Ill tel ya the players to come in, The machine, the best at exractions and runs all day, Our center half back comes in, center half foward also returns, 6 running players also returns. if thats not going to lift the team i dont know what will. I think it will be a good game though.

saw 10 or 15 minutes of the heights reserves game on my way to albanvale. how cum 42 wasn't playing he has been the best in the 3 games that I have seen.
Was he in the seniors or did number 8 eat him?
Yes 42 is Ahmed better known as 'the glow worm' and is a very good player. I heard that there were 3 big guys eating him behind the club rooms so it wasn't just number 8. His brother Chinny better known as 'the sugar farmer' is also a chance to play this week.

Yeah Craig goes well. Couldn't play every week due to work commitments, but the club had hopes that he would become a regular senior footballer (next year). Nice left foot and is handy around goal. Skinny wingman/half forward.
About 20 years old and only joined North Footscray this year. Sorry to see him go.

Yeah same bloke typewriter.
He was struggled early in the ones this year and just hasnt been able to make his way back in the side. He also coached our 18's and I think at the moment he is enjoying that more than actually playing. He is very handy playing for us in the magoos though. We are not complaining.

harvey played well last week played on stafferi and done a great job.....kept him to 2 goals........and beat him in the air....maybe 18's he was a good ruckmen but i recon is a little slow around the ground in the snrs.........thanx for the tip anyway.......got plenty of tall timber for the ruck...... a couple out last week and he did the job for us..........
1 or 2 18's have been playing every week in the 1sts

i love the cockiness, only time will tell. What you think we are on top of the ladder for fun.
Not sure if you are top of the ladder for fun Tats but you were smashed today. North only had 16 or 17 players for over a quarter. Reserves will only get stronger as there are plenty of players to come back.
Don't want to sound like a bad sport but the Heights umpire was a disgrace. I think a few of our players could have behaved better at times, but he was deliberately inciting trouble. He actually fired up the team to kick clear.
Scott O'Donnell BOG for North, closely followed by Matty Young with 5 goals in a commanding display up forward and in the ruck.
Tats was OK for Heights, along with Mizzi(?) on the wing
Lavo won their 4th reserves match for the season and second in a row, great game yesterday apart from the 1st quarter, goals spread all round and many great players all over the ground.
Credit must be given to north, they came to play and we really gave it a crack till the last 10 min. Oh well at least we play with good spirit. U blokes are the bad sport and you should be ashamed of your selves pushing the umpire and back chatting and giving him shit all game. U say why he wasnt giving you any free kicks. That ok we lost not the end of the world, when finals come hopefully we will bet yous when it counts. You liked my game didnt ya red devil.

Yes tats, you are right & hope those morons that got reported get weeks. From what I hear one of them will lose his permit to play with this 16 week rule the league have, and I say GOOD RIDDANCE. Couldnt have happened to a nicer club...
But apart from those tools that got reported & the jerk that got sent off, well done to the other 18 players on the team, they turned it up when they needed to & just outplayed sunshine heights. I give credit where credit is due & Nth Footscray reserves definitley deserved it....enjoy ur win.

During the week the WRFL changed the result from the West Footscray/ North Sunshine game in the reserves from a few weeks ago because North had 19 players on the ground at one stage so expect the ladder to change slightly.
Heading into finals which teams do u think will make it, which team has the potential to go all the way?

Albanvale

Albanvale - Braybrook/deer park/north f
North f - Wynd/wests/alban
Wests - Deer park/North f/north s
North Sun - Brunswick/wynd/wests
Wyndamvale - North f/north sun/western magpies
particularly the last fortnight i think will determine who finishes 3rd 4th and 5th and who just misses out. i think its pretty settled with both heights and albanvales run home that they should finsih 1-2 anybody disagree?

North Sunshine r struggling, they got done by western magpies,they should get over brunswick, but the way they played last week probably just, but definitely not against wests or wyndhamvale, unfortunately Western Magpies r coming home like a steam train, but unfortunately a couple of weeks too late.

Yeah it does look as though the top 2 are set.
North Foots have three tough ones. I guess its not a bad thing though... as we will be meeting the same sides come finals time and would rather play games played against better sides than having walk overs against rubble.

