Was wondering why the CHFL doesn't do a Team of the Year? Would be interesting to see their side? A lot of leagues are now doing this, it also makes a boring vote count night a little bit more interesting.

[Betterthenbencoon]

What a difference Ben Coon makes to the Clunes unit, his return to the Pies has sparked a winning run home, a champion country player for sure. The Maggies will have a big job keeping him playing next year though, the Mrs may put the foot down, now he's 30 and all. Still a champion player.

Who is this imposter? Although, Coon is a handy player and will make a difference to Clunes with a big pre season under the belt. :thumbsu:

Almost time to concede, how good are Waubra. That was unbelievable!! Dodds was a star.
Nicholson is probably going to miss another Grand final after kicking Redan into the granny last year. dont tell me he will have to go down to lexton plains. (with AJ)
Bit worried about towners, rckon we can hold em wil be tough speed is a worry.

46 points down with 1 second to play in the 2nd quarter. snap at goal waubra point 45 point half time margin. waubra kicked 6 to 1 in the third to bring it back to just 2 goals at 3 qtr time but had to kick into the breeze last quarter. daylesford opened the gap out to 25 points at one stage but due to a red hot paul dodds waubra managed to fight back against all odds. great win. we should be set for a great grand final in 2 weeks

Can someone let me know if waubra has that same rule as last year with keeping off the piss till after the grand final, cause knowing luke archbald and actually seeing him in action in an old local pub the other sunday night i thought they must not have the same rule in again

There's no doubt about you Tommy. You drink every friday before a game, and you get to the end of your year, knocked out of the finals, and on your mad monday your sitting at a computer. You boys really must have had a big day.

Danny Liston i think will return.. big inclusion!

Who will win this weekend? Last time they played Daylesford won (16.6 to 7.18). I heard Lee Cox kicked something like 1.7. Perhaps Hepburn could get over the line if they kick straight this time?

Daylesford would have to go in as firm favourites, however they were considered favourites in last years prelim and went down.

[bungareepremiers06]

dodds was very quiet first half but wa instrumental in the second half. guess the daylesford boys were unlucky to lose his name off thier matchup board before the game.
the daylesford supporters weren't too bad. much better than thier friends on the other side of the creek however there was a few poor umpiring decisions which they let the umpires know about but yeh overall not to bad.
i think last years daylesford side is nothing on this year and will wipe hepburn by 10 goals. hoping for a bloodbath though!!

[tud34]

Is Robbo up to his old tricks again???

Word is that Shepard may be right to play tomorrow after his injury 2 weeks ago, but no mention of him on the team sheet......

I guess we will have to wait and see.

As a start, I'd get rid of Dodds and put Handley in there.

You'd think Nicholson would have to be starting FF considering Brown kicked less goals in a side that gives him every opportunity to kick 10 a week.

Hard to see how Luke Adams would be on the ball when (as far as i believe) he plays 90% of his footy on the back-flank picking up a lot of cheap kicks. Not saying he's not a gun, but anyone who has watched him play knows he gets a lot of easy kicks.

I'd get rid of Orwin on the bench, put Winduss on the pine, and include Tranquilli in the pocket.

Ok, ive played all year and i can tell you that Luke has not played off half back all year.... either on the ball, pushed fwd or rotated off the bench. Never hav i seen his magnet on the half back line of our whiteboard.

That team is fairly close to the money. I agree that Nicholson has had an outstanding year considering he wouldnt get the best delivery in the league.

Team of the year...what a wank. There isn't anyone that is qualified to comment on who would be in such a team. Unlike the AFL, all 14 teams play at the same time, and to my knowledge, there isn't much video footage floating around of the home and away games. Some of the players mentioned above were terrible when I saw them, but I'm sure they played well on their day.

I agree. A lot of the names mentioned are simply included because of their performance in previous years. For instance, sources at waubra suggest that Ryan Allan's year was nowhere near his efforts in 2006. He's not the only one, just the 1st name that came to mind.

And as for Adams not playing on the back-flank, he must've been named on the forward-flank against clunes but then got confused about what end they were kicking coz he certainly played half-back in that game (picking up about 40 possessions).

