i have spoken to about 5 of the boys from cobraland early last week and to be perfectly honest not sure if their from the 16s or the 18s (played 16s last year) their year 10 tho and they said nothing about leaving but were unsure if they were going to have enough to fill a side.

weapons as a former coach u should know there is always uncertainty amongst players until the coach actually calls them and introduces themselves and organises first training run ect.

often word spreads around that the new coach is a good bloke and the teams prospects are on the up and everybody comes out of the wood work keen as to play

They will have plenty of numbers for under 18s. Have been told DC has about 26 blokes to call from.

As for you Weapons, are you and Ausssie Pride lovers, because you both speak as much crap as each other. You just make up stuff and i need a translator to understand Aussie Pride. Good match i reckon. :)

Sunshine Heights were spotted training at Cherry Lake in Altona tonight.

Not sure on numbers but there appeared to be a plethora of guys of about 175cm tall with olive complexions. Also a guy with really white legs, who looked like Jesus Christ was spotted warming up.

He's a bit early. His re-incarnation is due in about 46 days....

A bit early yet to discuss individuals - until clearances are through they still will remain in-house.However,would think we are better placed this year than in previous years and we have a better balance of size throughout.

I know they picked up a young kid from Lalor, last name is comfort. He is a small roving forward. Apparently left to go play with his brother wayne, who is also an ex bloods player. Along with a couple of other boys from lalor who I have heard are going to put in clearances, coburg look like doing o.k.
Whats the bloods connection cole reserve?

[smg1602]

Coburg are the same every yeah spruke early lose the first 4 games, then hold up the ladder. They should not talk to round 17

Have been hearing quite a bit about Deer Park of late. Apparently they have a player budget of 50-60k this season. Plenty of cash coming from the Toyota dealership near by and the Deer Park Club.

President Goldy will also bring in heaps of $$$$ through his networking. Looking at increasing that player budget to $100k within the next 3 years. Want to win the flag this year, but prepared to wait 12 months if necessary. Good on them I say!

surely heights have to go up before d/p nth foots and the like.......

speaking with goldie there is no rush and have to build a strong foundation for the club to survive in the top comp.........we go up get smashed players leave we are in the same boat as west......while it is dissapointing the talk about west not having a competitive side is bad for their club and the comp as a whole..........got to give some credit to glenorden......

if you look at the teams of the past who have won div 2 g/f a's back to back then nth sunshine and glenorden.......a's very strong jnr program that will hold them in good stead.......nth sunshine stayed up for 2 years and that didnt help their cause comming back to div 2 jnrs they struggle with......glenorden have a big area and they do have jnrs but they arnt like the hoppers/wezza's from that area.....id say great people at the club with a lot of passion for the club hence them doing a fair job in divy 1 last year........now west......had a great team last year but a lot of older blokes who wouldnt cut it with the pace of div 1 these days talk of them not fielding a competitive side in 08 is dissapointing but it shows where the club is really at in terms of money and jnrs and enticing quality players to fill the void of all the older blokes that have retired or left the club to stay in div 2.........yer they won the div 2 g/f they can be proud of that going underfeated but no foundations means downhill skiing from here on in......

my opinion any thoughts.......:confused:

Completely agree with you weapons.. also dont forget to mention Altona.. they had a unbelievably strong side in dv 2 for years running (to the discredit of most of the div 2 clubs at the time) but did retain their list and added to it as well. it seems that you need strong juniors that come up through the ranks and sound committee structure to make it a possablitly to be competitive in div 1..

i agree weapons all the talk of wests last year setting themselves up 2 be competetive in div 1 was all crap. they bought a premiership and are now feeling the effects of low club loyalty. they should be made to stay up or fold not come back to div 2. u really need a good foundation of players who are going to stick with your club thru and thru

hope DEER PARK do what WEST did and spend 60grand to buy the flag then end up where WEST are now in the SHEET:Dand struggling:p

I dont think Sunshine Heights would be in a position to want to win a flag. If they do they would most definently be in a far worse position than West Foots. From what we've heard is no players are paid in any grade.

How/Why would anyone play Division 1 football for the love of it unless they flashed some coin?
I guess Sunshine Heights may be the first to try it without it. They are a big chance to do it this year. They were definetly the 2nd best team in the comp last year and would have to start favorites this year

Good luck to the coaching staff if they think they could recruit without cash.

Interesting that you say far worse position.
As typewriter said hieghts have a good foundation of
players that are loyal to the club who would not leave
regardless of the division the team plays.
How do i know this? 75% of the current senior side
Have played with heights for their entire career, including
juniors. You dont have to recruit those players.

I agree to be competitive in division one would require
a couple of recruits, but definately would not be in
a worse position than a west footscray to approach
division 1.

Just my opinion.

