Epping looked very good in the last 15 minutes against Mont, I was thinking if they carried that form into the following week they might only get beaten by 8 goals... but they did even better!
Would have been great for the comp had they knocked them over.
Boro must be the headcases of DIV one - how can you beat Eltham then lose by 20 + goals to North H?

From what I could see, there was some poor decision making throughout the game. Epping where very good at stoppages and we struggled getting past half way going forward.

eppings king dominated the centre and fed the ball to his young group of rovers who then moved the ball quickly to their forwards. a very small side but ran and harassed. i hate saying it that but as we all know you take dale nolan out of the backline it gives the opposition an even chance .eppings young blokes just outran us and it took a super human effort by danny nolan , stinger and russ lee keep the team in the game and then overrun them.why king went of the ground we will never know but it changed the game .good to see the opportunist fav get 5 .

This week is shaping up to be the best round of the season with all teams that are close to each other on the ladder playing against each other. Creek V Park 9 v 10 (Creek)
Norf v Bundy 2 v 3 (Bund)
Eppin v West 6 v 8 (Eppin)
Grensy v Mont 7 v 4 Traditional rivals (Mont last chance Mont)
Heid v Eltham 1 v 5 (Tigers) but the panthers starting to click, should be a good one after tigers poor performance last week.
This will be the best indicator yet as to where the season should unfold unless the competition really is starting to even out then 'll be buggered if I know who's going to win.
:rolleyes:
Phoenix have a little faith mate.. Mark my words we will not lose to Epping this week..:thumbsu:
As for the interleague side, if your going on form, where is Andy Gill (west) and Damien Smith (west)??????? Come On!;)
Should be a fantastic match up this week, with big Damien 'Subway' Smith against big Daniel King..... ............ f#*k i love saturdays, bring it on:D

WOW:eek: What's going on at Heidelberg??? Heard a rumour tonight that the great Brendan Billy McCormak, former Fitzroy player and Donvale coach has been approached to coach the tigers next year?? Is this another move to help them move east? Or has Plunkett not lived up to expectation? Brucey Boy what's going on???:confused:

It definately is a mind game! Want more evidence- we were 7 goals up on Epping and lost by 3. You switch off in Div 1 and that's what happens!
With all due respect to Eltham, from what i've seen North must have been well off their game against them- they certainly were back on it against greensy.
Eltham did it to us again though and pipped Monty- should be intersting to see if we can give a more competitive showing and how mont will respond?

Everyone is pumped about this week... it's a must win game for all three teams.
And we sure do hate the slime ;)
However, - the 1s have quite a few injuries.. but no excuses on the day ... I'm just not predicting a huge margin mate.

Yeah - I'm starting to think it is maybe the Panthers that can be a bit jekyll and hyde
They seem to get themselves up, and play better against the better sides.. but then can drop the odd game against teams they really should beat.

When you lack key position talls its hard to put any team away, every game is a tight tussle & the opposition often stays in it right to the end.
Is a very even comp this year too, no easy games!
Conditions & where game is played will decide a lot of games this season...

Good point....
I'm not sure how much involvement they have had in it - but the scheduling of games has fallen to the advantage of the Panthers so far.
North H at the smaller Hurstbridge ground... perfect... then if you could choose any ground to have Mont at, I'd say you'd want them at the wide open spaces at Creek...
Might be just luck- but if the club has had any say in it - then it's smart work.

Has worked out well but only because we've won.
We are playing 2-3 sides twice at their home grounds which isnt good,
e.g our game against Heid this week is a home game @ Heid..
Im pretty sure we're just getting put wherever they can fit us that won't affect that grounds condition too much, hence not being allowed to play at Watsonia last week!
Much rather have our home ground but we'll be right J&B! :thumbsu:

Not going anywhere,Plunks is doing a good job and everyone is just focusing on the games at hand.With the results coming through at the moment and Epping just about beating us I think everyone could be in for some quality games.Eltham this week should be a beauty i said the bergers by 38 points but i think it will be very close.What about WP when are they going to get in the 4....:D

Shows North are a pretty good team when up and running (as they clearly were against us!).
Northcote Park beating Diamo is also a big result for the relegation battle (would have though Diamo would have set themselves for a win especially at home!).:thumbsu:

Hope for the clubs sake they don't go back.....
The one's are just not clicking.... No game plan..... No forward setup.... No defensive zone.....
Seems to be some problems at the top.... The committee don't seem to be around helping and just want to 'bag' people....
A bit white anting by the 19's coach is a strong rumour round the place....
Are cowboy's (great bloke so i hope not) days numbered??? Who could step in and improve the sides performance??? It's not the coaches out there kicking the sherrin around!!!!!

