u19 section 1

[footy_nerd]

just wondering what everyones thoughts are on rupertswood

they are newcomers to the vafa and their rise to the top ranks of u19 football has been extremely quick, what do other teams think about this i'm sure the pretty boys from st kevins and the like wouldn't be to happy with having to play hard tough in under football with the sunbury ferals.

[St.Kev's Cowboy]

That'd be right. Just because you're obviously from Rupo you think you're boys are hard nuts. We'll just wait and see. Keep in mind that we Kev's have been in section one a fair while. The Rupo team only just entered. I'm sure they'll hold their own though, have heard good things on the D1 thread. If you know Rupo, who are the players to watch? Also what is Banyule like as well?

[johnfromtheVAFA]

As a big VAFA man myself i have no one team i am aligned with but used to play for the Xavs, so still barrack for ny boys and i think they will be a big threat to rupo who llok a little small. But well see how they go, they have done some impressive work in the seniors moving uop all those grades. And i hear great things of a beau lovett what can you tell me?

[St.Kev's Cowboy]

Well John, we got down to Rupertswood early on Saturday and saw the last 3 quarters of the under 19 red match that Rupo were in and I have to say i was very impressed. Especially with the bloke you spoke about, Beau Lovett. He had a Lloyd like ability to mark and kick with deadly accuracy. Will definately break into the section 1 side soon. Could take the spot of someone like Spinner, Bradley, Smith or Allport. Slot him at Full forward and watch the records be broken!

[johnfromtheVAFA]

really ike the reports on that kid, and the ones on rupo. Are you from ST Kevins, a washed up hack trying to relive your haydays or do you have a duty at the club as i am interested in them and how they reacted to the thumping the lumberjacks from the woods gave them.

[footy_nerd]

i to got down to the game on saturday, after a disappointing last quarter fad out last week rupo looked stronger and appeared a lot harder at the ball than their st kevins counterparts, whilst i haven't seen all teams play, rupo seem to be improving each week and they just need to get the processes right before they become a major force.

Beau Lovett, yes an interesting topic, i got down early last week to watch the red section game, and with a few key rupo linkman out they still looked to move the ball really well, and Lovett up forward was a real focal point, Kicked 3or 4, gave of at least another 3 had over 20 touches, and took some 15 marks, wouldn't be long before he is moved up into the ones. I also noted his ability to chase and just make a contest even when out numbered, i hear the cannons are looking at him, so he may not be down at rupo for much longer.

the suprise result of the round would have to be the absoulte flogging of banyule, they didn't score a single point, very disappointing, obviously something needs to be down about this, maybe a mid season relagation, the vafa is trying to promote an exceptional standard of football, but with results like that the competition is belittled and if it continues the comp is in serious danger of lossing the respect it has fought hard to develop.

Old Xavs and De la Salle look to be the form sides of the competition

[johnfromtheVAFA]

Footy nerd, your comments of a mid year relegation is disgraceful. Though i agree on the insippid performance of banyule, they have only played 3 games and have yet to play rupo, who are really looking forward to a little pay back for what they dished up in the sec2 grand final last year should be an interresting game in round 8 i think. Agree on your ocmments of lovett too real force at rupo. And the Xavs will have the wood over de la they have just begun to work for each other and look in fine form.

[OldMelburnian28]

Footy Nerd you have hit the hammer on the head! I have now watched 2 rupo under 19 red games and beau lovett has definently stood out. Has great ability for a young kid and will develop into a quality VAFA footballer. As for the records 'St Kevs Cowboy'...consider them broken.

[johnfromtheVAFA]

Old melbournian, its a fair distance for you to travel downto rupo to play, i wonder why you would be watching a section red side while the melbournians are still in sec 2.

[OldMelburnian28]

Maybe i am an ex OldMelburnian player living in Sunbury? did you ever think of that? I do take interest in other in a variety of football clubs you know, and these kids can play. Why would you be so critical of me johnfromthevafa? Is my input unnecessary?

[Supa Frank]

I am from OMs, what is the Physio's name to prove it then?

[johnfromtheVAFA]

i do appreciate the comments you post old melbournian, i was just interested in why a melbournians footballer would take such an interest in a rupo game? and why when they have a sec one side would you even bother to get out of bed on a sold winters day to cast your eyes on the section red side?

