Saw Canterbury kept Kilsyth honest until the final quarter when they appear to have run out of legs. They are not that far off, and could have a major influence on the final standings of sides in the 2nd half of the season if they can increase the fitness levels.

Agreed. They didnt look bad in the first half against South Belgrave either.

i currently play football in the wrfl division 2. I live in the eastern suburbs and am looking at a change of clubs. What is the standard of divison 4? i am looking for a club with good facilities and a good junior base any suggestions for clubs to play for. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks,

 

[Tigersman]

Unusual to be changing clubs this late in the season Brooker. Why are you wanting to move?

 

[Brooker14]

Hi tigersman,

I am not looking to move clubs this season, i am going to play the rest of this season out then seek a move to the efl for next year. I dont know a lot about the clubs on this side of town, and was just wanting some info on clubs that i could play at.

Any help would be appreciated.

Just a little. No goals scored in Round 9. 7 points of which a number would probably be rushed. That's not even 2 points per quarter!

Woot the hell has happended @ Surrey Park?

They are on thier knees big time obviously. 2 points in each of the 1st 3 quarters, before they ran out of steam in the last & only got 1 behind

Saw a bloke in the Reserves wearing Blundstone work boots a few weeks back - obviously struggling big time for numbers

The blundtsone boot guy was back again on saturday. Ive played most of my life in the country, and have never seen anything as crazy as that! Though i swear i heard one of the 7 supporters on hand say that he got offered boots but turned them down. Not sure if he got to test them out on the ball either

As for the ones, i didnt think they were that bad. Just struggled to get it past the center with players playing loose back. The gully were having a good day though

 

[Tigersman]

I heard something about blundstone guy wearing those boots because of an ankle injury?

If he is prepared to help them field a side good luck to him.

 

[Chuck Liddell]

Good win by the Basin at Chirnside - word is the scoreline flattered Chirnside. Basin would have to be considered the real deal in 09?

Basin are looking good at the moment, but the whole comp looks very even with most sides capable of beating one another on any given week. Injuries will have a big say in where sides finish this year I'm tipping, and expect the last round to have a number of games which will decide who plays finals.

The closeness of the comp seems to be reflected in crowd numbers, with good support for the majority of clubs at both home & away fixtures - it might pay to notify some clubs of your expected crowd numbers on away fixtures so they can stock the bar

It will be interesting to see how things sit in a few weeks when all sides will have played each other once by then

Not sure why he wears them, but agree, good on him for getting out there & helping out. Maybe we could nominate him to the footy show for something & maybe get some publicity for them too - sure they could use it!

And more importantly how did you score that user name in 2007 - thought all the tigersmen would have been all over that 1 before then

 

[Blue Tongue]

Heard a rumour that some scientist who had been out of the clink for a very short time decided to launch his latest grab for cash at the football ground of one of the EFL's club last weekend. The story goes he cleaned out the bags of the players (not sure if the home, away or both) of valuables, tried to acquire a vehicle at the ground for the get away, got caught by an off duty man of the law trying to enter said car, and when grabbed had all the missing valuables fall out of his jacket.

Think he will find himself back behind bars shortly

But seriously, I know this sort of thing used to happen a fair bit many many moons ago, but worth reminding players & officials of the need to be careful no matter where you are – after all the boys in blue have a base at the entrance of this ground and it didn’t seem to worry the bloke one bit

PS Not a 4th divi club, but thought it worth mentioning (and they might be 4th next year anyways)

 

[champp]

brooker14 - 4th Division is very competitive apart from Surrey Park - most of the other clubs have good facilities and are pretty strong clubs with juniors. Go to www.efl.org.au and judge for yourself.
The Blundstone bloke is apparently 52 years old and plays in them for his own reasons obviously but not a great look but he is there helping out so who can criticise a club that is trying to rebuild after a few recent problems.

 

[Tigersman]

Just out of interest Tigersman, who do you follow?

South Belgrave.

Enjoying this year a lot more than last year.

 

[EFL Boy]

Anyone who will be attending a game today, would you be interested in posting a match review in the preview/review thread?

Can be brief or detailed.
