The Cobras 2's are significantly improved on last year, even if we are 0-5. I'm not about to suggest an upset, but I've got no intention of using a mirror to see the smile on WB's faces.

We'll put up a good fight, whatever the state of the scoreboard. As for the largest winnning margin of the year, I'd be pi$$ed, as well as shocked if that happened.


I'll put up $20 on West Brunswick Reserves -119.5pts if anyone wants a piece

Opportunity today for those lesser performed teams to cause some upsets.
SM in a thriller against AP. If they can find the ball.
BH to lose to RC by 4 goals.
WB too physically strong over Cobras by 6 goals.
Mt Lilydale by a kick over Kew.
SFX to give NB a long afternoon.
Sharks at home against the Sinners.
 
I'll expect a Paypal transfer first thing Monday morning.

Go West Brunnie! First time I'll be supporting the magpies of any description!

Rooster,you can PM me with your Paypal name and I'll cough it up.
To the cobra ressies,there is only one way to handle something like this and that is to put it behind you and move on to next week which having seen the cobra spirit from last year I know you will do,was not at the game but form what I know of the cobras I'm sure they fought it out till the final siren.
 
it rained.

and rained...and rained....

That was worse than round 10 last year, what a great day for footy! Of course getting a win on the board makes all the rain and cold worthwile.

We had a terrific contest with BHN yesterday. There was never more than 10 points in it the whole way, and only one goal was scored in the final quarter. Then, the big fish gets a free kick in the back pocket with 30 seconds to go and decides to hit dan penny on the chest about 35m out! OF course he'd (DP) already kicked 5 goals for the game, and 2 from that exact position on the ground, AND has won the game after the siren in the past..... BUT.... He missed the goal by one foot. It looked good off the boot too.... PHEW!

Well played BHN, both teams put in a heck of an effort, and a draw would have been fitting (as predicted by the scribe).

We did smash your ressies though Kosta :D

And we need to come up with a name for the BHN v RC trophy. Perhaps the Ruckmachine/Ifeellikechickentonight/bigwaz/spy1/lakey11 medal!

Two years ago RC's ressies got beaten 200 - 0 by hawthorn, and I dropped a mark in the goal square in the final term :(..... The glory days! Keep it together Bulleen... But are WB's ressies really that good? THey have a healthy percentage, thats for sure...

don't forget our original poster abba lonie.:p

Waz, our coach looked to congratulate your coach after the siren but could not locate him amongst your celebrations. Please pass on his congratulations.

What about the President's Cup (yes I know some idiots with sticks use that name)? Given that Simon Evans was instrumental in reviving BHN from a basket case when they entered the VAFA and this year Kotsa has taken the club even further off field; combined with your excellent administration work over the last few years; it would be fitting appreciation of those people.
In both cases it has been a fantastic effort to turn the clubs around and gain respect of their peers both on and off the ground.

Hopefully we will see both clubs competing for the cup in higher grades as the years roll on.
 
It's a big call. I know footy is a four quarter game, but if you take out the 2nd quarter on Saturday there was only 2 goals in it. The Cobras may not have been going to win it, but for most of the game they were far from being pantsed. As with all teams there are still a few absentees from the team for round 1.... Some teams will improve more than others.

Kew's big forwards were very impressive in the air, but kicked most of their goals from marks. They weren't impressive on the gorund, so if it was to be a wet winter they may find it a bit tougher.

They didn't struggle in the wet yesterday maybe it has to be wetter before they will start to struggle?

All RC need to do is change their 2s ump and they will be very difficult to dislike.
 
i have a funny feeling that rooster1979 is an ex cobra come sfx forward trying to suck some ppl in, either that or the wost gambler of all time

I like to think of myself as one of the most astute gamblers of all time. The actual spread talked about down our club on Thursday night was WB -139.5 pts. Didn't want to flirt with danger. Must admit I was a tad concerned when the rain cam about 10pm Friday night. I know WB's home ground can turn ugly.

I also didn't mean to disrespect the Cobras. West Brunswick have toweled our boys up on numerous occasions over the past few years in the 2's (& 1's) quite easily as well. Good Luck next week boys against Mt Lilydale.

I am prepared to go double or nothing on the Rd14 return tip for WB -149.5 pts

RC had a bloke who umped the ressies for years"'Johnny" something and from what I read on here BHN have just lost a club timekeeper what about combining the 2 surnames.
 
ranga reads our dribble but doesn't contribute to it, wrong bloke.

ranga was very handy on Saturday.

SFX a little too strong for NB. Thought SFX were really good blokes in the seniors - didn't know what to expect after a fair bit of talk floating around - but they were terriffic and the game was incident free.
 
hey rooster your from sfx.who was that full forward who put on a clinic in the two`s.must be close to a one`s game

His name is Bourkey,thats if you're referring to the bloke with the dermie frame and chicken legs. if we can keep him on the park he'll be handy.Could probably benefit from more training, tough gig to get from the Rialto to Beaconsfield every Thursday though.
