D1 Ammos - for footy talk only

[The Dev Cracker]

I'm over these alias's and piss taking on the current thread.

Anyone with an serious opinion feel free to post here.:thumbsu:

[Land Monster]

Well said Dev Cracker, you are a credit to the forums. How about that Jascave, he is a bit trigger happy when it comes to threads with polls.

Anthony43, where is Parade going for footy trip?

[The Hyphen 5]

how do we know who are the ones that are using aliases? if thats the case then good idea to start the new topic. its a bit disappointing if that is happening.

[Anthony43]

Ripper idea fellas.
Im sick of some of those Hampton toffee jerks and all their crappy banter.
Not sure about the trip yet mate, any suggestions?

Wouldn't mind heading to Kangaroo Flat again. Ripper time there a couple of years back.

[Jascave]

I reckon the Rovers-Old Mentonians game this Saturday could well be a preview of one of the finals ( ie first semi, second semi, preliminary or even the grand final) played later this year.

By the way, thinking back to what Terry Wallace said yesterday re 'tanking' and trying to lose every game so that either Richmond, Carlton or Melbourne could get the no.1 pick in this year's national draft. Can you see the difference between the AFL comp where a team like the ones I mentioned above is trying to lose (or at least win one more game and then put up the shutters for the rest of the year) so they could get the no.1 pick, compared to the VAFA where the bottom 2 or 3 teams treat every game like a grand final between now and round 18, because they don't want to drop to a lower section.

What do you think of this issue; AFL 'tanking' (lose every game, get no.1 pick in draft) v VAFA relegation (two or three teams that are on the lower rungs of the ladder-where it be A or B or D1-treat EVERY game like it is a grand final, knowing the consquences of going down to a lower level and finding it hard to get back up again).

The Draft system is THE biggest issue in AFL. I hate the fact that a team get rewarded for mediocrity. Round 22: Carlton play Melbourne. If Carlton haven't won another game it could be a scenario where:
They win (they get pick #3), they lose they get pick #1 & 3.
Melb win (they get pick #4) they lose they get pick #2.
You win you ultimately lose.................its got to change.

P!ss off to the AFL forum with this Jase. We're here to talk D1 Ammos.

[The Dev Cracker]

***** off to the AF forum with this Jase. We're here to talk D1 Ammos.

Ease up idiot - he can write what he wants to write. If you don't want to read it......Then don't!:mad:

[Uncle Mick]

No. The Chief(not to be confused with PrezChief) has personally requested that as the only honest individual on this thread, Uncle Mick should monitor it.

Anyway, back to more pressing issues, like how the draw in the next 3 weeks will open up the competition.

Mentone 44
Hampton 40
Geelong 40
Oakleigh 38
Prahran 34
Peninsula 32


You heard it here first.....

[PrezChief]

I think its more likely to be:

Oakleigh 46
Old Ment 44
Hampt R 40
Prahran 38
Old Geel 36
Buleen T 24
Old Pen 24
Yarra V 12
Parade 12
Therry 4

Ithink it will be left to the top 5 to fight it out for the 4, and Yarra Valley to overtake Parade in the battle to stay up.

[Jascave]

Here's my ladder at the end of the year:

Oakleigh
Hampton Rovers
Old Mentonians
Prahran
-----------------
Bulleen Templestowe
Old Geelong
Peninsula
Old Paradians
Yarra Valley
Therry Penola

I think the Rovers massive percentage would be enough for them to stay in the four, Old Mentonians to drop a couple of games, Oakleigh will finish top of the table and Bullen Templestowe, and Old Geelong unlucky to miss out on finals. But it's the relegation battle for me that will be worth watching. I think Old Paradians and Yarra Valley will fight tooth and nail just to stay in D1, with Old Paradians surviving on the last round of the season to stay there.

Here's the matches to look out for in terms of finals and relegation:

ROUND 15:
Yarra Valley v Old Paradians
Old Mentonians v Oakleigh
Old Geelong v Prahran

ROUND 16:
Hampton Rovers v old Geelong
Old Paradians v Bulleen Templestowe
Oakleigh v Prahran

ROUND 17:
Old Geelong v Therry Penola
Bulleen Templestowe v Old Mentonians
Prahran v Hampton Rovers

ROUND 18:
Hampton Rovers v Oakleigh
Old Mentonians v Peninsula
Yarra Valley v Bulleen Templestowe
Old Geelong v Old Paradians

Here is my projection:

Old Mentone
Oakleigh
Prahran
Old Geelong
Hampton
Bulleen Temp
Peninsula
YV
Old Parade
Therry

I think OM's will continue despite apparent injuries, Oakleigh are IMO the ones to beat, whilst Prahran will have a couple of slip ups. OG i think may be starting to roll whilst Hampton will be unlucky despite high percentage. I think YV will do enough to stay out of the relegation zone.

