did ok. He certainly held his own. The bloke is a very good player imo!
Can someone let me know if Corey Bannister is playing this weekend for Therry after doing a hammy? If not who will fill his spot, didn't a guy kick 11 in the ressies a few weekes back?
I Love Sandra Sully
14 Jun 2006, 10:14
if you did your Hammy ox would you be playing??? come on buddy have a think about it.
My winners this week will be:
OC
Rupo
OM
Therry
St Leos
Thank you.... come again.

Can someone tell me how O'connor is looking???? Will he play this week against Banyule???? and where will he play??
I saw O'Connor play a few weeks back in the twos and must have racked up 40 touches, think he will struggle with a bad ankle injury though. Therry would have been happy to see the return of the big fella?

Skicko #20 - Big, big unit
#19 - Great hands and leap, played across half back
Tsingaris - up from 19s last year, won that secs goal kicking, looking trim and fit, can play a bit. Thats all I can remember.
goodwin will be a massive boost for Therry, good player.
Big games this week, won't join in the tipping but I do think they will finally get a win over the 'Yulers.

Big week in D1,
Massive game out in Bulleen, GF rematches are always good to watch no matter who is playing.
My tips:
BT in a thriller over OC
OG over Rupo
OM to beat YV
Therry to smash Banyule
and St Leos to draw with Prahran!!
Good luck to all involved, get down to Ted Ajani if you have nothing else on and watch a fantastic game. Parton and chivers going head to head will be worth the trip!:thumbsu:
Bullant out
How was the fitness???
Looked like O'Connor made it through the first half easily and then was limping favouring his left ankle.........is there another injury at therry we should know about. Will O'Connor play this week or sit on the sideline with Bannister and Goodwin. Why would O'Connor be playing ones anyway, played 2's last game?:confused:

Cowboys tips for round 8:
Old Carey and BT to be close till 3qtr time, then BT to run away by 4 goals in the last.
Therry over Banyule comfortably
OG and Rupo, too close, a draw or OG just
Yarra over OMs just
And St Leos to beat Prahran after knocking off the ladder leaders last week.
Will be interesting to see how Therry goes if it is close against Banyule, I reckon they'll still get over but losing close games constantly does take it out of you. They should be too good though.

ILSS, firstly thanks for acknowledging the my missus is hot and could get a job at the mens gallary, what I would like to know is why are you going to the mens gallery, wouldn't you be more suited to The Peel in Collingwood or is that your dad paying what ever it costs to try and get you to get out of your gay ways.........easiest way to do that would be for you just to switch clubs.

Rupo V OG's
YV V OM's
Banyule V Therry
BT V OC
Prahran V Emmaus
I am not confident about any of my picks, and i expect some cracking matches this week!
If BT can hold out OC and be within 3 goals at 3/4 time, i'd expect them to come out on top. Although i have not seen OC's at all this year. Should be an awesome game to watch with all players (bar dolly and chivers) fresh and raring to go!
Good luck to all teams and have an injury free saturday!!

Look Phar Lap i know you hold a grudge against us boys down at rupo..... but it's not our fault your Mum decided to come on our end of season trip last year....it was soley her choice....Can't you just accept that she was just trying to be nice and offer to be our back up bend incase any of the lads didn't pull one while out on the town...I can assure you we all took real good care of her.
Thanks again Mrs Lap.... you were fabulous. :thumbsu:

ILSS, the fact that you do bring up mum jokes shows of your intelligence. You are prob still a virgin and jack off to Home and Away. Nether the less I would rather have a mum who is a whore than two dads like you. How is the gay marriage coming along....................
Anyway time to talk footy before this forum gets closed down, least Therry will be able to join the C Grade one next year!
OC37, Can you please explain further on a rumour I heard that there is a split down at the club since Dolly has been captain, certain players haven't been performing as they usually would?
Phar Lap,
No such issue exists. I can confirm that, as I am an OC player. Your sources are clearly wrong, or you are just being scurrilous!
Dolly is a fine leader of men and tremendous example on the paddock - why would there be any issues?
Big Red,
Re that earlier call on OC and Parton issues. Not sure what you are alluding to here?? Please explain.
I can tell you that Dolly has been Captain for about 3 years, and everyone at the club just loves the bloke. Best thing that happened to OC was him coming to play for his old school after a premiership winning stint with the Old Xavs. I know some key people down at the club add he is just adored by supporters, coaches and team mates.
I think someone may have just thrown you a silly one to put you back on your hind legs.
Keep the tips coming in lads. Otherwise it is away teams for all of you!

