Great to see all the haters jump on a club and kick it while it is down, very quick to forget the proud history of one of the longest surving clubs in the valley. Good on the bloods for fighting it out, proud as to be a part of this great club culture. What have your clubs achieved at a decent level in the last 5-10 years? I don’t remember anyone being anything other than supportive when your chips were down. Looking forward to getting a few players back from injury and taking a few of these scalps to shut a few negative mouths.
I am unsure of what you are saying, are you meaning "longest serving or longest surviving club ' in the valley. I am not bagging lalor, however they only joined the diamond valley in 1968. A lot of clubs have been around longer.
 
Will Lalor win another game ??
Without giving this too much oxygen... We have played Laurimar, Reservoir, West and now will face Panton Hill - Fixture hasn't been overly kind to a club that collectively won 3 games in 2018 but that's not an issue at all, better to challenge against the best early days i believe... Three of the four clubs will be fighting out the top slots in my opinion. Its still very early days and every club has improved this year (including Reservoir) which is a healthy state for the comp.

After hearing their very cocky and arrogant supporters through the first quarter it was good to see the game pan out exactly like most expected. 100 points behind west. The old coach of west took his nothing gameplan across to lalor and it really showed, west had injuries aswell so can’t be blaming that. With a very similar list now getting the right coaching west seem to be vying for that top 2 spot come finals time. Can’t wait for the season to play out

Ben backtracking again with your comments 🤦‍♂️, starting to make a fool out of yourself

Also any chance the coach’s Nephew could actually earn his spot, seems like his gifted games...

I'm not stressing too much about comments from faceless people - Its pretty easy to throw stones from behind a wall, helping build one is a little braver.

Top Deck, i'm far from foolish mate and taking direct pot shots at an 18 year old on social media is about as weak as it gets on a footy forum.

You know me by first name, are you going to share yours Mr.Keyboard.........? Thought so, gutless.

Couldn’t agree more pot shots at young blokes is a weak effort..!!

Especially when it’s in a public forum..!!!

Pretty sad really!!!!

It is a pretty clear and direct club rebuild Lalor has taken on. It’s all about sustainability from where I sit.

Without a solid junior pathway especially with the points systsem expecting to buy flags and continue to raise through the ranks is going to be very very tough.

Look at what happened to Reservior after their flag. While it’s a tempting path to gain quick success it can leave the club far worse off.

As always, very balanced opinion... With help from the Lalor Bowling Club and Epping McDonalds, we have just invested $3000+ into pathway programs and Auskick - To give the direction context, we wont see some of these kids at senior level until 2030. Guess i'll just have to look foolish until then...

It's round 4 ffs.... Wait til Rd 10-11 til people judge lalor.... Panton hill next then South Morang. Two tough matches.
 
Imagine the fixture was kind to them and they had

Reservoir.. eltham... mernda... etc

You guys would be on here saying wow..

I don’t think Mernda and Eltham are
guaranteed wins like your penciling Lalor in for here. Both have probably suprised in their own way from what was expected pre season

I feel the top three are stand outs, fairly even though the rest of the comp but it’s only very early... agree that no game is a walk up start (including Reservior, they battled well) - Depth may play a part in who grabs fourth spot...?!?

Blaming the fixturing is just another excuse. South morang a tough match? who drew with turtles, with Kilmore knocking off turtles and just losing to Morang who lost by a kick to West. Looks like a season of tough matches, how dare the league create such a hard fixture for Lalor! If only it said v Rezza every round then it would be fair??
Players shouldn't have to feel the heat with all this preseason expectation. Only damaging the look of the club from the outside with all this optimism. Building the vibes and culture within is great but its unjustified when people come on here with the comments they say talking them up to be what they aren't.

Agree with your points, not every opinion on here is from a club official as much as we’d like it to be...

We requested a fixture that the NFNL accomodate for beautifully, no problems there from my point of veiw.

Damaging the club with optimism, promotions and recruits... Well, that’s a bit of a strech.

I think the problem has occurred in some articles with the coach being quoted as saying Lalor will match it with the better sides and push for 3-4th spot after beating Reservoir. That puts a puts a target on your back. Promotion is critical but doing so in the right way is the difference. Auskick and the junior/primary school affiliation and along with some of the great community work I have noticed pop up is some of the very best stuff I’ve seen. Perhaps the hype up of the on field stuff needs to be toned down and allow the results do the talking.
