Colac & District League

[thekid178]

Welcome to the CDFL thread, feel free to talk news, reviews, and general happenings in the colac league

[Grimmett]

How's the new league CEO travelling?

[thekid178]

all good so far there hasnt been many off field dramas going on so he must be doing all right

[Todman]

In Round 5, 1967 Colac Imperials kicked 30.45 225 to Beeac 3.2.20.

Colac Imperials was 6.19 at quarter time.

Thats got to be a record.

[ablett19]

Any news on big Tommy Sutherland returning to Otway Districts after a stint at Ballan last week??

[KingRich]

Any news on big Tommy Sutherland returning to Otway Districts after a stint at Ballan last week??

Rumour has it the 'T' Train may be making a comeback for Otway after one 'Spectacular' game for Ballan last week!

[woof woof]

Can anyone tell me about last years coach for Lorne Brock Shiels. I heard he is heading up here to play again, should be a handful for most players.

[thekid178]

tommy's clearance is being processed as we speak so he'l be back in a demons jumper on the weekend

[tomsut_69]

You guys are idiots!

[KingRich]

You guys are idiots!

Go OTWAY!

[tomsut_69]

Can anyone tell me about last years coach for Lorne Brock Shiels. I heard he is heading up here to play again, should be a handful for most players.

yeah mate, gun player, i think he had a falling out with the club somehow, not sure of the details really, but i know he wanted to keep coaching. But older and retired players have come back such as Jason Langdon and Coutts, not sure whether Holroyd is back but i think he is.

[KingRich]

Good to see the Otway Districts Demons getting a win on the board. Ian 'Hairy' Davidson in the best again! The return of favourite son Tom Sutherland really lifted the dees and they didn't let him down with a big win!:thumbsu:

[thekid178]

imps beat apollo bay on the weekend, with seecamp unable to trouble the scorers.... big surprise there id say

[Turtle_15]

RBDJAK best on in his first apperance for the dees. seecamp scoreless, quite suprising should be a big test this week to get win number 2 on the board against the imps then. But with tommy's big bonecrunching tackles anything is a chance, and with the awesome form of one pete derbyshire this season too continue another win could be on the cards for the mighty dees....

dal byars up forward could kick a bag this week with his fitness on the improve and those super duke extentions.:thumbsu:

[Boundary-Rider]

Interleague Sides

Some promosing young players in these squads last year does anyone know who is training this year and if so what do you know about these guys.

Watched the interleague teams in Geelong last year and some have now made falcons.

Any young guns to watch out for.

[coaster1]

Coupe of good talls last year

Luke Norton, Levi Dare and some young runners, Jordan Murrihy, David Dunn

This year don't now think they started training recently first game Late May.

They beat the local Geelong team on both games.

[thekid178]

havent seen a squad yet but id assume itd be released pretty soon

[coaster1]

First Interleague game to be played up in Colac next weekend with return game back home in Geelong in June.

Geelong squad no names yet and from what we have heard Colac the same. Have heard Luke Hodge's dad is involved in the coaching of Colac.

When anyone hears can they please post squads.

[KingRich]

Otway put in another credible showing! Rumour has it that a certain 'recruit' back in for his second game got sent off in the second quarter for a dubois bump! May have swung the game!

[ablett19]

Who is this Knowles for Otway?
Heard he goes alright, hard at it

[Turtle_15]

This Knowles bloke u speak of could be good if his fitness was half respectable... hard at it yes not smart tho.... probably harder than u will ever be ablett19

[joshooaa]

that Stingray Timmons looks to be doing well for Colac this year.

[Turtle_15]

With big dal up forward on the weekend extenting those dukes and kicking 3 goals had imps worried!! until a certain number 34 for otway was sent off for the biggest bump he has ever laid (timing a factor in the decision)!!!
RBDJAK with another stella performance and taking the tap fill from it rightful owner hughballs. has been the livewire down back for the demons

rbdjak might wanna invest in a salt lick before next game, might stop those ginormous cramps

[uber_1]

Is it true that the A.B Pres. look his players out of the changerooms after their lose on th w.e?

[localfootyguru]

Just wondering how are Forrest travelling this season?

Also, are their still McGuane's running around in the CDFL? There used to be a heap of them playing for Irrewillpe prior to their evolution as the Western Eagles? Some of them weren't too bad as footballers and they were good guys too.

[coaster1]

What AFL clubs would be watching the Under 17 Interleague games. If so have the clubs done any homework on these kids

[TURTLE6]

What are the odds of Otway turning around their season?