Phar Lap your clearly living in denile if you think Therry are going to go up next year.... for a start they have to win 8 out of the last 11 to even make finals. Top four this year in no particular order will be:
Rupo
OC
Ogs
BT
And you can take that to the bank..... Therry are very very average this year and i can't see them going back up to C grade for at least a couple of seasons.
Here's my tips, for what it's worth. Interesting to see everyone tipping the Ants over us, should be a cracker nonetheless!

YV V OM's
Banyule V Therry

Tend to agree with the sexy newslady here. There will be some upsets on the way home, but i just can't see any of the top 4 teams finishing any worse than 12-6. I think Therry, even with a late surge, will fall well short and regret those early season close losses.
OldMelburnian28
14 Jun 2006, 17:08
For once i have to agree ILSS. Therry, although i rated them as a big chance a few weeks ago have diminished any credibility i had for picking a competitive side. Seems this comp is just too tough and too fast for them (well the top half anyway). Phar Lap reading your posts it seems your doubting ILSS's intelligence, yet your still boasting about your therry boys in C division next year, have you ever heard that one about the pot calling the kettle black? So from now on just concentrate on avoiding relegation ok.
Tipping this round has caused me headaches, and ill be happy to come out with 2/5.
Rupo over OG's...just! Another grandfinal rematch.
OM's over YV
Therry to finally get another win on the board ;)
BT vs OC, really cant split em. Toss a coin and say OC
Emmaus over Pharan
Here's my tips, for what it's worth. Interesting to see everyone tipping the Ants over us, should be a cracker nonetheless!
Rupo V OG's
YV V OM's
Banyule V Therry
BT V OC
Prahran V Emmaus
Hansie, i think the home ground advantage is playing a big part in peoples tipping here. I have gone for the bullants as they play well at home, have a solid following, and love beating the OC. If the game was at Carey, i would go for the OC, as i think they play the main oval at Bulleen particularly well.
As Ugly, Bullant and yourself point out, this will be a ripper. A win to the OC will put them 2 games and % above BT, which is a great buffer at around the halfway point. If this occurs, then BT will probably be struggling to finish top 2.
But DG thinks that the Ants will be fired up, as they realise this and do not want to fall behind there great rivals.
BT by not many!

If anyone wants to offer odds for Therry making the 4 I would be happy to put my money where my mouth is and back them! They are clearly one of the top 2 sides in D1 and all that has happened is a few results and decisions have gone against them in the last 5 mins of a game. True you have to win these games but I can see no reason why they couldn't win all remaining games bar 1. Before ILSS gets on the band wagon I actually follow another club in D1 but spend a lot of time watching other clubs play as part of my role!!

I disagree, but respect your opinion.
My spies tell me that they were comprehensively outplayed by Rupo everywhere but on the scoreboard.
From the result against the OC, they must have also been clearly beaten on that day.
Therefore i can't see how a team who is 3-4, is clearly better than either one of these two 6-1 teams.
Which won is it??

DG Man,
I was at the Rupo game and can tell you that Therry played terrible football and still should of won the Game. I free kick reversed in the goal sqaure and a missed shot from the goal square. From what i seen DG, Rupo may be found out in the next part of the year, when team's play a more physical game to cut there run down.

Big Red,Ox, no idea why you hate Rupo! We are similar to Therry in many ways. Family club, young players, this side of the Yarra. Many people migrated to Sunbury from Broady, Glenroy etc.
Personally i have a great respect for Therry, having tipped them each round so far only to be let down. Continue to enjoy your banter with ILSS. It's a bit of fun. How has Harmes"s form been this year, played exceptional in practice match, not so in real game. i don't think theres much between alot of sides, injuries, commitment and effort will be the difference. We are vulnerable, but it won't matter how other sides perform as much as how we commit and play. Our game against Carey was as good as you would see, our best is very good. To suggest we dont cope with the physicality is laughable. Therry to me has only shown potential. Potentially they can beat anyone, however what's a cup of coffe and potential worth? Only the cup of coffee (50 cents). Get the score on the board first and then we'll listen.

