Congrats to Powelly on the Div 2 flag. Glad its over to be honest with the crap being written on here lately. Arrogance from one side and whinging from another got boring. Time to move aside and watch the adults play finals. Wandin any chance this week? Woori straight sets? Can the Bloods...
My understanding is that there is a feeling that Warby & Powelly dont like each other much. Any other clubs supporters would likely take an interest in how this game will go and more than likely, drop into watch it. Being at Broadford i highly doubt that is the case. Not only is it...
Agree that the forum is negative at the minute but give me a positive spin on a 5 team Division 2? Also what a mistake it must be to have Div 2 as its own stand alone competition. In the past 2 years Belgrave has gone 0 wins from 28 games in the seniors and only 6 wins by their Reserves in...
Nice write up Maestro. I mentioned weeks ago that Div 2 & Premier were all but over. Powelly & Narre were a sure thing. Nothing much has changed. It may be close up to 1/2 time but Powellly will pull away for a minimum 6 goal win (could get even uglier late when Kinglake know the flag has...
Great Info Bunk. You are right about YVMDFL being broken up. It seems one mess has now become a giant shambles across many clubs. Would be interesting to know if any of the orginal YVMDFL clubs are happy with the way the league has ended up compared to before the merger
Thanks Bunk. Looking through the history of the comp it seemed that most clubs had won multiple flags from the year 2000 on & at least every club had won at least 1. All these clubs are looking for a new home when it seems that the home they had was more than suitable.
If a player punches someone in the crowd from over the fence i would be disappointed in my club if that player remains. After seeing a player in another league recently get chased by supporters and set upon in the carpark after the game, things can turn ugly quick. Punching a spectator can...
Nice Summary. I think all eyes should be on Division 1. I would be locking Narre Warren & Powelly in as premiers. It is down to only one division up for grabs now
Are other towns along the Warburton Highway included? Wesburn, Launching Place, Seville East etc? Is there also a way of looking at the age demographic of those numbers? Easy enough to search a town like Woori Yallock. But with Launching Place next door it would double the population i would...
Cutting points wont work. Berwick had a team of all 1 point players. From the team the teams picked on the weekend the points were
Berwick 22
W.Y 26
Narre 29
Wandin, Upwey Cran 31
Healesville 32
Beacy 36
Berwick & Narre with plenty of room to move plus huge depth with their Reserves. Points...
There are clubs right through Victoria every week that are going to games knowing they will get smashed every week. Why do they do it? Because of the love for the CLUB. A badge of honor to get a team together to have a crack rather than let the club forfeit. Old timers/legends of the club...
Don't see how it will be any different from previous years. The top teams in Div 1 Yarra Ranges have been making an absolute mess of the bottom teams for years. Maybe the shoe will be on the other foot for a change.
If at the start of the season someone told me that i could play in a Grand Final but it would be against Healesville @ Healesville, Woori @ Woori or even Olinda @ Olinda, i wouldn't hesitate to say "Where do i sign up!!!"
Speaking of match payments what does everyone think of the salary cap for next year. League has made it known for next year it looks like being
Division 1- $120,000
Division 2- $80,000
Early call but to this point is correct. Powelly sitting 2nd last. Massive game against Yarra Junction today at Powelltown. The old 8 point game. I would imagine a cold, muddy day up at Powelly today. Not a day for skills but who wants the contest more. Will be a big result either way.
There could be a few teething issues with Healesville early. From the GF team to last weeks team there were 9 or 10 different players. Could take a little to gel. They did win 2 out of the 4 qtrs & drew the last qtr. Failing to stop Upwey's momentum in the 2nd cost them the game. After 1...
As of Wednesday afternoon Warby's ground was in great condition. Dried out nicely, mowed & would of had 2 weeks since a game was played and no training on it this week. Would of been perfect.....then had close to 2 inches of rain on Thursday. Will be cactus by the senior game on Saturday...
Thanks for clearing that up Man In White. I think you are right with the confusion hence why I haven't seen it for a while. It would be interesting if we asked a group of players regarding the deliberate rule if they actually know the rules. My guess is some might know you can punch the ball...
Just a question for the forum. I saw a game over the weekend where at a stoppage in front of goal the defending team had a player jump up at the ruck contest and knock the ball through the points on the full. It seemed unusual at the time as I haven't seen it done for a while. Is it against...
Wandin
Monbulk
Olinda
Upwey
Woori
Mt Evelyn
Belgrave
Warby
Yarra Glen
Healesville
Wandin clearly on top. 6 teams to fight out the remaining 4 finals positions. Any of the last 3 in danger of relegation
Not necessarily Man In White. I think there could still be room for a playing coach. Danny Ryan has done pretty well at Woori the last 5 odd years. The emphasis must be put on the word coach however. It shows a disciplined, well drilled, well coached team with less talent can be extremely...
Really good move by Wandin. It has been proven over the last few years that Jugga cant coach. That side is a minimum 5 goal better side than any other and to have a finals record of 1 win & 4 losses is not good enough. To appoint someone who can coach, as well as keep Jugga who credit where...
Interesting point mouth. The league doesn't have to intercept it as such because as part of the finals eligibility you don't have to take to the field. However you must be in full club uniform and be on the bench for the game to qualify. If he has been sitting on the bench in the 2's then it...
Upwey just getting a little back after their U/18's & Reserves have given out plenty from the hill at their home ground over the years. There are venues all around where you would expect a bit of banter with the likes of the hills of Wandin, Upwey & Mt Eve to name a few. You can guarantee of...
Wandin have settled nicely now and are flag fav's in my opinion. Upwey have been wobbly of late but woke up on the weekend. With some injuries to key players can Monbulk hold on? Mt Eve are there to pounce on anyone who stumbles on the way home. Emerald now look gone. 3 games behind and a...
