Northern Football League Div 1 - CLOSED

[WiseOne]

Bundoora needs to follow Monts lead on the live feed to the rooms. It would definatley increase numbers on those wet days.

[Jewelsandbullet]

Then you need not worry J&B, cos you didn't! :D

Yes - point taken AD18 :o

My point being - you guys could have had a copy of one of your only two wins against in the last 30 odds years... if it wasn't for small mindedness!

[Dwight]

J & B, bring on tomorrow!!

What is the ground like? Hopefully you blokes didn't chop it last nite.

Massive day, should be a belter.

Will be very close.

[AndyBoy]

Krunch - I have an update.

Any H'Berg or Mont supporters, or neutrals that are worried about coming down because of the cold and rain (weak). Fear not.

We will have a live feed of the game going on the big screen in the club rooms. The live feed will be accompanied by commentary that goes out on Plenty Valley FM.

So come down sit by the fire in the comfort of our extremely outdated clubs rooms - have a can, and watch on the big screen. :thumbsu:



Now that could be a plan J&B......

I'm sitting here on the 27th floor watching the weather come across the bay and it don't look good....:(

Hope the fire will be crankin J&B....

Got some mates from school down at mont.....

Watch what could be a cracker of a game in the warmth havin a few jars...... :thumbsu:

What to do???? :D

[Jewelsandbullet]

J & B, bring on tomorrow!!

Yes mate - looking forward to it.

Monty Beach is looking a treat... does sand turn to mud??

oh and we chopped:p

[Bruce Almighty]

The ump must be a part-time dwarf tosser.

Saturday's forecast of showers and 13 degrees sounds like perfect weather for Bruce Almighty to come off the pine in the twos and get involved. They're your conditions BA. Thick and slow.:D

J&B any word on the live feed into the clubrooms?

I am now to slow or should i say too good to play two,s .My form has gone back to my senior days.I am again the gun in the team because I am the youngest .Superfools what a beautiful thing.........

I will stick to the running.I have beaten mont enough in my career, time for someone else to enjoy sticking it to the black and white.My enjoyment will be sucking down J&B's cans after the game in front of the fire.

[Cole Trickle]

Just got back from the pub and heard a rumour there was a fight between Mithchell and Grossman last saturday night any truth can any bundoora boys elaborate?

[fig9]

North Heidelberg v West Preston - judging West by last week, North by 500 goals!:D[/quote]

You D I C K LICKER!:thumbsd:

[Cole Trickle]

think u heard the wrong thing mate lol
Well Matty the bloke i heard it off was'nt 100% but he had heard mitchell was balling his eyes out after Grossman give him a love tap for being a %ick head can you let us know the real story matty. Things must be on the slide down there when players are punching on with each other i thought that sought of thing only happened at norf.

[TIGER ROCKET]

any thought on today's game?biggest talking points would be monty's loss to heidelberg.didn't see the game,actually listened on radio and hard to judge not being there but seemed heidelberg players were running around at will.did nolan and haydock actually have opponents today.
also how did eltham steal that game against diamond creek?

[fig9]

Any news on the young fella from north that got carried off today?
All the best to him!:thumbsu:

Bruce will know. Premiership ruckman Matty Sieter's first game for the year gets crunched in the opening minutes and taken off to hospital. He didnt look good stumbling off the ground and collapsing at the quarter time break. As for Montmorency, this wont be your year sorry fellas.
Interesting ladder at the halfway mark of the season, I doubt the 4 will change.

I was with goof last night and he was not very well at all, i think that might have been his second game for the year he also played against greensborough.

[Kickass]

Hey T.R,

What do you mean by steal???

It was a well layed game plan. We knew that Diamo could only kick 11-12 goals in any game so all we had to do was kick more.

Granted, things were looking pretty bleak when we were 49 points behind them, but as they say "The game is not over until Kickass is singing", and sing he did.

I can tell you that we were aided by the two 10min showers of rain that feel just before halftime and early in the last quarter, which helped take both the wind factor and the monster factor ( Phelan & Anstey = 2 x 9ft monsters) out of the game.

Must say that I am happy the boys played out the full game yet again, as they have done against Norf (10pts), Mont (3pts), WPL (2pts) and Diamo (1pt).

Steal, hmm, yes we probably did. ha ha ha :D

Looked like Andrew "Flappa" Ellis in his first senior match... Can someone from North elaborate?

