Under 18's teams in 2008

[bomber boys]

he was walking around at the league bf with a cast on his arm, doubt he'll be back

nah he has done his arm gone for season

[matho44]

all excited for this weekend bomber boys?

[gothelakers]

yes i agree there the gordan bloke seem to just kick it to gunell when kicking out and that was there plan acoirding to there quater time hudle so i suppose if hepburn shut them down the game is theres.

that might be insightful if you could read the jibberish you've just wrote..

[Bigburra]

nah he has done his arm gone for season
LIES, lol

LIES, lol

fill us in then :)

[Bunnieshero13]

I feel Gordon may get the drop just on Hepburn judging from their form on the weekend. And Buninyong should be able to beat Bungaree if they played like they did on the weekend..

[bomber boys]

all excited for this weekend bomber boys?

yea cant wait mate hopefully be a really good game. you pumped for it?? any changes to your team from when we played ya last time

[bomber boys]

well lookin at the 2 times hepburn and gordan have meet hepburn have been able to beat them by a bit so you would think hepburn would go in favourites this week so that should be an exciting game

[bungareepremiers06]

no way mate, buninyong will need to play a hell of a lot better than that to even come close. in case you missed it, hepburn still kicked 12 goals on the weekend and a man by the name of sam winard kicked 5 of those.
the buninyong defence was apalling from where i was standing and wont be able to afford another of those performances.
the game on saturday was a fantastic game to watch, high scoring, free flowing, attacking football but defensively was very average.

hepburn on paper are shoe-ins to win this with pretty comprehensive victories over gordon on both occasions this year altho may not have favouritism. ive only seen gordon in thier victories over the last two years (minus the grand final in 07) and would think that they will be too dominant for hepburn. be interesting to see which gordon shows up imo

You dont think that you are a tad harsh there mate, being that buninyong did win the game and that other than sam winard no one kicked more than 2 goals. So you say the hole defence was terrible well dosent that say differently. And if you have a look at buninyongs bests you will see that both Kayne Gilbert and Mark Tanis who are Buninyongs two key defenders both got in there best. So they cant have gone that bad can they?

i agree with you there m8 if our backline was crap well how was hepburns with brendan davies kicking 6 goals. and mark tanis played very well on winard obviously winard would out muscle mark with his size he isnt a small man but mark played good and so did gilbo

[matho44]

you'll have to wait till the weekend for changes bomber boys
by the way is it true hepburn had around 4 u15s players playing? if so thats a fair effort to only lose by 7 points

[bungareepremiers06]

doesnt hide the fact they conceded 12 goals. for winard to kick 5, who is an average player would suggest to me tanis did not do the job on him. tanis had a lot of the ball and covered the holes well but was far too unaccountable for mine.
im not trying to take away from buninyongs performance on saturday, it was a good win, but i dont think anyone would argue that Bungaree has a much stronger forward line?
its not about hepburn's backline either, they were pretty dismal as well. all im saying is against Bunga thier backs will need to be much much tighter than against Hepburn.

gotta agree with ya there mate Winard shouldnt kick 5 goals against anyone however id love to see buninyong get the win this week itd be nice to see someone other than bungaree in the granny for once

[Bunnieshero13]

rumour is patty webb is out for the weekends game because of a club enforced suspension. Anyone clarify? And is O'halloran still out with the injury?

Bungaree Vs Buninyong
a gutsy come from behind win typified buninyong's season so far last weekend. After going goal for goal with hepburn for most of the match Buninyong simply had to much run for the Burra's to come storming home. This week will be yet another tough one for the bunnies against the undefeated Bungaree, a side that has lost just 3 matches in 4 seasons. However finals are a completely different ball game from the H&A rounds and on their day any side can win it.
Expect the match to be nowhere near as high scoring as last week unless its a blowout, and for Buninyong to make thier bid for a grand final berth, a much tighter effort down back.
Last time the two sides met at Buninyong the conditions were windy and cold with Bungaree holding the ascendancy for most of the match, yet never able to shake the Buninyong boys off.
Murphy and Davies will be the focal points up forward for thier respective sides and the efforts of these two will go along way to deciding the match.
In The Midfield, Bomatali, Miller, Marshall, Brundell and McVitty can expect a tough contest from the likes of the two Joels, Duggan and Mahar, Laux and Nichols.
The most intriguing and telling battle may yet be in the ruck between Locandro and Mitchell, and thier around the ground performances.
My tip is Bungaree to head straight to the grand final with a resounding 6 goal victory
(i'm clearly biased)

