not over confident disco lol just realistic everyone keeps saying at trainin dont take them lightly so maybe it might sink in! and you are right about pickles he needs 2 find a bit of action

[Hawker28]

If i was a player looking at moving, i wouldn't be considering going to Kilmore with all this talk about each others doings and not doings!

Disco Duc seems to be bringing some humour to Kilmore in 2007! Could this be the difference?

[woody07]

Riddell 18 Points
Kilmore 100+
Macedon 10 Points
Diggers 1 goal
Woodend - 40 points

Vantheman 100 points plus. Hope the Rcokbank boys dont frequent this site-in case they do, i'll change my pediction to 26 points-still in Kilmore's favour. They may have been given the incentive they need to have a fair dinkum crack (appreciate your confidence though)-I'm sure the coach does as well;).

From checking out Kilmore's website, one thing stuck out and that was Terry Ahearn being listed as playing in the centre for the reserves.
Surely he is worthy of automatic selection in the ones??:confused:

i'm sure we look after our own, hawker - but journo's that play for lancefield are fair game.

[Trueblueroo]

Ill answer this one the funny thing is you already took it out on a Lancefield Journo, Nicholls when he played for the Tigers! :thumbsu:

[catters078]

My tips this week!

Kangas by 2 goals
Romsey in an upset, win by under a goal!
Kilmore easy
Diggers - Just
Centrals - by 8 goals

my tips are,

riddell by 15 points- ( if sunbury win this they deserve to be labelled the team to beat, till they do riddell are..)

romsey over woodend by 5-10 points-( low scoring match, romseys big chance to stay in the running for top3 and have to win, might be a bit more desperate on the day)

diggers over lancefield by 5 goals, they have had a bad year but i still think they will turn it on and make a run at the 5

macedon over melton, 10 points- young kids too quick

kilmore over rockbank- 50 points

(i also tip pickles to be "aroused downstairs" all day)

[matt_nicholls]

Gentlemen looks like this thread is going to become too Matt Nicholls orientated. For the record, my sex life is in good shape at the moment, I'm no longer a Lancefield player and the umpiring is coming along. I like long walks on the beach at sunset and picnics on sunny spring days. I'm 182cm tall, weigh 77kgs and go for the Fremantle Dockers. Love my cricket, captained the Lancefield 2nd XI last year. Is there anything else people want to know before we can close this subject :D

[vantheman32]

good work pickles! loves a stirring haha

[footycliche]

Sexual orientation Pickles? You have failed to notify the world of that vital piece of info! The masses need to know PICKLES! Chicks want you and guys want to BE you...

[matt_nicholls]

Sorry to disappoint footycliche but I'm straight. Although the Kilmore boys know how much I'd turn for Cornish and Kempy :p

[footycliche]

Just don't get a gig umpiring a Kilmore game - Cornish will dob 20, 17 of them from free kicks!

[matt_nicholls]

Just don't get a gig umpiring a Kilmore game - Cornish will dob 20, 17 of them from free kicks!

If I gave him 17 frees in front of goal he'd probably finish with 3.14

[Crookknee]

Just don't rate the likes of McInerney's, bonici and James?


Just checked over Harrys tips and cant find where he said he didnt rate these guys. All he has done is have the audacity not to pick your side to win. Cmon TBR, thats the beauty of having an opinion. Me, I think the kangas will win. They seem to have the right balance of youth and experience.

Its no ones business how your sex life is pickles! Its all in the palm of your hands. :D

[vantheman32]

Great call crookknee! very impressed, also like to add that matt would turn for robbo, we know theres a one way affection there:P

[OMNIPOTENT_1]

Just don't rate the likes of McInerney's, bonici and James?

Was very disappointed to hear that both McInerney's left this morning for a week-end of cod fishing up the Murray !

[Animosity]

wat a load of crap that is ... if u watch richmond v melbourne tnite ull probly see him on camera in the crowd doing everything BUT fishing!

[OMNIPOTENT_1]

BINGO !

