Just for anyone concerned about the Little Wessy Under 9 player that got airlifted after the game from Monbulk to the Royal Childrens last Sunday. He is coming along pretty well and should be out of hospital by the end of the week.

Was there and didn't see it either. Those that did see it said it looked shocking, he didn't return for the game. He will be crucial for them this week though.Simon Gordon was in magnificent form for Yarra Glen until he was injured late in the third quarter. Did anyone else see the incident? Not very pretty. None of the umpires saw anything, as they were quite naturally looking at the ball which was 30 metres away. Is he going to be right for this week's game?

Not being there for the game. What was the incident? Hit behind play? Ugly injury?
The hit was well off the ball and no Yarra Glen players saw what happened. Probably a good thing as I'm sure there are a few of the Yarra boys who would have reacted. It is really sad that a Powelly player would do such a cowardly thing, very lucky that no umpire saw it.Hit behind the play. Gordon was stationary and was about to lead for the ball. An opponent (not his direct opponent) ran up from behind and appeared to deliberately hit him in the head. Gordon went down and was taken off the ground and didn't return. A few spectators saw it happen and advised the umpires of the number of the culprit, but none of the umpires had seen anything. The strange thing was the none of the Yarra Glen players reacted to the incident at all. A bloke who did something like that, say, fifteen years ago would have been set upon by several opponents. Remember what they did to Leigh Matthews after the Neville Bruns thing? On the other hand, I suppose no-one wants to get reported in a final. And Ken Taylor was lurking around, ready to report. But it looks like flying the flag is a thing of the past.

Woori has won its last six finals games and will set a first division record of seven in a row if it wins tomorrow. I am tipping them to win narrowly. The other game is a toss up, but I'll stick with Monbulk. In second division, Thornton to upset Powelltown and Yarra Glen to win the second semi.
In light of what has happened to the Buchan football I would be very nervous if I was playing for a certain club this week. I know for a fact that a player has been put on the reserves team sheet twice mid year to qualify and didn't take the field or even suit up for the start of one of those game. Yes some clubs do video their ressie games.
Which Club are you concerned about?Put it this way, I wouldn't be going on mad Monday just yet if I lost on Sunday
Yarra Glen v Thornton in the ones
Yarra Glen v Alexandra in the twos
Wandin v Yea in the 18's
Which club are you alleging that's cheating? I'm intregued!
He played for Eastern Ranges which count as Senior VCFL Games for Finals QualificationMmmm in light of what your saying
Seems that mt Evelyn had D.kift play yesterday and last week against monbulk
He has played 4 games to date (2 being finals) and 1 in the under 18s and 0 reserves games
Surely a mistake if not what happends now probly nothing
Not Thornton
