He did Champ as his team had the week off. The Friars on the other hand had a great win under their new interim coach (will leave it to HedgeBurner to fill you in on the details as he's more informed than I am). Results made the relegation battle a very interesting one when you look forward...

Congrats to Kew, been a difficult couple of weeks but even missing 2 key forwards have been able to win though to Premier C. Big week looming for Oggers and Ormond which is what is so great about our league with 2 going up (and down). Wasn't able to get to either game - anyone able to share...

What was better for Old Xavs today - winning to avoid relegation or beating the Scotchies and making sure they were relegated? I'm thinking both!!

Assume it started last week for the Friars game given the timing of the investigation decision and the fact he was nowhere near the players/coaches box for the game. Anyone know the last time a senior coach was suspended by the VAFA?

Maybe he was taking a different perspective on the game given they had 2nd spot wrapped up. I'd heard from multiple sources the rumour he'd been suspended and it looked like it given his lack of involvement on match day but can't confirm - above my pay scale in the VAFA. Might have to wait...

I thought he was great on the weekend, sat high on the wing area, didn't talk to the players at the breaks or come into the rooms after the game. Was almost like he had a self-imposed ban on coaching - a sabbatical to prepare for the finals. Just curious, if a coach was suspended, where would...

Will have to wait to play at Friars until next year after you win this week (or next week) Champ. If these grounds are all available and the VAFA don't mind clubs travelling from Dandenong to Essendon then why wait this long to announce venues???? I've wrongly assumed all these years that the...

Champ, there's a pristine ground in Donvale at Whitefriars that is available. Ample parking, ground is in magnificent condition and has been offered for Sat/Sun games this week to the VAFA. Ivanhoe v St Johns in the Seniors would be a good compromise in travel for both sides and Ivanhoe v MHSOB...

Now onto the final home and away round. A couple of interesting fixtures this week but looks like a tipster's nightmare given the relegation places have been filled and the top 4 decided. Only mathematically could 2 and 3 swap places and I can't see that happening even if Kew lost. NOBSP vs...

http://www.btafc.com.au/official-club-statement-regarding-kew-incident/ Good to see. As per my earlier post, it's important to hear something official in such times as it makes it clear where the club stands.

First and foremost, best wishes to the players who have been injured for a speedy recovery. In relation to the incident(s) I can't comment as I wasn't there. What I would like to see/hear is the VAFA and BTAFC make a public statement on the matter - it's now almost 2 days later and I'm yet to...

Agreed about the tame part, hard to say anything bad about a club with such a great commitment from a very loyal and hard working committee. I've always found all of the opposition supporters to be feral when they are winning and talking about it and great blokes when they are losing and saying...

Great work Fumbles;), wrong spot on the ladder, wrong team leaving the VAFA (Rupo left in 2012 and even Werribee and Banyule have left since Rupo did). Almost as good as your post earlier in the year about Friar Park being "an absolute s%$thole of a ground. It bogs up massively and don't even...

I can't speak for Hedge but IMO it is very simple, a young side starting to believe in its potential and some consistency on the park re personnel. Last year the Friars played over 50 through the seniors and that is not going to build stability in a group. A young list that can't quite match...

Agree Bedford/Hedge, I've met some great people from SMS and every club for that matter. If the guy you are referring to is #28 Rajkumar then he is a right royal goose. Has a big mouth but lacks the skill or restraint required - ended up being dragged and benched for the remainder of the game...
