I think you should be giving them hell on the C thread mate, be proud to be out of the lowly divisions! Ormond absolute monties to be finals bound this year.

You forgot to mention Garlick and Digger, Wes Fellows, and Vance Joy.
Seriously, Luke Andrews played one game in 2010, I think it was.
McMaster and Nash played 9 senior games between them, Gleeson 1 less.

Blues recruits have been swallowed by the SKOB hype on here, but some handy additions. Out played in the Prelim but they weren't far off it
Bernard's to be off the pace this year. Merrington, Jones, Caven, Gleeson, Hannan all gone
FWIW tipping De La to plateau this year, gung-ho footy is barely attainable for half a season, let alone 2.

Watts, Summers and Young are massive losses, without looking into who else have departed. Harper not guaranteed to play with injuries and no job yet.

Blues are quietly very bullish about their chances. Some very handy pick ups, not necessarily big names but will make them very tough to beat.

Spot on Chazz. And with a few of the guys who played a number of games with Richmond (VFL) last year pulling out of VFL footy in 2016 things are looking bright for one half of the Uni this year. The other half really struggling and will be lucky to survive.

So you hearing Blacks are really struggling? I'm hearing Carey think they will be pretty strong with a handful of VFL recruits.

Haven't managed to cover the losses from what I can tell. Will be a small, young side. Blues on the other hand are flying.
Nothing wrong with following the jobs trail, Scribe.
Uni Blues are, with SKOB, the biggest under achievers of the past decade. Traditionally pump themselves up every pre-season and rarely capitalize... Funny how the 3 Clubs who have dominated the last 10 years of A Grade never talk themselves up... Perhaps a lesson for the self-righteous Clubs out there.

Which three clubs do you believe can lay claim to being the most dominant over the past 10 years?
Not hard to work out... Has something to do with Grand Finals played / Premierships won.
There have only been two dominant clubs in the last decade. Xavs 4 flags and Collegians 2. (Lions have also played in 5 of the last 8 GFs which is a brilliant effort). All others single flags with a few of those clubs now occupying positions in 'B' grade. Reckon the only other club to have been in 'A' grade continuously for the last decade would be De La. While they have a swag of U19 and 2s flags without a senior premiership they cannot be classed as dominant.

I'm with you. Xavs and Collegians the standouts of the past 10 years. Just trying to work out who in a rush thinks the third is
Had a good period but you can hardly be classed as a dominant ‘A’ grade club when you are sitting in ‘B’grade!

Also hard pressed to say that St Bede's didn't puff out their chests when the were winning!!! Which I love by the way. Fake modesty on the chat room full of anonymous posters is one of the most ridiculous virtues there is. Personally I love the rumours, out there opinions and general banter. Only posts I don't like are the ones attacking other anonymous posters (honestly what is the point!!!). PS I'm guilty of this.
FWIW interesting assessment that both clubs are self-righteous because people outside the club post things about their recruits on here. Show me a team website post or coach comment that talks themselves up and I will agree.
Blues are the team to beat imo, injury beat them last season and with those returning and some new blood, it's exciting times at the pavvie.
Bernies in a world of pain at the minute, lost 9 of their premiership team mostly their forward line. Radar Riley must be fuming.
The lack of talk about the OTs is also quite staggering for a team that missed by a kick and is predominately full of young guns.
My top 4
Blues
OT
Xavs
SKOB
St Bedes enjoyed a fabulous few years and deserve a big tick for the 5 years between 08 – 13. However they deserve a smack for the meek manner in which they departed ‘A’ grade.
In 2013 they had 1s, 2s, 3s and 2 x U19s. Seniors played in GF. 19 Prem won the flag and I think from memory the 2nd U19 team also played finals. In 2014 the seniors win 3 games and get relegated. U19s Prem finish dead last and also get relegated. 3rds and the 2nd U19 team pull out before the season starts and we even have the ridiculous situation of a Premier reserves team forfeiting at least one game. For a club that was probably only second to Xavs across the entire VAFA this was horrible fall from grace.
Trinity have lost 4 of their best 5 players. Like Burnies and Panthers we are talking top end talent.
They had a brilliant run with injuries last year. A staggering 14 players played all 18 games.
If a Uni Blues had done that...I think we all know who would have been playing in the GF.
But I like your top 4. Just lose Trinity and add Snowdogs.

In a rush is a troll, registered his account around the time Port Adelaide showed interest in the Big Russian, I'd ignore anything he posts.
As I posted two years ago, Blues were an elite team, however don't underrate how big a loss Watts is. Should be a great year, very close with some elite, elite players coming in the comp.

Interesting changes afoot in the Premier thirds too, OT and Carey have complained that OX and SKOB are 'SUPER' powers and should have both of their thirds teams in the top grade. What a wank.
