Caulfield Grammar has 6 teams from 11 & 12 year level boys.

the bigger issue is the 2 campuses & the geography

More numbers than Wesley at those year levels but the same issue.

Melbourne traffic definitely doesn't help with this too. Imagine getting from the eastern suburbs at 5pm on a Tuesday and Thursday to Glenhuntly Oval or Harry Trott Oval. Both trips would take the best part of an hour if not more depending on traffic, or a cruisy 5-10 minute to a local club around the corner.

I think it gets back to the footy programmes, CGS have fired theirs up since Ash Martin took over and it’s showing immediate results. He’s a great lover of footy and I’m sure the old boys club is rubbing their hands together with what’s to come over the next several years.

The search for talent started well before Ash Martin began. I dont know what he has done with the footy program but Caufield Grammar can thank Barry Rowlings for the stars that have gone through there over quite a few years...he has been their talent spotter for over 10 years.....handing out scholarships like showbags to the best kids running around. The real trick is to make sure they play for OC when they leave school.
 
Who is going to end up with Jonathon Patton. He was spotted driving past Melbourne Uni. Definitely a 1 pointer.

OMs over Trinity
SKOBS over Brighton
Uni Blues over Caulfield
Collegians over St Bernards
Xavs over Scotch
I have a feeling this round will see a few upsets, but who cares, it’s just great to be playing footy!
OM’s tonight in a slaughter
SKOB in a close one
Uni Blues just but think Caulfield could pinch it.
The Lions by a fair margin.
Xavier by 6 goals plus.

I miss the Maplebet form guide.

Same. What a ripping bloke he was. The mysterious Canada. Loved him.
maplebet...gold.
I might roll out Hippbet a little later.
Xavs firming into a very short priced favourite. SKOBAFL / TomBoyd...also well backed.
Next week will be cracker.

I was down at the Harry Trott on Saturday afternoon.

I noted a few things from the game as follows:

St Bernards have a really good young side that plays with no fear and really takes the game on with ferocious tackling pressure as well. They will cause sides a lot of headaches this season and make few, which I saw on the weekend look silly for underestimating them. Kazuro did a good job to nullify Collegians champion Viv Michie for most of the day and Marcus Holland with 9 goals in 2 games will be a handful for opposition full backs due to his height.

Although the move was out of necessity and a need for a big key forward target, David Mirra playing forward and kicking 4 goals for the Lions kept them in the game. Mirra marked everything in sight and again will be a handful for opposition defenders and opposition forwards depending on where he lines up. He is an absolute star of the competition and will only get better.

Collegians had a very young side in on the weekend (6 players 21 and under playing) and whilst it is great these kids, some of which showed some positives signs, it was always going to be a struggle on a hot day to play out 4 quarters of tough and hard footy.

Full credit to St Bernards, 2 goals down 10 minutes into the last quarter, you could have forgiven them for packing it in, away from home, but they dug deep and kicked the next 4 goals to run away winners.

Looking forward to this week's game between Collegians and Old Scotch. Huge game for both clubs.

Scotch started okay on Saturday but it turned into an onslaught after Q time. Alarm bells for Old Scotch

Scotch have very little super top end talent and a clear depth issue from what it looked like on the weekend but Old Xavs are a very well drilled machine.
 
This weekend's tips from me

Old Brighton over Caulfield
Collegians over Old Scotch
St Bernards over Old Trinity
Xavs over SKOB
OMs over Blues