U sure about that mate? He does push back to defence a lot when he's on the ball. The ball was hardly in Clunes' forward line for the entire match anyway and were lucky to even score that rushed behind in the last 20 seconds of the game!

Yeah mate, positive. And it's not as if this was the 1st time i had seen Luke play that role - in fact i think the reason why he is so accomplished at reading the ball across backline is from all the practice he got when it got pumped in there 100 times a game back in the days when Daylesford got beaten by 30 goals a game.

I think you would be suprised at how much Luke plays in the midfield and up forward, as his impressive goal kicking tally indicates he is not always down back. He does a very impressive amount of running for a man of his age, and works hard for many of his possessions.

[Milky13]

i find it rather, ironic i think is the word, that after the siren off the daylesford waurbra match that a few hepburnians turned around and put there hands to there throught. now correct me if im wrong but that spells chockers...hmmm

Thats a fair point Monkey and my team is just an opinion. However I have seen 22 CHFL games so far this year, including 9 Hepburn games, 7 Waubra games, and 6 Daylesford games so I based my selections on what I saw and a bit on what I've been told by others. The only team that I didn't get to see at least once was Creswick. I'm sure that people could make a case for probably 20 other blokes to be named.

Off Season I disagree with you that there are players in on reputation. If I was picking on reputation I would have guys like Sheppard, Uhi, Reid, Knowles, O'Keeffe, Gilbert etc in there. On Handley, to be honest I completely forgot about him and in hindsight I would definately have him in my 22, but not at the expense of Dodds - probably Orwin.

I put Brown and Cox in the key fwd spots ahead of Nicholson because in 4 games against Creswick, Beaufort and Gordon Bryce kicked 45 of his 98 goals and in 5 outings against the top 3 teams could only manage 9 in total. Still a great effort to kick 98 though and thats why he's in my 22.

Shaun is a great player but I believe the guys I picked in the on ball spots had better years than him. In the Waubra games I saw I thought his brother Tim played the better footy.

There is no doubt about it he's is a big game player, if anyone has been hurting because of the alcohol ban it is definately been Teddy B (not to mention the spring carnival could be cncelled due to the equine influenza) Dont be too suprised if he takes out his frustration on the Bulldogs at Austar this weekend.

If Daylesford are ever going to win a flag it has to be this year. They conquered all before them during the H&A season, but all that will be forgotten if they fail this weekend.

The good weather they're predicting and the big ground should suit the fast paced Waubra side and with the knowledge that they've been there and done it all before, I'm tipping Waubra by 2-4 goals.

[behind da shedz]

Ingram, coon, allen for clunes ny good????? coz when i saw them play for carngham they were ordinary waste of money!!! Clunes must of wanted some usless blokes to sit on the bench nd cut oranges.

Do you think that would be enough players to get them off the bottom. I mean everyone picked them as the big improvers this year with the new coach and all and they still could only manage 1 win.

Besides. I doubt they would be able to afford the McGuigan's anyway, judging by what Chris cost Learmonth. He would've been pretty expensive $$ per kick wouldnt he?

He obivsouly didnt have as good of season as last but was carryin an ankle injury for half the season all excuses aside i thought his leadership was excellant and expect him an his brother to do big things out there next year and hopefully this time next yr there celebrating mad monday with a premiership cup in there hands.

[Off Season]

Now that the season is over it's time for some end of season awards:

Biggest disappointment: Bungaree - much was expected pre-season with a new high-profile coach and a large list of additions, but at season's end it appears they are still a long way off the top 3-4 teams. Tied in 2nd place is Learmonth (similar story to Bungaree) & Gordon (can't they at least become competitive?).

Biggest surprise: Dunnstown - exceeded a lot of expectations by progessing to the 2nd week of finals in a season where many thought Ballan, Learmonth & Bungaree would jump ahead of them

Most overrated: Ryan Knowles (Bung) - it must be easy to look good in a premiership team becuase when i saw knowles play this year (2-3) games he wasn't very impressive.

Most underrated: Louis Franc (Spr) - for a bloke that looks as though he's 50 years old, he can still play the game very, very well. Would be a ripper in a top 5 side.

Thoughts??

