Premier B 2016

[Mounzer11]

It is the Senior A/B team. There will be no AFL Victoria Metro Championship this year, instead Vic Metro will play Vic Country.

I know mate, it was a joke......sheez!!!

Didn't Scotch have a rule that the coach had to be an ex AFL player until recent appointments?

They need to bring back Laurie Aghan!

Would be very interesting to see Laurie coaching the current crop!By seasons end they would be the toughest and most resilient team in B grade.Just a classic example of an ordinary/average player becoming a top coach.I particularly liked his application of the CKD principle-that's as in Crush,Kill,DESTROY!

Any thoughts on how monash will go this season?
Beauy and st bedes flag favourites for me. Milne and Schneider will add some serious class up forward.

You'd have to think a club that has spent 3 decades straight in A Grade would be a good chance to bounce back up.

Not sure mate. Been a long time in C and D. Should stack up pretty well against other teams recently promoted such as Rovers, parky and haileybury. Competed strongly against Blacks today and have some outstanding kids. Possibly missing the 3-4 out and out guns that others might have but will create some serious headaches for opponents through the season.

Not sure Frosty Fuller, Tim Holt or Mark Brady can help them this year Canada? Or the bunch of Old Carey boys like Pete Busse, Matt Angus and Steve Collins?

Les, what does 'competed strongly' equate too? Was it close or they had an honest crack and were well beaten?

A lot of very long retired players there BS. They have managed to stay up in A a long time after these esteemed players retired or left.
I have them competing with Beauy and Bedes to rise to A. Time will tell. Always enjoyed a cold beer in that downstairs bar under the grandstand in Camberwell. Be a shame to have to head way down south too many times in 2017. The deranged Scotchy supporter in the salmon pants may also be strangely missed.

St Bedes defeated Mazenod quite easily.

St Bedes defeated Mazenod quite easily.

That doesn't surprise me. Bedes will be very strong in 2016.

That doesn't surprise me. Bedes will be very strong in 2016.

Beware the vulture!!

Margin? While only a practice match you would expect that a B grade club touted as a premiership fancy would beat a C grade club who have reportedly lost a heap of talented players by 10- 15 goals minimum.

Around 6 goals Brian. 1 or 2 goals a quarter more polished.

Who do you reckon are overs/unders

 

[Chazz M Michaels]

Tom Simpkin to line up for Beauy when he isn't playing at Sandy - Not sure how often he'll play but very handy!

 

[Harrow]

Get on parky!

 

[Winter Game]

Haileybury are definitely too short for mine. Apart from that, I reckon they have done a pretty decent first up job.

Probably as many times as Trent Dennis-Lane did for Hampton Rovers?

Fitzroy will play finals IMO, Old Scotch won't.

Surely you jest?
