North Sunshine in a nail-biter over Deep 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.

cos the fees in div 1 as opposed to div 2 (ones you pay to the WRFL) are a significant amount higher.

Can anybody confirm that this is correct? First time i ever heard this. Why would a Div 1 team have to pay more than a Div 2 team?

Your thoughts are correct, the amount of fees paid to the WRFL are determined by the amount of teams you have affiliated within the WRFL.

Not sure if all first division clubs have more teams ( seniors and juniors ) than those in second division. Obviously , Hoppers, Spotswood , Altona and possibly St Albans have more teams than others, hence a higher charge. The other cost that may vary is that of the umpires. First Division more often than not have umpires in the reserves as well as the seniors. This also increases the fee structure and as I have noted above, if you have more junior teams this will also add to your bottom line.

With regards to Obe1's question about making the same decision. I can't see the point in looking at it retrospectively, but for the sake of the exercise. Yes, I personally would do it the same way.

Fees are different from D1 to D2. Only slightly, but there is a difference in that it is more expensive to play D1 footy.

CITO - we lost a couple. But the main reason that haven't made a real impact is simply for the fact that the gap between the two divisions is huge.

Tough policy... at Heights the ones pick the best team available regardless of any other criteria. If you sign on and you are in the best 22... straight in..The twos are picked on form, training, membership and a few other factors.

22 Jun 2007, 11:30

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

Let's just remember though, the premiership isn't won in round 10!!! Let's hope neither of the coaches play any lose men in the back halves and have full strength list and let them GAME 1 of the heights v West season go nuts!!!

Once again I reiterate..thats why the club is run so well..no favouritism..no big heads...they don't want a reputation for buying flags or having blokes blow in and take big $$ per game and then fly out end of year. From what I see, they steer clear of praising their own team every week on this forum also. This comp. is not made up of 3 sides as many would think...as I have said - they haven't won flags..but when the policies and investment in kids etc start to pay further dividends (it has already started paying back), it will be all the more sweeter for all concerned I would imagine.

who height go through unchallenged?

il tell u something we will not go through unchallenged we r confident in our own ability which is what u need to achieve anything in life.
dont we have the right to be confident wer undefeated although we could lose 2 in a row playing against 2 of the top 4 sides in the next fortnight.

we r realistic we know the flag is there for the taking this year its gonna come down to who wants it more on the day. anybody out of wests us albanvale and north foots could take it out. as bangers said u dont win a flag in round 10, 11 or 12 its won on the last day of the season

Confidence. Confidence in our ability to beat anyone on our day, What premiership winning side hasnt had that belief. If you take it as cocky, that is your porogative. So what if a lot of the comments on this forum are made by people who are associated with the sunshine heights football club, we are forever going over this and it is getting a bit repetitive and boring for mine. The FACT is that this years premiership is a four horse race with any of those teams (you all know who they are) in with a chance to take out the flag. Looking forward to this yrs finals series as i believe it will be a ripper.

i do agree tho he will be a great acquisition to ur team this year but u should really try and get him to stay for longer than 6 months and help the club build. uve got some talented younger players coming through the 18s over the past couple and the future is looking brighter 4 u guys hopefully he can help that along

I agree with you in regard to your thoughts and passion about Nth react but if the club is so well run what happened to the previous VP and the Junior administrator and the treasurer on the same night??

I know your mail is not all correct there secure38, but you seem to know a little about the club. There is no cancer in the club. The Treasurer left to have a baby (husband is still playing) and the previous VP and junior administrator are still running Auskick. The league rumour is also incorrect.

so the other part about DEKAROO is true he is the president.......:thumbsu:thanks

Agree with Red Devil.
Secure - if you shared my passion you'd never refer to anyone at the club as a cancer. The person I think you are referring has put in a truck load of work over a long period of time of time. I dont always agree with the action that person undertakes at times but hey - not everyone in footy clubs are agreable on everything. The VP and Treasurer are still at the club and still put in time without a formal title. Your mail on this is completely wrong. As for the great D-Roo...he has stepped up with the full backing of all those you mentioned, VP and treasurer included. The club is safe with excellent people running the place. Full credit to the president too. The great Bill Pride...legend..but hey..poeple move on and so too do clubs. Seeya at the DEvils den today for a can whoever you are..

As for the heights boys...confidence is everything..I agree with you. Just dont put the cart before the horse boys...