[slasher25]

It appears that Heidelberg FC have got that many sponsors they have to wear two jumpers on the day to cover them all, "Absolute disgrace".
See the front cover of the NFL record Round 9. For a club that prides themselves on so much proffesionalism they cant get their jumpers right. This may seem petty to some but imagine if an AFL club did this and featured on the front page of the AFL record what flak they would cop, should be no different with the club that is trying to lead the way in the NFL. Be accountable Trevor Lift your game. By the way I hope the NFL league enforce the $100 fine for being out of uniform can't ask for better evidence than this.

Fair call of the creek/eltham game......

Some weeks you pray for rain but not this week for the creek and that did limit the impact of the twin towers..... Opportunities wasted also....

would of been a handy 4pts for creek....

You are a very sad individual. The photo looked to me as all the Heidelberg players were wearing yellow and black jumpers and white shorts, so who cares what sponsors were on the jumper. Cabbages like you who come on here trying to bag a quality club are the ones who look stupid in the end.

Wouldn't a post saying what a great mark been more appropriate?

Seriously mate, get a life.

No its not Tony Topp. I belong with a second divy club and always take interest in what is happening around divvy one.............
Disappointed if that is the best response you can come back with obviously you are a "Heidelberg Rat". If that was a bundoora or Monty club you guys (including your Supporters) would be pointing the finger and just bagging the Northern League on the standards being set.. Suggest you take this on the chin accept the cristism and pass onto your committee to lift their game.

Mate obviously you are colour blind and a typical one eye supporter who cant see past your FAT nose. Go back and have a look at the photo it is "obviously TWO different jumpers" worn by the Heildelberg FC. Yes it looks like it was a great mark pity it is being spoilt because it looks like players in training jumpers having a kick to kick and not a real game. Accept the fact mate, and if you are a quality club (which I actually do beleive you are) your players should be more respectful of your sponsors and wear the correct logo

nah your right slash, the players had 2 different jumpers on not just sponsors. thats like richmond have one player with this years jumper and another having one from 5 years ago. mind you im pretty sure some bloke from epping wore a carlton jumper yesterday, **** you know they are strugling when a bloke has to go to rebel to buy a jumper that sort looks like his clubs

Ill bring it up at the next committee meeting you tool. One wonders what type of bloke spots a fault on the front of the record then goes on bigfooty to have a cry. Personally if it was another club in question such as Mont or Bundoora I would not give a ****, id be more worried about getting a kick. I suggest you go back to your own thread as this one is clearly labeled Division 1.

[junior29]

Can anybody from heidelberg tell me how chad walker is going? i hear macleod where willing to give him 170 a game and he denied it, i also heard a old macleod junior that plays with the tigers is coming back to macleod next year!! you know anything about that dodgeawrench?? Maybe we could play in a premiership together again......

Funny you should mention Mont, I'm pretty sure I have seen some of their players wearing black jumpers with white stripes whist the others were wearing white jumpers with black stripes. ??????

(Just kidding J&B, How could I tell anyway, i'm bloody colourblind . I do of course know what colour a green can is though/LOL)

As for the pic in the record, Sponsors need not worry because they both have Concord Park on them. Barrot will be happy that some tool has helped plug his business so he can make another million bucks to pump into his money pit at the 'Berg.

I must admit though, It does look ordinary when jumpers clash so much (no stripe on back of 1, different colour numbers), but i'm sure this happens at all clubs, particularly in the magoos when blokes are called up at late notice.

Speaking of which, I remember one day a guy, who shall remain nameless (Paul Smith), was called up to play magoos for Eltham 1 day after having been retired for a few seasons,

He decided to bring a bag full of old club jumpers that he had collected over the years as he wasn't sure which one would still fit.

In his kit he had an old woollen number from U19's, another that was tattered and blood stained from earlier on in his senior career, he another from '89 premiership, another 95 premiership, a Mernda jumper that he had swapped with opposing captains in 97 premiership, a 2000 premiership jumper and a more modern 2002 premiership jumper.

Then he decided to wear his Brothers old jumper because A) it fitted better and B) he didn't want to have to take any of the other jumpers out of their Frames. ha ha ha :p:p:p

[Boof Head]

any truth to the rumour that heidelberg recieved a figure of approx $115,000 for sponsorship from isuzu the truck company. On condition concord transport purchased a number of trucks. which they i am lead to believe they did. this is a lot of coin for local footy boys when will it end.