Thanks Gav' learnt that 1 off u.

[Harry Wilson]

TBR, I do rate those guys and the McInerneys, highlyat that. James is obviously a very handy player and Bonici can demolish sides with the amount of the ball he gets. I was merely pointing out my opinion that Riddell are the best side I've seen this year by 6 goals at least. I think the Roos have done incredibly well to be where they are at the moment. Perhaps tomorrow night I won't be able to go out for dinner due to the fact I may be full after eating my words:D I guess we'll have to wait and see.

[joeblow2]

Riddell, just

Woodend, easy

Lancefield, by a couple

Centrals, 3 or 4 goals

Kilmore, 12 - 15 goals

[howzat]

were is the moderator this thread is getting smuty

with the money sunbury rovers are throwing around this year they must be favourites to win the premiership . i have always said there is no glory in buying flags

[Itsmyshow]

Shouldn't you be at band practice instead of falling for my tricks, Well done OMNI... You are learning my apprentice.

[Harry Wilson]

Great call Howzat. I feel dirty hearing about Pickles' pondering his private life.

In regards to the Kangas, I don't know for a fact that they are throwing around $$$ but I do remember both Riddell and Lancfield's fate when they did it. If the Kangas can buy one and stay afloat, good on them.

[Itsmyshow]

Wow... Another intellectual giant...

Yeah, you're right my friend, the Kangaroos have a $700,000 budget for this year.. We haven't quite spent it all yet, still waiting to talk to you about coming across, so left some room in the budget..

Let me guess, you are the one that wasn't good enough to keep up with James Climas old man when playing football yeah????

[vantheman32]

Anyone on here got the list of the RDFL team of the century? is there any current day players in this side or players from the last 10 yrs

[howzat]

Wow... Another intellectual giant...

Let me guess, you are the one that wasn't good enough to keep up with James Climas old man when playing football yeah????chris climas was the most scared player i ever saw . plenty of people will tell you that . talking to someone involved at sunbury rovers and they told me about the big coin being spent down there .

[Harry Wilson]

I couldn't say Van. Do you have any suggestions as to who (that is playing now) could possibly be named?

I think it would be hard to have picked Lee James at FF in front of Michael Werner. Possibly Jamie Cuffe in the ruck. As for players playing today, I can't think of any. Maybe the latest to have played could have been Mark Strack.

[blues12]

Sorry pal, Who are Sunbury Rovers? go back to the 90s.
Then, as you move into the next century, show some respect and acknowledge what the club has done over the past 5 or so years to change the image of the club. As for the dollars give us a figure that you have been told. This interests me.

[OMNIPOTENT_1]

Shouldn't you be at band practice instead of falling for my tricks, Well done OMNI... You are learning my apprentice.

You are the master of deception !
& I am but the humble pupil.
Good luck tomorrow pal will see you at 10 for the " Battle for September" !
(or at least late August)

Fair enough, thats your opinion, but, next time you see the Roos look at the committee - players - supporters. you will probably only identify a small handful from the past. The club now conduct themselves very well.
Dont worry about what has happened with other clubs the roos are holding their own and i will guarantee this will not be the case, the player budget is far from high enough to affect the running of the club.

[matt_nicholls]

Some HUGE and very interesting results to come from today's matches:

Riddell defeats Sunbury Kangaroos by 113 points!

Leigh McInerney sent off for the match in the first term I believe for calling an umpire a cheat! Mark McInerney didn't play due to hamstring tightness and Dean Helmers out with the flu. But I can't believe Dummy wasn't put on the ground till midway through the second quarter!

Woodend-Hesket smash Romsey in the centre and go on to win by 10 goals, despite Salpy and Dowling kicking a couple between them.

Diggers Rest get over the line against Lancefield. Payney is a disgrace. Too fat and can't buy a kick. Diggers discipline sloppy. Tigers played okay. Sims carried the Burra yet again. Best for Lancefield were Tim Collins, Scott Smithwick, Nathan Milner, Sam Graham and Chris Collins. Ruane, Lefty and Heritage were good for Diggers.