6 games 3 and 3 with the top 3 still to play. Your guys could make the turn potentially at 3 and 6. What has happened? All the hype was north being the team to fall away, now by the look of it Monty has fallen big time.
How do the players lift from here? Hows the mood down there at magpie land?

Don't believe the hype! I guess that is the lesson...
The disappointing thing is that in each of the three loses Mont have been in a position of control at some stage.
Gutterson's 4th quater goal put us ahead by 21 points I think.
Not sure if it's switching off, or what it is.....
Anyway, can still put what is going to be an evenly contested season back on track with a win this week, have a fantastic record against North H at home.
Having said that - we really are not the same side at the moment - lots of personal changes.. although we do get a few back this week... & we need them!
Still getting good performances from our better players: Bomber, Gutterson etc were all good on Sunday ... depth is where we are a little bit worse off this year.
Can't give up Devil .. i think we are still in the four!
ps. What a fantastic crowd on Sunday - the roar when Boro hit the front must have given the slime players a great lift - I hope we get the benefits of the large bar/canteen takings on the return leg
whats wrong with monty is the coach . thats all that needs to be siad

What are you talking about ??? The results are more even than they have been in years. Bundoora got beaten on the weekend and sit below North H on the ladder.
Eltham have beaten North H.
I wouldn't say that means Bundoora have a grand final spot just yet. :confused:

Heidelberg are clearly the best
Diamo are cleary the worst
North Heid beat Bundy
Eltham beat North
Greensy beat Eltham
Epping beat Greensy
Mont beat Epping
West beat Mont
Northcote beat West.
The other 8 team are fairly even and Heidelberg arn't invincible, top 4 and the grandfinalist are wide open.
Compared to Division 2 , division 1 is miles ahead in terms of enternaiment and closeness of the competion

At least there is a competition going on for the Grand Finalists, what has D1 got? the same (yawn) two sides--Bundoora and Heidelberg, with the relegation already decided, and this is entertaining!

As for the tosser from Divvy 2 trying to justify their existence. Don't disgrace our forum with your presence. There hasn't been an interesting Divvy 2 game yet. The only one will be Lalor v Macleod (and let's hope Lalor smash em so a few of those chokers from Macleod go hiding back in their holes).
One game separates 2nd - 7th and Heidelberg only just got over Epping- it is a hell of a lot closer than you think.
Try watching a Divvy 1 game before embarrassing yourself with stupid comments- it is faster, has more skill, is harder, is far more competitive and interesting, and the crowds sh1t on Divvy 2.
If you step out of your little Divvy 2 world you would realise just how insignificant it really is and no-one really cares.:thumbsd:
Probably the most significant stat is that in Divvy 1 there has been almost twice as many results decided by 25 points or less then there has been in Divvy 2- which by my reckoning makes Divvy 1 twice as interesting or Divvy 2 two times more boring!

3 more very interesting games this week
Mont v North- Look for a much closer result than people expect
Northcote v Epping- An important game for both teams in terms of getting clear of the relegation battle

Obviously it will be a battle this week, don't think anyone is kidding themselves there but in the years before Div 2 we were always pretty competitive with them so i think if we can be competitive (obviously like epping were) then that is a good start.
Go the Slime:D

If other games go to plan Tigers vs Slime and Monty vs Norf;) these two teams are playing for fourth spot.. Bring it on! Go Roosters!:D

Had the pleasure of wandering down and watching the Bourgh v Mont game and while entertaining I was actually disappointed with the standard. Bourgh have gone up a notch from last year but that was definately not the Mont of years gone by. Seen my share of Div 1 games in the last 10-15 years (mainly finals) it it looks like the sides may not be as good as in the past. Has the standard dropped or is the comp just evening up? Or both maybe?

