Yeah I think the only person who believes Styvo is himself.
Did I mention that I am sitting on 54/55 - the only one i didnt get was the draw between Elsternwick and Westbourne. I actually had it as a draw until I saw that the sun was out so I went for Westbourne. Damn sun, otherwise I would still be going for a perfect 90/90.
Stop it! I laughed so much I fell off my chair. AS IF! Survey? Who would talk to you lot? Now get back to the village before they realise their idiot is missing.

Well Peter got the 3 points right - 103 points to be exact. OW 24-20-164 compared to the Razorbacks 9-7-61.
OW completely dominated the first quarter, 10-8-68 to zip, Swinny only got it into their forward line twice. Then in the first ten minutes of the second quarter Swinburne took it to OW and scored something like 4-4 to one point, complete turnaround.
Third quarter was almost all OW, then they eased off (or got tired) towards the end and let Swinny through a few times.
Interesting game, and Arctic Park lived up to its thermal reputation.

And what about the wind Tiger? If swinny managed 4-4 to 1 point after being down by 68 at 1/4 time, was it blowing a gail?Interesting game, and Arctic Park lived up to its thermal reputation.
See Hawks got done by the House and that Vegemite might not be a very honest bloke, Tigerarmy was on the money, 3 goals to Eddo! And thats 2 in a row for the Hawks, are the wheels falling off?

4/5 for me. Pete an improvement on his 2 from last week, got 3, unless of course he managed to change them this morning when he woke up and saw enlightenment.
Crikey, I heard a rumour that a visiting witch doctor from the Zambia was in town. Must have done a great job on Eddo on Friday night!!!!

Gentle breeze if that. Fairly cold and with a couple of showers passing through during the game, but it was at most a 2-goal wind, which is why I didn't think it worth mentioning. Presumably the OW position reshuffle and the Swinny coach re-educating his players at quarter time caused the reversal of fortunes.
Swinburne reserves were unlucky, desperately inaccurate kicking saw them gift it to Westbourne 3-16-34 to 5-7-37.
Injury cloud over Westbourne, one of their guys (sorry didn't note who) popped his shoulder with three minutes to go. Off to hospital to have it seen to.
Anyone watch the reserves games or got any comments on who will round out the top 4 of the dew kickers?
Kew seem to have miraculously sewn up top spot, with OW in second but still 3 teams fighting for 3rd and 4th spot.

OW have got depth with more than a few of their 2s team being starters in the ones last year - and Kew are up to their old tricks again.
From what I have seen and heard, Hawthorn have been an absolute rabble in 2 of their 4 losses - but can't have been too bad in the rest of their season so far considering their ladder position. WB have dominated for one quarter each week, and if they do enough damage on the scoreboard in that quarter they seem to be able to hang on to win. The Pigs play their ground well, but have a couple of loose cannons that can bring them down from the inside.
Monash's revolutionary new policy of playing their better 22 in the late game is taking its toll on the ressies - and I can't see them troubling many in the run home.
8 point game this week for WB v Hawthorn - my tip is they will take 3rd and 4th come end of round 18, Pigs an unlucky 5th.
How about Ivanhoe, Latrobe and Elsternwick?
Also interesting to note that sides 1 and 2 both have Club 18 sides which I know at our club means that reserves have to train otherwise they play Clubbies. Generally most sides at this time of year have limited reserves players on track on Tues and Thurs nights. I am sure that most teams would be making phone calls on thurs nights to get players to help out or fill in. Obviously having Clubbies will make the reserve players fitter as they are training more often and those clubs will always have 22 to choose from.
Having viewed ressies over past few years this years standard is pretty poor compared to other years. Most sides we have played have been competitive in the first half then dropped away considerably in the second half.

Agreed. There'd be plenty of twos players who train <2 nights a week because they know that there's not a lot of fat to trim on the selection table.
This assessment is from limited information, but anyway:
Elsternwick 2s aren't much chop (except for their superstar HOTWHEELS number 5), La Trobe have a few good players but a lot who don't seem all that interested or aren't all that fit, and Ivanhoe will be a helluva lot better if injuries stop the higher level 2s players being called up to the ones.

Monash had a huge loss of personnel over the summer which caused the stocks to run low. From what I'm told they lost from their 2nds side their captain coach, vice captain and B & F winner as well. D4 next year for the gryph's I think....
May as well give Kew the Premiership for the ressies now.

So whats with Kew? Plenty of depth but little class (or cohesion) in the senior squad?

As opposed to lying, deceitful ba$***** who are struggling to make the grade in the ones?

Its not over yet! The Gryphs aren't the second wort side in the comp.
Been a string of bad luck with 4 losses this year after leading during the last quarter. This is the most even year Ive seen in D3 for many a year. And also the weakest ressies comp. Kews ressies of 2006 would beat this years side by 15 goals.

So who are the second worst team Johnny? Would you say OW are the best team or Kew are the worst team, how do rate the teams?
Johnnyonthespot2
Senior List
OW are clearly the best side and will win both seniors and reserves flag, no doubt. I don't see much difference between teams 4-9. In fact Hawthorn, currently second on the ladder probably wouldn't have finished in the top 4 last year. Would everyone agree this is a much weaker comp than last year? Why is that? Injuries?
EddietheEagle
Senior List
Yeah injuries I'd say, never happened before, or perhaps its cos everyone's a year older and slower? Or perhaps all the good footballers realised they were wasting their weekends and are now enjoying their saturdays gardening??
For the first time in a while there's great snow on the hills and SMD are no longer in D3!
