anyone have tips for round 9 in div 2 ?? - match of the day would have to be the albanvale / west footscray clash @ bruce reserve - two real premiership contenders - albanvale might sneak thru at home for my liking, unless big laney kicks a bag (7-8g)
My Tips
Albanvale vs West Footscray
Central Altona vs Wyndhamvale
Coburg vs Braybrook
Deer Park vs Western Magpies
Glenorden vs Nth Sunshine
Nth Footscray vs Gladstone Park
Sunshine Heights vs Brunswick Power

Albanvale in that 1 for me. West rely too much on Lane, Cubella and Mcghie. Cubella is at the world cup and Albanvale have enough good players to cover 2 forwards.
Does anyone know anything about Baines from West. He is in the best every week?
had a look on the wrfl website and he has been in the best everyweek except one game v Gladdy.
whos the bloke they call Crawf, he plays in the middle, is that M.Baines?

Nth Footscray vs Gladstone Park
Sunshine Heights vs Brunswick Power
Albanvale- cubella out and home ground advantage
Centrals- because of home ground only
Deer Park- too much class
Orden- two big recognised forward to kick a good winning score
Devils- by plenty, shephard can only do so much
Sunny heights- pencil greto in for 10

Brent Hall is in the reserves purely because he is lazy. Spoke to a Deer Park player and said that even though he is super talented (90 goals one season in the firsts) he just simply couldnt be bothered. Took himself off at 3/4 time today after botting 8 goals, because he couldnt be ****ed out there.

They dont have any $$$ left ..... and the players that got them to Div 1 were only at the club for the cash!
Was at Magpies Match yeaterday and they lost by 201 points, and just saw that Brunswick lost by 401 points.
2 Questions to ponder.
Would Western Magpies beat Brunswick Power next time they play in Round 17 at Laverton?
And who is the worst, Western Magpies or Brunswick.
Last year I played against both, and I have got to say that Brunswick is by far the worst team in the league. But things have changed this year. I have gone down to U'18's again so from what I have seen this year I'd still say the Magpies are still a tad better than the Power.

Give Brunswick Power some credit that they got a goal, who was the goal kicker??? I wonder and how many blokes from Sunshine Heights kicked goals. How many you guys have in the WRFL 21 or 22 players per team?? Possible that eveyone kicked a least a goal
Are Brunswick Power the worst football team in Australia???

Brunswick kicked the goal when they got a centre clearance and a Heights Player swore (to himself) and got sent off. Umpire awarded Brunswick a free kick and a 50m penalty...
20 players scored a goal. The one that missed out was an U18's player that came up to the ones and got injured before half time. He got stripped and didnt come back out after that!!
half of Brunswicks teams have to play 2 games ... poor bastards!!

Did any Under 18's players play for the Western Magpies seniors on Saturday? , i heard that the Under 18's coach at Laverton wasnt going to let them play Seniors anymore.....
It's unfortunate that both Western Magpies and Brunswick Power players have to play in both Reserves and Seniors. It must be hard and its sad to see any club in that position. But luck does turn around and I'm pretty confident that eventually these clubs will gain a few good players and some momentum. Laverton more so than Brunswick in the near future.
As for Brunswick been the worst team in Australia. I would say that them and the Flemington Football Club would fight it out for that spot. Well at least in the Western region. Having played against both sides, Brunswick's Seniors and Flemington's 18's, i haven't seen a worst team yet.
Did any Under 18's players play for the Western Magpies seniors on Saturday? , i heard that the Under 18's coach at Laverton wasnt going to let them play Seniors anymore.....
Yeah, about 3 or 4 of them, it should be their choice if they want to play, they are the best players they have got at the club. Hopefully with the U18s guys coming up hopefully that they all want to stay and and do better than the seniors and reserves have in the last few years.

a classic case of what money does in local footy, or in this case a lack of it.
guys move local footy clubs for money on most occasions and i dare say that most players wouldn't be looking at brunswick as a prospective new club. its a downward spiral for them it'd seem.
how much longer can clubs like brunswick continue. they were down to 14 players at one stage on the weekend apparently. at the end of the day no one likes being flogged week in, week out.