We are all entitled to our own opinions Mr. Date, but I'd love to know which club you are affiliated with to come up with those predictions...

I believe the the next 4 weeks, Rounds 12 to Rounds 15 will sort out the relegation race. This week Parade vs Therry is a massive game. In Round 14, Yarra Valley venture out to Therry and the following week Old Paradians play Yarra Valley at Yarra. The results of these 3 games are crucial for who will stay alive in D1.

Can't agree with you on that one Chief, I will have to say Cmon Old Paradians, but obviously it will not be easy. Yarra seem to be playing pretty good footy. Parade must win this week, and if Yarra drop that will give them a 2 game break. As I said it is going to be a tough road ahead.

we've seen some of your threads, posts and polls. you don't know jack about footy. and your chirpy rovers friends will enjoy watching the finals after making fools of themselves on here when they miss out cos they can't win the important ones.

south of the yarra is right. and yarra will win 2 of the games to stay up. parade will need something special to steel 8th spot.

Oakliegh Away - 3 points
Prahran Home - 8 goals

Not important games? You're a dimwit, and fancy you bagging someone for not knowing about football. I think you may have just called the kettle black?:thumbsd:

Go easy moron. Don't think you'll find many of us being chirpy. It's still an open field and we're not guaranteeing our spot. We're certainly confident, but it's a strange game and there's a long way to go. Back in your box you goose.

Well i will take back my view on Hampton over the past week. They were very impressive on Saturday and have proved me wrong. It seems as though my ladder prediction will be somewhat off.

[uglydermie]

No real story Chief - BT just wanted it a bit more, which was good to see after our last 2 weeks.

have to agree with that. bad preparation led to a poor performance. take nothing away from bulleen. they were hard and committed.

[Land Monster]

I heard that the Bullants were chasing Ulbrich in the off season. In order to comply with VAFA regulations they did not offer cash payments, rather a Sweathog tracksuit in mint condition, a Ray Borner basketball card, a fun size milky way and a North Melbourne Giants bumper sticker.

How he knocked it back is beyond me, a true story of loyalty over greed.

[Duddy]

how gracious of you to veil your compliments so... spare me mule. bad prep two weeks running now, or were you just genuinely beat this time?

massive win there against prahran dermie! will be a good game this week!!

any mail on your ruckman will be appreciated, i need to work on my strategy! and is that old fossil still bumbling around up forward for you guys, or has he taken a leaf out of robbo's book and left it to us young blokes :p ?

clam up parrot. a bad day allround. your team had a slump early on. we need to arrest the slide. bulleen are doing everything right at the moment. big game on saturday will show where both they and hampton are at. i think they'll end your run.

Thanks MF- the Sweathog trackie could come in handy at the moment.

It was a close call though the chance of catching up with mates in the early hours at BP was too hard to give up

Good luck to them if they do. Just means you're side are up the sh*t moron. Not a good time to be mouthing off when you're relying on results to sneak into the 4 you goose.

Stop being nerds and talk something more interesting like my hot tan or the footy.
Can Oakleigh claim top spot his week with a win?
Will Hampton bounce back from the embarrassing defeat they were handed by the Pirates in Round 6 and make it 9 in a row?
Will Yarra Valley win the relegation battle against the Raiders this week?
Or will d4gradedale finally earn some of this cash he keeps throwing around?
Is PrezChief really too old and slow?
Do I really have the best tan in Amateur football?

who cares about your tan??? its my golden boots people que up to see!!! the only reason you are so tanned is that you catch the reflection of the sun from my scalp when you're chasing my tail you nerd!!

[Jenny Voss]

Camwron. What's this I hear about you being out late with another girl last weekend. Why didn't you cwose the deal on this one? You know I want some wittle gwanchildren to make me feel just as old as my fellow "fwiends" Maxy and the Silver Fox. I wish you would hurry up and start planting your seeds. Tweedle dumm and Tweedle dummer, your dimwit brothers are doing no good for me either.

What's happened with the PwezChief. He seems to be off his game a little bit wately. Has something happened? You boys haven't been pwaying with his phone again have you?

The Rovers are really starting to find their feet in this section. I was worried about them early this year. At first I thought it was the soccer epidemic that had a stranglehold on our grassroots football, Camwron. Then all this partying, fighting and up to no good. They just didn't seem as focused and interwested anymore. But the boys have really pulled together. I think we can go all the way now - just like when Max used that line on me once.

And tell Jason to stop giving away all the Rovers little twade secrets. There's no element of surprise for Mr Cleary and his friends if he keeps telling them everything.

[Pinto_09]

I want to talk some genuine D1 footy stuff! I love this stuff!

[saints]

Well 2 new sides from D2 joining next year. Aquinas and South Districts. How do people think they will go. Both teams were standouts in D2. Far too good for some teams in that league.