Hepburn vs Gordon
A huge match being an elimination final, this one is one of the hardest to predict yet. Hepburn have towelled Gordon both times this year and deserve favouritism yet after a 13 goal trouncing of Creswick last week, the Eagles are in good form. Once again the Gunnels, Aquilina and Lahey are crucial to Gordon's success but it may be thier lesser likes in Murphy, Carey and Gorman that need to produce.
Hepburn will be out to prove the public they are not pretenders and avoid two straight sets defeats in consecutive years with another dominant performance over Gordon. Cimera, Knight and Allison will be critical in winning clearances but the anticipated matchup of Hughes on Aquilina may prove the difference.
Gordon in another tight one, 4 points

[beaufortboy223]

Bungaree v Buninyong

Bungaree will definately start red hot favourites however a lot of people have writin buninyong off this year and therv proved a lot of people wrong. Buninyongs defensive pressure will have to be better than last weeks. I think buninyong will tag maher and if bungaree are gonna tag any1 itd be bomatali. Its a shame sam turner played seniors this year cos if hes as good as everyone says he could make this game very interesting. I think bunga will win by 5-6 goals but i think itd be good for the league if Buninyong could get up an win it.

Hepburn v Gordon

Hepburn are about 10 times quicker than Gordon however Gordon have the big blokes and i think the conditions will suit them tomorrow. If anyone can challenge Luke Gunnell in the ruck i think its Hepburns ruckman dont know his name but hes a very good player. Alec Cimera and Brett Knight could really hurt Gordon with their speed and class and Ben Hughes has to play on Aquilina who showed his class last week. Hepburn will have to get goals from their on ballers. Paul Lahey or James Maher may have to play a tagging role. If gordons on ballers get on top it could be a long day for hepburn. Hepburn wont go down without a fight but i think gordon will get home by 8 points.

[footy rilz]

well could we possibly have asked for 2 beta games today. Both of them were absolutely brilliant to watch and were litarelly up for grabs in the final seconds. Cant say that one game was better than another, they were both just great. Hepburn were very gutsy and lucky to get up 2 steal victory and bungarees win was a real struggle the hole way. Anyone know who gave the 50m penalty away for Gordon?
It will b a very tough game next week 2 get into grand final, have to give the nod to buninyong in a close 1. Also is there any news on how serious Lacandro is injured?

Yeah it was great. Just like to acknowledge the Gordon boys on coming into the rooms and congratulating us, especially after losing in such a manner. :thumbsu:

Regarding Matho's post, yes there were 4

It was Paul Lahey from Gordon, he ran through the mark.

[matho44]

was with locandro today, his fine. milked it a bit ;)

[gothelakers]

It was Paul Lahey from Gordon, he ran through the mark.

didn't run through the mark... one umpire called play on and so he ran to tackle the bloke and then the other umpire called it 50 metres... summed up the umpiring for the day...

[Leebud]

didn't run through the mark... one umpire called play on and so he ran to tackle the bloke and then the other umpire called it 50 metres... summed up the umpiring for the day...

Actually the umpire said hurry it up, and didn't call play on. The Gordon player must have thought he called play on. So unlucky for Gordon. Lucky for Hepburn

[fatality666]

was with locandro today, his fine. milked it a bit ;)

not a big surprise to hear you say that.. it looked like bit of a time waster and pretty soft when you consider that the tackler was joel kitchen one of the smallest players on our team against possibly the tallest player for bungaree.

Bad luck to gordon as well thought they deserved the win played a pretty solid first half only to lose it in such a shit way... take nothing away from hepburn tho it was a great fight back and is set to be another great battle between hepburn and the bunnies as it has been all season.

