hey there matty, it looks like that its the sleepless time of the year for you at the moment.
can you give the latest odds for the big night of nights?
for all 3 divs???
not that we encourage underage betting(u18) but would just be good to see who is rated where?

maybe a top 10 or 5 or what ever you can come up with?

or can any one else supply with some good odds? gives the people not going a bit more to follow, and see if we really do know anything about what we are talking about on here.

good luck to all involved in 2007 finals!!!!!!
 
Kilmore defeated Rockbank, but Diggers Rest were able to overcome Lancefield.

The first weekend of the finals should be this:

Woodend-Hesket v Sunbury Kangaroos @ Riddell on Sunday.

Romsey v Diggers Rest @ Woodend on Saturday.

No other scores just yet fellas. I'll be back at 7pm.
 
Riddell beat Kangas by 4 goals in a pretty good hit out for both sides.

Mick Allen kicked 8.1 for the bombers whilst better players for Riddell were

M. Peatling, M. Allen, D. Besanko, J. Allen, T. McDonald & N. Allen.

In the 2s the Kangas were victorious by considerable margin & the Kangas also beat Riddell in the 18s, thus ending their finalls aspirations !

Cornish wraps up goalkicking award with 8.5

Paul Podbury to perhaps miss the RDFL finals series by allegedly calling an umpire a cheat. According to close sources, the umpire told Podbury that he was going to kiss his finals series goodbye. A disgrace if that was said, that umpire shouldn't be officiating. I won't say his name after the backlash I copped last time.

Liam Ryan draws his long and outstanding career to an end. A true Kilmore footballing legend. Premiership player and former captain of the Blues.

Itsmyshow and Halffullonfence to go head-to-head as coaches in the Under 18s elimination final, with the Roos toppling Riddell this morning.

Massive news Matt. I would be surprised if Pods did say that as he is generally very quiet on ground. However his frustrations may have boiled over if smashed again by opposition under nose of umpire like he was against Kilmore a few weeks ago. Im not surprised if umpire said that because they seem to get off on that kind of power unfortunately. If true i expect Pods to cop a few weeks but the umpire should be suspended for remainder of year.

Its a pity Matt Fitzgerald isnt able to carry on the family tradition & win one like his grandfather & father before him !

I seem to have a recolection of Tony Lucas winning one whilst he was at Sunbury, but his name is not here, can anyone shed any light please ?

1984 Shane Muir not from Melton South. Maybe Woodend Hesket?

Early word is that Podbury did not use the word 'cheat'. Anyone who knows the man will know that he's a very honest guy with a lot of integrity! Podbury has umpired at junior level and has never been sent off or reported. The umpire has the right to report people for what he thinks he may have heard but should not make comments regarding penalities in the moment, but rather wait for the right forum. End of the season a bit dramatic Matt-Wadden only got one week for calling an umpire a cheat! I'll be surprised if Podbury goes for any! Looking forward to avery hard contest this week against the roos-any match reports on that game.

There's approximately three hours until the bounce down of the final home and away match of the season.

For Kilmore and Diggers Rest fans, the moment has come.

The Burra are lucky as they have control of whether they play in finals. Kilmore on the other hand, have two things to be concerned about - beating Rockbank and praying Lancefield can cause an upset, their second in a row.

I struggled to sleep last night to be honest, I think I might be more nervous than the players. For me, Broadford also need to win the last match of the round to play finals. As a sports writer, I tend to barrack for all the clubs in my area. There is nothing better than writing about finals.

In the words of Harry, good luck to all those pulling them on today and I'll report back this evening with an update for you all.

It's a ripper day and you can smell finals in the air. Enjoy!! :D

Matt, not sure if this would be of any interest but it may be worth investigating an ugly incident that occured between Romsey's reserve coach and a Woodend player after the reserves game. Didn't see it so dont wish to comment- but do think a bit will come out of it! Not good for the RDFL. I know you have close contacts either side of the fence-so we'll get an unbiased account-Happy hunting.

Rated Woodend slightly above the Kangas this season, but after yesterdays match am not so sure now !

Sunbury's talls up forward lead by Cuffe will be a handfull for the Woodsmen next week & their onball brigade has really stept up a notch with Bonnici dominating around the stoppages.

Should be a ripping contest next week Woodend may need to find another gear to prevail in a must see contest, cant wait !

Cmon Woody, need to give us more than that. Even if you didnt see the incident you obviously know the details from one perspective so rather than sick Matt onto it (he tells us how busy he always is) how about you give us your version of events.
 
