Good win by the districts today, Aquinas were very hard at the ball especially early when it mattered they are def one of the toughest sides i have seen, they will really trouble some of the top sides in D2 next year.

pretty sure we are both 1 and 3 after today?? How about u reveal urself instead of being a tough guy behind an alias?? wouldnt expect nething else... Harps good game today and SMD were too good.. but im sure tough guys like "high fligher" arnt excactly what the districts are all about!!
I'm sure high flyer is just having a bit of fun and continuing to fuel what has become a pretty big rivalry between the clubs. Good to see plenty of Aquinas people up in the rooms after the match. Looking forward to the rematch.

But as harper said i am only adding a bit of fuel to the rivalry, i am sure you blokes will be fired up when we play at your ground
HARPER, I notice the scoobs have not registered a win yet, any room for a fit middle aged recruit?
You'd be timing it perfectly if you did.
SMD reserves on the up and only 8 points short of a win yesterday.
Must be a good chance to open their account this coming weekend?
Harps?

Oh look! A tool!
yeah only a couple (of hundred) kms down the road!
Always room for a player of your quality Vet. Not sure if we agree on the meaning of the word fit though. Get to training
Big improvers my boys on Saturday, we should of had the win. Got the feeling Aquinas just wanted it a bit more in the last 10 minutes. But a massive improvement on last week.
I managed to photocopy Scribes game plan for next week when he wasn't looking and as we're starting to find some form we'll be right to reverse the result from our practice match.
Big day at the BSO this week, even heard Hutchy and Dr Turf talking this game up on the radio.
That close result -v- Aquinas couldn't have come at a better time Harps.
Easy for me to rally the boys into action again when I point out the side which ran us to 4 goals were almost knocked off by your lads.
No-one will be taking things lightly at BSO this weekend - should be a cracker in both games.
FWIW - Will be a massive day for all concerned, and we understand SMD have already got 4 to 5 tables for the Presidents luncheon. Might outnumber the Fitzroy crew at this rate. Maureen had Dr Turf pumping it up Saturday morning on SEN. With Club XVIII playing at 9.20 am against Uni Blacks (pity any poor bloke I have to drop from Saturday's team), there will be no dew on the BSO by the time the SMD boys hit the park.
All roads lead to BSO this weekend.
PS - whilst plan A has netted 4 wins thus far, we do have a plan B, and it might have to be used if we're looking down the barrel at halftime!!!

If the results keep coming your way Frase you may find yourself in the top job back at Trinity - from all reports they were insipid on the weekend and did not give a yelp - perhaps you could send them your plan B !
Hmmm....was very surprised to see that result in the paper on Sunday morning (at least the size of the defeat). OTs have a tendency to get blown away when they're down, but have managed to conjure some gutsy wins when the pressure is on all day. They're 2-2 at the moment, so no need for panic just yet.
Coaching the Reds dew-kickers isn't rocket science this year. Whilst we've only got about 8-10 regulars from 2007 playing again, we've attracted a similar standard of player as those who took us to 5th in C with an 11-7 record. On track for a better win/loss than that this season, but it has very little to do with the coaching I assure you.
Our clubbies are battling, but there's still enough talent in that side to fill gaps when the inevitable Friday night phone call comes in for a late replacement.
Interestingly, 5 of the top 6 sides in D1 reserve have a Club XVIII side (though I understand a couple of them try to operate as stand alone units). If/when injuries start to bite, those 5 teams will be thankful that there's another side running around capable of giving them match-ready players, and placing pressure on the incumbents.

By the same token, the seniors may need to pinch quite a few of your Reserves players - especially any that can kick goals.

Now my beloved Hampton are smashing C Grade, I thought I would check out The D1 post's, I can't believe all this crap about David Teasdale particularly when I said he would go to The Rovers, bring on Rep. Footy he will be just an average player in a very good team,we won't have to read all that crap on what a star he is, he ain't no Chief although they would look good in the Big V together.........The only bloke from OM's he is any good is Cochrane, could he play at The Dragons especially with those Rovers boys hitting him lace out, Cheers for now.....Milkman I don't miss you up in C Grade and your inane post's,I saw you bowled well in South A, maybe you should test yourself in Senior Division at David St....

Milkman is a shocking bowler. Most of his wickets came from blokes trying to hit over fence for 6.

Panther_Man, you pathetic excuse for a human being. As soon as Mentone win a game against a bunch of shite you come out of the closet. Go back to the bush . as for Ian Cave...i heard there was a dubious free kick given in front of goal in a reserves game with about 2 micro seconds left on the hooter ...did you and your relo have anything to do with that...mmmm...spaceships.
WIPIT YOU ARE A LIVING LEGEND.

what happened with Peninsula on Saturday panther man? I thought they were meant to be looking ok this year?? Or are you boys just looking the goods?
Looking forward 2 watching u high flier get the hard ball when u come to play at Aquinas where the grounds a lot smaller and theres a lot more contested footy.

Suggest you guys quit this 'hard ball' banter. Aquinas and SMD are both 1 and 3. Respected members from these clubs will realise that there is a long way to go in the 2008 season and being competitive in this grade will depend upon alot more than an old D2 rivalry.
jak, in case you haven't experienced a fairdinkum rivalry humour me for a second. As it stands at the moment SMD and Aquinas are, in a footy context, at war. It wouldn't matter if Aquinas were 4-0 and we were 0-4 there would still be more feeling to the contest than most other games (as it is whenever we play Bentleigh). It's an intangible element that you just can't manufacture that makes our games so exciting to be involved in and really has nothing to do with how our clubs fare over the whole season so why try to censor it.
By the way, the ledger is now 3-2 our way so if you're not doing anything on the 28th of June head out to Aquinas College, the action starts at 11.40 and will still be going hard till around 4.30.
Harps,
Guess the VAFA should've scheduled your game -v- Aquinas for this week instead of last week. Looks like there isn't a more bitter rivalry in this section than the Blood Bank Challenge.
Good to see you're already looking ahead to 28/6, just treat this week against Fitzroy as a lazy tune up OK?
