He wont play seniors woof . Enjoyed the game Saturday, felt a lot warmer Dom bought me a new top but it had security on it so everyone was looking at me for help all day. Thats why I put my sunglasses on hoping that people wouldn't recognise me. I have a sore throat from barking all day everytime Dom came near me. I was a bit lonely but all the boys looked after me. Not sure about that Matt Caruana I think he is jealous of me, being a bulldog himself he doesn't like another dog getting any attention.

there is off the top of my head 8 or 9 senior players that arnt playing that played in the last game of the year last year.......which is a pretty big hole to fill for any team...youth...the jnr commitee has worked very hard to keep the young fellas coming through the ranks.....and this year to have 18's show's we are going in the right direction finally.....new clubrooms starting september so things in the bigger picture/foundations are looking good......and this stuff about coach and commitee why dont you just worry about your own backyard instead of making stupid comments about ''MY'' club..........and thats all i have to say......

After sat game i reckon Heights. West were no good until chopper read got all those softies in the second half after not getting near it in the 1st half. The coach is a dinosaur too. 3 qtr time speech was terrible. I'm still a little confused.

Coming from a TD quote earlier, stating heights have a "full strength squad", that may get them over the line, where as for west, i think there will be some outs for the game but are still missing players!!! So from that you'd think heights just BUT everytime West have been challenged this year, they've done enough to get over the line!!

I think the typewriter asked for tips from non West or Heights people. You are obviously from West so it would be appreciated if you could read the post properly in future and act accordingly.

For the record I understand that Karl 'the dartboard' Hoblos is ready for a big game next week as is Faisel ' the Turkish rug' Taleb. Steven 'the finch' Nicholaides hit some good form kicking 7 goals on the weekend. James 'the lion tamer' Weston continued his recent good form also. Should be a good game at the s h i t hole that is West Footscray. Wonder if the racist drunks will be at their usual this week.

cheers for that rundown.......

i know williams was out(year) didnt know about rizzo........

just going on what you have said i have watched the snrs twice and their discipline was terrible also..... as in back chating and giving 50's away.....and when your team gets pumped maybe its the esiest way out to blame the umpires.......

and i must admit the umpiring what i have seen this year is not flash.....but thats no excuse is it........

hmmmm have heard a few different reports that the blokes from DP are playing like 2bob hitmen this year......what surprised me most was that coach May was alleged to be acting like a bit of a dill as well on the weekend...threatening not to come out after 3/4 time?!?!?! doesn't really look credible given your side is being spanked all season coming off a grand final berth the year before.

C'mon Rob....you must be getting a bit cranky in your old age...back to the basics of discipline mate...you are not belting blokes with me in school footy any more...

hey karim wot was ur role on the weekend i understand that a younger bloke picked up laney and besides the 4 free kicks he got would not have had a sniff is that true?

i heard u were 4 goals down with 5 min 2 go u must have come back well or was it game over ala port and essendon yesterday?

nah wasnt game over at all, we were still attacking when the siren went really should have won.. dean fermousa played on lanny and done a great job lanny did get 3 very soft free kicks but thats just div2...
i played on bobby evens in the first half, didnt really have a match up every1 was 2 tall 4 me, there a big side

i hear u pushing frr 1ns selection big fella is this true?

if you read peoples posts on here about d/p acting like hitmen its probably a bit over the top.......

yes 18s u have but wot sort of talent is in that team i know u have 4 huys from us probably 3 could contribute extensively 2 ur senior team but all r coming back to heights next year so im not sure wot other talent is coming thru. u also mentioned another team hasnt won a game this season so where is your talent going to come from?

yes a couple of the ex-heights boys go alright only seen them once and they won and all did well.....

its not about the talent but at least we got them.........
there are 2 teams who havnt won a game......14/a's way out of their league......thats all i can say....16'c's as well i tell you what on the weekend got beaten by 140 with 15 players with 2 u'14's in the 15.... 2 got injured and couldnt take any further part after half time but still had a crack with 13 and all i could do is praise them way undermanned and they had a dip and to me that shows a bit of talent not to give up........and getting beaten every week doesnt help either........i know they will get better..........its all about development and i can count on 2 hands how many defeats these boys have had in the last 3 years.....so there is talent there just need the right way of how to go about it.......

Good idea to make the Heights v West game match of the day. Maybe K Hillier will read this and tee it up. I know the league looks after Div one first as it should but to slip one Div 2 match in would be ok.

You would think that round 10, 2 undefeated sides should be match of the round. However the league and most in the A1's don't really care about A2 football. It's just the way it is and similar to reserves at most clubs. The only ones that really care too much about the reserves is the reserves themselves.

if west vs heights is a bigger game than hoppers vs colts ill give it away now, any divy 1 game is better than a divy 2 game. and whoever wins it in the magoos this year can come up and get there names said on the radio too.

