It is probably too early to ask about any new recruits to teams but has there been any standout retirements that are worth mentioning?
Also does anyone know whether we are going to be as resricted as last year with our pre season activities due to drought. Once again very early to ask this question.
P.S. Great news about Albert Park getting a new coach. Not sure how you Falcons felt but he was definitely starting to give you guys a bad name.
In short yes, it will depend obviously on your grounds location/ownership if its a city council ground more than likely you will have little if any access to it, i know that monash city council and boorondara have already cracked down with a threat of hefty fines for anyone caught training on their grounds, as has melbourne parks (eg. Jells Park) if your ground is privately owned (eg School grounds etc) then it's up to the owners but for council grounds i dont think there is a snowballs chance in hell we'll be going anywhere a football ground until at least march..... and thats if were lucky.
for a few of the boys pre season has already started have we even had the agm?
and I am one of those boys, melbdocker...

West Brunswick may be the talk of the town but there's no posters on here I recognise as representing WB. Last year at this stage there was talk that we'd do well in D3 and look at the results of that. We're confident of re-building. We'll be recruiting and looking to hit the season running and all the other cliches but no one's counting their chickens just yet. It should be a challenge. I've personally not played against any of the teams in D4 so like the guy from StFX I'm looking forward to the unknown.

Welcome Rooster,I'm the resident Maggot here,you may have me in the centre next season so be nice:D;Congrats on making the move to D4 you will find despite the, back biting,insults and personal attacks on performances that D4 are a great bunch of blokes[excuse me while I get a glass of water,I'm nearly gagging].
Notice you won 10 out of 15 in clubbies,yes I looked you up,Moggots do that sort of thing:cool:,going by that you should worry many sides in D4,especially as you stated it was your debut year.
You say you are looking forward to another year of the "complete unknown'"that means you will fit right in here.
The others will no doubt welcome you,gird your loynes for Spy,Waz and 65,they are harmless really,look forward to having you and yours abuse the bejeezus out of me next season:p

Well my preseason started tonight, mum across the road comes flying over all hysterical, her 3 year old daughters gone missing. Turned the house over, get the neighbours looking and doorknocking, cops on the way, whole nine yards. I got to sprint down to the local park to check out the playground and back again. We found her ten minutes later, she'd somehow climbed the back fence and was wandering around the neighbours - right on a main road.
Sheesh, its only five weeks since my last game and its amazing how quickly the condition goes!

In terms of fitness for the individual to the team it dosen't make a huge difference over three months so having said that if you can convince guys in your side to do 20 minutes of moderate excercise (eg Jog) twice-three times a week during off season, starting pre-season at the very start of January wont hurt you.
Today's joke of the day:
This blonde was walking down a road carrying a bag, when a guy came along.
The guy asks, ''What are you carrying?''
''Melons,'' the blonde replies.
''Cool," the guy says. "If I can guess how many there are, can I have one of them?''
The blonde giggles and says, ''If you can guess how many there are, you can have BOTH of them.''
Thank you.

The xmas period is crap due to all the work functions and drinking etc.
The new year resolution seems to get everyone motivated for pre-season training.

how about having a really shite season, winning one game, losing the rest by an average 10 goals+. That to me is enough motivation...

Without wanting to assume BHN would be invited, were Richmond to offer a Punt Rd match up again this year, I would think that game was a promoters dream on it's own.
Better to promote the Punt Rd game as it's own entity.
Then play a rivalry round against someone else.
Thereby automatically having 2 big games to promote before the season starts.

West Brunswick VS Kew - The battle of the old D3 crew.
St Francis Xavier VS South Mornington - They are both from Whoop WHoop and both are newish still.
North Brunswick VS Bulleen - Been around a while, close to each other and similar positions last year.
Syndal Tally Ho VS Eley Park - Both local again and similar positions on the ladder last year.

Eley Park v Box Hill North is a natural matchup for Rivalry round - the rivalry goes back a bir further than their time in the VAFA and the game of the year might just have been the 1-point thriller between these two sides last year.
I think both clubs would consider the other their 'traditional' rival.