[triple oh]

if heights made div 1 they wouldnt be there 4 long u cant compete with sides that pay players $140grand like hoppers dont know where spotty get there money maybe growin dope on train lines if u aint got the $$$$$$$$ you dont go far. if you get a chance read ex bulldogs brad murphys article in local rag hoppers payin more than a VFL club wow. go the pokies:thumbsu::thumbsu::thumbsu:

Red Devil - save you some time

Glenroy boys are a couple of guys coming out of Under 18's looking for a change,
Atherton lives close by and played at Jacana played Reserves and a handful of senior games- looking to cement a senior spot
Comfort joining his brother here - burning up the track at preseason
Abbas played first half of year last year before returning to Lalor - very fit and will bean asset on ball
Caruso very handy and wants top play with his mates here
O'Shea from Sth Morang another Under 19 player who played a handful of games in Ressies last year looking to cement a senior spot - great kick and shows a lot of potential
The Gladdy boys you should know and their clearances will be finalised after Tuesday night's COM.

Sorry just landed back from the Fortress speaking with Jor-El.
I know every team is out there to win but seriuosly you dont want to win a flag and then as you say just give it a go, North Sunshine gave it a go and get belted for 2 years. They were cash strapped before going up and ended up nearly folding by the time they were back.
In their first season back in Division 2 they had lost heaps of players and financially ruined as they had to pay..

Do you honestly believe that 75% of your Senior squad would remain to play Division 1???? Just look at West Footscray.... I dont think so.

Seeing as they have been at the club for the entirety of their careers (including juniors) and as i am one of those players, then yes, i can confidently say they would remain. West Footscray is not Sunshine Heights. Plus these players are all in the age group of 20-24, not like west footscray 28-34. All i am saying is we would be in a better position than west footscray. My Opinion, biased as it may be.

most if not all of the divy 2 clubs in divy 2 now have weak junior teams and a few have no u18s, before you say otherwise altona and the top edfl 18s teams would smash any of them. so most teams have to recruit, and the majority of good players willing to play divy 2 are the older divy 1 players, so its goin 2 be tough for any of the divy 2 teams to come up and be competetive unless you win tattslotto or get pokies, and dont mention altona becuse im talking about the teams in divy 2 now,they are competive becuse therve had strong junior teams for years.if parkside had last years team this year in divy 2 no one would come close to them, but they have lost a few of there better players and will still be right up there. and as for nth footscray claiming they have good juniors your 18s came last in what is probably the weakest u18s comp in melbourne

Not sure where you go this from. We struggle for depth in our juniors.

Have some good players but just not the numbers in depth.

Thanks Cole Reserve! Exactly what I was after.


gold R.D.1

no stone unturned.........:thumbsu:

[w.weapons]

Seeing as they have been at the club for the entirety of their careers (including juniors) and as i am one of those players, then yes, i can confidently say they would remain. West Footscray is not Sunshine Heights. Plus these players are all in the age group of 20-24, not like west footscray 28-34. All i am saying is we would be in a better position than west footscray. My Opinion, biased as it may be.

seeing you have just bignoted yourself as ''one of those players'' which isnt a bad thing let the bigfooty folk know who you are or you just taking the piss like a couple of other people i know..........:confused::eek:

or should i say every body knows.........

North Footscray do have the best under 18's in Division 2 to get into A grade was a fair effort from them.

It was a good effort but unfortunately if you are not an Altona or Spotswood, you tend to lack depth in junior numbers. Injuries hit and confidence dropped after a few losses and it was difficult to regain momentum. The boys started quite well and only finished last after being knocked off by Port Colts in the last game. The coach CJ has done a fantastic job over the past few years.

[parkside.. F.C.]

can hardly say they have the best in division 2..
just because there 18s are in the A's..
doesnt make them any better than any of the top B's sides..

[Falcon]

Just look at Wyndhamvale, had a fairly good side in Under 18 A and plenty of young guns but now that club is on the border of folding.

[parkside.. F.C.]

plus Wyndamvales 18s are now part of the junior club arent they?

[unit27]

Western Magpies and West Footscray have always had strong under 18 sides .. its a shame that the seniors at Laverton havnt been able to capitilise with the talent weve had.

They won the flag in 06', so yeah they were better than the top B sides. Don't think they will be that strong this year.

How are Parkside faring? Numbers at training? Any signings to announce?

Guys in case you dont remember this is the thread for "WRFL Div. 2 Season 2008 and Beyond"
if you want to talk about the U/18's maybe start a new thread?

[ColeReserve]

Officially now final nails in the coffin for Gladstone Park & Brunswick Power - was ratified at tonights WRFL COM that both clubs are suspended due to being unfinancial and that the Draft Draw released in December will now become the official draw for season 2008.

Good old Gladdy played it out to the end - giving the League a cheque on 8 Feb to clear debts - only problem being that the cheque bounced !!

anybody have a link to the new fixture?

[borgsta2006]

Good to see Gladstone Park and Brunswick Power gone. TBH they really just caused nothing but problems from Day One, never really amounted to anything in the football scene and it makes for a better competition not having so many thrashings.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL DIV TWO SIDES FOR 2008.

