Beaser was certainly much loved at SKOB in his short tenure. Fair to stay the coaching staff worked a small miracle getting that 07 into the finals. More of a bunch of goers; than superstars (don't let the names fool you some of the boys were on their last / first legs).

Fantastic season as always. Really I think with a decent run of injuries any of the top 8 sides could win. Have only managed to get out a watch recently but the conditions really make it impossible to assess form. Don't think they really reflect how the game will be played come September.
 
Ok, so Round 11 is effectively moving day.

While percentage would ordinarily play a big part, it probably goes out of the window with two teams lurking at the bottom of the 4 with a draw for the time being.

Blues win again this weekend with interest.
De la likely put paid to Colls finals hope.
Blacks to skip half a game ahead of the OT's
OM's to hang in the 4 for another week
Skob to hop the xavs at the school. (Winner can play finals, loser can't)

Ladder post weekend if I pick 5.

DE LA - 36
UBlu - 32
OM - 30
UBLa - 28
OT - 26
STK - 24
OX - 20
COLL - 20

Agree with RM, except Xav v Skobs.......Xavs in a tight one.....

Top post.

I'll have:

BLUES
DLS
OT
BERNARDS
SKOBS

Most of the away teams.
 
Blues by a massive margin.
Collegians by 2 goals in an upset, very well coached are the Lions.
Blacks at the Uni swamp, OT in real strife.
Bernards in a do or die battle, OM's won't like it out there.
SKOB over OX in a nail biter, both teams getting some elite talent back by the week.
 
Wow what a surprise. I would suggest that even the Xavs players and coaching group saw this one coming when it became apparent very early on that the standard was a fair bit better than what he might have expected. Which of his numerous former club$ is he heading back to?

Good result for Xavs as it gives them the opportunity to blood a youngster (yeah right – as if that gonna happen !)

How much was Bruno getting at Xavs?

Cant see Colls winning, but their Coach is outstanding!!!

Unfortunately DLS are the one side that is a real bogey team for the Lions, regardless of form and ladder position. I just can't see an upset here.

I know that Rooster attests to every year seeing the Lions and wondering how they can even win a game, considering how DLS have made us look over the years. We do not match up well to their game style.

Have to agree with Penski.............It will be flippers and goggles at the "Trott" this sat.
 
Couldn't see Bruno running around for free. More clubs than T.Woods.

Work, contacts through work etc etc. Cash...not a chance. Xavs do lunches and raffles and everything else to get the 7 teams on the field. Costs of phisios, trainers etc are a nightmare. Nothing has or ever will be paid to a player, other than enormous opportunities within the network. Many will tell you that this isn't true. But they are wrong.
Whatever got big B to the club in the off season was something other than $. It's the Ammos.

Correct Penski. I have the greatest respect for Collegians but for whatever reason we always do well against them. Notwithstanding that the expected weather conditions on Saturday will not be to our liking, I expect the bellers to salute on Saturday.


I note the comments regarding the Collegians coach. Clearly he is an excellent coach but doubt there many better going around than Paul Satterley. Forget this year and the second half of 2015. It’s what he did with a mid table B grade quality list in 2014 that will never be forgotten by the De La faithful.

Agree re Paul. Gun. Was a gun at Oakleigh, Werribee, then Dees.
There's also a triple premiership coach at Kew that goes alright.
Nice to have a little coach appreciation. Beats any bagging.