[Bunnieshero13]

from what I saw in the Gordon v Hepburn game it seemed the umpiring was in favour of Hepburn all day. Also that last decision was just harsh winard should have had the shot from where he took the mark at the least. Poor decision by that umpire I hope his happy with himself.

The same with our game I feel the decision against Kitch was uncalled for and Locandro costing us the two minutes also contributed to our loss. Hopefully we have a fair game if we see them next time.

[matho44]

does anyone know if there were talent scouts on the weekend?

[gothelakers]

does anyone know if there were talent scouts on the weekend?

why do u ask that?? who would they have been watching matho??

[backup]

if some of you guys think you are that good, you are kidding yourself. If your really that good you wouldn't be playing in the under 18's you'd be playing in the seniors

[Bigburra]

if some of you guys think you are that good, you are kidding yourself. If your really that good you wouldn't be playing in the under 18's you'd be playing in the seniors
Why? Are you 'good'?

I'm literate. You, you are not.:D

you cant blame the umpiring for a loss, a good team wins wether the umpiring is good or bad. kitch even admitted himself it was a free kick

[matho44]

Chris Maple come and saw a few finals games last year. This tempted him to offer Joel Riske a tryout at Rebels. Joel hadn't play a game in Seniors

A few players on the radar may have been Joel Mahar, Jackson Murphy, Gunnells etc. There is quality players in our league, just dont get enough credit they deserve

[beaufortboy223]

was with locandro today, his fine. milked it a bit ;)

i dont think ya tellin the truth their matho he didnt look to fine when he was coming off

[footy rilz]

Well i agree mate it is hard to believe that he is fine because he really did look bad when he went off. And he went straight to hospital so that raises a few questions. So im not doubting that he will play in grand final but i would have thought that he might be a bit sore

[learmonth31]

lol funny that i seem to be bagged alot things such as put my head over the ball then smart little comments such as he never has his whole life???? so who wrote that im guessin have been playin for 12 years now and must of played for sebas the whole time to of seen me play my whole life either that or they are that sad they cant get a game themselves so they watch others or i must have a stalker gee wiz im flattered the funny thing is yea maybe i need to shut my mouth sometimes maybe i get into a few scuffles but i dont deny it and dont brag about myself and dont think im that good but i suppose i have to bag ppl out over the internet to be a good footy player

[learmonth31]

just another thing i see bomber boys u seem to do alot of baggin players and stuff doubt you are say, miller, mcvitty, boma, kitch, u know any of the good players? dare say u are fair shit and need to concentrate more on your footy and less on a keyboard yea? my tip is grab a footy since u live 500metres away from the oval and practice kickin the ball in the air and marking it then go back and learn to kick straight cos you are a very shocking shot at goal if you are who i think you are anyway take my advice it could help you:D

[Bunnieshero13]

Rumour is that the umpire who made the final decision in the Gordon v Hepburn game was sacked or suspended as he has been suspected of 'cheating' before. Can anyone clarify?

[goodesy]

just thought i ask who u boys think is the best kickers and markers in the under 18s this year?

best kick- patty webb
best mark- luke gunnel??

[matho44]

he was fine the next day is what i was saying

[fatality666]

best mark in the lauge possibly nick locandro.. dont like to say it cause he gives a fair share of lip on the field but he took a massive screamer in our first game against us (bunnies) and is always pretty good for a pack mark. Luke gunnel is also very handy in a pack as is no 3 for hepburn not sure of his name

[learmonth31]

very true locandro took about three screamers against us in round two this year was alot more quiet the second time round though both gunnels are very handy as is hallum one person overlooked as a contested mark would be joel maher although he's short he can get up a mile:thumbsu:

[learmonth31]

hey does anyone have any ideas on the best club umpires this year? as in fair to both teams? i'd say probably dunstowns, beauforts and creswick or learmonth.

[footy rilz]

Na i dont really have much to say about the umpires. The Hepburn one was biased but other than that i think that they were all quite good

[Ermie]

Hepburn is in the hunt!

