Some good banter here fellas, just a couple of additions:



OMNI, Bladey was a superstar on Saturday. Roswell said so, Belleville said so, all the Kilmore boys thought so.

I think you blokes should all read the article on centralsport.org this afternoon when it goes up. GoBlues09, I gave the Kilmore defence a lot of kudos. I thought you blokes fell down across half-forward for much of the day. There really hasn't been much talk about Rysa's performance either. Superb!

no dark horse will win the bowen this year.
the elite players are playing too well for that to happen
CANDIDATES:

1.m.robertson
2.j.beleville
3.d.bonnicci
4.m.mcinerny

maybe some one from another club can give us their teams best performed player so far to add to this list?

My dark horse has to be Linton Kemp. With bright red hair and always repelling the opposition, he will stand out for Kilmore.

 

[Harry Wilson]

I don't think Jamie Cuffe will get anywhere near Bowen contention. Coming in to the game this late in the season, as good a footballer is he is/was, he's no chance. That's even if the man takes the field. I have it on pretty good authority that the clearance was only signed to get committee off of his back. Due to previous injuries it could be very dangerous for him to play. The Roos may need marital approval prior to the big fella taking the field.

Is there any truth to this rumor, IMS?

 

[Itsmyshow]

Having now seen both teams ims(or anyone else), what do you think will be the pivotal match ups for the top of the table clash ?

Matchups that could decide the game will be IMO

Adam Johnstone Vs Aaron Blade - Both underrated midfielders that are their sides barometer's, whoever wins this contest could have a huge impact on the result.

Luke Barker Vs Mark Peatling - Barker will return for this one, can he have an immediate impact. Peatling has been one of the best defenders in the competition.

Rick Dowling Vs Nick Ash - Dowling sets the tempo for the Hawks, Ash is a quiet achiever who is rarely beaten. One of the best matchup's on the day.

Heath Wadden Vs Kar Weng Ng - Probably wont happen, but I can dream cant I???

James Petran Vs James Hardwick - Petran is in awesome form, Hardwick is a solid defender, if Petty gets his hands on it early, look out...

James Climas Vs Danny Sipthorp - Give the kid a crack Scooter, I reckon he could not only go with Sipthorp but it would be an outstanding matchup.

Not bad IMS

However who do the hawks play on Mick Allen, Bomber and Harrison.
And the Bombers on Jimmy Forrest, Salpie ??

Well the injury side of things isn't true, Jamie has all clearances he needs to return to the football field.. The marital thing, who knows, that's Jamie's private life I would suggest...

I was only talking key matchup's in my opinion Rodz... It would take me all day to go through every position.. I might try a likely lineup later

Just quicky though ill have a crack at these.

Brayden Allen on Forrest, Leitch on Salpie.

Else on Allen, Bomber is overseas, Harrison will play wing, dont know if Woodend will do any more than have his opponent keep an eye on him, whether it be Bowen or Cuinik...

The main thing is he wants to play football for the Sunbury Kangaroos and is going to play football for the Sunbury Kangaroos!

 

[Trueblueroo]

Woodend will loose if they worry about to many match ups and who is running with who! Let Woodend play their game and try and stop Riddell playing there's, and worry about match ups as they happen! Belveille is the only one i would watch!

Nathan Milner and Phil Conway would be high up in Lancefields B&F, but I doubt we've won enough games to see them win the Bowen.

 

[Digger52]

Can anyone tell me if the woodend v riddell game has been changed to sunday at all .Would get a good crowd though.

 

[carntheroos4eva]

Romsey 7 wins 3 losses
Kilmore 5 wins 5 losses

Diggers Rest 4 wins 6 losses
Lancefield 3 wins 7 losses
Macedon FC 2 wins 8 losses
Melton Central 1 win 9 losses
Rockbank 1 win 9 losses.

 

[Ballsy]

The highlights for the year so far would have to be the inclusion of a lot of talented players coming back to the RDFL and making the competion better for it. Kangaroos recruited well and are now a genuine force, with Woodend they have a good mixture of old and young and Riddell still up there being a threat again. The lower sides have improved tremendiously with them all being a chance this year to knock off a side above them ie Centrals and Romsey, Kilmore and Riddell, Diggers and the Roos etc.. Rockbank now give everyone a run for there money and need some good recruits next year.Good luck too Macedon and Lancefield putting some faith in there younger brigade (Coach, Captain and V/Captains) they will only get better and hope you can recruit well in the off season to make the comp stronger next year. Too the lower sides chin up and keep giong we all know how hard it is down the lower end ( All been there at some stage) and keep pushing all the sides. Finals in all grades certainly going to be the best for a number of years very even competion. Bring it on!!

Had Kilmore of played four quarters Riddell would have played four quarters. Did you ever stop to think that perhaps Riddell were too good in the second and third terms and didn't allow Kilmore to play good. Ask anyone on this thread, I am Kilmore's biggest admirers, but the Bombers did enough to win on Saturday. The focus goes to this weekend's game.

thats utter rubbish pickles u cant say that had we played four quarters that riddell would have, it makes no sense at all matt. we all know that you admire us but sometimes ur focus is very slim and you dont acknowledge when a side actually outplayed the best side in the leg due to our fitness

 

[vantheman32]

Could we get a bigfooty medal for next year, a rep from each team if we can find them, can give votes on each game, to stop possible bias.. I imagine it would be closer to what the blokes on here would expect..

Rodriguez that is a really good idea mate, seeing as quite often the top 6 named on a weekend are often bewildering, and in my belief incorrect as to input into games just from my perspective at kilmore.

Van, sometimes when you are playing in a match its hard to see the whole picture. You could say the same thing about me watching from the sidelines. Get tomorrow's paper, read what I have to say and see if you disagree. If you do I'm more than happy to discuss what you think was wrong.

Riddell were coming off games against Romsey and Sunbury Kangaroos. No matter how easy they won in those games they were still tough. It was a heavy track on Saturday and you blokes were coming off games against Rockbank and Macedon.

I thought the Blues were sensational in the first and last terms, they played the game on their terms. But my opinion was that Riddell were only going to do enough to win the game. Putting two blokes behind the ball in the last 10 minutes of the match is a great sign for you guys, you don't often see Rowsell resort to those tactics.

Very, very astute tb, dont know that it will make much difference with the kinda form he is in though !

very true omni one of the hardest players to stop when he is at his best

 

[OMNIPOTENT_1]

Give your game the flick champ & come up & watch,(spy) they've even re-stocked the bar with your favorite tipple since you were last there & cleaned em out !

 

[Mongrel]

Bellville has been a class act in this comp 4 numerous years now.and from what i hear he has dominated most games.
i thought leigh mcinerny was a shoo in b4 his suspension but now im on beleville.his team always wins and he always plays well no matter who tags him.hopefully the old fossil lines up on him round 18 just 2 keep him honest.but seeing i couldnt run with him ill wish him all the best.also m.mcinerny,m.robertson and d.bonnicci will be polling in a very big way.good luck 2 all
