Just wondering when the HS starts. Wouldn't be too far now. Also what schools need to be looked at. Obviously St. Bernard's, St. Pat's, Assumption.. Whitefriers? Are they dominant any more?? Just want to hear ppls opinions..

But isn't it the best schools in Victoria playing? Surely it would be the second best Under 18 comp in Victoria so how could you claim that it;s a joke and not strong?

No it is not the best schools in Vic. Haileybury are not playing and they would smash all the rubbish teams in the Herald Sun comp as they have 15 TAC players running round in their first 18. Melbourne Grammer with Xavier Ellis and Tom Hawkins are also a strong team who is not in Herald Sun rubbish.

Pull your head out of your arse mate. It doesnt matter how TAC players are playing in your team. The APS only play each other and they claim to be the best. St Berands would probally have about 10+ TAC players and they arent
best school.

IF your saw the mighty bloods performance today against the highly rated MGS, smashing them by 70 odd points it would be hard to argue that they are the best school team at the moment, possibly ever. The side has so much quality that there are TAC listed players having to run round in the 2nds. This side of champions would beat some of the lower ranked TAC sides. So i think you are the one who needs to pull their head out their arse and realise the Herald Sun is a low quality comp made up of poorer schools.

Biggest fish in the biggest pond don't you mean. APS is a far superior comp than any other. These public schools and poorer private schools have no chance to match it with the likes of haileybury where everyone wants to attend so can therefor get the best players on scholarships.

Greatest team ever = Bloods (2004-present)

isnt it funny your school pays for people to be at your school to play footy yet at assumption people pay our school to play for it. Your a fool no idea about college footy at all assumption and xavier can both produce ten teams better than this pretend team you have at the moment.

Just because you are scum mate and can't afford to attend an APS school and your scholarship application got knocked backed cos you are sh*t doesn't mean you have to take it out on the APS. Go back to your trailerpark.. scum

From Geelong myself and I reckon St. Joeys are the only team that plays Herald Sheild. Grammer and College in APS? Don't under estimate the Joeys boys though.. have produced some very quality players in the past!

i went 2 an aps school for a bit but changed over, so i could further my sport by playin tac/premier cricket on weekends instead of playing school sports. id say only difference between aps sides and herald sun sides is the teamwork and thats it (cos aps schools play together week in/week out & some kids had 2 play good to stay at that school- it happened at mine anyways).
i would rather win a herald sun shield than an APS final for sure though.

Jackson Sheringham was unstoppable, only a couple of poor kicks at goal had let him down.

Ryan Williams was sitting at full forward and just outclassed his opponent.

Joe Macula carving it up in the middle, very surprised he got cut from Falcons this year.

Just for everyone's information...

Everytime an APS school has entered the Herald Sun Shield they have failed to make the final.

It's no surprise that no APS sides enter the Shield now as the schools don't want to lose their reputation.

And who really cares about Haileybury? Any school could go out and buy the best 22 players from Victoria if they wanted to that badly. It's just that most other schools have other agenda's other than "buying" football success:)

Seriously when people look back at the teams that have won these premierships and shields, people will see an asterix next to all Haileybury success.

Money can't buy respect, and I hope Haileybury's attitude to football doesn't sick too heavily into their player's mindsets, because if they do it will be detrimental to the clubs that end up drafting them.

Good too see Jacko and Rino trying out for the Vic Country squad... Joe Macula was dogged by Buddha! Hopefully a VFL club can see his potential.

this joeys team will go very far. Jacko is an absolute freak as is williams. The team is very even and team full of falcons is always going to be hard to beat. Hot tip; Joeys for the herald shield.

Not sure how you could call the St Joes team ''very even'' because ive heard about these gun falcons players and how far they will take the school for the herald shield but when they are taken out of the side for ACC games and sides like dela make the long trip down the coast and beat them pretty convincingly, it doesnt look too ''even'' at all.

Thats because the whole team is basicly made up of falcons players, and when u take them out for Acc games, ofcourse the team is going to struggle, as your taking 3/4 of the team away. With a full side the team is even, as it has falcons players across the whole ground.

Joey's really dominated, didn't give St. Bernards a chance. IMO though, it really should've been a 10-12 goal win at least. missed that many easy chances it wasn't funny.

It just shows how poor the ACC is when parade are in the semis or maybe how stupid the draw is when the 3 best teams are in 1 group for the shield and the other side is :D:D:D:D teams

BTW if Parade are actually a chance for the ACC final this year, any chance they will put up a fight this year? Last year was so boring and one sided :) Or maybe it was too cold for them?

7 MAZENOD 5 1 0 4 4 86 478 17.99

Thats before yesterdays games which Friars, Parade, St Joeys Geelong won

St Joeys are in the final with the bye next week are onto 20 points with Parade but with a huge % advantage and Parade and St Bernads play off for the 2nd spot practically next week with De La a small chance

So the ladder now would be something like

Parade 20
St Joeys Gee 16
St Bernards 16
Whitefriars 16
De La 16? Could be 12

St Joeys go straight up to 20 with the bye. Only chance Friarss or De La can make it is overtaking St Bernards on % meaning St Bernards beat Parade by aqbout 1 point next week whilst they have a big win they might be a chance, if De La lost yesterday they are out
