WRFL Division 2

[Tony Delaney]

Depends on how you look at it. Playing crap teams is probably not the best preparation for a tough finals series. I'd rather play more quality teams. If your aim is to win the grand final then you need to beat the best teams all year. Having an easy draw might give you a few extra wins and help you make the finals but finals footy usually sorts it all out pretty quickly (look at Wyndemvale this year).

I agree, if you are going to win it you have to beat everyone and the match hardness and conditioning by playing the harder sides should hold teams in good stead for finals.

Only thing it does do though is it makes the teams with an easy draws tilt at the flag a bit easier if it helps them to a double chance position. Then a bit of luck with injuries at the right time and these teams are half way to a grand final.

I suppose like WVale and West last year the benefits of playing an easier year cost them both in finals as playing stronger teams is a lot different to 30 goal wins over lower teams.

Two came in for a drink Timmsy who plays hard but as Dekka says what happens on the ground, and one supporter. Low, weak as piss, dogs. Heights and Nth have a rivalry also but after the game whichever ground most have a drink. When Charlie played his 1600th game Heights hung around for well over the hour.

As for the glass, the person who cleans weapons up even if he is runner, will get a years drinks on the house. lol not

come on boys............ wont be around next year so u can stick your ******** glass up your ass..........

is ive said before i go in for a sip after games even heights ask gretto and nick if i had a sip with them this year...........

why dont you like me tony have i done sumthing wrong to u??????

and for nth what happend after the game last year in the firsts no wonder we didnt go back in it was the seconds last game and they always sit together and have a few froffies and for the bald headed bloke to come over and start throwing cut lunches in the crowd what a tosser...........

my family has got a pretty big history at nth footscray and will always respect the club any club for that matter except the power and the tigers

[w.weapons]

Had a good look at the draw. Seems like the same teams get the best of the draw again.. going on results from last year (before finals) W'vale clearly have the best draw followed by West Footscray. Braybrook, Deer Park and Gladstone Park seem to have the worst of it.

Weapons where are you??? 19th of May..... The Pensioners will need to start doing their stretches now to be ready!!!!!


computer problems banger back on and in full voice lol

deer parks ground is even worse off than last year wont be up come footy season no way............

suspended for a year not even coaching the young punks............

Played at jets in under 16s with him and also at Altona in juniors with him heard his footy has gone downhill big time since then played Full Forward and kicked 100 goals in under 16s for altona but we had a pretty awesome team back then hope that helps Why You Ask?

[kangaman06]

Bumped into a mate during the Xmas madness and told me that Braybrook look like they might be losing Mark Sophoulis to Wang. Rovers and that the Caruso boys (Robbie and Marc) are heading back to their roots and playing at East Keilor and not heading down to Braybrook anymore.
I asked him if he was shattered about this but he said nope because they had 3 or 4 guys come down from Sunshine Kangaroos - apparently a good sized CHF and a CHB - anyone from the Kangaroo's know who they are? No names were mentioned so a bit of a mixed result for the Brookers there. Would have thought they would try pretty hard to keep Sophoulis. Classy player who reads the play well and just a good team player.

Are Braybrook a chance this year? It is so tough to predict how they might go. They were rubbish last year, but played with great determination. That Pearce is some footballer.

[all-eyes-on-me]

i spoke 2 a braybrook player over chrismas and he thinks there a real chance this year. said training has been a little low on numbers but the boys that had rocked up had been doing a lot of ball work. they think there skill errors was there biggest let down last year.

biggest thing for the brookers was that most of their players left and went to central altona there were some senior footballers as well that went to the tigers so it seems to me attitude was their biggest problem cant see them improving in a hurry yer maybe got a few newbies but where is the money coming from????????nth sunshine will win more games is my opinion.................

[PAUL3232]

Nth Sunshine are getting about 4-6 players back from Yarraville including Frank Staffieri big pick up, when his mind is right one of the best CHF going around.

Yeah Staffieri is a class player. Have you heard who else may returning to NSunshine from Yarraville?:confused:

[Tony Delaney]

They would need 4 to 6 just to be competetive, although they wern't the worst in 06. Amazing what happens when the money dries up. Premiers to A1's to A2's part rabble in a few short years.

What club are you with Paul 3232

Pearce is a good footballer and a good bloke too.

Braybrook always play with some form of spirit, misplaced and uncontrolled spirit at times.

