EDFL magoos

[goal sneak]

I know you guys probably don't give a shit about 2's footy but their is a fair chance i will be spending a bit of time in there this season so was just wondering who people thought would have strong reserves teams.

[longworrytheonlywaytogo]

longworry usally has a strong seconds team

[goodie]

cora lyn probably will again to.

[bigpapagman]

i may also.


cora lynn should win it.

[Pluggeroo]

We should be ok again.

We won 10 last year and would hope for the same again this year.

Maybe a couple more and a finals berth.

[bigpapagman]

did you guys win 10 last year?

shit. thats alright.


good work.

[Pluggeroo]

did you guys win 10 last year?

shit. thats alright.


good work.

Yeah we won 10.

We finished 7th and that was correct under the circumstances.

We beat everyone below us and lost to everyone above us. Finished where we should have.

To win 10 this year would be a great result as our draw is a bit harder this year.

So here's hoping.

[saint leo]

Nyora should be up there again. Was a huge gap between the top 6 and the rest last year.
Cora lynn would have to be favourites, Nyora, Catani, Longwarry, Langy and Buln will be up there too. Cant see any one out of the 6 from last year improving enough to make finals.

[bigpapagman]

i reckon buln could be the sleepers.

have a fair few older blokes stepping back this year.

[goal sneak]

Lang Lang should have a good side. Once again led by Mark "Dragon" Hunter in the middle.

[bigpapagman]

who coaches your twos?

[goal sneak]

Jeff Campbell

[bigpapagman]

is he reputable?

or just some shit ****.

[goal sneak]

Yeah was a good player in his day. Still runs around in the 2s now.

[bigpapagman]

are you serious about maybe having to play a little bit down this year?

[goal sneak]

Yeah we have a pretty good side. Will be pretty competitive for spots. Haven't really lost anyone, picked up a couple plus there are a few from last years thirds who will be pushing.

Hopefully i don't have to play 2's but who knows?

[bigpapagman]

would be dissappointing and an incorrect move by the club IMHO.

[goal sneak]

thanks for the vote of confidence.

[bigpapagman]

no worries, you guys should be playing the good kids when possible.

[goal sneak]

Thought it would be a good time to give this a bump. Nar Nar Goon and Cora Lynn are undefeated. Lang Lang has been travelling okay too only dropping the 1 match to Cora Lynn.

[scottie pippen]

cant really comment on many other sides but cora lynn have good depth and with the seniors still with 3 walk up start player to come back in it will obviously improve the 2's outfit.

[bigpapagman]

yuck.

[scottie pippen]

yuck.

yep it's looking that way for your side.....chin up

[bigpapagman]

as good as your 2nds side is, i think it could be a whole lot better.

if your FF wasnt such a hog & forced the side to be so one dimensional, i think you would kick a lot more goals. even the guy i was playing on in the last quarter. (No. 30) said that the FF was a shit bloke & has a crack @ the mids if they dont kick it to him. And he doesnt handball either.

[bigpapagman]

yep it's looking that way for your side.....chin up


i cant wait for you guys to fall over.


be it this season, next season, whenever.

it will be hilarious.

we'll have to make an MPNFL board so all you blokes can still go on here & pump up your respective clubs.

[scottie pippen]

every football club has it's highs and lows. Im merely coming onto these forums supporting my side as most of you do.

If we fall over we fall over it's a part of footy but im pretty sure we won't fall as low as you have......and become UNcompetitive

[bigpapagman]

what? darnum? we're on the way back up. still competetive.

the dusties IMHO are beyond repair.

[scottie pippen]

what? darnum? we're on the way back up. still competetive.

yeah suppose your only 20 goals off the best side in the comp...

on the way back up:thumbsd:

[goodie]

as compared to being 35 goals off like we 2 years ago.

good call champ.

[scottie pippen]

as compared to being 35 goals off like we 2 years ago.

good call champ.


you may as well be 35 goals off your still an average football side who has way too many passengers and not enough players who put their head over the ball CHAMP

[goal sneak]

Top post Pippen. 1 win from 7 games says it all.

[goodie]

i know what you guys are saying we are still losing etc but what i mean is we have gotten better than what we were 2 odd years ago.

or cant you see that?

[Stamp]

couldnt of gotten much worse than two years ago could yous?

[goal sneak]

Cora Lynn and Nar Nar Goon undefeated after 7 rounds. Catani lost 1. Lang lang and Nyora have dropped 2.

[saint leo]

Cora Lynn then daylight in the 2's. NNG, LL, Catani and Nyora will all make finals. NOt sure who the 6th team will be, maybe longwarry.

[goodie]

couldnt of gotten much worse than two years ago could yous?
near on impossible, thats what im saying.

now>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>then.

[goal sneak]

Chair Sniffer Troy Buswell >>>>>>>>> Nilma Now >>>>>>>>> Nilma Then

[goodie]

agreed.

[bigpapagman]

i'll support that as well.