[big_bad_bustling_bazza]

As a seasoned campaigner for the woodsmen, i would just like to say that the hype is justified with a new look side and no huge loses from last year the boys are ready and raring to tear through the private school softys that seem to b plentiful in the under 19 section 1 comp!
with pressure from the reds from the likes of lovett, braddy and a huge performance on the weekend by timmy o'keafe the side is really starting to firm up!
they lacked in a pre-season due to their pitfull senior counterparts stranded in D1 however their natural skill and ability combined with match fitness is starting to shine through.
expect the ruppy boys to b strong contenders come the seasons end!
i would also like to comment on the poor form of quigley so far this year, perhaps a relagation to the reds for a few weeks will put the fire back in his belly and inspire a form turn around.

[digger9]

well supa frank, im a bernards boy and dominating in the 2s at the moment, have just recently come back from injury and pushing selection this week. i was also an ex melburnians boy, the physio back in my day was ivanna humpalot. is she still there? i hear she is close to yourself? she was fine and dandy a few years ago coming straight from those little hostels by the side of the ground.
bernards will dominate all your terrible teams in section 1, i cant wait to see how that rupo side comes up against the bernards. although i have heard lovett is an outstanding prospect - leads by example, talks the talk and walks the walk literally walks the walk. it seems though all those rupertswood people in here are forgetting how you actually got to section 1. It was the likes of fellow bernards boy Callan Potter, Brad Constantine and from what i remember someone by the name of James House who got elevated to the 2s from the 19s. I know this as I am very close with Ben Carbonaro who is now at the Werribee tigers forging an afl journalism career. He gives me very good inside information.

[johnfromtheVAFA]

some valid points but bernards will not last the season with many calder representatives unavalibe come finals in tac cup, but the xavs have the names to go the distance and would like to say the reports of rupo are nothing short of a joke these players named are reds players and are no where near the standards of what the sec 1 boys are playing pull your heads in and post some decent ideas guys.

[OldMelburnian28]

Now come on John, don't you think that's a bit harsh??? Have you actually been down and watched a rupo game? I have the feeling you are a cynical person with hostile feelings towards the boys from sunbury...they mustn't be THAT bad if their playing section 1 footy.

[Frederik Kanoute]

You do realise that the cannons bloke associated with the bernards 19's haven't played a game yet, probably won't play more than a handful and won't be required come finals time. the bernards side is full of good honest footballers with tons of ability who bust their gut every week and smash their opponents. never get an easy game against them

[johnfromtheVAFA]

Gee buddy, you might want to actually check who plays on the weekend. The game just gone st bernards had to massive inclusions in j.Foulds and A.Stapleton two quality cannons players who would not be out of league in the tac cup. But hey nice post buddy, you idiot

[OldMelburnian28]

Well noted John, time we start pulling up users on their pitiful lies. Frederik...get your facts strait! Either change your source, or wash your mouth out with soup you naughty boy.

You have no idea at all, with or without them 2 players the St.Bernards U/19's are very strong and will match it with any team on any day. Go back into your hole in the ground you rat.

[St.Kev's Cowboy]

Can't say I've ever heard of anyone washing their mouth out "with soup." But nonetheless what are everyones tips for the week?
Mine are: De La by a large amount
Rupo just over Marcellin
St Bernads over Uni B's
The old drink to dish out a hiding to the "Yulers"
And unfortunately the Xavs over my mob

Very harsh words there, do i sense a bit of hostility between you and 'johnfromthevafa'...or is the issue of st bernards 19's struggling without their 2 guns a bit of a touchy subject down there???

[Champs wear da No.16]

johnny and oldmelb bloke, i dont understand why u dont rate bernards, maybe u should listen to my old mate freddy on what is happening down there at bernards. the bernards players tht r on the cannons list will never all play at once and even if they do, i can tell u it wouldnt really worry any1 down at bernards all tht much. the list at bernards is very strong and there is great competition within the club to get a game in the 19's.

why doesnt any1 really think tht they r a threat or a chance at success?

[nicho_magic]

i''ll be apart of the xavs v st kevs clash... i expect st kevs to get pumped by roughly 100 points. but we'll see

are you serious? does no one on this forum rubbish give marcellin a sniff at anything.. only won the 19s flag by 10 goals last year over a team that rupertswood beat by a point. if the seniors werent such a young team no other team in the 19's would get a sniff.