The coach is a good bloke and is going the right way with the kids trying to build a team rather than buy one which they have done in the past. Only concern will be if the money starts coming in again they will rush out and buy 15 players who as history shows don't hang around then all the good work the coach has done will go out the window.

i know that w.f.g has got permission to water 4 times a week
deer parks ground is in terrible nick cant see why they are still playing cricket on it................

dunno but my info is that the wrfl have given the clubs 3 different fixtures...

the normal season.........if grounds are in good nick
another 1 is that cause of grounds being in bad condition playing on 4 grounds which are to be watered playing fri night sat and sun seniors only no ressies or jnrs.........
the last is for the season to start later in winter when the rain comes more often and teams to play each other once,a shorter season basicaly..
this would be the more suitable 1 i think could work and be fair.....

i suppose this all depends on a whole range of things..........

any thoughts...........

[unit27]

Laverton Park is still looking green at the moment.... Im not sure if they have permission to water it but regardless it is still looking green enough for football.

Not sure about Centrals and Brunswick but Laverton will feild 2 sides .. at training b4 christmas we were getting 30 players on the tack quite frequently, if the reserves team isnt filled which i think it will be anyway but if not then they will bring a couple of under 18's up like in 2006 to fill the spots.

Coaches have been appointed for the Seniors and Under 18's ..

i could do that for u if u seriously want me too but who cares i dont as long as we are winning every thing is bags of wheat.............

and i definately know what you mean that we need young kids in the side but we just dont have them(quality ones any way) i coached the u/14s last year and we had 32 players wich isnt a good number but managed any way,until this group of kids comes through the ranks we wont have any u/18's and im being fair dinkum with u there.............yes some people at the club have said that we will have 18's this year which is good but from previouse years its highly unlikly........

Yes you just need to work with what you have. Everyone needs something Heights need more talls which looks rectified, some need more youth/pace, more forwards, more hard at the ball players etc.

Age has its advantages with experience etc although history has shown that at out level it catches up with most sides as older players get injured more ( how many games do 18 to 25 yo's miss compared to 30 to 35 yo's), slow down as the legs get weary at the end of the year and the big finals grounds hit. 30 to 35 yo's tend not to be as fit as younger players probably relying on the footy brain to get them by. Should be a very interesting year.

Goes bang are the council watering Heights as it looks green.

thank christ i got something good out of u............i was waiting for your reply.........
yer fair enough
about the old blokes i think its how the coaching staff look after them and have them fit and raring to go about 3 or 4 rounds out of finals and have another good crack at it........i think we would do allright if every 1 fit and available 4 rounds going in to finals providing we are in the right spot on ladder...........double chance has to be the main focus this year if i was coach...................

Not sure what the council is doing but the grass is looking ok.... I think the boys are ducking over to the ground instead of using the urinal over at the Glengala whenever they go over for a pot... and if u know a few of the boys u would know that's a lot of pi$$ing!!!

The big grounds are a concern come finals time, but you can carry about 5 guys aged over 30. Obviously it depends on things such as size, position they play, speed etc. North Footscray have a few veterans who have been terrific footballers at this level and can still carry on in 07 if they wish.

Jason Barry (forward), Craig Thomson (forward/wing), Ian "Scratcher" Allen (wing/midfield)... plus one or two others

You don't want 5 slow veterans, but if you disperse them in different roles, then if they are good enough it shouldn't matter. Balance is they key!

yes good points red devil.......
the 4 or 5 guys that are playing at deer park all of them played 1st division last year for different clubs and are previous deer park players and are all different types of players both forwards and backs so im sure they can play a big role in what the lions want to achieve........even if they dont play in the ones its gonna strgthen the twos which would be good for the club.......

Wouldn't want to bet on that as Lions are red hot favourites and should win. Like I said before the pressure is on you, if we beat you it will be a bonus.

As for finding out your 3 names all it took was that I just happened to read one days posts and even a dill could work it out, oh you probably couldn't have but most could.

As for Jenkins one of my close friends worked overseas with him, I don't personally know him but know a lot about him. Noy has played football around the nth and west for a fair while on and off. If you must know I met him years ago through a dog club and being involved in football I tend to take an interest in others I meet that are also into football. You also know Jenkins and Noy so you must be in the police too. Dill.

Like I said if you put a big enough wager on it, otherwise stop boring me.

As for football Centrals out for good, Brunswick in at this stage but I think it will depend on fees being paid etc.

How are A2 grounds looking. Can any be watered, I heard Albanvale. Heights ground looks ok at this stage.

What do you do for work any way pie boy as you seem facinated with what I do. If you knew what I did you would see that it isn't nearly as high profile as what people keep guessing I do.

As for you speculator, if you are jhonny 100 instructions at once I would hope if I ever coached that I could coach back to back flags by myself not on someone elses coat tails and don't mention your time at Albanvale as succesfull, you should have won it two or three times so keep quoting your Preliminaries all you like because they were actually failures.

