was at yulong on saturday and saw bundoora beat convincingly diamond creek. I dont see why everyone is riding bundoora off this early in the season, they might have lost a few but from what i saw yesterday they will be able to give heidleberg a run for there money.
The beat Diamond creek by 14 goals.
Dale Piggot was looking like being influencial this year but pulled what looked like to be a hamstring in the last quarter so i dont think he will b back for 3-4 weeks.
Bundoora had Ayres, howse, MacIntosh, whitnall, mitchell's and Muleta out.
but Carmichael, bonadio, finlayson, and brown all played

Anyway thanks for the update... did you see the 2's? I did hear they are struggling for numbers
easy fig 9.
just putting down my opinion.
i dont play or barrack for epping. a mate plays there and said that epping had out king,hollow and carrick and that west were at full strength.
so just relax and look at the facts. you only just beat the 2nd last team from last year. so i dont think that west will make top 4. fair enough or not. no need to get personal.

We will know more about them after Saturday..
Fig9 has been talking them up all pre-season so I'll be interested to see how they go. I know they will be fit - as it is a big part of a Larko pre-season... but can they play???
Looking forward to round 1 results - and DV starting generally ...AFL is starting to sh ! t me.

No way West were nearly at full strength, If you watched the game at all, or had any idea you would know that 3 of our talls didn't play, Billy morrison, Scott Nugent and Mick O'niell. 3 key players, carelli only played just over a half, bakers first game back, i think you should just think before you make silly comments. Epping looked pretty unfit after halftime aswell.

Lets get some tips for round 1
Epping vs Eltham Eltham 16 points
Greensborough vs Diamond Creek Creek 20 points
Heidelberg vs Bundoora Heidelberg 4 points
Montmorency vs West Preston Monty 42 points
Northcote Park vs North Heidelberg N/P 22 points
And after having watched creek on satd'y I dont think the four will change. West would have to improve a fair bit to catch the rest.

Had a look at Plenty Cricket ground this morning, They have covered the practice wickets with artificial turf and were halfway through re-surfacing the car park and installing coaches boxes. The ground has a short grass cover but it is nice and soft. It will be small at 112 m by 153 but thats stil bigger than Monty at 103 x 144.

Got a case of Pantheritis ????
At least it will match our outs of Minney, Contessa, and two Richo brothers.
But that is ok, we got a couple of old fat blokes up from the twos to cover them. ;)

GYTM, I see on the clearances that Briggsy is returning to Lalor for the third time. Had heard recently he was having the season off and was even meant to be down at Lower with a few of the boys for a past players function this Saturday. What sort of condition is he in if he hasn't done a bit of pre-season?
Yeah mate, he has alot of life long friends down there and probably wants to be able to have a kick with them whenever he feels like it. I dont think its in Briggsys plans to play week in, week out. Im just glad he is back at the club, cant buy quality like that...
jim beam do you have something to do at epping because i dont know who you are.........................but you seem to think you know alot but you have no idea.
kingy was on a holiday because he didnt think epping were playing last weekend
brad hollows was rested
wriggs hurt his knee in the 1st quarter but played the whole game so should be right
santo was rested in the last quarter because he had missed the last 2 practice gamesand was stuffed and sore but will play saturday.
if those 4 play for epping and contessa,minney and richo brothers are out for eltham i think i might be tipping the blue boys

You're obviously from West Preston. Was just wondering if you knew how a bloke was going who injured himself in a game against us (Lower) 2 seasons back? I wasn't playing that day and helped carry him off on the stretcher, as he injured himself out on the wing near our bench. Was the worst injury I've seen on a footy field and his knee was just caved in. Think he was only a young fella.

His name is Ash Bardon, i'm pretty sure it was his femur that he broke. Having last year off, he assisted and help big chazza win the under 19's flag last year which was a huge effort still being an under 19 himself. He's back on track, and just completed a massive pre season. He's been killing them in the twos, and is pretty close to senior selection.

watsonia have recruited well and 10s is good odds and whittlesea play lower and watsonia first 2 rounds i think. if whittlesea win both they will firm if they lose they will blow out.

just seen you have been cleared to whittlesea.
what the hell is going on there?
This must be the most exciting week in DV for years.
How many clubs will by biting at the bit during this week.
The season has been a long time coming. It has allowed the oldies to recovery their body better than ever. And with the AFL on TV for a couple of weeks now, has stirred the youngies who cant wait to have a kick, crazy.
How's the feeling and vibe at your club?

