LOL,
I'd prefer to say I'm a Big Footy Legend, but thanks for the accolades.
I'm happy to cop all shit that comes my way - it kind of gets me off in a very kinky kind of way. :o
But I do enjoy giving it out as well. :cool:

exactly right, bundoora didnt drop any players and even if we did it would have been legal because all the bulls eligible u19s had played the correct amount of games to qualify.

People who are already writing off Eltham should think back to round 2 last year when Bundoora beat Eltham by 100 points. It is only round 5 and there's still a lot of improvement in the Panthers, with some handy inclusions to come back into the side who didnt play against Bundy, and I'm not talking about players playing 1s. Bundoora were solid though and will be up there again come finals time.

agreed, it was a good alround contest with some pretty high quality u19s footy being played at times. both teams have quality players to come back (again not talking about senior players). should be another hard fought contest next time around again too. but one thing i dont understand is why so much talk about eltham and bundy when west is sitting pretty on top. i must say ask though, what was the match like between eltham and west? i know the end result was 30 points but was it a tight contest up until then? did eltham have players down, or were west just too good? and seeing as though you panthers have played both the bulls and roosters, who would you say has the upper hand going into their match in round 6?
freddo.. west are full of good young players.. no idea where they've come from.. should be a good unit. Eltham just ran out of legs against them,they kicked 8 in the last to bring it home..eltham never play well at west but were beaten by a better side..definately must watch them.
i think no corey smith and tim chapman didnt help the panther cause against ur mob either freddo. that ali samie is a gun, # 20 wasnt to bad either, youse will be hard to beat come finals time.

Eltham would definately have been disappointed with their performance. It was close all day but Panthers were flat, skills were down and they never seemed to get going. Then west pulled away in the last 10-15 mins. You'd think West and Bundy would be fairly evenly matched but it depends if west can stund up when put under real pressure.

West Prestons U19 team is made up of alot of new and excitng tallent. There was only 5 players in the side that defeated Eltham that played the year before. The rest have all come up from under 17 football.
Ali is a good player that served an excellent apprentiship as a member of West's succesfull 2006 squad, were he would have learnt alot from many experienced players and coaches.
Cant say that Im liking him in the blue & white uniform, but good luck to him.

Ahhh moosey, the top job is going to your head, I remember not to long ago you were the instigator of most if not all sledging that occurs on under 19's big footy thread, do you still think that div 1 19's is no good and div 2 19's is better standard? All in good fun moosey, congrats on the appointment. :thumbsu:

Nah Sledging is all good fun although it needs to kept footy related. No-one needs to call someone else a pedophile... Like I always said, Divvy 2 u19s sides can match it with the top divvy 1 sides. Its only the sides outside the top four that are a fair way behind.
You know our side last year would have gone very close in divvy 1 with the likes of Shelton, Stewart and Anderson...

Moosey, good reply lol...But I have to say that the Demons would not have made the four in div 1 last year. Yes Shelton is gun, can match it with anyone, but as for Benny and he's a good mate of mine, he is also a very good player but not in the same ilk as Shelton. If there your best 3 players, and throw yourself in there to make it four compare them to Bundooras best 4, Elthams best 4, N/Parks best 4 and Greensboroughs best 4 and I think you will find that they may not be quite as good, and then there is your lesser players which in the end determine games. Who ever has the worst 5-8 players will lose almost every time. But like I say, good reply lol.

LLmoose
15 May 2008, 23:49
Mernda are doing well considering they had 12 players on the list the tuesday before round 1. A bit of talent running around but they are all relatively new to eachother so give them a year to gel.
On our team last year they were not our top three. We had a very even team and thats what helped us. We had 3 or 4 blokes that could play every position on the ground and all the blokes played for eachother. Not saying we would have dominated but we would have been a very good show.

How can it be cheating if it was in the rules. If it was cheating wouldn;t the NFL have awarded the flag to Northcote Park.
Don't blame Bundy and Eltham if they have plenty of players in the 1's and you guys can't get anyone in.wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
possible grand final preview this week bundoora V eltham should be a great game hopefully the bulls can maintain there winning ways:thumbsu:.
Bundoora will win the flag by a country mile and they will play WPL.
Eltham are spuds and only play well against lesser opposition.
An I Know , I know they have 10 or so of their 19's in the ones, but it's what is still in the 19's that aren't good enough to match Bundy and WPL, which has already been proven this year.

Ahh another wise one, it was at the same stage last year that people were writing Eltham off and pumping up the tires of the likes of Bundoora and Northcote Park, not that they needed any pumping up, and well we all know the happy ending to the story. Dont write Panthers of yet champ, still a long way to go yet. :thumbsu:

Had a meeting tonight and only 9 blokes turned up so the club is going to sit down and decide which path to go down tomorrow with a decision likely to be made by thursday. It's pretty disappointing but we've been trying hard and have just had no committment from a dozen guys who are letting all the others down. It also doesn't help when you have a large chunk of eligible blokes playing senior footy(i think it was 8 last round).

