Top 6 2008

[lucifer1]

What will the top 6 look like at the end of the year - in order.
We can look back in six months and see how close we all got
Goal Sneak you can be as biased as you want towards Langy now because it may come back to bite you at the end of the year.

My top 6

Cora Lynn
Nyora
Catani
Poowong
Lang Lang
Nar Nar Goon.

The Goon and Poowong could suprise and finish higher.

[bigdukes]

Catani
Cora Lynn
Lang Lang
Nyora
Nar Nar Goon

Sixth spot to be between Poowong, Nilma Darnum, Bunyip.

[goal sneak]

Here is my predictions without bias.

Lang Lang
Cora Lynn
Nyora
Catani
Poowong
Longwarry

[bigpapagman]

CORA LYNN
NYORA
LANG LANG
CATANI
POOWONG
NAR NAR GOON / NILMA DARNUM


longwarry & bunyip wont make it.

[gulbandit]

stop kidding yourself goal sneak, langy wont finish top three, but should sneak in the 6, who's going to kick 100+ at langy, maybe if you breed two more kurt batts and a gun full forward, batt by the way being far better than brown, you sure you haven't been getting on that rat sack with those other langy boys?

[bigpapagman]

so those guys are going to kick 13 goals a game between them.

on your dumplard ground?

[bigpapagman]

every week.

[goal sneak]

No they will average 13. Will probably be closer to the 20 mark against the likes of Warragul.

[Saint]

Nyora
Catani
Cora Lynn
Poowong
Nar Nar Goon
Bunyip

Big fall for Bunyip, which I'm not so sure about. Haven't looked at the draw at all, which could play a big factor.

[bigpapagman]

No they will average 13. Will probably be closer to the 20 mark against the likes of Warragul.


only 20?

[bigpapagman]

Nyora
Catani
Cora Lynn
Poowong
Nar Nar Goon
Bunyip

Big fall for Bunyip, which I'm not so sure about. Haven't looked at the draw at all, which could play a big factor.

i dont think they will even make the finals.

[archer]

CL
Nyora
Poo
Catani
LL
NNG


Bunyip (missing Ablett, Mumford, Allen), Longwarry (minus Donaldson, also is Tye going to Warragul?)


Dusties for the spoon again

[bigpapagman]

longwarry still yet to pick up the focal point that they so desperately need.

[bigpapagman]

could be, im not sure.

[torp]

nyora
cora Lynn

Why dont you think Cora Lynn can finish top 2 bigbad?

Also, you are rating Bunyip which a lot of others arent. Do you know something or are you a player or supporter there?

[saint leo]

he is a darnum man, geez lucifer its just peoples opinons, ya dont have to argue with everyone.

haha i thought you'd like that one lucifer,
but what is the point of asking everyones opinion on the matter if you just expect everyone to say the same thing?
let's wait until september before you tell me i'm dreaming!

[bigbadmal]

Why dont you think Cora Lynn can finish top 2 bigbad?

I think CL are a great chance to finish top 2 Lucifer but they dont have enough home grown talent to win a flag like Nyora and Catani. I wouldnt be surprised if they go through the season undefeated and come undone in the finals. On paper they should be the best side in the competition but i would be happy to take bets on them for the flag.

[goal sneak]

Give me odds of $3

[bigbadmal]

Give me odds of $3

I will gladly give you those odds about CL Goalsneak. I would lay them at those odds until the cows come home. Would you like a bit on LL also? Im guessing if you are a uni student you wont be having much on.

[goal sneak]

Yeah not rolling in it. $200 would be my limit i reckon. If you give me $3 on Cora Lynn and $12 on Lang Lang i will put $100 on each. Not much of a dent on a wealthy man like yourself.

[bigbadmal]

If you give me $3 on Cora Lynn and $12 on Lang Lang i will put $100 on each.

Contact me via private message Goalsneak and i will see what i can do.

Lang Lang at $12 is the better bet of the two i reckon. Might be a year too early with that one maybe.

