Re: D4 Section Ammos

Thanks Knackers - I spoke to Ben today and he can't believe all the talk on here. Too many people are too willing to stick the knives in good people. Happens in all things.
You guys were great on the weekend. Was a bit harsh your coach giving you all a spray after the game though? What was said in that??
Good words Plugger - Is Wayne Olney still involved (posted earlier but no response) - he put in for years! Has he moved or what??? Good luck against the Dales.

Unfortunately there was an 'event' which took place which resulted in Wayne moving away from the club.

It was disappointing as Wayne, for all the time & effort he put into the place.

Re: D4 Section Ammos

Wow, huge couple of days on the forum boys. Very interesting reading indeed - very glad to see Cookson and friends ark up. The crack at him about being weak was way out of line.

Spewing North Brunny has to travel to South Mornington this week - SOUTH MORNINGTON! its not even north or west mornington - its the other end of the earth. Ridiculously long way to travel to play local footy.

Thrilled to bits they joined the league!

Re: D4 Section Ammos

Ozza (or anyone else), how does the ruck department look for UHS?

With D4's #1 Ruckman McIndoe (AP) going down, how do the ruckmen look around the comp?

UHS-VU ruck was solid but nothing to lose sleep over. I think Manny and Big Waz would agree that North Brun have a pretty handy ruck in Clifton. But our other Ruck, Tannous went down 2 minutes into the first game - which has meant he has had to shoulder the load - with some help from Moose.

Our ruck stocks will be a strong suit for us once Tannous is back. Quality big men are hard to replace in any league.

Re: D4 Section Ammos

OK Round 4 tips - Turtles, Saints, Mornington, Lilydale, Falcons & No Idea in the last? but i'll go with Manny's mob for now.

FYI - A.McLaren didn't meet the selection criteria for Round 1 as didn't G.Turner who I both believe made the Scribes team of the year last season? They missed alot of pre season and had to earn there spots through the Magoo's as have a number of other guys the last few weeks.

As for BHN being better than the turtles in last years finals series? Neither won a game, so how can you judge that? It's a new season anyhow & the turtles will improve more from last years experience than i'd expect BHN too?;) If not we'll all see in Round 6 at the turtle dome then won't we?
Ruck Machine is living in the past. Enjoy the ride Hollywood.

Re: D4 Section Ammos

Yeah down at Eley park a player by the name of John "the bear" Alexandrides is killing it. Hard at it and best skills in the comp.

Eley park will get back on track with a win this week, with there 2's to keep the winning form going as well!!

Fair call, wasnt having a crack just found it funny.

So lets get some tips going for this round?

Also has anyone seen any guns playing in any teams not spoken about?

Re: D4 Section Ammos

Sorry to bring this great tread down – but it is time I jumped on here and made it clear who I am and what is going on. I am Plugger – I wear 28 at Bulleen (Sorry Rocket). Over the last 12 months plenty of people have been on this site and have tried to pass themselves of as me. A few notable examples being Cobrawoes and today Fatherlion.
Grow up people. Bulleen is a great footy club – I love it with a passion – as I expressed at the club meeting last year.
This thread is supposed to be about news in d4 footy. That’s what it should be all about.
Let’s keep all the footy talk positive – I am very glad to here that Cookson hasn’t left – as has been well documented on the thread we certainly need him – he is a very valuable player to the club, and clearly a player other clubs need to keep an eye on.
SO to all those who want to pass themselves off as me – well let’s leave me to being me and why don’t you come out and make yourself known. You are clearly from Bulleen so how about showing yourself and having a crack face to face.
With all that said – I am picking Bulleen to win this week – we have improved significantly over the first 3 rounds, and last week we played a really good side in St Mary’s. They will go far this year. So come on Cobras out there – let’s get behind the club. We have had a tough start to the year and we need to keep together as a group and improve as a club. The magoo’s need to keep plugging away too – we played the 2nd half with 16 guys on the weekend so if you read this site and haven’t been down to the club this year, please come down and lend a hand – a full team will see us get close to a lot of teams.
Go Cobras
Plugger out.