Brunswick Power have been geeting flogged for years now, even back in the VAFA when playing D4 standard. Maybe being in the the VAFA D4 section was better off for Brunswick Power but then they were suspened from the VAFA for whatever reason a 3 yeras ago and and come in the WRFL.

Expect N Foots to take it right up to the Falcons. Not a hard team to work out. They dont go direct and are happy to chip around the flanks and wings with posession footy. Can work at the start of the season when it is dry but as the grounds get wetter and heavier its hard to win with a plan like that... and they are as weak as.....
my tip: Wyndhamvale will beat North Footscray this week, Id say by 40 pts.

yeah i see your point regarding the reserves. sides will drop senior blokes back once there senior sides realise they cant win. the only hope i guess is that the senior players they do drop back dont play enough games to qualify to play finals for the reserves. then it would be back on even par.

I havnt checked the reserves ladder at the moment but u can bet ur nuts that the reserves specialist down at coburg are sorting out there"games played" right now to make sure that they qualify a few extra players for two's finals.

Can shed some lite on that. He played the full game (went off with 10 minutes to go). Got completely flogged by Hinge from Heights who was playing his first game for the year. Up until now he has been playing super rules. He was brought in specifically to play on Lane because he has beaten him in the past and heights were so under manned. Will qualify for finals and come back to do another job on him in the finals if required!!!

The year is not over yet GoBang, still a fair few games to go mate.
But yeah, although we had a few player out with injury last week and a few unavailable, we where very disapointing. We know we can play good footy as we shown againt the yard stick in Glenorden, so we are looking to build back up to that come finals time. Our next month will be tough and we will need to be back right on to our game if we want to come away with the chocolates.

this could mean a long road for seddon , if most of the players get cleared to other clubs, they will most likely stay there and for next year if they choose to continue in B grade they wouldnt have many players to keep them going to re-build.

I'm under the impression that Heights are missing a few players still and I really rate albanvale. It has nothing to do with Heights being crud, infact they're a good fast side, but I think Albanvale have the bodies in the middle to get the upperhand. If Heights have a fullstrength team, then I'd say Albanvale just - I could be totally wrong and have this make me look silly. Also Albanvales performances against the top teams have been better than Heights, so I just believe they'll come out on top.

did anyone see the deer park game? i thought wyndemvale were better than that. is it true deer park have recruited some extra players from epping?
also what about west footscray. how can you be trailling central altona at 3 1/4 time? it was still a good comeback to win but if you are expecting to challenge for the flag this year you should be able to account for central altona pretty easily.

Albanvale looked like a team that liked the close , hard, tough footy to me on Saturday. Heights would have been beaten by ten goals if it wasn't for the late few goals they got in junk time when Albanvale had no bench.

Well said Dr, heights are very over rated, too hot and cold to be a real threat to the top two or three. Have threatened for years to take the next step. Usually take their foot off when the finals are in site. Like being cosy in the middle of second division.
What are your thoughts on the influx of players from Seddon to Deer Park?

Well Obe1, all the league websites are down at the moment. The latest I heard Sat night was that a number of players (about 6 or so) have gone to North Footscray. I am still yet to confirm if Deer Park have picked up any. If true then North would have to be eyeing top four depending on quality and Deer Park would be eyeing top spot.
They might add quality but then again they were the bottom side in A-Grade getting smashed every week. I wouldn't like to be a regular senior player at either of those clubs who now finds himself running around in the magoos because of some "big " names have now come on board. Couldn't do much for club morale one would think. Then again footballers are fairly insular and just like to win and who cares if your best mate misses out on a game because of some late comer..........

Agree with your thoughts regarding morale, it is usually the "club people" who suffer (miss out) when things like this happen. As for big names, I hardly think any of the names will rock second division. I would be more concerned if I was at one of the said clubs playing for the jumper and in rolled these blokes. Even though Seddon were rock bottom, they still paid out some reasonable monies to these players. Where will the money come from at North and Deer Park? someone will have to miss out?
so deer park have ended up with seddon players. i heard that they got players from either epping or taylors lakes? does anyone know if true?