[theroy]

Na i dont really have much to say about the umpires. The Hepburn one was biased but other than that i think that they were all quite good
our umpire isnt biased towards us, we no the way he umpires so we dont argue or back chat to him, he has given frees for that early on in the year.
but i think that the springbank umpire was very good

[gothelakers]

hey does anyone have any ideas on the best club umpires this year? as in fair to both teams? i'd say probably dunstowns, beauforts and creswick or learmonth.

i'd say that beaufort's umpire was a dead set wanka... an example for him giving a free kick was that "oh that beaufort player play's under 15's". who gives a shi*t. if their playing under 18's they should be treated the same and its up to the other players of the 18s to protect their under 15's who play for them... he also got lewis baker a runners-up award in the league best and fairest which he no way near deserved.. he's also produced a wanka of a son to....

[footy rilz]

Sorry i dont agree with you there mate, i thought he was a cheat and everyone else seems to agree

[matho44]

Enough about the umpires lads
They volunteer there time so we can play footy, so we should be grateful instead of paying them out (But i must admit also there some shockers)

Bunnies Vs Hepburn, really looking forward to watch this one

[learmonth31]

haha ok then well ithought in general play he was fair although he carded me because one of our players kicked a goal from about 60 and i saig awww friggen hell and he said your off mate

[learmonth31]

yea i wasn payin them out it would a bit rich of me considering my dad umpired 40 games this year through the age groups

[bomber boys]

i'd say that beaufort's umpire was a dead set wanka... an example for him giving a free kick was that "oh that beaufort player play's under 15's". who gives a shi*t. if their playing under 18's they should be treated the same and its up to the other players of the 18s to protect their under 15's who play for them... he also got lewis baker a runners-up award in the league best and fairest which he no way near deserved.. he's also produced a wanka of a son to....

i cant agree anymore with ya there m8 when we played them grady thorne tackled a block it was fair and he gave beaufort a free kick his excuse was grady was being to rough

[footy rilz]

Bunnies Vs Hepburn, really looking forward to watch this one

Couldn't agree more mate we should be talking about the great game this weekend not the umpires lol. So the game should b really good to watch and hopefully very high scoreing. My tip is buninyong by about 2 goals like last time, its hard to go against them the way they took it up to bunga last week. Who is everyone else picking and what advantage do they have over the other side?

[learmonth31]

hmmm well i'd say hepburn will struggle to man up on buninyong in their forward line davies is a great leading mark although his accuracy lets him down just a tad hepburns full back relies too much on the ball going to the goalsquare and taking his man out behind play which wont benefit against davies and hepburn as good as their midfield is are more of a small quick goalsneaking centreline and miller and boma are much stronger and just as quick and skilled and in the wet im goin to say the score line will look something like this buninyong 8.5.53 to hepburn 7.2.44:thumbsu:

[matho44]

heres my 2 bob anyway

Hepburn Vs Bunnies

Last game bunnies had that little bit extra run in them to get them over line by 7 points. i am tipping the margin to be around the same, hard to see the result going over 20 points. Bunnies really took it up to us because they play the same style, run and carry through the middle, lots of handballs etc. The Bunnies midfield is first class. Miller MUST BE TAGGED, no ifs buts whatsoever. His there danger man. Expect big games from Kitch (played well last time they met), Boma (In very good form) and Glibert (Will take there best forward, should do well). Wildcards for Bunnies would be McVitty (loves to sit out the back, very good at kicking play out of defence) and Rigby (Quality first year player, will go hard).

on the Hepburn side, there strength over Bunnies will be height, having some lads way over 6 foot that are quite solid to. If these fellas can dominate, will help massively as Bunnies dont have any real tall players.
Hepburn players always tackle hard and go hard, which will help them in pack situations. Expect big games from Knights (Hard player, quality delivery) Cimera (Always dangerous). Wildcard could be Jimmy Rodgers, depending if they play 15s or not, should always be amongst it

Tip - Bunnies by 12 points

[learmonth31]

yea spot on although i've seen first hand hepburn lose their heads just a bit when they are bein beaten well most clubs do but i sense it a bit more with them

[bungareepremiers06]

