D2 Division 2 2018

[uglydermie]

Dont know much about Powerhouse as a club - but I do know Dave Matthews and he is bloody unreal bloke and a ripping coach.

VAFA legend Dave Matthews , who I can say is laughing at this crap from a peanut

Cheers. Must be a new appointment this year. Appears AV still heavily involved and pushing the recruitment drive. DM has racked up a few clubs now.

Any results from the weekend to change some opinions before round 1?

My error I thought he got the Elsternwick job.

Their FB page indicates a close praccy vs prahan. Can't be traveling too badly.

DM will make sure they're very competitive I have no doubt.

Good to hear. I used to work with their President Pav. He’s a good bloke who puts in a lot of hours there. Hope for his sake they travel well this year.

So why post that earlier crap

I spoke to a Prahran supporter and all reports were Powerhouse were a mess in there practice match and they struggled to even touch the ball.

Because I had heard it from a pretty good source Bedford. And on further investigation, it’s true.

Im pretty sure the coach was speaking s*&t the margin was massive.

 

[Smithy85]

just read on the div 4 page, St. Francis took it right up to St. John's in a praccy! X-men seem to have got a heap over during the off season from southern but it looks the jocs could be fighting against relegation two years in a row...I know were not meant to read too much into pre season form but if your wanting to be a good div 2 side, you would want to be demolishing sides in div 4!!

 

[Over The Post]

It's a praccy. You don't know who was out, or playing out of position, or if there were 19s or ressies players the coach wanted to see against a firsts opposition, yada yada yada

Tips for Rd 1
Melb High to beat the Animals
Yarra to smash the House
Friars won’t do Eltham any favours
Bulleen at home over OP’s
St Johns to welcome UHS to Div 2

 

[Tortured fan]

Interesting first round. FWIW;
MHSOB over Emmaus
Yarra to win in a close one against Power - Home ground to get them over the line
Friars to smash undermanned Eltham to take top spot on the ladder
Perennial slow starters Parade to get the 4 points against Bulleen
St Johns to start their season on the right note with close win against UHS

 

[Smithy85]

Round 1 Tips for me...
MHSOB by a few
Yarra by 10 goals +
Friars by 10 goals +
Parade by 6 goals +
UHS by a couple

 

[Smithy85]

Good to see UHS-VU come up with a first game win. My favourite part of the Amateurs website is the 'Play Locally' search, put in anything and it lists ALL the Amateur clubs .

 

[Die Hard Fan]

Every club has a bad apple go through it from time to time. Doesn’t define the club or the other 99.99% of people involved both past, present and future.

As the GE spectator that was on the receiving end, I assure you I hold no ill feelings towards the Turtles.

Nice work Smithy. Difficult to get much info as this thread lacks a little input.
However, tips for this week;
Yarra to bring UHS back to earth with a solid win
Parade in a tight one against MHSOB
Powerhouse to open there account against the Animals
St Johns to regain some much needed confidence at the expense of Eltham
Whitefriars to easily account for the under prepared Bulleen boys

Whitefriars to easily account for the under prepared Bulleen boys

You would have absolutely no idea how prepared the "Bulleen boys" are you parrot. Your intel stretches as far as the Vafa website and this thread clearly.
You're just another deer with no eyes. Parade are a good outfit, they will touch up a lot of teams this year.

I actually thought both sides were pretty good although Bulleen ran out of gas about 15 minutes before Parade. Were you there? It was fairly obvious.
Both teams struggled in the last quarter due to it being Rd 1 and the weather.