Kilmore smashed Rockbank by 97 points. Not sure of any details.

No result come to hand of the Macedon v Melton Central match either.

"...change the image of the club."

Wouldn't say the "image" has changed much at all. Whenever anyone thinks of Sunbury they shake their heads.

[footy mad 2]

"...change the image of the club."

Wouldn't say the "image" has changed much at all. Whenever anyone thinks of Sunbury they shake their heads.

This may be true Cobber but do you not agree that the club is taking the right steps to gain back respect. After the amount of years the club has had and deserved its bad name, the people involved are doing all they can. Which church i mean club do you follow. I am sure there would be no skeletons in there closet...:thumbsd:

[footy_fan_3]

Interesting to see that the RDFL umpires put a first game umpire with Simmo at Rockbank today. The kid is going to learn alot there:thumbsd:

[Trueblueroo]

I believe Humble in defeat is the words you use in situations like this! Simple as Riddell came to play and we didn't! Its black and white in picture for those that need a picture! Riddell are a damm good side!! They would have beaten anyone today, and sorry to say that killed us everywhere, it's a learning curve! Arrogance you may say is one thing but to be beaten by a side that is graceful and so powerful in victory is another!


Now let's here the spray's, nothing i haven't already heard already please gentlemen!

Spot on they were awsome, if there is a positive to be gained out of the game for the Kangas its that surely Riddell could'nt play that well again this season......................................... could they ?

[vantheman32]

very interesting result that but i wont be saying anything mate, we got them next week! kilmore played a very scrappy game, sprayin the scoreboard early, but managed to get the goals/point ratio above 50%. i was nearly right when i said a 100 point victory.

[Animosity]

The sense that riddell had around the ground was ' do not stop drilling them, every goal is a dagger in their heart', the attitude was still there right up until the final siren.... it was an absolute spanking, the roos were beaten Mentally,Physically and at their own game early and spent 3 1/2 quarters looking for answers which is how u dont beat a top-side contender.Its fine to go with them,but taking the game by the horns and controlling it is a different mindframe,the roos did not look like they wanted to control the game at any stage but to just chase and be happy with being competetive....when a team peaks as high as riddell did today, will/can they only get better from here? personally i would Expect the Bomber Powerhouse to give the next 3-4 sides an absolute smashing...Then slowly ease the pedal off as the season closes.Its just what happens in %90 of top rated football sides,local/afl/whatever ... its not just riddell,its any side... They hit a peak, get slapped around with a wet towel, re-group, and start again.The roos definatley will re-group,they are a great side and great sides regroup quickly,adress problems,learn their lessons and improve.They are surely not 100+ points worse than riddell, the bombers just played with extreme intensity with purpose and think it was actually a good time for the roos to cop a slogging as they will be ready to peak once again come finals time when they regroup after 1-2 weeks.A great display by the bombers today though showing just what it takes to win a premiership.....

Just worried about the local footy, very noble indeed howzat. Sounds to me like you have a little gripe with the kangas and have just rolled out that old chestnut to hide behind. You would be reasonably happy with todays result. Massive win by the bombers. Interesting call from Harry Wilson in regards to the coin that the tigers have thrown around, wouldn't mind getting Joeblows take on that. Riddell sitting out has been well documented over the years but I have known a few of the Lancefield boys and was under the impression that they sat out 1999 due to lack of numbers and lack of numbers only. You sound reasonably confident that wasn't the case Harry. Who are these Lancefield parasites you talk about?
What your take on this Pickles, your a Lancefield fella?

Learnining curve; most people on this thread thought Riddell were the real deal, Kangas and Woodend close second no disrespect to these clubs, James Petren a gun I told you earlier he would become one of the prominent forwards disregard at your own peril.

[Halffullonfence]

Congrats to the Melton Central boys on there after game attendance at Macedon, in a game they would of thought they would of won great to see them after the game in large numbers appreciated by those at MFC.

