I dont necessarily want you to jump on the hawks wagon Matt, but could you review your predictions after our win against Riddell and sneak us into the final five. Riddell lucky not to lose by a lot more after Hawks missed quite a few shots on goal. But thet will still be a very good team particularly after Bluey and Peatling return. I know Riddell had a few out but here's a few names for the Hawks who didn't play yesterday Danny Sipthorpe, Ninga, David Patterson, Banga (new recruit-rover very classy) and Jubes (all proven senior players). Not to mention quite a few players in the 2's pushing for a senior game. I agree to talk about premierships be it odds is a little too soon. Any other results on the other games Matt?

From my pre-season predictions, I think I have underrated the Hawks and Kilmore and overrated Diggers Rest, who I think rely too much on Payney and Walker to kick goals. But I had a crack and I admit I was probably wrong with the top-five ... time will tell.

Romsey d Diggers Rest by 7 goals.
Melton Central d Rockbank by 2 goals.
Sunbury Kangaroos d Macedon by 22 goals
Woodend-Hesket d Riddell by 4 goals.
Kilmore d Lancefield by 22 goals.
 
Romsey with a big win over the Burra, Andrew Page playing some good football for Diggers along with Dan Reilly and Steve Hoare, Romsey are looking the goods at this stage, maybe Mr Nicholls prediction wasn't that far off, with Benjamin John playing good football along with recruit Justin Binney it will be good to have a look at the Redbacks this week.

The Hawks asserted themselves as flag favorites with a strong win over the reigning premiers.. With Brendan Fennell, James Hardwick and Dean Egan up front the Hawks are going to be tough to topple. Riddell had many missing on the weekend and will improve with every game they play, as long as they continue to get improvement from guys like Daniel Burke and Troy Mariner they will continue to be a force this year.

Kilmore had a very impressive win on Saturday against a Lancefield side that was tipped to improve. Kilmore have strengthened thier side with guys such as Glenn Barnes lifting this year along with Kelvin Ford and Cody Franks the Blues are going to be a force in 07, Lancefield struggled on the weekend, but the Tigers will only improve in the coming weeks with young guns like Nathan Milner getting some game time and getting better.

Centrals only just got over the line against the Rams, with the Rams pushing them the whole way. Centrals need more from Matt Jarrett and Nathan Powell if they are to be more competitive this year. The Rams are showing good signs, Neale Oliver looks to be a great recruit and along with Jamie Stafford and other youngsters in the side the Rams have a base to build on.

Macedon, while on the receiving end of a loss this week showed some really good signs on Saturday, the young Cats use the ball pretty well around the ground but are breaking down when they go forward, Coach Christianson will well be impressed with players such as Scott Knight and Scott Phillips. Macedon will improve by seasons end.

That is my wrap up for Round 2.. I'd like to say, thank you very much to my mentor.. You know who you are... :thumbsu: ;)

Heard rumor yesterday that Wallan has folded. Anybody aware of this?

This was talked about last week or 2, if true, Kilmore could be in line to pick up a few more players. Wallan have under 19s and 17s.
Would there be any chance of the under 18 competion making some late changes and including Kilmore if they were able to snag any of the kids? I believe they were only about less than 10 players short of feilding a team this year.
Could be some mixed reactions if this were to happen but overall i think it would be for the good of the RDFL.
This could be kilmores chance.

Woody agree the hawks could have kicked a few more in the last quarter, but I think the hawks would be a liitle more hungry at this early stage of the season, I think with the class Riddell have in there team of which probably didnt have their best day, they'll be right there again, Woodend would expect to make the top5 but there will at least 6 even teams pushing for those 5 spots. I think Diggers will bounce back too they'll have a couple of good wins and get rolling again. Thought last year was even! This one could be even closer!

haha nice one doon, thing is that no1 wants to play at wallan there has to be someone doing the wrong thing down there either on the coaching staff or on the committee?
 
not much talk for a monday after what was a pretty good round of footy, i think we need a few more members to liven up the board
 
I know the full story but sorry lads, won't be airing anyone's dirty laundry here.

Lets just say Nic Dyer (coach) has moved on from the Under 18s due to a clash with several club people.

Not good for the Romsey Football Club.

Not like it won't come out anyway Matt, just how twisted it becomes is the worry. Bit of a shame for the Romsey footy club. Any word on a fallout? Are they likely to lose anyone out of this or is everyone behind the decision?

Surely must be something up as from Satdy's side Kemp, Colliss, Cornish, Keenan, Tomsky and Hutchison all have Wallan ties.

had heard a couple of the boys say that it was not a great environment down there to be playing footy, as most the boys also had ties with kilmore this may have been a factor in swaying them to come up to JJ Clancy, as kemp played at kilmore a couple of years back and colliss joined last year after playing cricket with kilmore, my belief is that the hutchisons played junior footy at kilmore and i know cornish is best mates with brad colliver
 
vantheman, doona, other kilmore posters,
confirmed today that the move is on. looking to move up mid to late june.
wondering if you fellas might know of anyone looking for a roommate for 12 months or so. hoping by then to have funds to buy. i think the boss is going to ask around as well, but thought i'd approach you fellas too.