[OldMelburnian28]

Ok guys ready for a big round??? just like the tree said to the lumberjack "im stumped" on a few of these games. But here we go:
De La Salle by 60
Rupo by 10
Uni Blues by 22
Old Scotch by 27
Old Xavs by 34

Sorry 'StKevs Cowboy' just don't think you guys are "upto it" this year, lack depth and direction from experienced campaigners maybe?
Banyule wont be in the mix all year.
StBernards havn't proved themselves to me yet, sure they havn't lost a game, but beating mediocre sides wont get me on board. "talk to talk" now time to walk the walk.
Rupo are the dark horse, very new club to the vafa and are progressing astoundingly through the grades.
Relegation looks promising for collegians.

OM man signing off.

[digger9]

guys im a bernards senior boy, and to be honest we arent that good. im so over our coach, im thinking of hanging up my white boots. we dont have that many great players coming through in the 19s. good young blokes in the seniors but 19s arent for real. they think they are all that and a bowl of soup. enuough from all of you. Marcellin what ive seen are pretty boys, worry about their hair and money too much that their sausages have become hamburgers, if that makes sense. Rupertswood are going okay without being outstanding for their first year of section 1 but dont get your feral hopes up high. St KEvs pull your heads out of the mirror, you are similar to marcellin. As for Banyule, they can get eaten by bears for all i care. GO BERNARDS

MAte you can't bring last year into it, u19 teams change so dramatically over a year, look at banyule.

[OldMelburnian28]

True milnedog, with senior promotion, imports/exports and injuries, referring to previous years is unreliable!!!
I don't want to hear about how good your side was in 1987, or how well fab gatti from marcellin is playing! And i definently don't want prity boys talking their own sides up on a forum! You are all lesser mortals!!!

agreed, but there is not a 100% turnover of players. as for banyule, they dominated section 2, so what? there is such a massive difference from section 2 to 1. all they had last year was a fat bloke sitting at full forward kicking bags and the likes of camberwell, carey, whitefriars etc were too scared to man up.
As for digger9, you sound like a battler, good for you champ.

I never said i dont rate ttem, but i do believe that Foulds is a massive inclusion when he plays and aswell stapleton they give them some talls to aim for down forward and with them in the side takes some pressure off other key talls. They would be missed if they didnt play but i agree that they dont make the side they are a quality team foulds or not but i do think they boost their stocks dramatically when playing.

[oc37]

Any thoughts from anyone re Section2 . doesnt seem to be a thread for it.. would be interested on thoughts re teams, players, favorites etc.. seems to be a fairly even comp with some mixed results and upsets already.

I don't know who 'Digger 9' is but he has definently had some great input over time, is he just lying about who he is and information sources? or is he actually a senior st bernards player fed up with arrogant "up and comers".

Is the Stapleton playing for St. Bernards (and the Cannons??) the one who used to go to Xavier? Big forward type.

[big_bad_bustling_bazza]

well digger 9 u obviously havent done ur homework! cal potter a laughable suggestion they were elevated from section three to two by the likes of nath sullivan and peter barry! from 2 to 1 by the likes of the exact same players in the side this year maybe u need to question the pillow talk old benny carbanarro gives ya hey?

They lost a greater % of players to the seniors compared to most clubs.

[footy_nerd]

Big upset of the round seeing uni blues easily beat st bernards, so much for the views held by many on this forum that suggested that bernards would be a power house in section 1.

For mind rupertswood are easily holding their own agianst clubs who have been around a lot longer, have senior teams in a or b grade and have access to exceptional facilties provided by their affiliate schools. Massive win over marcellin by the woods men no doubt more improvement to come with some big inclsuions expected in the following weeks. Tragedy though with Beau Lovett from the 2nd side recovering from a hamstring strain in previous weeks sustaining a suspected broken foot. Had 5 up to quarter time with 8 marks and 10 possessions, before injurying himself early in the second quarter. Would of no doubt gained u19 1 selection and possibly senior selection in the comming weeks.

the ulers continue the season of disappointment and reignite the debate over a mid season relogation to u19 blue to maintain the intergrity of the section 1 league.

[oc37]

several u19-2 sides woudl be very competitive in section 1.. any of the current top four.,/.. issue of Banyule is that they have lost most of last eyars side.. The first few matches in u19 shodul be grading matches.. look at every grade and you will see the same issue as Banyule and it is such a fluid age group.

say three weeks grading.. play bottom four of previous year against top four of divison below, and take submissions.. also say St Bedes Mentone for example win a section 3 playoff by 100.. push them up two grades the next grading game..

IMO anyway.. while it woudl be difficult and controversial. it woudl lessen a lot of the heartache for sides liek Banyule, St LEos etc.. often sides in u19 do not even know who will be showing up the next seaosn when they are offered promotion

[johnfromtheVAFA]

Couldnt care less about section 2 and who you believe could possibly play sec 1. start your own thread and talk your 2nd grade rubbish there.