If this is true which is possible, but unlikely, then good on Heidelberg. If local clubs can attract that kind of corporate dollar then it can only be good for the league.

If you have a look at the Heidelberg web site, then look at their corporate stucture you will see more people at that club on the committe willing to help out than some clubs even have as total members. You can say all you want about money, but it takes the people to administer things correctly and heidleberg do that.

Makes me sick to say it, but well done to Heidelberg, best in comp in more ways than just being undefeated:thumbsu:

yeah we're putting with the 50k that National Bank tribute for every posession of Danny Nolan's for the Monty game and building a roof at Heidelberg Park, Telstra Done style.

[ifyoucandodgeawrench]

Yes it looks like it was a great mark pity it is being spoilt because it looks like players in training jumpers having a kick to kick and not a real game.

Same thing has been said about Saturday's game, although no refering to the strip.

Yes - Bruce was even nice enough to give me one green one out of his winnings. Probably the least he could do given the spanking we'd endured.

They're good.

Thanks for the cans J&B,They didnt last long as Bourkey,Kemp and Mick Sullivan ate them before I left.The Bergers were good but maybe the last couple of weeks took there toll on Mont.See you in the finals.......

As for jumpers and sponsors who gives a F**k.Heidelberg are just having a good period at the momkent as has happened always in the valley.It was Greensborough once then Lalor ,Bundoora,Northcote park.I think other clubs and the talant pool has also dropped off at other clubs making us look better...But we are all millionaires at heidelberg and love spending money......Blow me!!!Help your club to improve so the league improves and stop whineging

I agree. Furthermore, it's about having a 'winning culture mentality' around the club regardless of performance outcomes.

[liquorman]

Hey Boys

Couldn't make it down for the clash at Monty, great result. J&B, can you tell me who the Monty faithfull have turned there sledging attention towards now that the teddy bear isn't there? And was there any chips thrown?

P.S Bruce, what does whineging mean?

He just mouths constantly whereas as the Teddy Bear did it after snagging very important sausages rolls under pressure.

How can it be good for the league if all Heidelberg do is double other clubs offers for players? I know for a fact that this has been done and it gives other clubs no chance to compete. Im sick of Heidelberg not admitting that they have a distinct advantage over other clubs who dont have the money. No one from heidelberg would ever actually come out and admit what they spend but i am aware of what several players are on and i know most clubs could barely afford to pay a quarter of what they spend. Money is ruining the league and local footy in general. You can deny it all heidelberg people and make jokes about it but everyone knows the truth.

Interesting comments bobcobb....

I'm sure if other clubs had the money they would spend it also.... Unfortunately they don't..... Imagine if other clubs could match the alledged money of heidelberg.... Players would leave the afl to play in the nfl due to money they could make....lol.....

I would luv to see diamo with the same coin but won't hate heidelberg because they have it and not us......

There is a lot of good home grown talent around the league that are stickin with their junior clubs no matter wat offers come in....... Including at heidelberg.....

p.s. rather see the tiges up there then back in the northcote park era.... least there is a crowd.... :D

Lets get on with round 10....

[BERGER KING]

Would Haydn Young be in line for a senior call up this week to play on Howse :confused:

[Pheonix20]

Would Haydn Young be in line for a senior call up this week to play on Howse :confused:

After having watched Bundoora last week you could play pretty much anyone and it won't matter. It will be a good contest for the first 20 minutes then the bergs will run over them. Bundoora if it were raining virgins at the moment they would get ZACK from Big Brother, They have twelve first grade players injured, and the players that they have got are spent with little talent in the two's capable of making a difference to the senior team then the clubrooms got broken into on Sunday Night causing about $3.000 damage and about 12 G from the safe . At least the ridiculous rotations of last year have stopped as there is no-one to rotate with!
I'll still be there though because if your not at the ground you will have no idea what Mark donnelly and the other bloke are talking about. How about some idea of which team has the ball and some score updates Mark or you may end up like Hutchy on 3AW.;) But then they will most likely be doing some crap second division game anyway.

Money will not ruin the league and local football. Players and support staff HAVE to and SHOULD be paid according to perceievd worth. While it's a held belief that, "Them that have no past have no future." It's also believed that, "Those that LIVE in the past have no future."

