Re: D4 Section Ammos

Saints played there ground alot better than we did & don't worry about trying to stop Pappaluca, No 21 was the guy that did all the damage around the clearances he's the man you'll need to stop on the small saints ground. Other than that a good game played by both teams and looking forward to getting our revenge at the Turtle dome round 14.
I believe 21 is Shane Murphy. I think he is an inclusion to Saints fold this year.

St Marys always were good at the clearances. Their incredible will to win is at it's height when playing at home. No disgrace to be picked off by them there any year.

If you weren't worried about Papa, why the heavy tag?

Re: D4 Section Ammos

Fair point guru however seeing last half of the game i was impressed with St Marys young full fwd, only issue is his accuracy. I was talking with a couple of there supporters who mentioned there actual full fwd is yet to play and was a late withdrawal on the weekend.

Having said that i think the Gerrard (Eltham) is the pick of full fwd's in the grade and having such fire power does go along way especially on Eltham's bigger ground.
whats going on champ

Re: D4 Section Ammos

I would have to disagree that the VAFA tribunal is a kangaroo court.
Most of the tribunal panel are well educated lawyers ,judges and upstanding citizens in our community. If you have done the wrong thing then maybe you need to spend a couple of weeks out. In over 200 games in the amateurs i have been reported four times and contested the charge and never been found guilty of an offence. I have however taken a prescribed two week penalty once.

I believe in the lower grades the umpires credibility is not the same as it would be for an A,B & C grades. Too many AFL rules changes has had an effect on what the umpires think is legal and illegal.
We do need a tribunal system as it saftey net and i think the VAFA do a pretty good job of it.

The player does definatley stand a chance and i would argue a case if i believe i had nothing to answer for in relation to an on field incident
:cool:Many of the "lower grade" umpires were A,B or C grade umpires:mad:,every umpires evidence and ever players evidence is taken on merit and in my many years the tribunal deliberate very fairly doing what is an extremely difficult job,no cameras from 5 angles in the ammos;Umps call em as they see em,I would love to say more but am hamstrung.Yes Keka,you touched a nerve with that "credibility" crack:rolleyes:

My bro nellup calling it as it iz. As was a quality matchup on Saturday with the Sainters fighting strongly for a great win. Take nothing away from the Turtles who may be better served on their own more spacious home.
Apart from these top 2 are there any contenders or pretenders?

You seemed to have directed this question at me Saus. That is the inference made by quoting my post.
Given that I was working in a canteen at another ground last Saturday, I am probably not the best person to answer your question. But let's get out there anyway.

Why is Cookson tagged?
Why is M. Viola tagged?
Why is Odza tagged?
I could go through all, but a few less common, teams in this competition, naming one and sometimes more players who get tagged week in week out.
Why? Because they are potential match winners for their teams. And if you shut them out of the game your team's chances of winning increase.

Far from being scared of Papaluca, most coaches are dealing with a stream of requests from players to play on him. None of these players fear him. None of them intend to physically harm him. They want the chance to test themselves against a quality player.
Oppositions are not angry towards him. They are respectful, and most acknowledge that good players from higher grades in VAFA, like good players from other leagues, joining D4 add to the level of interest and standard of play.

For the majority of contributors to this thread, the aim is some friendly banter, a bit of tyre pumping and the chance to create a good flow of general information about our competition. We endeavour to fill in the huge spaces left by Ed Sill's weekly report in the Ammo.
I fear your reasons for being on this thread may be a tad different to that. I hope I am wrong and you become a valued contributor to this thread.

Re: D4 Section Ammos

Totally agree with you spy1.

Its great for D4 to have these quality players coming down to play. If u look across the board most clubs have a few players that have played quality footy previously, eg Blagrove (Eltham), Whyte (Uni High). Guys like the challenge of playing against them and also respect watching them play.

It was great seeing Blagrove for Eltham and Pappaluca for St Marys on the weekend battle it out against there oppenents. I thought both there opponents did exceptional jobs for the respective teams. Blagrove had minimal impact and was held by no's 28 (P.Murphy) and 15 (M.Purcell) I think in last half after starring in first half.

Only know what I've read here. Sounds like he may have had a run with role on The Eltham co-coach for the 2nd half of the game. Sounds like another good young player though.:thumbsu:

Re: D4 Section Ammos

Ok lads , as I'm pretty new to this thread I want to ask a few genuine questions - I'm definitely not intending to sound like a smart a$$ so don't take offence, just trying to find out a few things I may have missed:

1. Everyone is talking about Papluca - if he is so good why is he playing D4? surely if he's a 'young kid' trying to make it he should play a higher grade rather than being a big fish in D4 (that willl get targeted- lets face it). Sure its interesting for us to play against good players - but comon man- 40 kicks in D4 doesn't make you a great footballer.
2. Very surprised plenty of blokes tipped Eley Park to beat BHN last week. Why? BHN are very good and Eley Park were fairly ordinary last year. Have they recruited terrifically well - or has everyone forgotten that BHN would have beaten the eventual premier in the semi if they'd kicked straight.
3. What has happenend at Bulleen?

Funny you should ask. Word is 3 time best and fairest winner Ben Cookson walked out on Bulleen this week. Times are tough.

Re: D4 Section Ammos

Ozza the talk on Papaluca has been and gone.

Watching last week Vs Eltham he is ok, not a stand out. There are plenty better players in the grade.

Why dont people talk about the Blagroves and Whyte's (who have played VFL footy and been on AFL lists)??

As for Bulleen, rumuor has it a few senior players have left hence the downfall with them.
