Has he played yet? If he hasn't and given Swinburne's start they would have to be some sort of chance. Good effort considering many thought they would fold at the beginning of the year.
 
I thought Elsternwick were supposed to be the excuse makers, not you and your Warrior mates Tibia ? No point having a CHF and FF if you can't get it down there, look at the number of scoring shots, the Wicks obviously dominated play. If the Warriors don't like it on the smaller grounds where it's a bit more physical, then guess how opponents are going to go about beating you.

The Bloods are cruising, and must be red hots at this stage. Based on th scores I'd still have Bentleigh/Wicks 2/3 and the Maggies and Warriors battling for 4/5. My money is on UHS and ST Mary's to drop at his stage.
 
Has played all three games I udnerstand, and has kicked four goals. Higgins seems to be doing the bulk of the goalkicking however.

For a team supposedly relegation candidates, 21 goals in 3 games is an excellent return.

Reminds me of the FF Hardaway that Brunswick Power had in their VAFA time. Gun FF playing for a side that unfortunately couldn't get him the ball often enough to win.

At least with there Sh%t ground they dont have to get the ball very far for it to be actually in their forward line.

Don't think it's a matter of they don't like it FRED, just doesn't suit there game style, and i shall repeat what i wrote earlier your CHF and FF pull out before the game and it leaves a big whole in your side OW may very well have gone inside 45 on more occasions but with no one there to grab the footy didn't score as many times hence losing, not an excuse champ FACT.

Gee Fred you hit a nerve there.

Personally I hope that Marty39 stops carrying on like a little girl and becomes a bit more open minded about his clubman's point of view.

Tibia hsuggested it was poor for Elsternwick to use injuries as excuses only for his club mate to turn around and do the same thing for Old Westbourne for the weekend.

Don't believe me? Have a look at Tibia's post on page five of this thread:

**Mate, this is exactly what I am talking about. Every team has injuries, and it is just that we hear more about them from the Wickers than anyone else. All these comments are to me are excuses, nothing more.**

Hmm, one says FACT, the other says excuses.

Do I dare ask for consistency.... :)

I am pretty sure I mentioned EAFC "outplayed" OW Mcglede feel free to correct me, and whatever Tibia's opinion is obviously differs from mine imagine two people with varying ideas on the game...strange. If you don't think injuries make a differance to a teams performance just look at Collingwood.
All I can say at least the OW contingent in this forum have been passionate enough and open enough to strongly support there club...and you!!!

some nice banter in here at the moment, but I still cannot work out your agenda McGlede. Perhaps you just like to stir the pot for something to do and make your dreary life a little more interesting? Just kidding mate, keep up the hilarious postings that you are becoming famour for!!

Onto the comments you made about injuries though and my reference to the Wickers. I can say you have actually quoted me correctly and I stand by these comments.

However, I do not think the Warriors have used the injuries as an excuse. They (Old Warrior, Marty) have said that they were outplayed, though acknowledged the injuries did have an impact. This did not take anything away from the Wickers performance mate.

Also, the Wickers have not lost yet. My comments related to how they react when they lose. Let's just wait and see their reactions when they do lose before you judge my page 5 commentary please?
 
The only agenda I have is consistency gents and if you think I'm anti-OW then you're exceptionally poor judges.

My posts here signify just where I think OW should be in a few years time. I think they're an exceptional side given the league they are in. From memory I have stated they will be Grand Finalists this season. That means D2 next year doesn't it?

But again consistency raises its head. yes Marty, you mentioned OW were outplayed on the weekend. However you've clouded the issue by noting OW's injuries and even suggested that OW may have indeed gone inside 45 more.

Now, how are they outplayed if they have more in-45's? Up forward maybe, but to use outplayed as a generalisation suggests that Elsternwick were by far the better side over four quarters. Subsequently it's hard to work out how that could be if OW were seemingly pumping the ball into the 45 so often.

Now, how is that consistent? You tell me.

Will wait and see in regards Elsternwick's comments Tibia as everyone loses a game now and then. I do hope you can come-up with a better reference when quoting an EAFC source this time.

Thankfully, Marty's post allows them to use the injury excuse! ;)
 
Can't disagree Suffolk, however it would appear poor form when one side can use injuries as a factor, yet another can only use them as excuses.

I understand there is a dislike for Elsternwick out Old Westbourne way, however some of the stuff in here has been so petty or unsubstantiated that you really have to sit back and wonder what the deal is. Let the footy do the talking and let the chips fall where they may!

