Nice try at evasion HBW. 'Rabbit Clifton' knows exactly what he did (disgraceful and cowardly is not an exaggeration) and worse he knows exactly how he reacted (rabbit is kind)
His team mates will see it when they watch the video and be embarrassed.
As for rd 18, its real relevance will be the collective clearing of Keilor Hill throats as that choking feeling begins. Importing of Condos and Cooper will not be enough to support the mass knee wobbles that start every spring.
Too be honest I don't think any of the OEG boys even care about "what he did." I have absolutely no idea "what he did" and the fact that you blokes have devoted 4 posts to talking about "what he did" without even mentioning "what he did" suggests that either you don't know or you know others will laugh it off anyway. If it's that bad then come out and let us know.

As for OEG watching the tape I doubt they would bother, they won't find anything of relevance to a hard contest or tough footy from last weeks game anyway.

Chokingly yours,

HBW

Accurate 1...I think you are making an absolute mountain out of a molehill... "Disgraceful" is a very strong word, and the incident you speak of was not great, but worthy of no more than a free kick. A player who has exhibited nothing but fairness (despite this minor indiscretion) throughout a pretty successful career does not deserve such comments from yourself. to say his reaction was "Rabbit-like" is ridiculous....what should he do??? he got on with the game...I think everyone involved in this thread needs to move on....there's a lot of time between now and the next meeting....both teams have much more to worry about than such a minor incident....

Good points there HBW

St Bernard's have also been playing the "injuries" card.....

I don't doubt those listed by Mr Kanoute would have enhanced the talent St Bernard's put on the park, however injuries are a part of football.

It is unrealistic to expect to have your best 22 fully fit and firing week after week in such a long season, and at the end of the day it comes down to how those injuries are managed.

It may be ideal to consider how potent a team may be with certain players available, but come round 18 (or finals) I would be very surprised if St Bernard's (or any other team for that matter) are able to place their best team on the park.
3 pretty important players were out though JT.

How did Essendon go in their last game without McVeigh, Lucas and Fletcher???

I think you may be missing my point Ozza.

Many of the St Bernards faithful claimed, including on this forum, that injuries in the latter half of last year contributed to their relegation. This may be so -I'm not entirely sure/ convinced.

Irrespective, we all know injuries will contribute to a team's performance throughout a season, and they will impact match-turning players.

However, instead of St Bernard's blaming injuries and having a hindsight rematch discussing "if Player X had played it would have been a X goal contribution", it may be more prudent to accept the result and focus on the next game acknowledging that, as I stated before, it is very unlikely that any team will field it's best 22 throughout the course of a season.

I wasn't missing your point digs - just stating that they were pretty important players being out that probably contributed to the lopsided result. You can manage without one of your best 3, maybe even 2 of your best 5 - but misisng all of those makes a huge difference.

In any case, I'm not aligned to either club - so I couldn't really care less. But I think come finals time - you may see a different sort of St.Bernards outfit.

Agreed Oz, they are 3 very good players that Bernies had out, but aspreviously said, that's football. Let's hope that come round 18, both teams have full sides in and are flying in to finals.

I think the statement about Bernards being gone is rediculous. They are obviously a good side that were just beaten on the day. I don't think too much should be read in to OEG's win, nor their good start to the year. As TBP said, there are a number of teams that will be in the race to finals. Premiership's aren't won in May.

Let's wait till August/September and then start casting dispersions and/or predictions as to who finalists might be. As they say, a week is a long time in footy, so 13 weeks is a f*cking lifetime!

I'm sure he'll be shaking in his boots.

Generally soft? The only fight St Bernards showed all day was in that scuffle in the pocket and even then they were well beaten. You blokes were bashed all day and hardly fired a shot. I'm sure the OEG boys will be looking forward to Round 18, hopefully ending your finals hopes.

Too true HBW, have watched Bernards a bit over the years and they dont have that imposing physical presence as they were once renowned for.They are a younger unit but what they wouldnt give for another pair of Gollant brothers ...

Knowing that Brian is the 3/5 King...best you pencil Marcellin and Caulfield in for wins, as i cant see OEG, St.B's or OH slipping up against 3 of the weaker teams :D

A very defining round of footy this week, were if my predications prove correct 4 sides could 'snuggle' into the top bracket and be hard to chase down...yeah yeah I know, only 6th round but these teams are really applying the acid test to the rest.

OEG vs SKOB (48 points)

I realise SKOB's are a protected species on this site so i will go gentle - they are not showing any fight at the moment, slow through the spine, poor at the hard ball and lack any initiative on attack. I'll keep debating Sheehy, Dowd, and D.Mount but things have to change. Interesting if they bring S.Mount, Dole & Aughton up to spark something. OEG going very well especially their forward T-Bone set up - just makes it so clean for Condos to step through but more importantly allow Willo and the Glasser to sneak around and pick up the left overs.