Well reigning premiers had a loss and look to be in a lull, the rupo boys are having some good results and a few out, trav smith witha stomach infection aka pussy stomach. Big tasks ahead of them still to play bernards and the great xavs, who i believe are going under the radar not much talk about them but are playing some sensational football.

I have to say that the supporters were feral with the effort put up by the marcilin boys, i saw some supporters tearing up the memberships and hurling abuse at the younsters as they came off the ground, just what they deserved and this could be a little wake up call for them. Thinking that they would waltz into another sec 1 granny isnt going to be the case. Bit of a kic up the bum from some boys who really want to play some footy and concentrate everything they have at the leather and have 22 players in the bus and not like marcilen who had 5 players carying the side to the ground on the we.

[OldMelburnian28]

Well it seems as though Stbernards are the Anthony Mundine of section one. Maybe instead of talking up your boys you should've been practicing to hit a target. Easy win for UB's with little to no pressure im told, and as expected rupo embarrass marcellin. Few clubs are showing the respect rupo deserve and marcellin payed the price on the weekend.

[linger_isgod]

Had 5 up to quarter time with 8 marks and 10 possessions, before injurying himself early in the second quarter. Would of no doubt gained u19 1 selection and possibly senior selection in the comming weeks. U/19 Red Section.

OX (2) - 17.6-108
Rupertswood (2) - 4.12-36

[Old Xaverian]

After read up on a few of your comments John I have to strongly agree with what your saying about the Rupo team. Having just played them this week in the reds (trying to come back from injury) I was also very impressed with the telent levels that where shown from there younger side. One stand for me the impressive yet explosive skill on the young Lovett such an impressive unit should push for selection if his form stay's up.

You also said that you also play for Xavs I would like to no who you played under as I have a rich family history at the club and would like to no if you played with my father.

I lie i never played for xavs, i stuck to the links as a younster and was more worried about my drive then my kicking, my mum didnt want me playing contact sports. I just have an obsession with my xavs boys they are flying at the moment and just like to add that we are yet to play rupo and i am looking forward to that match as the rupo boys are on the up and should be an interesting battle.

[footy_nerd]

hey eddie wolescock, and all you other private school p o ofs who think it is their job to correct everyone elses grammar, get your head out the books and put it over the pill, since when did this become a thread about the particulars of the english language. Who cares where the apostrophes go, the most imprtant thing is that the sherrin flies through the big sticks on a saturday afternoon more times than the opposition. You private school toffs need to realise this, the sooner you do the more chances you have of getting a win on the board. Get the silver spoon out your proverbial and get focused on the footy.

On another note, a game that will ultimately decide the wooden spooner, the ulers take on collegians in what in my view is a game where there doesn't deserve to be a winner. Both clubs have seriously jepordised the intergrity of this years u19 competition by their insipid perfomances thus far and their respective clubs should be disappointed in the attitude they have demonstrated towards the u19 comp.

[VAFA19s]

footy_nerd,

Bloody oath! Great post about any bloke who feels the need to come on here and correct another. Just stick to the footy or get lost.

On that note, how are the various teams going injury-wise/list-wise at this early stage in the season? many to come back?: i know xavs and skobs still have about 5 to come back each until near full strength, and de la are still missing a few as well. Any info on other teams would be good so we can work out what's going on here and who's in the running for finals as the season progresses; rupi's over marcellin, who lost by 5pts to the supposedly potential-powerhouse bernards the week before? uni, who were thumped by marcellin, having the wood on bernards? must have be some serious changes going on so far?

Also, i think certainly the woodsmen are on the up after being underestimated early. At the moment, as far as i can tell, xavs & de la seem in a league of their own, with bernards, UB's and marcellin (we can throw in woodsmen now) all in with a real crack: however as yet, neither the dairy-bells or OX has played either any of the others. Should be interesting when it happens...

Cheers.

Congratulations. We never realised English is not your native tongue, yet you speak it so . . . so approximately. Perhaps when next you play the private school boys, you will be taught lessons in both football and in English.

[VAFA19s]

Battlers; keep it on the footy yap.