Would love to get on Whittlesea now at 8s, will only improve as season goes on and will be shortening considerably during the year, the team to watch for sure.

Whittlesea were strong last year, but fell away towards the end of the season from memory. Is there any reason, or any particular signings for them this season that will make them a real challenger?

Can't wait for the season to start and it seems as though Thomastown can't wait either. They had about 50 blokes on the training track yesterday and Sinclair didn't hold back. Very gruelling session that included some boxing as well. The most interesting observation to come out of it was the fact that there must have been a sale somewhere on Hawthorn jumpers.
hey boys. new card rules this year.
yellow card off for fifteen minutes

Correct me if I am wrong Pig,
But the cards were first introduced into our league DVFL/NFL last season.
As for NFL, well as you pointed out it would be difficult to get branding done for club apparell etc so I would think that an amnesty of sorts would apply for this season.
Ironically, the old DV were never too stringent with Branding and I must say I was a little peeved that on any given day, teams had blokes running around in their teams with a mis mash of different shorts, whether they had DVFL /EFl /SFL/WRL /AFL and so on. I think it should be a local rule that either they are league branded (NFL - after this season of course) or are simply plain - no branding at all.
BTW, an article has been added to new website announcing the NFL name and yet strangely enough it is still the DVFL homepage and has old DV Branding all over it but new download forms (Coaches report / Intrechange stewards report) have NFL on them.
Name change or not, Im sticking to this thread... Not everyone agreed with the changing of the comps name.

Your mob are known tribunal lagers and general arse lickers to those who robbed from us for all those years. You should be the last one to throw the sook tag around. Get up with it mate...
kick ass youre right about the cards last year but it says "to coincide with other afl run leagues" and in other leagues for example if you get a red card you cant be replaced and have to go off for 15 mins if you get a yellow card but i think you can be replaced

if you got a yellow card you stayed on
and if you got a red card you could be replaced.

Thanks Mate, Your points are taken.
Last year there was a change in the issuing of cards, and Yes Yellow was a caution - red was a report, and off for the remainder of game but a replacement was allowed.
My only issue with this, and it has always been the case in the old DVFL, is that it meant that a player was off immmediately for the rest of the game, and even though they were able to be replaced, it meant that a player was in some cases proved guilty before being given the chance to prove themselves innocent.
In some instances , a trivial report of a player in say the first 5 minutes of a game, saw him effectively miss a week before his case had been heard. It was a harsh enough penalty in anycase, but 1 that everyone had to accept whether there case was proven or otherwise.
Perhaps, and this is only a suggestion, if they are to adapt the red card rule that a player is only sidelined for only 15 mins, maybe they should look at a 3rd card being introduced for more serious offences and treated that same way that a DVFL report always has??

I may be wrong but isnt bakes playing at Broadford
Yeah baker is back at West. he was always going to play, no matter what the romours said. He just couldn't get to training or the pracies.
I hate seeing a Reservoir or Fawkner Park disappear. Do we wait till more clubs fold, before we look into this situation?
Fawkner Park is already planning for 2008. The Club hasn't disappeared, recess does not equal folding.

He's doing time in a prison farm out Flowerdale way. The screws wouldn't drive any further than Kinglake but Mase talked them into dropping him at the bottom of the hill - Whittlesea. ;)
Good Luck Mate.

Fair enough!
From what i've heard you'll be playing against the pingers next year in divvy 2 anyway.. decisions! decisions! Good luck
can anyone confirm or deny the rumour that heidelberg have picked up the living legend Bruce Doull? Heard he is getting $800 a game and unlimited headbands!

I guarantee alot more than you... Any of those flags you mentioned got Division 1 on them fatboy??? Post WW2 would be handy....
I wouldnt be bragging about having div 1 on a medal if it says "b" grade!