From that rap maybe it was you on his coat tails. Suppose that explains why you have never been appointed coach on your own, no faith.

Wouldn't be too sure that I will never have or had premiership success and yes he must have improved although I am told the multiple instructions continue. A coach is only as good as his players you must remember. eg Alan Joyce is also a premiership coach. I doubt I will ever have to worry about having a good coaching record because I don't need the head aches.

I will keep an eye out for little Scotty and hopefully am in the seniors by round 6 although I will have more chance of being close up if I am over the boundary line. Hopefully his hard as nails, tough man of the WRFL dad is not there because he is very scary, or at least he thinks he is.

Kerplunk, another mis-guided post sarg, althought I find your post amusing. You are managing to keep your id a secret and good luck to you but we all wouldn't mind hearing some background to your seeming faltless football pedigree.

Seeing as I am at the oppisite end to your work, I will continue on with this line of inqury. If you are the soft gloved wearing coach of heights good luck to you , if not....only time will tell inspecter...have a good day...need a nap now after another big night of the job.

Trying to be witty doesn't really have the same impact when you are not really all that literate. At least I know who you are now judging by the growing emotion in your posts junior boy/Alan Joyce.

Heights had around 28 second night didn't make the first. Am told it was around 20. About 10 senior pick ups including a recent comp b and f winner and recent comp leading goal kicker amongst them. Who are you with all eyes on me and give us some details of how your club is going.

The Devils are back at training on the 31/1. We have picked up an no.1 ruckman and are still waiting on confirmation of a few more players (very close to signing). I reckon we will have approximately 6-8 (hard to be exact) new senior players and only lose 2 from last year's outfit. We had 15 players under 23 years old in our final's loss to West Footscray, so hopefully these players will also improve.

[all-eyes-on-me]

hay champ im new 2 north footscray!! they havnt started training yet dont start till 31st. 10 snr pick ups is huge would really be looking forward 2 a big year then.

10 senior pick ups hey...

Tony you always seem to stick your head out..... Why not name these players. If you have picked them up as you say, and they have singed.... it wont matter if there names are listed here as they will be heights players.

[w.weapons]

Wouldn't want to bet on that as Lions are red hot favourites and should win. Like I said before the pressure is on you, if we beat you it will be a bonus.

As for finding out your 3 names all it took was that I just happened to read one days posts and even a dill could work it out, oh you probably couldn't have but most could.

As for Jenkins one of my close friends worked overseas with him, I don't personally know him but know a lot about him. Noy has played football around the nth and west for a fair while on and off. If you must know I met him years ago through a dog club and being involved in football I tend to take an interest in others I meet that are also into football. You also know Jenkins and Noy so you must be in the police too. Dill.

Like I said if you put a big enough wager on it, otherwise stop boring me.

As for football Centrals out for good, Brunswick in at this stage but I think it will depend on fees being paid etc.

How are A2 grounds looking. Can any be watered, I heard Albanvale. Heights ground looks ok at this stage.

What do you do for work any way pie boy as you seem facinated with what I do. If you knew what I did you would see that it isn't nearly as high profile as what people keep guessing I do.

As for you speculator, if you are jhonny 100 instructions at once I would hope if I ever coached that I could coach back to back flags by myself not on someone elses coat tails and don't mention your time at Albanvale as succesfull, you should have won it two or three times so keep quoting your Preliminaries all you like because they were actually failures.

your making me laugh even more now red nut...............or should i say dill....lol
a chippy tony working hard always in the building industry...........
so the greyhound trainers suits then...................lol

so your talking heights up with ten new players but wont bet on the game confidence is what i like and you aint got none which is good coming into the new season..............


go the lions go scotty balshaw..........premiers 2007..........lol

Not really sticking my head out. Heights will be competetive that I know and thats as far as it goes. Apart from that the season will unfold as it does and many factors come into account as to whether a side ends up being serious contenders or not.

There is really no such thing as signing because clearances cant go in yet and as we don't pay we dont do contracts. As for naming them common sense would suggest not, as other sides offering large sums may come sniffing around once they know a player is changing clubs. Players returning to the club are Abela, Woods, Greto they are safe obviously. Others are 4 from A1's being a forward, CHB, HB and on baller, 1 HF from GFL, 2 25yo's from GFL havn't played for 2 years one HF one HB/on baller and at this stage 4 from Div 2 being a CHF, wing/on baller, on baller, HF and a rover from the Ballarat league. So my figures were wrong the actual figure is 15. Whether they all end up playing good senior football or all end up playing at all remains to be seen. We have all been around long enough to know that there will probably be 3 or 4 new senior players come before the season and some of the 14 mentioned wont eventuate. We have also picked up Nick Mallia is a sense as he has only played the minimum games the last couple of years as he has been travelling. This year he is committed to a full season and hasn't missed a session. Having known Nick all of his life this is the most focussed I have seen.

