Wimmera Football League Under 17's

[getitindia]

All you idiots need to leave Bairdy alone. Before you start bagging his performance on the weekend get your facts right. The reason he got switched to Full Back was in no way because he was getting beaten. It was purely because our coach thought he could do a better job than anyone else down there at Full Back. I personally thought Bairdy played bloody well down there considering it's way out of his comfort zone. If anything the kid needs to be congratulated on his efforts down there, as he is relatively new in a backline role. Well played down there, Bairdy.

he has to start presenting his ass cheeks to dale power if he wants to get a run in the seniors (true or false)

[Foley]

In a few years time Nic Baird could be one of the Seniors most valuable players. Time to back off him and concentrate on your own performances ... cause I'm pretty sure Nic's going better than most players in the Under 17s at the moment.

[croweater 41]

he has to start presenting his ass cheeks to dale power if he wants to get a run in the seniors (true or false)
Most players do now with the numbers and skills going around

[croweater 41]

Sure did mate but ya get that but oh well, i didn't get stuck at full back though.
Hey i dnt care i will play where ever the coach tells me to im not looking for a goal kickin award that comes second to team performance im just glad im getting a game week in week out

[bighawk_23]

Just to agree with the good ole rats boys keep stickin it up em They wanna slag us off we'll keep goin strong

Its called KARMA you guys say ya goin to be undefeated and win the flag its all you's deserve!;)

[croweater 41]

Horsham to win by 35 points to strong and to much run
stawell can get up in a close one
Saints by 60 points
Nhill in a very close one game of the round
Quoting my self i know i feel bad but had to find the tips i made this week

[scottyD]

I don't think it will be close CE41...

[croweater 41]

Which one digs and tigers or eagles and stawell

[scottyD]

Nhill and Diggers...

[croweater 41]

All rite diggers to win by 5 goals

[diggers]

All rite diggers to win by 5 goals


yes i would tip the diggers to get over nhill to home ground the diggers always fire up for a close game looking ford to the match :thumbsu:

[scottyD]

Also, I hope Nhill have a late Friday Night!!! If you know what i mean:thumbsu:

[croweater 41]

it shall be a beauty

[croweater 41]

Also, I hope Nhill have a late Friday Night!!! If you know what i mean:thumbsu:
A few (lotsa) drinks and a 3am nite is that what you are suggesting

[scottyD]

Yep. Someone send them 'Free' Alcohol and we could run the ragged Tigers off their feet:thumbsu:

[Foley]

Horsham will be too strong for those 'cool' Ararat boys.
Stawell in what should be a good match.
Saints will prove too strong
Nhill in a tight tussle ... looking like the match to keep an eye on.

[croweater 41]

We all need to chip in for this grog aint cheap anymore:thumbsu::p

[croweater 41]

he has to start presenting his ass cheeks to dale power if he wants to get a run in the seniors (true or false)
Jack Kelly must be doin something rite then to play in the 2's 2 weeks in a row. Must be bending his back :thumbsu: and his knees

[Animal]

Good to see my thread is getting a bit of use all in the right manner as well.
Its not really my thread anymore though i think scottyd and croweater have this territory marked.

[croweater 41]

We try to :thumbsu: i would call scotty in charge

[scottyD]

Yeh well i thought we better leave it out of the 'Senior Football Thread'.

Thanks Nic.

[scottyD]

No worries scotty

[Foley]

Hey don't forget Foley! He's definitely 3rd in charge here!

[croweater 41]

1 scotty
2 ce41
3 foley
happy now idiot lol

[Foley]

Oh yeah .... having an orgasm!

[croweater 41]

Thats sick why would you say that

[croweater 41]

.

I agree araratrats08 especially when rhys cronin from ararat destroyed bairdy at full back holding him to one kick while playing on him. No efense to the bloke but one kick for a half of footy isn't really good enough for a player in his last year of juniors. But i suppose everyone has there days
I played on cronin for 3 minutes i had other kicks off him in that half lets get facts right here seriously

[Dtrain12]

For christ sake lay off nic baird give him a break. 3 minutes doesn't mean crap get over yourself R.C

What a week in football!
The Warracknabeal Eagles came off a 37 point loss against the Diggers to play the Stawell Warriors. Warracknabeal kept Stawell scoreless at the first break and kicking 3 goals 6 for themselves. Both teams scored 1 goal & 3 points in the second quarter leaving the margin of 24 points in favour to Warracknabeal. Stawell must have been appointed with the wrong end of the field letting the Eagles to kick 2 goals alongside an unfortunate 6 points again. 3rd quarter had Stawell down by 42 points but Stawell kept the Warrior spirit and added 2 goals to their tally leaving Warrack scoreless. Alex Ross and Timothy Germano taking best afield for the Eagles and Jesse Eckel alongside Nicholas Taylor took the 1st and 2nd B.O.G performance for the Warriors respectively.
Warracknabeal taking 6.15 (51) to beat Stawell 3.4 (22)


