Matt. Risking bad taste, just wondering if you are running odds on how many weeks wadden will get.

Definitely not! Wasn't there, don't know the story, and yes, very bad taste. :thumbsd:
May I ask did Luke Barker play senior footy this week?
Yeah played well.

True very bad taste, but my point was more that it is any bodies guess as to what our tribunal is going to give anybody for an offence and that anything wouldn't be suprising.

Will get 8-10 weeks. Including 2 week suspended sentence that was hanging over his head from last season. Tribunal tried to make an example of grubby which obviously didn't work so will use this case to make a further example.
what do people think of number 12 matthew obrien from melton centrals, imo he is a terrific hard player and underated in most circles. any thoughts????
also the word is centrals are looking fwd to kilmore this week after a spiteful behind the play incident in their rd 3 clash.. should be a cracker with centrals running into form

If your 1st post is only trying to stir up Sh_t then let everyone know who you are or pi55 off. The league and this thread is tired off anonymous stirring pricks.
About time we stick to what matters, good footy and things that matter within the league.
Disappointing to hear the league is allegedly thinking seriously at the GF being played at Gisborne.

Hff, do you know of the reasons for league looking at gisborne. Correct me if i'm wrong but the hosting teams ground would stand to make a fair profit off such an event. If all this is true that is discraceful.

With the junior and senior bodies being one any (club) within the RDFL league can apply. Under cover viewing being a priority I believe.

Chances of a repeat of last years weather are slim, so I would like to think that an RDFL seniors side would be given the chance of making this money, covered area or not...

second to the ball, ill disciplined, unaccountable, slow, didnt play as a team.
Lancefield were up by 5 goals at one stage, and we had to play catch up footy, very frustrating game to watch. scores were even for probably the last 7 or 8 mins, match turned very frenetic and scrappy we were lucky to get away with a draw. Kudos to Lancefield for playing a good game of footy, Choate showed his class all day, phil in the ruck, jay#33, collo showed his footy smarts. For us there wasnt many standouts, Cornish bagged another 6 in a fantastic effort from limited supply, linton kemp was a shining light across the half back as usual, salter was dangerous when moved foward and jason king was good on the ball all day. So quiet when the siren went could have heard a pin drop

Maybe Matty had a point about playing hard games in prior weeks then relaxing against the so-called weaker sides ?

Forget the footy for a minute, who got the votes for best performed at the $$$$ draw last night?
lancefield are no longer the easy beats this year.they are playing a good attacking brand of footy.i expect them to claim another big scalp this season.
also well done to my former club macedon on a galent effort in horrible conditions.great 2 see them playing with plenty of passion.

I did not see any RDFL senior action on Saturday fellas. Was enthralled for a bit at the Broadford v Elmore clash up the road. Made a cameo appearance in the reserves for Lancefield though with two handballs for the day, a couple of one percenters and six rotations on and off the interchange.
It was good to see Lancefield hold on for a draw though. By the sounds of it they played the better footy for much of the day. Hopefully this gives Kilmore a kick up the arse and they respond by beating Melton Central this weekend, before coming up against the top-four sides in succession.
One thing is clear, the Blues are not a wet-weather outfit, although they did beat the Redbacks in the mud last year and went close against Riddell in round one this year. Their two worst efforts were at Woodend-Hesket earlier this season and on Saturday.
Mongrel and fellow Sunbury Kangaroos, did Macedon come good in the rooms after the match? Who had the most bourbon, HFF or IMS?

Disappointing to hear the league is allegedly thinking seriously at the GF being played at Gisborne.
Why wouldnt they give Gisborne a go? Nuetral venue, good facilities and Gisborne this year have made their ground available for rdjfl interleague games and training and also quite a few catch up night games for clubs other than Gisborne.

I don't Lancefield haven't done anything wrong to lose it. Will have more undercover areas this year, and frankly, it is a better venue than Gisborne. Better carparking, more places to sell food and drink etc. Surface is in terrific condition, and in the last two seasons they have had little or no traffic on it for three weeks before the game, so it comes up perfect.
I don't think it will change. If it goes to Gisborne expect a lot of clubs to be upset.