Perhaps "other clubs" or more to the point their supporters can start to think outside the box and generate more "cash flow". At worst, those who do not will crash and burn or at best get relegated accordingly. It's that simple. And, it's not going to change short of a communist state.

Put simply, at the very least a football club has to be administered by PROVEN business people who have a passion for the game. Fail to do this and suffer the consequences. Namely, loose good players and support staff which contributes to losing games. Then develop a "loosing mentality culture" at the club which ultimately dissatisfies supporters and they slowly dwindle away. Then the final blow which is the issue at hand. No substantial sponsors! No substantial CASH FLOW!

While Heidelberg continues to grow, a move to a more competitive competition is inevitable. All it takes is "cash flow" to raise a challenge in the the Supreme Court should the need arise. And based on the competition so far. It may very well be sooner than later. The poor deluded souls who believe they have had a crack at Heidelberg are simply that. Deluded. It is a wide spread view that this 2007 Heidelberg team, which includes the reserves side, have not yet played to their full potential.

Therefore, it could be argued that it's not so much that Heidelberg have a "distinct advantage". It's simply the "loosing mentality culture" of the disadvantaged who generally like to blame others to justify not having to take responsibility for their mediocre lot in life.

Finally, may ALL the sponsors (and potential sponsors) for ALL the clubs in the valley continue to thrive, flourish, grow and succeed in business and support ALL the men and women at their local football clubs.

While Heidelberg continues to grow, a move to a more competitive competition is inevitable. All it takes is "cash flow" to raise a challenge in the the Supreme Court should the need arise. And based on the competition so far. It may very well be sooner than later. The poor deluded souls who believe they have had a crack at Heidelberg are simply that. Deluded. It is a wide spread view that this 2007 Heidelberg team, which includes the reserves side, have not yet played to their full potential.

Therefore, it could be argued that it's not so much that Heidelberg have a "distinct advantage". It's simply the "loosing mentality culture" of the disadvantaged who generally like to blame others to justify not having to take responsibility for their mediocre lot in life.

Finally, may ALL the sponsors (and potential sponsors) for ALL the clubs in the valley continue to thrive, flourish, grow and succeed in business and support ALL the men and women at their local football clubs.
I guess then heidelberg's first mission will be to win the grand final by a long way. then if they can also remain undefeated along the way, then there is the possiblity of a challenge to the league's decision not to let you leave, and the success of balwyn would have to be used as case in point for Heidelberg.

However if they do a bundoora and choke in the GF or if they do fall in a slump and lose a few games, then by what i read from you Boof, it will mean another season of complete dominance to get the desired result of challenging the league with the possiblity of a fight in the courts, as you know the league will knock back any attempts to leave the comp.

either way, it looks like Heidelberg is setting up for a fight. Not sure if they are fighting in their weight division, by no matter what, the club will fight?

or am I just full it sh*t and have no idea what I am talking about?

[thirstyforwater]

Can someone please tell me didn't the Eastern league vote against admitting Heidelberg into the EFL in 2008 or has there been some change to the vote that was taken by the EFL.

Even so if there is a court challenge shouldn't we just rate heidelberg on what they are doing on and off the ground in regards to their current position in the NFL and how they are the current bench mark of the NFL and the rest of the sides need to pick up there performance to match it with Heidelberg. If in September Heidelberg is the best team on the last day of the year good luck to them and let them enjoy the spoils of another successful year by the club. Nothing else really matters as long as the players are just concentrating on their goal.

Yeah the last I heard of it was that the Eastern League clubs voted against Heidelberg applying for the 2008 season.

:thumbsu:Krunch - I have an update.

Any H'Berg or Mont supporters, or neutrals that are worried about coming down because of the cold and rain (weak). Fear not.

We will have a live feed of the game going on the big screen in the club rooms. The live feed will be accompanied by commentary that goes out on Plenty Valley FM.

So come down sit by the fire in the comfort of our extremely outdated clubs rooms - have a can, and watch on the big screen. :thumbsu:

Was a great idea by the mont committee to play the game on the big screen inside. Although it didn't rain for too long, was particularly valuable for the supporters during the second quarter.

Hopefully more clubs can follow this lead. Well done Mont :thumbsu:

It is my view the Supreme Court would not entertain the issue(s) of winning or losing football games or domination. Put simply your honour, irrelevant. If Heidelberg want and choose to move it's just matter of timing and "cash flow".