Old Camb. vs Caulfield (10 points)

AA will be going to AA if they do not get up this week - so much at stake here with CG going for the chance to go 2 up on OC & OM if they get over the line here. Good to see Goldbatt step up last week and my favorite player at the minute Miriklis doing his damage again as with Loats. CG good I suppose last week, however Sinclair and Slevin were just given to much space in their forward 50 last week by all reports. If you are prepared to play Sinclair from behind in a marking contest then you might as well stay down and work out where the mark is. Midfield will need to rush down and fill the space and be prepared to cop a few knees in the ribs if they want it. Foote also dangerous at the moment and goes under the radar around town.

OH vs Old Carey (15 points)

Match of the round where Carey need a win to keep them in the hunt, whereas OH may consolidate their early 'sleeper' form and settle in a nice 1 out and 1 back position. Reid and Freeman should hold the key for OC whilst OH need some of their early good players to get back into the fray i.e. Warnes, Brewer etc and Baptist to step up now in this important game.

StB vs OM's (35 points)

Good to see KcKie step up last week after my 'shove', needs to keep going as does Lawler who should feel lucky at the moment. Snowdogs will just have too many players keen on getting back on track after a good effort last week - game plan restructures based on what they saw last week will not doubt be in force over next 3-4 weeks so OM's could take advantage, not sure. Like to see Cattapan, Baseggio and Jolly strike some form again.

Beauy vs Marcellin (90 points)

Marcellin, the darlin side of B Grade at the minute, are looking gorgeous and will continue on their winning way here. Crapper & Montagna the keys and the game will allow them to influence their skills here with toughy Jarred stepping up. Beauy, well I praised them for their 63% goal conversion last week and they came out and kicked 11.21..thanks fella's...they seem to be camera shy when looking the goods.They missed out on a fairytale start to the season last week and will now be 'Crappering' themselves here on in to sneak wins and away from Camb & OM's.. not this week though.

Reckon OMs have a chance against the bernies this week. Oms have a few big blokes that can match the very middle size bernies.Especially if they have not got their 3 top players in.They must be good players because the bernies have convinced themselves they would have beaten OEG with them in.

all the best boys & girls

CC very well said.

Firstly, regarding all those comments about cliffo and his lil slip in. that is part of football. i think everyone has received and dished out some "cliffo shots".

Secondly, all these bernies telling the forum about injuries - did anyone consider some of the OEG boys out. i.e. teal. im sure someone will be able to fill us in on on others. nevertheless, injuries are part of football, and it seemed bernies didnt have enough depth in there team to match the talent and size of OEG.

TIPS:this week rain should make matches more interesting. more of a struggle.

OEG vs SKOB - id hope to see it rain for this match. the Biggs boys should dominate. i just cant see SKOB wining. but may be a close one. glassford and willow and obi should be the goal kickers. 41 points.

Old Camb. vs Caulfield - OC should be able to get over the line. big stakes for ladder moves for both teams. OC by 22 points.

OH vs Old Carey - OH too strong. probably been a bit disapointed not being able to beat both the dogs and the bombers. 33 points.

St Bernies vs OM's - no comment. 13 points.

Beauy vs Marcellin - marcellin too strong. think they, are better than ST B and maybe OH. good form. 45 points.


does anyone know if potter is in this week or not?

nobody said bernards would've won with certain players in. just may.....may have been closer. they were outplayed last week but i dont think the boys ar too worrid at the pit. they'll bounce back.
'marcellin too strong. think they, are better than ST B and maybe OH'
again, u idiot. did u not see the comprehensive 10 goal result stb v marc a few weeks ago. marcellin should win but they have to do a lot more than beat skevs at home to prove they are no.2

Couldn'tve said it better myself, Sinclair is on fire, one of the best pairs of hands going round. We're gonna have to pull out a big one though this week if we want to get over the line.

SKobs to cause the upset of the round in the rain over OEG who will have a big let down factor. Good time to get them after a week of gloating.

I hear that the boys at the Pit are more concerned about the Stage 5 tart restrictions which are perilously close to being upgraded to Stage 6. The recent divestment of Vinyl Bar has also dried up a main well and the drought now looks to extend into 2020.

This is a real concern with the St Bernard's 'Dirty Sexy Money' themed social function this weekend.

Mr Griffin and I are deep in talks to have myself and the rest of the N*Sync gang subcontracted to assist with the "sexy" element of this event.

Is this the same 'Missing Finals' who posted several scathing comments about Keilor and one of their favourites sons not long after the end of last season?! I believe it is and by this post you have just confirmed my suspicions all along.

See you at the engagement party this saturday night! Also, why do you post under 'The Lawyer' & 'Missing Finals'?
Tim Clinnick, who cares about your suspicions?

Cardio don't get too precious about receiving some contructive feedback from SKOB, your B grade knowledge is outstanding. That outstanding that i am thinking you are closer to home than i first thought???

OEG v SKOB - BIGGest upset of the year. They won't get a kick tomorrow.
Camberwell v Caulfield - Who knows what happens here. The Wellers may have the tall backs to stop the Fields if Deane-Johns is fit.
Haileybury v Carey - Old boys back at home to be too strong.
Bernards v OM's - Anyone who thinks OMs will get under 39 pts is clearly dreaming. Did Bernies beat them by some massive margin last time they met?
Beaumaris v Marcellin - Eagles are good side & very quick indeed. The rain may play in Beauys favour but will stick with the form line.