[footy_nerd]

wolescock, first of all i don't play for rupo and second of all it is now round 5 and judging by the results rupo have already proved themselves against the more fancied private school p o o f ters. I was talking to a senior member of of the committee at Old Xavs and he highlighted that Xavs and other section 1 clubs despise rupo due to their sudden and rapid raise to the highist level of underage football. Other clubs have fought for years and years to get to where they are today whereas rupo have seemingly been promoted at a grade every year due to their successful season campaigns. Do i sense a hint of jealously, from all reports rupo are generally the smaller team on the park each week but their hardness at the pill and courage shown is what against them over the line against the softer private school teams that continue to shirk the issue when the hard ball is their to be won.

if this is the case it is extremely disappointing and perhaps you should fix the troubles facing you and your private school team before correcting peoples grammar and spelling.

[frase18]

footy nerd do you really feel that inferior to people who went to a private school, so inferior that it makes you have a crack at them on a footy forum? unless thats how you were taught at high school, that is if you attended past year 8?

[The Rupo Road Train]

My fellow forum members. Today there has been some devestating news for the rupo boys. Beau Lovett has recieved confirmation that he has strained ligaments in his ankle. He will miss 2 to 3 weeks. Will this be a problem for the rupo boys, not having a strong target at full foreward. How will this affect the rupo boys?

Also there has been some talk that the likes of Quigley, Baddely and McPhee are in line for Rep side call ups. Are they up to this standard. I think so. How could they not be picked.

[m.diddy]

wolescock, first of all i don't play for rupo and second of all it is now round 5 and judging by the results rupo have already proved themselves against the more fancied private school p o o f ters. I was talking to a senior member of of the committee at Old Xavs and he highlighted that Xavs and other section 1 clubs despise rupo due to their sudden and rapid raise to the highist level of underage football. Other clubs have fought for years and years to get to where they are today whereas rupo have seemingly been promoted at a grade every year due to their successful season campaigns. Do i sense a hint of jealously, from all reports rupo are generally the smaller team on the park each week but their hardness at the pill and courage shown is what against them over the line against the softer private school teams that continue to shirk the issue when the hard ball is their to be won.

if this is the case it is extremely disappointing and perhaps you should fix the troubles facing you and your private school team before correcting peoples grammar and spelling.

HAHA that's bull:D:D:D:D.

[VAFA19s]

footy_nerd,

ship off. some of my best mates play for xavs and the REAL word is that they don't despise rupo at all; who would despise a team or club for putting in an A-grade effort and making it to div 1? [feel free to drop the name of this 'senior member of of the committee' if what you're saying is in fact true]. if anyone despises anyone else, its all from school rivalries between private school 'p o o f s' that you can't seem to get past (eg- Scotch v. Skevs). Suggestions of jealousy are just ridiculous, so how about instead of commenting on people, rather discuss the footy itself.

As you said, it's round 5: probably a bit early to do so much labelling. But i do conceed that rupo look to be right up there.

IN regards to that, The Rupo Road Train, the news about beau lovett, thats just no good. With the woodsmen seemingly coming the goods in the past couple of weeks they really needed to keep a strong team and win a few tests coming up in order to cement themselves as a finals contender. But as was mentioned, they seem to have the depth to be able to cover this loss? I only really know about the xavs, but they've only had both their CHF and FF for 1, match this year (against banyule), with their FF not playing in any others, and their CHF for only 1 of the other 3. So i guess it happens to all teams: rupo will be right i reckon, despite it being a temporary setback. Thank heavens it was only 2-3 weeks and not more eh? The word of 3 possible rep-teamers is also good; more proof of rupo's undeniable quality i reckon.

Does anyone know who, if anyone, the 19 rep team plays? does it play other league's rep teams? go interstate? How many nominations does each team have?
Cheers.

They play against a QLD side of some sort, in a curtain raiser @ the Gabba on the long weekend coming up.

what does that have to do with old xavs?? how could we possibly be jealous of a team by the name of 'rupo', or something along those lines, that no one has heard of. xavs are in A grade (won it last year, mind you), A reserve, have two teams in Club 18 (section 1), and under 19's in section 1, and a team in the red division as well, which could easily compete with the lesser likes of section one, such as 'rupo' and banyule.
so, tell me again please, what does the most prestigious and most successful amateur club in the country have to be jealous about again please? :rolleyes:

[go_the_cattas]

i've been following the under 19's section 1 competition for about 5 years now. i would just like to say how impressed i have been with the early form of Rupertswood. Their pace across the ground and ball carrying ability make them the side to beat this season. With guns such as ryan, green, jacobs and brown to return to the side this week against Uni Blues they are sure to hand the Blues their @rses on a silver platter. As for bernards i was extremely dissapointed to watch their atrocious display of football last saturday. They were completely outclassed by a Blues team who would be struggling in Section 2. Hopefully by the time Bernards play rupertswood they will have ironed out the creases in their game, and make a contest out of it. As a non biased spectator i'm sure looking forward to rupertswood putting on a show this weekend when iventure down from my toorak mansion.