:thumbsu::thumbsu: Congratulations to the Sunbury Kangaroos Juniors, 3 Sides in Grand Finals and all come home with a flag. U12, U14 & U16s :thumbsu::thumbsu: Some fantastic games of football

Also well done to the Seniors, First time in the clubs history that we have had all 3 football sides and both Netball sides taking part in the Finals.

Great post Blues12, the Kangas have certainly come a long way since the old Rovers days. Financially sound now too. Just the senior cup the missing ingredient now, which I'm sure will come in the next few years.

Without seeing it FH18 i'm reluctant to hang a man without a balanced argument. To this point in time i only have a Woodend perspective and are not sure what happened leading up to the event. Better for Matt to speak to both camps and give an unbias account rather than a Hawks slant on it!

Congrats' to the Roos on their Junior success, the place should really be jumping down there tonight.

Hope IMS & his cohorts left some beverages for you after their vigorous display yesterday !

After doing some serious digging i believe the incident you are speaking of involved a woodend player leaving the ground & the Romseys 2s coach who allegedly dropped woodend player. Believe romsey has already taken action against coach so hopefully that is the end of the matter. We dont need people like this involved in our league, particularly in an official role. I know the 2 clubs have had a good relationship for a number of years now & would be a shame if that was soured after this incident. Woody can you confirm or deny these facts? Maybe Harry can enlighten us to Romsey perspective.

well mr nicholls is the events dont get a rise in yours jeans then nothing will asfter all that has happend during this weeks games, dose anyonme have any futher info on the romsey saga?
not a good way to finish off the regular season!!!

so now matt and follow posters, now that the votes are in for the medals, can we have a top 5 odds board, to see where the top five stand?
for all 3 divs, maybe not giving out odds for the 18's, maybe just top prospects?
but both seniors and resies should be fine?
i under stand your a bit reluctant to give out odds incase you have to pay up big but it would be good to see how everyone rates people in the leauge?
good luck to all in the finals this year?
 
These are the prospective odds:


ELIMINATION FINALS
Seniors: Romsey $1.85 v Diggers Rest $1.90
Reserves: Romsey $1.95 v Riddell $1.80
Under 18: Macedon $1.45 v Sunbury Kangaroos $2.50
QUALIFYING FINALS
Seniors: Woodend-Hesket $1.55 v Sunbury Kangaroos $2.20
Reserves: Diggers Rest $1.85 v Sunbury Kangaroos $1.90
Under 18: Romsey $1.55 v Diggers Rest $2.20
BOWEN MEDAL
Daniel Bonnici $1.20
Justin Belleville (Bombers) $1.95
Matt Robertson (Kilmore) $3.50
Mark McInerney $10
Dave Cornish $12
Shaun Sims $15
Linton Kemp $20
Any unlisted player: $55
SENIOR PREMIERSHIP
Riddell $1.40
Woodend-Hesket $2.35
Sunbury Kangaroos $4.20
Romsey $12.50
Diggers Rest $20
RESERVES PREMIERSHIP
Woodend-Hesket $1.45
Diggers Rest $2.20
Sunbury Kangaroos $2.50
Riddell $7.50
Romsey $11
UNDER 18 PREMIERSHIP
Woodend-Hesket $1.25
Romsey $2.55
Diggers Rest $3.40
Macedon $5.50
Sunbury Kangaroos $10

I have only seen about five Under 18 games this year so its not fair for me to do a market on the Charlie Watson Medal. Same goes with the Scarborough. I think the top U18 prospects from what I have seen would be: Ben Shippard, Shane Bowen, John Baker (umps love flashy players), Danny Harrison, Chris Burkett, Rob Cini. I have only seen one Kangaroos game and they didn't score, haven't seen Riddell, Rockbank, Macedon or Diggers Rest either.

That's pretty close to the mark, from what i hear. If Romsey's taken action that's great to hear. You must have some good connections at Romsey FH18-good work!

I didn't see the incident as I was preparing for the senior match. I have heard a couple of conflicting stories, none of which I'm prepared to share here for the moment as I would prefer to get my facts straight before posting anything. I will revert back with further info when on hand. Harry's on the case:thumbsu:

Few have done quite well so far, but I'm holding some stupid money on the Bowen Medal that will cover any winnings people have made. Someone plunged $100 my very generous $1.25 for Kilmore win on Saturday. That same person took $20 on Woodend-Hesket to win all three flags at 10-1 about 2 months ago.
