Ha Ha, you could play PEGS 2nds and still lose.

MGS, 150 years.... hilarious!

Did you know that the aboriginees have been playing a lot longer than that
mate MGS have 17 players that played last year and have brought in about 6 scholarships making up more than a team. i've heard that PEGS will be playing with only 13 of their normal starting line up

the aborigines played agame which involved kicking around a wrapped up possum skin with no rules called Marn Grook, whereas the first game of football had a set of rules and a proper ball with actual goals. Get your facts and spelling straight before you start talking crap.

14 Mar 2008, 22:23

OMG you are such a tool.
And so are all you MGS pretentious wannabes.
Did you also mention you called your football department the Marn Grook club. I know my facts.
And I also know we spanked you when you bought Ellis and Hawkins, paraded them in front of everyone and said you were going to smash us two years ago. We thumped your freak of a team with passion and skill and your coach was in tears. How many premierships have you lost????? You are truly the Collingwood of the APS competition.

Here's a FACT for you buddy.
MGS LOST 8 of the past 20 premierships. Who did they finish 2nd to all those times.....
hawkins was allready at the school and then given a scholarship. Ellis was just some very good recruiting and they were our only two good players that year

back2back4dacat

14 Mar 2008, 22:26

And you will still lose!

If you mostly have players from last year then you are in real trouble.

I played against you in the XC match. McLardy and Shaw got you off to a fair start kicking the first 3 goals and then your goal umpire went quiet for about an hour. I tackled one of your blokes to the ground and he actually cried, I think I broke him.
it shows that more than half of our team have 1sts expericence and with 6 scholarships coming in and a couple already their we should go very close to winning it

15 Mar 2008, 08:49

Rubbish!

You had McLardy, Shaw and Barraclough playing then.
All of Hawkins relatives went to Assumption you tool and you chased him and took him out of a respectable school.

Don't have any more time for your garbage, just live and learn when you get belted by this years crop of Xavs in round 1. I'll be in the crowd laughing my head off at you punks.

ummm... hawkins dad went to MGS:o

There is no problem with talking up your own team, however there is a problem with posters like Couch Potato who cream themselves over their own list and don't have the time of day to acknowledge that other teams also have a good chance of winning the premiership.

PEGS were missing 8 players, MGS missing 7.

Pretty even in terms of players missing.

ALso gotta consider MGS had shaw and keath having just played cricket the previous 2 days in 40 degree heat and having celerated the premiership very hard the previous night. More like MGS missing 9 players.

For the record, Hawkins grandfather is on the honors board at ACK and uncles on his mothers side went there. Could it be that he was enrolled at both but was offered a scholarship at MGS so went there, i wonder?

Schgood name, Peeves!

Doosh

Just thought you might wanna know, Jack Hawkins is CHF in Grammar's team of the century. He has been on the MGS council and was a borders' parents representative throughout Tom's time at MGS. He is MG through andthrough, and TOm was always gonna go to grammar, just like his uncles, dad and cousins. Had a cousin finish yr 12 last year, one is in yr 9 at the moment, and another cousin left MGS a year ago to GGS.

Hawkins family is MGS through and through. I doubt your evidence is correct on hawkins' family at Assumption, for they are a strong ANglican family (including both his fathers and mothers side). Couch Potato, don't start lies.

Just fr the record, the match between MGS and Xavs in 2006 saw carter, shaw and lapin all play as yr tens who are currently in yr 12.

MGS would have won it if it werent for the most disgraceful act in APS football histroy, with a xavier players cleaning up XAv Ellis behind play, taking him out for the game (ellis had had about 30 touches to that point which was barely into the 3rd qtr.)

LOL, no it wasn't Josh Kennedy - he was busy collecting a truckload of stats in the centre. Not sure that anyone in your team actually noticed that he was tearing you to shreds.

Ellis got between the ball and one J.Rush. A foolish thing to do. Funny, most of the crowd were calling out Legend! Strange how we all remember things differently isn't it!

And why don't you give Assumption a call. Hawkins indeed had rellies go there.

it is common tradition to go to the school that your dad went to. for tom hawkins that was MGS. he wouldnt've gone to Assumption, just because he had some obscure family connections on his mothers side of the family.

Think you'll find Rush, not Kennedy who got sent off.... As for that ridiculous comment about Grammar winning had Ellis not been cleaned up, they were at least 7 goals behind at that point and were only still in the game because Ellis was carrying them. Also remember Will Smith taking the Tomahawk to the cleaners that day.

I boarded at Xavier with the Tomahawk's cousin and like Couch Potato said, his mothers side went to Assumption. Also being from Finley, many generations of Finley families have been through Assumption...one name that springs to mind is Shane Crawford!

Besides, I think any bloke with any sense of Football pride or values would rather go to Assumption than MGS, with a much richer footy history and reputation.