Pity if it occurs.
Last thing other clubs want is a bye and last thing Lalor wants is a gap at that age level given their success in producing senior players from the U19 list.

Venues are not the issue just the committment. If the majority aren't training and can't be bothered turning up for a meeting then we are left in an uncertain position until Saturday morning to find out who's available,even after making numerous phone calls(Which most of these young fella's don't reply to anyway). Final decision will be made tomorrow night but my thoughts at this stage are that we won't have a side this weekend and maybe for the rest of the season.

Spot on Alter. It's going to be a hard slog but our club rules have probably now made us a victim of our own success in promoting young blokes. My views pre-season was that the league needed to make our thirds under 18 like every other comp. Hopefully all the club can sit down together with the league sooner rather than later and reach a happy medium for everybody.

maybe cause your club's shit, dont blame that your club has made use a victim of own success. look at eltham they have 10 blokes week in week out playin 1s and leave the 19s with a full side. there are other clubs who have under 19 eligible players in their ones also. and your the only club that is not able to field a side, so why would the league turn the tables just for you blokes.

Why does every1 just have pot shots at eltham on here. Never really understood that.
Maybe its because every1s a bit worried that the Panthers will turn it on again come finals time when no one gives them a chance.

Have Eltham had any success? I think not,they only play their kids and then put them back so they can win an under 19 premiership which will always attract quality senior players to a club. We could field a side if we had an influx of another 6 kids from our under 17's but as most of our kids in that age group are first year players it would be asking too much of them. You can say what you like about our club because it just goes to prove you know nothing about the blood boys, but if you are any good you may find out this week if you are lucky enough to be selected in the senior side.

don't worry mate!! we don't need to attract senior players we got quality players coming through you'll see the young talent this week mate, its a shame u wont see us in a few years though when your back in divy 2 where teams like u that cant field a 19s belong :thumbsu::thumbsu::):)

in terms of eltham having success i think they have. the fact that eltham have consolidated a spot over the years in division one says enough.
i can tell you now i wont be in the senior side this weekend, if i was at lalor maybe.. as tristin harrrower plays for your ones.(therefore i know something). if you didnt have lance you would be garenteed relegation. sweet side

First of all champ, you won one premiership in div 2, apart from that I cant remember that last time lalor have had any success. Second of all, it was div 2. As for Eltham, yes they have not won premierships as far as the senior ranks go, but as far as determining success well there is different avenues to look at success. Eltham have now been up in div 1 and consolidated a spot for 5-6 years now, they have got an under 19's side up and running as of last year after going without one for several years and in the first year back winning a div 1 flag. There are now 9-10 players every week playing in the senior team at Eltham that could qualify for under 19's and there are still players having to be rostered of at under 19 level due to so many numbers. They have showed they can match it with the top sides going down to North Heidelberg by a point and Bundoora by a goal, two teams that made up the top 3 last year. Eltham now has a healthy young list which in years to come will be a powerhouse of the NFL, young players of the ilk of Varsamarkis, O'Sullivan, Sandy, Sturgess, Lorey, Smith, Merkel, Brazalle, both Tantiss-Hall's, Courtot, Biggs, Weatherald, Brigham, Hughes and Williamson combined with the older experienced heads such as the Richardson brothers, Contessa, Minney, Brincat, Bongetti, Audley and Chambers makes for a good mix and a club on the rise.

You might want to re-check your research mate. Lalor won 3 div 2 senior flags since being relegated in 2001. ( reserves and under 19's flags also won in these years). They were the most succesful side in div 1 during the 90's winning 4 senior and 1 reserves flag plus a couple in the 19's. I think that you blokes down at Eltham could only dream of this success.

