well well well, I feel a little bit disturbed by your last few comments as you are no dought one of the great park footballers as you have played for the mighty PORT COLTS.
Why did you leave the colts to play at SMD if they were such a great side, or why did you leave SMD to play at the colts in the first place. It would not have been the $$$$'s would it.
I look foward to your reply

Mate, the one thing i didnt leave for was $$$$$$$$$. You would know this if you knew what i actually got paid. Money never came into my mind. I actually left to play with some mates i played junior football with and also a few boys went to school with and to also play some better football. I loved the 2 years i played at the Colts and some people there are some of the nicest people i have ever met.
The reason i came back to SMD is that i didnt like the direction the colts were going and i wasnt really enjoying my football. If you wanna know what i meant by that you can PM cause i wont elaborate on a public forum. It was aslo a chance to play with all my best mates that i have grown up with.
If money was ever an issue i would of stayed at Colts but i think people who play for money are a joke. You play to play with your mates and have a laugh.
Is that a good enough reason to A) Go play with the Colts and B) Come back to SMD
Saw this done on another Thread, so I thought I would look at the same for D2.
The following is the total amount of players who have played in all six plus five of six games.
Banyule 11+9 = 20
South 13+6 = 19
Salesian 11+8 = 19
Aquinus 9+9 = 18
St Johns 11+7 = 18
St Leo's 12+5 = 17
Glen Eira 9+7 = 16
Williamstown 10+6 = 16
Werribee 9+6 = 15
Bentleigh 11+4 = 15
Gives a good indication of injuries and stability of the playing group.
A few surprises, South with 19 (we hear alot about their injurys on here). Salesian with 19 (have been sticking with regular players) and Werribee withh only 15 players (maybe due to having strong 2's pushing for selection).

That is a quality email mate - other than Kibe's tips the only thing Ive understood on the last 20 posts!!
From the stats Salesian certainly seem to be going with their regulars, and Werribee either having alot of players around the mark or performing well with a few injuries on the list.
I'll tip tomorrow with reference to Jono Healey's record odds.

What are you on about Saints.
You state that you loved your 2 years at the Colts, however, in the next sentence you claim you left because you weren't really enjoying your football (make up your mind).
You also state that people who play for money are a joke, yet your post indicates that you were being paid while at Colts. Did you offer to play for nothing because the main reason you were there was to play with your best mates that you grew up with?????
By the way, I agree with Drifter. Game On's breakdown is very interesting. Well done.

What drugs are you on saint? In your attempt to make some sort of a point, you out smarted yourself!
You admitted to getting payed at colts then in the next breath you tell us how people who play for money are a joke. So are you a joke??
Best think about what you write and not contradict yourself next time!

Really good post mate. very interesting to see werribee with only 9 having played all 6. should only be on the improve you would think. bentleigh can also take something out of that as well.
i can try and offfer a possible reason for south having the 13 play all 6 and still state so many injuries. we have been lucky with having a base of players stay relatively injury free, this has been very fortunate. however on the other hand we are trading injuries of sorts. when one player has come back in, another has gone out. it would be interesting to see the other side of the coin and see how many players have played 1 2 or 3 games.
there are three or four players from last years granny that are yet to play a senior game, having expressed their interest to play on this year, through injury or other reasons.
anyway, well done 'game on' keep up the investigatory reports mate.

very good points made there saints. People if you read it properly it makes sense. Very good clubman who will be an integral part of our year.
What i meant by the money is that people who play for the sole reason of getting paid are a joke. That WAS NOT my reason, it was just a fact of playing outside of the VAFA and i was on base pay which would not fill your car up with petrol.
And yes i DID love playing with the Colts, they are a great club but again as i said i wasnt enjoying my footy toward the end for other reasons outside of the club so decided that it might be better to go play where i have played over 200 junior games and have a bit a laugh with playing with the blokes i have known for 12 years.

Well said. Saints you are proving you are now enjoying your footy with some good performance. hopefully there will be more to come very soon.
Now before anyone else goes all oprah on us can we change the topic.
does anyone still think there is a clear favourite in the division.
my opinion has changed 5 times. makes me think that a clear favourite isnt out there.
werribee and glen eira have impressed me the most so far. GE boys had a genuine crack all day while werribee have got to be the best drilled team in the comp.
any thoughts

Aquinas, Werribee and Glen Eira with the equal least on 9 to have played all games. I think the quality of players is important also.

Nice editing. Why the change of heart?

I think anyone can win on the day. I think Bentleigh only just falling short against Aquinas at Aquinas shows that once a side gets some players back anyone can win.
The ladder is fairly close apart from the top 2. Long way to go yet.
Prob relised who could be feeding it down his throat when he gets back from injury
Hey saints,
I need a ticket to get home from work tonight, you seem to have a few on yourself, can I borrow one??

Love it! Game on.......game on.
Mate i'm not from this division but reading your posts i think the people replying are out of whack.
Alot of people in the ammos dont know what its like when your playing in a team full of players who get paid. There is many issues that come about from this, jealousy and the likes.....
I think its great you went and played in a very successful team, last years premiers with some high quality players and to come back to getting paid nothing and having a blast with your mates hats off mate!!
Good luck to all this week!

whhat doesnt make sense ?
1. what he was sayin is that he's not one for blokes that go from club to club asking for huge coin while rippen the heart out of the club
2.you can love a club and still not enjoy your footy injured ? down on form ? maybe
3. read the post properly he went to colts to play with mates from school etc the guys he grew up with his best mates are actually at the districts
4. if he did want to play for money then he could have stayed at the colts and asked for some coin....
anyway saints all the best mate sopefully we pull on the same jumper again soon ledge

Sounds like a VAFA enquiry required down @ the districts because, correct me if I am wrong, but I thought that in order to be registered with the VAFA you have to sign a declaration that you have not been a paid player, or something similar

I think that was indeed the ruling up until recently but it has been slackened quite a bit in the last year or two, where players can play for coin and come back to the ammos, but if they leave again for money a 2nd time they can't come back? at least i think that's how it works.
So what your trying to tell me is that players who where previously paid cannot play in the ammos... No logic at all there.
How about past AFL players playing.
Its got nothing to do with what happened previously, its all about what happens that year,
Investigation, well mate you better get onto just about every team from D4 through to A and chase up about the 1000 players who are now playing that used to get coin....

if you read my post again i think you'll see that i said players who were previously paid CAN play in the ammos. i believe there are also rules relating to players coming down from a higher competition e.g. AFL, VFL, where the payment thing can be overlooked.
I was told that coming back this time was fine but if i were to leave again and get paid i would most prob not be alowed to play in the VAFA again. With that though you can go and plead your case to the VAFA.

The editing was a result of someone else... its not hard to think who... logged into my account and changed my post.
sh!t effort but sometimes light hearted fun can be taken the wrong way.
good luck to everyone for tommorow's matches.
it is getting to the time of the year we you get to know where abouts you sit.
A warning to players in the banyule 2's stay away from the skinniest man on the field. he is commonly referred to as FB (not fullback) and may have diseases growing on his right hand.