To be honest i reckon they would love the fact that people are still talking about them on another forum as some big hard arses. You know the old saying "Any publicity is good publicity"
I say we let c*ck heads be c*ck heads....sorry i mean bygones be bygones and just forget about the w**kers.
We will see them again in the future and we can chat about them then.
Anyway it is the VAFA. People saying "oh i can't wait to play on that guy again". What does that actually mean?? That the fact you will play on someone like that instantly means you will beat the crap out of them.
Those guys are used to being dirty and fighting so they would probably knock you out. The less selfish thing to say is:
"Can't wait to beat that Team"
"Can't wait to get fit for next year to support my team mates"
" I am going to try my absolute guts out to help win as many games next year as possible"
Sorry to have a go boys but it is real easy to write things on a forum and then not respectfully back them up out on the field. Let's stop inflating these ********s ego's by talking about them. That goes for nobs like St Mary's as well.

Chewy;You have hit the nail on the head mate,and from my very tunnel visioned point of view,the people making their ,not so veiled ,desires public are the very people that would be jumping on me to control what they are saying they would like to do.
I know I am getting heavy here,but,ammo footy is about having a kick with your mates,not ending up in emergency because of some idiot.
Beatings on the score board hurt far more than anything else,and would anyone like to dispute with me how often it is the one that retaliates that gets pinged.
All joking aside,there are some really smart footy people on here, as evidence I put forward the gains by several clubs this year that will be evident next season,build your clubs and work on your own games and leave this crap alone,I've got far better things to do with my Tuesday nights.
Hmmm. Yeah. Footy is violent and exciting enough without having a fight on your hands.

I agree with all your points. I would just like to say in my defence that I actually said I would like to play them again and when someone called RM a psycho I just pointed out the number of games that a number of players have missed through suspension. I love the spirit of the amateurs and whichever club Chewbacca is from is lucky to have him. I think your comments were right on the money. So someone give us something new to talk about.

It's quite obvious that Ruck Machine doesn't have the balls to confront these people face to face or he has tried to and has been beaten hands down.
Concentrate on talking footy and leave the threats for when you see these people in person and have a go at them then.
Don't lower yourself to levels you are not accustom to. Play the game. You are there for your team-mates, for your club, not for your own benefit. If you want to beat people up take up boxing or go to Noble Park, tis your choice. There should no room for violence on the footy field.

Here,here 65.
Although long retired, I remember myself as a true ball player.
The umpires and I always got on really well.
So much so that they often invited me to meet up with them on a Tuesday night after the game.:p

Something new eh Tricky,well lets talk about about Umps,and I am being serious for once.
Recruiting of new umps has to be a priority and all clubs can help,all clubs must have some players that are retiring or who are struggling with injuries that may keep them from playing,I know it's not popular but these players make excellent umpires,we have had ,and still do have ex players umpiring at very high levels in the alphabet range,they bring a wealth of experience and knowledge with them and many say it keeps them in the game.
Think about it that's all I ask,and ,there is the financial incentive to think about,clubs that recruit an umpire get fee discounts for doing so!!!

Something new eh Tricky,well lets talk about about Umps,and I am being serious for once.
Recruiting of new umps has to be a priority and all clubs can help,all clubs must have some players that are retiring or who are struggling with injuries that may keep them from playing,I know it's not popular but these players make excellent umpires,we have had ,and still do have ex players umpiring at very high levels in the alphabet range,they bring a wealth of experience and knowledge with them and many say it keeps them in the game.
Think about it that's all I ask,and ,there is the financial incentive to think about,clubs that recruit an umpire get fee discounts for doing so!!!
I'm retired this year and one of our reserves umpires has given it away. So what do I need to do to get accreditiation? (Just in case I cant find a replacement mind you!)

It's quite obvious that Ruck Machine doesn't have the balls to confront these people face to face or he has tried to and has been beaten hands down.
Concentrate on talking footy and leave the threats for when you see these people in person and have a go at them then.
I would gladly confront all of them face to face.

Waz,you need to contact Goodman and arrange to attend one of the reserve grade umpire courses run by VAFA,pre season,and get in early is my tip,this gets you accredited,if you pass,that was nasty,I'm sure you will pass with flying colours:p even if they are Yellow and Black.

