in Melbourne me thinks.
It doesn't matter which is top or bottom, as long as YOU enjoy them...
huru
Are UHSVU merging with NKOTB?
Richmond merging with NSYNC???
Enough about Dim Sims guys the flat part is the top no doubt!
How about we move onto discussing a comp medal winner? I doubt anyone from Eltham will win it as we have just had a consistant group of players all year.
Maybe each team could nominate who they think will be there best 3 chances and we can get a list together for Ed Sill.;)
I take it you had a bad experience with dim sims coach. How's the leg??

I have no doubt Dagge could win your B&F but as far a League B&F goes Whiting gets my vote over Dagge. He kicked a few bags and would've caught the umpires attention (as would Speakman and Nuske)
Richmond merging with NSYNC???
JT has been running water for us since round 6, so its on the cards.

For what its worth I don't think a dimmie has a 'top' as such, but instead comprises 2 ends (folded parts) and an outer surface (smooth part), in a similar fassion to a common cylinder.
I'd like to think my opinion holds some weight after setting a modest record of 30 steamed dimmies consumed in a single sitting at my club.

First off dim sims have neither a top or a bottom. When you put a dim sim down it lays with the ends at right angles to the surface it sits on. And when they go in my mouth the only thing that is first is the first dimmy I pick up, next is dimmy 2 followed by dimmy 3 and so on. Nibblers need not reply.
30 is a fair effort. What did you have for your main?
B&F. Corey Cresswell always plays well when I see him, pity that he is a serial umpire abuser. Best players don't always get the nod from the umps.
Fancy Papa will take some beating. The 2 times I saw him this year he got an incredible arm chair ride from the umpires. Always a goos indication of who they like. They are not ammuned to the hype, no matter what they say.

They were given a free kick down field after he kicked the ball, ran into one of our players and fell down.... must have gotten about 10 free kicks on the day. Very good player though.

Papa is a very good player. He does not need the prefered treatment he gets.
The laws also state the player has to actually be TOUCHED to get a free kick.:thumbsd:
When people asked me who my fav actor was I always said Matty Lloyd.
I think I will now say Papa.
The fact that every time Papa goes near the ball the St.Mary's players and supporters cream themselves will probably mean he gets noticed more as having a good day. This carry on also means he's a protected species. No doubt he's a very good finisher, with good skills though - but there's other players at St.Mary's that work harder without the recognition.

Papa will take alot of beating in the B&F, as for the umps loving him - from what i have seen he is a little bloke who goes in hard, those blokes always attract alot of free kicks.

Battered dim sims are by far the best type of dimmy. Closely followed by a bbq'd dim sim.

Those three losses were all about 10 goals each - so that also hurt the percentage for the BHN boys too. i wouldn't discount Eley Pk this week though - they were flying last week - and with Viola's, Payne and Cresswell firing they can push anyone on their day. Hope for your sakes (BHN) they do you a favour.
can't remember if I put my tips in - but they are:
Turtles, UHS, Saints, Eley pk, BHN and North Bruns now in any case. Reckon Mt.Lilydale might drop the ball so to speak in their last for the year. Plus I have ground to make up on the leaders in the tips.
Good luck to most....look forward to hanging back at Bulleen for some stubs and watching the seniors with a roast beef roll in hand. Stop it Bulleen canteen, you ol' dog!

The first half of that game was the only time for the year we had Clifton, O'connor, Santacroce, Holdstock and Lacorcia playing at the same time - we were on fire that day and you were stiff to get us at close to full strength. You were the only ones though!
