Dylan Gorden is an average player from Darwin won't like it come June though when it's wet. .


Well done to Dylan for his BOG performance for VIC Country U/19's against the Ammo's on the weekend. The club & I am sure the league are very proud of your efforts. Not a bad effort don't you think Bendigo Bomber? Representative of the YVMDFNL interleague squad & a telling display for the VIC country U19's. Oops it is July though:eek:
 
A few huge weeks coming up for Div1.
Going to be touch and go for a few teams firstly to make finals and also avoid relegation.
Olinda, Hville and Belgrave all have destiny in their own hands.
Olinda don't want to get into a position where they are relying on teams to lose as they have Wandin rnd 18.
Can't see Wandin resting too many last round knowing they will have a week off the week after.
Belgrave/H/ville this week, Upwey H/Ville and Olinda H/ville all start becoming 8 point games which always begs the question why they weren't 8 point games earlier in the season.
I think with Belgrave having a 1 game buffer and pretty good %, they should be all good for the 5.
also think they have a slightly better draw than Olinda and H/Ville.
Upwey have softer rnd 17 & 18 but have a finals series to play before that but by getting a shot at both Olinda and H/Ville, they could just sneak in.
Another great season unfolding.
 
BELGRAVE V HEALSVILLE must win game for both BELGRAVE at home
WARBURTON V MT EV whoever wins will be out of the relegation stakes WARBURTON at home
OLINDA V WOORI WOORI to flex there muscles in the mud pit
UPWEY V WANDIN upset here i reckon UPWEY to win at home like last year. WANDIN are due to be picked off
YARRA GLEN V MONBULK percentage boost for MONBULK

Winning, as always, will be important, but winning margins will be important too. With Woori, Healesville, Olinda and Belgrave all on 7 wins they all could end up on 10 or 11 wins each. Percentage could be the difference between finishing 3rd and a double chance, or 6th and missing out. Same goes for the foot of the table with Mount Evelyn and Yarra Glen not wanting to get big scores kicked against them. Upwey would have to come from a fair way back as they're now 2 games and a decent percentage off 5th, but it would take a braver man than me to write Upwey off with 5 rounds to play.

No goals in the last quarter of the Olinda - Woori game. Was it a heavy track, a dour affair, poor kicking for goal, the cue had been put in the rack or a combination of all of these?
 
The ground was a bit muddy and sticky in patches but not a boghole. The game itself had become a bit scrambly with a lot of defensive play and was just not one of your classic free-flowing games. Credit to Olinda for grabbing what probably didn't look like a potential win on paper and whilst not wanting to take anything away from them, Woori did have more outs than the English batting team.
 
7 scoring shots to 4 in the last quarter wouldn't say it was heavily contested could've easily been 4.3 to 3.1 couple of posters and the rest missed opportunities
Who was out besides sneddon? Wooris depth looked worrying

And to continue the cricketing pun; Woori and Monbulk don't bat very deep. A couple of injuries could derail their finals hopes.
 
Quite true - I had Monbulk reserves a few weeks ago and the team manager was also playing and also said they were waiting on a few kids from the u/18's to make up the rest of the team. Credit to these clubs who juggle limited resources to get 3 teams out on the park each week but like you say, you only need a few doses of the flu and a couple of leg injuries which leaves the sides position on the ladder a little vulnerable.

HEALESVILLE V UPWEY H'VILLE to well and truly snuff out upweys finals chances
YARRA GLEN v WOORI YALLOCK WOORI to get back on the winners list
MONBULK V WARBURTON MONBULK easily
MOUNT EV V OLINDA OLINDA to continue there good form
WANDIN V BELGRAVE I'll tip WANDIN in a thriller
 
BULK - burt: burt looked all right last week, but BULK too good in this one
LES - weyt: yes, this is the end for weyt
glen - RIYA: RIYA has lost four in a row for the first time in ten years, but surely must win here?
eve - LINDA: eve v. disappointing last week and is still only one upset glen win away from being dewheeled
ANDI - elgra: will elgra make a dent on ANDI? Most likely not.

lexa - EVIL: well done to lexa last week, but EVIL is back in town. Maybe too late to make the finals though.
MERA - raju: one-way traffic here
glak-NEIL: NEIL look too strong
ea-OCKA: ea might surprise at home, but OCKA needs to bounce back

Unless something dramatic happens then the top two won't change and the interest is only to be how 4 fit into 3.

Healesville (7 wins 6 losses) play Upwey (H), Monbulk (H), Warby (A), Olinda (A), Woori (H) - likely 3 wins and two doubtful
Olinda (7/6) play Mt.Evelyn (A), Upwey (A), Yarra Glen (A), Healesville (H), Wandin (A) - likely 3 wins, 1 doubtful and 1 loss
Woori (7/6) play Yarra Glen (A), Warby (H), Upwey (A), Mt Evelyn (H), Healesville (A) - likely 3 wins and 2 doubtful
Belgrave (7/6) play Wandin (A), Mt.Evelyn (H), Monbulk (A), Yarra Glen (A), Warby (H) - likely 3 wins and two losses
Upwey (5/8) play Healesville (A), Olinda (H), Woori (H), Warby (A), Yarra Glen (H) - likely 1 win 4 doubtful

Upwey's home games against Olinda and Woori will have a big bearing. No longer as formidable at home as years gone by but still not the happiest of hunting grounds for Bloods and Valley Tigers.

Healesville won't mind Monbulk and Woori at Don Road as much as Olinda on the mountain.

Although Olinda will struggle in the final round they are more than likely going to notch 4 more wins by then to be safe.

Woori are starting to splutter a bit and away games against Upwey and Healesville may test them, need to get injured players back.

Belgrave should beat the bottom 3 and lose to the top 2 away.

Possible final ladder to remain in same order as currently:
Wandin 18-0
Monbulk 14-4
Healesville 11-7
Olinda 11-7
Woori 10-8
Belgrave 10-8

Big games coming up (too close to call):
R15 Healesville v Monbulk and Upwey v Olinda
R16 Upwey v Woori
R17 Olinda v Healesville
R18 Healesville v Woori looks a possibility of deciding whether teams make the qualifying final or miss out all together.

Mouth, Due to Healesville's strong percentage I can't see them missing out altogether, Elimination Final at the least unless they lose all three to Monbulk, Olinda and Woori - two of which are at home and their away win against Belgrave last up was impressive.
