Not many senior games he took easy option last 2 year's of being big fish in little pond opting to play FF in 18's to win goal kicking.

This was discussed at length in last years thread with a few of the Romsey young guns, seems Harro, Sully and Romeril are playing more senior games this year which is a good thing.

I was very impressed with young Harrison and Crimmo too IMS.

The RDFL boys struggled to go with their bigger, faster and stronger opponents, who had been training for 3 months together.

Porky will only get more knowledge from Saturday's game and the boys should improve against Ballarat.

I would like to see a bit more of a physical presence in the midfield though, our blokes were pushed off pretty easily.

Young Maddison Hardiman from Kilmore was one of the WRFL's best, he kicked three goals and did a lot of time in the ruck too. The Blues would love to have him in the side. He's currently playing for Altona.

But for mine, it was #1 - that was their best player.

I reckon Scott McCartney must have been reading this forum because he has posted the umpire appointments on the RDFL website for the first time this season. You can normally get them on the RDFLUA site though.

And would you believe it, Simo is umpiring the Woodend-Hesket v Kilmore match!

EDIT: I spoke to the GM and he denied reading BigFooty prior to posting them. Apparently they got a whiff of me criticising who they appoint to which matches so they now send them to Scott.

are you trying to say the GM now reads over the umpires appointments for approval?

No, they just send them to him to keep him informed. The RDFLUA is completely independent from the RDFL.

can you explain what you mean in your quote:

Well someone faxed the RDFLUA a copy of my story criticising them for which umpires they send to marquee games.

Now they publicise on the RDFL's website who they actually send.

Also, I should apologise to Gilesy from the RDFLUA for not contacting him first before running the story. I have since been told that they send umpires to the Ballarat and Amateurs league on a rotation basis, not quality basis.

Also, apparantely a large number of umpires were unavailable to officiate on the Sunbury Kangaroos and Kilmore match weekend.

Woodend/Hesket Vs Kilmore
The Hawks will look to bounce back this week after a loss to the Kangaroos in Rd 5. The Hawks are still the best side I have seen so far this season and with Darko, Salpy and Dowling up forward will always be dangerous for opposition sides.
Kilmore were disappointing last week, to lose to Romsey by that much would be a real let down for the coaching staff but Terry should be able to get the boys to bounce back this week. Robbo and Dave Cornish are the keys.
Woodend by 50 pts

Melton Central Vs Sunbury Kangaroos
Centrals loss to the Tigers last week was a shock and they will look to rebound this week against the Roos with a stronger performance, with Coach Mark Greenshields pulling on the boots again Centrals will only get better.
The Roos are now 6-0 and travelling along well, with the younger guys stepping up and Bonnici, Mark and Leigh McInerney finding plenty of the ball and Spud James and Leigh Sporle winning the ruck contests the Roos will look to consolodate on last weeks win.
Roos to win

Riddell Vs Rockbank
The Bombers are still flying along under the radar, yet are still the team to beat in the 2007 season. Recruits Michael and Nathan Allen are flying along with stalwarts Blade, Bellville and Wadden.
The Rams had thier first win in 2 years last week against Macedon and will be flying high for this contest. Unfortunately probably not high enough, watch for the return of Matty Krul who, even though I copped a spray for suggesting he would return last week, did return through the reserves last week.
Riddell by 110pts.

Macedon FC Vs Diggers Rest
The Cats would be disappointed with last weeks result and may have taken the Rams a little lightly, but the 2 have developed a little rivalry over the past couple of years. This week watch for the Cats to bounce back and give Diggers a shake.
Its time for the Burra to get thier season on track. Craig Thompson has played some good footy for the Burra since being recruited, Sims is back and the Burra will hope to have a few more return for this week. I just need my boy Cole Laurie to lift and play the footy I know he can play.... :thumbsu: .. Is Payney back this week ???
Diggers by 36pts

Match of the Round
Lancefield Vs Romsey
In what is usually a classic contest between 2 of the league's fiercest rivals this game should be a cracker.

Coach Chris Collins is working hard at rebuilding the Lancefield FC from the bottom up, the Tigers have taken some good steps so far this year. A strong win against Centrals was much needed last week and with a few solid veterans in the Tigers outfit they will lift for this one.
The Redbacks have started the season very well too. Brydan Morgan has been back to his best while Matty McClellan has been finding plenty of the ball.
The Redbacks should win this comfortably, Lancefield will lift, but dont know if the Tige's can lift for 4 quarters.
Romsey by 55pts

It must be said, a pretty disappointing round of footy if the match of the round prediction is a 55 point hiding. Hopefully a couple of the under dogs make a go of it.

Agree.. But I actually think that it will be a good game of footy to watch, Romsey will only kick away in the last quarter and a bit...:eek:
 
Who do people think are the leading players so far in the comp.. Im about 3 weeks away from doing my mid year report and top 30 at the halfway point so would like people to put thier idea's on the season so far forward so that I can take it into account.

Thanks...

Oh.. And who has been the disappointing players of the year so far...? :eek:
Click to expand...

Steve Ruane, having trouble coping with a tagger after winning the Bowen. Not having Sims playing well doesn't help.

Chris Payne, playing reserves, need I say more??

Steve Burlak, is injured, but hasn't played well when on the field.

Sam Bowen, electric player on his day but hasn't been consistent.

Won't say anything more, hopefully they'll all find their feet soon.

haha yeah just ask him! think il just have to get the jaw strapped along with the ankle haha then we will really know if hes got it in for me if i get done again lol
 
Anyone actually sat back and thought that Sam Bowen is a hack. Good Junior but doesn't cut the mustard in senior footy? I have been saying it for a while now. I will try to find my previous post in the subject. Thoughts?
 
possibly a bit harsh there blueboy, sam cut us to pieces last year when he played against kilmore on a week break from bendigo bombers, still only a little fella
 
Super game by Centrals yesterday, one of the more discaplined performances I have seen by an RDFL side, all kudos to Mark Greenshields who put in a plan and had his players execute almost to the letter.
While they were never going to kick a high score they ensured they were in the game right up until the end.

Brian Wheelahan sensational....