[bungareepremiers06]

not bad at all. louis franc is a beaufort man tho if im not mistaken??

Enough with the sour grapes mate. Every year a couple of blokes miss out on playing in a granny. Some just take it better than others. You're not doing your mate any favours by getting on here and taking cheap shots. Archie was replaced by Danny Liston...not Brown.

Yeah good on ya mate.

According to a number of reliable sources their decision had absolutely nothing to do with C/L's on-field prospects - good or bad - rather it was a decision based on principle (ie. they were no longer willing to associate themselves with a club that held such little regard for on-field ethics & conduct).

And by reading the LPFL thread and speaking to the general footballing community in Ballarat, they're not the only ones either.

Hepburn Premiers 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ALL RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[behind da shedz]

Yeah good on ya mate.

According to a number of reliable sources their decision had absolutely nothing to do with C/L's on-field prospects - good or bad - rather it was a decision based on principle (ie. they were no longer willing to associate themselves with a club that held such little regard for on-field ethics & conduct).

And by reading the LPFL thread and speaking to the general footballing community in Ballarat, they're not the only ones either.

I'm sick of all you know all's that get on your soap box and winge and wine about clubs like C/L, Hepburn, Sunbry, etc. just because they are successful and winning premierships unlike your clubs you have to sook it up maybe if you stop sooking and worried bout playin footy like those clubs you wouldnt have to worry bout them so....
STOP SOOKING AND GET A LIFE!!!! :mad::thumbsd:

Way off the mark mate, 'sooking' is much an inaccurate term. The three clubs you drew upon have much reason for being disliked, on and off field incidents that cannot go ignored have added to these clubs tainted reputations, the fact that the three clubs have enjoyed success is irrelevant, frankly if you look at the cashflow of those three clubs it is clear why. Do you hear people 'sooking' about clubs like Waubra? Redan? East Point? No, why? Because they are well run, well goverened clubs with good ethics and few undesirable on and off field incidents. IMO Ballan has the worst reputation in Ballarat and district football, so puts your theory that people try to taint succesful clubs by 'sooking' into question.

Since you seem quite the expert name some incidents on/off feild that these three clubs have been in??? i'll be happy when i'm proven right or wrong!

Everybody on this site knows the on/off field troubles of these clubs so i'd be surprised if anyone bothered to write a list just to please you. Secondly the Clunes players left C/L for reasons other than success as i know one of them fairly well

This bloke is a definite dill. The thing that really concerns me is that behind the shedz has put his location as Avoca. We might not be the sharpest tools in the shed but I can assure everybody that this character has no affiliation with the Avoca club nor does he come from anywhere near Avoca. Please be mindful of this as this fellow has the potential to portray Avoca in a bad light.

listen mate, and all you other people who are having a crack a c/l.. ill put it out there that im an lpfl fan, not a player but i support carngham more than any other team as i have mates playing there..
i dont know much about hepburn or sunbury, but you low lifes that like takin the piss out of carngham wouldn know what any of the officials are doing with this club.. sure carngham have done some stupid things on field, but none of you would know anything that goes on inside that club.. no one states what illabrook or any other club has done wrong this year just because they're unsuccessful! so why dont youcome down to the club and see what its like????

[Astro Boy]

You guys must have cleaned up your act since you left the bfl to be on your high horse about reputations of sunbury hepburn etc. Still got a few thugs on your list who from what i'm told havent changed at all.

Considering that was about 10 years ago and the people involved with that mess that tarnished the club havent been at the club for about that time, that is the most irrelevant post Ive seen in a long time. Stop living in the past (its so long ago no1 gives a rats). Why not get on our high horse, our club has be built up from basically scratch when we could been dead and buried and is in a stronger position than its ever been. And now we have a premiership. So piss off.

Oh and by the way.....u2 are F***wits

Agreed.... DFord would be prob easily the biggest town in the comp which gives it plenty of advantages over other sides. Good luck to them for winning it though... you still have to get the job done.

Rumour has it that a couple AFL clubs looking for a ruckman are seriously contemplating drafting Beaufort big man Richard Fleahy, with his tap work being compared to that of Freo giant Aaron Sandilands.