I would've thought MGS had a pretty rich football history considering they invented and played in the first game.

Back to the topic! Xavier v St Patricks

Xavier won but not convincingly in a tough battle by three goals. Better players for Xavier included Kennedy (4 Goals), Lees, Cross, and Shiel (2 Goals).

Can't really be too harsh on Xavier's peformance due to its lack of big name players who didn't play including O'Sullivan.

Next Game:

April 1st @ St Kevins Main Oval Xavier v St Kevins (1st's Practise Game) and before it both sides 2nd's teams well worth watching

Rush will be pretty hard to stop being just as dominant as Jonathan Brown up forward.

Look for Craig, Ambrose & Noonan to pick up the major problems of the OX U 19's plus Whelan new inclusion although a lack luster performance aganist St Patrick's.

Xavier 1st's can't be overlooked this year no doubt the year of the "red & black"

New to this thing but let me just say this MGS 150 years scolarship stuff is all just extremely saddening. 6 scolarships for a crack at a premiership brings tears to most peoples eyes, if you claim that your team last year consisted of 17 yr 11's then why not keep it that, verse schools such as the likes of XC or SC..probably the only two teams in the APS still thriving on natural talent. Well done though Melbourne. maybe some time soon.

scotch have hardly been thriving on natural talent, they have given out scholarships to three Rioli's as well as djerrkurra a few years back. Probably only about three of those six will play firsts the whole year, the others are a bit young but may play one or two games.

My Point being is that if Melbourne Grammar claim that Shaw etc carry the aps with their talent and how they still made the aps team after being tagged every game last year and continue to brag about how good and athletic all your blokes are in the threads on this site, than why get scolarships? Continue this was MGS and you could become the new Hailebury of the APS.
MGS do have scholarships but the majority of the team will be made up of people not on one and all the major positions will be people not on scholarships. our midfield will all be people not on one. most of the aboriginal scholarships won't play as regulars anyway

23 Mar 2008, 15:09

apart from a couple of indigenous scholarships to boys in yrs 9 and 10, who will get nowhere near to playing 1sts footy, mgs have only given out 2 new scholarships this year - to steve may and luke mitchell

steve may - is also on an indigenous scholarship, is from nt but unlike other indigenous boys was chosen first up because he is a really good footballer

luke mitchell - played in u15 vsssa team with one of the grammar coaches as coaches. Having discussed possibilities and having expressed interest in going to mgs, luke mitchell was offered a scholarship.

Apart from these two boys, no-one else has been given a scholarship for this year. Both are in yr 10 and 11, so it is hardly a quick-fix get em in for the 150th so we can win. They are both not going to play as good a football this year as they will next.

On other scholarship news, brendan rathnow ( a scholarship from last yr) has left the school. This will mean that scholarship boys playing will be marangon (y12), mitchell (yr 11) and keath (yr 10).

Marra is actually on a 25% aths scholarship, with his brother paying full fees.

Keathys on a cricket/footy scholarship, however he approached the school being good friends of Jack Heinz (OM 2006), both from shep. Isn't on a full schol either.

Then there will be about 4 indigenous guys playing (depends on selection), of whom only 1 is genuinely here for footy, the rest are mainly here cos they are most suited out of all the indigenous boys who try out for the MGS indigenous scholarship spots available to aboriginal boys in the NT. We dont just pick guys who play footy, with a couple of the indigenous boys not even playing footy (yr 8 guy and yr 9 guy)

Aquaman

23 Mar 2008, 15:57

thanks for that. its always good to get rid of peoples speculations. it wud be good if other schools revealed there scolarships so people are clear about who are on scolarships and the number of. anyway xavs vs skevs april 1st. 2nds play at 11 and 1's play directly after them. should be a good day of football both schools looking good.

Billy Costigan

31 Mar 2008, 14:38

It is all well and good for Melbourne Grammar to go and recruit 10 Aboriginal players and i think it is great that those guys get given an opportunity and one of Melbourne's premier schools.

BUT

From what ive heard and also through the media scotch put alot of effort into extra curricular activities and studies for these boys who can go back to Darwin and become prominant leaders.

Unlike Melbourne Grammar who simply recruit a number of players and hope they can play football and after their finished at school they simply deiscard them.

It is all well and good to acuse scotch of recruiting but look where these boys have Gone:
Djekurra - Geelong
Rioli - Hawthorn
Sh. Rioli extremely good footballer will probably get drafted.

These are three out of four scholarships and it has helped the boys to get drafted!