Good facilities- What does its hot dog machine turn over more hotdogs than any other in the district? Come on B.B you cant seriously suggest that Gisborne's facilities are any better than Lancefields-The only good thing about Gisborne is you can park your car outside the old cop shop and walk around for free....ah s*it did i say that out loud!

Harry would like to weigh into this Grand Final debate if he may.
The RDFL Grand Final should be played at a venue that is part of the RDFL. Simple!!
It would make sense to hold it at a venue outside of the RDFL if our venues weren't up to scratch, as far as the surface is concerned. The spectators will attend no matter where the game is held or what facilities they have. The Grand Final is exactly that, it's GRAND and it's the FINAL. Let's not let anything other than the game be a priority. It's the day when everyone stands up, when every player digs in, when the ball becomes more important than life itself!! We want the best surface to host the 2 best sides, so the spectators can watch the best standard of footy possible. The revenue is an added bonus to the club hosting. The more we as the general public who pay to go and see the RDFL games put back into the RDFL and the clubs involved the better the league will be in future.
I have nothing against the Gisborne Football Club or their facilities. I would just rather see the game be played within the RDFL region.

Some good signs against Macedon, things on the up after what you could say a little form slump! With a depleted forward line with the likes of Handicoot, G.Ploog, J.Ploog, Yarwood and Minskin out the arrangment was looking good!
Expect alomst all of these blokes to line up this week, in what should be a blockbuster! Midfield looking the part again on the weekend, minus Grubby and the back line standing strong! Up and about again!!!
You could almost put the line through Diggers now i think with Lancefield shapping up to be a real threat on any day! Whats the feeling at the field this week after a tie?
Umpiring in our game weekend i thought was the best i have seen in the RDFL in my two years in the comp, credit to the guys, my opinion only though!

Standouts
D Helmers in what i thought, a game close to his best form i have seen in a while, Bonici and Mark Grub were their usual self! Boydy was good across half forward! Hole good in spurts, the big Spud Regal himself steve James playing well! Good signs all round!

Mike was very impressed with the Record on the weekend. A good layout and something that should be - Nay, Must be done next year on a weekly basis.
Centrals finally disposed of a weaker outfit over the weekend, the Kangaroos had a comfortable win even though depleted, Kilmore left the door wide open for Diggers Rest if they are good enough. Dave Cornish is the best forward in our game, even though his only challenger missed with a broken hand. Sipthorp is back and a danger to opposition sides. Lancefield showed they will be a force from next year onwards.
Have heard a little whisper that young Nipper Wright has a severe cork in his shin, that could be a little worse than a cork.
Gisborne being looked at as a possible finals venue, if it is the best venue, has to be looked at. ON ONE CONDITION. That all revenue from the game goes to RDFL clubs and RDFL clubs ONLY!!!
Some of my well informed friends in well informed circles have advised me that my prediction of Matt Robertson for the Bowen Medal may be incorrect, apparently after polling well early and another probable 3 votes on Saturday my prediction should be reading Daniel Bonnici. After watching the young man against Centrals I would possibly have to concur and change my prediction.
Wadden should receive at least 6 coupled with the 2 suspended and push himself close to the 16 week limit.
Brian Wheelahan should be rated in the top 5 in the competition.
These are Mike's observations after Round 11 of the RDFL.

