D GRADE: Give me something...

[Conduct Unbecoming]

Good luck to both sides on the weekend. Should be a facinating game. Ugly will be there. Can I suggest Cramers front bar at half time for all bigfooty fans who are not participating in the game?

I will be there somewhere...maybe not at the bar, but I will be around.

 

[DG-Man]

DG and Geeves are in!

Weather report suggests a ripping day. 20 degress, no wind. Think both teams will be happy about this. OC will think this should suit the big boys and leading forwards, Wood, Angus and Bull. Whilst Rupo will fancy their pacy runners on top of the ground.

Intriguing. Mysterious conduct certainly becomes you!

 

[Bede me up]

Ugly,

you certainly can suggest Cramers front bar for all big footy fans not participating....

only problem is i'll probably be dashing for the TAB at half time.
(probably trying to load up on Rupo if they're within 10 points at half time)

Did I mention that Zipping will win the CAulfield Cup, Eremein the Cox Plate, and Yeats might win the Melbourne cup.......

Funny you should mention that Whippy - I jumped on Eskander.com yesterday and got myself a piece of that Spring Carnival action. I like the way you think.

KB - I noted your long memory in your post the other day. It's true, I did serve it up to Rupo earlier in the year. It takes a big man to admit when he's wrong, and I'm not a big man, so I will say that I still think Rupo have over achieved, it's just that I seem to have over estimated OGS and BT!

I stand by my other early season prediction in tipping OC for the flag. I actually think that they will not only win, but may bend the little boys over and give them a spanking. I am predicting a very healthy winning margin of 42 + points.

 

[Conduct Unbecoming]

Yes, and after pushing the OG bandwagon all year, I jumped off at exactly the right time DG. Now if only the stockmarket was that easy to pick a winner....Carey by 5 goals.

Agreed. Carey, as long as they don't bring their C game will ride Rupo like a pony, just like the rupo farm boys like it.

 

[OldMelburnian28]

Great work cowboy, i shall look forward to a beer in the saloon afterwards with all big footy contributors. The OM would like to post his own summary of the year but is just a little bit toey due to the last training run for 2006.

Perfect weather to hit a moving target, tackle some bags (and no not the one living at rupertswood mansion), support, encourage...and most of all enjoy it! The OM is excited!!!

 

[Half Back]

Half Back's GF Tip

I going with OC's. Whoever i pick loose to Rupo each week. OC's by plenty....

Sunbury will be rocking!!! (Shocking Joint)

Cheers Half Back!!!

 

[kingbrown]

DG Man perhaps we should do a winning margin competition , with the prize to be recommended by posters. KB says Rupo by 11pts and the prize a ticket to next years OG dinner dance!!!!

 

[twodogs13]

I haven't seen much D1 footy this year and haven't seen OC's but I know the rupo boys well and must tip them for the flag this year. OC can try to hit them hard but they can't get them all and Rupo have too many runners and will keep running all day. Collins is certainly a key and after captaining the last 2 losing grand finals will be hungrier than ever to snatch a win this year. In fact the team as a whole will be extremely hungry after the last 2 grand final appearances. No longer are they happy with just promotion, they want the silverware.

I hope OC are fit because they will need to run hard all day. Attack on the ball will help but it won't be enough on Preston Oval, the scene of Rupo's last 2 premierships (D4 2002 & U19 2003) A lot of the boys currently playing seniors played in that U 19 flag.

OC should have an advantage in the ruck and will need to exploit this. The T man can't do it all on his own.

Rupo by 20 points and The 'Good Kid' Daniel Burrowes or 'Captain Courageous' Dave Collins for BOG.

Go the Rooters!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[kingbrown]

Bede, how about you underestimated Rupo and not overestimated the others. I am sick of the continued lack of respect to Rupo including that ****er quill who called us upstarts in the Amateur book this week. You can all get stuffed, i have tried to be humble, i have tried to listen to most of your crap, we have proved we are a great club with a great future, with a great group of players. Carey will be bigger they will be stronger they will start favorites but we dont give a crap. Go Rupo.

 

[kingbrown]

All you clubs who put a ban on this funny thread: weak as ****. This is not life and death, it is the most enjoyable part of our life. Get stuffed!!

We will go into Saturday pumped, Dilana should have won Orange. Bundles Michelle B is a very good looking milf, with a very strong British accent, you would respect her commitment to the task greatly. Talk about workrate and the love for the game!!!!!!.

 

[The Tigers Nuts]

Well I don't care who wins, I'm going early to see the ressies and get in the mood to enjoy a cracking game of footy later.

Speaking of ressies, everyone seems to think the OG steamroller will continue, if I were a betting man I'd put a tenner on Mentonians for the upset. I wonder if any of the OM U19s are backing up after their own GF against Mazenod on Friday night? Be tired lads if they are.

Tigernuts

 

[can't mark can't kick]

Bundles, please relax, clearly when you make friends you don't hang on to them very long.

Why are you so aggressive?
Did geeves have a crack at your missus?

