While malleeboy is in the solarium I'll answer that. I spoke to Ibis this morning. Gathers has been told he needs a reco. He is getting a second opinion today and if that confirms it he will miss next year. Big blow for South and the league.

Just been having a look at the teams some of you are doing and its interesting with many names popping up for most positions down the spine FB, CHB, CHF, FF and even in the ruck. Is it that there is no stand out in these positions and its a toss of a coin job or a lot of blokes in these positions that are guns and having great years all in the same year?

Santoz.... its not about the players ability. It is how the player performs throughout the season. Anstey has had an average year only kicking 16 goals and you have named him in the forward pocket???????????. And Haase is the leading goalkicker and you named him on the forward pocket????

carn,ben mathews,vining and anstey shouldnt be in the side... and peter zappia 50 goals shouldnt be on the bench, an john jackson is in the best 4-5 players in the comp on form..other than that not 2 bad

O'Connor has kicked nearly twice as many goals as Simms, so why doesn't he rate a mention in anyone's side on the forward flank instead of Simms? I understand they play different positions but he nearly won the goal kicking this year in a side where he'd probably get the best key defender. Simms might get the 2nd best because of Eagle.
I think Vining has had a pretty good year. Can't comment on Jackson because I've only seen him 3 times (for 1 mention in the best).
I dunno how Spivey and Cumming's backline form is but I doubt they've played in defense in a while, although I'm probably wrong. Ryan hasn't played in defense since the beginning of the year so I don't see why you named them there ...

Actually, just having a look at Matthews season, he's only been in the best a couple of times. He plays as probably the 2nd tall defender doesn't he? From what I've seen he plays some good footy. Has he been injured at all? Not playing good footy? Or overlooked every time it comes to handing out the best players ???

santoz,badds,skeeterman honestly how can you justify selecting cardew at chf before rod simms? cardew would not blow wind up chingas arse when it came to playing that position.i have watched both play about 4-5 times each this year and simms is the top chf in this comp then daylight and maybe toby after that.......

vining has had a good year yes but not good enough to be in the team let alone in the centre....aussie cumming has spent alot of the year at half back as he did on the weekend you have fair point on spivey and gonzo i guess but to be honest there arent many other defenders who are worthy...wether you have simmsy at chf or hf who really cares... santoz trust me on jacko hes a gun and hes had a great year ask anyone from other clubs they will tell you... and a tip dont take to much notice of best player lists they are very misleading at times....

ben mathews last 6 weeks have been really good, but before that he was close to getting dropped hes an important player for us as most times he takes the second tall....

simmsy is a great player and has been for a long period of time, both he and toby have had big years.. up until interleague toby was the best performed forward in the comp, dont forget early season form.... you could make arguements for both being named at chf...

Sorry badds but I think you will go down. I don't really rate Wenty as you are too one dementional in your foward line. If Bell doesn't kick 7, you wont win and it is as simple as that.
Mildura are very soft but their older players have more finals experience than your young team.
At the end of the day, tomorrows game doesn't mean much because Irymple and Robinvale will play off in the Grand Final

I agree with you 3inaronw, that the eagles and irymple will most likely play each other in the GF.
However some advice for you. When your team hasn't made the finals, you really don't have much right in criticising teams that have.
Just curious 3inarow, are you a senior or seconds player for Imps?

71 goals playing half the season their is a fantastic effort boris that's why!
Surely he deserves some recognition as does Simms whom I believe is a great player also.Tall Poppy syndrome alive and well.
As for 3inarow you don't rate Wentworth and think Mildura are soft yet both touched up your side a couple of times.
Tomorrows game doesn't mean much to you because your team didn't even make the finals but I believe the game should be one of the best for the season with both teams having a red hot crack. Oh yeah also, probably time to consider a name change as your team won't be contesting the finals this year.

What a crap game of footy on Saturday. Apart for being close up to three quarter game, the game on a skill level was very poor.
I believe Wentworths lack of discipline cost them the game. They kept attacking the man and not the ball which I believe they didn't have to do. If you attack the ball against Mildura they will soon back out.
But well done to Mildura for making it this far, they are a chance against Robinvale but I believe have no chance against a more physical and mature side in Irymlpe.

I think badds would agree with me at saying it would of been close to wenty's worse performance for the year. There skill level and decision making was poor.
If Austin wasn't playing they would of lost by 100pts plus.

My opinion of the game beforehand? It went for way too long. I must admit I missed a fair part of it listening to the seniors team talk, and then spending the last half in the rooms with the boys before they went out.
I think the South reserves will go close as they will in the unders.

give mildura credit they were far to good for us on the day..... no excuses, i thought gonzo was bog 2 halftime, hosko played well in another big game as he seems to do a fair bit, austin gave cardew another touch up other than he and lipeteri we didnt have many winners....

Hi Nest, not sure if Tony has played any ressie games this year. Hopefully some of the Imps boys might enlighten us? There maybe some confusion between Tony and Peter, who played a very good game against south 2 weeks ago.
Should be a very close and interesting game this Saturday with both teams having several inclusions returning from injury or seniors.

