Give us the run down from last night fellas, who won what, team of the year, rookie etc etc???

It's next Monday night Doon. Don't worry, Matt Nicholls has it covered :D

Also everyone should get a copy of The Free Press this week. It has all your R18 details, finals previews, Bowen Medal preview, Ryan Medal preview, My Team of the Year, The Rookie of the Year rundown and plenty more! It will be circulated at Bowen Medal night, but for those of you who aren't going or can't wait that long, you can get copies in Riddells Creek, Romsey, Lancefield, Wallan, Monegeetta, Darraweit Guim and Kilmore.
 
Save me a copy we don't get the Macedon Gazzette in Macedon.
Have to see what I can do for you there... Its a popular publication around Kangaroo land...

Geez I hope the mighty Broady Roos gets some space, first time ever all 7 teams will contest finals, not to mention our B & F count and the big clash with Heathcote on Sunday :D

All the Bowen Medal night stuff is a full-out feature, which is paid for by advertising. And you already know we didn't have a lot of space this week champ, don't rock the boat :cool:

I promise the Broady game will be back page this week and we'll do a proper story on Wearny, a worthy winner. It'll be a huge day at Toolleen

Doona, where is this game being played? I could be chance to get down there to see what should be a cracking game.
 
Jose is value and it does not look like he is in the market. From results, he has had a great second half to the year. Will the team of the year heavily be filled with the boys from Riddel. It will no doubt feature at least a quarter of the players . Any thoughts?

A nice team there IMS. But five players you mentioned won't be getting a run. Romsey coaches didn't turn up to the meeting apparantly, so Kairns is the only one that got a run from the Redbacks. Hardwick didn't make it, but was stiff, and my sources say Mick Allen didn't get named on the ground. Instead Jeremy Jose was named in a forward pocket!!
 
Congratulation to J.Jose taking out Diggers Rest best and fairest on Sunday. Would have to be very close to making the team of the year somewhere

Yep, I know... But this isn't the team that was picked by the coaches, it is my team... :D Some of our coaches may have suffered a little from Brain Freeze at the Clarkefield pub on that Wednesday night.... :eek:

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.

A Romsey perspective on this, as I have been advised, because I didn't see the incident, was after the final siren had gone, all players and coaches were shaking hands. One particular Hawks player wouldn't shake the hand of an official. He was then refered to as a "weak ......" such and such. He was then alleged to have charged at the official, who turned and used his body to stop the player. The player then hit the ground. All of the other players then rushed over (which we would all do if we found ourselves in that situation), a scuffle broke out, a relation to a senior Hawks footballer was then alleged to have entered the field to challenge a Romsey player and he was promptly convinced by that said player, that he had indeed made the wrong decision.

As I understand it, the club is dealing with the incident. I don't know the particular details about how it is being dealt with. Hope that sheds some light.
 
Congratulation to J.Jose taking out Diggers Rest best and fairest on Sunday. Would have to be very close to making the team of the year somewhere
Jeremy actually polled 33 votes in the last 6 rounds with the Burras,(and did not play last round).
Also congratulations to Mick Sheahan who took out Ressies B&F by 3 votes from my tip for League Ressies medal B.Allan.
Dylan Hannnan won the18s B&F (not bad considering he played 6 senior games early in the season.
Anyone else want to let us know there club B&Fs ,oir is it too early.

By the way, just wanted to add, that you could easily have put in Jose or Stacey in the place of Connellan. Dowling, Johnstone from Woodend very stiff to miss out, sure everyone would have differing opinions.. Thats fine, you cant fit everyone in. The other would be Brayden Allen from Riddell, a bit stiff to miss out too... :thumbsu:

Yeah I don't know what they were doing. They seemed to get most of the players right but had them in ridiculous postions.

Jason Allen at FB, Salter at CHB, Walker in a BP, Jose in a FP, Allen on INT.

Bit early for us, not until October.. :thumbsu:

Riddell - 4
Kilmore - 4
Sunbury Kangaroos - 4
Diggers Rest - 3
Woodend/Hesket - 2
Lancefield - 1
Rockbank - 1
Melton Central - 1
Romsey - 1
Macedon - 1

Surely Kilmore can't have 4 players in the team of the year and Woodend only 2

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.


hey matt awesome odds for the results of everything going on in the leauge, seens how youdidnt get to many of the 2's games dose anyone else out in there have an idea of what the leader board might look like?
maybe not with odds or votes?

Im sure I had one in there... Nope, guess not.. I can try an 18's side, I am sure ten of your boys would get in...

Would rather have seen Underwood win it, played just about every game and didn't see him beaten, even when Diggers were struggling in the first half of the year he held the backline together when Jeremy wasn't around! Granted Jose had a stellar second half of the season, but for mine Underwood was better value over the year. Cant help but think these awards and teams of the year are picked more on reputation rather than performance at times. Did Underwood even finish in the Top 3??