Thanks guys:thumbsu::thumbsu:

You are the disgrace mate. RDFL version of Caroline Wilson except she knows more about the game. One of the players that you listed as Diggers best played less than half a quarter! Astute observation their champ. Who do you think you are to be calling someone a disgrace? Sims has been playing hurt most of the year. Not sure how you would come to the conclusion that he is carrying Diggers from the few times you have seen Diggers.

I know I'm ugly but I didn't think I'm "Carro" ugly.

I'll say this now. This is my opinion loud and clear. Diggers Rest are THE BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT of the year. After blitzing in 2006, with a very similar side, they have become a shambles. I liked the way the Burra played yesterday, they moved the ball quickly and made an effort to get the ball into their forwards. But the disposal was very ordinary. Lancefield players such as Tim Collins and Stuey Stevenson will lap that shit up all day.

Now, I believe Diggers Rest can bounce back, but there seems to be a real lack of intent from the playing group. They lack the killer instinct. When I said Simsy was carrying the Burra, I meant that he seemed to be the only passionate bastard out there! Ruane was excellent on the weekend and I know he hurts when they lose, but how many others do you see hunched over after a game because they gave it 110% and couldn't get their side over the line ... not enough.

If I was playing at Diggers Rest and Hopkins was my coach, I would know the game plan inside out, but sometimes you need some bloody motivation! Hopkins is a good coach, but not a great coach. However, everyone does things differently.

Saturday's game is huge for both Sunbury Kangaroos and Diggers Rest. Its the match that no one can afford to lose. At Diggers, the Burra are every chance. However, they would want to be a bit more spritely this weekend if they are to defeat what is sure to be a very angry Roos' outfit. The Kangaroos players will be embarassed by their efforts in the Riddell game, and they will want to make an impression the the Burra like no other.

PS> My apologies about Lefty. I obviously noticed him when he was on the ground.

[matt_nicholls]

Who are these Lancefield parasites you talk about?
What your take on this Pickles, your a Lancefield fella?

Lancefield would pay the second or third least amount of money on players in this competition.

Players getting paid would probably, but not definitely be:

Scott Smithwick, Chris Collins (playing coach), Adrian Perry and Chris Kakoschke.

I don't believe Simon Choate would be reeling in any coin. Loves the club too much.

And the winner is..... Crookknee, right on the money first go... No more needs to be said... :thumbsu:

[Itsmyshow]

Anyone who doubted the Riddell juggernaut.. Bow to the best on one knee.. Riddell are a better side this year than they have been for the past 3 seasons.
The balance through the midfield, the multiple options up forward, the steady and united backline. Just superb.

The Bombers came to play, the Roos didn't.. We were flat and unwilling to work as hard as the Riddell guys.
James Petran had the ball on a string, Ryan Leitch was outstanding, Jason Allen marshalled the backline, Bellville had 30 plus, most concerning for opposition is that Waddsy started to get touch as well.

Good luck Kilmore, you are gonna need it....

Easily OMNI... Told you before the game yesterday and the past couple of weeks... You just wouldn't listen though.. CLEARLY still the best side in the competition...

But we got jibbed in the dew kickers....

Great win by the bombers-Obviously very ordinary performance by the Roos. They had a similar game against Woodend last year and were smashed at Woodend’s ground-Got to get that out of their system. Well done Matt for telling it how it is.That's what i want to read when i get on this site. Despite losing to the Roos a couple of weeks ago Woodend a lot closer to The Bombers than people think. Bombers, dont expect a game like that against the hawks-it wont happen. The bombers beat Romsey by 7 last week and talk was directed towards their third flag in a row-fair enough. However Woodend smashed Romsey by 10 and hardly a murmur. The Woodend boys are gearing up for Riddell game in a couple of weeks and will go into the game with no fear and plenty of confidence. Woodend have the game plan and match-ups to beat Riddell AGAIN!