Buninyong Vs Hepburn
Great clash when these two sides met a fortnight ago and expect more of the same at Dunnstown tomorrow.
Buninyong are coming off a spirited performance against Bungaree and will deserve favouritism against the Burra.
After trailing all day against Gordon, Hepburn rallied to avoid thier third consecutive straight sets dismissal, winning after the siren by 5 points
With the exception of Gordon's annihilation of Creswick, this finals series has provided the most thrilling and tense games us on the sidelines could hope for with 3 of the 4 games being decided by 8 points or less. I think this will fall under that category again, with another gutsy performance from both sides.
Buninyong will rely on their midfield and across the flank strength to provide them with the sufficient forward 50 entries to win them the match. Brundell and Graham both proved they can kick goals when required last week and will once again need to step up to the plate. Brendan Davies was sent back to reality last week with a absolute smashing from Pat O' Donohue and will be looking to redeem himself. Buninyong's key to winning will rely across the backline and whether they can hold Hepburn's forward speed at bay.
Since there narrow loss to Buninyong, Hepburn showed a bit of old fashioned guts and determination to come back from the dead against an inform Gordon last week. Notable in's since the qualifying final in week 1 are Kieran frost and Liam O'Halloran (pending a fitness test??)
The run and carry clearly troubled both Gordon and Buninyong so far this finals series and it will be interesting to see if Buninyong has found a way to counter it.
Hepburn will be looking for a lift in Alec Cimera who has been found out against the good sides so far this year. Also, Sam Conroy will need a bigger impact around the ground as a target for Hepburn to get home.
I think Buninyong might be a week ahead of themselves and thinking about beating Bungaree before they get there, and hence am tipping Hepburn in another high scoring shootout.
Hepburn by 4 points

I think ya kiddin ya self ther mate theres no way buninyong would be getting ahead of themselves when they only beat them by 7 or 8 points last time, they d know that there in for a hard day. Last time they played their ruckman got on top so i think they should try and tag him. Also i dont think Davies got smashed last week at all he pushed up the ground a bit and made space which meant that they could find other avenues to goal.

[gothelakers]

kitch, u must be looking forward to redeem yourself tomorrow after costing buninyong the chance to beat bunga last week?

[beaufortboy223]

kitch, u must be looking forward to redeem yourself tomorrow after costing buninyong the chance to beat bunga last week?

this isnt kitch mate, but i agree with what your saying costin ya team a final cant be a good feeling

[Magpies696]

hey does anyone have any ideas on the best club umpires this year? as in fair to both teams? i'd say probably dunstowns, beauforts and creswick or learmonth.
You would hate all of them because u got sent off about every match with your big Mouth.
The Learmonth ump was the worst on

[bomber boys]

this isnt kitch mate, but i agree with what your saying costin ya team a final cant be a good feeling

hey shut ya mouth dont go blaming kitch for us losing it wanst his fault one tackle thats all it was the whole team really. each quater it was like we waited for bunga to kick a goal before we would really do anything about it so ya cant blame him for one tackle. but we will need to get a good start this week if we wanna win hepburn are a classy team will be a tough match to win for both sides cant wait

[gothelakers]

man u buninyong boys are so touchy... u say the slightest thing and your ready to jump down someone's throat.. although i can't blame ya for looking after kitch because god knows he can't look after himself...

[bomber boys]

yea well when its a final like that wouldnt you stick up for ya team mate when someone is saying that they lost the game for ya your team ya not a team m8 if ya let someone get all the blame for the losing the game in which he didnt. i guess your just one of those tosers that plays for a team that everyone hates you and doesnt wanna be your m8. and i bet kitch can look after himself better than you can look after yourself

[bungareepremiers06]

from memory i recall Davies getting 3 disposals (1 kick 2 handballs) for the day. The one shot on goal he had was horrible and on the full i think. Anytime the ball was near him Pod destroyed him imo.
Also, interestingly enough was the reaction Davies had to a bit of sledging from supporters over the fence late in the last quarter when the game was in the balance. Eye witness account says he left his man and began to mouth back over on a forward flank. Just an observation

[footy rilz]

from memory i recall Davies getting 3 disposals (1 kick 2 handballs) for the day. The one shot on goal he had was horrible and on the full i think. Anytime the ball was near him Pod destroyed him imo.

