Beware of the wounded Turtle;)
Cmon CH get those boys firing!
In regards to the coaching comments, I dont know the Bulleen coaches at all or what sort of a job they did, but I would always think that a coaches postion would be looked at if both sides finished bottom, I guess it would also be looked at what sort of new players they could bring to the club?
Look at Richmond, I know the boys down there have been building the club for years, but a new coach and a few new quality players and you would not ever guess they were the same team, great people off field have obviously helped massively as well.

Thanks Nellup, I never found out what you meant about the boxed ears & kick in the arse for openning your mouth the other week was all about though??
Ozza, I like your thinking mate. Are you interested in assistant role next season;):D
Falcon, won't need to do much to fire the boys up this week but the rocket is ready & waiting....
Sixty5 - I reckon you're wrong mate. And I'll stick to the Cobra's.
Hi's
Playing more 17 - 22 year olds than have ever been at the Cobra's before.
2 new coaches who learnt a great deal as the year went along.
A great win against South Mornington when they were still up & running.
A courageous win in the final round against North Brunswick.
Courageous wins over Richmond Centrals in both grades.
Around 25 new players to the club this year.
8 committee members from this year committed to going on next year.
A new major sponsor to the club with the potential to have a lasting relationship.
Maintaining financial stability in a tough year on field.Lows
Some games where the teamstruggled to compete.
?????The Cobras didn't have a year where they ever got themselves 'up' & were able to challenge the better teams in the competition (no disprespect to the teams we beat). However, we have been down before & are in a better position to fight back next year than we were in 2002, which was the last year we were struggling.
With the right committment from people, we can recruit & play finals next year. The gap between teams is not that great.
Go Cobras!!:thumbsu:
yes ok...
I noticed on the VAFA website that Bulleen have advertised for a new coach/s -seniors and reserves. Current coaches not keen for next year? or just seeing whats out there???
Does every club review there coaching stocks every year regardless??
Fishing Ozza, just fishing...
65 where are the photos from the last few rounds??? Stop slacking off!
You just wanna see yourself on the web, big boy... ay ay ay...
I will have them over to Bonse asap, computer issues.
Is that OK???

Selwood Rising Star!!!
Good conversation starter this one.
Any suggestions for D4 Rising Star?
Kemp from Sth Morn is a great player only 18 i think.
I reckon Kemp may be a little older than 18 - judging by him being the captain and his performance in the skolling comp at Allard park.
Surprised Nathan Jones wasn't talked about more in the AFL rising star - was very often the best player in a terrible side, Selwood did it a little easier running with an awesome midfield in a team that hasn't lost since he's been in there.

Going for young legs on sat, eh coach.Ah yes, I remember when :(
Sad to announce to the forum that "jp the chinaman" crossed over to the dark side and umpired the Japan Samurai game with me at BHN last night,lots of spectators,"the crowd are having a go at me" he said,welcome to the club son!! still he went really well and said "he liked umpiring",think he should go back on his medication now:p
If you have some time to kill a combined BHN side are taking on the Samurai,tomorrow night,Thursday at 6:30- at elgar park,Spy has details,If you want to see some verrrrrry quick players,and I don't mean BHN come on down,probably be able to have quiet one,not VAFA rules,and of course you can always entertain yourselves by having an end of season crack at me!!

The less said about your legs the better Nelly.
Mostly the BHN veterans (over35s) playing tomorrow night. A few senior and reserve players sprinkled through. A whisper the best boundary umpire in the comp may play as well. Depends how her shins pull up.
Bar open from six. Full canteen running.
The passion these young Japanese play with has to be seen to be believed.
All welcome.:thumbsu:
I was surprised how hard they went when I played a game in the JAFL. Some of those Japanese guys couldn't get enough of the bumps and tackles and they all went flat out from go to woe.
Its about the only league in the world where I hold down 'key position' too!!

Gday Lads,
Time for some tips this weeks prelims both 1's & 2's
Seniors - Should be a bloddy ripper in my view..Saint's will be chock full after smashing Mt Lilydale, & should be relatively fresh considering the final margin. The turtles ran into a red hot students side last week and would be seething.
All this makes for a good game...I'm taking Eltham by 22 pts and to get another crack at Uni
Ressies - Always beware of a side coming from 4th in the finals. Have seen many a side do it before and looking at the last 6 weeks through results Uni has knocked off both Nth Bruns & Eltham by considerable margins.
Saw prob a half of last weeks 2's 2nd semi and Nth Bruns looked to struggle with a few too many bigger bodies and paid for it in the heat.
I'm taking Uni by 29 pts where the word 'run' is the key will get them over the line as has every winner so far in the finals games both 1's & 2's.
Would be a great atmosphere on gf day if both turtles & students played off in both grades & a decent crowd too which would be great for D4
Any other or different thoughts?

Eley Park and BHN to merge, but the Dragons to split off and form their own senior club.
Yeah looks good. Sharks short on numbers and the combine would solve that. Sharks off field set up a big plus for Box Hill. Win win win.
What about Dragons?