Tips
Rupo by 3pts over OG. ( we know this is a huge game) never beaten them!
OM by 19pts over YV ( Still reckon YV can play!)
Therry by 27pts over Banyule
Old C by 19pts over BT. ( BT is still a mystery to me Ugly)
Emmaus by 37pts over Prahran.
If Therry lose this week i will never tip them again. DG please make a note!!!!

Ugly, best post for a long time.
Massive week for most clubs, top four again play each other, one and two maybe can pinch a break on three and four heading into the second half of the season,
Therry V bears game will be a ripper, The bears just - 8 points, therry laughable that it has been said will still go to " C " GRADE NEXT YEAR, couldn't win the close games with bannister there, wont start winning without him.
I was informed last night the Goodie will not be back this year, the therry boys were sat down on a thursday night three / four weeks ago and told off this as he was sick of everyone asking when and if he will be back this year, nasty injury the poor bloke, ripped his peck mussle of the bone ? dosen't sound nice.
Rupo will turn the tables on OGS - 14oints
Form would suggest OM should win, they have been fantastic and need to keep winning to say around the hunt for that fourth possie - 25points
St.Leos to show that the win agaist rupo wasn't a fluke and should go on with it - 19points
and the game of the round should be a cracker, point was made grand final rematches are always good to see, we have two this weekend, BT and OC will both still have some players running around from two years ago and both need this win, for me the home ground advantage will be enough to get BT over the line - 13points.
Good luck to all clubs, players, hope everyone comes out injury free.

If he's back Knackers29, it will bring back memory's of Plugger in full flight. To say O'connor is carrying a bit of weight would be an understatement. He may struggle to keep up with D1. Has anybody noticed that Wallan has gone on leaps and bonds since his departure.

Yarra Valley seem to get into melees every second week.
Costing the club a lot of $$$.
Any last minute in and outs for any teams.
Surely this is the week that prahran break through, if not they can be guaranteed relegation if they are not already. Bevans comeback this week may help.
Jogger White not playing this week will be a big help for my ants, who are slowly coming back to full strength with touriganis returning after 7 weeks out with broken hand.
Bullant,
No White, Howgate still 1 week to serve, Kent out for the year (had op a week back)
Possibly 3 of the OC's best half a dozen players. I think BT may be a little strong!
bullant10
15 Jun 2006, 18:04
don't know much about howgate, but know the other two very well! Two very good players, but carey have great depth so should be able to cover them. Going to be a belter, you heading down DG?
Howgate is a big lad who made the state squad with Collins and Parton. My spies say he is very very good. But you are correct, the OC has good depth and will still have a very solid team.
I have decided to head to the OGS v Rupo game this week. I live close to Como, so might just take a lazy stroll down there. I am looking forward to this game. I am going to take a very keen interest, isolate myself on the hill with a hotdog, can of solo, pen, paper and amatuer record. I think the OGS may win, but i am looking forward to seeing a little bit more of the Rupo boys. There bizarre results over the last 2 rounds (whipping the OC and then losing to Leos) have me wondering where thay are at.
Keep the tips coming in....big week in D-Grade footy!

Tips for Mine:
BT over OC - running out games
OG over Rupo - to strong in the wet
TP over Banyule - more depth
OM over YV - Sandringham midfielders

Well have a good weekend lads.... and all i can say is.......
GOD HELP OLD GEELONG!! because i plan on tearing them a new a55hole tomorrow.
"I Love Sandra Sully" the BEST name on BigFooty!... in fact im starting a thread!
Was at the bulleen temp v carey game. Great win by the bullants, to good for carey all over the ground. They will only improve with a couple players to still come back over next few weeks. Carey didnt impress me greatly however im sure they will bounce back.
Very interesting with top for all 6-2!

MJS2. - Ugly saw the same game. BT are building again it seems- some new faces from nowhere!
I think it will be another quiet week from the Rupo boys....
How good OG? Or how bad Rupo? Love to know?

