well done to the boys, makes me wonder what happened against the WRFL, 14 players in the BFL side came from junior ranks within the RDFL, how do we keep these young players at these clubs within the RDFL, only way to make the league stronger is for them to stay around.
vanders, if you're still reading, i'm under the pump in melbourne atm and will be late. i haven't got any phone numbers, so if you can tell tezz i'm coming, but mightn't get there til 6.30 or after.

I am an RDFL man but I reckon we would get mercilessly spanked in that game.
Tend to agree but would be great to test the league and give it something to strive for and see whether we are improving or not.

TAC cup level shows the area is worthy of promising talent, also may give clubs more bargaining power to keep or attract quality players in that age range.

Macedon in the 90's, Pascoe Vale and Gissy i believe! To the older crew on this forum would know the name![/quot

GUN CHF. would make the rdfl team of the 90s easy


I have heard of him and thought that he was a reasonable player but was he that good mongrel? Should be a very handy pick up for what already is a formidable team, if thats the case. Good news for the kangas. What posi would you have Brad Fox play in this team of the 90's, only because I thought CHF would be his spot.

Good call on Fox, but he was dominant in the comp and coulda played anywhere, as could Hawkins.. (I woulda named Hawkins at HF/FP though)

Yawn. Stretch. Wha?! What day is it? Bugger me, time to fire up. Footy's back this weekend!!

What will the week off bring to the comp? Are the Hawks at full strength yet? Are they the real deal? The Rams improved season may have a slight stutter this week, Woodend likely to win by plenty.

What about Diggers? Where have they been all season? Does the break afford them the opportunity to hit their straps? Maybe a few key blokes had the opportunity to get over some niggles? Maybe they're just in for an ordinary year. Big game for them this week, if Centrals turn it on they are a big chance at an upset. Wheelahan and Bullen to lead the Centrals to a hard fought win <3 goals.

Kilmore started strong, but appeared to taper off a little the last couple of weeks. Macedon appeared to be headed for whipping boy status, then came out and beat my Tiges and took it right up to Rockbank. Kilmore to strong here, but it won't be easy. Maybe 5 or 6 goals.

My Tigers have shown marked improvement since the return of Chris Collins and some improved form accross the entire group. Knocked over Centrals then took it up to Romsey. Now I guess we'll get an idea of just how far we have come, a trip to Boardman to take on the unbeaten 'Roos. What about them. More knockers than George W, but just keep winning. More recruits to bolster an already impressive list. Who's gonna stop them? Probably expected to beat Centrals by more last time, and would be expecting to beat us comfortably. But you never know. The Tiges will need there best game to take it up to Sunbury.

Then comes match of the round. No James, no Riddell? Not likely. Somehow last years premiers are getting under the radar (to a point), with the impressive improvements from Woodend and Sunbury. Dropped 1 game, but seem to be in second gear. They've done it, the others are unproven. They go to Romsey to take on a Redbacks outfit that were less than impressive last time. One would suggest that if that sort of performance comes up again this week, Riddell will dismantle them easily.

om·nip·o·tent (Pronounce - om níppatant)

adjective Definition: all-powerful: possessing complete, unlimited, or universal power and authority

Sounds more like me than you OMNI...

Now I understand why my post was deleted when I fired back at omnipotent. Love can be a powerful motivator. Just my opinion!

Last time I checked TBR Lukey was a gun wingman in the RDFL. Haha.

I don't think the CHB experiment worked well last year at all. :D

I don't think LC made last year's team of the year. His brother did though. Not 100% though.

Also, for though Roos fans, Scott Clark is playing tomorrow and Phil Conway is out I'm led to believe.

Mongrel, I'll be at the game by around 3.45, will you be around after the match? I'll shout you a beer or three with my gorilla :D

I make my umpiring debut at Assumption tomorrow morning doing a Year 8 game at the Main Oval.

My official RDFL umpiring commences Sunday at 11.30am in the Under 12s Kilmore v Melton South clash. Will be doing the Under 14s game afterwards at 1pm.

your right mathew, lukey missed out last year on team of the year...had a good year (spent most of first half at CHB) but was pretty under utilised.

once they switched him back to the wing, hes started to find some solid form...heard a whisper that if heathcote go deep in the finals he could be a chance

Yeah i know he's pretty keen to get back onto the track! I would imagine Al would be as well, having quaility utility like him back in the side!
