2) how did monbulk get a second division final??? is the league genuine about showcasing the football??? Can appreciate they want to share it around but surely let monbulk have a beer booth at another venue!!!

Have long advocated "sharing" in the manner you suggest. Unfortunately, clubs with appropriate facilities are unwilling and use a number of discredited 'dog in the manger' reasons, such as liquor licences, to maintain their monopolies. The finals sharing model of the Geelong & Dist.FNL is a good one that should be looked at. They have successfully staged shared finals arrangements for over 20 years, with ALL clubs having involvement in running finals by sharing parking duties, security, catering and beer booths, etc, on a rotational basis. It distributes the revenue equitably and allows everyone a piece of the pie -IF they work for it! The League gains by using the best venues, paying the host club a hire fee and allowing other clubs to supply services. Works out as win-win for all concerned.

Agreed with this. The ground literally has a 10m slope.

Meh. Literally, it is 2.4m (8ft) according to surveyors. Monbulkians are genetically endowed with one short leg to cope with the slope, so it is not obvious to them. Lords cricket ground has a slope in excess of Monbulk's but manages to stage Test matches.

Can't find it documented anywhere but I was told the other day that this year there will be no Div 2 U/18 finals. Anyone know the official word?

Only One Division in the Unders this season-they will have a final 8

Tips this week.....

Olinda v Healesville...... OLINDA, by 21, fermanis and turner out with a couple others, Olinda peaking at right time..

Woori v mt Evelyn...... WOORI by 28, woori will be starting to bring there game day hat from here on...

Monbulk v wandin...... WANDIN by 34, there just too good with players still returning, and favrin out for monbulk..

Warby v upwey...... WARBY BY 13, warby getting up and about to finish the season well...

Yarra glen v Belgrave..... BELGRAVE by 33, Belgrave mids are better and should be the difference...

 

[PelicanPete]

I think its all going to come down to the last round of the season for the double chance. Woori vs H'Ville. Winner takes third.

 

[PelicanPete]

This Week
Upwey in a close one
Wandin to pick apart Monbulk
H'Ville too quick and just over Olinda
Mt Ev to upset Woori
Belgrave to smack Yarra Glen by a hundy

 

[biteme]

Wandin to pick apart Monbulk.......maybe not!

Big Blow for Wandin with R.Ross and J.Taylor gone for the year with injury.

Healz is a woori boy, so I'm guessing he's saying woori by 10 goals,

Me? I think woori too, but only just...

 

[Nick Crossland]

Well done to Wandin FNC for going through H&A season undefeated in Seniors and top in 2nds as well.
Great result for a great club.

Hopefully big September to come!!!

[Local Knowledge]

According to this weeks local paper Wandin have signed Joel Coombes and according to the article he is a very well credentialed player. I can't help but thinking that even though Wandin is building a fair list, it seems to be at the chagrin of other clubs and that we may be in for a bit of a boring season. Yes, there will probably be a bit of interest in who gets fourth and fifth spot and who gets relegated but at the very top end; forget it.

I can see Wandin absolutely smashing some teams this year and then romping to a fairly one sided finals series. But then what? They (Wandin) will beat their chests saying how good they are, whilst the rest of the competition will be asking how they compete. Seems to have a bit of "Silvan" writen all over it.

Hate to say I told you so, but I told you so.

 

[biteme]

Hey LK, pretty well summarised but explain what you mean re the Silvan part i dont get it?

 

[Bertron]

Hate to say I told you so, but I told you so.

I think its the most even final series for years
should be a great 4 weeks, what ever the outcome

How is it even when you have a $1.10 undefeated flag favourite

 

[Valley boy]

Well...
2011 Gembrook lost @$1.60
2012 Gembrook lost @ $1.01
2013 Upwey lost @ &1.02
2014 after the prelim wandin odds came into $1.60 and lost .
Smashing teams throughout the H & A is 1 thing, doing it Grand final day is another. For Wandin sake I hope they can do it
