[The Spoiler]

Would it be considered careless to lose a football manager a few weeks before the season starts for the second year in a row?

He tends to go awol after being put back in his place anyways.

Then comes on trolling again, gets put in his place and goes awol for ages, before coming back on to continue the cycle.

Its become a habit for him and a chore for the rest of us.

Explain to me how i am the biggest idiot? What in that reply made me sound like an idiot. All i said was no i don't think it's careless and than asked why such a silly question? But thanks for making it official.

Hi All, anybody seen any pre-season games, spotted a new "gun" or gathered thoughts on who is on the improve/decline?

Havnt heard much at all.
Demons should improve heaps with the likes of some quality sydney recriuts plus Fixter to there on ball division . Nothing coming out of Tuggers. Qnbo have a load of youngsters but seemed to have lost experience especially armstrong. Belco have heaps of new blokes from all over. Ainslie lost one and gained quite a few.

I reckon, AInslie to win consecutive premierships. They will play Demons again in main one. Tigers to drop out with GWS moving into top four with Swans then comes Belco, Tuggers and Tigers in that order.

watched a kid play for ainslie on saturday by the name of Stuart Grey, looks the goods

 

[FootyFullOn]

Who else is making predictions for the makeup of ladder at seasons end?

 

[Watcher 22]

............. plus Fixter to there on ball division .

Is Ben Fixter here, I hear yes/no/yes/maybe/yes/no. I heard he was back in Holbrook or similar?

I'll get back to you shortly FFO, I reckon GWS is the hard one to rank, they'll be fit and have some great talent, but I reckon they'll be sore by about Round 10!

Is Ben Fixter here, I hear yes/no/yes/maybe/yes/no. I heard he was back in Holbrook or similar?

I heard he was in Albury with the Tigers?
Could be making the move up here?

We arent sure if anyone has noticed but A Bit High has been unusually quiet on here of late. We have had word that the new Queanbeyan Coach has asked that A Bit High refrain from commenting on Queanbeyan football in this forum. from the word is that his young group will find this distracting, and he has been asked to stop post haste.

Michael G, can you shed any light from the coaches perspective?

 

[A Bit High]

The above is 100% B.S

 

[Carrot lamp]

Everyone has been fairly quiet of late. Any practice matches played this week? Results?

Tuggies played Coolamon yesterday. Only watched the first qtr. but Tugg were well on top early.

Curtain raiser was Tugg (Div 2) V Woden (Div 3) with Tugg winners by about 9 goals.

Speed Racer - in the words of Shultz from Hogan's Heroes..."I know nussink!!" I can neither confirm nor deny your rumour.

As a coaching panel we are very honest with our playing group, giving praise where it is due and constructive criticism where it is waranted. The boys, to their credit, have been very good when we've had to let them know about deficiences that we've seen and areas we want them to improve in.

Having read this forum for a couple of years now, while I haven't been involved with Qbn, I think ABH has followed the same philosophy, giving appropriate measures of praise and criticism at times so I can't see any problem if he continues to post in the same fashion.

On a footy note, we were dissapointing against Eastlake on the weekend but we know exactly where things went wrong so will be able to address those issues. Eastlake played pretty well. They'll stretch a lot of defences when they go with their tall forward set up, which included a rejuvenated Stafford Cooper who looked pretty good for an old bloke. I can say that because we played against each other that many years ago that I care not to remember. Suffice to say that there are kids playing first grade footy at the moment who weren't even born when we first stood each other. He still looks fit and is very dangerous on the field, while I'm more likely to tear something on the way from the coaches box these days.

On another note (I haven't quite got the umpire side of my brain completely out of the system yet) what does everyone think of the interpretation of "advantage" this year. Personally I don't like it. I think it should still be the umpire's call, not the player receiving or picking up the ball. That's just my two cents worth from a playing/coaching perspective.

Also, I hear that in all grades Div 2 and below a yellow card/red card system will be implemented by round one. My understanding (and I'm sure it will be clarified in the next few weeks or corrected on this forum if I've got it wrong) is that a yellow card will be issued for reportable offences and also for some lesser offences. A yellow card will be used like the sin bin in Rugby League and will mean the player will be sent to the bench for 15 mins. He can be replaced on the field though. A red card will be automatic for anyone who gets two yellows or commits a serious offence. Red will mean that the player is sent off for the rest of the match, plus for a 15 minute period he cannot be replaced on the field (his teams plays one short for 15 minutes).

If this is the way it is going to operate it sounds pretty harsh but fair to me. What does everyone else think?

Cheers,
Gois

Advantage rule joke,card rule even bigger joke and while im laughing why is it not being introduced in div 1.

 

[dead eyed dick]

This rule was used in the old monaro days with send offs for serious offences. Young umpires are going to be hard pressed to send off some of the older players with reputations, not neccessarially reps for foul play but the well credentialled player that this kid may have heard of in the past for a temporary brain explosion, but a neville may not be afforded the same leniency. Leaves the whole thing open to interpretation and therefore very dangerous. At least with a report the umpire is not the judge and jury. What happens in the situation in a tight game with 20 minutes to go and a send off occurs team with less players loses and the player is then found not guilty at the tribuneral. Any takers.