Fred, did you hear who won the Sports Trivia this morning on StarFM??? None other than our very own Harry the Bad Man!!:thumbsu:
give mildura credit they were far to good for us on the day..... no excuses, i thought gonzo was bog 2 halftime, hosko played well in another big game as he seems to do a fair bit, austin gave cardew another touch up other than he and lipeteri we didnt have many winners....
i must say i think its a joke that the prelim will now be played at irymple as well shocking decision that....
Didnt actually mind playing at the Irymple on Sat....at last an oval that doesnt resemble a WACA wicket....

I agree. It should be played at number 1. If it's not fit to play finals on then it's not fit to play regular games on in my opinion.

Hi Nest, not sure if Tony has played any ressie games this year. Hopefully some of the Imps boys might enlighten us? There maybe some confusion between Tony and Peter, who played a very good game against south 2 weeks ago.

Wasn't aware that he was named on the team sheet, however I think the ruling is you must actually play on the ground at sometime during the game to qualify which he didn't.
Can anyone verfiy this rule?:confused:

tend to disagree badds. if the afl wont play games on number one oval then why should we be forced to play finals football on the ground?
have you had a look at number 1 lately? i had a look on monday and it really is pretty ordinary and will struggle to be in a good condition for the grand final.
dont forget that the last two - three years the prelim was played at sarah oval, which one out of irymple or sarah ovals would you rather play on?

I agree with you gaz. I would prefer to play the
PF at Irymple as No1 is battling a bit. It will take a miracle to get that ground up to scratch for the GF. For the team that wins the prelim having the game at Irymple means you dont have to play 2 in a row (PF & GF) at No1. I know players pull up worse after games at No1.

delray would be the man to answer that i thought you had to at least go onto the field.
remember a few years ago when the like of egale and price playing seniors and sitting on the bench for the under 18's they had to take the field to qualify. not sure if the rule has changed thoug?
i saw him standing next to the bus shelter on main north road, i wasnt sure what he was up to but i asked him if he had put that new super sale sign up out the front with the neon lights. Peter plays his 199th this Saturday in the second semi, hopefully he can go on and notch up his 200th in the Grand Final. I spoke to Kable, he said the Hamley Bridge Bombers have been killing them.

Tony can't play this week. You have to actually go through the interchange bench and be named on that sheet to qualify.
From all reports Chalkie, you are a centainty to win the B&F in the reserves next week. Don't expect to get too much of the ball this week as we have a surprise waiting for you:eek:

Arks should be a show to notch it up in the big one then. Good stuff.
Did you ever work out who the guy was that sent that picture of himself registered post via Buckingham Palace to you? I think it had something to do with the native marine life down at Sanctuary Cove.

Well I must say this comes as a surprise. What an honour, firstly i'd like to thank my team mates as without them this couldn't have happened and secondly my parents whom have sacrificed alot over the years. Mum, Dad, I hope this makes it all worth it.

I don't think it was Tony Hickey who was named on the team sheet. I might be wrong but I think it might have been Michael Hickey Junior just to make up the numbers. I'm pretty sure the League have said that a player must have gone through interchange but having said that, I can't find it mentioned in any of the rules. There are specific rules about under 18's playing in two games etc. but nothing I can find about having to be on the ground if you are named in the side.
PS. Can you imagine the sledging that would go on out on the ground with Gladstone's team of the year. Obviously Phillip Oppey would be the umpire.

Geez thanks for the guernsey, Gladstone......matter of fact looking at that team I reckon I'd be a dead set starter. I don't think some of those blokes named can play in more than 2 or 3 positions at once !!
So, forward pocket please, Rabbito for me.....if it's not too crowded there !

agree he is way to good for the mallee league but im not sure anyone in this league could afford him lets look at the clubs- wenty couldnt afford him, irymple could but wouldnt take him with eagle at full forward, he wouldnt go to the eagles,merbein not enough money, mildura wouldnt take him, south havent got any room with points.. imps a chance... maybe back to red cliffs.. sonny is a gun no doubting that..

31 Aug 2006, 00:26
I reckon there would still be a few barriers for Sonny to overcome at Red Cliffs. That would leave Imps . However South's points would drop for 2007 one for each player recruited this year.
Who would have been the big point players at South anyway . Gathers would have been a freebie.

Chalkie or Ibis can fix me up here but I think ...
Hamdorf, Riordan, Fitzgerald, O'Shannessy.
No others spring to mind ...
no i wasnt sure what happened there, but thanks for the leg-up.did you hear what eventuated with minkpop and mungming after what happened there last saturday night? Was that one for the heads out there, big footy people can you hear me clear? If you like it let me see your hands in the air, if you dont get the hell out of here.

You have obviously watched a bit of footy this year to come up with a team like mate.
Would be a very competitive side out the park i would have thought.
Narkerial as coach though is a bit of a concern, and how did badds get picked over borris becker when both played the same amount this year.

Hey Nakriel, I'll give you fifty cents for the jumper. Thats roughly what a roll of toilet paper costs these days:p