So yes many new faces, all the old have come back in good shape and are keen but I guess all sides are the same at this time of year, What club are you with crackatinny.

lololololol yer and he might not be at training on thursday nights due to work commitments

[Think Big]

A little quite at Albanvale - externally that is - hear quite a bit of activity that will cause a great impact in Division 2 : -

Is it true that NICKY WINMAR has signed ? Even though a shoulder injury sidelined him from Rutherglen's final campaign last season surely the 41 year old star would have a monsterous impact in Division 2 - would it put any pressure on Allan Williams first year coach with Winmar playing ?

Also belive Winmar's teammates and cousins from Rutherglen may follow him - Lorrence Farmer ( grand son of Polly Farmer - and Cameron Winmar.

Secondly believe also with a Ballarat & Bendigo Leagues starting late that Albanvale have lined up a couple of 4 week deals for 3 or 4 players to get their match fitness in place - perhaps the old adage of a foot in the door will persuade these players to stay ?

All in all sounds like Albanvale will be quick out the blocks this season _ question is will they be able to sustain the pace ?

and all these players are gonna travel for nothing come on tony be fair dinkum mate if they arnt getting paid what is the club doing for them??????

Never said an A2 or A1 comp winner or even WRFL. I can assure that he won a comp in the last 3 years. So no old codger if he was you would have him signed already at Deer Park. I can safely say that out of the possible recruits the only ones 30 plus are Woods who is 30 I think Abela is 30 and one of the others is around 29-30.

Flat track bully as Paul no club eluded to being Stevie Lane is playing at West with his son.

Comeback perhaps, havn't played for about 5 years, having played 2 years of soccer in between. Have always been around the club though. All going well with work (small chance may have to go i/state for 6 months) I will be playing whether it be seniors or reserves is out of my hands.

Glad that you will be in full voice. Look forward to it. Either be seing you in the reserves or seniors as a runner. You probably shouldn't be called runner either. You do move in a forward motion but it's not really running lets be real.

[Tony Delaney]

Heard Azza might be going to to Heights what are the chances of that happening, if so start stocking up on the oil, you will need it

Azza says he wont play under Bomber but told me he is coming back for sure and likes Bomber. If you know the guy you will know that sounds like him. Having known him since he first came to Heights my guess is no. He is all over the shop. Saying that he is likely to just turn up one night out of the blue. I know some of the boys are talking to him.

He is a good player quick and carries the ball but for every 10 good things he does he does 8 bad things. So a bit of taking the good with the bad I suppose.

You don't know that we have gained from Central although we obviously have a good connection there. I do know that 2 that were coming in Vicuccia and MJ went to west after the money. Should be interesting with MJ playing with the club who racially abuse him every time he plays against them and not many if any other Lebanese players there. Amazing what money does.

Honest - none from Yarraville.

If you figure out the other two which I don't think is possible then I will answer truthfully but until then won't worry about naming them. Ask goesbangfrom 50 he might be able to name them but I am not going to.

Course not just makes it easier to relate and know where a person is coming from. I get the impression you know a bit about Albanvale and Nth Sunshine.

I can recommend that if you are over 34 then Deer Park would love to have you. If you want to chase money and play with a bunch of pretty boy soft players have a look at West. If you want to play with a group of good blokes who love playing football because they love the game and want to play with mates then come down to Ainsworth Mondays and Thursdays. If you were just hanging s h i t then good on you.

Describe the player who plays on you, I want to get a laugh.

Thats true that I would get kicks following a good player around. I am tipping if I am playing A2 reserves and following around the back pocket from the opposition then things are probably not going too well in my comeback is it. Time to turn back to the round ball on Sundays I would say.

Your under 30 love your footy so theres a start to fitting in at Heights. Have you got greyhounds, chickens or pigeons. Seriously though we have a drink with the opposition after the game as it should be so you probably wouldn't like that. Also you probably enjoy the pressure of being red hot favourites for a flag where winning one is the only acceptable outcome for 2007. At Heights we just like to have a kick and see how we go.

Grey hound already you wont have to pay membership.

Figured out who the player was. You only kicked 3 on him and he only got dragged 3 times he must have went well that week. Am laughing though he is slower than bear from your club. I can picture you sprinting to him before the game and leaving the other back pocket for dead.