[bigpapagman]

nilma darnum 2nds had another nailbiting win on the weekend, led by Matthew "Buddy" Gooden booting 4.6 from full forward in a dominant display.

somehow his opponent got best on ground, maybe because he was always near the ball, or because he held such a great player to so few oppurtunities.
:confused:

[Pluggeroo]

Longwarry did us a favour yesterday, beating Ellinbank in the reserves to keep us both on 5 wins and giving us a real chance to play finals for the first time in 13 years.

Carn the Darnos.

[The Reverend]

be wary of the dusties, got up for the first win on the week end!
if they win their next 8 could challenge for finals.its all about momentum

be wary of nyora this week, rumors of a family reunion against warragul, talk of a dad abd his two sins lining up for the saints, could get a little loose.

[The Reverend]

So Dusties and Nyora should be wary of each other???

As bigpapa said it was our 2nd win. Good to see 4 teams at the bottom of the 2nds ladder on 2 wins each. Means that there isn't 1 team that's the whipping boy for everybody else and upsets can occur depending on injuries, availability, etc.

Why not just edit your original post?

[bigpapagman]

yeah i know....


and only one lezzo snog in the spa as well.


and it was the fat black chick.

[The Reverend]

Why not just edit your original post?

didnt no i could

[goal sneak]

Langy magoos got upset by Poowong on the weekend.

[saint leo]

And Poowong lost to dusties the week before! whats going on there??

[goal sneak]

Don't know saint leo. Our twos had 3 blokes coming back from the ones as well.

Poowong were not too bad though. Shannon Logan played 2s for them. What is goin on there?

[saint leo]

He has been playing 2's all year i think, he played 2's against us. Did Jess Attenborough play 2's as well?

I didnt think Poowong were that bad, think its more of an upset them losing to dusties the week before.

[bigpapagman]

He has been playing 2's all year i think, he played 2's against us. Did Jess Attenborough play 2's as well?

I didnt think Poowong were that bad, think its more of an upset them losing to dusties the week before.
wtf is jess doing playing twos?

?????

[goal sneak]

Yeah Jess and Glenn Attenborough both played 2's. Why are these guys in the 2's?

[saint leo]

Glenn has played 2's all year i think. It was Jess's first game for the season, still would have thought he would be good enough to go straight into the ones.

[bigpapagman]

well you would assume he will next week.

[Axe Man]

Don't know saint leo. Our twos had 3 blokes coming back from the ones as well.

Poowong were not too bad though. Shannon Logan played 2s for them. What is goin on there?

I heard that he doesn't get on with Anthony and therefore refuses to play seniors.

I can't for a minute understand how Poowong knocked off Langy after we bet them last week. Although we had one of our better sides in for the year they must have had an off game against us and an awesome game against Langy who we would be lucky to get within 10 goals of.

[bigpapagman]

langy beat us by 10 goals & we should beat you pretty comprehensively.

just a bit of insight, is all. :D

[Axe Man]

Depends on which form you want to take notice of.

Poowong bet you, we bet Poowong, so therefore we will beat you.:p

Or Nyora bet you by 1 point, us by 10 goals, so you will beat us by 10 goals?

Yeah you should beat us but Poowong should have beaten us as well. I reckon you should take the game lightly and see what happens.:D

[goodie]

axe man havent seen you at the pub in like a month

WTF

[bigpapagman]

oh it will be hilarious either way.

[Axe Man]

axe man havent seen you at the pub in like a month

WTF

Well I don't do the sporty, so ya have to be at the Commercial to catch me.
Last week - we had the awards at the O & H - had tea and a few pots and went home about 10:30 or so
2 weeks ago - was out at the Commercial all night
3 weeks ago - was in Adelaide
4 weeks ago - can't remember

[Budda 230]

When do the Darnos and Dusties play again?

I'm trying to get myself up to help the Dusties for a late finals dash!:cool:

[Pluggeroo]

Next Saturday week. Good luck with that, Budda.

[bigpapagman]

yeah. about that.

[The Reverend]

should be the match of the round at NNG this week if Nyora gets up in the twos then they will be equal 2nd. is NNG goon close to CL?

[bigpapagman]

nah.

[goal sneak]

In the magoos
Cora Lynn >>>>> Daylight >>>> The Rest

[bigpapagman]

yeah i'll pay that.

[speedytiger]

Looked to be a similar story last year too. Didn't quite get the chockies though

[bigpapagman]

i cant see anyone beating them this year.

[In And Under Tiger]

Langy scoobies are a big chance to go all the way.

[lucifer1]

Langy scoobies are a big chance to go all the way.

If the seniors bomb out can any decent players be dropped back to play twos. I think its up 10 senior games, anymore and you cant go back.

[In And Under Tiger]

Not really any that can go back i don't think lucifer. if we have a full strength seniors i think the twos would be better off if we stayed in the finals series.

what is the deal with the qualifications? If someone had played say 7 seniors games and 1 reserves would they be eligible to play reserves finals?

[saint leo]

I think they would have to play 4 reserves games to play finals if the seniors are not playing on the same weekend. If someone has played 4 twos and 9 ones they can play twos but 4 and 10 they cant.