9 Jul 2007, 12:46
God damn it!! That's the second time Harry has given a thorough report, submitted it and then the BigFooty server is too busy, and I've lost my whole post. :mad:
Here we go again
Romsey V Diggers Rest
In what was a must win for the Burra, they came out allguns firing and found themselves with a 20 point lead at half time. The Redbacks finally found some form in the 3rd quarter and went into 3/4 time 12 points up to win the game by 17 points. A very good result for Romsey condsidering they ha no Dawson, no Luke Edwards, no Matt McLellan, no Dave Keenan, Tim Cox on the bench with soreness from last week. On the other hand Simms, Janner and Heritage were standout performers for Diggers. Paul Evans, Ben John and Ryan Connellan were best afield for Romsey. Romsey by 17 points, Harry's Tip: Romsey by 18 points. (oh so close)
Riddell V Woodend
We'll we're probably lucky this game wasn't scheduled for Sunday. With a scoreline of 5.6 to 2.2 it would have been a very scrappy game from a spectators point of view. As far as the alleged "Wadden Incident", the league has set a precident, he has weeks hanging over his head and I wouldn't expect to see him play again prior to finals. The result will be interesting on Tuesday night, only time will tell. This game, IMO only, shows, pretty accuratley too, where these side are at, Riddell keep getting the job done and Woodend aren't far behind. A 22 point win for Riddell, Harry's tip - Riddell by 25 points. (Oh so close again)
Sunbury V Macedon
Harry tipped it: "Roos by 8 goals". Not too surprising though. The Roos with some noticeable outs have showed the rest of the league that they have depth and deserve to be 10-1. Sunbury boys too physically strong for the young Macedon side. From reports, Helmers was near his best form which may be a thron in Romsey's side net week. Roos by 8 goals. (Harry's on the money)
Melton Centrals V Rockbank
While we've heard this before, "Rockbank stood up and had a real go" it was Melton's onballers that controlled the game. Harry tipped an upset here, only to be proven wrong. (Only the second time it's happened:D). Wheelan is obviously one of the best going around. A 6 goal win in those conditions is probably deserved of a larger margin. Harrys tip: Rockbank by 3 goals (Oh so wrong, damn it!!)
Kilmore V Lancefield
Harry has to suck up his pride and eat some words from Friday's post here: "Lancefield will have their work cut out if they are going to get anywhere near the blues" and "Kilmore just too strong". There, I've done it and god they tasted bad. To their credit Lancefield have come away with what they would probably consider a victory. That said, they should have walked away withthe 4 points given they had a 5 goal lead at some stage. Did tehy run out of legs or did Kilmore get jumped att he start? Either way, Kilmore have left the door open for Diggers, and Lancefield can they sneak up? Time will tell. I will get one thing back though, I did mention on Friday: "The ever present Choate, Collins and Conway will always give the Lancefield faithfull something to hold onto" and that they did. Well done boys. Harry's Tip: Kilmore by 6 goals. (Words already eaten!!)

Just on gisborne being looked at as avenue for GF, due to juniors being in rdfl.
If the Gisborne junior football club were to host a senior grand final it will get very interesting, considering they could possibly not have a liquor licence, Picture it boys, IMS,HFF Omni and Mongrel all sitting back with a can of coke in their hand:D.
If you were to look at Gisborne, why not look at the other premier venue central to the league. Clarke Oval sunbury. lions juniors also in this league.

Just on gisborne being looked at as avenue for GF, due to juniors being in rdfl.
If the Gisborne junior football club were to host a senior grand final it will get very interesting, considering they could possibly not have a liquor licence, Picture it boys, IMS,HFF Omni and Mongrel all sitting back with a can of coke in their hand:D.
Long as it had "ICE" in it, I dont see a problem with that, can get some of a "Relation" apparently !

no doubt the backline would have had 2 work overtime.i really rate woodend.i suppose we make mistakes in the heat of battle,but judging what grub copped i think heath is in a bit of strife.
on a different note our game on the weekend was that wet and cold,hence the leagues low scores this weekend.i heard sippy played well?

Went.............. ok considering the conditions pal, did enough to suggest he can play a bit.
Rowsell was superb though with his moves when they were playing with 17.
They are now calling him Darren ARowsell over there cause he is giving all the supporters a Stiffy with his Brilliant coaching,........................... even the females ones !

Yeah sippy was clearly woodends best. Still looks a bit on heavy side but he is so tough and hard at ball. Wadden got red card but only off for 15 min.