Great result for Bt Ugly. You know i dont think i've tipped them yet, so perhaps i should next week!!! Today Old Geelong were awesome. Our best is better than it was today, however you cannot for one minute take anything away from the performance of OG. Most impressive display we have encountered this year. The Therry boys and others may slightly feel vindicated by there comments about where Rupo is at, but i feel we will bounce back, it is a great test of our character and belief. This group is used to winning and know how to win. Smacka(coach) mentioned top sides dont lose two in a row, we have, so we have to get back on the track and work harder. Interesting Therry meets Yarra Valley next week which possibly promises to be a season defining match for both teams. Seen them both and to me would be a toss of the coin. The beers were only tasting OK tonight in spite of the OG after match fashion show!!!
Yarra Valley led Old Mentonians all day and despite some ordinary kicking for goal, managed to hang on for another close victory. Simon Yeo got best on for Yarra and Justin Costello was easily best for Old Mentonians in my opinion. Keem didn't kick a goal, but I'm sure we'll hear about him in the record again next week as apparently he is the only Yarra player that 'The Qwill' has heard of! The usual Beal/Basile matchup didn't eventuate with both players out and Old Mentonians had alot of familiar faces running around in their scooby doos. The win gives Yarra three on the trot now and it is definitely a massive game away to Therry the winner will move within a game of the top four, with Rupertswood playing Bulleen-Templestowe next week.

Rupertswood posters have been seen on other threads bagging other local clubs, trying to make themselves look good, now the other club is winning and beating good sides rupo have now lost 2 in a row. they should start worrying about themselves and obviously start concentrating on their football they are a good successful football club.
How do other clubs rate rupo are they arrogant, cocky, etc
They didn't seem too bad when we played against them. I wasn't playing on the day, but it was a game we felt we were in a strong position to win at 1/2 time and 3/4 time and we were very disappointed to lose (we've had a few very disappointing losses come to think of it!). Rupertswood looked very young and quick, they are good at capitalising on oppositon mistakes and efficient in front of goals. I think they've had a pretty good run with home games (their road trips have been against the lower teams on the ladder and the shorter trips for them like Therry and Banyule), so it will be interesting to see how they travel in the second half.
It's easy to fall into the trap of judging an entire club on the basis of one or two guys who post on the forum, but I thought Rupertswood were good hosts and the game was played in great spirit.

right you are, it only takes a small minority to ruin something for a majority. Rumours are always started by 1 person, then they spread. Any other thoughts on rupo? What is the crowd behavior like when they are down?

The OM man made the journey down to como park to watch what i had hoped to be a close, competitive encounter. Sadly, what i was to see would be in contrast to my entire prediction.
The OG's were simply too good on the day. They ran hard, hit hard, ran through lines and kept up the yap all day. The 1% contribution was outstanding by the entire side. Rupo on the other hand looked flat and a bit shell shocked. After copping a decent spray off their coach at half time the boys from sunbury came out and fought hard in the 2nd half but to no avail. Old Geelong had the momentum and confidence was sky high, late goals by the OG's increased the scoreline out to a big loss.
On another note Old Geelong seem to play como park down to a T. They just know where to run and how to use the space efficiently. Have they been beaten there in the last 2 years?

Nice post old melburnian, if you were there you would have noticed the og's glamourous south yarra girls who come down for the game. Shocking game for Rupertswood down at Como, eyes were on the females i think. Geelong had them towelled up all day. Brilliant contest between Vickers willis and brennan all day. Rupertswood lacked pace all day, but did show glimpses of what they are capable of and should come good on the run home. Any news on the new recruits down at the bullants this week?

We have fun down at rupo and a bit of banter between 2 sides is healthy (even if they arent in the same comp), something to write about instead of being serious all the time about football, who really cares about all the talk? All players and supporters are welcoming to other clubs.

No need for me to start on Rupo, but I must say I always do enjoy reading Sundays paper a little more when I see Rupo being given a flogging. Was at Therry -V- Banyule game yesterday and was a great hard tassle. Banyule play there ground perfectly, Therry were just to big and strong towards the end. They still have a few players to come back in. They were always going to be hard to beat on the day with Castaldi playing his 300th Senior Game............great effort, I am hoping to notch up double figures myself soon...........

Would like to hear about other games guys.
Ugly Dermie/DG man any news or reports?
Breaking News - DG scores 5/5 and races to the the lead in the tipping comp. If form continues, he will not have to take wallet on GF day as post game beers will be shouted for him. (This is assuming all D-Grade Forum boys wear name-tags revealing there true self) Or perhaps ILSS can come dressed in a blond wig and high heels and hook me a couple of brewskies!