With this in mind, if and when Heidelberg do pursue that course of action I do not believe the NFL would and/or could justify the expense of a challenge in the said jurisdiction. Clearly the advice to the NFL would be:

At the end of the day is it REALLY really worth the cost?

Very interesting Boof but i do know a fair bit of the goings on at heidelberg and your theory is way of.Eastern has been shelved .This is local footy do not loose perspective here.Again it is just a well run club trying to be the best they can.Half way through the year and everyone thinks its in the bag except everyone at Heidelberg.Heidelberg people want clubs to up the ante with them to bring this leauge back to the top.Simple...........

And yes the boys have not played to there full potential yet ....

Regarding your other points. I agree 100 percent.

Money will not ruin the league and local football. Players and support staff HAVE to and SHOULD be paid according to perceievd worth. While it's a held belief that, "Them that have no past have no future." It's also believed that, "Those that LIVE in the past have no future."

Perhaps "other clubs" or more to the point their supporters can start to think outside the box and generate more "cash flow". At worst, those who do not will crash and burn or at best get relegated accordingly. It's that simple. And, it's not going to change short of a communist state.

Put simply, at the very least a football club has to be administered by PROVEN business people who have a passion for the game. Fail to do this and suffer the consequences. Namely, loose good players and support staff which contributes to losing games. Then develop a "loosing mentality culture" at the club which ultimately dissatisfies supporters and they slowly dwindle away. Then the final blow which is the issue at hand. No substantial sponsors! No substantial CASH FLOW!

Hey Boof!!!! Most of the stuff you say is correct about running a footy club and raising money I myself have been directly involved in bringing a club from despair to a very healthy position at the minute BUT!! it hasn't stopped there because we have been working harder to expand on those funds for our next big move and as you sound like you would appreciate it is bloody hard work. However from another perspective some clubs are VERY FORTUNATE were they have a major sponsor who pours money or has his contacts through business pour money into the club giving them a flying start each season. Some clubs would kill for this. So do understand that MOST clubs out there that are working there bums off to stay afloat and you can see this by the number of sponsors advertised on each clubs page of the footy record however they are not lucky enough for any of their sponsors to hand them a open cheque book. Nothing against your club goodluck to you and enjoy while you can because as in all circles the tide will change and it will be sombodys elses turn down the track as it was Nothcote Parks some years back.:thumbsu:

Well it's half way through the year so time to hear everyone's predictions, particularly on the goal kicking which is wide open and also comp medal.

Premiers : Heidelberg

Runners Up : North Heidelberg

Relegated : Epping

Goal Kicking : Craig Whelan

Comp Medal : Danny Nolan

rumour has it that no relegation will take place for next season.
Looking at 12 teams season 2008.
divvy 2 teams playing off in the granny will go up.

Good on ya Slash. Remain positive it really is infectious and focus on a big sponsor in your region. Assuming you're looking for one. Think outside the box as to how you can motivate him/her to get involved. Do not take no for an answer. Keep in mind benefits and advantages and REMEMBER old man perserverence wins every time.

As for the tide change. Lets cross that bridge if and when we get to that point in time. Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery. But today right here right now that I believe is a gift. Go for it!

It's easy to be condescendng from up high but when I buy a raffle ticket or a pie or beer from a local footy club I know that they need that money to survive not just buy a premiership using mercenaries. As if MURPHY, Franchina or McKernan have strong links to local footy in heidelberg. The sad thing is Heidelberg would be as strong without these blokes and probably be more respected.
I'll keep buying a raffle ticket and I will keep going along to watch good footy and watch out when I win lotto and I can afford to give $100 thousand dollars to a local club. There is no need to skite about how succesful your club is when it is all based around outside influences such as a succesful wealthy mans hobby, not the love of local footy.
Just remember when you are removing your head from your arse that the recent $100 Thousand dollar sponsorship from Isuzu is more than most clubs operating budget for the season so don't give us that crap about preperation meets opportunity.

Perhaps you could invest the money you spend on lotto and return the interest to your club. Somewhat more tangible and likely outcomes for your club rather than the delusion "someones got to win it."

Been there done that. Not enough money in it. Far better lifestyle and enjoyment while, along with many others, contributing significant time and resources into a club. Particularly where it's appreciated. Win, lose or draw. Positive people in general. A positive atmoshere. Which I believe directly equates to a winning culture mentality.