Nhill Tigers played the Horsham Diggers at City Oval and what a game it was with the battle being 2nd placed Nhill up against 4th placed Diggers. The Diggers walked onto the field hoping they could turn around their unfortunate first round loss to the Tigers after losing by 120 points odd. The Diggers kicked the first 2 goals in the 1st quarter with 3 behinds while keeping Nhill scoreless. The wind favoured Nhill in the second quarter but they could only convert 1 goal in the final minutes of the quarter. The Diggers kicked 3 goals straight and led by 26 points at the mid-break. With the wind against the Tigers, they managed to blitz a 4 goal run leaving the Diggers with just the single. The backline for the Diggers looked strong while the midfield was very evenly matched. The Diggers’ goaled in the first minute of the final quarter but the Tigers kept battling and earned themselves a goal rightfully.

Nhill scored 4 points alongside that single goal in the last quarter while the Diggers got another major taking them to 8.7 (55) and the Tigers 5.5 (35).
Best afield for United were Tanner Wills and Ayden Horyna while Tigers Martin Dufty and Jye Ross earned their spot in their clubs best.



At Alexandra Oval, 3rd placed Ararat Rats welcomed 1st placed Horsham Demons to what was to be a great game. Ararat being the only team victorious over Horsham this season looked to take their skill and pace to knock off the Demons. A 5 goal 4 point start to the Demons stunned the Rats leaving them scoreless come the 1st quarter. Demons kicked 5 behinds in the 2nd ironically with Ararat taking the ball through the middle of the goals just the once. The Rats were down by 33 at Half-Time and responded kicking 2 goals straight with the Demons kicking no goals but 4 behinds leaving them on 5.13 at 3rd quarter time. Ararat’s accuracy was to be admired but they couldn’t get the ball into their Forward 50 enough leaving them kicking 2 extra majors and 3 points. Demons were brought back to the ground and responded by kicking 3 goals and 2 behinds. Best afield for the Demons were Jack Atkin-Smith and Joel Ladlow, two very promising players while Luke Broadbent and Lachlan Malloy brought Ararat into the game with their efforts. Final score at Ararat was the Rats 5.3 (33) to Horsham 8.15 (63)



Minyip-Murtoa hoped to get their first win on the board against the exciting Horsham Saints at Minyip and the Burra’s fought hard throughout the match. The 1st quarter for the Saints ended with them kicking 3 goals 2 points to the single minor from M-M. Jacob Cooke-Harrison starred alongside Rory Taggert for the Saints as they kicked 2 goals 2 behinds in the second but something must have strengthened Minyip-Murtoa as they kicked 3 goals straight leaving the half-time margin of 15 in favour to the Saints. Cooke-Harrison was vital booting goals left right and centre t help the Saints kick another 3 goals compared to the Burra’s 1. The final quarter let the goals unload with Minyip-Murtoa kicking 2 and the Saints 4 goals & 6 points.
Final score at Minyip Recreation Reserve was Minyip- Murtoa 6.2 (38) and the Saints 12.14 (86).
Jacob Cooke-Harrison booting 5 majors and Rory Taggert with 3 helped them steer the win.
Best afield for the Saints was Shaun Knott and Beau Nelson kicking 3 goals between them in the process and the Burra’s Vincent and Timothy White played well but couldn’t help their team cross the line.





Dimboola had the bye.


And what a week in football!

[diggers]

what win for horsham united a great win and was a great effort still fourth on the ladder put will look to have a red hot go at horsham demons next round probarly did play ones haha

[Shaft]

I've just been told by the man Nic Baird himself that he broke his collabone playing reserves today.. Out for 6 to 8 weeks, so for the rest of the season..

[scottyD]

Shit. Thats no good at all

[Nardoo]

Nice wrap up Scotty D you will score a job at the Herald Sun pretty soon! I actually snuck in for a look at Diggers and Nhill today. Great game and by the looks of it round one was not a clear indication of the Diggers as you seem to have gone from strength to strength since those first 3 losses. I reckon Scotty D you should have got in the top 4 as I thought your game was excellent off the backline. The big fella you had in the ruck was a real winner for you also. Adam Taylor seemed quiet but his goasl helped alot. Good pressure caught Nhill out - but be wary of them in the finals. Look out Demons and I hope I can get down to City Oval next week. I am going for the Diggers but dont get too cocky as Horsham will run away with it. You boys will have to get someone to tag Aitken Smith out of the game and also put the stops on O'Callaghan Kelly & McCrae. I hear Ward may not be playing which may help the Diggers. My tip for MM to get up for their first win against the Roos next week!