I heard a lot of the players for Seddon were players who jumped ship from North Sunshine because they didn't want to play div 2 again, i think it's a big risk to pick up those type of players this late in the year. Morale at your club would plummet.

Agree with you there Obe1. We both have very similar thoughts in regard to the game. We might have to take up coaching together one day!

Looks like I was right with my prediction regarding Albanvale vs Heights. I rate Albanvale highly and it looks like my faith in them has been justified. I don't think they can win the flag, I believe that it's a three team race between Deer Park, Glenorden and West Footscray, but they go well.
Sunshine Heights can smash the minnows of the competition, but come unstuck against the better teams. However, they're just in the second tier of teams along with Wyndhamvale and North Footscray - they're just making up the numbers this season.
I have been really impressed with the Squad Deer Park have assembled, aswell as the fact that they have Brent Hall and Paul Martello in their reserves who should play seniors but their ground is an absolute disgrace and is a long way away from being acceptable for Division 1 football if they do happen to get up. The centre square was rock hard and akin to concrete, due to the cricket pitch. I heard that they don't water it because it becomes slippery, but either way it's pretty dodgy and isn't even acceptable for Division 2 reserves players.
Also appears that a contingent of Seddon players have made a switch to North Footscray. As I believe today is the last day for clearances, it will be interesting to see where everyone else goes to. Hopefully some of the players go to clubs who need the players to avoid a Seddon like situation in Division 2, but honestly you can't expect that to happen.
Question: With Western Magpies losing to Braybrook of all teams by over 100 - will they come within 100 points of any other team this season (barring Brunswick)? This is their run home:
North Sunshine (H)
Coburg Districts (A)
Gladstone Park (H)
Wyndhamvale (A)
Brunswick Power (H)
West Footscray (A)
Also when will #4 for them finally get suspended :eek:

I think north sunshine will account for them easily , most likely between the 80-100pt mark
coburg - 100 +
gladdy park - they have gladdy at home, and there form of late hasnt been crash hot - i think this is the game sheppard returns from injury and most likely a comfortable win for gladdy - but who knows ???? ill say gladdy by 12 goals if sheppard plays
wyndhamvale - 100+
brunswick power- this should be a win for the maggies, especially at home and the state that brunswick are in at the moment, should account for them by 10 goals plus
west footscray - 100+

Braybrook seems to be getting in form at the right time ... If they make the finals can u c them making any sort of impact?

I think with Pearce returning to the club, he has made an impact. It gives their on ballers a target up forward and he rarely lets them down. He is a quality player in Div two and takes a good player to keep him down.

what do people think of the un even draw... Wyndhamvale will finish 5th at worst and possibly make the top 4 for one reason only... the draw!! They are rewarded for being average for 10 years when a team like Albanvale gets punished for being a good side for 10 years..
Pearce off Jack

Can anyone tell me if Jason Curmi is coaching Albanvale and if so how is he going? Is he still playing every game?

The curmsta is co-coaching with a fella called Trevor Johnstone, both have been long servants at club and are life members. From all reports Curm has played most of the season with TJ working the boundary.

i dont think braybrook v falcons will be a close game. i reckon falcons will win by 8 goals+. also think west footscray will beat deer park in a upset as i think deer park will be favourites. but your right there wont be as many blowouts this week. how much you think glenorden will beat brunswick power by?

I actually think the bombers will put up a good fight against the Vales and come very close or even winning , If Deer Park stop Lane they will win the game but if they cant Wests will win ... Glenorden i think will beat Brunswick by 45 goals plus with Rosenweig to kick about 15 goals

Lets not forget the bombers defenders in particular BIG AL BURRIDGE, one of the most underrated backman going around in Division 2:thumbsu: :D

Got injured and then just lost interest.... still a chance to bob up in the next few weeks. Stays pretty fit on his own. Could be a wild card in the finals... Have u seen him play?
