Premier B - 2015

[bedford]

Parkdale of course and I hear that ground will be done up as well. Maybe they should throw the cricket off Gerry Green for a year as they are now playing a very low standard

 

[lovetheclub]

the oms were said to have 3 under boys playing in the ones. I'm sure if they played 19's the entire year, the results would have been different. They will be a force this year.

It looks awesome I don't think we play a home game till about round4-5 so hopefully it has taken by then the council couldn't get the ground level with the angle of the pitch so we got a free pitch out of it as well. They won't have any excuse now for playing such a low grade

Is that all, only 3? SKOB had 6 in the seniors all year along with 2 at VFL level and still played in the Premier grand final. I doubt OMs 19s will be a force, lots of scholarships at MGS who normally get drafted or play VFL, or go back to the bush, not a lot left over for OMs.

BS - Has the club done anything preseason to try and deal with the finals choking problem? The last 6-8 years have been farcical. Be a shame if that 100k scoreboard didn't one day host some of the Ammos bigger clubs.

SKOBS have a decent group of U19s at the moment and good luck to them. But I dip my lid to OMs 19s for at least having the guts to play in the highest division. They knew a long way out from the season start it would be a real battle but stuck it out. Hopefully this will better prepare some of these lads for senior football or a 2nd year of unders. After all 19s is really about development.

Plenty of examples of clubs nominating for lower grades to pick up cheap premierships rather than then develop senior players. One particular club would routinely win flags in U19 south and when the VAFA tried to promote them the following year they would pull their 19s and enter an U18 team. This process has been repeated several times now and they are still in the bottom U19 grade. No coincidence he fortunes of the senior team have gone south since adopting this 'philosophy'.

I'll answer on Brian's behalf, SKOB have overachieved in my opinion. Although our finals record isn't great, to say we choke all the time is not entirely true. We have been beaten by some very very good teams & to say we choked is belittling their achievements. Half the teams in A Grade wouldn't have got near Blacks & Blues in the last 3 years. As far as the scoreboard is concerned, have no idea what it cost & SKOB will be at the King long after you & I are both long gone Canada. Have we taken steps to get to the next level, time will tell & McCann, Jones, McLean & Doyle for a start will help. If we pick up a couple more, who knows.

SKOB Football. Notice you have co-coaches this year. Harf easing his way out or just easing the workload?

I couldn't tell you, any reason I give would be a guess at best.

Remember hearing Harf say somewhere that one of his sporting involvements would have to make way soon. I guess that's coming from the home front. That would either be cricket, super rules or coaching I suppose.

Coaching probably the last to go due to the huge contract he's on at SKOB.

The smiley indicates a joke Brian.

Grounds look a treat this year. Parkdale has been redone and looks magnificent. The beach oval for OBG is looking an absolute treat after upgrade. Boss James is in terrific knick after recent upgrade. Assume OMs at Junction again which is in top condition. King should be in very good condition. Ajax and Caulfield always good for football. Not sure about St Bedes and Fitzroy. No idea where the Nodders play.

If you don't know where the Nodders play , why post crap

 

[BrianSpeaking]

The King is the best ground in Stonnington, that's why SKOB have a 50 year lease.
Mazenods ground is a ripper also, bloody great facilities.

We've lost a shitload of senior players, will be happy to avoid relegation this year. Must have lost 50 plus from the senior list plus most of our under 19s from our Premier Grand Final team.

Hope you retained your Ressies coach , absolute legend. Had a great Premiership record before he got to SKOB's tho.

My first post!
Unusual for the Rovers people to be very quiet, I see they said on their website they were looking to continue their recent flag success in Premier B, they seem to be a little bit ahead of themselves with that statement.
Any news on Old Brighton? Hutchy is a great pick up for them.
I also hear that Tom Brain is training the house down at Brindisi, looking to back up his best first year player in the magoos for the combine.

Welcome Tom.

Edit: Re Rovers. See they've snagged ex Swan and Saint Trent Dennis-Lane. Handy pick-up.

 

[Barry Plant]

Haha, now that would be funny, me Tom Brain. I actually am from St Bedes but I'm not Tom.

I see Trent Dennis-Lane has signed with Rovers as a second club, Sandy have been pumping him and Clinton Jones up as key signings, hope we get to play against him, I always thought he was soft as butter as a St. Kilda supporter, would love to see if he goes anywhere near the ball at Brindisi Street, although it's unlikely he will play more than one game for them.

I've also heard that Stephen Gilham is playing for St Kevin's, pretty handy pickup if true, has anyone heard similar?

We are looking pretty good, we will make finals and push for promotion.

Smorgon Oval is awful. Has been for years.

Brunswick Street will be a bowling green all year again.

Mazenod will be great too.

Is Tom Brain back working with St Bedes Mentone Tigers? I thought he was back with his first club ANZ Bank/Albert Park?

Nah, as I said earlier we will struggle to field two teams, no Gilham sadly, isn't he coaching at GWS?

Some musings today that our friend Brian is obviously unaware of.

Daniel McEwan, the best ruckman in the SFL last year who was also the VCFL ruck two years ago, was offered a guaranteed position as Frankston VFL number one ruck in the seniors yet has signed for SKOB? Wow. How did I know all of this? We chased him at St Bedes/Mentone.

Jordan Gysberts, two time AFL rising star nominee, signed with SKOB.

Stephen Gilham, AFL premiership player, signed with SKOB.

Brad McCann, Northern Blues VFL captain, signed with SKOB.

Dylan Jones, Werribee VFL ruckman, signed with SKOB.

Matt Doyle, Skye Best and Fairest last year, gun, signed with SKOB. We also chased him as did Parkdale.

So Briza, you must be out of the loop in a serious way, or, not telling the truth? Shock horror!!!! .

 

[Barry Plant]

Oh yeah, just noticed Brent Moloney permit cancelled, thank goodness for that!
Also, Eugene Routman back to Ajax, great pickup, only one year at Scotch, anyone know why?

Just what this forum needs, another know it all!!!