Yeah it wasn't his best game eva but they got that close without him so imagine if they make grand final how dangerous they could be if he fires. Yes i remember that shot it was very costly. And if the crowd stuff is true then he is in trouble tomorrow with hepbun crowd, because i wouldn't expect them to be quiet if its a close game

[amiller11]

all this slagging off of other players for "losing the game" is a tad unnecessary hey? regardless of the fact kitch's free did cost us a goal, it had nothing to do with the end result. the better team on the day won, no single player influenced the results as it was an 18 vs. 18 game, played in good spirits as footy should be played. honourable mention to the gordon boys taking their unfortunate loss last week so well also.

onto another note, on the eve of tomorrows big match i'm expecting a big crowd, as it'll be a tough contest for both sides and a joy to watch. from recent form we (byong) are playing very well and have trained aswell as we have all year. didnt get a real good look at hepburn last week, but being the talented outfit they are we're expecting a good, hard match. :thumbsu:

[amiller11]

and regarding the posts with brendan davies.

he's a very emotional, to say the least, person when it comes to footy. played with him all through my footy years and he hasn't changed a bit. pointless discussing whether his 'passionate antics' will influence his game.
he's either on or off, whichever case it may be we've shown we can back it up if its the latter.

[gotheswans]

does anyone know if there were talent scouts on the weekend?matho is looking for some afl team!

[learmonth31]

You would hate all of them because u got sent off about every match with your big Mouth.
The Learmonth ump was the worst on

haha i admire your courage knowin the only thing between us is a keyboard i know for a fact u wouldn say this to anyones face but if u want ill come see ya because i do know where u live and u can explain it to me in person why u feel that way seriously mate no need for it we are here to talk about footy not bag people so grow up just a tad ok?:mad:

[Big Buddy Love 23]

Just to clear up all this crap about me (davies) thanks to you craig for and accusing me of those comments earlier, it wasnt me and yes my kicking hasnt been all that flash this year due to shoulder and back injuries, but the accuracy has improved, last two games against hepburn I kicked 9 straight.

Bungareepremiers06 yeah I had I quiet one (and I had more of it than you said) but I didnt receive a smashing the ball wasnt coming in as normal due to your teams pressure and I played a majority of the game up the ground out of 'comfort' as u could say, and that shot was from the dead pocket; agianst the wind and it was to the top of the square not out on the full, so get atleast some facts straight.

About this sledging stuff yeah no one likes it (from opposition yeah its a game and you'll always get that) but particularly from supporters. I would like to hear from this eye witness, I never leave my man to begin with (due to them mainly 'playing on me') let alone leave them to go off at most likely some halfwit on the boundary line.

And yeah enough about the umpires sure some of them or ordinary, but as someone stated earlier they are voulenteers – they arnt paid, so their out there doing what no one else is willing to.

brendan mate i really am sorry i jumped to conclusion knowing millers alias just figuring it would of been u considering u are the only other buninyong player who would of seen me and to be honest i wouldn look too much into wat i said considering the fact this is the only year in about 5 i have beaten you in the goalkickin which would be due to the variety of goalkickers u had u are a quality footballer and i hope u kick a bag next week sorry mate!!

[learmonth31]

just on another note friggen well played to buninyong they will be premiers i dont care wat anyone says they are the best team in the league on their game and will beat bungaree next week

[DrWho]

WOO HOO. Go the bunnies!!! Great to see Hepburn knocked out of the race.

That is true they played with guts and jumped Hepburn early it will be close next week on a big ground

[learmonth31]

best on today well and truly bomma thought miller was a tad hard done by considering he was given about 6 free kicks given against him and the hepburn player was the one giving the sneaky little elbows and punches very one sided umpiring which is fair to say considering they are payed umpires not volunteers but footy goes that way feel a tad sorry for only player that looked genuinely shattered was that number 22 from hepburn which from wat ive seen has his heart on his sleeve every week well played mate

yeah umpiring was very inconsistent all day, almost rounded itself off though, umpiring wasn't doing anyone any favours all day. Also, admittedly with as much lip as i was giving, special mention to the hepburn leadership group for coming in after the game. All the boys showed good character with the loss :thumbsu:

yes it was a very good game indeed thats interesting u said boma was well and truly best thought zac graham again played an excellent game but it is very difficult to pick just one or two players i thought everyone played there parts to perfection maybe bar the third quarter where we lapsed a bit.. i wouldnt say 22 was the only player numkber 9 seemed pretty shattered and i guess they may have been prepared for the loss throughout the game as it didnt really hang in the balance for a hell of a time.. it was in great spirit that the boys came in and wished us well next week and it capped off some of the great games we've played against each other this season.

