Preston continue to impress me in Snrs and Ressies. Absolute flag chance in both divisions. Extremely well coached teams.
Gee whiz, blokes talking plenty of rubbish in here.... Bizarre considering it takes about 37 clicks to find this piece of s**t page, and nobody gives a single * anyway! Lol out loud.
laugh out loud out loud?
Yeah mate, kind of like "FML my life"
Agreed. Well drilled, very fit and experienced finals campaigners. Best side going around IMO my opinion.
FWIW tough day at the office for the Snakes ressies......well done though for turning up and having a crack.
Stinker of a day on top of a tough season at the Snake Pit, put out a call to arms on Thursday night in order to field a team. We were on the other end of a result like that only 2 years ago against South Mornington, it goes to show how quickly things can change.
Lots to learn from this year and we'll only be better for it.

Where did all the players go? There reserves played in the finals last year and now on the end of a 50 goal thumping? Im sure they club will bounce back though.
Not this year. Sadly they're going to have to regroup in D2.
Are St Johns a bit off at minute.... loss to Preston then a couple close victories
I'd say yes and no. they are still winning and getting the job done, but nowhere near as dominant. The race for 2nd and the the double chance is interesting at the moment
And MHSOB would be kicking themselves, may have lost their finals spot after dropping to BT
Melb High went in complacent against BT and got their just dessert. Fourth spot could go down to the wire. Melb High and Yarra V play each other in round 17 before Melb High take on west Brunswick in last round where as Yarra take on Bulleen Temp in last round
Race for 4th is
Battle for 4th is very interesting now
ESL have seem to fallen off a cliff, not sure how they went from dominating last season, and arguably being better than WB to not looking threatening at all, did they lose players?
Battle for 2nd is still on, but WB should lock it up
Teams 6-8 this season were very interesting, often challenged the top teams, but often got smashed randomly as well
Can't see anyone being in the GF other than W B and st Johns.
Watched snakes v turtles- strong win by the terrapins- be good if they played the ball, rather than the man- a win is a win
Played for the Snakes on the weekend, didn't consider the turtles to be playing the man instead of the ball.
Just standard footy, nothing untoward in my view.

Never mind Spewie and his boring and unfounded Eltham bashing. Game was played in good spirits.
Why the big drop off for the snakes this year? Seem to be in a better position than most clubs in that you have a club 18 who made finals. A lot of other teams struggling to fill two teams
I dont know the situation, but losing D-Roy certainly doesn't help when he was perhaps the most important player to any team in the league last season except for Boundy, but the wheels have fallen off for sure. I watched them 3 times this season, and they have a few boys more interested in fighting than football which is sad to see
D-Roy was obviously a big loss, we lost about 6 of our top 10 from last year for all differing reasons (College football, moved overseas etc.), but not one of them to another club. Injuries, unavailability and the ever increasing mid season overseas trips has seen us play more than 60 blokes in the seniors this year.
There is a lot to be learned from this season and I'm sure we'll bounce back strongly in D3 next year, the wheels are already in motion. The Clubbies have been fantastic this year, helping us out when there have been times where we would have had to forfeit the reserves.
As for boys more interested in fighting, it seems to be a pretty common theme on these forums that clubs are dirty, I never think that personally. One thing I love about playing in the Ammo's is how clean it is in comparison to other suburban leagues or country leagues. There are always going to be boys who like a biff, but apart from one bloke being suspended for a stupid act earlier in the year, I wouldn't say they're more interested in fighting. We like to play tough footy at the Snake Pit, but certainly do not condone anything outside of the rules.
Relative to other leagues the ammos are good, just noticed a few scuffles from a few, but a majority of the team is doing the right thing, especially in such a tough year, it would be tough for RC, but credit to them for filling two teams each week in a year where a lot hasn't gone right
But i think next year they'll regroup in D3, and hopefully push up again the next year after that, they seem to have a knack in the past for recruiting players and being competitive
How good is this last round, nothing beats an upcoming finals series where literally nothing is set in stone other than St. Johns having the double chance
YV would beat richmond centrals you would think, so you think they secure their place
MHSOB has literally everything to play for and will throw everything at West Brunswick in a game that could decide both 2nd and 4th spot
Preston can still finish 2nd, and will hope for Melbourne to win, or for them to make up 10% against Eltham (probably wont happen), even considering that Eltham has given Preston some trouble in the past so a Preston win is far from a certainty

YV play BT
Yep, RC travel to Dandenong for the final round.
My bad, either way, they should still win but BT dont mind the occasional upset win when they turn up with their minds on the job
