EDFL Premier Division 2017

[ZingerAbed]

Fletcher named in Doutta's squad, Chappy also named in Greenvale squad "again". Anyone know how many games Chappy has played and how many games are required to qualify for finals?

4 games to qualify for finals. Chapman has only played 1 so far but still plenty of games to go.

Will Fletcher actually play ? Shylo Smith also in the squad for Douttas having only played the 2 games this year.

Luke Jarrad just got into the fire brigade. Will this have a bearing on his playing days at Strathmore?? I'm guessing yes.

Pretty sure it won't have a bearing this year Turbo but if he gets stationed where he is hoping to then he won't be there next year, don't think this is a surprise to the club though.

But will he be rostered on weekends therefore he will miss footy this season?

Ex Paco Juniors- Jack Mac. the truck ( St Bernards ex Abers ) Victor Carboni ( Abers )

Couple of good ones there Big block. Think they did enquire about J Mac and he is that strong forward they could do with. Problem is he might not want to play against Abers having had success there.

Keilor vs Douttas was a cracking game of footy and it was very obvious how much it meant to both sides. They clearly dont like each other.

Umpiring was horrendous and Keilor definitely had the better of it but Douttas did get a couple of shockers go their way also.

Keilor wasted plenty of chances early in the game with Galea probably the worst offender. Reckon he would have missed 4 or 5 very getable set shots.

Douttas had a very tall ruckman (number 35) that i hadn't seen before which allowed Ronaldson to spend a lot of time up forward where he was very good. However as always Browne was the general for Keilor.

Both sides had a crack but are both slightly off the pace as far as finals go. Cant see either making it.

No surprise there. In 20 years of watching EDFL, in my opinion Keilor almost always get the better of the umpiring ( usually at a ratio of about 3 to 1 ).

No problems there Turbo, club have stipulated to the Fire Brigade that whilst he plays for Strathmore he is only to be rostered on duty between 8.00 AM and 4.00PM Monday to Friday. That way his job shouldn't interfere with his football.

I still say that the EDFL needs to publish the free kick count.

I wholeheartedly agree Stax.

Think they give the Umpires a voucher before the game for a Schnitzel Roll and drink after the game. Tried to buy one the other week and they were sold out but I seen 6 there in a box with Umpires written on it., Think I might have seen some pineapple notes under the rolls to.. Lol

DS can't complain about umpiring. Simply out coached , Mick the master too good for Wallis the whingher!!!

You should have seen the one sided umpiring at Marby vs Strathmore.
Frees where 30 Strathmore 11 Marby , plus some pretty ordinary decisions.
Cost Marby the game.
Strathmore had a great run via the umpires!!!
They get looked after nearly as good as Keilor!!

If those free kick numbers are correct then "about bloody time"!. We normally get routinely reamed by the umpires. No one, but no one gets looked after like Keilor though. Do Teals still sponsor the umpires?

Seriously though, 30 to 11 is a huge disparity, even allowing for the fact that free kick numbers don't necessarily have to be even.

 

[KB Hungry]

I have given up on the umpires. I think it could be a case if "Have whistle! Must blow!" They made a lot of mistakes in the Greenvale v Abers game which was a really good contest. Abers may have got beaten but you can see why they are so highly rated. Reimers got beaten and still kicked 5. Toy was really good and they have a side full of talent. I would not be surprised if that was the GF preview.

Spot on about the ratio was the same this game do the EDFL even watch these games ?

Cant complain 48---17 free kicks and too many in front of goal

That's what happens when you're willing to get in first and put you're body on the line goose. Maybe DS should concentrate on commitment to each other and the coach instead of this constant whinging all the time

Sick of the talk about umpires and the so called influence they have on games every weekend. Seems like no team wins a game of footy without the the help of them. I understand that they are not perfect, they make mistakes. But you can't tell me that each of the teams you all follow don't make mistakes either, players miss easy goals, slip easy tackles, have off days kicking the footy resulting in turnovers each and every game, But you never once bring that into the equation. As a player in the league, it's fustrating I know, but if my teammate makes a mistake you have to get over it quickly and continue on with the game. Surely it's not that hard to do it as supporters too. It's tuff and hard footy out there, let's just enjoy what's on show and get over the little things. You'll probably find players make more mistakes in a game of footy then the umpires but you won't get stuck into them after a game when your having a beer with them in the club rooms.

You should get down to Doutta's and give them a talking too

Hey bang my old mate, where have you been?

Maybe this "player" who apparently posted this is from Douttas as I know a few of them read big footy. Must admit I'm not sure players (if in fact it's a player) would read, let alone post on big footy..

G'day Turbs ol' Pal.. I've been around champ , keeping a low profile. Your mob Hillside will win B Grade , take it from ol' Bang right here and now!!!!

On Doutta's, sick to death of hearing them whinge, they dobbed your bloke Foster in. It was a good hard game Saturday, whoever lost would've been stiff but pointing the finger at the umpires makes me sick

I've been guilty of giving Umpires a slapping on here as well, but think the problem lies with clubs educating supporters about respect and a strong president/committee to stamp this behaviour out. I get to some junior games and what I see is quite disturbing.

Supporters actually walking around inside the ground perimeter fences.
Runners rarely leaving the ground or if they do then it's the water guy or trainer that stays on the ground. And this is happening at the bigger clubs. It's bloody disgraceful what these clubs do to flaunt the rules.
They know what there doing and really deserve a good whack to learn there lesson but that doesn't help the situation. Some people need to grow up..

These clubs think they are so good, and the league won't do anything about it. Yes we often hear about incidents at some of the clubs with so called bad reputations but it's often the so called "better" clubs that just care about winning and nothing else. The league needs to stamp these clubs as I can see trouble brewing approaching finals and these clubs will say we did nothing wrong.

On Douttas I'm not sure if it's the ground, surrounds or what but they do seem to scream a bit about umpiring and it's like a squeal that seems to echo a bit in front of the clubrooms. Driven me nuts when I was last there..

Did this cost Douttas the game ?

If Keilor kick straight they probably win by 5 goals.

 

[puffpuffgivemo]

The Top 5 as it stands is where those in the know would have pegged it don't you think?

Order a little off naturally but I'm certainly not surprised with the make up of the five teams who will battle it out for the four spots.

Avondale the ones most likely to shape it from the bottom five.

Hey Turkey your not real good with factual info, Foster was investigated by the league after reviewing their own footage FACT