I never elbowed Miller, just stood in front of him. Frustrating stuff lol. Well played Bunningyong jump in the first quarter killed us.

bunga to be premiers but will be a lot closer than what i would have though a few weeks ago with buninyong playing good footy in the first half on the week end... best on ground joel duggan with jackson murphy to be their main avenue to goal.. for buninyong a smokey could be tim mitchell i think his name is or boma.. their goals to come from kitchen..

Well bungaree for premiers but only just. I just looked back at the goal kickers for the last 2 times that they have met and no one for either side has kicked more than 3 goals in either match which is a good sign for both sides defences. But if anyone will kick more than that it would be jackson murphy and it will be interesting to see who buninyong play on him. For best players watch lacandro, mahar for bungaree and boma, miller for buninyong

[matho44]

Anyone know the state of Austar? If its anything like it was a few weeks ago for the VFL shall be a low scoring affair all day for all games :thumbsd:

[fatality666]

set to be another great match up this time. I think buninyong will be too strong for the bunga this time though but hey, i play for them so of course i think that. ill say best on ground to either boma for buninyong or joel mahar. Ill say murphy for leading goalkicker but theres a handful of blokes who could easily take the honour..

i wouldnt see why anything would change as in who plays on murphy to much as he's been restricted reasonably well in both games we've played against them. id be expecting another great performance by mark tannis this weekend.

[Ermie]

word on street that mark gunnell keen for a session with locandro after sat granny? any truth to these rumors?

[matho44]

session?

[theroy]

i think that bunga will win by a bit, after there last game i think that they would have woken up and will come out hard and win. but i would like to see them lose, they have won it too many times.

[shooter243]

premiers cant go past bungaree... they are the geelong of chfl right now.
i think unfortunately a few of the bunga boys might have 2 grandfinal losses in 2 years (mt clear boys).

like any game, this will be won in the midfield and who can get the quick supply to the key forwards in murphy and davies for each side. i like bungaree in the clearance area they are very efficient in the guts and seem to have a vast spread of players to do the job in there. expect the locandro to mahar combination to fire and then the runners in duggan and webb to be well fed from this.

the key for bungaree: big game from matheson providing a big option in the forward line and someone dangerous on mcvitty so he has to play on a man and not zone off. along with this someone willing to sacrifice their game and play on kitchen who loves to run forward in anticipation of the clearance. you cant cheat on grandfinal day kitchen. :D

the key for bunninyong: everyone expects the big names to give something from bunninyong sothe 2nd and 3rd tier players providing big games. only way i can see them getting up is a big team effort.

BOG: joel duggan. and dont be suprised if bomatali gets it either.
goal kickers: murphy to kick 4 or 5 with the open spaces and the boys to give him one on one contests. expect a few crumbing goals from patty webb also.

[millm103]

just on another note friggen well played to buninyong they will be premiers i dont care wat anyone says they are the best team in the league on their game and will beat bungaree next week
righto mate, im sure bungeree will come out and dominate the whole game like they have all season, very rare for a team to go undefeated and that they beat buninyoung twice during the year and u think they will lose? considering 3/4 of the players have played and won a grand final and buninyoung i dont think have got a palyer that has played finals before. i think only 3 or 4 have played before, maybe u should focus on ur own pre season, maybe gettin up around 8 on the beep

[bungareepremiers06]