A club that I consider the people in general are successful in their personal and professional lives both on and off the field. Why? Because they did not and do not succumb to the "Poor me. We're disadvantaged" mentality regardless of performance outcomes.

They realise failure is nothing more than an opportunity to approach whatever the failure was more inteligently next time.

If generally everyone at your club is happy, positive and content nothing more can be said.

If they are not then their needs and desires are not being met. If this is the case perhaps you could add hot dogs to the menu. Charge extra for mustard and sauce. You might consider multi-grain rolls.

At the very least your club would be in a better position to GIVE more rather than having to take more when the need arises.

Hows this for a rumour (and this is not heidelberg bashing I heard it overnight) Heidelberg are negotiating with the Heidelberg RSL to re-locate to Warringal Park where they would construct a new club house including a new gaming facility in which the football club and the RSL would share the resultant profits.
Now thats impressive!:(

I believe this is also inevitable. Some legalities and bureaucratic bumbling to flesh out. However, the issue at hand is, which body does Heidelberg really want to jump into bed with. Meaning, which one would be the most beneficial to the club.

What do you think? In relation to the RSL what would be the advantages and what would be the disadvantages of such a relationship.

Bergers to smash Bundoora after quarter time by 9 goals.
Mont to get back on the list against West
Greensy to smash creek.
Eltham at home at epping against.. Epping.. Ahhh Eppin

I missed that one, but then how good would that be for traditional "Valley" football, with clubs from Northcote all the way to Epping, across to Diamond Creek and back down to Heidelberg all being represented in Div 1. That would make for some fantastic local footy week in week out and can only build on some of the fantastic crowds such as we have had lately at the bigger Mont, Heidelberg, Bundoora, Greensborough matches.
Great idea.

Good on ya River. It would appear you are demonstrating one of the many attributes of your family blood-line. Namely, stand-up for what you believe in regardless of the consequences.

Yes I agree. I believe there are people across the board who would like to use this forum to open up CONSTRUCTIVE POSITIVE dialogue amongst the club(s) for the betterment of ALL in the NFL.

However, I respect Bruce as a person. I respect the contribution he has made and is making not only to his club but to the NFL. Therefore, I respect his wishes and will ATTEMPT to be more diplomatic with my rhetoric when discussing particular issues.

Yes and no to varying degrees. Perhaps the management of the NFL could discuss the viability of contributing the necessary funds, for educational purposes, to the administrators of the clubs that would assist them to become better at what they do. Namely, business and communication skills, cultural diversity, corruption prevention etc.

I work also. Most occasions don't need much sleep. Don't watch much television. Prefer to read. Can't remember ever drinking bonox. Get back to you on that one.

Am confident that it goes without saying that ALL the supporters will be there contributing to BFC. Furthermore, I believe that in the event BFC, and/or any other club for that matter, were to afford the use of credit cards or corporate acounts their turn-over for the day would increase.

There wont be a done deal for a few weeks. Clubs like Nothcote park will be lobbying hard for a finals game now that the epping loving administration is gone.
Papal has jumped in at the prime time with the upheaval in the league, but he has to compete against a club i"n" the competition that the league will have more of a say over when it comes to the venue and the operating maters as opposed to Papal's neutral venue where the league will lose most of the control.
The loss of control of its own final series will have to weigh heavily on the new league administration, also I'm sure the new administration will not forget the lessons of the 80's when the old dvfl was booted out of Vic Park.

Bit harsh Bruce, personally I think the Boof has been a breath of fresh air around here. Comments like yours are only going to discourage other Heidelberg faithful from voicing their opinions. As for the game I think & hope the bergers will shit on Bundoora. That is all.

Very harsh JT.Boof does bring some interesting things here and he definately knows what is going on but I beleive some things must remain in house that effect the club directly.We do not need any more attention ....

Let people guess or assume what is going on

ah...good point!
then maybe the cramer st option will be signed sealed and delivered. Though surely Heidelberg want a finals game??? has been used for grand finals in the past, and with all the effort put in by your club to maintain it, you must want finals?? or am i just muck raking?:thumbsu:

just wondering what is going on at Mont. Looks like nothing has been learned from last years preliminary final. Scores from last week and the PF are alomst identical. 2006 PF H 22.19.151 M 12.12.84----last week H 21.22. 148 M 11.5.71. If anything Mont has gone backwards?:(
