[patty O'furnicha]

Good round of footy on the weekend, old westbourne is obviously the still best side in the comp. good to see la trobe have another good win as did hawthorn. however, rumour is that old westbourne have a few injuries and that the envelopes that they hand out after the game are no longer doing the job

So jealous of good recruiting and having a succesfull year to date!!!!
Do you suggest all these ludicrous things about every ladder leader or you just dirty your club didn't get these guys?

I hope you don't go quiet after writing such a ridiculous comment Golden Child!

Gryphs or West Brunny - who will drop with the Kew boys?
Gryphs, only just

 

[dgradedale]

Year in year out the Kew reserves continue to excell whilst the seniors flounder.
What a disgrace!

The guys who "only want to play twos" should be banned from the club.

G'day Knackers 2 - when you get a moment - how about some comments on the 'why' for the above? Not saying I disagree with you - just think it could start some healthy debate.

Just on 'Mary' Higgins - was not listed in the 'players played' sheet on the Ammo site and assumed he did not play in the narrow loss to West Brunny. hence the question - if he doesn't play....can they win?

 

[Champ or Chump]

West Brunswick

Also, interested why so many people on the site still rate the Hoes? It's not that they used to beat the crap out of me many years ago that makes me 'love' them so much, but just looking at what they have or have not done this year.

OW, Hawks and The Students all looking alot better I would suggest.

Just like your side in the 90's

 

[the_unit]

No worse than what the tip-rat from Elsternwick did, so why should Hawthorn be punished when whls5 gets off scott-free?

he may be a tip rat but he didnt look like an idiot like the hawthorn umpire did after that tribunal case.You serious he attacked a supporter, you work out which is worse clown

Hmm, Ivanhoe only lost to Hawthorn by 2 points so if people still rate the Hawks then why not the Hoes as well?

Check the sheet again he is on there!!

Not involved with either club so I will just check - Is Elsternwick no. 5 the leather skinned old bloke that has been running around since lace up jumpers were in fashion? If yes, whatever he gets he deserves.

Hmm, just a question here for Serpico.

If latrobe are the real deal AND the hawks hold on to second spot AND Ivanoe are not going down down down AND powerhouse are going to make the finals, then does that mean that OW are going to be disqualified and booted out of the top 4 in the coming weeks?

Or is it a final 5 these days.....

Also, check Round 4 results, Swinny won with no Higgins (Though it was only Kew )

Not excusing his behaviour at all - just that if the tribunal will not take a stand on an almost identical incident, then no one should expect them to do it again. If they did, I would suggest that they need to revisit the earlier decision.

Yes it is, and apologise to any tip rats offended by the comparison. A washed up hack who belts opponents to feel big. A credit to both his club and the comp. Should have copped many weeks for what he did.

They wonder why they can't get umpires - if they're not being supported off the field, why bother....

Lucky were apart of the investigation involving the bloke from Elsternwick?

My sources informed me that the officiating umpire reported him for 10 seperate offences, once the umpire was quizzed by the investigation panel within 2 or 3 minutes he was willing to withdraw 8 of these offences. I don't think the tribunal panel or the VAFA had to much confidence in his evidence following his amazing backdown, in conjunction with all of the contrasting evidence from all of the witnesses (includes 2 or 3 from Hawthorn).

What are they meant to do- suspend him anyway.

The difference between the two cases will be that the umpires evidence in Dan's case is going to be pretty damaging.

No, I wasn't there, just going off conversation I had with someone from ammo HQ (who incidentally couldn't work out why he wasn't suspended). He admitted to the tribunal that he did in fact run thru the Hawk's interchange bench at wrestle/jumper punch a Hawthorn player. This was corroborated by 2 Hawk players, 1 Elsternwick player and an ammo official who happened to see it.

There has been quite some concern by umpires (again, going on inside info) that too many times the umpire's word is not being accepted. Can someone tell me why an umpire would bother losing their Tuesday (or which ever it is) night sitting around Elsternwick Park if there was no merit.

3 or 4 VAFA umpires I have spoken to have suggested that they won't bother reporting anyone until the Ammos do something about the tribunal.

 

[Peelers]

hey there isnt much talk about the young fellas down at latrobe... If you blokes dont think those boys arent they VAFA version of sydney, you dont no footy. They are coming at the right end of the season, with a young team, a great brand of footy, to only team in the league willing to get the hard ball and commit them selves.
They are a step above the rest and have got premiers written all over them, any one disagree i would like to hear it....

Golden Child are you suggesting that old westbourne slip money under the table to players. because i've also heard those tables are awful slippery

The 2 games Ive seen Latrobe play they were very unimpressive. I can't believe that they are entrenched in the four. And certainly cant see them doing anything in September. It will be Hawks v OW GF. And very much a 1 sided affair.

Is it OK under the VAFA rules to pay assistant coaches who play? I was under the impression that the payments were above the table in the full light of day.

Assistant Coaches who play cannot get paid. Coaches who play are allowed an allowance of $1,500 per year to cover costs such as phone bills, etc. I'm sure that these rules are always followed

 

[knackers_2]

This weeks questions :

Are the Students the real deal?
No. As is the case with a lot of younger teams, I've seen them go missing in the past, and I have got the feeling that they will go walkabout again this season. No hard evidence so I am open to being proven wrong.

Can the Hawks hold onto 2nd spot - and cause an upset over OW?
No. They aren't playing very good footy at the moment compared to earlier on in the season, and with a big "?" over Lauletta with this latest alleged incident, they are questionable. OW have got too much for Hawthorn across the board.

Are the Hoes gone, gone, gone ?
No. Good side from all reports, I just don't think they are gone x 3. Time will tell on this one too.

Will the House make the four ?
No. Not my pick for fourth. And I would like to see them miss out as well, because they are a team I do not enjoy associating with.

Will the injury prone E-wicks have enough players to play out the year?
Just. But like was mentioned earlier, who cares? As long as wheels keeps the Dubbin on his skin he should be plyable enough to run out season number 43.

Can Swinney win without Mary?
Where's he going? It's been cleared up that he played on the weekend. But to answer your question, they aren't much chop without him. Murchie left a hole that he only partly fills, and without either it would be a gaping cavern.

Gryphs or West Brunny - who will drop with the Kew boys?
Gryphs, only just. They're playing catch up footy, WB to hold on by percentage.

Champ, see above

OK, thanks for the clarification OW. It would appear the table top is higher than the envelope.

I don't know who you cowards are, but throwing these serious accusations around about OW with no proof (which i know you don't have) is pathetic. Get over the fact you've got 6 stitches in your rectum from where the warriors tore you a new one this year! It's a credit to the blokes who run the club to recruit so well this year. With great facilities, great blokes and an exciting future, why wouldn't you want to play there!