I agree it will be close not because it's an even team but because of players going up and down, being out injured and being inconsistant. I think Tatts better known as 'the poodle' will be top 5 with a good chance of winning it, doesn't play many bad games.

hey tats, bobby, rocket, bangers is it true the big number 8 will be making his much anticipated return this week against the mighty brookers. im sure big fais and mushy would be rapt to have him hitting them on the tits from 55m away (if he can first get through the warm ups and then pull the splinters out of his dup).
on a more serious note id like to congratulate Mark 'Bomber' Thomson on him playing the big 450 tomoro. i wish him well and hope he enjoys the moment.
it will also be a loss to the 2s in seeing Jumping Jimmy Weston go back and play in the 1s after his cameo in the 2s last week but it will be great to have another great senior player coming back from injury through the 2s this week. again hilighting the depth of the mighty dragons
Yer typewriter your news is correct, the big number 8 is back this week, i hope he gets through unscaved and he can get back his good form. Good luck to bomber on his 450 i hope he can enjoy the game with a win.
Typewritter how did you see the big number 8 yesterday, i thought he was getting back to some form, big last week for the double chance and i hope North get up and beat aubanvale, as this will give us the week off in the first final. Two bad injures for us yesterday, scruffy and chinni both fell down to injury but i think chinni will be right for next week

He showed a lot of skill and will only get better the fitter he gets.
Big Faisel is in career best form and stringing together some good games. He is capable of anything and would have close to the best set of hands in the league. I hear that he is hoping the weather doesnt warm up too much because of the Turkish rug he wears under his jumper he is warm enough already. I actually saw a couple of players on a cold day putting their hands up the back of his jumper at quarter time to warm up.

yeah even took his position but he was an imposter with almost as good skills, and almost dominated like he does.
any tips for the big albanvale and norths game?
huge contest in terms of ladder positions a loss to the cobras and the dragons could finish on top which has its advantages and disadvantages.
im tipping the devils to just pip them and avenge last weeks loss. im hoping the cobras get up tho as i would rather not have the first week off in the finals
Its going to be a big last week in the ressies, i heard the machine is primed for finals and will want to show all his skills in front of a bigger crowd. Typewritter hows the hammys pulling up, i herad the machine plays 30% better with your presence in the middle.

Good luck to the teams contesting the finals. Must say the magpies had a great late charge to the finals only to miss out. We finished up with 9-8 and beat wyndhamvale and north sunshine who were above us. Yeah yeah, you may say so what, but improving on one win last year is a fair effort, we only lost to the top two teams by 40 (obviously they are the best two teams) when we had our full team and have a lot of players learning the trade.
I think West Footscray will win it, I do not mean to play down the efforts of Sunshine Heights and Albanvale, but Wests have been awesome lately and seem to be on a roll. Good luck to the Heights guys from this forum, most of all big #8, I like reading his comments on this forum he seems to have a good head on him and tells it how he sees it.

What a finals series it's going to be in the reserves this year. Realistically any of the top 4 side have a chance of going all the way, and I think it will come down to which side can connect together the best in the next 4 weeks.
With all top 4 senior side's also making finals, I'm sure there will be many changes to all reserve teams and finding the right chemistry could end up being the deciding factor. Good Luck to all.

Would have thought that with no seniors playing in the finals that North Sunshine might go alright (if they get past North Footscray this week).
I think West are favourites followed by Heights, North Footscray, Albanvale and NSunshine.

True, they'd wanna have some senior players in, I'm just judging by what I have seen and played against. I guess it could make some sorta difference.
Once the finals start we will have REAL umpires and that will see Albanvale lose in straight sets. The bloke who umpires for them is an absolute disgrace.....no I'll go one further and just call him a plain old cheat!!!!!!!!

look 95% of the 2s umpires do the best job they can its only natural for them to favour the club they follow. the bottom line is without their assistance we wouldnt have a 2s competition. but come finals when we get proper umpires it will be a big culture shock for most players.