For your info 'hero' there would be no A1's without A2 and yes out of the WRFL senior competition 2 undefeated sides at round 10 should be WRFL match of the round. It's not called A1 match of the round and if the set up of this game isn't match of the round then there never will be and it should be re named A1 match of the round .

By the way almighty 'tool of the week run around pointing after a goal when you are 10 goals down' (how individual is that) what do you think the VFL and AFL think of the standard of yourself and your football. Not much I would imagine so you are not all that high and mighty we are all paddock footballers.

Anyway maybe you can tell me how crackers 'doesn't matter about the team as long as I play well' Keenan is going.

Your right there, sure the reserves can never win the seniors premiership and take them to the next level BUT without them you lost characters, support, leadership, depth obviously and clubmen, b/c if you notice at most of the best club play in the reserves too!!! not saying that there isn't any excellent senior clubmen!!!

So port colts vs parkside (last week port kicked 42 goals) would be a better game than heights vs west. That is a joke of a comment.

Agree with that, don't get me wrong I have played my share of reserves. Clubs wouldn't survive without reserves. It's just a sad fact that clubs are geared around the seniors. At Heights we have the same amount of good clubmen in seniors and reserves but many clubs don't.

Good Question.

Heights have certainly smacked teams by big margins but it is hard to say if it is because they are better than Glenorden and Altona or that the rest of the comp is worse.

If you are getting at how they would both go in Div 1 i think that Heights are in a better position because if West was to go up there would be at least 6 or 7 players that couldn't/wouldn't play div 1 (retirements) where as Heights may only lose 1 or 2.

I think that was Glenordens problem... there first 5 recruits this year were only replacing players they had lost rather than improving the list.

Good question cougarman. Someone mentioned just that recently and we look as though we are just as good if not better but those sides performed continually in big games so until we do the same it's hard to say. Altona of 2005 were a very good sode. We were competetive several times against those teams with a far less strong team. Will be able to comment on West after the weekend.

just curious that's all, no point asking how they will go in A grade because chances are it will be a different team anyway

the last 2 years in division 2 the premiers have been undefeated so i was just interested if with those 2 gone to A grade has it evened out or have heights and west just recruited well:thumbsu:

West also have a couple of clearances pending, not sure whether seniors or juniors but will still be interesting to see. Any other clubs have new signings or possible new signings for 2nd half of season?

Have heard that Heights are chasing Grant Spencer... apparently the canteen takings are down and they have offered him $100 a game in the hope that this will be off set by the $300 worth of pies he eats each week:thumbsu::thumbsu:

You would never get me over to Heights. I'm scared of Harley the Dog plus the organisation of the Heights Canteen is a disgrace. Last time I was there I had to settle with a hot dog in bread because they had no rolls. :thumbsd:

Full strength for Heights minus perhaps one but he at the moment is 50/50.

What about West Footscray? Do they have full strength? Anyone from West Footscray?

S Lane, J Lane, Evans, Kadour, Webber, Saliba struggling with the flu I am told. All less than 50% chance to play

RDFL 2's footy is much better footy than WRFL Div 2 Reserves.
I wouldn't expect someone who has played in/watched the league all their life to understand. Maybe get to another league's 2's footy to compare the two.
Silky I bet was in the same boat leaving Div 1 to play Div 2 then returning.

Brunswick Power and Gladstone Park look to be a good game this week lol... Perhaps if West Footscray and Sunshine Heights weren't playing against each other, it might have been match of the round lol... These poor pityful clubs. It's sad really... Isn't it?

Oh I believe you, but it sounds to me me like you have wiped half the team out with the flu. Maybe West Footscray should just forfit the round then because it won't be much of a game anyway then?

You only need a couple of water bottles to get contaminated and the whole club will get the flu. I remember 1 year at my old club where 3/4 of the club got sick within a couple days from the water bottles.

You are partially right Bluey. The standard of footy is different to Div 1, but a decent footballer should be able to adapt and play at any level. The main reaons i left were the fact that my wife hated going down and watching me play as the crowd are a tad....ummm, how shall i put this..........agressive. Plus i missed playing footy with the guys and a club i've played with for the past 10 years. And one or two other reasons i won't go into.

but surely if the standard of footy is the only reason for leaving then your loyalty to west would keep you there??? That can't be the only reason. It was you who was going on about West 2's being flag favourites a few rounds into the season.

No come down to Heights. There is a role for you. We could use you as a tackling bag, then we could practice high marks on your back then the ruckmen can practice ruckwork jumping on you.

And whats it matter what the hot dog is in, you put them down your throat without chewing them anyway like an oyster.