[thekid178]

i think they can turn the season round from looking a lot better than 1 win, but finals r looking more and more distant

lets hope the injuries to cooper and knowles aren't too serious

[Sherman41]

i am not a real follower of this league but i have heard that otways is on the way up after a tough start to the season with the return of the prodical son tom t-train sutherland, after his sensational outing with ballan that was sure to turn heads. i have also been informed of the strict fitness regime they go through by fitness coach dallas byars, a man i am told is at the height of his physical prowess, is this true?

Spot on Shermo, Spot on!!

[TURTLE6]

Spot on Shermo, Spot on!!His fitness is at a premuim no doubt about that. Must be the new diet and training program. He is about to turn Otways season around.

there must be some sort of a leak down at otway cos from what i understand its all true...

[tomsut_69]

I forbid the the use of fitness and byars used in the same sentence.

Otway has banned him from training as they know he is like a Robert Harvey, too fit.

Well byars fitness may be lacking as will your bank account after paying for the damage caused by M.C Sutho.....

[Motty]

Does the CDFNL have a "Footy Record" for home and away games yet (I know they usually do them for finals, but never know why they don't do it week in, week out)?

thats a good point motty, maybe the t-train or drill sargeant byars could on to that between protein shakes, how did the otways boys go on the weekend?

[ablett19]

You will never guess Shermo. They had a good win with the Byars kicking 6!!! All his hard work on the track is obviously paying off.. It is good to see Big Dall getting the rewards for the hard effort that he puts in.

[KingRich]

Probably some of the finest work that the Colac League thread has produced this year has occurred today boys so well done!

Good to see the Otway Dees firing on the back of D.Byars who I have heard has been working hard on his skills and fitness and in a specially designed regime that is sure to assist him in pulling chicks!

[thekid178]

7 goals to nil final 1/4 sees the mighty dees come home with the points, in what could prove to be the turning point of the season...

[KingRich]

Where does D.Byars get his nutrition and conditioning program from?? Any chance that he could start a website or write a book so we can all have an opportunity to fine tune our bodies?

is that why big dal is so deadly in front of goals? quick off the mark, loses his opponents with quick burst of speed?

[Rat_attack]

Rumors around the bay is that Young Tom Sutt is getting his chance! he has been elivated onto geelongs Sup-List, with geelong lacking alot of hardness at the ball and physical pressence they believe tom can really help then in that area, wouldn't be suprised to see him running around at 2bells on channel Ten!

hahaha.. Rumours are very incorrect

[Turtle_15]

the 12 goal win by the otways boys on the weekend was a good one. After losing the centre pivot david iainson in the 2nd qtr with a suspected broken ankle (it s broken) we struggled round the clearences, but luckly big dal fitness is paying off up forward kicking 4 for demons and big tom sutt pushing for that spot on the supp list was good again. and of course cant forget the awesome form of pete derbyshire down back quite inspiring.......

big game this week boys against the former captain get to training

[thekid178]

once again this week the boys in the otway midifeld with their relentless pressure set up plenty of scoring opportunities for beckett and the forward line boys. big dall just gets out on the lead and gets the job done duke style.


seriously though otway simpson game on the weekend used a sherrin 'match' footy... worst football ever used in a senior match? would not spin right no matter how u hit it. absolute floating sob.

may well have been the worst footy ever but u can't kick a good one anyway so y r u complaining?
by the way this dukes style u speak of i am yet to see this from the otway forwards beside beckett!!! the rest on the chest!!

maybe the t-train should get the forwards working on extending the jukes then turtle?, conggrat's the otways boys again on another stella performance. if i was the t-train i would be worried fleet footed byars taking his spot on the sup list. with derbs staring down back and the form of byars and tommy the boys seem unstopable, go otways!!!!

[thekid178]

with that kinda pace off the mark byars can just hug 'em in more often than not.

but when u lead by jogging with ur hand out cooper style then strong dukes becomes essential

[KOOROC12]

This byars bloke is not much chop played against him about 3 weeks ago and he only had pace to burn when he was running away from the ball which he did for the entire game.... not sure if he touched it actually.....

[TURTLE6]

This byars bloke is not much chop played against him about 3 weeks ago and he only had pace to burn when he was running away from the ball which he did for the entire game.... not sure if he touched it actually.....Ouch to this byars guy if he reads big footy he has been stung. Will be interested in how he goes for the rest of the year can people keep us posted on his stats. That is his real stats so we can see how he is actually going. Their is a lot of talk about him on this thread.