[high roller]

this came straight from the horses mouth!!! chickey mcghie is a massive chance to suit up at nth sunshine for 2008, couple of mates of his have a lured him across to stay in divy 2 and alot more west players goin across. with west struggling for numbers and looking like being relegated or folding and louey being head coach of nth sunshine it would look like are very possible chance..

[borgsta2006]

It's a bit sad that someone of Chicken's ability won't stay in Div 1 but there are people that just don't want to play in that higher grade.
Good luck to him. Hopefully west and the other clubs find the players they need to have teams.

firstly didnt louie resign due to work commitments? and
secondly where the hell would north sunshine get the cash to pay for chickey and all his mates???

[PAUL3232]

North sunshine wont pay out big money again, learned there lesson when they won the flag and got stuck in first divvy with no money and club on the brink of folding.

The initial coach (Daryly Craig I think?) for 2008 resigned due to work commitments. I thought Louie then got the gig.

Who else has signed besides Lane? Is the McGee mail correct at North Sunshine? Where are you playing Hustle and Ball?

I see Webster has put in clearance to go to Pakenham and that Saliba has gone back to Anakie.

Hey Typewriter - is it true that the solarium king has signed down at Heights?

The mcghie mail is false unless nth sunshine wins tattslotto . for now all i can tell ya is there's a few training down there and just have to wait to see clearences but all can play .
p.s you boys better keep your fingers crossed and hope west footscray dont fold coz if they do there's going to be a lot more coming across . nth sunshine are hoping west will fold quicker than superman on laundry day .

dont want to put dampner on nth sunshines recruits from roosterland but what happens if nth sunshine did happen to win the div 2 flag. Would all the recruits from West run and hide from Div 1 footy again like they did when west won the flag???????????

Leopards dont change there spots do they????

I would be vary wary if l tried and true Nth Sunshine person.!!!!!

[Blueboy16]

Webster was one player who told coaching staff he was going home to Pakenham, released with best wishes.
Saliba has accepted a co-coaching role at Anakie I am told.

Looking very bright down at parkside, a lot of boys that left are coming back, still early days but my gosh it looking the goods down at parkside, How are other teams fairing with recruits, karim, red devil and anyone else any new players at your club and how strong is the quality. Parkside are looking to bounce back in 08.

Hello Tats. Glad to hear you are enjoying you new club. How is my old mate Faisel faring down at Parkside?

Solid, but not outstanding numbers at North Footscray training. Reckon we are averaging about 30 a night. Still waiting on a few blokes to turn up! Have picked up about 5-6 new blokes so far (with a few more to come). We also have a few under 18's from last year who are pushing for senior selection. Minty (ex-Coburg Districts and Roxburgh Park gun) is our new assistant coach and he is already making his presence felt.

I also think Dale Williams is primed for a return to the glory years. Yes and before you all howl me down (ie Karim, Height boys etc) that is my opinion!

[red devil1]

North Footscray FC (WRFL - Division 2 club) are seeking an opponent (Div.2) for a practice match on Saturday the 29/03/08.

Happy to play home or away.

PM me if interested.

hay WEAPONS hear youve lost robo to doutta and another good player on the verge of leaving due to a injury all the money and the new club rooms
isnt going to hlp the old parkers much see ur getting good numbers there to, think there were more people playing bingo across the road at the rsl:thumbsu:


yes was down their tonight.......robbo i knew about ages ago good on him having a crack at a grade........the other player you might be on the cards but has just had another op from the injury he had from last year......so really i dont know much more than that.......from all reports he wont be leaving but he wont be able to play....

numbers were poor did see 5 new blokes from albion though........with the 18's there would have been 35 to 40 and thats not counting them all.......

and hammo if your fairdinkum you would know there aint no bingo agross the road.........:eek: anyways keep sucking them.......:thumbsu:

howtrue recycled 2nd div players done it for years ethier not good enough for div 1 or coming back from div 1 because of age and getting good dollars as soon as the side wins gf they scoot to another div 2 side sounds like its happening to west :thumbsd::thumbsd::thumbsd:

wouldn't worry about high roller or whoever he is today he's a fool.

wouldn't worry about him playing at spotty because then he wouldn't be a big fish in a little pond.

isn't the west situation funny. is it really that good winning a premiership in that fashion I don't think so, blokes that have flocked to someone that is forking out the dollars and looks strong then see you later at the end of the year quicker than you can say "where's my final pay cheque suckers". for all the spruiking west did about 2008 I say suffer you pussy wankers. didn't quite pay putting all your hope on lachlan mcghie did it.

If you knew about Robbo ages ago why didn't you share it with us at Big Footy Land. He is a big loss. Weapons give me one name of a new recruit. I haven't heard of one yet. Saw Madigan was quoted in the local rag about a 3 year plan to get back into 1st division. Said that a heap of sponsors had come on board so if you have the $$$ will probably happen.

3 year plan....sounded like Terry Wallace.