The guy who umpired for Heights the other week showed potential, I think his name was Phil. Potential to make everyone fall over laughing.

very true TD but there would have been no game without him

Look I totally understand that we wouldnt have a game without them.
I believe a good ressies umpire is a guy who lets it go and only pays the VERY obvious frees and sends off the blokes who throw cheap punches in front of the umpire.
Not one who only pays frees when the team they are umpiring for starts yelling for frees. Or one who will watch their team throw punches and do nothing about it and then send off the other teams players for minor incidents.
When a game is decided by less than 9 or 10 points the umpires can have a say in the game, especially with bullcrap 50m penalties.
I've played in a game where one umpire was some biast it wasn't funny. Then the other umpire started doing it and the game turned into an absolute joke

That's probably happened in about 10 of the 15 games I played this year. It does get frustrating and the players could end up taking it out thus starting a brawl.
Does anyone know the reasoning behind the reserves not having official umpires?

I believe that the WRFL do not have enough field umpires to allow official ones for every game. Also being that Div 1 is the 'premier' competition they feel that Div 2 ressies is shit football & doesnt deserve umpires....
In saying that I find it ridiculous that ALL under 18's (with the exception of maybe 1 or 2 games) get official umpires every week....
Also the fact that there is an abundance of boundary umpires, sometimes we even get 2 per side of the ground....mind you the other point is that if the league do not supply umpires the club has to & it states in the rules that boundary umpires must be 16 years of age or over....wonder how many of the WRFL umpires are over 16?????
A possible solution could be that each game receives one official field umpire & the home team has to provide a club umpire that way the official umpire can keep control of it all.....who cares if Div 1 reserves only get 1 umpire? Certainly in games like Glenorden V Port Colts (where u know the result beforehand) then having no umpires & using club umpires would be sufficient....

i play for the colts spent 1/2 the year in the 2's and we have only had official umpires twice... and on the we played spotty top 3 clash and had club umpires who ruined a great game of football so it seems thre is just a mass shortege everywhere

div 1 reserves often dont have any feild umps clubs supply 1 each and on most occasions are better than wrfl official umps anyone agree

i think we can thank the idiots like the one from Sunshine under 18's for belting an umpire as a reason why nobody wants to umpire

West to smash Albanvale next week by 10 goals plus
Heights to win on the Sunday
Albanvale to beat Heights following week

Fair predictions. Although I wouldn't completely write off Heights yet. (Yes their may be some bias in my opinion) But we did put in a pretty average performance on the weekend and only walked away with a 15 point loss. Full credit to west, they were the better team on the day and deserved their win. But we do have the ability to beat them should we meet again.
Some poor kicking and bad decision making by our players will hopefully improve next week.
Also looking to regaining our full forward this week, which will be a huge inclusion.
So beware the Dragons.

This week against Wests there were several players who were underdone because of coming back from injury. Half the team decided to watch Wests play instead of playing from the first bounce. We made some poor decisions when attacking and our structure just wasn't quite right.
You will find that when we play North Foots next week that we will be alot more focused and harder at it. Wests gave us a good wake-up call as we had played softer sides just before finals.
North Foots will think this will be a walkover due to the fact that in Rd 11 they beat us by 43points. Let me warn any Devil readers that this side has changed drastically. We are a serious threat to the FLAG!
Havn't had a chance to check the Wests side on the Website yet but considering that I thought their side was stacked and we lost by 15 points, I would say this is a great effort for a side that under performed.

Mate I don't think anyone from North Footscray thinks the game will be a walk in the park and nobody has said that. Only Heights and West are arrogant

I would hardly think Heights are arrogant.
What Bragging rights do we have?
Our Seniors on the otherhand do have rights to have some arrogant. They have the side which can knock off Wests!

Your welcome to check the website but you will find that there was not 1 senior player out there on Saturday. You played a near full strengh reserves side without a couple of guys that didn't play due to not training.

Id did check your Rd 17 side and your spot on.
Lets hope if we meet again that it poors down with Rain. That will be Wests bick weakness. To many talls and not enough run. You would have to agree that after half time Heights were finishing stronger!

You might find that rain will help West with their running game coming more into the play. Saturday's environment called for long kicking into the forward-line. Also West only played 2 quaters of footy (1st & 3rd). Had they played 4 quaters you would not of got within 6-8 goals. Very clear to me that you went to Faisel too much which is easy to defend. You may need to find a new avenue to goal next week.

There were about 15 guys out there on Saturday that have played senior footy this season. He played well enough to be considered for next week but who are you going to leave out?