Had my spies out at Heights last night (well not really a spy, it was my mate KOALA88 that lives in the Gum tree at Ainsworth on the Glengala rd side). Anyway he tells me that the big number 8 may have done an injury but he is not sure what it was and how it happened. Can any of the DRAGONS confirm which one of these is true:

A- He did a Hamstring bending over to pick up a cheeseburger that fell off the tray on the way from the BBQ to the Kitchen

B- He did a Calf running to the canteen to be first in line for the Mixed Grill?

yes big out for today:( the number 8 superstar
spoke to him thursday night, so the answer to the question is B, but a bit of A to the cheesbuger did hit the ground, but he did invoke the 30second rule:eek: to eat and thats when he done it.:thumbsd:
but he has asured me he`ll be back soon:p so i`ll catch up with him today and have a couple of pies with him.....

No doubt umpiring will come up as an excuse. All reports was a massive crowd and enjoyable day.

Anyone at the game with a match report?

Anyone who says that the umpires had a say in the result of this game is kidding... they let the game go as they should and I am sure all spectators enjoyed the game.

West was the best team on the day as they were able to play the game on their terms... slowed down and kick and mark.

Ziggy got battered (fairly ) every time he got the ball but just kept finding in... GUN!!

There are a number of reasons why I reckon Heights will have the better of West come finals time but I'll save that for later... let West have their glory they deserve it.

Bit of a shame that a few redneck supporters and the West president spoiled things for everybody by hurling abuse at the Heights players as they left the field... was a good hard contest that didn't need that at the end.

West winners over Heights today? 12 points I think. Looks like it's going to be a quiet week on this thread! No doubt umpiring will come up as an excuse. All reports was a massive crowd and enjoyable day.

Wyndanvale beat Albanvale by a point too. Big result after the coach was sacked.

Good form showed by Heights after the game today with the players told anyone who goes in for a drink after the game will not be playing next week!

I guess all that crap you boys went on about a few weeks ago is only valid if you win?

And before you all start crapping on about West Footscray supporters, who are the 4 hereos that bashed our timekeeper, who by the way has a brain injury from a previous car accident?

If that was what was said, I don't agree with it. Without making excuses the Pres has had a tough week with a family issue, and the bashing of our timekeeper may have sent him over the edge.

However, I have never let the words of a spectator detur me from going in the rooms after the game for a drink. Believe me I have heard much worse.

As for me not giving a peep - my job does not allow me enough time to sit on the internet all day. If I have something worthwhile to say, I'll post if I get time (or if the kids let me on the net). It just so happens I have 30 mins before going out again, and felt the need to say something.

GBF, please don't insult my intelligence by saying that WF are the only supporters that hurl abuse. Most of the abuse is hurled at the umpires, and they came back in for a drink! If any player is too precious where they can't handle a little heckling, go play golf where all you're allowed to do is clap. Believe me, WF players cop their fair share of abuse, maybe we are a little louder because there is so many of us?

Copping a bit of stick during the game is one thing... but after the players shook hands and the Heights boys were walking to the rooms it was all done and dusted.. no need to have 10 blokes (all 10 foot tall full of cans) carry on like that. We were not welcome... didnt come in and if we did the only result would have been the biggest brawl of all time.

Also., even though it was one if ur own that belted the time keeper.. if crackers stayed in the time keepers box instead of coming down to pick a fight he wouldnt have got belted.

To West Footscray Reserves who got beaten by 2 points - keep your chin up boys as there will be real umpires come finals.

The brain injury might explain why he was stupid enough to come out of his box poke his finger in someones face then throw a drink on him. Sunshine Heights don't condone violence but if he stayed where he was supposed to and didn't carry on like a typically West Foorscray hero then he might be less sore tonight. Guess he will remember his job in future and just do it. As GB50 said he was hit by someone more closely associated with west not a Heights person.

Also no one at Heights was told anything about not getting a game so get your facts right old man. Heights are better than most at going in for a drink win lose or draw.

Who cares about your nuffy presidents private crap. That doesn't give him excuse to abuse our female officials like a pig. Also he is an a r s e every time we see him so don't make excuses for him, he is always a dill.

Oh no, what have I done? Get the umbrellas out, ladies and gents. I'm thinking things might get a little biblical.