Ironically, only selection of yours that I'd question is West Brunswick-Elsternwick.

If Elsternwick win this one then they're top four material and have proven their going places after the vault from D4 last season, however WB are always hard to top at home and I can't recall too many Elsternwick wins over the other side of Princes Park over the last decade or so. I'd take WB in a close one.
 
Elsternwick are a slow bunch of older bigger bodies, will be very hard to see them doing much good outside the comforts of their cosy bog. Am yet to see West Brunswick play this year, but if they are a similar team to that of previous years, they should account for Elsternwick by 40 pts plus.

There is bad blood down at OW as Elsternwick spoiled a potentially perfect season in 04, hopefully this year is shaping up to be a similar set of circumstances for the warriors.

A report from the Western Oval suggested your prediction was spot on.
UHVUS and St Marys have both firmed as favourites to drop down, although I caught half of the Swinburne v Bentleigh game and Swinburne didn't offer much more than a whimper.

Early and possibly obvious call, but I think there will be a clear division (say 4 or 5 games?) between the top and bottom halves of the D3 competition...

You were spot on Trunks (although WB only got up by 33 points).

I notice the OW scoreline of kicking 27 points. They'd better shape up their accuracy or face big troubles when they play decent sides this year.

Was Juck back this week? Does anyone know who the main culprits were?
 
Unfortunately I missed the game, was watching WRFL! As they haven't posted results on VAFA web site I am yet to know who played well and whether J Horsborough played. As for the score line it was a blustery day and I imagine, with the game being played at old Westbourne, it would have made for tough kicking at goal.
 
was at the OW game, OW kicked 12.14 is the last quarter alone. Balloch, 'Juice' Huntington and Paul 'CK' Chalmers were best for Westbourne, they are still missing their CHF Critter due to injury and captain Mick Christo did not play either, Jucka played and kicked 4
 
Was at the OW vs UHS game on Saturday. Not too much in it for most of the day on the scoreboard. OW had most of the play for the first three qtrs but inaccurate kicking from them and accurate kicking from UHS kept the margin to about 25 points at the last break. The last qtr was all OW. Can't say I felt too sorry for the UHS boys, I know we've been on the receiving end from them on a few occasions over the years.

Their top 3 or 4 are as good as most other teams in the grade but they look like they're struggling with their depth as their quality falls away in the bottom half of the senior team. However, they tried hard for three qtrs and the last qtr probably showed the difference between a team that has done a pre-season and one that hasn't.

Here's a tip for those playing them in future rounds - don't get stuck near Boycey telling people about his footy card trading on Ebay after the game. $160K up and still counting. I hope someone from the ATO is reading this. Mcglede, I hope I haven't given away too much by disclosing this.

I'm confident that McGlede is well aware of certain UHVUS official's illicit card trading and that you have NOT revealed too much, Warrior.

Murchie missing again from Swinburne results... Can anyone confirm his absence from the game?

I am not sure what would be worse OW, Boycey in your ear about how well he is doing ripping off the taxpayer or having to hear the excuses for Elsternwick's loss to West Brunswick.

The silence has been deafening after that result. Was anyone at the game? Any comments?

Does anyone wish to explain this? The only person I have met from UH-VUS is their coach, Glenn Taylor. if you are suggesting I'm from that club (that's two I will have been incorrectly tied to) then you're badly mistaken.

Won't be seeing Elsternwick for a few weeks and would have liked to see their game against Souths. You never know though Tibia, maybe they'll just say WB were the better team on the day. Just like OW nearly did!

Was forwarded an email that suggested Craig Mahoney was missing from Elsternwick against OW. He's as important, if not more so than Horsburgh is for OW.

On a side note - good to see Warrior trying to keep it consistent. No names though mate? Come on - where's the consistency?? :)
 
Popped out to WB on Sat and it was a pretty good game of footy. EW looked the better side early, and got clear twice in the 2nd qtr (16 goals combined) by 4 goals, but WB wouldn't let go. Ground was in disgraceful condition this early in season. WB's onballers simply dominated in the second half. (No 3 for WB was superb...hope that's not giving away too much !!!)

Mate of mine went to the Kew v St Marys game, describing it as pack rugby, sh$t standard, and he won't go to lower than C grade again...suggested not the best 2 teams in D3 to watch !