Riddell sitting out has been well documented over the years but I have known a few of the Lancefield boys and was under the impression that they sat out 1999 due to lack of numbers and lack of numbers only. You sound reasonably confident that wasn't the case Harry. Who are these Lancefield parasites you talk about?
What your take on this Pickles, your a Lancefield fella?
I wasn't around the club back when it folded, so I'm in no position to comments on the reasons for it. Current day I would say Pickles would be somewhere near the mark. We're certainly not under any "salary cap pressure".

Great win by the bombers-Obviously very ordinary performance by the Roos. They had a similar game against Woodend last year and were smashed at Woodend’s ground-Got to get that out of their system. Well done Matt for telling it how it is.That's what i want to read when i get on this site. Despite losing to the Roos a couple of weeks ago Woodend a lot closer to The Bombers than people think. Bombers, dont expect a game like that against the hawks-it wont happen. The bombers beat Romsey by 7 last week and talk was directed towards their third flag in a row-fair enough. However Woodend smashed Romsey by 10 and hardly a murmur. The Woodend boys are gearing up for Riddell game in a couple of weeks and will go into the game with no fear and plenty of confidence. Woodend have the game plan and match-ups to beat Riddell AGAIN![/quote]

Woody, the reason there was so much talk about the Riddell win was because of the players missing last week when they smashed Romsey.. Not the fact that they smashed them... :thumbsu:

A game as big as this one should be played on the Sunday so as many people in the comp' can get along & enjoy.

Agree, for this league to take the next step and become a force, we need to schedule a few Sunday games throughout the season... :thumbsu:

[OMNIPOTENT_1]

Easily OMNI... Told you before the game yesterday and the past couple of weeks... You just wouldn't listen though.. CLEARLY still the best side in the competition...

But we got jibbed in the dew kickers....

I was listening, I was listening ! You know I respect your unerring accuracy on all things footy in our Domain, but it is only the half way mark of the season & all, & a lot can happen between now & finalls time.

Scoreline of course would have been closer, had the kangas not lost all theirs after the count in the third quater for having 19 men on the field.

And it aint over till the Fat Porky Sings ! So you get another 2 go's at him anyway.

IMS a number of posts this morning, are you working on a sunday? Sunday rates and on BF, can you get me a job?:D

[X_box_X]

Pretty much spot on with the two Rockbank players, mate. They are the only two I'd have in the top fifty overall as well. Just for interests sake, where would you rate Shirley and Krul?

[BDR68]

I reckon both would be start up players in any of the sides goin around at the moment and would get better by not havin to be the stand outs each week!

If Krul had played the whole season he would be close to top 30... Shirls is a great player and a great bloke too.. Probably just outside the top 50 though, possibly in a stronger team would rate right up there, when Rockbank made finals 6 years ago he was one of the top ruckman in the league.

When Rockbank made the final in 2002, Shirls broke his hip, I think round 4 against kilmore. Trezise rucked for the Rams that year...

isthat the same scott tresize that played 4 albanvale in the western region f.l few years ago now

if so his shit i cleaned him up a beauty 1 game lmao:)

Applaud you for having a go but as usual your list appears very SK biased. 4 of the top 10 and 9 of top 50 yet still get smashed by 100 + points. Bonnici & M Mcinerney definite top 10's. Other 2 fit in somewhere between 20-50.

Fair enough..

Remember that before this week the Roos were undefeated.. Sure, they were smashed this week, but the McInerney's couldn't have thier position affected by Saturday. Dum Dum has been superb so far this year.

Roos - 9
Riddell - 9
W/H - 9
Romsey - 4
Kilmore - 4
Diggers - 6
Macedon - 2
Lancefield - 3
Centrals - 2
Rockbank - 2

I wouldn't say it was that biased....