Welcome mate, Sunbury are a quality side so no suprise that they are ready to unleash. Kilmore will be looking for 2 strong games to get some momentum for the sunbury game. First we have to get past Melton this week, will be a challenge out in middle of nowhere. Diggers at home will be a great clash and will be lots of drinks consumed afterwards. im a tad dissapointed Kilty left diggers had a good night last yr drinkin with him
Sounds like the umpires will be out and about this week, with rumours that 2 umps will be attending all club sessions on thursday night, to mix with the boys and get a feeling of the clubs, also hanging around for a little bit afterwards.
Sounds like a great idea Gilesy:thumbsu:
I hope all clubs welcome them in for the night. good opportunity for players and umps to ask a question or 2 and see what everybody is like off the field.

Wadden off for the game but another player on after 15 minutes! Agreed Scooter is a good coach but after they gained control of the game and when Wadden was off he simply pushed numbers behind the ball-not really ground breaking coaching tactics there OM-but enough to strangle Woodends forwardline and make it hard for their forwards. Woodend forwardline also made a little easier for Riddell by not pushing to the right positions across the half forwardline.

KILMORE Football Club has lost the services of young star Corey Mills for the rest of the season, after the key-position player went down with a serious leg injury on Saturday.
After going up for a mark, Mills was tackled by a Lancefield opponent as he hit the ground, forcing his leg and ankle to buckle.
He was carried off the ground and taken by ambulance to the Northern Hospital, where it was revealed that Mills has snapped his fibula, fractured his ankle and broken a bone in his foot.
A brother of senior coach Terry Ahearn, Mills is surely going to be missed by the club.
The absence of a highly skilled half-forward and pinch-hit ruckman will leave a hole in the Blues’ line-up.

Diggers Rest Vs Rockbank
A chance for the Burra to find some form against the Rams. The Burra really need to find a kick start to their season before they meet Kilmore in what looks like will be the season decider, this is the game to find the form. Dan Reilly has been solid all year and Andrew Klooster has been the standout, maybe its time for Diggers to try someone else out of the forward line to create a forward option.. Did anyone say Andrew Bujeya out of Full Forward.
The Rams will be disappointed with their loss to Centrals last week. I thought with the way the Rams had been playing that they would be a chance, unfortunately not, Centrals smashed them, the Rams need to get plenty out of Walker, Nicholson, Krul and Taylor every week to be a chance, Shirley should be looked at to ruck if he is fit to free up Krul. Play Krul out of CHF and Walker on the ball.
Diggers by 50pts
Lancefield Vs Woodend/Hesket
The Tigers pushed Kilmore all the way last week, while being disappointed in the loss, they have to look at the turn around from the first game, 20 odd goal turn around is a pretty good result. The Tigers are still getting their contributions from the what I like to call "Triple C's" Choate, Conway and Collins. If they can get more from Graham, Milner and the other Collins they will go a long way to continuing their improvement, after not getting the win against Kilmore, the Tigers have to look at building for next year now. Blood some more kids and give them more game time.
The Hawks will be disappointed with last weeks loss to the Bombers, but what can really be taken from that game. The return of Luke Barker is a boost, Sippy is starting to get touch, the rest of the game was a scrap bowl. Woodend are a massive contender, they need to settle their lineup now leading into finals and just ensure their game plan is strong enough to take them all the way. Rick Dowling is still the key forward for the Hawks, Collo, if you are reading this, TAG JOHNNO....
Woodend by 35pts
Macedon FC Vs Riddell
The Cats were brave last week after quarter time, the young guys are really coming of age and again, their ball use was impressive. Losing Nipper Wright has hurt, but Aaron Christianson played the best game I have seen him play on Saturday, it reminded me of what Wheelahan does at Centrals, he controlled the game for the Cats. They dont have the cattle just yet, but the Cats work as hard as any team in the competition, a credit to Gav Christianson.
Not much more can be said about the Bombers, they are on top looking down, their midfield is controlling games, if they start to battle they just throw someone else in their and the job gets done. Wadden was stupid, no doubt, but the Bombers have so many options will it hurt them that much? Its the young guns that are doing the damage for the Bombers, Leitch, Petran, Box, Climas all dominating games at the moment, add Bellville and Blade who are just smashing opponents and the Bombers are a formidable force. Cats - Pressure on midfield supply...
Riddell by 63pts
Melton Central Vs Kilmore
Centrals had a solid win last week and will be happy with moving away from the bottom rungs of the ladder, as mentioned, Wheelahan is one of the premier players in the competition and if he gets continued support from his team mates Centrals will only get better and better. If Greenshields plays he will cause Kilmore headaches, a very talented footballer who has the ability to kick a bag of goals. Bullen has been solid this year, but can be better, hopefully that comes soon, a bit of spite in this one due to the first game this year should see a Centrals fired up and looking for an upset.
Kilmore had been impressive up until last week, but they have now left the door open wide for a Diggers challenge, the Blues not only need a win here, but need to make it a big one to build the confidence. Cornish is dominating up forward and the return of Jason King has made a difference to the Blues lineup. Youngsters Ramsdale and Hede need to have more of an impact on the game as both players run and carry the ball to break the lines, Kilmore need this to happen to be effective. A huge game in the context of the Blues season. Centrals, play Bullen on Cornish and clog the middle of the ground..
Kilmore by 12pts
Match of the Round
Sunbury Kangaroos Vs Romsey - NAIDOC Celebration game.
The Roos found some form last week against the Cats and will be looking to continue that this week. Some players returning from injury have strengthened the lineup and the Roos will be looking forward to a more settled lineup this week. The Roos have tried different things over the past few weeks and while some have bombed, some things worked really well for them. The return of Boyd has been a bonus and the backline has been exceptional in recent times. The Roos will need everyone firing this week coming up against the Redbacks who had a great win last week.
The Redbacks are starting to hit their straps and will have players returning this week for this big game. Morgan has been good all year, as has Hollywood out on the wing, McClellan provides their drive and the Redbacks will be looking for more from their forwards to have an impact this week. Both sides will be looking for a win here to consolodate their positions on in the 5. Should be a ripper clash.
Roos to win.