[ablett19]

This byars bloke is not much chop played against him about 3 weeks ago and he only had pace to burn when he was running away from the ball which he did for the entire game.... not sure if he touched it actually.....

Think Byars has let the footy do most of the talking KOOROC. Looking on recent form he has kicked a couple of bags. Saw him play first hand a couple of years ago, skills are immaculate. Played in the Geelong Falcons you know?? Bit of tall poppy syndrome there mate? Maybe you would like it better if we talked about your form in the midday movie???

[tomsut_69]

Good on KOOROC12 for putting some life in this thread! Prove him wrong Byars! Lets see this physical part of your game..

wam bam thank u mam, festivities have given way and KOOROC12 has thrown the great man into the turnbuckle, ouch!.maybe KOOROC12 is just jelous of the recent success the boys have had. im sure big dal will fight back and show KOOROC12 that actions speak louder than words. i dont think the t-train should encourage such banter as big dals recent form as been taking the best defender and freeing tommy up for the loose ball gets ive been told!, is that true?

Pretty tough for that to happen when they play at opposite ends. That sort of banter is exactly what we are after better than everyone sticking thier old fellas in their own ass or other guys ass on this thread. Lets have some quality information pass through on this thread and more interesting stuff. Good on you Kooroc12 for getting things going. P.s if you talk about yourself on this thread you better be able to back up

Turtle 6 is right, far from true. I suggest Sherman41 shouldn't comment unless he has his facts correct as he drags down the integrity of the thread and makes it look like a MCDFL thread.. now theres some crap on there.

[thekid178]

season defining game on the cards this week between otway and alvie. no love lost between the two sides with a fiery display last year resulting in a 20 match suspension being dealt out, and owtay's coach and captain from last year now in swans colours. the otway boys have been on a roll and will be looking to continue this form to set up a push for finals in the second half of the year.

predictions for round 11:

South Colac v FORREST
Apollo Bay v IRREWARRA-BEEAC
OTWAY DISTRICTS v Alvie
WESTERN EAGLES v Simpson
COLAC IMPERIALS v Birregurra
Bye - Lorne

U said it ablett19 "saw him play a few yrs ago" must have lost a heap from then cause he doesnt like touching the footy at all any more....... and from what a few mates from alvie said im right he hates the footy and didnt touch it again on the weeknd!!

[Sherman41]

i was mislead from previous info tommy, good to c your not crowding big dals forward line then. ill have u know thre mcdfl thread has an abundance of football knowledge and seems to be moving at a faster pace than other less interesting threads!

Take it easy mate the delivery to him wasnt the best on the weeknd still kicked 2 even tho he did miss the first one of the game... which i would have expected him to kick... but just take easy mate we gotta play u guys again yet he might kick 10 that week!!!

[Rat_attack]

Rumor Has it tom sut was worst on field on weekend! jumping at shaddows with some bigger bodies on the field he really went missing! Bit of Bad luck that with scouts from Geelong watching to see if he could Cut the Sup-List. better luck next year TOM

Well whos fault is that then if the delivery wasnt any good, and there is not a chance of he kicking 10 turtle_15 cause he hasnt had 10 kicks for the year yet.

[Turtle_15]

Good Stat Kid! You have some explaining to do Kooroc!

[KOOROC12]

it would be most impressive to have 10 kicks for the year and kick 21 goals wouldn't it???

Yeah it would be actually quite impressive, well because you are in such good form and probably the best player to ever ever wear the demons jumper i thought if anyone could kick 21 goals from 10 kicks it would be you and why havent u been winning game off your own boot then??? ill tell why ya havent becuase ya too slow and affraid of to get the hard ball oh and did i mention selfish...

[KOOROC12]

Good Stat Kid! You have some explaining to do Kooroc!

[tomsut_69]

Anyway besides all the other crap that is being said here.

Halfway through the season, might be a time for a bit of a review?!

I welcome comments...

(As the Ladder Sits)

Lorne - Have not lost game! Really the surprise team of the season, have a great mix of players, don't really seem to base their game around anyone, all of them seem to be prepared to run hard and push for each other.. Their younger players seem to have all stepped up from the U/17 GF side last year.

Irrewarra\Beeac - Their heavy recruitment of players seems to have paid off. They have quality forward options and the best ruckman in the league by a mile to give their on-ballers first use. They are a skillful side and will be there at the end of Sept.

Forrest- Still rate these guys highly.. Probably should be the most physical side in the comp, looking forward to their match against Lorne again, just think a experienced physical side could beat Lorne. They have good key position players, pity none of them come from Forrest, but that just seems the trend of today's country footy.