The Only Reason Your Under 17 Players Dont Come Up Is Because They Are Either In Remand, Barwon Prison, Or Port Phillip
Whoa guys settle down here.... Taking pot shots at Lalor, and then indirecting claiming that Eltham are the benchmark of juniors into seniors.
Some very ill-informed comments. Comments which must be based upon lack of research, and bloggers too young to know any different.
Firstly, during the 90's, Lalor won flags in Div 1, year in-year out , all this while Eltham were doing the yo-yo back and forth Between Divisions. If you would like to compare the two, then compare Elthams success(or lack of), while Lalor was doing the Yo-yo in the early 00's. No comparision at all.
Secondarily, lets compare the U/19's and the success that has come from that, with one main determining factor in mind. That is the AFL young talent pool in the regions at the times of success.
Firstly allow me to state that the talent pool amongst Lalor, and surrounding suburbs has fallen dramatically within the past 3 years, due to the huge influx of relevent aged boys turning their attention to soccer. Prior to 3 years ago, they played Footy. Lalor cashed in on this and won U/19 flags.
Elthams current crop of young players are in abundance, and this is reflected upon how many in the area are on the Knights lists and Development squads. As does the lack of talent from Lalor and surrounding suburbs. With this in mind, it would be negligent to expect nothing but success from Eltham's juniors-U/19's. And to Eltham credit they have succeeded in fulfilling that paper potential. It definetly looks like that paper potential will continue. And I hope it does.
This was the same paper potential that Lalor turned into success during the 90's.
Once this era has passed, lets guage Eltham's success upon what it has or has not achieved. Next era of success shall be South Morang and Mernda. Along with the new phase that is stemming through Preston, Northcote, Fairfield. Unfortunetly the paper prediction for the suburb teams that lie between these growth and re-growth areas is not prominent. These teams (West Preston, Reservoir, Keon Park, )need a great recruitment plan, along with a huge financial backer to produce success during these lean coming years.
With these facts in mind, and the current growth demographic of the junior players, let's judge clubs upon how well they do with the abundance resources they fortunetly find themselves in, or those clubs that make the most of the poor junior demographic position they find themselves in.

well said and agree with it mostly unlucky that someone didnt research lalor as i heard they had a gun side n battled with northcote a few time back in the 90's and where defiantly the benchmark, looking forward to today there are struggling and may yo yo as eltham did, i can only hope we have some of the same success lalor did, although there 19's are struggling and they will need to sort out asap apparently at the start of the year all the presidents voted and the nfl will be putting in there by laws is that a division 1 team need to field a 3rds team whatever age group it may become under 19s or 18s

spot on jaw, trying to justify fotoy from the 90's is a different story. clubs should know whats needed of them in the future, and the fact that lalor once again could not fill a side is a joke.

Looker, You are quite right in everything you have said and yes many of those on this particular thread are too young to remember the "good old days. :thumbsu:
As much as I have a passionate hate (hate is a very strong word - but very appropriate)for the bloods - I do respect them ( :eek: I can't belive i said this!), they were an absolute unit throughout the 90's and you knew they would do all they possibly could do (even sometimes illegally) to win every game of football possible.
Football is cyclic game - you need to make the most of it while you at the top of your game and work your A$$ off when you are not.
There are no real comparisons that can be made between Eltham & Lalor in terms of 1st Division success (at least at this stage) But success can be measured in many different ways - not just Div 1 premierships, so it is fair to say both are proud and successful clubs in their own defined ways.
What happens with both clubs over the next 10 or so years is the destiny that is in the very own hands of both clubs. And of course so it is too with the other emerging clubs and those traditionally strong.
Go Panthers.

KA, read with interest your response to Looker and you both expressed your opinions which I can't disagree with.
But (KA) you really should have a chat to your panther cubs and tell them to carefully read other Big Foot respondents' postings and respect them as they are written. Not all are directly attacking Eltham FC but instead trying to give a subjective view:).

leroy do you think the standard of footy has droped since the 90s. I think most young sides in the nfl would stuggle against sides in the 90s eg lalor eltham greensborogh, i imagine that our young blokes would struggle against the likes of trevor robinson, Ricky abbatangalo, joe and mat ahmad, Athos hyroliakos, peter dean, marty kemp, john burke, spider shaw, ledgends of the nfl dont think theres many blokes running around.

Its a fair call. Some real tough cookies amongst the names you mentioned, some real champion players and some (not all) real champion blokes.
Yes, Footy was different in those days mate and I for one thoroughly enjoyed it. But, times change and playing styles come and go. Players adapt to the way footy is governed and strategy is implemented to combat newer or refreshed playing tactics.
Some of the tactics employed in the past just simply wouldn't cut it in today's game and some players would have to curb their natural desires for agression or could find themselves umpired out of being effective.
The kids of today are no differnt to those of yester year, except they are seemingly more skilful, have more pace and don't fear the reputations or respect built up by clubs over the years.
Comparing the current crop to the best of the 90s is very unfair as some of the current teams would have a red hot go in the past era just as those teams would still be competitive in more modern times.
Stoogey, in 10 -15 years time, you'll probably have Little Stooge02 b.s on bigfooty to K.A jr about how good their era is in comparison to the present. Of course hopefully by then, Eltham will have collected a few Div 1 premierships and Lalor are the yo yo side between Div 2 and Div 3.

E the K,
I think you will find that the Bye will mean 4 points awarded to the team that has it. It hasn't yet been reflected in the ladder but i'm sure it will be added in for the Panthers.
Lalor had up until withdrawel not won a match in U 19's in season '08 so no team will be disadvantaged by the draw being an auto 4 pts.

