Ballarat Football League

[Ess Kay Warne]

I must agree with Noddy, and I hate Darley. I have seen them twice this year and both times the umpiring has been questionable. Against the Marsh they would have won by 120 pnts, and they would have beaten melton by far more than 4 goals, if not for umpiring.
I went to windy hill to watch what I thought would be a good game, but in general play melton were absolutely smashed. Hate to say it but the devils may be real deal.
I noticed Newman go off in the last qtr, maybe injured?? Can you confirm Nod?

I thought the umps were good on Satdy. Paying a free kick to the side thats losing at every contest keeps the game even, thats good for footy isnt it????????????????????????????????????????????????????
But we shouldnt complain, because it will only get worse.

[WA creep]

Would I be right in saying that the standard of this league has dropped dramatically this year?

It seems Darley may be the yard-stick at the early stage of the season and I believe they may have picked up 4 players at the most. They were 3rd last in 07. Trav Stephenson, Sexton, and D.Edwards in the best this week? And Minns top goal kicker.

Not wanting to single out Darley but they seem the best at the moment so they are the best example. Are there other new players that havent been publicised @ Darley or have the other teams just dropped right off. Maybe a few of the Darley posters could shed some light.
Could be a big year at the park if they bring it home

[ORACLE 69]

League has dropped in standard due to number of players leaving sunbury, ballarat, east point and even Redan although Redan has probably replaced them the best out of all the clubs. Darley's pick ups have been good though as have Lakers. Most clubs are also playing more kids.

[quote=ORACLE 69;10987615]It was a great day for Ballarat on Saturday with our 88 reunion and seeing Browny and Drew Petrie at the game spurred the boys on.

Just wondering if PEST (president Paul) or any north people would like to comment on the day as he has had to eat humble pie over his schlacking of our Pres Shane Manley. Shane along with other clubs were against north city and rightfully so as he was only sticking up for his club and league as North are not the only side to have "Pathways". Just look at the number of juniors playing at Ballarat and clubs like Sebas, Lakers and East Point. This should see them strong for years but I don't know about Redan as the ages of time have caught up with a few and they don't seem to be able to be fed like North VFL players as has been the case over the last few years.


How was the great man Percy Lange?? Knows how to enjoy himself.:thumbsu:

Sorry not sure who you mean as there were a number there and all had a great time.

Can someone please tell Darren Stanley to hang up his boots. He was a good player in his day, but all he is doing is draining Melton for money and taking a spot in which a young kid could be developing in.It was embarrasing to see a player like that doing what he was on the weekend.

[Bdiddy18]

The umps on saturday in the melton darley game were a f******* disgrace, the skinny old fellow was out there trying to make a name for himself. Mate just let the f u c k ing game play and put your whistle away.... Any one else agree?

With comments like that there wont be any umpires at all. The league currently has a massive shortage of umpires and your comments are a disgrace. If they were so disgraceful (in your opinion) get out and have a go yourself and see how you go.

There is a massive shortage of good ones, every week I see bad ones.

If they are bad, they get bagged, and then they quit. If they are good, no one notices them and no one cares about them, so they continue umpiring. Notice a pattern there.

I dont think the problem is that they are bad. If they are bad then fair enough, as long as they are equally as bad for both teams. But in the few games i've seen that hasn't been the case. There was a definite bias against 1 team. (or just a coincidence that it was against the winning team).

Sources close to the club say he is playng for zero$, and many saw a valuable onfield mentor to the already abundant number of kids. You can't play too many kids or you'll really get a hiding being too light and too inexperienced. This is a great way to honour a previous coach who still gets many effective possessions, wants to give back to the club.

Totally agree with the above comments. You cant buy experience and although past his prime will still be a very valuable contributor to the club - like robert harvey. A proven premiership player and will have his ups and downs.

Was still a lot better than at least half his team mates on the weekend.

A report in The Courier says that the Ballarat Umpires have the lowest retention rate of umpires of any league in the state. They seem to be walking out in droves.

Volunteer club umps are ok in the two's but can you imagine if it ever went that way in the Seniors? It would certainly make for some good blues (can't imagine anyone getting reported) and would likely influence the result in close games.

Take you point BDiddy, but i think what majority of clubs are asking is the pull it back a bit and stop over umpiring games, take a reality check and say to yourself "It's only country footy" I'd like to see the stats as i would say there would be an average of 5-6
50m penalty's paid this year per game. Last year would probably be 1 per game.

If it meant clubs spending extra coin to get umpires from melbourne i'm sure they would consider.

I think that if you have a look at the players darley played last year you would have found it very surprising if they didn't improve dramatically regardless of who they recruited. The thing i find surprising is how so many people only judge a sides improvement on the names they have recruited. It would be fair to say that the league standard has dropped slightly but the number of young players (17-23) is as high as ever and is only beneficial for a league that was unlucky to not win the Div 1 interleague? Are we maybe overlooking all of our local talent? or has all football in country victoria dropped off?:eek:

[herbert#5]

can any one tell me how Aaron Clark is going??? heard he is coaching a good young side..how is his form going close family mate of mine would appreciate the favour of telling me.:)

I don't think Darley's list was that impresssive which was reflected in where they finished up. Take Newman, cheevers etc out and they would not be performing that well. It is always good to get a recruit as they can lessen the burden on the younger players as it takes time for them to develop and may push them from key position to a flank etc.

Some leagues have definitely dropped off as the TAC cup takes good kids, the VFL impacts on sides as they fill their playing stocks and experienced players are being offered too much money to play in lesser leagues. The 24-28 age bracket does not have a large pool of players.

Seems to speak OK but the good young team will test his patience. Needs some good assistants off the field as it is always hard for a playing coach.

thanks there mate, how has his performance himself been going was a gun in the vfl when i watched him???

That close that you can't ring him and ask him yourself. Don't you trust him, is he a big liar?

[ORACLE 69]

Which clubs in the BFL would have had the most players play VFL/AFL football? Of recent times Ballarat has had Drew Petrie and the Brown twins while names like Lockett, Frawley, Heath Scotland all spring to mind. Can someone from each club compile a list, will be interesting to see?

If you took Newman, Cheevers out of darleys side they might not be 5 and 0 but they still would be going alright. You have to remember a lot of young kids got a full season under there belts last year plus what i hear is theres still a few to come into that side

Not just a two man show at Darley Oracle. plenty of guys stepping up to the plate and those two are fulfilling the roles that coach learmonth felt needed to be addressed.

You would be amazed at the number of young darley players have almost played 50 games of senior footy. This was started by Matt power and last year the young fellas had even more responsibility under coach learmonth due to the clean out. Players like king, edwards, herring, gundry, smithwick, robbins, young, freestone, minns, whitney, sexton etc. All under 23, played plenty of senior footy and now have older players in miller, guerra, deckert, digger edwards & cape fulfilling their main roles and cheevers, newman & tuddy edwards adding the class. Only 3 recruits in the club the rest locals which has also boosted morale team spirit around teh club.

The league also has plenty of quality talent. Watched interleague training last week when it was at Darley and they will have the best squad for years. Maybe no ex AFL players but they are a keen bunch playing with a bit of pride for the league.

Oracle - your a negative tool.

On a completely different note, are we forgetting that Miller is the same age as the three other highlighted names. with plenty of years to come is it possible he could become one of the biggest names in BFL history? big call i know but he definately does things that are amazing to watch. Some feedback on some recently retired/ still active players that had such an impact on the game at the same age? especially considering he spent 2 years out of his Darley senior career, one at the Jet's and one at Coburg.

Sorry boys, not negative just a realist. Ballarat went through the same process and are just starting to reap the rewards. Have lost some gun players in Harris Finny etc which would have benefited us this year.

The club has also produced many fine players who have gone to play at higher levels. These include Collingwood Brownlow Medallist Marcus Whelan, Wayne Closter a 200 game player with Geelong, and more recently Heath Scotland drafted to Collingwood in 1999 who is now playing fine football with Carlton.

After looking on club web sites their must be more players who have played VFL or AFL, if you know then please submit as i agree that it would be interesting to see who from each club has played at the highest level.

You can add Shane Snibson (Carlton) & Paul McMahon (Nth Melbourne)...

The only bit of roughing up tuddy got was from some fat pig eating a four & twenty behind the goals at the toolern vale end. he said three words in the wram up and thats it.

Chieftont here trendsetters- HOLD ON TO YOUR SEATS, the great man is back and straight on the attack. After receiving my 5 day vacation from the always sensational moderator here at big footy i was found to have imported a somewhat disastrous virus on my pc. Now its not the type of virus that Matty Sutton had in the first round of the season (also known as the darley flu) but it annoyed me all the same. Well what can the great man say other than its great to back and its great to be supporting a team that is 5 and 0 while all you other turkeys on the other side of the bridge are pennyless, ugly and in desperate need of a girlfriend that isn't related. What a big fortnight it has been in football- Darley won again, Hutchy wore 38 inch waisted shorts for the first time for the year (down from a 40- (gee those bickies help Hutch) and poor old Shane Fisher is back in the doldrems after hurting his 83 at Maryborough (wonder what jail tatt he will get to represent this latest failure as a coach?)

Rest easy my friends for the Chief is back, back with the crack, back in attack, chewin on a big mac.... oh and Cam McLeod is still a hack!!!

Chief outGood to have you back chief...

[switch the play]

Whilst we are on the topic of all things Darley-just wondering if someone could answer a couple of questions.Is coach Learsa playing at all in '08 or has he retired?Is Marcus Hastings playing there again-if so how has his season been?And finally Spook Guerra-how has his form been?

[Ess Kay Warne]

LearMOUTH as i call him? not playing- focusing on coaching and doing a real good job... Hastings? Not tellin you anyway, wait and see and Spook Guerra? He is doing well dad and thanks for asking. P.s can you tell mum that the new linen she sent down fits just right.
good to see you back chief, NOT!

Someone told me Hastings will be back later this year, also McGill who is real handy hasnt played yet.

[herbert#5]

actually nar he is a terrific bloke trust everything that comes out of his mouth!!!probly cant ring him as i havent got his mobile number only see him when he is home!!! better player than you im guessing

[Ess Kay Warne]

I am a die hard devil but there are a few things you dont do in life- dob on your mates, stir Shaun Deckert up when he is drunk, sleep with a Melton South netballer (yuk) or bag the webbers. Them dudes have red hair, freckles and bad attitudes... Melton are 15 Webbers short of a good side. meh..
Thru that, they go off, especially the pizza making one

Lekkas to line for Sunbury


GAVIN MCGRATH
21/05/2008 10:50:00 PM
FORMER Hawthorn midfielder Angelo Lekkas will make his debut with Sunbury in the Ballarat Football League on Saturday.
The 31-year-old will line up against Darley at Darley Park.
Sunbury coach Tony Liberatore has lured Lekkas back to Australian rules football after a year playing soccer.
Lekkas played 180 games for the Hawks. Liberatore said Lekkas had missed playing footy and, when approached by the Lions, indicated he was keen to get on board.
"I'd known (Lekkas) around the traps, from his days at Hawthorn, and we've been speaking for a while," Liberatore said.
"We caught up for breakfast and had a chat to see where he was at.
"He told me he loves his footy and said it would be great to have a run with us and we're really happy to have him.
"We lost 15 players and we've had to make sure we've been able to bring others back to the club," Liberatore said.
Lekkas retired from the AFL in 2005, three months after making his return to the game following a minor stroke.
The 184cm midfielder-forward' last appearance for the Hawks was against Sydney on August 27, 2005.
The new Lion, who represented Australia in the 2002 International Rules series against Ireland, has since received the all clear to play football again. Liberatore denied Lekkas was being paid a lot to play for Sunbury.
"He isn't playing for nothing, but its not a ridiculous amount of money," Liberatore said.
"He'll play on Saturday, but it is hard to say where he'll play. "We are playing a very good side in Darley, and Angelo is very versatile, so it remains to be seen."

Tips for the week

Ballarat v Melton South
Ballarat too strong

Darley v Sunbury
Sunbury in an upset. Still don't rate Darley

Sebas V Bacchus Marsh
Sebas in a close game

Lakers v North City
Lakers easily

Redan v East point
Redan make it two in a row and travelling nicely. Good test for East Point.

[ORACLE 69]

Angelo Lekkas looks like a droptail skink on a bad drug and is well past his prime (which wasn't too flash anyway). Anyone wanna bet a sister on Darley Vs Sunbury? I like how Oracle still doesn't rate the devils yet they are unbeaten after round 5. I am by no stretch saying that they are home and hosed but atleast give that they are a genuine threat (especially with still another 3 or 4 blokes to come back).

I'll put my sister up Chief though she has teeth, doen't drink jim beam and wears skirts and dresses and not acid wash jeans:D

Ballarat - Home ground only reason
Darley - To go 6 Nil
Bacchus - A kick the difference
Lakers - Can't drop these ones if they want to play finals.
Redan - Tough one but need to win. Ryall V Jordan should be good to watch.

Redan to get there 5 blokes back from VFL duties, hopefully get one more game out of them this year to qualify them for finals if Redan were to make them???.

Let me stress I am not having a go at Redan here as they are only taking advantage of what I believe is an ordinary rule but is it fair that blokes from North Ballarat in the VFL can play 3 games and still qualify for BFL finals??? Surely it should be more than 3? We all know that if Redan makes the finals there chances improve 100% because all these guys come back from North Ballarat. The way I see it the rule should be that you must play at least 6 games.

Darley v Sunbury
Sunbury in an upset. Still don't rate Darley


If you say its an upset, doesnt that mean you do rate Darley?

[the_other]

Let me stress I am not having a go at Redan here as they are only taking advantage of what I believe is an ordinary rule but is it fair that blokes from North Ballarat in the VFL can play 3 games and still qualify for BFL finals??? Surely it should be more than 3? We all know that if Redan makes the finals there chances improve 100% because all these guys come back from North Ballarat. The way I see it the rule should be that you must play at least 6 games.

The way they are travelling this year North Ballarat's seconds would be a chance to be playing finals anyway, but I guess it is an advantage (although Redan are good enough to encourage their players to try out at the higher league in the first place).

Curse strikes BFL captains


23/05/2008 12:27:00 AM
A CAPTAINS' curse has struck the Ballarat Football League.
Redan skipper Nathan Blomeley will miss at least a month of football with what is believed to be a stress fracture of the foot, while two of Sebastopol's three captains will be sidelined for tomorrow's match against Bacchus Marsh after Jimmy Carroll joined Chris Wills on the injured list with a shoulder injury.
Carroll suffered a dislocated shoulder against East Point and is not expected to return for up to six weeks.
Blomeley's return, meanwhile, is less clear, Redan coach Shane Snibson said the club was yet to work out a rehabilitation program for the 24-year-old.
"Nathan has had scans (on the foot) and they weren't positive,'' Snibson said.
"He won't be playing this week and it's fair to say it will be a few weeks. We can't say how many until we go through the process. With a hamstring you know it is about three weeks but the nature of this injury is we won't know exactly (how long until Blomeley returns).''
Carroll injured the shoulder when he slid underneath a pack and a number of players fell on him.
The shoulder clicked back into place following the match but a trip to the hospital confirmed there had been more damage than first suspected.
Carroll was appointed captain at Sebastopol at the start of the season, along with Chris Wills and James Brick.
Wills missed last Saturday's match with a hamstring strain and is probably still two weeks away from returning.
"It's lucky we named three captains because we've only got one left,'' Sebastopol coach Mark Russell said.
Brick, 22, is the youngest club captain at Sebastopol in the club's 114-year history, Russell said. He will be supported tomorrow against Bacchus Marsh by a former young captain in Malcolm Niblett, who has been released from North Ballarat duty for the match because the Roosters' reserves have the bye.

Point taken but 3's good!!!

Do you have a sister to creeker!!!!
Two actually, stay away!:)

[lloyd christmas]

I was talking with Darley coach Gary Learmonth last night and he said there was a few key injuries for the Dev's this week. Apparently Zane and Jordan Dix could be playing the late game against Sunbury together tomorrow. Great for the town and I'm sure Maree and Tony would be proud as punch. Zane is a very silky wingman and Jordan a tough, solid half back. Good luck guys.

[Kings Army]

I think Sunbury may pop the Devils bubble today. Darley may have over achieved early and now may start headinig back to the pack.

[da_wog_from_so]

hahahahhahaha darley lost by two points! and kallum killer in the best top 5 in league!

[chumpy]

hahahahhahaha darley lost by two points! and kallum killer in the best top 5 in league!
Darley hit the front with 10 seconds to go, Sunbury won the centre break and Ben Jordan kicked a great goal on the run from 45m. Darley didnt deserve to win, played terrible, but got close enough to nearly snatch it.

[pickman]

Great game at Darley Park this afternoon, entertaining throughout and what a finish! Two lead changing goals in the last 30 seconds doesn't happen often

Devils will learn a valuable lesson, you can't expect to win if you let good sides get up by five goals at half time!

[the runner]

I think Sunbury may pop the Devils bubble today. Darley may have over achieved early and now may start headinig back to the pack.
Sunbury may have one but dont right the devils off king. i watched the game and the devils played shocking in the first half. The loins were up by 6 goals at the main brake. The second half was a differnt story, darley played on there terms and sunbury didnt like there style of play one bit. Darley hit the lead with less than a minute to go then Ben Jorden kicked a goal to take the lead back. Top game of footy...

Darley stiff.

[howzat]

nick suban best on for vic country

[rex10]

Devils are still a good side but played very average in the first half. Did well to fight back and will be a better side for the loss. Well done to Sunbury they used their talls very well to set up a great first half lead. They totally dominated the ruck and centre breaks beacuse of this. Good win by a good club. Seemed more disciplind this year without power at the helm (Jerk). They aren't this years premiers but will shake the better teams. Moo hoo dot him out
Did you actually write that chief, sure it wasnt someone logging on as you??? Not the usual shit that you spend half you life writing on this thread. Surely you cant have any mates with all that time you have. That win might shut all you darley supporters up a bit.

Win lose or draw the darley supporters will offer some advice buddy. Sunbury were good solid outfit and very underrated throughout the league. Lekkas will be a very handy pick up but libba should retire. Good in the first half but tired badly in the 2nd. Copping some nice sprays from his forwards for turning the footy over. Also rumours floating around that Sunbury are in line to sign another high profile former AFL player. Big budgets at Sunbury.

5 and 1 at the break, on top of the ladder, betaen in the last 10 seconds of the only game they have lost, the devils will take that!!!!

[ORACLE 69]

Unfortunately the Oracle will not be able to gloat with his predictions on Darley as the swannees were smashed. I will put out a warning to other clubs that Melton South are a darkhorse as they are starting to get a few back and from what they were saying there will be more big names to come in.

Oracle will retire humbly for a while with his beak buried.:(

[Ess Kay Warne]

Great result for South on the weekend. Ballarat very overated.

Sounds like Darley were pretty stiff. How did lekkas go?

On the Marsh v Sebas game, I am assuming the trouble was caused by the young group of marsh supporters that seem to be a disgrace at most games. They are even worse than the lads from Darley that used to sit near the opposition coaches box.

Let's just hope the league handles this properly, sounds pretty ugly. Any Marsh / Sebas people want to fill us in on what happened? Was there any reports come out of this match?

By all reports Lekka's was very handy and will only improve from the run. Liba should retire life. There's no role for fat imposter's, stick to the sidelines and tuck into mumma's souvlaki you little rotund warrior.

Ballarat seem to be the over-rated mess of a side that gets pumped up year after year. Get some ticker, start loving your footy as much as the 17 year olds that you all give disco treats to at 21 arms. the eye's are out there.

The stench that is Bacchus Marsh seems to grow week after week. Even with a win over sebas (not that great) you are still all ugly people that shouldn't be allowed out after dark. The Lad's behind the coaches box at Darley were at least funny when they used to spray the opposition coaches box. i had a running feud the day i kicked 8 there on Shane Basset. The problem with the Marsh youngsters is they can't drink and there not funny. Kissy Whelan is a reject trainer from Darley and he's leading the pack there.

My team South are just quietly kicking along and the less said the better. Young scratch cat Scoble has the gear's in motion and is teaching us how to run the wide lines on big open grounds.

East Point, disgusting. Redan could be back and look like the only western side to come near the evident power three in Sunbury, Darley and my hommies.

stop assuming mate because you're quite wrong, sebas supporters are feral and king hit one of the marsh supporters for god knows what! also a sebas supporter run on the field in the last quarter of the two's and tried to smack one of the marsh players! Sebas is full of inbreds they need to lay of the bongs.

Way different to the story I heard. Not the first time the Mush have been involved in thuggery this season. The usual suspects involved again.

care to explain merrigan? i was there and standing in a close proximity. couldn't hear much of what was said though. but i do know that a player from sebas ones approached some supporters after getting beat. then an old man? maybe father? then marsh supporters walking away then getting king hit from behind! some of the attempted king hits during the twos were just disgraceful. supposedly sebas have banned a supporter and a 2's player. but yeah as i said ferals!

also care to explain the other thuggery's please? and if you try to refer to the laker's game don't please. if i was in the position that they got put in i would of tried to smack the living daylights out of that Mcguigin too after king hitting one of the marsh players! dog

Heard on the grapevine that your time might nearly be up after saturdays effort. Big budget at darley this year too. May as well spend a bit more and make a certainy of it. (flag)

Well if you were there you would probably know better than me, my information is third hand. Heard pretty much what you said about the 1s incident, the sebas player had been copping from the marsh u'18s?? crowd and his old man who was seated in his car nearby told them to ____ off and they hurled abuse among other things at him. After the game the player went to see if the boys were as brave up close as they were from behind the fence and I'm told they weren't. I'm told that 1 involved is currently serving a suspension from earlier in the year, is that right?

As for the 2s game, got told there was a lot of cheap shots dished out by a couple of marsh boys - there are some broken face bones as evidence of that, and thats how the trouble started. Think you're right about somebody getting the boot from sebas, the ________ that jumped the fence, don't know if any players have though.

The other thuggery? I'll leave that to others who have played against them this year to judge. Probably got kicked dog syndrome down at Maddingley Park, bite any and everyone but still run and hide when kicked again.

that old man and his friends/family also had a young group of people who joined in on the slander, i also recall the sebas supporter skulling beer and then throwing his empty on the ground waving his hand as if he wanted the marsh supporters to come over! the one that skulled the beer was also the one who king hit the marsh supporter. so it would of been maybe a mix of both but the sebas people just took it too far with violence pretty silly really. need to learn to grow up!

No doubt fault on both sides. It takes 2 to tango

[da_wog_from_so]

anyway darley will win the flag this year. i take back any previous comments. in fact I'm going to put 50 dollars for them to win the flag.

Thuggery??? mmm I think king hitting players behind play ala McGuigan of Lake Wendouree would be classed as thuggery which is something none of our players have done and if they did they would cop it from the club and their team mates if they did.

[da_wog_from_so]

I just wrote possibly the funniest sh!t man has ever written on this site and the page screwed up so i will save it all in the top of my head and use it in further posts so that you can admire my comedy in portions rather than being spoilt with one major passage of masterpice literature. Basically all i will say today is as follows-

Bacchus Marsh dont say you were king hit, you were just smacked in the beak cause you were trying to say funny sh!t like we do but your not funny!!!! You should be used to getting punched up because we have made it like a rostered treat from the day you were all born. Just move on and focus on marrying a cousin or something.

Oh and Rex i have plenty of mates and plenty of time on my hands its just that the chief doesn't have to do much because he sends his Indians out to collect the bullion while he sips on a merLOT, puffs on a big cuban and watches a Melton South netballer parade the summer outfit around the jacuzzi.

Last but not least question of the week. What would everybody find more inspiring before a game of footy- listening to the last post played before an ANZAC day game or listening to one of Cameron McLeods pre-game pep ups with his aggressive husky voice and all inspiring talk about how "we owe this mob" or "straight through em South"? For me personally- give me the little man with the husky voice any day...

Chief out, chief about and more importantly chief out and about and has been landing a few brown trout- thanks for the bait tip hazel

i hope this 2nd effort was nothing like the 1st because it isn't the slightest bit funny. maybe you yourself chief is just becoming like yesterdays news. oh well not funny anymore.

[pistons son]

Way different to the story I heard. Not the first time the Mush have been involved in thuggery this season. The usual suspects involved again.

It all started in the reserves game. Marsh were winning and giving it to sebast and sebast were obviously frustrated. Then a small scuffle started which only had 6 players involved. The usual push and shoving crap.
A young bloke standing in front of me from sebast ran on the ground and tried to hit one of the marsh players. This then made for an all in brawl. The kid who ran on then tried to walk off and the umpires for the ones game went on to the ground and got the kids i.d and basically said he wouldn't be allowed at a game ever again.
As for the ones game, too many frothies from both teams but it wasn't as ugly as they wrote in the paper. One sebast kid threw a punch at a marsh kid and 30 people tired to pull 1 kid off the other and and vise versa. That was it.
No it isn't the first time this season. McGuigan's name keeps coming up. Would you jump in if one of your mates got hit?

Word is Mcguigan might have a sore throat come round 14. There's a bit going around! The Marsh boys might send him some soothers so he is right for the game............................................

How about you concentrate on winning football games, everyone knows you are very bad at it.
Marsh v Lakers round 14, can't wait to see 21 weak guys chase a player around for 100 mins while you get done by 25 goals. Who's gona get him "Benedetti", please give us a break. Dead set joke of club, and with you morons on here you are making yourselves look worse. I don't want to see your club fold because Darley get at least 2 percentage boosters a year.

I strongly suggest that people stop making comments unless they know the facts. And from what the above 2 posts say, you do not know what really happened and are just trying to cover bacchus marsh's backs. The league investigations officer is investigating the actions of the sebas supporter and just as importantly 2 bacchus marsh reserves players in regards to king hits off the ball immediately before the fight started. Nobody condones spectators running onto the field but i feel that it would best for some supporters to stop making comments until after the investigations as what really started it will come out and may embarrass you

Regardless of age and who the bloke is, you still need to show presence, but don't have to turn it into a brawl.

Your obviously not a senior figure at your club or even a player as i'd doubt Dion would agree with you that he is hanging out for round 14 to belt McGuigan...?

If anything your making your club sound very pathetic.

Thuggery??? mmm I think king hitting players behind play ala McGuigan of Lake Wendouree would be classed as thuggery which is something none of our players have done and if they did they would cop it from the club and their team mates if they did.

Thanks for the advice arse Lica but as it is an open forum I will comment when and on whatever I feel like. Since that last post I have spoken to 4 players from Sebas 2s who have all come to the same conclusion, that Bacchus Marsh 2s have a few king hitting snipers in the team. One of whom got his payback during the melee at the end of the game. And oddly enough, that opinion is echoed by the Lake Wendouree football club. 1 of their seconds players hasn't played since they played the Cobras due to a smashed cheekbone courtesy of a late forearm from a thug. So you can crap on all you like about Chris Mcguigan and what a dirty prick he is, while at the same time making out that the Marsh are clean skins if it makes you feel all warm and fuzzy, but you aren't fooling anyone. I suppose it is hard being the shit club in a 2 team town, a merged club at that, but pretending to be tough won't help bridge the gap between the Marsh and Darley. Your club is a toilet.

young fella?
It was assistant coach and ex western bulldogs and werribee player michael smith. he'd be in his early 30's. he's well respected at the club and i say round 14............................................
If that is what your club is looking forward to this year, then you are pathetic. Brawling and losing games sounds like a good club to be at. No wonder you can't get anyone decent to play there.

To be honest if anyone takes anything relatively serious on this forum they need to take a look at there shit lives. So much rubbish gets posted on these forums & no one knows who anyone is, clearly chief hasn't the slightest clue about who i am.

[da_wog_from_so]

I strongly suggest that people stop making comments unless they know the facts. And from what the above 2 posts say, you do not know what really happened and are just trying to cover bacchus marsh's backs. The league investigations officer is investigating the actions of the sebas supporter and just as importantly 2 bacchus marsh reserves players in regards to king hits off the ball immediately before the fight started. Nobody condones spectators running onto the field but i feel that it would best for some supporters to stop making comments until after the investigations as what really started it will come out and may embarrass you

also i know alot more then you think i know. but how do we know that what i just said is true? ohwell

[light beer]

that old man and his friends/family also had a young group of people who joined in on the slander, i also recall the sebas supporter skulling beer and then throwing his empty on the ground waving his hand as if he wanted the marsh supporters to come over! the one that skulled the beer was also the one who king hit the marsh supporter. so it would of been maybe a mix of both but the sebas people just took it too far with violence pretty silly really. need to learn to grow up!
sounds like the week little big mouth retro wankers from the marsh were trapping off and when confronted they by sebas supporters the week little cowards shit themselves thats what it sounds like to me only my opionon having seen it all before

[light beer]

It all started in the reserves game. Marsh were winning and giving it to sebast and sebast were obviously frustrated. Then a small scuffle started which only had 6 players involved. The usual push and shoving crap.
A young bloke standing in front of me from sebast ran on the ground and tried to hit one of the marsh players. This then made for an all in brawl. The kid who ran on then tried to walk off and the umpires for the ones game went on to the ground and got the kids i.d and basically said he wouldn't be allowed at a game ever again.
As for the ones game, too many frothies from both teams but it wasn't as ugly as they wrote in the paper. One sebast kid threw a punch at a marsh kid and 30 people tired to pull 1 kid off the other and and vise versa. That was it.
No it isn't the first time this season. McGuigan's name keeps coming up. Would you jump in if one of your mates got hit?

Word is Mcguigan might have a sore throat come round 14. There's a bit going around! The Marsh boys might send him some soothers so he is right for the game............................................
i wouldn't be that worried if i was mcguigan weakest side in the comp bacchus marsh is

Well if you were there you would probably know better than me, my information is third hand. Heard pretty much what you said about the 1s incident, the sebas player had been copping from the marsh u'18s?? crowd and his old man who was seated in his car nearby told them to ____ off and they hurled abuse among other things at him. After the game the player went to see if the boys were as brave up close as they were from behind the fence and I'm told they weren't. I'm told that 1 involved is currently serving a suspension from earlier in the year, is that right?

As for the 2s game, got told there was a lot of cheap shots dished out by a couple of marsh boys - there are some broken face bones as evidence of that, and thats how the trouble started. Think you're right about somebody getting the boot from sebas, the ________ that jumped the fence, don't know if any players have though.

The other thuggery? I'll leave that to others who have played against them this year to judge. Probably got kicked dog syndrome down at Maddingley Park, bite any and everyone but still run and hide when kicked again.

as i was on the ground at the time the sebas player who went into the pack didnt start anything i heard that he was defending his father and that the under 18s from both sides started swinging and as for the ressies game the bloke who jumped the fence was pulling people of his mate who was getting bashed by about 4 bacchas ppl also the umpire in the 2s recalled his statment only coz hes a poofy bacchas umpire and runner for the 1s who i seen him mouthing a few of the sebas players on the feild so i think he will be in a little bit of trouble

You're probably right, but how do you spell the name of the place you have listed as your location?

The 18's game was the best if you don't mind me saying. Few little skruffles but very close game!

Listen up pheasants,

Why is the so much talk about a few loosely swung palms between the stench club and sebas? with any luck they obliterate each other and the rest of the comp can get on with business as usual.

Here's an idea, instead of bothering us next year you two clubs should ring Yooralla and organise a little round robin. My cash would be on Yooralla.

As for Wog, this is a forum and as such everyone is entitled to there opinion. You abuse this system more then anyone else, minus oracle. don't go getting down from the fact your club is down and out, cop it on the chin like your carpet pythons have been for years courtesy of Darley.

As for the little round robin that is going on this year between Sunbury, South and Darley. Creeker the cranker seems to think otherwise but with the exception of Redan i can't see the flag going anywhere but one of these clubs. Sunbury prove time and time again that they will sign another 2-3 big guns before it's to late. Redan may upset one of them in the finals but can't do it to at least two of them which they'll need to.

Eo Sposo, eo vano sultamano, unes margaritas unes yachtes per favor.

Bit touchy cam just because I said with my opinion Darley were no good. To date they have done nothing to change that opinion.

Hanging s**t on yooralla shows your class you feral.

[Cameron Poe]

Oracle,
You can say what you want about darley's hopes this year but the simple fact is you have majorly overlooked them as a force to be reckoned with. When you have the wog coming out and saying they are a great chance it is a big wake up call. time for you to rub the peepers together and come to grips with the fact as well. On another note your a jerk.

As for my boys at South, them wide lines scratch cat scoble has us running are really starting to pay off. It's just a pity that Dane prefers lines off the dunnies in pure.

you all know why i'm here, i'm here to save the f#$ (f@#%ing)king day