Sharks have always appeared to be well run off field and the things they have had to deal with re grounds and social rooms in recent times are testiment to there work ethic.
What specifically is it you credit the off field that sets them as a cut above?
I ask out of genuine interest. moulding players together is never that hard in a combine. The administrations on the other hand can be prickly for good and poor reasons.
BH have developed their club, not just their teams, in the last six years. They were close, very close, to extinction when they entered the VAFA in 2002. They have run at a huge profit this year and look set to finally wipe out the long standing debt. They've worked to develop the 'Dragons' (the mostly asian Clubies team) and have a unique standing second to none in International Football.
For a merger to work well there needs to be a very good understanding of each clubs goals.
I would suggest, with both clubs going forward, why would we want to lose another club to local footy?

If I could be so bold to suggest that "missdatarget" is a St Marys c*cksmoker who hasn't thought the process through. Very politically correct response though Spy. I wish I could play mirrors as well as you.
But I could be wrong.
But I'm mostly right. :D
If I was "missdatarget", I'd be more concerned about private emails that I have received from St Marys players that are disgruntled with the club.
Look for some fallout when Eltham win on the weekend.....

From down Elsternwick way there is plenty of discussion of two possible mergers involving D4 clubs and Two clubs from ClubXVIII as well as a couple of suburban clubs wanting to join. They wont give up any specifics though. There is some suggestion also that a higher grade club (c/d) may be jumping ship ; can anyone add anything to these rumours. The BHN and Eley Park one would make sense. St Francis Xavier is obviously one of the clubbies sides. Down my end of town(Sth) there is some suggestion of Parkdale merging yet again. Moorabin Kangaroos and Ashwood have also been thrown around VAFA circles, however not neccessarily involved with Parkdale

Wallow in the depths of mediocrity forever more. Your posts on here suggest you and your club would not be worthy nor wanted by the strong qualities of the Sharks.
Go Sainters. They son't need to push sh** on this forum to succeed, as this weekend will prove.
Gotta love the forum but just in case anyone at all places any faith in rumours of a Sharks merger, don't.
We'll enter 2008 well stronger off-field than we have been in my six years at EPFC. Our administration have performed superbly over the past three years to place us in such a strong position given the volatility of resources available to us.
It'll be great to concentrate on football at a true home ground...
Watch out for the SHARKERS in '08!
...and Go Eltham '07!
Up until that last comment from Blog i was going to say best of luck to EP next year. But I may just reserve that until a later date now

Just ask any D4 club if Eltham play as a team?Obviously you have not seen what the rest of us have,especially me out in the middle and neutral, you my unobservant,and ill informed person are the joke,any one who has seen them play ,and their coach, could not help but see the respect and trust they have in each other,if their coach is a joke,then I'll be the comedian anytime and there would be many D4 coaches who would love to be as funny:p

End of day its a forum people can say what they think.
We dont have to take notice and just let it go.
Im being very dimplomatic about it all, like everyone i have my opinion but no need to vent in a way.
As for tommorow's game and tips.
Starting with the 2s.
Uni High are a very good 2's side, the one thing that may also help is the 1s having a week off hence the borderline guys who are qualified getting a run this week as well.
Uni High overall too strong and will win by 44pts.
1's:
What a game it will be, pity i'll prob be watching the Hawks.
Eltham have been exceptional all year, St Marys started the same but dropped off towards end of year however have they peaked at right time??
I believe this game will be won in the midfield.
Papaluca/Armstrong vs Chapman/Powell?? Very good watching.
Stoppages could be the key.
This game will be won with 13 -15 goals. Forward lines for respective sides make good viewing. Eltham have CH, his brother, Turner and Mclaren and the saints have Dwyer, Tadgell.
In a wrap up im going for the Saints by 9pts.
This will be an awesome match to watch.
Good luck to everyone on weekend.
Someone tape it for me please:thumbsu:

Agree on both D4 games.
Port to beat WC - say 15 points. (Only thing keeping WC in it is their A graders. Port too even.)
Adelaide over Hawthorn by 21 points. (Adelaide to just shut them down.)
Swans by 40 points over Collingwood. (Late goals to blow out the margin.)
Kangas by 9 points over Cats. (Kangas fan - no more detail required!)

Being a bunch of good blokes is just as important as being successful in D4 (remember it is D4 we are talking). Eltham and Uni High manage to do both pretty well so why do St Mary's struggle so much in this regard?

You're such a poon guru.
As for the AFL this weekend.
WCE to win by less than a goal - I think you'll find they are even enough across the ground as well as Port - with Big cox and Cousins providing the big game credentials.
Adelaide will smash the Hawks - experience and toughness versus flashy, young wannabees. Ricciuto, Goodwin, Edwards, McLeod...these guys win finals - lets not forget these guys were the best team in it last year for the majority.
Collingwood have the wood over Sydney in a big way. Hoping Sydney will break this. Nick davis and Adam Goodes to star, Swans to sneak in by a few points.
Cats vs Kangas....am going to this match and have a conundrum - The missus is a cat supprorter, and one of my best mates plays for the Kangas....no idea who I'd prefer to win really.
Cats will though - 8 goals plus.