[Mongrel]

i understand the work that has been put in recently but i will find it hard to ever respect this club after the way they have conducted themselves in the past (commitee-players -supporters)as for the money a figure wasnt quoted but this person said he was shocked at some of the money being "handed out" i couldnt give a rats clacker about Sunbury kangaroos im just worried about local footy as a whole like harry wilson said we have seen whats happened to riddell and lancefield in the past .

thanks for your concern howzat.but firstly you wouldnt have a clue what money is being dished out at sunbury.secondly have a look at the direction this club is heading.perhaps the club should hire you to take care of their finances and supporter behaviour.you obviously have personal issues with the club,perhaps you should get your facts straight before opening ya big gob in the future:thumbsd:

congratulations to riddell on a fantastic win on the weekend.it has most certainly brought us back to earth.we wanted to find out where we were at,well now we know.theres a lot of improvement required to match the likes of riddell.no excuses needed,look forward to the diggers clash this week boys

[BrownDog2]

i see Matt Nicholls said Grubby was Red Carded for umpire abuse. How many weeks are the Kangaroos bracing for that Grubby will miss?

Best case I think one or two weeks. Duffy got seven or eight last year. But he was third time offender I believe.

[Mike Lyon]

i see Matt Nicholls said Grubby was Red Carded for umpire abuse. How many weeks are the Kangaroos bracing for that Grubby will miss?

I believe that the actual report was for insulting language towards an umpire, not abusive.

Straight to the tribunal though a Red, no set penalty's, will be interesting to see what the result is to be honest. Its almost a test case of sorts.

Personally, Mike thinks it is a little precious to be honest. But hey, if that was insulting then we should see plenty of reports over the coming weeks as well as plenty of Red Cards, its a common comment that is made week in week out towards umpires, strange to see it come out as a report now. I hear it towards umpires towards players every week.

I think we need to stop being so precious with matters like this. But im sure that the Clown Court will sort it out straight away, 16 weeks or so.

good list, my tip for the big mover in the second half of the year is james petran from riddell number 39 on the list to be close to top 10, he ran a muck against romsey a couple of weeks ago, and bagged 9 against sunbury whos usually got a pretty solid defense.

only a young kid but hes pretty solid up forward

Will be a shame if grubby sits out this week over such a charge any chance for a suspened sentence what precidents have the tribunal set for these type fo charges..
IMS maybe you can lets us no later in the week whether a few X diggers boys are playing in the 2nds

Like you Mike i want to see the best players out on the park. But lets not excuse poor discipline. Grub's a good player and there is no disputing that but in big games players need to keep there mouth shut. We all know what R D F L umpires can be like- so we shouldn't be surprised when these types of incidents occur. You have to learn to bite your tongue and take it out on your cat or dog at home and not penalise the team. Mongeral any chance you can tell us what was said. And yes it is a bit of a Kangaroo court all the better reason to make sure you dont give the umpy an excuse to go up.

Anyone who doubted the Riddell juggernaut.. Bow to the best on one knee.. Riddell are a better side this year than they have been for the past 3 seasons.
The balance through the midfield, the multiple options up forward, the steady and united backline. Just superb.

The Bombers came to play, the Roos didn't.. We were flat and unwilling to work as hard as the Riddell guys.
James Petran had the ball on a string, Ryan Leitch was outstanding, Jason Allen marshalled the backline, Bellville had 30 plus, most concerning for opposition is that Waddsy started to get touch as well.

Good luck Kilmore, you are gonna need it....

Seeing as you tippped the Roos to beat Riddell your now officially on Riddells juggernaut? 113 points is just a bit to big or a margin for a person in the know to get wrong.

Also with Lee James in that side last years team would be 5 goals better.

D. Bonnici (Kangaroos) – Will IMO be leading the Bowen Medal at this stage and deservedly so. (NR)
M.Robertson (Kilmore) – Some agree, some don’t, He is still one of the premier players in the comp. (1)
M.McInerney (Kangaroos) – Class, still winning plenty of the ball, has improved disposal this year. (5)
J.Bellville (Riddell) – Class player, would be leading the Riddell B&F. (22)
M.Allen (Riddell) – The best forward in the competition. (NR)
R.Dowling (Woodend) – Hawk barometer, just behind Allen as the best small fwd in the comp. (28)
L.McInerney (Kangaroos) – One of the main factors behind the Roos ladder position. (15)
Dave Cornish (Kilmore) – One of the top forwards in the competition (NR)

IMS I am not going to criticise, just ask what you factors you use when you make up these lists, I agree i think Bonnici and Robbo would be going very well in the Bowen, however if you compare to AFL the guys that have the biggest infleuence, on big games may not be the ones that win League B&F's.