I'm thrilled to hear that my favourite underdogs the Power finally got up to win, albeit against the Gladstone Park Ladies Bowls Club, who took the field after a tragic venue mix-up.:D

After the Heights game today, I logged on thinking I might finally see what the smiley icon for tumbleweeds looks like, but it's good to see that you aren't deterred by the result GBF. I'll join you in a slice of humble pie later if you've got time, but I agree that today's result doesn't close the book on season 2007.
I would be curious to see what would happen if the same two teams had played with eighteen players each for four quarters. For those who weren't there, I'm referring to two send-offs against Heights, not accusing West or the umpires of any kind of misconduct. (Although, on that subject, if anyone can enlighten me as to what "attempted eye-gouging" is... can you get reported for attempting to abuse the umpire?):confused:

I'll leave it there and restrict my comments to the events that occured between the first and final sirens - all in all a very tough game played fairly and in the spirit of competition. Well done West, but I wouldn't break out the champagne yet. :cool:

would you call it undicipline?????

Now to the football.

No blueboy the umpires were very good today. I think probably the best we have had all year. They made a few mistakes

West were better on the day and Heights didn't get our running game going. We had about 10 players well below their best and overall played at about 60 % of our potential. I think the odds of that happening again would be slim.

Discipline with 2 send offs cost Heights. During the 30 minutes of the send offs West scored 6 goals then for the other 90 minutes of football scored only 7 goals.

Until today Heights have only played away from home twice in 4 months so the more we play away til finals the better.

Remember sides learn heaps more from a loss than a win. To have so many players down and to lose by a small margin is encouraging. Also better to lose now than finals as to win would have meant a good chance of going through undefeated which with such a young side might not be too healthy for big heads and complacency.

Well done to West Footscray enjoy your time in the sun. We will look forward to meeting again in the finals.

so your telling me wests(timekeeper)got hit by west people.........cmon its a little hard to believe...............

Not saying it was a West person. It was a person who was there to watch his cousin who plays for West.... that doesnt make him a West person but certainly means that he has nothing to do with Heights.

Read some posts IT WASN'T A HEIGHTS PERSON who hit the timekeeper full stop. That is fact, he was watching both sides and has not been at any of our prior games.

The first send off was a joke and the second poor discipline which cost us badly.

The brain injury might explain why he was stupid enough to come out of his box poke his finger in someones face then throw a drink on him. Sunshine Heights don't condone violence but if he stayed where he was supposed to and didn't carry on like a typically West Foorscray hero then he might be less sore tonight. Guess he will remember his job in future and just do it. As GB50 said he was hit by someone more closely associated with west not a Heights person.

Also no one at Heights was told anything about not getting a game so get your facts right old man. Heights are better than most at going in for a drink win lose or draw.

Who cares about your nuffy presidents private crap. That doesn't give him excuse to abuse our female officials like a pig. Also he is an a r s e every time we see him so don't make excuses for him, he is always a dill.

Bomber stop talking s h i t, it's pretty bad when a coach doesn't even wear his club colours when he's coaching but shameful to tell your players not come in for a drink after the game, coaches attitude reflects on the players attitude, that's why you didn't get the job done. Your a coach on a saturday afternoon NOT a copper!

And finally for your poor excuse for a guy getting sticks and rocks thrown at him, you too would leave the box to stick up for himself, and if you didn't your a weak dog.

One last question where were all your guns today? and on honest point i picked heights to win by goals today GUESS i was wrong!!

Weapons good to have a brief word with you after the game. The footy was good and all credit to both sides for a good hard physical game of clean footy.
I enjoyed the game. Thanks to both sides for their hospitality and to the Roadrunners for the drink afterwards. All the best for the season boys.

good to see the WRFL executive at the west game today but noticed that when things got heated on the ground and in the crowd they did the phanton, vanished into thin air.

it was a tough game of football which is what you get with the two top teams, west seemed to be tougher at the ball and held their structure better.

in all cant wait come finals.

The monkey watched Sunshine Heights and West Footscray today, along with every other man and his dog - dodging all the dog s h i t on the ground...

Must admit I have seen heights play a few times and it seemed that the heights players were a little flat today. Although when I say this, they did well to remain in the contest for most of the game.
I believe if they played anything like they have played in other weeks they would have beaten them quite easily. If West are that good then they should have beaten Heights by atleast 10 goals not 2 and a half.

Anyway, well done to West Footscray as you remain undefeated - but there is a lot of footy to be played yet!

Will agree with you about being a little flat. I think the big build up during the week might have zapped us a bit but we will be better for it.

I can tell you about the rooms, they are a disgrace small, grotty, a toilet with no door. Seriously a toilet with no door what sort of grotty pig of a club is this. Oh yeah just remembered a president standing at the door of his rooms surrounded by drunken yobbos yelling at the opposition as they walked off "f... off' Have a drink there are you joking. Where does their money go, not a cent on the rooms. Can't tell you much about the social rooms as the bar at Ainsworth was calling and we thought it best not to catch flees.

come on now td its a little petty bagging a club about their rooms/supporters when your rooms arnt much chop either like all in div 2.....and all supporters are passionate.......get over it........