[lucifer1]

he is a darnum man, geez lucifer its just peoples opinons, ya dont have to argue with everyone.


Not arguing mate, just interested in thoughts behind everyones opinions etc. It is a forum isnt it, thats what people do - discuss topics!

And i know torp is from NNG, was just stirring him.

You need to chill out i think Saint Leo. You seem a bit tense or worried. Have you been thinking about round 1 coming up?

[Saint]

Is this a joke?

It just all sounds very reminiscent of last year's tips about Nilma Darnum from you, Goal Sneak, it doesn't take much for any teams' season to fall apart.

Nar Nar Goon had a great young side last year, with some good footballers coming through, but it's a long season of long quarters, which probably got to them in the end. Appear to have some good pick ups on paper and are my tip for biggest improver. Whether that gets them into the finals or just miss is up in the air.

[Pluggeroo]

The Nilma Darnum stuff from last year was based on the fact we had a pretty good draw and the expectation was that we would win 6-8 games and at the end of the year, we had won 6 and had a draw.

A bit more of the unknown this year as our draw is a fair bit harder, yet our recruits seem to be much better than last year. Hard to say where we will finish this year.

In keeping with the fact that this is a discussion board, I would like to say one thing.

I reckon all those above that have put Lang Lang in their final 6 are actually starting to believe everything that they read from goalsneak.

Stick with the things you know.

1. Nyora and Catani will be there.
2. Cora Lynn have recruited well enough to be certainties.
3. According to the vcfl EDFL transfers page, Bunyip have lost a couple but will still be thereabouts as of today. Ryan Ablett isnt there, but the others are still listed there.
4. Poowong are still a good side worthy to be in there too.
5. Longwarry have lost their gun, but what I noticed whilst he was kicking 16 against us is that the delivery to Dono was spectacular. Any half reasonable footballer will kick goals in that side on the end of that delivery.
6. Nar Nar Goon were very good for the first 9 rounds and it appeared their kids got tired as the year wore on.
7. Lang Lang were ok, hot and cold. They didnt impress me when we played them and I find it hard to see them improve to become finalists on the back of 1 or three "recruits". From what I saw, they have further to go to be real contenders than a couple of good footballers.
8. Ellinbank can catch any side out on their day.
9. Koowee, Dusties, Buln and NNS will all probably struggle for consistency.

This is all my opinion.

For your sake goalsneak, I hope you can back up all the talk. 1 or 2 injuries can ruin a season.

[Saint]

You don't have that many clearances in to the club, Goal Sneak, how could you have the most depth, when you pick up a fringe player from Poowong and say he's in your senior team.

You're just setting yourself up for a fall.

[bigpapagman]

i will confidently put $1 on Cora Lynn.

[Pluggeroo]

i will confidently put $1 on Cora Lynn.

Then you will get $3 in return if you lay it with Patto.

[bigpapagman]

fantastic.

i can buy 90% of one pot.

[grass roots]

Cora Lynn

Thats it boys mark my words, no more more discussion on this topic needed

[bigpapagman]

[Pluggeroo]

May change after finals

Cora Lynn
Nyora
Poowong
Catani
Nar Nar Goon
Lang Lang

You may well be correct, magician.

And might I also say that it is no coincidence that all those clubs come from the western areas/reaches of the competition. The talent pool is almost endless for those clubs and whilst they also have a wonderful variety of juniors, the scope for grabbing the odd reasonable footballer from the EFL or MPNFL or other such leagues is immeasurable.

A lot harder for the clubs in the eastern reaches of the comp. If those clubs arent competitive enough to push for the finals, then they are going about it all wrong. KWR may be the example at this point in time.

[Themagicman]

Dead right plugger, why would a good player who was chasing some coin or just wanted to play country footy travel to Nilma, Neerim, Warragul or Buln when they could travel much less distance and get the same (or more) cash at Cora Lynn, Goon, Catani or even Nyora and Langy?

[goal sneak]

To be fair i think some of the teams mentioned have done a lot better job turning their junior players into senior footballers and keeping them at the club.
