AK Lines (Watsonia) has been resurfaced and is now almost identical to Lower Plenty - sensational grass cover and drainage, but the actual ground underneath is quite hard if you hit the deck.
Up there with LP, Whittlesea and Heidelberg West as the best 4 surfaces in Div 2 this year.

only having been in div 1 my favourite ground is my home ground in westgarth street but also love to play on epping and heidleberg i find eltham a bit dangerous in the pocket with the cricket net have never played there in dry conditions

I have played on all grounds as well... and the good thing about it is, they always have and always will be so predictable. So when your sitting at home on a friday night, having a quiet stubby watching the footy and its pouring down outside, you know that when your playing at South Morang or Eltham or Creek tomorrow that its gunna be a slog. Or the night before a final, your going to enjoy the lusher grounds of Epping or Whittlesea. I think its great that we have something predictable in what has become a very unpredicable competition.:thumbsu:
Husrtbridge are playing at the old high school ground this yr as they are redoing their main ground and making it longer so blokes like Simon Cox cant kick goals from the wing.
having played on creeks ground and now watch every 2nd week there i can say its prob the worst surface going around by about round 10 just no grass and on hot days playing on dust isn't great
Is that true about hurstbridge's ground if so what is their high school ground like does anybody know, hopefully its bigger than the golf green they call a ground.
Do they even have change rooms there or will teams have to wonder out into the scrub to get changed and maybe take a dip in the creek to wash up.
Never played at their ground as a senoir, but played there as a junoir and it was cramped back then I've always wondered how senoirs would go there.
Is it the smallest ground in the league ?.

speaking of hurstbridge, how will they go in 2006, they had a shocker by the reports last year but from what i hear have a good crop of young talent? will they play finals? if not who do you think will play finals in div 2?

Dont think theres any changes rooms at the high school. And looking at it from driving past it just looks a usual high school oval, longer than their normal ground but pretty crap i must say.

theres no way im playing on that ******** heap at hursty. lasy time i was there was 2001 when as a year 11 i ended up playing for our year 8 footy side somehow... anyway, the surface was the worst thing going. hursty main ground not much better.

i played cricket at the hurstbridge high ground probably 3 weeks ago, hard as a rock would surely be unsafe to play footy on in the early rounds. Main ground looked to be coming along well.
Wonder why we all moved to the other Diamond Valley thread, what was wrong with this one??

Lower Plenty vs Greensborough... That will be a LOCK IN. Lower Plenty are back where they deserve to be.
What goes around comes around.
Everyone thought that going down and winning a divvy 2 flag was easy. Lalor won the 3 in 2001, but thats funny.... I havent seen Greensborough for a few years, and I doubt I will be seeing Lower for a few more...
Seems like we have both underperformed this year!!! Whilst you probably wont be seeing Greensborough again next year, the chances are, you will be seeing Lower again quicker thant you thought!!!

We still got 3 weeks to improve our position. You guys could start 3 months earlier and G'boro would still beat you by 15 goals.
And I guarantee if we did meet you blokes next year, we would demolish you, even with the injury riddled side we have right now :p

No ive always remained mates with blokes who have gone to play elsewhere... its only a game.
I dont like Lower because of the behind the scenes stuff that went on to get Lalor down to division 2 in 2000. Lower and Heidelberg lost alot of people from alot of clubs because of that. And WE KNOW it happened.
But we are over that now. We just wont ever forget it.
hey, wheredid this thread come from?
anyhow, bet lalor contemplates something similar with north heidelberg in final game of season to try and stay in division1 and send epping to division2.

This is the old thread, canned in March 2006.
That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. But, in saying that I rate our chances against North more than any of the next 3 games.
Take it to the other thread folks.

I dont deny that. Wasn't having a go. Just stating that looking back, how things can go a lot differently to the way we expect. Everyone is very optimistic before Round 1, as we both were, but things haven't gone to plan. Make no mistake, we know we've got a long way to go. We certainly wont be beating out chests after last Saturday's result.

While there's life there's hope hey??? I'm sure you won't be giving up hope of avoiding relegation until the final siren of the last round, as I'm sure we haven't given up hope of winning a premiership, as unrealistic as that may sound after Saturday's result! All the best!!