You are so sneaky. You would make a great poker player. Oh sorry I forgot the wrfl website lists players that play each week so maybe I'll just log on and see Evans, Webster, and Innella didn't play. Why didn't you play Mil.

Before you reply to any posts grab a few drinks and skull them down. It will do you wonders as you already know.

Yeah Gemini fill us in on all the player movement news. I see Orchard has rejoined you from Avondale Heights. He is a handy, agressive little player. Did he play yesterday?

Congrats on the win. You are very tough to beat at home.

How about rating some of the match ups guys? Would have liked to have been there.

Who played on Ziggy, McGee and Laney?

What about Greto and Mallia? Was Mallia tagged? I wouldn't think so as am tipping West would back themselves to win.

Yeah Dean played in the magoos. He played well. Split a few packs and I think kicked 4. Braybrook reserves were very poor, but nevertheless he was impressive. Be interesting to see if he is selected for the Heights game. He has been training with the Devils for a few weeks so is likely to come under consideration.

We didn't play that well against Braybrook, but they have some impressive young runners. Stephen Pearce gave us some problems early and the ruckman plonked himself in the hole and we keep kicking it to him. You would think we would learn after making Skippy at Deer Park look good for the past few years....

Old man Craig Thompson was BOG and is hitting his straps nicely for the run home.

Thats good see, but from what I understand and by looking at the WRFL website he is yet to be cleared, does that mean you lose the points.

He wouldn't have played if he wasn't cleared brother. And unlike some clubs we don't play people under a pseudonym. Since when can you rely on the WRFL website for providing an up to date information service!

That's what u would think.... but they played a permanent loose man in the hole all day as well as another forward around the ball. Certainly tried to stop the run and closed the game down. worked well for them on that ground. The fact the Heights kicked to the loose man didn't help.

Maybe the Devils can try them tactics this week as they are the only tactics to have any success against the Dragons this year.

at least the devils will go into the game with tactics, unlike heights from what i sore they have no tactics or structure on game day, how predictable were the heights kick ins same spot 90% of the time.

Even more predictable were the Roosters kick ins, short 20 mtr chip each time and no players picked up on that.

make note all who come against these two sides of the kickins in the first qtr as they will be the same for the rest of the game.

just plonk some one infront of Lane to cut off supply.

Play two on greto as their is no vision from players delivering the ball forward.

Albanvale drped 3 in a row both teams whats going on.

Brunswick power big win.

Western Magpies holding the ladder up

Deer Park watch out top 4 as I think they are the dark horse.

North Sunshine will stay just outside and miss out.

Wyndhamvale ?????

gladdy park, coburg districs, braybrook go on holidays.

Where exactly were you sore.

How many kick ins did you turn over. Stuff all so if it was so predictable why not.

Play two on greto as their is no vision from players delivering the ball forward.

Never seen that work on a big ground and always works better with send offs as well. And you are right vision was poor but this happens when you play in a comp with no pressure 9 weeks in a row players tended to rush more than we had to..

You must feel good West are 4 or 5 goals better off at home and you beat a side by 2 and a bit goals who had 2 send offs. How was the tide when numbers were even. Bring on September.

You may be talking about the seniors but obviously not ur under 12 side down at west as they couldn't even shake hands after the game yesterday, i think that is discraful teaching your kids not to be good sports.

Is it true down at wests that you have spent too much dollars on your seniors this year and made the juniors suffer as on the weekend Wests under 10s turned up to the game and didnt have club jumpers so they ran around in the tops they already had on.What a DISGRACE To wests those children deserve better.And then you call Heights seniors a bunch of sooks and losers Have a look at your under 12s team they lost by a point to Heights under 12s that have scored a total of 25 points in 9 games then didnt want to shake hands.Thats what a call a sooks

look i was an observer on saturday and what a great spectacle it was yes we were on the losing side but i thought it was fantastic to c 2 great teams battling it out. the game was played in great spirit and im sure if u ask the players theyr probably the sorest theyv been this year.

however it was ashame what happened to wests timekeeper but the guy that was ranting and raving at our female supporters demanding a name be mentioned was disgraceful i asked around the club what had happened and it was not a heights supporter.

also the gooses that were yelling abuse and booing our team off the ground was disgraceful once the final siren sounds everything should be forgotten and let go. i take the side of td and bangers here and not because we r all from heights but because if we did come into the rooms we would certanly have copped continued abuse ending in an ugly situation for both clubs to be in