2008 CHFL Under 18 Grand Final
Bungaree vs Buninyong
Buninyong's first half was nothing short of impressive last weekend and come into the grand final in the best form they have had all year.
Bungaree have travelled 18 games without a loss in 2008 and with only one loss in 3 seasons look set to create history with four in a row, however not without stiff opposition from Buninyong.
Bungaree's two smallest wins of the year, to the tune of 4 points and 7 points were both at the hands of Buninyong proving that they really are the second best side.
The bunga boys will no doubt go in confident however in thier minds they are yet to put in a good performance against Buninyong in 2008 and could affect thier game come saturday.
Bungaree
Strengths/Keys
With the league's premier forward in Jackson Murphy as well as a lethal midfield with standout depth, Buninyong will have thier work cut out for them. A game of straight kicking from Murphy will be crucial to thier success as will the goal scoring abilities of the rotating midfielders in Mahar, Webb and Duggan. The usually solid half-back of Ryan, Forbes and Trigg will be disappointed with thier performance two weeks ago and look to shut down the 2nd tier forwards of Buninyong which will go a long way to sealing victory.

Buninyong
Strengths/Keys
The major strength of Buninyong is thier evenness across the forward line and wide range of goal scoring players. The depth across the forward line could trouble Bungaree's smaller defenders should large amounts of football be played in the Buninyong forward 50. Alex Miller proved crucial in winning the clearances in the previous 3 finals and will need another big game to give his side the best possible chance.
Zac Graham also has proved instrumental for Buninyong in the last two games and will need to produce another stellar performance to see the bunnies home.
Davies will be unable to sit in the goal square against Bungaree so will need to produce a good game further up the ground to play his part in a victory if he is to have any impact on the game.
The most crucial match up of the game for mine is between Nick Locandro and Tim Mitchell. Locandro was best on ground in the last meeting of these two sides and Mitchell will have to not only negate him in the ruck but around the grounds.

Should be another close one but i think Bungaree's forward options should be enough to get them 4 in a row
Bungaree by 8 points
BOG-Joel Duggan

just a heads up about our 'lack of finals experience' mate.
we have atleast 9 + players who have played finals before. being myself, mcvitty, boma, tanis, grady, gilbo, brent, davies and troy powell. if not more.
and on that note, all 9 have played in a grand final before. we're not short of experience at all.
7 of those 9 players including myself were apart of the losing grand final side last year and the apetite for redemption is pretty high.
anddd with the other 13 players without the experience, it'll prove as a positive more so than a negative as the hunger will be their with our 'second tier' players who i know want this flag more than anything.
this just gives them another reason to step up this week, which i believe they will.

another thing, having played with craig for a good 3 or 4 years, he trains extremely hard for a big bloke and funnily enough does have a pretty good engine when he wants to use it. :thumbsu: just another correction for ya

to finish on a lighter note, grand final should be a ripper. cant wait!

[learmonth31]

oh yeh tats right coz ur pre season started 3 weeks ago? why in hell would u do a beep test now mate? clearly ur got no common sense. like in previous cases. u played for sebas then u moved to learmonth, great common sense

actually mate the beep test wasn for footy and i dont see the harm in startin a pre season now because clearly i wasn at my optimum this season quite far from it but it comes from injury not laziness so i know i need to put in a big effort and with the target ive set for next year i wont be able to get there if i start in january or even december and the learmonth football club is the best club ive been involved with and they look after the players and every move has its pro's and con's as i feel that playin for a team who has won 10 games in the past 4 years and finishing 4th from the bottom being their best turn out and being forced to play with at least 5 under 18's each week as opposed to a club who have won 59 games in the same time and are only getting stronger and stronger each season you talk so much about common sense honestly mate you need to grow up a bit because your just making yourself look like a fool baggin people out when this site is purely for talking about footy and im quite sure i speak for everyone when i say that it is just stupid bagging people out if you wanna make someone look stupid how bout you work on your footy and humiliate them on the footy field instead

just something to think about:D

[Bunnieshero13]

just like to say good luck to our boys and may the best side win. Should be a good one.

well played to bunga!

[benson_]

In what was another disgusting game to watch no thanks to the chfl standard but playerwise joel maher and joel duggen was the highlight for me two very good quality players who go in hard for the ball but also have very good skills.

well done to bungaree apparntly it was there 4th in a row very good effort!

[fatality666]

good effort to bungaree proved they very much are the better team despite terrible accuracy! thought jackson murphy deffinately didnt deserve bog joel mahar was a deffinite standout and dominated us