Should be an interesting game at Skevs tomorrow.
Carey Vs Skevs
Last time they played was last rnd last year and Carey managed to get a win. Skevs will be looking for a bit of revenge. Both teams will be undermanned with TAC CUP committments. Will be interesting to also see how the yr 11s from both teams step up now that they 'belong' more in the league. That includes Wallace and Parker from Carey and not sure whether Cachia and Purcell are playing for skevs.
what TAC cup players other than lisle does carey have? you'll be hardly undermanned.
teams like hailebury and xavier are undermanned during praccy matches, cause they have 10-12 TAC players, not 1-3

very true. however, you cant read too much into practice matches with the top flight teams like xavier. if they had a full squad, they may have beaten skevs by more. however st kevins may have had a couple of TAC players not playing which may have cost them slightly.

What do people think about Xaviers petty tactics in their practice match against Geelong Grammar? While it wasn't a bad idea it was pretty unnecessary and was insulting to Geelong who were beaten by a very exciting Xavier 2nds team. Leaving there 1sts to play against Western Australian team Aquinas

aintplayin03

Awesome tactics worked well. Great idea, worked better than planned when they managed to pull off a win. Perhaps a sign of the depth of Xavier, a scary thought.

and was funny to see about 8 grammars come to spy

bigredling

14 Apr 2008, 00:21

A very arrogant move thus the reason xavier are the most hated football side in the APS. There was some depth, alot of mediocrity with a couple of extremely talented players who will probably play 1sts anyway. Geelong would have won with a full side, Geelong won 3 quaters, however they were unable to gain the lead back from the second quater where 2 players in the foreward led a goal onslaught, where geelong struggled to convert. I would like to hear from some non-xavier and non-grammar (geelong) students on the matter, i think the pure arrogance of the xavier admin is incredible insulting.

THE BRICKMAN

14 Apr 2008, 18:38

you have got it all wrong, it was not done so that xavier could flaunt its depth, it was done so that whoever was coming down to watch the game who were associated with the grammar firsts would not be able to spy.

aintplayin03

14 Apr 2008, 18:47

Yeah you ____wit. It was a precautionary matter to avoid Melbourne Grammar getting a good look at the firsts, although in the end they did anyway. Only in retrospect does it reflect a great depth to the Xavier team, and was not a sign of arrogance at all.

Geelong did not win 3 quarters either, one quarter maybe. Get your facts right before making such ridiculous statements, no one is doubting that Geelong would have won with a full side, and nobody is talking down Geelong as a result.

Your so intelligent are you with your little brackets, bottom line, we owned you guys. You had a couple of players out, so did we and just like last year will thrash when you have your toy boys in and can't make excuses about not having a good side. To the carey boys, you wouldnt even know what a football tactic is so dont try and claim that xavier's was arrogant because it wasn't at all. The 1sts played on sunday because the side that Aquinas was bringing down was a lot stronger than the side that the undermanned Geelong could conjour up and it turns out that both xavier teams won in very competetive games. The Xavier football administration should be commended on efficiently working out what teams to play on what days in preparation for round 1. The grammar boys are just having a little sook because their pages of notes are irrelevant because they picked the wrong 21 players and now they are worried. Game Over

Conners#39

this yrs xavier yr 12s beat skevs by 180 points one year. in yr 9 killed them. yr 10 they had 5 players playing ones or 2's and a few out with season injuries. who cares if lees didnt get a kick in the praccy. hes gonna get another 40 against u this yr. just like he did last year when he was in yr 11 and tore ur team apart. the xavier yr 11's this year were undefeated last year. if im not mistaken i think that means they beat ur yr 11's. just a thought. but what would i know. ive got no credibility i post on bigfooty.

Pretty sure we have let the results do the talking, you were missing your beloved Cachia boo hoo the Xavier team still managed to pull a massive deficit against the Skevs at home yet again without a few of our best players, Kennedy Noonan O'Sullivan and Hannebery to name. Our Year 11's beat your year 11's last year by 40pts at Skevs and the last time you beat Xavier was your premiership year...more than 10 years ago Stop smart mouthing coz your just digging yourself a grave. results have spoken, Xavier this year WILL beat St Kevins.

I think you will find Xavier beat St Kevin's in 97 when they last won the premiership, the last time St Kevin's beat Xavier was the year before in 96. Although Xavier clearly has the wood over St Kevin's i don't think you should be hanging your hat on the hard work of previous years and should be worrying more about defending that title this year. and i don't mean defending it on big footy because anyone can string together a clever sentance talking their school up, both schools need to do less talk n more walk

Your so intelligent are you with your little brackets, bottom line, we owned you guys. You had a couple of players out, so did we and just like last year will thrash when you have your toy boys in and can't make excuses about not having a good side.

cheif your missing the point, by no means am i saying skevs are gonna thump xavier, all im saying is that skevs have been given no chance here at all, and people need to know the facts mate, when skevs played you they had 10 players out, whether that will close the 10 goal difference who knows, but dont go bashing about for no good reason. its school footy mate not a war