It seems the turtles dominated the game, leading by 7 goals heading into the last quarter. St Mary's, bad luck, see you at KB next year... Eltham, I have a feeling only one team will be promoted this year, so you'd better reverse your form against UHS and win it all to be playing in D3 next year.

Eltham were too strong. Well deserved win. Bigwaz, what you said about one team for promotion was doing the circuit at Vermont yesterday. A league official was in talks with our head honchos. If this is to be true there must be more then 1 or 2 new clubs to join the VAFA. Is St Francis among these and any rumours of others?

Last week's VAFA editorial said "Congratulations also to UHS-VU who have quickly re-grouped after being relegated last year. They, along with Eltham OC and St Mary’s, have been the stand outs in D4 for most of the year and deservedly return to D3". So unless something's going on that the VAFA doesn't know about, I'd see it as unlikely for anything to change (given that UHS could still end up in 2nd spot and it would seem odd to promote the 2nd team ahead the 1st). Or is it being suggested that things may have changed in the couple of days since this was printed?

I'm suggesting that the VAFA may not yet know how many teams will be in the VAFA next season, so they would be promoting the status quo until such time that any new teams are accepted.
One thing is for sure, they can't have 13 or 14 sides in d4 and 10 in d3...can they?

In regards to the promotion talk, If it came down to how to manage the grades then they'll stop relegation before changing promotion Bigwaz so Kew & West Brunny will stay up and make D3 a 12 team comp also!
Also anyone heading to the Siebel tonight? Looking forward to hopefully catching up with a few of you for a beer?

I know... but if we get one new club next year, they might only promote one d4 club to make it 11 in d3 and 12 in d4.

I would think more likley to have a bye in the lowest grade if that was the case. d3 12 and d4 11. :confused:

If they get 1 new team, they'll have to bide their time in club 18's first or bring a clubbie up with them as they did this season? Surely?
Who got invited from Richmond Bigwaz? So far i know Papa, Armstrong, Powell & Irvine have from other clubs? Papa must be favourite though?
IFF, we just had alot to prove on Saturday mate!

I will be there masquerading as Irvine in the unlikely event that he wins the award!

Roo Liddle was invited from the Centrals. Strange that he finished 5th or so in our B&F voting.... he's a show pony for sure, taking hangers and throwing no-look handballs :)

Haha Nuske is a freak, played on him a couple of times and he can be quiet then do something ridiculous, like kick one from the boundary from 50.
No doubt, Bakes and Cowboy will poll pretty well from our club!

Could have been both as Papaluca & Armstrong both got invited from St Mary's? Unless they tied for most votes?

Only the top votegetter from each club gets invited so if Papa and Armstrong are both going they have the same votes. That would suggest they won't win? Hard to see 2 guys from the same team polling the most votes but not impossible I suppose.

is it the same with you and Powell?

Well they did it. And how!
Rumors continue to fly about the make-up of D3 and D4 next year.
Told to me under the strictest of confidence of course... and 10 beers in... Is there something called drinker/co-drinker confidentiality? :)
Rumors were also flying about the red boots worn by the D4 co-B&F... something about how it reminded people of the robotic shoes lisa simpson gets to improve her dancing :)

Heard a few rumors about the make-up of the d4 team of the year as well. Some surpirse ommisions, and the coaching selection is a ripper!

Classic quote after Papa got caught late in first quarter on Saturday and pinged for holding the ball:
"Time to click your heels Papa and head back to Kansas.":p

Thought you would like that one. Close call between 2 new coaches, but the right guy got the nod (or so I heard):cool:
ignore this if it does not apply to you.
Promise to mention it only once.
One of the young players at BH at started work for a major bank.
His job is to hook people up to their EFTPOS machines.
This bank has under cut the opposittion massively to get bussiness.
If your club or business could benifit, no it does not mean you have to have your account/s with this bank, please Private Mess. me. I will set you up with the lad. He's a good kid and I would like to see him get on.
As a reward, if anyone from the forum signs up with him I will out Spy 1 on the forum!
Thanks guys.

There are some i's to be dotted & some t's to be crossed, but it's almost a done deal. Salesian have no ground & it is a merger that suits both clubs. As long as neither club digs their hells in over small stuff, the merger will happen. There may be a Syndal Club 18's side as well....

Good to see each team represented Bigwaz. How about you post the team though? I don't think i'll incriminate any Eley Park folk in response to that previous question though;)

Given that it will be in the record this Saurday, it would be best to leave posting the team till after the game I suggest.
Several players like to go to the game and see if they or there mates got a gig. Helps add one or two to the gate even.
Waz, you are fast becoming the 'Deep Throat" of the VAFA.

I agree, hush hush...
But it must be said that Danny Hickey is a superb choice for coach of the year!
