wesley beat GG this weekend by about 40 points, they were up by 8 points at half time then wesley ran out the game much better. the fitness of the wesley team must be one of the keys to there wins.

Does not sound right GC haven't played wesley yet and GC are undefeated.

GC are playing St Kevins this weekend at St Kevins. Who ever wins that will challenge Wesley for top spot at the end of the season.
 
Wesley v melbourne looms as an intriguing encouter with some of the boys from the team and the cheer squads of both schools embroiled in a punch on the weekend. with tempers still flaring it promises to be a fiery encounter on the field, if not, off the field

what exactly happened?

Here's the article:
Tigers president Gary March even has young Martin staying at the family home in Middle Park, in order to ensure the lad is happy in Melbourne.
Richmond's battle to keep hands off its budding stars doesn't come close to being the biggest spat over young players in football.

The AFL and Melbourne's prestigious Associated Public Schools are at loggerheads over access to schoolboy players, and a memorandum of understanding between the parties could soon be torn up as a result.
The APS has been a rich source of talent over the years. Chris Judd and Brendon Goddard went to Caulfield Grammar. Jobe Watson and Luke Ball attended Xavier. St Kevin's was the school of Brad Scott and brother Chris. You could spend hours compiling a list of APS schoolboys who made it to the AFL/VFL.

A ''gentlemen's agreement'' was reached between the APS and AFL over availability, but a number of principals claim the AFL has not been true to its word. Under a memorandum of understanding between the APS and AFL, the league allows boys to represent their school ahead of their TAC Cup club when fixtures clash. In return, the APS allows its schoolboys to attend TAC training once a week and makes the boys available for one of two Victorian squad trial games. This year the first trial match was played on April 17 - an APS practice round - and thus the schools fulfilled their side of the agreement.

Unfortunately the coach of the Victorian team, former Essendon player Anton Grbac, insisted that APS players also turn out for the second trial match on Sunday, May 16. As a result, APS boys missed the fourth round of the school competition, in contravention of the MoU. The schools have cried foul. Breaching such an agreement is certainly not considered good form by those who run Melbourne's finer private schools.

Among the hardest hit was St Kevin's in Toorak, which lost three star players for its clash with Wesley College, one of the teams to beat this season. St Kevin's went into the match without Thomas Liberatore and Mitch Wallis, the respective sons of former Western Bulldogs stars Tony Liberatore and Steven Wallis, and another shining light in Dylan Conway.

Wesley lost just one player to the Victorian trial match, and beat St Kevin's by 14 points, ending their premiership hopes. ''That was pretty much season over,'' said a source at St Kevin's. The school is fuming because young Liberatore and Wallis, who also play for Calder Cannons, are almost certain to be taken as father-son selections by the Bulldogs next year. The club has even set aside Libba's No. 39 and Wallis' No. 24 guernseys for the boys.

''What's the point in Liberatore playing a quarter-and-a-half of footy in front of AFL talent scouts when everyone knows he's going to the Bulldogs anyhow?'' said a source close to the school. The AFL is learning just how seriously Melbourne's well-heeled schools take their footy. A full review of the MoU with the AFL is planned by the APS and it seems a few TAC teams will have buckley's chance of getting any schoolboys to training next season.

''As far as we are concerned, that piece of paper signed by the AFL is about as effective as Neville Chamberlain's 1938 Munich agreement with Hitler,'' Sporting Life was told.

yeah had a read, didn't please me very much. year after year schools face the same conflicting commitments from their players. certainly didn't warrant a piece in the age. the article just sounds like sour grapes really. not a fan.:thumbsdown: don't think many skevs boys would be either- doesn't do them any favours having that sort of thing written.

orval, gotch, patone (one to watch, was injured all last year, has a booming left foot), and recent recruits jordan kelly and tom thorsen...

alright then, 7.
 
Hey Guys,
i know Kelly & Shiels both played. in fact Shiels kicked seven goals under the nose of Grubby Allan. looks like he is a certainty to go to GWS as one of their 17 year olds.
 
heard of an up and coming star sam maley?
recently added to the caulfield grammar side, been following him for a while, looks fairly promising, strong over the footy, good skills.

look to see him on the wing.