Eltham College D4 ammo's smashed Mernda less than 2 weeks ago, all B grade teams would smash any div 2 club and most B grade teams would give the some (not all) div 1 clubs a hiding...

Lots and lots of talk about West being good this year.
Looking forward to seeing them on the park tomorrow, if they have improved as much as people are saying... it will be a cracking game.
Interesting stat I heard down the club last night:
In Mont's last 45 homes games (since end of 2001) - they have only lost five:
Epping 2002
Heidelberg 2004, 2005
Lalor 2005 &
Bundoora 2006
West have not beaten Mont there in a very long time, Larko knows Mont's record on the "stamp" better than anyone; and I know he is very keen to spoil that record.
*Note to Fig9 and the other Roosters: yes I know you beat Mont on an important day in September in 2003 :(

It's a futile argument Portman- that will never be settled.. always dominated by opinion, mostly ill-informed.
Bias always plays a huge part - blokes from Ammos say they would smash suburb teams from DV & vice versa.
Comparing DIV 1 and B garde ammo ... two different styles and completely different conditions, so its too hard to say with authority who would beat who
One thing that is undeniably true about DV or now the "NFL" is that: it has it ALL over B grade Ammos in terms of crowd size and atmosphere, so, consequently enjoyment to watch.
Oh and you can drink beer while watching :thumbsu:
End of argument.

Watched Parkside train last night. It was only a brief session but very solid. Focus was on skills predominantly and it was a very sharp hitout. Many of the onlookers were talking up their hopes against Thomastown this week. General feeling around the place is that they like their chances.

J&B really looking forward to tomorrow.. The place is a buzz, and the boys are ready.... What better then a huge challenge first up!
Good Luck!
Go Roosters:thumbsu:
Well I'm sure everyone is pumped for the 1st game of the season, I can't wait:thumbsu:!! Good luck to all, except if your playing the Watsy Saints!! Here are my tips for both divvies:
Div 1:
Epping V Eltham : Eltham
Greensborough V Diamond Creek: The Creekers with big Braddy Phelan to Star!!
Heidelberg V Bundoora: Heidelberg by a country mile. Would be great to watch Cory Mckernan out there!
Montmerancy V West Preston: Monty
Northcote Park V North Heidelberg: Northcote Park
Div 2:
Hursty V panton Hill: Hursty
Kinglake V Heidelberg West: Battle of the Wooden Spoon. Would have to go Kinglake to win.
Lower Plenty V Whittlesea: Lower Plenty, Havent heard much about Whittlesea except for mase.
South Morang V Mernda: South Morang, if there not all injured:eek:
Parkside V Thomastown: Thomastown by a country mile.
Wallan V Lalor: Lalor (welcome back to divvy 2, first game back and you have to travel all the way up the bloody Hume)
Watsonia V Macleod: Would love to say Watsy, but I have to be honest and tip Macleod with them and Thomastown as favourites for the flag. But if we cause an upset be sure that I will of course let you all know right here on bigfooty.:thumbsu:
peace out.
:thumbsu: :thumbsu: :thumbsu: urple, thanks for the last bit appreciate but just a quick tip,
to get from mernda(where i live) to whittlesea you dont have to go through epping.

Just a tip for you to mase. If you are at work, you have to travel pass Epping to get to Whittlesea. I never mentioned in my post about where you live. I think you may need a melways. Plus last time I looked Mernda is in bewteen Whittlesea and Epping, both fairly easy to get to. So dont say where you live is the reason, because if that was your sole reason on leaving Epping, Im sure you would head to Mernda with all of the other ex Epping boys.

Great to see the Wallan clubrooms packed to the raftors last night after training with players, sponsors and supporters all sticking around. Hopefully its like that every Thursday night not just when we hand out free steak and chips for everyone.
After a tough pre season with players leaveing, meetings to see if the club would fold and struggling to get a committee together finally in 24 hours the real stuff begins. I'M EXCITED.
P.S. The league could have gone easy on us regarding to the fixture.
Good to hear Wallan still going alright Iceman, we have had enough teams fold for the season hope there isn't anymore.
Gottah agree with you on the fixture, we have a tough trot but yours looks even worse. Good luck!!

I'll be very surprised if Heildleberg West last the season from the reports I am getting.
