Premier 2026

[good thing]

Hearing there may have been a few sharp words thrown around the Rowville camp in the wake of Saturday’s loss when they allowed Donc East to run over the top of them. Very unhappy coach and others.

The skipper himself may have been a target after taking a lot of time off this year and perhaps presenting in less than ideal condition

is this the same skipper who without him would not have won the a flag in 2023?....

 

[Harry Cheezels]

To be honest though he always been overweight or as he got bigger???. Bit like Cerni from East who still performed week in week out

Couldn't tackle the bloke he was a fridge. Unreal on both sides of the body aswell

What do they say again? A week is a long time in football haha so 2023 references must be so irrelevant

Often under pressure Rowville go the nuckle to try and intimidate. Was that their downfall against East Donny?

Brolic has been an outstanding servant of RFC. It’s hard for guys like him when he’s so important to the team/club watch his mates YoY take European summer holidays. No doubt he’s carry a few extra kegs but can u blame him. European summer is mint.

Brolic took an overseas break!!!

A big part of the problem for clubs with players taking breaks is they can't be replaced.

If you're playing for decent money, the club can't then find another recruit to take that money but just fill the gap while you're away. You need to contract decent players for the whole season, not the length of another player's holiday. You can't find a replacement player and say "oh we only want you for 8 weeks in the middle of the year..."

If you're taking a decently long break, perhaps the fair trade-off is to play for nothing (or very little) for the time you are at the club that season. That allows the club to spend your money on a player who can fill in for you.

A few weeks is one thing, but you have some players taking 10-12 week holidays. In that case you've gotta be willing to forego your cash and let the club explore other options for that season.

Cake and eat it too, etc. You're committing for a season when you sign a contract.

How good are East Ringers? Beat Balwyn convincingly today! Hope big Damo "the, I can't even even think of a nickname, man"Chandler and Harry "the stinky" Cheezeballs get back at me! The Burners nearly lost to Berwick. Topsy-Turvy season. Who could win it...?

You should not joke about mental health. They don't promote mental health at various levels for nothing.

So you go from having a breakdown over someone pointing out how stupid your comment was

Now you have a crack at the 2 that pointed out your comment was stupid and now playing the mental health card

Well done DamoChandler for stigmatising people and making light of mental health issues for people who disagree with you.

Obviously!

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Interesting games and scores everywhere. Doncaster East have done it again, they are a laugh a minute this mob… tumble down to 8th, cannot play finals and will finish above only Berwick and Mitcham.

I doubt there is a more incompetent, bigger screw-up of a club ever in local footy, they spend the deficit of a small country on players, stack themselves to the neck with VFL and AFL players, and can’t even play finals.

The people who run this club need to be studied, the amount of money that has been flushed down the toilet for zero return is staggering. Imagine being one of the geese who has tipped in cash.

 

[shinji]

East Ringers had a win today, don't know what you are upset about DamoChandler (that is an elite name, by the way). Why disparage for saying that East Ringers beat Balwyn today?

 

[shinji]

Christ almighty

DamoChandler is an elite, sensitive genius. Please, everyone, don't ever say anything that may upset him. Let's put up a "Fragile, do not touch" sign around him. That should do it!

I don't quite understand the above. There is a grammatical issue in there (can you work it out?). I like to help people, so feel free to send it to me first (before posting to all publicly), if you want some copy editing (for free of charge, of course, just between mates!).

Is this the same Berwick that beast east Ringwood a month ago?

No Durdin for Balwyn leaves a big hole. If he plays finals for BH that could really impacts Balwyn flag run.

Check the 3/4 time score sth Croydon V Vermont
Sth Croydon would be bitterly disappointed

 

[CliffMcTainshaw]

The Sth Croydon v Noble Park and the Vermont v Balwyn games will help determine who finishes 5th. If Noble Park win and Rowville lose their game against East Ringwood, then they will finish 5th on percentage. Vermont would have to win by a reasonable margin against Balwyn and hope Sth Croydon have a very small win over Noble Park.

Genius-level Damo Chandler still fumbling over his grammar and spelling (and 24-hours later!). Cannot even bash out a reply, the big fella. Shook (lol)!!! Take it one key at a time, you'll get there

would be unreal if Noble finished 4th after the off season exodus and pre season relegation concerns