P.S. The loss of lovett due to his foot injury will surely dampen the spirits of the rupertswood boys.

spin the wheel barry.

UNI blues will surprise you, it took them a couple of weeks to gel together because most of them don't even know eachother at the start of the year compared to most of the other teams where most of the players were at school together. They're always a good unit and will only get better.

that is utter crap. Xavs 2nd u19 side is in the very worst division, and will struggle in that as it is. rupertswood are playing good footy (despite dela's demolition of them in round 1) and even though banyule are struggling they would still give xavs 2's an absoloute smashing.

[Champs wear da No.16]

My fellow forum members. Today there has been some devestating news for the rupo boys. Beau Lovett has recieved confirmation that he has strained ligaments in his ankle. He will miss 2 to 3 weeks. Will this be a problem for the rupo boys, not having a strong target at full foreward. How will this affect the rupo boys?

come on buddy strained ligaments should neva keep u out. im sure ur bloke will play and if he doesnt ur team should tell him he is soft!

[VAFA19s]

don't come on here making riduculous comments like that akron; can't have watched much of banyule if you think they'd beat xavs 2's: they are out and out rubbish... the xavs 1s (who beat banyule by 23 goals) wouldn't beat their 2's by half that. the reason that xavs 2's are in red is because there was no 19 2's for xavs last year, and so this year the team has to start in the lowest division and work its way up (it can't just go straight to div 3 or 2 or 1, even if they are better), not at the top and be relegated down; that wouldn't be a fair way to run the comp now would it? watch some football before making such comments again, for the good of the thread and what little credability you aim to have on it.
Also, what is everyone's obsession with teams being 'soft' on this thread? I very much doubt that any team plays 'soft' football (everyone has their hard-nuts), id say its more about which team has the ticker to bounce back and go the distance in a game and in the season...

[OldMelburnian28]

Here are my tips for the week:
Rupo way to good for uni blues
Old Xavs over Marcellin easily, i feel that Marcellin's season is close to being finished with a couple of big losses...cant be good for their confidence. No ticker down at the M camp.
Banyule Vs Collegians...who cares??? honestly!!
Old Scotch will give the berdards boys a lesson in football, bring your note pad and pens boys!
Sorry St Kevs Cowboy, im gonna tip against your boys again.

[johnfromtheVAFA]

Lot of posting from the rupo boys on this thread lets hope that you can back it up obviously there are some rupo players in this thread, so make sure you back up your talk fellas. Lets hope that the three boys selected from rupo can make it into the vafa under 19's sqaud. I like the look of baddeley he seems a natural leader, what are some of your thoughs on him, and the other two boys that are training quigley(unbelievable oi his left) and mcphee?

Also rupo have only played one real top side in de la, so a bit early in the wraps for these boys i am a big fan but as they are yet to play my beloved xavs and st bernards they have a fair way to travel, no one wins a flag in may.

It's what all the banyule players love to say.

"oh you go to a private school so your soft." :rolleyes: Then how the :D:D:D:D all those schools been in the 1 and 2 divisions over the years if they are so soft.

[Old Xaverian]

That is a tough blow for Rupo losing Beau, But I think that there senior side will really struggle for the rest of the year. Can anyone name who they have beaten ? There real test will come when they play the top sides which I think they will have a tough time beating. Does anyone agree?

[VAFA19s]

I don't think the de la thumping they recieved in week 1 should be taken too seriously; praccy's and first couple are hard to take as a serious indicator, though im not sure they could make up a 20 goal deficite, and so agree that it looks like they might fall a little short of the top teams...
I am not sure how good marcellin is yet (this week against the OX will give a pretty solid indication though!), but they did cop a fair pasting from the woodsmen;
In summary, at the moment i personally reckon they should be treated with caution definately, however comments made earlier in the thread about them being the team to beat is a bit of a joke at this stage...

Seems like this thread is all about rupertswood! I would like to know what people (i haven't seen them play yet) think of scotch this year? i hear they have a pretty decent forwardline? Also, how do people think Uni will go against teams like de la? Are they up to that standard of footy?