Very Interesting weeks matches. DG went to Como and saw the OGS at full throttle. They will not lose at home this year. They are a very good side. They play the ground beautifully. Very disappointed with Rupo. They will have to face up to the rampaging bullants next week in a MUST WIN GAME. 3 losses in a row may just be enough to kill off there season.
D Grade pulls out so many weird results. Rupo whip OC, OC beat OGS, OGS whip Rupo and BT touch up the OC. All in 3 weeks!!!!
Next weeks games also look to be rippers. Rupo vs BT is the pick of the bunch. Can Rupo stop the slide back on home turf. Both losses have been away, and good teams don't lose on their home ground.
A win by the Bullants in Sunbury next week would be huge for the Ants. It would not only kill off a rival, but it may just place them in the top 2, and from there they would be very hard to move. Reports suggest that the BT have some handy new players and may be very strong come September.
Keep the posts coming!
I think you'll find I am 8.

BT pretty much out played OC for most of the game. Interesting to see Carey have a lot of new faces - Seemed to have turned over a heap of players from 2 years ago where BT still wheel out the old heads. Phil Hare continued his great form at Full Back and held Parton to 1 goal (which was from a down field) and Williams did the job again for BT at CHF.

Sorry Midas, you were 4/5 this week. And are on 8. I had you down for 2/5 as i stuck down SSBobs 2/5 agsainst you. Well spotted. DG-Man needs to concentrate harder and watch less soccer. A little snoozy this morning.

BT v OC
BT were too hard at it for carey! Every contested ball went the way of the ants and that is what will help them get over the line against rupo this week. BT travel extremely well and have not lost an away game yet. Very tight knit bunch of blokes who play for each other. Carey are to reliant on to few, parton, collins (doesn't man up), angus, tirris. They do have a couple out which im sure will help. They will still finish in the top 2-3 because the players they do rely on are classy and match winners. The top four wont change, only the order in which they finish.
Not much being said about prahran! Relegation for sure, terrible result for a team that finished third last year.
Premiership is up for the taking!

No. 65 (I think) for OC does not like the push and shove from opposition. Saw him kick chivers after a bit of a tussel, very lucky both umpires missed it.
Good win by the Ants, we certainly played well below our best, however take nothing away from a fired Bulleen-Temp. Thouroughly deserved their win. Definitely their guns - Wise, Matthews, Chivers all fired, and while Dolly worked his ring off it wasn't enough to get us over the line.
IMHO the 4 won't change - maybe just positions. OGS, Rupo and BT the best I've seen this year so far other than us.
Ugly/Bullant10 - I trust it is safe to assume by your sensible comments here that neither of you blokes were the 2 guys Kanga felt a need to have words to after the match? Guys like that clubs do not need!
Was there a major reaction from Chivers / BT to this kick?? Never good to see this type of activity on the footy field.
Any news from the OC camp re the game? Moss, OC, Hansie??? On paper it looks a little disappointing!!
An insider has told me that the OC will be welcoming back between 8-10 of their better players in coming weeks. Are these guys match fit? Have they been playing ressies, or are they coming back from injury / OS etc.?

Definately not, first i have heard of it actually. I spoke to kanga after the game and he didn't metion it. Was it a player or spectator??
Disappointing to hear that kind of stuff though.
Approaching the half way mark any early ideas for team of the year. This should get some heads thinking.

I find it hard to believe the OC can bring back 8-10 of their better players. But if so, would this boost them upto flag favourites again?
OG's, surely these guys have to be recognised as the potential powerhouse of D1. Reports from the weekend's game has informed me that it was their best footy for the year. (And no i dont think they have been beaten at como in a long time).
Bullants, we were told they were only going to improve and maybe OC's should've listened.
Rupo, well i just dont know what to say. 6-0 looking very comfortable, then dropping 2 games both by big margins.
Huge game this week up in sunbury, tempted to watch as other matches appear to have a 1 sided outcome.

Yeah, every game has a few ordinary people supporting it. A one off like this should never be taken as a norm for what happens at a certain club. From earlier postings, it seems that BT and the OC have a fierce, but respectful rivalry. They jumped a grade together, and now are fighting it out to go up another grade. I was at Rupo earlier in the year and there were 3-4 blokes standing 10 metres LHS of the scoreboard in the pocket who thought it was funny to spend 120 minutes hurling out disgusting abuse. They even had kids, and i looked up at them and shook my head in dismay. I was tempted to say something about their language in front of their own kids, but thought i better not risk it. Certainly didn't make me think less of Rupo as a club, as i am sure they cringe every 2nd week at these fools.