Loyality? No I dont think after 5 games with a club you have loyality. Did you have a second thought about leaving silky? I know I thought about it for a few weeks. I had also lost interest, I missed 2 weeks of training because I couldn't be bothered playing and knew I wouldn't be picked if I didn't train. People close to me know I'm not like that and never miss a game.
I still think that if West 2's can be consistent and play like they must of against Albanvale then they can win the 2's flag. This weeks matchup will also give everyone another opinion on the topic.

A bit.......as i didn't really want to be seen as jumping ship just bcause they were not playing well and getting wins on the board. That was the least of my concerns. They are a good bunch of guys too so it was dissapointing to be leaving them in the lurch a bit.

It's a tuff call mate.

Great I will have someone to lift my leg on and someone I am better looking than. Just keep away from my schmakos, not all the foods yours. Also there is no flees at the club at the moment so if they suddenly appear we know where they are from. woof woof

Just wondering about anyones thoughts on the div 2 premiers (whoever it may be) whether that club will or wont go up to div 1 and if they should or shouldn't go up....... Do they even have a choice in the matter?????

Also, TruBlues good to see you kick a bag on the weekend mate lets hope this is the beggining of many more to come.

I think they should go up. What is the point of being in the competition if you are not striving to reach the top. Plus the division 2 competition at the moment is non-competitive apart from the top 4.

I wont hide the fact that i am from heights, and i believe that the position we are in on the field is giving the club the best opportunity to seek sponsorship and should be taken advantage of. There should be no reason for us to stay in division 2 should we win the flag.

However, we still have a job to do, and that is to win the division 2 premiership which is priority number 1, and there is still half a season of hard work on the field to go.

I hope that is the case because atm parkside would struggle to win in div 2 let alone stay up.........

The question i reckon that will determine your success for years to come is whether you can keep the list you have now without losing any players???? and perhaps enticing a few more that maybe struggle to play seniors at the bigger clubs.....

This hang it on Altona stuff is getting a bit old. There were numerous reasons for Altona not taking promotion after 2004. I refuse to get into it here, but I can unequivocally state that it had nothing to do with being; soft, scared or any other derogatory remark that has been bandied around this thread.

Nobody actually considered the players soft or scared... but that is what people thought of Altona as a club for making the decision.

You posted the comments above on a public forum. If you want to defend the club post the reasons why they made the decision on here for everyone to see.... otherwise don't comment at all!!

Not taking sides one way or another but with hindsight in mind,would the same decision be made now.

Do you think you have benefitted from the original decision?

Its hard to say as altona are still yet to make any impact on div 1 (only one win this year)...

just wondering as i dont know but did altona keep the players they played with in div 2 when they won the flags or did some jump ship when they went up????? its hard to believe a side that wins 2 flags can come up and just have no impact to speak of just thought maybe they lost a few.

... getting back to current division 2 teams, here's my two cents for the week. (I know you've been dying to read it.:thumbsu::thumbsu:)

Predictions:

First and foremost, in the match of the day, week and regular season...

...Brunswick Power will beat Gladstone Park. :D

Oh, yes, and in another fairly interesting contest to watch, Heights will try to put their money where their mouths have been all season, realise that nobody gets paid at Heights so there's no money to put anywhere, but still come away with a hard-fought win. Big name forwards will be too good for their match-ups at times at both ends, but the supply out of the centre will be a 60:40 split in favour of Heights. That all adds up to a win for Heights, the final scoreboard reading 32 goals to 26.

Districts over Magpies (yawn)

North to beat Braybrook convincingly and remind the top three that this comp actually has a top four.

North Sunshine in a nail-biter over Deer Park. When I say 'nail-biter', don't get me wrong - I don't mean it will be close, I'd just rather chew on a pile of rusty nails than be playing for Deer Park right now.:D

Finally, Wyndhamvale will beat Albanvale after Karim and his boys are all abducted by aliens on the way to the ground. In other news, frogs will fall from the sky, rivers will run back to the hills and all of Australia will sit glued to their televisions for Eviction night on Big Brother.

:cool:

very interesting point.....they have yet to make an impact in div 1 after 2 seasons, but in hindsight nth sunshine were the same, and if all continues the way it is glenorden wont make an impact either....

From gossip around the traps it seems altona lost a number of players as they just didnt have the money to pay them, cos the fees in div 1 as opposed to div 2 (ones you pay to the WRFL) are a significant amount higher.

Just goes to show that money does not guarantee you a premiership....are the west footscray boys hearing this? (although it definitely helps..just ask hoppers)

Interesting to see how the 'match of the round goes this week' between the roosters & the dragons....
The roosters might be crowin early but the dragons will have fire in their bellies & run out winners.... (just my thoughts)
Good luck to both teams..it should be a ripsnorter of a game
