Murray Football League - Thirds

[bystanding backman]

Just thought that we could let the little men have their say on here while the rest on the other thread that way to minimise confusion between seniors/second and the juniors. Sorry the thread should have said thirds and fourths

Haha good idea mate. I thought about doing the same.

[Katandra 3rds Bk2Bk]

so who will have the strong thirds side this season any predictions? i see Congupna hav alot of new star players.. Jon Tuckett being one of them to look out for can be a very damaging player.:thumbsu:

[storky26]

yes jon tuckett can be very damaging also with the likes of george kontakos, luke mclusky and mark ryan

[Zackman]

Tongala V Sunshine U/18's this saturday

[FullForward]

yes jon tuckett can be very damaging also with the likes of george kontakos, luke mclusky and mark ryan

Yes good players. Luke Mclusky will mis the first few games with a hand injury. Dont forget about Steele Sidebottom and Matt Pianto both very good and classy players. How will Mark Ryan go this year? What position will he play?

Mark will play up forward this year will go alright. How bout George Kontakos and Adam Brassil?

[roccafrom60]

Mark will play up forward this year will go alright. How bout George Kontakos and Adam Brassil?
So Congupna are getting a few blow in's from Shepparton teams are they?

[FullForward]

Mark will play up forward this year will go alright. How bout George Kontakos and Adam Brassil?

Played against George last season was pretty good but a bit of a sheepdog though. Dont know about Adam heard that he is pretty good

[marc_murphy88]

Congupna will be very good but there is always a side from up near the Murray that flies under the radar like a Mulwala or Deniliquin. Sid and Pianto might not play many 3's games becuase Trav likes to blood plenty of youngers boys in the 1s which is good. Muggleton is a good mark and will be a presence at CHF. Brassil is a smart in and under player. Tuckett is being overrated a little I reckon... Struggled last year in the Wanganui U16s. Kontakos, McClusky and Ryan not much to write home about I wouldn't think. Mick Looby still eligible for 3's yeah?

Echuca United will play Deniliquin in 3rds and 4ths in a practice match at Deniliquin this Saturday.

Moama will be more competitive this season compared to 2006. They have gained a number of reasonable players from Echuca Un.16's who will play this season with Moama and then swap back to Echuca to play Un.18s.

Very strong mate. They will continue their strong performances as seen in the past 6-7 seasons and I wouldn't be supprised if both sides make it into September action. Both the 3rds and 4ths are getting strong numbers on the track each week and both sides possess a great deal of talent.

Key players for Echuca United: Bevan Charlton-White, Daniel Branch, Jarrod Day, Damian Russell, Clayton Zanella, Trent Harrison and a young bloke named Brodie, his last name escapes me at the minute. He's around the 6ft 6 mark and has been having a run in the ruck in the senior practice matches. The kid can play.

Key players for Moama: Adrian Beer, Josh Barker, Trent Castles, Angus Grigg, Daniel Thorpe and Jesse Pridham.

Thats a fair effort to win by that much with those players out, moama have gained some handy players this season.

Who were the stand out players for Tongala?
Were both sides at full strength?

[Tigger#1]

Who were the stand out players for Tongala?
Were both sides at full strength?

Rhys Arnold, Tom Wyatt, Billy Warren, Matt Tyler, Dylan Smith, and Jordan Souter, if you talking about the game between Tongala and Kyabram with the question of both being at full strength, Ky had a few players out and they kicked something like 20 behinds, other than that it was pretty close for the whole game.

[Sonic14]

um zack betson, lachlan ingram, liam reeves, jon tuckett. Pianto didnt play either did steele sidebottom or sam muggleton n chris dickson.

Those 4 boys were playing 1's im guessing, how did they go there?

Congupna werent that bad, give the yound boys some times, missin some star players who play seniors in steele sidebottom, matt pianto, dont be surprise if these boys play a couple of game and slot in nicely if the seniors dont go far or dont make finals.

You boys love talking up Steele and Matt don't you!! We have already heard about how good they are, but give it a rest mate. There are plenty of other very good players from other clubs in the MFL, but there isn't anyone on here calling them superstars.

That's not my point mate. I said that we have already heard about how great Steele Sidebottom is and good luck to the kid. I have seen him play and played against him and there is no doubt he is a quality player.

Are you involved in the Murray League mate? Seen every Un.17 team play?

Stop misquoting me fellas. I never said that their were any superstars in the Un.17s competition. Although, there are some good players which include Henry Johnston (Deniliquin), Dylan Flanagan (Mulwala), Robb Jewell (Finley), Broddy Dickson, Bevan Charlton-White, Jaryd Day (Echuca United) and Oliver Rennie (Tocumwal).

All I was getting at is that we have already heard about how good Steele Sidebottom is and that it does not need to be spoken about continually on here. When the bloke racks up 40 touches and kicks 10 goals, then start raving about him. ;)

[Tigger#1]

Alot, first yearers and a few second yearers play for the under 16's and have to perform well to show that they can play at under 17's level. Over the 2 practice matches and the one home and aways season game only one first yearer has had a game for under 17's, and their are some good quality first years. It's becoming more harder to get a game in under 17's.

what spot do you predict to finsih?

[hank1]

tigger? goes alright, great kick.

Tigger is no.1 as you may be able to work out by his alias

[Simmy #18]

Jordan Souter is no.3 and i think hanks takin the piss a bit here cos jordo had an injury and couldnt kick on his right foot so he played a game only kicking on his left. Played and kicked two goals and got in the best, very good for on his opposite foot all game.

[Tigger#1]

what spot do you predict to finsih?

I don't want to say a spot because at the end of the season it might come back to bite me on the butt, but i do believe we will make finals.

if your talking about were tonnie will finish, my prediction is 2nd or 1st. i played them in a practice match early before the season started they appear to be a good unit who all work for one and another to achieve one goal. our team was an under 18 side although very young we only just beat them, with their hard running and team like game style i think they are a real show when finals come around in september.

Tongala

who are the quality players in the comp and which are the most promising sides?

I'd say Mulwala will be premiers this year. tom wilson and will doyle from mulwala should dominate this year. Don't know much about the tongala boys but they have a had a good start this year beating finley by a fair bit.

who is the congupna captain?

I played agaisnt congupna 1st round and there didn't seem to be any real

standouts mainly because steele sidebottom and matt pianto played

1sts. Muggleton is a pretty strong forward, congupna need a few players

to step it up a bit if sidebottom and pianto are gunna be playing 1sts all year.

The first game generally is different to the rest of season congupna didnt play well that day at all, still waiting for two keys players in Chris Dickson and Luke Wunsch to return from injury.
