Sorry to the Macedon Boy's. You played with heart and for each other! Even after my rant I still considered you played far more superior football on Saturday. Sorry to hijack your win..

There's obviously no point arguing with you, but how can the captain of the team and one of their closest followers say I did a good job but you still disagree?
Of course I heard you all rise as one, the only thing that proves is you are all Sunbury Kangaroos supporters. I also heard comments 3 minutes into the game telling me you know where I lived.....If that was a suggestion of bias, how can you judge that in 3 minutes of football

It's the beauty of opinions RMFO.... From my opinion, with the lowly ranked sides all performing on the weekend in their contests, the Kangaroos were the worst performed side, I am sure had Diggers not lifted in the 2nd half they would have been the worst performed but in poor conditions they fought back from 40 points down.
well for starters MO FO there is a reason i didn't put anything about the other umpire!! i think reece done a great job after half time and was good in the first half and i will stand by that.. now tell me why your worrying about where ims put us on HIS preformance list. cause to me its his opinion. i have read all his babble after riddlle and then this week and was going to reply to it but thought i have seen him coach and heard he may have played a few senior games many years ago where he may have got a few kicks.
however as much i like the bloke its only his opinion which i dont rate highly and thats my opinion!!! but if your worrying about what he writes mate your worrying about the wrong things.... HIS proformance list is exactly that HIS not our clubs!! ps. i wonder if this will get me a red card

Nope... Why would it, that is about as spot on as you have ever been and you are not spot on very often...
Whether anyone rates my opinion or not, it is only my opinion and shouldn't need a disclaimer...
Ps. I think you are a good guy too pal with very little knowledge and an excellent footballer on your day in the RDFL ranks , and you know what, I have known your opinion (along with your brother's) for many years and I have said it before and shall say it again, that is your opinion and you are more than entitled to have it....
little knowledge i might just leave that 1 alone!!!!
What's the likely final team for Saturday, IMS?

Grub, This forum is all about opinions. Debating with points to back up your opinions is the true way to do it. Both umpires set the tempo with there bad calls. I'm only potting Rhys cos he is clearly the better ump.
Grub as a senior player you put up with an umpire's inconsistancy in the first half. Then when they umpire "better" in the second half you say that is ok. But you approached the umpires at half time. Only you and the ump's will know what was said. But for them to umpire "better" in the second half means they changed thier tact. What about your players trying to adjust to umpires call's in one half and then the umps are different In the second half players again have to re-adapt.
Consistancy is the key!
Hey mate if paid players/ teams can be critiszed. Then So can the umps. they get paid. Just like the rest of you.

Not arguing with you mate. Just putting facts out there. Its a discussion/debate. Yes i was harsh on you. but i'm not making stuff up! Just reporting what I saw. I know for a fact that Grub was filthy with you and your colleague at half time. Hence why he spoke to you two at half time.
Just because IMS is one of our closest followers doesn't mean he is right! Plus he is part of the Ri Diculous Football League. So he has forced love for the rdfl and it's employees!
Hmmm, having interleague training on a Thursday night, so if a team wants to use their best players in training drills for an up coming match, they cant do this, due to their best players being at interleague training, ordinary decission, i'm all for the interleague game, but training should not clash with club training.We will find out tomorrow night after training Matt
And the showers were a discrace.
Hey george how are those showers going, hopefully they'll be all sorted for next week.
If your still having problems with the council, speak to the league to act on behalf of opposition clubs, perhaps draft a letter for them to forward on.What was the deal at Macedon on Saturday the canteen closed at 1/4 time of the seniors The burgers at the BBQ were good, although that closed about 1/2 time.
Do people find it acceptable to run out of anything mid season
How is a man supposed to fill his large and empty stomach.