Like you have mentioned with DUM DUM, who are the game breakers, Bomber besanko, and waddsy always seem to kick goals against us when the game is on the line. Would you change the top 10 say for guys who win 'big' games for their club!

Fair call Rodriguez.. I agree with all of the game breakers you mentioned above, I still honestly believe that not only would the 1 and 2 be polling well in the Bowen, but in my opinion ARE the guys having the biggest impact on these games, irrelevant on whether they are polling or not...

[Itsmyshow]

Seeing as you tippped the Roos to beat Riddell your now officially on Riddells juggernaut? 113 points is just a bit to big or a margin for a person in the know to get wrong.

Also with Lee James in that side last years team would be 5 goals better.

I have no doubt KA that Riddell would be 5 goals better off with James in the side... It would strengthen an already super football side.

I will always tip the Roos to win games KA, that is the club I am associated with. Riddell were superb on the weekend, but I know our boys can perform alot better than what they did on Saturday, and will do so...

no offence to mr cuff but who is he??
what credials duz this bloke have?
wat sorta possie he play?

hawker did notice a few changes to the team this week?

did any of the boys who got a chance stake a claim to be kept in?

did notice that dale cuinik was named bog. step straight in will he? noticed that there wewre a few seniors players in the 2's that must have played well 2.
will any of them step stright back in??

Cuinik is one of the classiest players in our competition, certain senior player who wont be playing ressies for too long I wouldn't think

[Mongrel]

Like you Mike i want to see the best players out on the park. But lets not excuse poor discipline. Grub's a good player and there is no disputing that but in big games players need to keep there mouth shut. We all know what R D F L umpires can be like- so we shouldn't be surprised when these types of incidents occur. You have to learn to bite your tongue and take it out on your cat or dog at home and not penalise the team. Mongeral any chance you can tell us what was said. And yes it is a bit of a Kangaroo court all the better reason to make sure you dont give the umpy an excuse to go up.

dont know woody i wasnt at the game pal.

Luke Barker back to woodend this week...

[vantheman32]

how do the coaches rate at the half way point?

[matt_nicholls]

Darrin Rowsell - 10/10 - perfect thus far

Mick Giddings - 9.5/10 - has done a magnificent job considering the players he has had missing.

Jarrod Dixon - 9/10 - depth got tested on Saturday, but no real faults.

Mark Dipietro and Darren Lingard - 6/10 - need to get more from their fringe players.

Terry Ahearn 7.5/10 - got the young side firing, needs to get wins against top-four sides in second half to improve his ranking.

Glen Hopkins 3.5/10 - hasn't got the players firing at all. needs to get better game plans and get his players inspired ... and fast!

Chris Collins 8/10 - is getting the best from his playing group considering how badly they performed last year. Will continue to improve.

Mark Greenshields 5/10 - It's a tough side to coach, not much flexibility in the ranks. But is looking at the job as a project, not a quick fix.

Gav Christeanson 5/10 - Lost a lot of players over summer, good wins against Lancefield and Melton Central though. Will be ruing the Rockbank loss and the thrashing at Kilmore.

Rockbank crew 5/10 - Considering Wayne Mackey left early days, the Rams are doing a good job. Have beaten Macedon, have been in touch with Kilmore, Sunbury Kangaroos and Woodend-Hesket at qtr time also.

Didn't know this happened a 21st and 18th in the playing group but that's no excuse for no show should of at least made some sort of showing at after game.

Speaking of after game thanks to the umpire/s who cleaned their boots on the internal walls of the Tony Clarke complex. If you wan't respect show some.:thumbsd::thumbsd::thumbsd:
