LOOK AT THE DUKES

11 Sep 2007, 09:35

As a nuetral observer, he played like a gun, sold candy, racked up possessions, knocked players over (presence), gave options forward and didn't spend much time of the ball. BOG by a mile, but Favrin kicking 6 as a small forward was pretty good as well. Very surprised after seeing how much of the ball GAY had in the 1st quarter he was permitted to just run free all day. He should have been made at least to earn contested possession around the ground.

I am also a nuetral observer and Gay played extremely well all day. He sold candy took marks gave plenty of dont argues and feed his onballers. Only problem was should he have even played heard he gave a bloke from Mont a good whack behind play last week? Bundoora were solid all day but with Heidleberg staying even in the first quarter they never really looked liked losing. I liked Murphys game he copped everythig from bundoora but just kept going about his business. Harrison needs to focus more on kicking goals and taking marks than trying to throw his weight around. It was good watching Nolan and Saddington go at it for a while Nolan just niggled the sh!t out of him. All round not a bad game except for the breaze, Preston almost a bigger wind tunnel than Epping.

Just had word from the Secretary, Mont have signed former pie and saint Mark McGough for season 2008- younger brother Jarrod had a great year this year, 19 years old and came 4th in the best & fairest.

dont forget the signing of the coach for another 2 years.

IMHO monty made a massive mistake reappoionting that bloke.

Mont always have kids coming through and with a few moving on the time was right to appoint a new and younger coach.

McGough is a great get and his style will suit the NFL.

How do you come to that conclusion buddy Harro was a constant forward all day, he kicked 3 took about 6 marks inside 50 and looked like the only option up forward (besides rodgers in the 2nd half). When was he trying to throw his weight around. What game were you watching?????????

and it was quite clear saddo was the one trying to niggle nolan not the other way round. not that it really worked.

As nice a bloke as 'Old King Cole" is I agree its time to seek new coaching blood particularly if ex elite players such as McGough are coming to Para Rd. Might be worthwhile sounding out "Skunk" Watson.I think the skunk would be a side wards step. I think mont need a non mont playing coach to bring some new cattle to the club. They tried it a few years ago and it was working queit well untill he had his jaw broken. Mont have some great kids but by the sounds of things they are starting to spread due to OLD KING COLE.

Jewelsandbullet

11 Sep 2007, 16:07

interesting debate..

But I don't think we are starting to spread ... I mean we have already signed 16 of our best 18 including Gutto, Finno, Sage & Owen.

Mont have a history of getting rid of coaches when things are not going our way - I can't remember the last time a coach stayed for longer than three seasons.

With some new blood around the place - he will turn it around.

At the very least (from a mont perspective) there is no point bagging - as the decision has been made - time to stick together and turn it around in 08.

Sounds like a great idea! He did amazing things at Lower, like didn't win a game, they became a joke in 1st division, and got them relegated to Div 2. Then he scores a gun job in the TAC Cup.

Yeh sounds brilliant. Get him on board.

Was at the game sunday and it was an absolute disgrace that Mick Gay got best on. All he does is stand in the middle of the ground. I dont think he got out of a slow walk all day. also watched his opponents who worked really hard all day taking numerous marks and battled well all over the groung in attack and defence!!

You must have been at a different game party boy.

I have seen every Heidelberg game this year and in my opinion it was Mick Gay's best game for the season. Absolutely OUTSTANDING.

fattyslim09

13 Sep 2007, 17:04

one would think that the people doing the bests at the end of the game look for different things.

Personally I think M. Gay played far better games this year, you say that he sold candy, well not nearly as much as he has done in earlier games, he was about 50/50 in hit outs, that big fist of his I think is overestimated at times yes it looks great when there is a big hit out but the reality is his on ballers are waiting for it nice and close, It could and will be argued that it just as hard to get it in close but at least the onballers know what is coming...just a thought.

ANyway back to my original arguement, the Bundoora ruckman in my eyes actually played better than Mick, which must be said will not and does not happen too often, faired well enough in hit outs and got back to fill the hole in front of Hally numerous times, taking a good 5 or 6 marks back in the hot spot in front of goals. A good battle all round, wouldn't have minded seeing a bit more of Whitey in the ruck, good tap ruckman, but seems to be lacking something, maybe a bit of c*nt possibly.

So on those grounds it is easy to see why 2 different people could give BOG for their respective teams to their respective ruckmen.:confused::confused::confused:

party boy

13 Sep 2007, 20:57

yes aggree. anyone with a bit of height can play ruck and just punch the ball to no one in the ruck contests. what makes a good ruckman is if the can contest the ball direct it to someone on their team which leads to a clearance to their teams advantage. which inevitably gives their team a massive advantage!!

maybe

14 Sep 2007, 16:37

Who is everyone's tip for Sunday's game?

Howse back is a big inclusion for Bundoora, but i reckon Dean in the ruck for North will be the difference and it will be a Heidelberg v North Heidelberg grand final.

Sorry Mate,

I never saw the actual docs detailing the laid charges however they may be freely available from Channel 7 sport!

I did hear (hear say only) that the tribunal considered it a highly recklass action and took into consideration that the victim was able to be available for this weeks game, and thus they decided to place a 4 week rather than a 6 week suspension on the perpertrator.

went to cramer st today and once again it was hurricane weather.
the second quarter was the difference.nth giving away needless free kicks and gifting goals to bundoora.
made a bit of a fight back in third but bundoora's midfield too good.
doubt they will beat heidelberg but you never know on grand final day.
believe there may be a few leaving north so a major rebuild looks to be on the cards.
now i don't condone what dave taylor did but the bundoora supporters have short memories after shane whitnall's act against heidelberg last year.
that was totally differernt today was a clear punch and whitnell last year was a big hit and shoulder that was late.

anyway i dont think the bundoorians will be caring to much about that when they have a granny to play in this week!

Fact 1 - Player S told VD that he could not make training when it was changed from afternoon to morning due to a family commitment, Coach agreed. Saturday afternoon he was told be team mate he was not playing so he rang captain and got a feeble excuse about team balance. Nothing from the Coach of the year 05 - 06.
Fact 2 - Player K recieved phone call from coach on Sunday morning and was asked his movements on the previous evening. He stated he had watched the footy at a mates. When asked if he had been drinking he replied that he had consumed two cans. Quote " Well you won't be playing then" followed by the hanging up of the phone.
Why does this guy who seems to be able to get this team up every year turn into a psycho at this time of year.

im afraid u have got urself mixed up again... Yes player S did have a family commitment but no that didnt have ANYTHING to do with him being dropped it was a matter of team balance and im sure he's in the mix again this week... and as far as player K goes he was called that morning to see if he was able to REPLACE the player that had withdrawn due to illness, and yes he did say he had had a couple of beers therfore VD decided to replace the withrawel with player L. i dont see anythin "psycho" about that. just statin the facts :thumbsu:

Kamolins Matt, Greensborough French Luke, Montmorency 08/09/07 Striking 25/09/07 7:45 PM Tribunal 1 Case Postponed 0 match T. Holland

Does anybody know whats going on with the tribunal?

Investigation initiated by the league, it will occur when the finals are over.

In my view (from seeing the incident at the time) it probably deserved a few more than the mandatory two, was a pretty average effort.

Living God - you're a Mont person right? Hope you are there on Sunday - and back to the rooms after the game. Win, lose or draw.

Played in 84.
More of a footy cameo than real involvement but certainly a man who in boxing parlance could hold his hands up. Subsequently incurred the displeasure of the constabulary/judiciary re one of his alternative nightclub businesses and more recently has surfaced as a boxing trainer.

Hey Boys

The teddy bear is making the trek down the hwy to watch a Bergers double on Sunday. Going to be a bit strange going to a GF against Bundoora and not having to kick five, will have to make it five cans and five buckets of chips instead.

Hope to see all you big footy dudes there, good luck to all the boys playing. Early tip is for Hally to kick ten and stinger to have 40 touches with a first ever joint best on ground given. Vinnie to be finally sacked at the end of the game.

GO BERGERS :thumbsu:
I believe "Luckie" is preparing a special Liquorman sized parmie and chips for you on GF night. Apparently it comes with its own chainsaw for cutting.

Wonder if the supercoach Vinnie has written up notes on each of the Heidelberg players this year after it was so successful last year for him.

Big tip.... hall would b lucky to see the ball ten times let alone kick it after the bath he got from grossman in the first final... didnt look comfortable at all goin for the ball with such an imposing figure breathing down his neck! ur tip for stinger on the other hand is more plausible!

Just a question from a young and upcoming player of Bundoora 19's to all you older blokes,

howcome everyone is so against Vinnie?

i think he is a fantastic coach, and the way he goes about is great, mabye he could show some emotion, however some of the decsions he makes would be so bloody tough.

at the end of the day someone has to get dropped and the coach has to do it, no matter who is coach i think there is always going to be someone bitching about him.

i consider myself to have a fairly smart football brain for my age, and there would be noone i would rather play my senior footy under than Vinnie, he doesnt piss in your pocket, and just gives you the home truths, and any player who wants to improve as a footballer, i think vinnie is the best coach for it.

as an u'19 this year who desperately wanted to play senior football, i got vinnie aside and i asked him what i had to do! knowing that i didnt have the towering height he admires and the speed he loves i was prepared for the worst, however if what he was about to tell me would help me play senior football i was ready for it!

i spent the next 30 minutes with vinnie, listening to what i had to do to play seniors, to cut it short he said i was 1 year away and let me no what i had to do.............

and **** it hurt to hear that, seeing one of my good mates get a go and some of my team mates up there, knowing that i have the smarts to be up there with them, but then to be told im a year away, but i got over it and now no what has to be done, and when im playing senior football next year ill know who to thank, the coach every1 loves to hate 'Vinnie'

if bundoora have any brains vinnie will be coaching again next year, win lose on sunday.

hahaha thanks for listening to my life story, and would appreciate a answer to my question....thanks veterans of the NFL

We will wait and see mate, Hally will want to go out in style. Mind you the conditions two weeks ago weren't much assistance. Hope it's a cracker, Go Bergers.You never know Hally could get a kick but i highly doubt it when was the last time he kicked more than A goal in a final ? I think Grosman is the new Gadget for Hally he will be having nightmares over the next 3 nights. As for the bad conditions did'nt worry anyone else especially Favy. River rat give up on Hally Support mate he has let you down to many times.

I have a fairly easy day today, so i am looking at logging on at various times today and tomorrow and reading some goss on the sides selected, and omissions from the Bundoora and Heidelberg teams. No doubt there is someone who will be spitting chips over a decison made, or not made. Feel free to vent your anger here!

Grossy chokes on the big day, I've kicked five on him twice in the last two grannies we played, whereas hally already has one BOG medal from the 2004 premiership. I reckon you need to get off his back chops. He was playing about 20% fit in the 2005 finals series and gadget was a bit lucky. You guys just wait and see the cream rise to the top on Sunday as the freak unleashes.

When Howsy has eyes for the ball he is one of the best and hardest going around. he has the ability to take this game by the scruff and give it a good shake. If theres no wind and Bundoora can get up and running they will win by 13 points. Whits to kick five. Ayresy to come back to some of the form we all know he has and Obrien to continue to prove he is the best big man in the comp.
Go Bulls.

As a NFL follower watching alot of games this year, including both times Bundoora vs Heidelberg, i cant see the bulls overcoming the tigers. This statement is a bit optimistic mate, yes Ayres is a good player, but to say O'Brien is the best big man in the comp is a pretty big statement. i reckon a few blokes like King from Epping, Gay from Heidelberg and Dean from North Heidelberg would have a bit to say about that and would all be ahead of him. Have seen him play a few times this year and has impressed me, great leap and can take a grab no doubt about it, but if Bundoora had a genuine big man in there team he would not be playing the ruckman role.

For me, and it's only my opinion, Heidelberg to take it out by 5 goals with Jake Williams putting on a show on the wing and getting the BOG medal.

As Lalor will now be in div 1 i suppose this belongs on this thread.Heard genuinely today from a reliable source associated with Lalor that Anthony Koutifides has signed and will be pulling on a guernsey next year for the Bloods. Anyone confirm?
too late bloods sorry kouta has already signed at heidelberg along with archer, hird, ben dixon, vandenberg, possibly voss and a slim chance of buckley, barrot seems confident that harvey will go down to the tigers when he is ready.
