    Alberton Footy League - 2016

    A bit of perspective on the Fisher incident, and I am in no way condoning what was a filthy act, but I find it amazing how a club such as Dalyston can take the high moral ground on this issue. Firstly to allow the video (which was taken by the club) to be released into the public forum was a...

    Alberton Footy League - 2016

    Most of the funds raised on the day are actually used to upgrade facilities, at MDU there has been significant money spent on upgrades in the last decade, including netball courts and lighting, social rooms and surrounds as well as drainage on the ground. As for getting ring-ins its one of those...

    Alberton Footy League - 2016

    Didn't you have MDU finishing top 2 only a matter of weeks ago P.Kitty? As for the MDU vs K/Bena game it was a reasonable game of footy to watch. K/B were just too good on the day, playing what most of their supporters thought was their best 4 qtr effort for the season. The Crowd was 1600+ which...

    Alberton Footy League - 2016

    Probably not that stupid when you look at the draw, Dalyston, Fish Creek, Foster, Phillip Island, and Stony Creek all have byes. Leongatha play at Bairnsdale that day, so if people in the area are looking to go to a game they will probably head out to Meeniyan for a look. Maybe do some research...

    You are correct on that one Carrolls. Splitting into 3 groups would only make a minor difference to sides 5-8 though. At the end of the day if you cant beat the top sides you are not going to make an impact in the finals anyway.

    Alberton Footy League - 2016

    Obviously the league have taken a leaf out of the AFL's book and split the teams in to two groups when doing the draw this year. The top teams from 2013 and the bottom teams from 2013. The idea behind this I assume is to try to keep as many teams "in the hunt" as possible for as long as...

    You cant be serious Bench, comparing 10 straight (in a nine team comp) to three in a row. Three consecutive flags is a phenomenal effort, but one of the greatest teams of the modern era is a bit of a stretch. Premierships are hard to win no matter what comp you are playing in. For you to try to...

    Alberton Footy League - 2016

    The finals venues are always a bit of a joke. Burra is the worst ground in the comp by a mile, just a bog hole, and earlier this year they had put some form of gravelly sand on it. It would have to go down as one of the biggest stuff ups in history. They have spent a fortune on it and it is...

    I see Shane "chocco" Peters has had a clearance from MDU to Mirboo Nth Denied. Is this a case of Mirboo Nth chasing some former players to top up for a tilt at a premiership, or chocco deserting a side that is battling a bit to try and claim some glory for himself. Either way its pretty ordinary...

    Alberton Footy League - 2016

    "Culture" is one of the new buzz words in footy, do you mind sharing with us what the culture at killy/bass is benchy. Does this also mean that Killy/Bass had a Crap "culture" for the 30 odd years they didnt win a flag and rarely made finals? Having been involved with both successful and...

    My mail was, and this is only second hand information, that when he was at Tarwin he would pretty much play or train, shower and then jump straight in his car and head home. No attendance at social functions or Thursday night meals. This apparently rubbed a few of his teammates up the wrong way...

    Are all traf people as arrogant and cocky as Baysixer. I would certainly hope not otherwise the club would be an unbearable place to be, he must be a gun himself as he doesnt seem to rate many players in the League. Looking at results from the first couple of rounds I would tend to agree with...

    Alberton Footy League - 2016

    Outrageous call on DWWWW, no doubt they can improve but to jump from 12th with one win to playing finals in one year would be unheard of. They would have to recruit a truckload of top qaulity players to get anywhere near that

    Alberton Footy League - 2016

    MDU were very ordinary, take nothing away from Yarram who played extremely well. Players like Strobel and Bruns handled the ball like it was a dry day. Yarram were first in and harder at the ball all day and MDU had only a couple of four qaurter performers. It seemed like MDU just didnt show up...

    Alberton Footy League - 2016

    Some interesting games this week. The Yarram Vs MDU clash could be season defining, especially for Yarram. If they lose Saturday it will make them 1-4 which would make it difficult for them to make finals. Stony should chalk up win number one for supercoach Sam Hughes against DWs. I/K Vs Tarwin...

    Killy/Bass, MDU, Korumburra/Bena,Yarram ,Phillip Island and Fish Creek would be my tips this week.

    Surely you cant be serious. Toora will not finish higher than Stony, Stony still have a reasonable team although they lack depth. Its pretty harsh to judge a coach one game into the season, and Im sure if you looked at Stony's history you will find they have had some very ordinary coaches over...

    Traill played in a practice match for Mirboo Nth against MDU last weekend, and there is a photo of him at training for Mirboo nth in the Leongatha paper. So I would assume that he is playing

    That_Guy give us some names please.. St Leo and bombersfan51 the only reason clubs paid under the table in the past was because of the salary cap. Now that there isnt a salary cap clubs have no reason to use these payments. I think if you did some research you would find that what most clubs...

    A good idea P.Kitty, this would stop people speculating on what clubs are spending whilst helping the finances of struggling clubs with a much needed membership boost. A win/win for all parties. HHP I think the bottom two sides pick themselves. I think we will have an interesting year again with...

    Alberton Footy League - 2016

    Once again the money debate raises its head. Personally I feel if a club wants to pay someone that is their right. I have played with some duds over the years who have been on the payroll, and im sure every club has made the mistake of paying second rate footballers. Does the problem rest with...

    Alberton Footy League - 2016

    Exactly how it should be with three games that will effect the 6. I dont think the make-up of the 6 will change as I cant see Dalyston beating Foster, although there have been a few upsets this season. There will be a bit of a shuffle in positions though. Im thinking it will end up 1.K/Bass 2...

    Yarram,Phillip Island, Foster, Korumburra, Tarwin and Invy for the GF. I cant understand the Leagues love affair with the Tarwin ground. The only thing going for it is it is dry. The surface is uneven, the grass way too thick for a footy ground and its almost always windy and cold down there...

    Alberton Footy League - 2016

    Results going as expected yesterday. I think next week will be a defining round. I/K will have to beat the Daly to keep thier season alive. If MDU can defeat K/Bena at home it will almost assure them of playing finals. I expect that one to be a close game. And then Foster vs K/Bass should be a...

    Surely you would have to consider I/K and Phillip Island underdogs in thier respective games P.Kitty.. Not saying they cant win but I would be suprised if they both won