And neither you should... Its a bigger mind thing for Boro to go into a finals campaign after what happened last year. And playing at W'sea doesnt suit alot of sides... your always a chance while your still in it. These young blokes sometimes crumble under the different pace and increased pressure of finals footy.

yeahs, boros arent the shoesin that people thing. macleod spies have been watching them in recent weks and reckon have a good idea how to beat then especially as whittlesea beat them earlier at the showgrounds.

At this stage it looks like Macleod will play Greensborough in the last round and the first final. So will be interesting to see when Wayne Harmes decides to put this plan into place????

You may be right, you may be wrong.... But I doubt very much Jamesy would travel that far for home games.
More of a possibility of Gav coaching Lalor again and Jamesy returning.. One never knows ;)

Reservoir still has to play Greensborough as well! Plus Macleod has a game and hefty percentage over next spot.
There is a huge advantage for finishing top two - a loss in first final gets you into a preliminary final, a win the grand final, whereas positions 3 - 6 you have to win two finals just to make the prelim. Very strange system. Should be a final five I reckon.

I heard there was a brainstorming session at Lower on Tuesday with all players and coaches, positive night I`m informed. Also heard from a reliable source that you blokes are not far away from a fairly high profile sponsor for next season as well as a former A.F.L. player who kicked 4 goals in his last game of A.F.L. about 2 years ago before being delisted. Can you fill us in Matchwinner?

Can only confirm that we had a brainstorming session on Tuesday. Was just important to freshen up a bit and re-focus for the rest of the season, after what happened last Saturday.
Can't give you any info on potential sponsor or possible recruit though. I normally stay out of that area. All I can say is that with the direction the club is taking, youth is the priority, and any recruit would have to be prepared to commit for the longer term, and put something back into the kids and the club. We are no longer interested in recruits who are there for one or two years, take their money and run!!!
Can you fill me in on who this sponsor and player might be though???

I would be very disappointed if Sleethy didnt get the gig for next season.:thumbsd:
In 3 years has taken the club from 4 wins in his first season to 9 wins in his second season and now hopefully a finals birth in his 3rd. With a young list to work with I think the club has what it takes to be regular finals contenders over the next few years:thumbsu:

Prefer not to confirm the sponsor at this stage as it might put a friend in a awkward position, but lets just say this mob turns over millions every week, I`m sure you might be able to narrow it down with a bit of detective work. As for the player, would be a sensational pick up but once again too early to be putting out names but lets just say would dominate div 1. If I hear anymore, I`ll try and let you know.

I agree with you there doona, we are missing a couple of older heads to help steer the young boys in the right direction out on the field. The inclusion of briggs down at Wallan has been sensational, his knowledge of footy and the leadership he brings to everygame is a trait that not to many guys have.
Hopefully Sleethy wants to have another crack ( which I'm sure he will ) I have seen him grow as a coach in the last couple of years and he has a hell of alot of coaching in front of him.
GYTM, big function at sydney crescent this saturday night, it would clearly be the most anticipated function of the year, would'nt it?

And yes Moxy I am all mature now and just concentrating on my fitness and I might hit the weights over pre season and build up my cannons instead of having the mosquito bites on a strand of spaghetti that i have now. My big drinking days have just been put on hold for a bit.

You wouldnt have been one of the four that were there would you molly.
Maybe talking the others into coming along to wallan on the false pretences of watching a good game, When in fact they were brought along to gratify your own sense of self esteem here on big footy!! ;)

Now that that false rumour has been squashed we can now talk about true rumours like if heidelberg are leaving the dvfl. For the sake of the league I hope not because it could mean the start of a rapid decline in standard but being a selfish blood and our chances of relegation getting bigger every week then I hope they leave. lets get that win we need and hopefully have another crack at the tigers.

I think a lot of people at heidelberg are changing there minds about the whole thing so it could be divi 2 for the bloods i feel for you boys such a good club in financial position i hopeyou blokes pull yourselves out of it and return to the bloods of old.
looks like you are getting your mail from the same place as me (see my previous post). Yep, I understand that all bets are off now in regard to the heidelberg move.