Great words Plugger!
I have played a fair bit of footy against your mob, mainly in the two's. They are a great club and will no doubt bounce back as they deserve too!
Just remember it wasn't that long ago the turtles where struggling for numbers in their two's and getting smashed each week! Look at them now!

Good luck for the year

Your gonna love the drive! And the ground......crikey, everything about it has a relaxing feel to it!

You guys will do well but look out for South Morny in the near future. Best bunch of young runners I've seen in years!

By the way, say G'day to Sof for me! He'll know who it is!

You are a stirrer SR but on this one I definitely agree, dont know anything about Papa but pretty certain St Marys are the real deal!

Re: D4 Section Ammos

Surely he would have expected that kind of attention? He is after all the most talked about player in football history through no fault of his own!

This weekends results will have little bearing on what happens at the end of the season. The 2006 fluctuations in form of a couple of teams that have been mentioned recently (yes BHN and Eltham) show that your early season form is not the be all and end all.

What does your crystal ball tell you about finals contenders then Abba Lonie after 3 rounds? If not St Mary's, Eltham, UHSVU & BHN then who? Or are you going to sit on the fence until round 18 before giving your opinions which is what this forum is all about isn't it???:rolleyes:

Having seen Papa on the weekend, I'll say he is a quality footballer. Dave Trinchi ran with him all day and did a good job of keeping him quiet, but when he got a bit of space he was damaging. He ran hard and to the right places. I think a post a week or so ago said it all - it talked about Papa's opponents and players wanting to test themselves - he will need to expect people getting up to play against him

Thanks Lakey11. I have probably played against you as I only play ressies. All teams go through patches - we have been there abouts for the last few years - a year of re-building shouldn't be too bad for the cobras. We have recruited a lot of new players who haven't played alot of footy, they have talent and a year of footy under their belt will make them better players next year. The improvement in these guys even over the 1st 3 rounds has been astonishing.

Re: D4 Section Ammos

Will be interesting to see how Uni High goes when they come across some of the stronger sides. I see they play St Marys twice in 5 weeks due to the first 2 rounds being changed. That will certainly be interesting.

One thing that is apparent early is that there is a big difference between the top sides and the bottom sides and i sincerly hope as the season goes on this evens out and the whole grade becomes more competitive.

P.S- I think the weather could play havoc with some of the results this weekend with the fitter running sides having the edge over the bigger sides.

They are the top 4 teams, I have no doubt about that. People are suggesting there's a gulf between the apparent top 2 - St Mary's and Eltham - and the others.

Early form suggests this, but as I said alot can change. Your adopted club have started this season on fire similar to last season and we all know what happened last season.

I think that the gap this year is the most it has been in years. D4 has traditionally been very even, but this year the demise of our boys and possibly Nth Bruns not winning games has hurt. Whislt not being a powerhouse of the last 2 years in particular Nth Bruns have been very tough opponents and have kept many a team honest. It has also been interesting that over the last few years the teams coming down from d3 have gone up pretty quickly again, so this suggests that UHSVU and St Mary's will have good seasons. Eltham have been improving and need a bit of luck and BHN have improved rapidly over the last 18mths. So they are the top 4 for mine. Sth Mornington are still an unknown and Richmond are already much better but I don't think they will have the teams to consistently trouble the top 4 and the clubs around them.

Good call mate alot can change and probably will? All that we can all do is get up for each match as it comes around, but a crystal ball would be handy wouldn't it!!

As for an adopted club, I'd have to say that they should probably have been my orginal club if not for the different path I chose from Junior footy seeing I have lived about 500m from the club for about 21 years? A new team and a new season should also change what happened last year, it will be exciting for us all down at the turtles to turn it around this season. We have plenty of motivation from that, that's for sure!;)

Re: D4 Section Ammos

Not sure what the issue has been the last couple of years, i'm always impressed with the quality of football Eltham plays. Seeing names like McLaren, Galvin and Andrews in reserves squads indicates a fair bit of depth (even if some of those were disciplinary selections) so it could very well be the year for Eltham to achieve what they're capable of.

I would prefer you didn't though. ;)
