kilmore lost by 12 points to riddell was a great sign of things to come for the season, dissapointing thing for kilmore was promising young player chris george breaking his jaw n dislocating his shoulder in the 1st half, riddell were just abit to strong for us around the ground, belleville n blade killed us.
kilmore 2nds lost by 4 points. unlucky not to win both games but positive signs for the yr ahead

that must have been a decent bump by the sounds??
Some good footy played yesterday, I was lucky to spend most my time getting soaked at Kilmore, but saw enough of Romsey and Lancefield to be impressed.
The story of the round was a knee injury to Chris Collins, which could sideline him for a number of weeks, if not the season. Let's hope its just a few games.
It seems that apart from the Woodend-Hesket game, my tips were probably the closest.
Sunbury Kangaroos by 3 points. - they won by 8pts
Riddell by 20 points. - they won by 12 points
Lancefield by 60 points. - they won by 57 points
Romsey by 52 points. - they won by 39 points
Woodend-Hesket by 45 points. - they won by 94 points
Did anyone catch the game at Gilbert Gordon? Were Macedon really bad or the Hawks really impressive? I noticed that Sippy didn't play, which is a good sign for Woodend-Hesket fans.

A Collins knee injury is huge news... I noticed Mick Allen kicked 5 yesterday, Van, did he dominate the game? I wondered how he would impact a game when he didn't have Jamesy next to him, obviously will still have quite an impact.
Anyone have anything on the Romsey V Centrals game??? How did Connellan go in his return game.

Kicked 5.4 i think. Was a little bit too classy for the Blues' defenders in the wet.
Connellan dominated in the ruck for Romsey. But probably didn't give the midfielders a great chance. Will only get better as the communication builds.
Kilmore were very good, but have always been good wet weather players, as seen last year against Romsey. It's a hard measuring stick but they have improved significantly.
One thing I noticed a little bit that I haven't seen before was some "in-fighting" by some Riddell players on the field. Maybe they were rattled a little bit, but I'm sure it will be ironed out this week.
Wished I was there joeblow. didnt make the trip up.

Just wonderin if anyone know's a Lee James who use to play in this league last year i think, and has moved to play for mulwala up near yarrawonga?
Allen was a class above in the conditions, a goal in the 3rd term where he shook off two tackles, rode a bump and slotted a long bomb was as good as you'll see this year I reckon (especially in the wet).
Good signs for Kilmore in that they never chucked it in, fought the final term out to the end. Id say it was time on in the 2nd (Riddell 2 goals) and a strong 10 minutes either side of 3/4 time that held sway for the visitors.
Some great desperate plays by Kilmore in the dying stages, but twice blokes on a wet day went one handed when the game was there to be won, didnt get the body in line but overall a good first up performance against quality
matt it looks as though mongrel was correct with his tip in this game.
had it been a dry day as expected,150 points would have been definately within our grasp
True, I may have overrated Macedon, who by all reports will not win a game this season, and underrated Woodend-Hesket.
The Hawks have always been good wet weather players, but any of the top six sides (Redbacks, Burras, Roos, Blues, Hawks and Bombers) wouldn't want to take any games for granted because it'll be easy to drop a couple.

Had a beer or 5 with the new GM on Saturday nite and very impressed with his vision for the future. Sharpe was very good but i think you might find down the track they have recruited very well with Scott. He also introduced me to "BONGO" which was a very funny part of the nite......
He can see into the future????
BONGO is a very smart man.

What a cracker! … Sunbury Kangaroos v Diggers Rest
Touted as the match of the round, this one didn’t let the fans down.
At Clarke Oval in Sunbury, it was a battle of the titans in tough conditions for football.
Diggers Rest held a handy 11-point lead at half time, but a four goal third term had the game back on the Kangaroos’ terms.
With just seven points separating the two sides going into the last quarter, coaches Jarrod Dixon and Glen Hopkins were desperately looking for match winners in their ranks.
Daniel Bonnici, as he had done in the previous three terms, continued to get under the Diggers Rest radar and combined with the McInerney brothers, Damian Niki and Nathan Hole to secure the Rob Boyd trophy for the Roos.
Player of the round … Michael Allen (Riddell)
With Lee James missing from the Bombers’ line-up in 2007, Riddell needed someone to fill the gaping hole left by the former Bowen medallist.
On Saturday, despite the wet conditions, Mick Allen stood tall inside 50 against Kilmore.
The agile forward booted five goals in trying conditions, but it was his defensive pressure to keep the ball in Riddell’s scoring zone that proved most valuable.
Coach of the round … Mick Giddings (Woodend-Hesket)
Despite losing some key forwards in the off season, Hawks’ coach Mick Giddings has built a good attack around a strong midfield.
Against Macedon, Woodend-Hesket ran in numbers, protected the ball carrier and delivered well to leading forwards.
While the Cats look to have been depleted through departures over summer, Giddings men looked well drilled and will be keen to play against some of the stronger sides in the RDFL.
He's a keeper … Dave Keenan (Romsey)
Recruited from Rupertswood along with his brother Robert, Dave Keenan showed plenty for the Redbacks on Saturday.
He combined well on the half-back line with Paul Brady and Tim Cox to repel just about all of Melton Central’s forward thrusts.
Keenan also showed confidence to drift forward and deliver the ball inside 50, proving a valuable recruit to co-coaches Mark Dipietro and Darren Lingard.
Who'd have thought? … Chris Collins would do his knee
Silence has never been more deafening than the hush heard at Lancefield Park on Saturday.
Shivers went down the spines of every Lancefield supporter as playing coach Chris Collins went down with what possibly could be a season-ending knee injury against Rockbank.
The former Bendigo Bomber appeared to injure a ligament in his knee while chasing the ball late in the game.
Collins’ injury will no doubt keep him on the sidelines for at least a number of weeks, with the full diagnosis not known at this stage.
At worst, he could have ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), which would mean season ending surgery.
Keep an eye on … Kilmore
The Blues were very impressive against the reigning premiers on the weekend.
While it is hard to get a benchmark from wet weather football, Kilmore showed the RDFL world that they are ready to make the next step in 2007.
Rarely backing down from a contest, and fighting out for the full duration, it was just one quarter – the third – which cost the Blues the match.
They fielded eight players that had never played at J.J. Clancy Reserve before, and another handful who had returned to the club, so there is still a lot of improvement left in Terry Ahearn’s side.