There is only one game in Divvy 2 that matters- the rest is just a ridiculous procession (a la all the lopsided results) and i think you will find that is the only game anyone really cares about because that is the only game that gets them out of that crappy division!
As for your comment about the overall standard of the competition- i think that your perception stems from the closeness of the competition this year. There are more teams who are evenly matched and this therefore can create some very high pressure games in which more mistakes are bound to be made (if this is what you are intimating) but the overall matches are still at a much higher standard, they are quicker and therefore in the end they are more entertaining.
Plus remember that the smaller grounds like Monty and Boro mean that a free running game is nearly never possible because of the lack of space and therefore the game is played in tight and close. Whereas the bigger grounds (like the finals venue of Epping) allow for a higher skilled, less physical free running game.

Hey ev1 i'm new to the site but been in and around DVFL for 35 odd years. I was at the Boro V Mont game on sunday and it was one of the biggest and loudest i had seen in years. Boro's side is very very young so if they can keep the kids and build a bit they will be back up where they belong, it also explains the up and down form (normaly happens with very young sides).
Cant wait to see how they match up against the tigers this week. cheers.

Promises to be a close encounter...
If North knock off Mont then the winner will move to fourth, so plenty to play for. Especially when Mont have a tough 2 following weeks against Heidelberg and Bundy.
Notice Chris Varsamakis has played the last 2 games for the panthers and was in their best.. Has he been playin in the guts or up forward? And is he in this week?

Three Divisions have been talked about for at least ten years good in principle but the league is shrinking and not growing, would be good if some Juniour clubs thought about fielding a couple of senior sides or an amateur side or two joined plus the two who dropped out came back !!!3 teams of 10 would be ideal.Lets remember a super metro league is still very much on the cards especially if the Afl have Reserves again.

Surely a good idea.
Clubs would be playing in more competitive games each week with a realistic chance of finals footy, which must be better for the clubs to be able to attract new sponsors & players to ensure their futures.
Also, more enjoyable for their current players!

Went along to a pleasant sunday match at the burra on Sunday and saw what appeared to be the Northern League version of the Sydney Swans. Burra shut the game down and slowed it to their level not allowing Mont to kick away then ran over them in the last quarter. It's an interesting style of play but will take a power of discipline to maintain it. And it is good to have the slime back in the one's and build on those traditional rivalries that only come from local footy.
Also spoke to the bundy boys and they tell me that Saddington is back, Harrison and Hunt which almost brings them back to last years playing list.
Mont are in big trouble three big games which I can't see them winning one.
North are obviously the real deal, so much for the off season bagging they copped but if they keep getting locked up they won't have a team to present, besides, at some stage they will eat their own.
West and Eltham ....Hmmmmm
Let's see what happens this week. Still to be convinced about west.

If the AFL decide to go with reserves then the VFL are going to need another ten to fifteen players each to top up, that can only be a drain on local footy not a bonus.

Agree that it is a much higher standard but not as good as I have seen it. There have been close seasons in the past and hopefully this year is no different with up to 6-7 teams a chance to play finals.
Can only be good for the new NFL!

Nth should of won by six to eight goals Bundoora did'nt really work for there goals where nth really had a hard time getting their majors. Bundoora looked a little scared and got pushed around all day. Bundoora looked like they had a lot of blokes playing for themselves rather than for the jumper and was some on feild arguments among team mates Nth are super quick and on a big ground are going to be very hard to beat they will beat mont this week by ten to fifteen goals on a small ground and i nth have'nt won a game there for at least ten years. The only thing going against nth is there is'nt much depth.

Larko was the best coach ive seen at mont ... he was a great coach
well organised at training , good drills and football smarts. what he does outside football is his business. it didnt effect his coaching
the stupidity of mont to get rid of him still amazes me.
but i suppose he didnt work with a hammer which seems to be all the vogue at mont .
for some reason at mont there seems to be a correlation between hammering and football knowledge

Dont know alot, but I do know for sure Mont did not want Larko to leave. Larko told me personally one night in Molly Blooms that he was only staying for 3 years, and he did exactly that, and that was in his first year of coaching down there.
So you work that out..Hammering? I think not. I know he would be welcome down at the nest any time and the game in round 1 between west and mont @ mont, larko was treated like he was still part of the Para rd crowd.