[digger9]

who cares about scotch? this thread has been over rupotised but its a laughable read, and im sure scotch boys dont have much humour. they are too busy looking at themselves in that million dollar mirror, pity they wont look that pretty after we have dealed with them in the seniors. id just like to say ive really had enough at st bernards to be honest, roachy(seniors) thinks hes it and a bit. hes a good player but he has to get over himself. it looks like the 19s are following in his footsteps, thats right like a pack of sheep. and the wilkos are a joke, i wonder what they get upto in the sack.....together. dont have a crack at me the rest of you bernards boys as you all know what i am talking about.
lets get back to rupo, i want to hear more reports on all these so called guns you are talking about as I have not seen their name in the best so far this season except lovett being in their most weeks.

[BlueBoys88]

Definently some good points there, rupo have been talking themselves up on this thread for too long! Your boys from xavs and bernards should shut these boys up for a while.
In resonse to your queries of the 3 players selected for interleague from rupo i dont really care. Apparently their side is fairly even across the board (good players, but not great). But noone talented enough for interleague selection (except possibly 2 other players who i think have experienced senior football, which u didnt mention).

Good luck on the weekend everyone.

[St.Kev's Cowboy]

To right you all are!
Enough Rupertswood pump up talk please!! Fair enough they've played some good footy but there are nine other sides I'd like to know a bit about as well.
Digger, stop making a fool of yourself, the only thing you're currently digging is a mighty big hole for yourself to plummet into!
Onto footy, what is the news of the Scotchies? Haven't heard nearly enough. De La seem to be a bit of a pace setter, but it is only round 5 this week. St.B's and Xavs going well, Marcellin slipped up massively against 'The Woodsmen' and Banyule & Collegians are struggling early.
Any tips for league b & f? (Apart from this Beau Lovett character) Which players are spending time in their one's?
Congratulations to all who made the Rep Squad.
Tips this week: De La over St.k's easily, (record score??)
Rupo just over Uni B's
St B's over the Scotchies
OX's easily over Marcelin
and Banyule - Collegians to be called off to save face.

[footy_nerd]

the man from the wild wild west is on the money, rupo whilst looking promising early are still yet to asert any sort of dominance over what many belive to be class acts in bernards and xavs. Rupo really need to notch up a win against uni blues this weekend to prove they are a force in section one, not just making up numbers.

John from the vafa perhaps you might inlighten us on how xavs are travelling this year, good players and so forth, any one pushing up into the seniors, they look to be a force this year.

On another note does anybody reckon that it is possible to get drafted playing VAFA section 1 19's. The standard amongst many of the teams is very high and surely AFL scouts must be on the lookout across all underage leagues in Victoria.

This baddely fellow from rupo, from what i remember from previous years spectating is that is a good athletic size, good hands and knows how to find the pill, however is goal kicking ability from set shots is questionable, one game last year i think from memory he kicked 1 goal 9. Did play at the cannons for a little bit last year and was impressive before being injured just before the finals. Couldn't break into the calder side but played a pivitol role in rupo's u19 section 2 fianls campaign. His technique doesn't seem to be a problem, maybe its confidence, a little bit more time on track may serve to rectify the problem.

Hows other clubs going with their VAFA representatives, i would imagine De La and xavs having a few 'superstars' putting their handup for what i belive is a terrifc opportunity to showcase an individuals talent agianst equally talented young footballers from the best underage comp in the country.

[BlueBoys88]

I can't stress how much the likes of footynerd, johnfromthevafa and digga9 are frustrating me!
I think you boys have to realise that the majority of people on this forum do not care how talented you think your friend from rupo is. Nor does his pathetic history interest us. Keep up the chit chat, but talk about something worth reading.

Drafted from U19's. You are joking of course. Any player anywhere near good enough to get drafted would be playing senior football at 18 or at TAC level not hiding in an under age comp were you can play till your married with kids.

Thank you Blueboy it's about time, I'm sick of hearing about Rupo and how they are so good. Yes they have had some good wins, but they are playing above themselves and finals are not played in the first 5 weeks of the season lets see where there at when September comes around.

...


ok so if xavs 2s are so good, and it is simply a matter of time before they ''work theyre way up'', then why have they already dropped a game and lost a preseason competition to smutty teams such as old mentonians and powerhouse/sth mornington who are struggling in blue division ? your the fool losing credibility making rediculous statements like that a team in red division would beat a team in section one.