Well MD,I won't sit on the fence,in my opinion there should be a system put in place for Clashes between ump shirts and club jumpers,eg Cobras,we no longer have numbers on our backs so it should not be too hard,T shirts a simple and cheap solution.Yes the game you refer to was Cobras V Eltham 2's second half,but the players are the ones whose opinion should be taken into account, not mine,they are the one's who are looking for a team mate when under pressure.

I resemble that remark.
And the Japanese lad was an absolute accident. If I still had the option of moving sideways I would have.
The one on the video was an ex-pat aussie, who was sniping our small blokes behind the play. But that was a mistake as well. He got up.
Let me say this. I played in a different era.
I can honestly say I never started anything.
And I would have loved to have played in this era.
The hardness is still there, but it is nearly always in a fair manner in ammos. The speed, skill and vision of today's suburban and country footballers is far ahead of what we used to do. And long may it continue to be such a exciting style of play to view.

Amen to that spy,the ammos may not be perfect but we do try,and most involved are reasonable people,from what I hear from fellow maggots in other places our comp.is pretty good.
I too played in that era you speak of and seeing as we are fessing up,I too enjoyed the umps company on the odd Tuesday night,not too proud of some of them,that's why I am so down on the crap stuff now.

fai enough was merely observation of watching the game didnt think that he was that high in his impact but everyone do view things differntly like i said nothing against eltham and their players just how i saw it.

Not saying that they are wanted by all at our club. i for one could live without them, & i'm sure KC would be reluctant to have them after what happened to him. but we got a few last year & a brother (GUN) of one of them will be comming down with a few mates. not sure if we are going down the right track with Hawthorn players comming across. Time will tell.

Our club has always had & will always have an open door policy. Let bygones be bygones & manage our clubs affairs internally, with very few exceptions.
Apart from the individual involved in the incident (KC got eye-gouged) I believe that KC would be fine with any of the Hawthorn boys. KC plays it hard & fair(ish!!!!) & is old school in that what goes on the field stays on the field, except in the very worst of incidents, of which eye-gouging is one.
KC - correct me if I'm wrong....

They may have some good blokes but the lead the ammos for **** wits. We played against them this year and they are a terrible club.
Sounds like big things are happening down at BC... good to hear. Don't improve too much though!

Im not one to hold a grudge, to me a grudge is just a place to park your car. In all seriousness you dont have to like everyone that you play with and im sure everyone here does or has played with people they dont like but personal feeling/ opions about people shouldn't get in they way of whats best for the club, whether that be on the field, like not giving off a hand ball to the person in the best position, or off the field by not selecting someone, everyone should be treated on merit. In the end its whats best for the club that counts.

Why don't you just F off to the D3 forum....... Oh no, that's right, you had to merge with a D2 club to get out of D4.
F off. We don't want you around here.
Bulleen is the same as most clubs, there's a few of 'them', but the numbers not disproportionate like St Mary's. Although, to be fair tothe players, it seems as though the general consensus is that the players are OK on the field, it's their supporters who are the tossbags.
Where do you fit Guru?

Well said KC, glad to see you didnt pull the old we are all mates crap. We both know what i was saying in the post. IFF can play the open door, everyones welcome & i no he means it. but Hawthorn blokes will not be the answer for us. dont we already have enough Hawthorn tools around.if we are going down this track maybe the players should have a say. Hey KC i no we play with blokes that we wouldnt call mates, but this would be a big ask.

HTT,
I understand where you are coming from, but it's the job of the committee of the club to ensure that the players understand what is acceptable behaviour on & of the field when representing the footy club.
If anyone gets out of line then there are a range of options open to discipline players.
We shouldn't look at this year as too much of an example. It's pretty hard to discipline blokes when there are only 15-16 players in the magoos. When numbers are better, which it's looking they will be this year, the committee is able to work much closer with the coaches to ensure that discipline is maintained.
Give the committee & coaches a chance before you start making statements on BF. Or even better still, if you've got any issues, take them up with the coaches or committee off-line.
Cheers