Imperials- Beck and Hall have been prized recruits this season, I know Hall has kicked some bags, but not sure of his form against the better sides. They have had a lot of injuries this year that I know of. Have a really good group of players to build a successful side with, need to take the next step..but in saying this the top 5 sides bar Lorne are seperated by 2 games.

Apollo Bay- Injuries seem to have hurt the Bayers worse than anyone else, after having Liam, Luke & Rhani Buchannan in the same side as Seecamp, they were favourites for the flag surely, but injuries to key players such as Holt, Liam B and Perma seemed to have hurt them badly. But any team with Tate up forward just has to give it to him and they would be a chance for sure.

Alvie- Was on the fringe at the start of the year, but recruited a few handy players, certainly no lack of talls, with a good supply of ruckman, which will prove handy later in the season. Kelly is unstoppable when the ball is given to him right, fast, strong, agile and a great kick for goal, his handball must be no good, never saw it :D .They have great kids who run the ball so well, they kick to space and rarely clog up their forward line, their half backs are great rebounders.

Otway- Mixed season. Play goodfootball for 2 or 3 quarters and then go missing. Have lost over a doezen quality senior players from last years side. The side is very inexperienced and relies heavily on half a dozen players each week, the side is definitely improving each week as the younger kids gain confidence which is really good to see. Beckett is a class above the rest.Has rough draw.

Birregurra- The Saints are travelling as expected probably, they have a few key players who are very good players, but when they are down or not on the park it makes it very difficult. A resilent young side, which seems to give it their all regardless of the scoreboard.

Simpson- Simliar to Otway, have lost a of players, and quality ones too. They are a proud club which is also evident in their games, lack options up forward when Fleming is down too. Shawcross in the ruck will go all day and provide a contest around the game.

South Colac- Are a extremely young side, had a upset win against Otway early on in the year. Jenkins and McNamara are solid in the middle and is where ever he plays. Will be looking to build towards next year with a developing list if they can keep it

Western Eagles- Eagles try hard, but they lack in every department. Batters is a great ruckman, but needs a rest everynow and then. They very limited options, very young side also. Will be a good club in coming years.

[KOOROC12]

tempers flaring could be an outburst well and truly on the way, ill have u know kooroc that the kid is a very good football player and gerbals like u should just grab your dole payment and shut the hell up. go otways.

stick to what you no mate which is obviously not much have you even seen the kid play before? cause i guessing that ya havent, so you should be the one shutting up mate.. or get ya facts straight one or the other..

and ablett19 i couldnt care if he can get a kick needs one in the head i think..;)

[ablett19]

Reveal yourself KOOROC. Then we will get to see how good a player you are... Instead of just slagging off Otway boys on this thread...

[thekid178]

not a bad review tomsut, i think that all rang true in the weekends matches, with appollo bay again showing their frailties through injury and otway putting in 3 quarters against irrewarra/beeac.

I'm with you talent scout. I'm actually looking at moving to the area before christmas and check out this thread to see what happens footy wise, sort of keeping my eye out for a club but I don't know anything about any club other than Otways. Got a mate that lives in the area and I will probably play wherever he plays but still I might not. Is there many employment opportunities down that way?

well mate, there is bulla dairy foods, two massive plants that do all the ice creams and yoghurts, 4 or 5 timber mills, an abbattiors that employs heaps, heaps of builders, don't really know what field your looking for..

not a bad review tomsut, i think that all rang true in the weekends matches, with appollo bay again showing their frailties through injury and otway putting in 3 quarters against irrewarra/beeac. Yes pretty good review Tom. Agree that the best way to beat Lorne is to play a physical brand of footy and Forrest have the guys to do that so that will be an interesting match coming up.

Yeah beck gets a lot of it, don't think Hall has hit his straps yet.. As mates from GFL have rated him a lot higher than what I saw.. but must remember he is getting older I spose.. They will go ok, not sure if they will go to the last game, they haven't played finals in about 3 years i think.

Well you might say that, but they were lucky to be there also last year, mcvilly is probably not on the track enough to have a major influence in a season. He did take a couple good guys with him, Scott Mills goes ok too.
They lost of lot of players too, I think the management of the club and mcvilly had differences too

[carntheblue&whitehoops]

management? i thought his brother was the president? who is their coach this season?

It was in the papers that there was a disagreement, so that is why he went to Imps. Brian Sweeney i think is coaching this year