(maybe i should have said partner not missus, cos your preference could be anything, wildlife not excluded here)

Todays recommended listening Australian classic albums:
Midnight Oil's Head Injuries
Grinspoons better guide to living
You Am i's Satdee night round ten and
Hoodoo Guru's Mars needs Guitars

ROCK!! (and cool your heels bundle boy)

good choices there Whip

I'd go Sound As Ever and Stoneage Romeos

AC/DC - Powerage
Lobby Loyde - Ball Power
Rose Tattoo - Assault & Battery
Chain - Towards the Blues and
Bigger Than Jesus - Killervision

 

[can't mark can't kick]

Can't Mark Can't Kick,

Who will win Prahran's B&F? You've been a bit quiet lately, as has the legendary Midas....

didn't realise you guys had been missing me, been flat out looking at pr0n.

well T69

The Geezer, the Skipper & the H will all go well.
the OAPs will share quite a few votes but none of them will get up.
Midas will poll in a couple of games.
but my money will be on the Geez.

 

[can't mark can't kick]

That's because Midas and Can't Mark Can't Kick are the same person

have you only just worked out Bundles that there are only two people on here?

you are one of them, I am all the others.
that's why some names only crop up now & then.
just depends who I feel like being at any particular time.

now Geeves, where's that Latte you were bringing me?

ooops I'm not D-G at the moment am I?

Kingbrown (and all other Rupo people here) - and no this is not about the Sween Machine
I am pretty familiar with alot of Rupo people and from what I have read here the OC will have the advantage in the ruck. How handy would a guy like Trent Broughton have been in this game, tall athletic player who could get around the ground pretty easily. Is there a chance he'll be back down any time soon?
And I also have to give the Rupo people a pat on the back - in a town with two other football teams that pay their players as well as losing other people to stronger Ammo clubs (like St. Bernards) they are well on the way to building a winning culture. Well done to Smacka and all the boys down there.

Nice work.

Settle down people, Rupo rock. They have had an unbelievable rise through the grades. As many of us here are associted with Ammos sides, this rise can only occur if you have:
1. Great footballers willing to play for the jumper and your team mates.
2. Solid support staff around the club.

FFS, Rupo are playing C-Grade footy in 07!!!! There are plenty of people who want to bag them....but where and what have your clubs achieved over the last 5 years?????

I've tipped OC by 3 points. Which is basically the same as saying it is a 50/50 game. Good luck to both sides.

Geeves and I can't wait for 2pm!

PS - OGS will win comfortably in the 2's. Its a Geeves Lock - 46 points!

 

[I Love Sandra Sully]

We have a great side down at Rupo.... not a team of 3 or 4 superstars (like Carey think they have).... just an even across the board team!!

Rupo will win this weekend in a very hard fought contest... beating off the "superstars".

Rupo to win by 16 points
BOG: Monz the fat little barge. (regreatably)

 

[Dudley Hamstrung]

Brilliant review Cowboy, must've taken a long time so I suspect you are either unemployed, a uni student or both. Not enough recognition received for that. well done.
Onto tomorrow...Old Carey Vs Rupertswood. Will be a beauty. Both sides have hardness, a bit of aggro, pace, skill and don't mind playing in any conditions. I think these two teams are alot more evenly matched than many are eluding to. I'm with DG on this one, I reckon it will be very tight but as a true Yellow & Blue man I'm sticking with the Sharks by 14 points.
Cowboy, both Plummer & Gaunt played exceptionally well in that u19s GF a few years ago so I'll take them both with those odds you offered up earlier.Looking forward to a fantastic contest and wish both groups all the best.
Fare-thee-well fellow Big Footy faithful (those of us not in the ban due to GF week)
P.S: For anyone in Sunbury this afternoon (HalfBack no doubt with his love of the area) Rupo players will be in the back of the convertables - probably stolen - in the traditional GF parade with the interviews being conducted on the Attic Niteclub stairs.

 

[johnfromtheVAFA]

Rupo will be far to quick for the big bodies of carey. OC might be bigger but rupo have shown they can mix it with the big boys. Rupo will win it from the backline, with their unbelievable pace. The big boys wont like being led out of their own 50 and into rupos and wont have the petrol tickets to stay with the likes of boxell, moule, collins, dressler and my fav for bog baddeley. Good luck to both sides but rupo for me by 6 goals

 

[St.Kev's Cowboy]

Yes Dudley, uni student indeed.
John, what odds can you give on Baddeley for BOG? He will match up on someone like Angus I think which will be a very good duel for the crowd.

 

[sideshowbob]

both clubs after the dust settles down, with a winner and a runner up should be and will be quite content knowing that they have both done extremley well to be playing in " c " grade next year,

good luck to all, rupo to take it out by 25points.

 

[Dee Snider]

Can I suggest Cramers front bar at half time for all bigfooty fans who are not participating in the game?

I will be at the ground for the national anthem Ugly and I intend to enter through the same 'entrance' as last week.... See you then.

 

[DG-Man]

Geeves and i are heading up to Topo Gigio for a bowl of pasta. Anyone keen on a glass of wine or a bite please visit.
Seems the wheel is starting to turn Rupo's way. Tippsters are flocking to the woodsmen like never before. The love that KB and Sandra have been searching for all year is suddenly arriving in droves.
Perhaps a little too quick? Will run the OC off their legs? Interesting thoughts.
Would love to hear from either team on any selection surprises from last night. Geeves was at an Institute of Modern Butlers (IOMB) dinner last night and was unable to gather any selection dirt.
Cheers - DG