Spoke to them today. Assured me that they will be fixed by next week. I'll test them out and let you know before next weeks game!
As a neutral observer and someone who attended the Macedon v Sunbury game last weekend i've read with interest all of the comments in relation to the standard of umpiring. For the record i thought the umpiring was very good and had no bearing on the result. Rhys, without a doubt is the league’s best umpire and his weekends performance was indicative of this. The problem with all this talk of umpires’ performance is that it runs the risk of taking the shine off an outstanding win by the cats. I thought Macedon led Sunbury to the ball for the majority of the game (I wouldn’t mind hearing Mongrel's thoughts on that point). They looked the more committed side from a physical stance and without knowing all the stats looked as if they would have won more of the contested ball. That last point often translates to more free kicks. Surely that’s what we want from our umpires-the team that is prepared to take the risk of making the play, winning the hard contested ball or are simply more committed physically as I thought Macedon was, should get the free kicks.
For the record it would've been easier for IMS to toe the party line and ramble on about how poor the umpiring was, but it was refreshing to read an honest account of what he witnessed!
On Macedon, they loom as a real smokey this year to go deep into the finals, their playing a very exciting but physical brand of footy at the moment. Confidence is a wonderful, but essential ingredient in footy.
Same thing was being said this time last year.

No it wasnt really doona. I dont think they were ever considerd a threat last year nor are they this year. They are still very young and although they are very good on there day they are probably still not ready to challenge the likes of riddell come september. If they can maintain there list they will eventually pull off the big one. Any scores or results on inter league match against sfl?
We thought ya's were 2nd to Lancefield last year, but we did meet you when both McCarthur boys were still playing and ya's were up and about and relatively injury free.

RDFL Interleague Game
Well, regardless of results etc, Saturday was a fantastic day, from start to finish and before I start I would just like to say a big congratulations to all players from both the Under 18 side and the Senior side for representing the league with pride and respect all day....
The bus arrived at the ground just on quarter time of the Under 18 game that provided the spectators at the ground with a fantastic curtain raiser to the main game. In a repeat of the game from 12 months ago, both of these sides gave everything in a see-sawing contest that had more twists and turns than a roller coaster. Eventually the young RDFL guys got over the line with young Kangaroo Mitch Strieff a standout, I think in the end he booted 4 or 5 goals (not totally sure of his final tally).
The senior boys were pumped up at the opportunity to represent the league and even though our preparation for the game wasn't the best in the end, we were extremely proud of the group of young men assembled to represent the competition.
The first quarter began at a frenetic pace, both sides attacked the ball extremely hard and while the SFL clearly had an advantage early around the stoppages with their ability to use handball to create space, the RDFL boys, the backline in particular, were up for the challenge. The SFL dominated early but the RDFL were able to hold up and eventually control the ball through the middle stages of the quarter, Cam Dawson in particular a standout, his contested marking and ability to find space creating headaches for the SFL, he had two shots on goal and three opponents as the opening quarter drew to a close, the RDFL unable to capitilize on what was a pretty good opening, trailing 0.3 to 1.1 at quarter time.
The second quarter saw the SFL step up a gear, they were really getting on top in the stoppages and were first to the ball, breaking tackles freely and winning contested situations, but the RDFL boys, as we knew they would, refused to lie down, Tom Waters and Leigh Fishenden were giving everything in the ruck contests and Waters in particular on the ground was giving a great contest. Dawson, who had been quiet early in the quarter again started to find the ball, first with a free kick that he set up Meacham for the RDFL's first goal, then assisting in a goal to Dean Smith-Whiting, after letting the SFL kick away a little, the RDFL had narrowed the lead and went into the half time break 23 points down.
After half time the RDFL midfield started to break even in the stoppages, Shaun Sims who had a great first half moved onto one of the SFL's best stoppage players in the first half and shut him out of the contest, allowing Carl Groth, Dean Smith-Whiting and Craig Marshall to win clearances, but the SFL were able to control the middle stages of the quarter and looked to be well on top pushing the lead out to 40 points at one stage before the Cam Dawson/Dean Smith-Whiting show started to wind up. Groth, Jim Turner and Matthew Welsh were finding plenty of the ball through the middle while Kane Bullen was providing plenty of dash and drive from the half back line. Smith-Whiting kicked a beautiful goal around his body followed by a mark and goal set up by Dawson and Sims. When Jim Turner goaled the RDFL had slashed the lead to 23 points and had a slight sniff going into the last term.
An early goal the Smith-Whiting had the RDFL boys up and about early in the final term, but the signs were starting to show that the RDFL had given everything in the tank. Cole Laurie was finding plenty of the ball while John Ryan continued his outstanding afternoon, continually winning contests against the monster SFL full forward. But in the end, the SFL were able to kick away as the RDFL boys just ran out of puff, the SFL recording a comfortable 45 point win, but don't take anything away from any of the players that represented the league, they gave everything they had until they had nothing left and did themselves and all RDFL supporters very proud.....