OG will either end up the fittest in the competition or run out of legs by the end of the year if they keep the same timekeeper. The game finished at 4:56, the second quarter went for 40mins, the whole game duration was around 140mins with the shortest quarter 32mins. We had a timekeeper, one of our injured guns, however i think the OG guy controlled the deal. OG kicked 6 goals in the last 10 minutes to make it a real drubbing. DG, we were disappointing however you have seen both sides of Rupo, can be very good and not so good. We certainly dont have the bodies of many of the clubs, and it will be interesting to see how there young bodies hold up. Og had the whole package, no doubt, but last year we became more and more competitive as the year rolled on against them. It's very disappointing to hear the crowd behaviour as DG described at Rupo against OC, definitely would be considered unacceptable.

Solid post!
I tend to agree with you a little on OC outs. I have only heard 2nd hand this info, and believe that if players come back in second half of the season, who's to say they will have the touch and fitness to make the senior side. I don't really know many names, have just heard that there are a heap coming in. We will wait and see.
OGS are on fire. As i said earlier, they will not lose at home, and i think with their amazing depth (Ressies are undefeated with a cricket score %) they have the side and the back up to go all the way. They have beaten Rupo easily, comfortably beat BT (but it was rd 1, and BT have improved) and only just lost to the OC away. They have every right to be claimed favouries with 1's and 2's on top of the ladder! Go OGS!
BT are looking great. I don't think the OC didn't listen. They have been beaten by BT on a few important occasions recently and could not possibly have gone in against them AWAY, giving them anything but total respect.
Rupo, this week is crunch time. We will know more about them after the big game with BT.
I might put in my tips early. As leader, it may help you chasing guys out a little:cool:
Leos at home against the OGS. Looking for 3 in a row. Trying to build momentum and avoid relegation. OGS would not want to take this lightly. Certaqinly not as 1 sided as ladder positions would have you think!!
OGS by 16 points
OC welcome the Bears to Bulleen. Banyule not without a chance. I think if the conditions are wet and heavy, this may be closer than some think. But on the Main at Bulleen, which the OC play well, OC by 30pts.
Therry vs YV. One of these early strugglers will be 5-4 at ttghe half way mark and ready to pounce on any faltering leaders. Am yet to see anything from YV away from there own patch for the better sides to worry about. Until they can perform away, i won't be tipping them. Therry by 50pts
OM's vs Prahran. This could get ugly at Keysborough. OM's by 75pts.
And in the big one, the desperate Rupo angainst the impressive Ants. While BT's form away has been outstanding, so too are Rupo undefeated on there patch. Someone will have to lose there 100% strike rate this week. In what should be a ripper, i just can't see ILSS being pantsed 3 weeks in a row!!! Rupo by 18 points
Looking forward to another 5/5!
Definately not, first i have heard of it actually. I spoke to kanga after the game and he didn't metion it. Was it a player or spectator??
Disappointing to hear that kind of stuff though.
Approaching the half way mark any early ideas for team of the year. This should get some heads thinking.
Parton, chivers, are a must!:thumbsu:
Ant, it was 2 spectators standing right near the players' gates. One guy was fairly large with a beanie and a big Liverpool anorak on, and his mate in a Lonsdale tracky. I played in the 2's and didn't recognise them as having played in the early game. Kanga wasn't threatening or anything, I think he might have just been making a few polite points.
As for fallout from the game, I notice that we hadn't posted any best players on the VAFA site earlier today, that could say something! Will be an interesting night on the track tomorrow to say the least - may have more then.
As for players to come back, we do have a few. Tommy Howgate, Jogga White, Pete Busse the mainstays plus a few others that I'd rather keep to myself ATM...you guys will find out about 'em soon enough!
Team of the year? Dolly for sure, and I'd put up Steve Collo and maybe Laurence Basell as possible Carey inclusions. Busse has been handy down back when fit, and Tommy Howgate was a solid contributor before he got suspended...
Cheers lads,

I'll throw a few names in:
Chivers, Williams, Burridge - BT
O'Brien, Casboult, Bayles, McCarthy - OGS
Parton, Zander, S.Collins - OC
Tsingaris, Demetriou - Bears
A. Palmer, Twentymen - OM's
Drew, Britt - YV
Who have been Rupo's best. Leos and Prahran had any good players in disappointing seasons?
Any Therry names spring to mind??