Eltham have get a bye as will Bundoora and North Heidelberg.
Northcote have no result recorded for lalor's forfeits.
So the teams to be advantaged are Heidelberg, Diamo, Monty, Greensy and West.

Bundoora will win the flag by a country mile and they will play WPL.
Eltham are spuds and only play well against lesser opposition.
An I Know , I know they have 10 or so of their 19's in the ones, but it's what is still in the 19's that aren't good enough to match Bundy and WPL, which has already been proven this year.
thats a big call there ifooty i play for bundoora and have played against both eltham and west and reckon eltham were a better team than west even tho we played west in the worst conditions ever but still only half way through the season n hopefully our boys can keep playing good footy like we have been and cant wait to get to the business end of the year after our disapointing end to last years season

does anyone know what the go is with the under 19s ladder? after lalor played a few games and got smashed, sides who had a 'bye' agaisnt them havent received the 4 points, which disadvantages the sides that havent played them. will this be fixed
anyone want to have a crack at the top four this year? i reckon it will stay the same, maybe northcote park a chance to slot into fourth.
Hopefully the boro beat west this week, and from what ive heard they are very very confident

yes you would have to think bundoora,west,eltham will occupy the top 3 in what order will be determined in the weeks to come (with what i expect to be some tough close games with one another). and your right again 4th spot is of course out of boro and nthcote, but i would have to think the slime will get in there and may not just make up the numbers in the finals either. tomorows game at west will indeed be very interesting, boro has played much of the early part of the season not at full strength and will now start to trouble the rest of the comp. very interested to see the results from that game tomorow.

Although they knocked off West Preston, I knew something was up and as i checked the seniors list i noticed that Jason Defelice, Kane Heany, James McInerny & Corey Ray played ones and those players are instrumental in Wests success, take all four out in one go and it definitly will put more pressure on other players. Take nothing away from Greensborough although not a fan, they always have been hard at it, will be interesting to see how they fare against Eltham and Bundoora.

yeh i believe those players would have made a fair difference. there pace and movement through the middle of the ground would have made the game alot closer. i think eltham are getting underrated yet again. last year winning their last 9 or so games and if they had have lost any before the finals they may not have even made it. they have won 5 games in a row now with ease. and beat greensborough last time by 50 pts. they have now gained a few players such as macca rundle, big strong target up forward. matthew tucker, can be played anywhere and terrific skills. little steve whos a goal sneak up forward and can be dangerous wen on song. i heard they have lost brooksy tho? is this true, if so how come? i heard hes was quite a player

agreed the players would have made a huge difference, but your right it happens to everyone so it should not be used as an excuse. im sure west will bounce back. as for eltham no they are not being underrated, not by bundoora or by the people i speak to at greensborough anyway.. you fellas just like to put an underdog tag on yourselves all the time(and thats fair enough) but certainly not underated, as the reigning premiers your the team to beat. iv also heard gboro are full of confidence off their win and are really lookin forward to testing themselves against you as in round 1 they had a few out too. should be a good game and im looking forward to seeing the results.

yeh it should be an interesting result. im tipping eltham to run over them late in the game. they are a fit side, fitter than greensy i believe. it will be a hard fought battle all day, but im tipping eltham for this one. the match of the year i believe if eltham do get over greensy and keep winning will be eltham V Bundoora. It's bundooras home game and should be a belter if both teams keep the wins up.

haha, probably right Nixon, Luke Vincintorio is the type of player to sneak under the radar considering his size and cherry picks like no tommorow, now his pretty much found out and its pretty simple...... man him up and he wont go near it in turn choking West Prestons goal supply as there is no other distinct goal kicker.

very interesting i personally havnt seen him play yet, but i always see him kicking bags. if what you say is true that he will struggle with someone on him tight then your right they will need to find a forward who kicks consistent goals apart from him, because looking at their results its their midfielders who kick alot of their other goals. so if vincitorio did struggle it would put more pressure on the mids to get forward meaning their accountability on the other end would be tested. not saying he will struggle because its only been 1 bad game for him... but just a thought.

example. only kciked one goal vs greensy. they played him tight. he is a cat doesnt like body contact.
does anyome know whats going on with the ladder? surely the teams that get the bye instead of playing lalor should be getting the 4 points. for example in the fight for positioning in the top4 bundoora and eltham are being greatly disadvantaged. bundoora has lost 0 games and west and the slime have both lost 2. . yet they are only 4 points behind beacause they got to play lalor. likewise eltham have only lost 2 games, same as west and boro but because of the bye they, like bundoora, miss a game and get no points for it so they are 4 points behind. does anyone know if this is going to stay or will it be fixed?