Riddell home in "Slog" of the day 5.6 to Woodend 2.2.
Not much to be seen in both sides given the conditions.
Just maybe strength department, Riddell to powerful !
Some noteable outs for both teams prior to bounce.
TOOL OF THE WEEK................... Heath Wadden, some people just will not learn !
Reported for (allegedly of course) screaming at umpire " Your a F*****g Cheat" !
It's amazing that people don't get their facts correct. The report was for allegedly, calling the umpire "A Cheat" as per the report card. It's a well known fact the RDFL cannot get any decent umpires and hasn't for years. The umpires should be held accountable for their bad decisions, decisions that could cost teams games and ultimately premierships. If you get paid to do a job, like me, you either do it properly or don't do it at all. I would think that if you get hit, not one but twice in the head in a contest that you should be given a free kick and sometimes frustration kicks in and things get out of hand.

Good call IMS. Even doing junior umpiring I reckon there are times you have blown the whistle, paid a free kick ... only to replay it back in your mind and think that perhaps it wasn't there. I don't think there are any cheats in the RDFL umpires association.

Your so right sloth. I left the WRFL this season after 6 games not only because of the standard was terrible but week in week out having to put up with 40-50 something old men trying to umpire the game. We should count ourselves so lucky that we get umpires that have accreditation, want to learn the rules and put up with the crap from simple minded people every week.
WRFL Div 2 reserves had a club umpire assaulted last week and that player was given a life ban. The wash up from this assault suggests the club umpire was cheating for his own side. This week a 15yo official umpire was king hit by a u/18 player who I'm sure will also get a life ban.
Lets support our umpires and I suggest to doitright to speak to gilesy about pulling on the orange shirt next season seeing as he thinks he could do better

The umpires do their best to do the best job. Sure, everyone has issues with different people, but the umpires do their best every week not to let issues influence the way they umpire a game, I believe this is the case in generally all cases.. Umpires get paid a pittance to umpire, they dont deserve the abuse they sometimes cop. Their job will always be made harder by the abuse of players etc. Remember that next time you go to open that monsterous trap of yours to abuse one of them, maybe if you just keep the lips sealed the next decision will go your way...
I think overall the umpires in our comp do a mighty job, sometimes I get frustrated and annoyed with decisions, but that is beauty of our wonderful games, the human error that creates excitement and controversy...