First of all, Congratulations to hurstbridge on keeping their finals hopes alive.
Now beerbandit.
I think you are just annoyed because nobody talks about your dump of a club on here.
I rate your club about as high as a broken kite.
I hope deano and the boys down at Thommo come to your sh@t heap of a ground and beat the living crap out of you.:D

Docker,
Heard from a reliable source that he is keen to play at Diamo next year. Will still have to get a clearance though. Makes sense as Diamo would be closest to where he lives.
He was also at our $10K draw (actually ran a C&A table) so dont read to much into his appearance at social functions.

it would be fantastic if we could get his services and the club are in a better cash situation than at the same time last yr but seriously when clubs like yarrawonga, vermont and ne one in the gvfl start opening there cheque books as if we can match that.
yeah he is good mates wit a couple of guys down there and one of my best mates who works wit him from time to time actually reckons he is an ok bloke dispite what a fair few ppl have said on here

Heidelberg is on the way out for sure now its all been confurmed.
I also herd a little wisper that their president was going to walk out on them if they dont leave the valey.
How about the TT Bears they are flying at the moment the cave is rockin and when they pick up 6 or 7 players next year they will be the real deal.

Any club that wants to move up the ladder would be mad not to chase saul caddy,absolute gun and top bloke but the thing is i'll be fighting to keep him in the red and blue of the colts next year boys and hopefully with one of his good mates also coming along with a job lined up for him,it mite be that he hangs around.

Reporter,
Have heard that Heidelberg will have no option but to stay.
However TB will have achieved his aim of shaking up the DV with Football Victoria set to appoint someone to investigate the DV and implement some much needed changes.
Once Heidelberg stay it may also mean the end of TB with the Mitcham Tigers his next club of choice.

Good finish to the year for Colts. Just got to get Saul to kick straight!
Best of Luck in keeping Saul but I think he may want to play closer to home.

not only is north heidelberg lesser for the loss of Saul - they have struggled to win since his departure, with their chance in the first final now virtually nothing - but the league has also suffered by losing a quality player.

Saul would be a loss to any side, but even his outstanding form with the Colts the last 6 weeks, North would still struggle with their injuries and form at the moment.
From the horses mouth
"If Heidleberg get in the Eastern that's where I'll play otherwise see what happens".
Saul would be a grrat pick up and is pretty good mates with Trev Barrot and best mates with Stinga. THey have houses about 200m away from each other in Doreen.

i go and watch port for the fact my best mate is there and talking to him about he is about 80% that saul will stay on and mate there are people at the colts who are hard blokes to say no to if they want saul to stay im sure they will do what they can to make sure he is happy and that he is well looked after i know that if he wanted an easy job making at least 80 000 a year on the wharfe like they did for cooper he would have 1 tomorrow so it will be intresting to see as he has really enjoyed playing with cooper and the boys from port

Absolute Crap.
He was on minimal coin at the Kennel and quite often did not get paid at all depending on the clubs finances.
Having said that I think he has been surprised at what sort of $ are available at various clubs (Monty) and will seek a reasonable $.
Not the be all and end all for Saul. He would play for less money at a club he feels most comfortable at.

Agreed Bearfan.... wants to play finals in a Divvy 1 side, regardless of comp... Thats why he approached H'berg, Bundoora and Mont before he left. Wouldve preferred to stay in the Valley, but wont return now... Grass seems to be greener for him over that way.

Its all about Saul. 2 big facts he left North the 1st time to go to Yarra cause he didnt win the B & F, then he left again when he didnt make the team or the century. I repaeat its all about him. Good luck to the next team that gets him. North were the only team that could handle him but in the end the club is bigger than the indiviual no matter how good a player he is

you are a uneducated fool mate that obviously does not know Saul Caddy personaly.
I can tell you know he plays for port colts for not much and even told us he would play for a $100 less than we offered himand he has been nothing but fantastic for the boys down at port and we love having him around,he says what he thinks and he demands the footy and wants to win not only the games he plays but every contest that is just his competitive nature,also north did want him to stay so all the sh it that is spoken about is surely blown out of proportion,we all have had our moments of madness and if we are branded with things that happen in the past we all would be strung up but we all mature and i don't know what hee has done in the past but i can tell you he is a great bloke,a gun player and a great team man and very ggod to coach and hopefully he can stay with us but if not my opinion will not change.

But the reason he went to Yarra had nothing to do with not winning best and fairest.

Ok buddy you seem to know it all about him. Are you sure your not stalking the poor fella? He played 6 years at north for sweet FA and they still owe him money. He won their b n f last year in a flag playing with some gun players that also had good years. Is probably stiff not to have won 3 in his time at north. Whatever he gets paid to play footy mate he earns every cent of it. One of the best local footballers in the state deserves to be paid accordingly.