[VAFA19s]

Akron,

1. i certainly wouldn't take too much out of pre-season lightening premiership competitions, especially when the team playing was one VASTLY different to the one playing at the moment
2. other than that, their only loss was by 6pts to a team who are now below them, who got pumped by Westbourne (who they also beat)
3. they beat a team who are now in 5th position
4. they're in the top 4, are placed second at the moment and have the 2nd highest percentage...

so next time, instead of picking out certain facts and ignoring others, give credit where credit's due. as for banyule, i honestly think that the OX 2's could, at least, "compete" (in the words of the person who originally posted the comment) with them; they are simply not up to div1 standard and wouldn't finish top 4 in the 2's, and im sure any person who's seen both teams play this SEASON would agree... if you'd actually seen or appreciated either team play to the level they're at, instead of coming on here and nitpicking other people's comments to act as though you have any clue about this league, im sure you'd agree that there is no way banyule would 'smash' OX 19 2's. But i guess we'll never know as they won't play each other, so i say we keep it within the bounds of div 1 from now on... im sure everyone would agree with that also.

Gentlemen, you continue to hang it on Banyule, however, just keep in the mind that this is their 4th year in the competition. They have made it form Under 19 red (section 4 or 5 depending on what side of the yarra you are from) to Section 1 in that time. They won the flag in 2003 without losing a game, jumped straight from 19 red to division 2 in 2004 where they finished 5th and last year won division 2. Not a bad rise. Also consider that Banyule seniors lost 10 of their best 12 senior players to either retirement or other clubs so it is up to the under 19's to fill the voids.

In last weeks team against St Leos 9 players played in the seniors who played under 19's last year.

Not everyone has the same depth as the xavs or de las. Fair enough they are struggling at the moment but you must give them credit for giving section 1 a go. Not many other teams would have jumped 4 divisions in their 4th year of competing.

ok if you want to get into six degrees of seperation then theres a million ways i could prove to you that banyule would beat xavs 2s. but all thats necessary is that banyule are in section one and xavs 2s are in red. its not a difference of one or two sections but four or five. and if you want to attack my credibility because i havent watched every minute of xavs 2nd u19s side, then feel free. I have a game to play of my own every saturday afternoon, but still know enough about the league to have a fair and unbiased view

[VAFA19s]

Old timer, no disagreeing that banyule has made a rise throughout the leagues that is quite unprecedented and a bloody good effort in itself; that definately deserves credit. But the fact is thats not really relevent at all; the fact is their team is very average this year, for whatever reason, and thats all that has anything to do with this particular conversation. I didn't know about their rise, but yeah thats an amazing effort i agree.

And akron, exactly what i said; the reason there are not 1 or 2, but 4 or 5 is because any new team must start in the lowest divisions and work its way up; therefore thats hardly any argument as to why banyule would 'smash' OX 19 2's: it is of little consequence. But seeing as you're admitting that you haven't watched 'every minute of xavs 2nd u19s side' (clearly you've watched none, if any, seeing as you play yourself), but you've just proven that your comments were made without any actual basis (thus without credibility) rather than their respective leagues. so thank you. never post again unless its about a completely different topic.

[m.diddy]

ok so if xavs 2s are so good, and it is simply a matter of time before they ''work theyre way up'', then why have they already dropped a game and lost a preseason competition to smutty teams such as old mentonians and powerhouse/sth mornington who are struggling in blue division ? your the fool losing credibility making rediculous statements like that a team in red division would beat a team in section one.

[nicho_magic]

xav 1's absoluteyl SMASHED marcellin, what a one sided result that was

[VAFA19s]

With uni blues now 4-1 and easily accounting for rupo on the weekend, i think its time we heard a bit more about them: how are they for injuries, players to come back? how will the fare against the seemingly stronger teams of de la & xavs?
I imagine that since they didn't go to school together, they could only be getting better as they learn to play with each other as a team; look ominous coming into a big couple of weeks ahead. what do we think?
Cheers.

[St.Kev's Cowboy]

Spot on VAFA19, Uni Blues comfortabley beat The Woodsmen and would have to be considered in the same upper group as Bernards, Xavs & De La.
No surprising results on the w/e really. Marcellin showed last weeks slapping was no fluke by getting beaten by even more, de la only had to turn up to beat St.K's and the Scotchies gave the dogs a run for their money.
Any news on dominant players for the w/e? What about the Uni Blues? Haven't heard anything about them, probably why I made the mistake of tipping the over-hyped Rupo. I think though, this weeks Old Scotch v Rupo will show us whether or not it is a 5 horse race. One side undefeated, 3 on 4-1 and Rupo at 3-2.

Benson for OX kicked another 5 to add to his bag for the year; takes him to about 23 (the VAFA record missed a week).