[Stanley da Russian]

Sneak as far as i know you only need to play 4 club games as long as you haven't played 10 or over senior games you are qualified for the magoos. You actually have to play 4 club games to qualify to play senior finals which i find even more strange. If you were coming back from injury in rd.16 you couldn't qualify to play finals, how stupid is that! All that does is encourage players to come back from serious injuries to soon.

[Stanley da Russian]

i cant see anyone beating them this year.

I wouldn't be so sure papa. I don't get to see a lot of the two's because of work (usually the 2nd half) but on paper NNG have a lot of good senior footballers running around in the two's at the moment and on there day will be very competitive i would've thought. Cora Lynn have a history of falling over at the last hurdle. I think NNG, Langy and Catani would all be a chance on there day.

[In And Under Tiger]

Yeah I guess that rule would be in place to stop clubs from getting someone a week or two before finals. Would also be in place to stop someone like a Brett Dore from coming back and playing finals after Frankston missed out.

There should probably be a minimum number of 2s games that you have to play to qualify. Otherwise guys that have been injured and are no-where near reserves level are able to play and have a massive influence on the finals. If the rule is as you say Stanley I am pretty sure that John Thwaites and Clint Fultn would be able to play reserves finals if the seniors were knocked out. Does not really seem right.

[saint leo]

Read my post stalney, have to play at least 4 twos games and no more than 9 senior games unless both sides are on same weekend. Any thirds players can also come up and play reserves or senior finals as well.

[Pluggeroo]

Its interesting and something we certainly discussed after about round 12. We actually called someone in authority at League headquarters, and also refered to the VCFL handbook and it states, pretty much, this:

To be eligible for reserves finals, a player may play no more than half a season, plus 1 game in the senior grade. The same player must also play at least 4 reserves games to qualify.

So in general terms, for the EDFL, the player may play 9 games (half of 18), plus 1 more in the seniors. Any more than that, and they are out of qualification. That equates to no more than 10 games in the seniors and at least 4 in the reserves to qualify.

We have worked it out to get a boost of about 6 players from the senior 21. So, I guess, 6 will miss out at the bottom end, should we qualify for the finals, and notwithstanding injuries.

[bigpapagman]

and we have qualified thanks to a fantastic victory over Nyora on the weekend.

we were just a far better wet weather side.

[In And Under Tiger]

I think the 5 other sides in the top 6, including Nyora would be thanking you for having that win. Means that Poowong cannot make it.

[bigpapagman]

correct.

maybe nyora were tanking.


but probably not.

[saint leo]

You blokes played well although we had about 8 out, hope to get them all back for finals. Surely the league has to look at changing the final from darnum, cant see that ground coming up in 2 weeks for a final.

[EDFL follower]

Can't see the league changing grounds now. Remember the Nyora Dusties final at Poowong a few years ago. Surely Darnum would be no where near as bad as Poowong was that year.

[Stanley da Russian]

Maybe they should hold it Ellinbank then, from what i heard on the weekend there facilities and ground are in great condition....

[EDFL follower]

Think a few grounds are in ordinary condition at the moment. Warragul must be ordinary. Supposedly the 2 best sides in Gippsland played there Saturday and kicked 4 goals each.

[saint leo]

[/b]

Yeah that was a disgrace, darnum at the end was almost as bad. Its embarasing for the league to have finals on mud heaps. The prelim at darnum about 4 years ago was the same, i think buln beat ellinbank and it was about 5 goals to 2.

[In And Under Tiger]

[/b]

Can't see the league changing grounds now. Remember the Nyora Dusties final at Poowong a few years ago. Surely Darnum would be no where near as bad as Poowong was that year.

Yeah I played a junior final there the morning of that match. Ground was absolutely terrible. I remember being ankle deep in mud.

[Next Of Kin]

Cora lynn only had 12 players on the weekend and that is why they lost to Poowong. They will still win the flag.

[bigpapagman]

i thought there might have been some other reason as to why they probably lost.

[Saint]

Do you mean win the flag in the 2s? If they've only got 12 now, how are they going to get an extra 10 players for finals?

I understand they must have injuries, but 12 is not much more than Warragul had.

[gippslander]

[quote=Next Of Kin;11946384]Cora lynn only had 12 players on the weekend and that is why they lost to Poowong. They will still win the flag.[/quote
pretty sure they had 18 on the ground

[The Reverend]

correct.

maybe nyora were tanking.


but probably not.

shy would nyora tank?they have smashed poowong twice this year it would be better if they got in

[bigpapagman]

i dunno?


just sayin'

[goal sneak]

Really looking forward to the Lang Lang - Nilma Darnum clash this saturday. Langy were very impressive yesterday against Neerim.

[bigpapagman]

you'll probably be playing.....

[goal sneak]

Started on the bench last week and there are 2 guys that will probably come back into the senior side this week so you may be right.

[bigpapagman]

man i would love that.

[Stanley da Russian]

Started on the bench last week and there are 2 guys that will probably come back into the senior side this week so you may be right.

Told ya, you were lucky to get a game this week is what i heard.

[goal sneak]

Would love to know where you get all your information from Stanley. i reckon you just make it all up.
