the leaving of wolsdick is would be no great loss to the kangaroos he is a dud anyway and wouldn't get a game at either sunbury lions (who smashed sebastapol) or rupo, but in saying that with the calibre of player that they attract down their at the kangaroos perhaps they would miss him.
Dudley Hamstrung yes there are good players in all sides, but it is whether they are good players in good sides that separate those that play football. It is easy for a player to go to the Kangaroos and be a star but if that same person were to go to sunbury lions they would struggle to get a game in the twos let alone be a stars.
Anyway it is not the stars that win you games because everyone has them rather it is the depth of quality players on the team and the ability of the team to work together and achieve a common goal. A champion team will beat a team of champions and even sunbury kangaroos can agree with that even though their team wins have come at the expense of injury depleted romsey and riddel teams.
Sunbury and Rupertswood are fortunate to have both champion teams and teams of champions and their results this year and over previous years is testament to this.
Hamstring another point, this is the most relevant place to discuss the level of football in the "sunba" region, why would i go and talk about football in sunbury in the essendon district thread or, geelong thread it has no relevance. Perhpas you have realised the truth in what i said, the kanags are cellar dwellers and will stay there for perhaps maybe 5 more years before everyone gets sick of losing and leaves, then the club folds.

Footy Nerd, your post's on this thread are pointless. You seem to think that the more you re-interate the fact that Rupertswood and Sunbury are better, "yes" so be it. The establishment of the Sunbury Kangaroos was created for guys in the area who didn't want to play the high standard football set by the Lions and Supposedly by Rupertswood. Yes Sunbury and Gisborne are in far better leagues becuase they have money and the a good name in country footy, but Rupertswood may be a good side but are playing an average standard of football right now. Yes they have potential to play B and C grade right now, but they are not.
You also keep pondering the fact that the RDFL is an average league, you opinion means little to the 250 or so blokes from 18's to seniors about what some "Football nerd' on some website think's.
You paste the Sunbury kangaroos week in week out, the point is they don't care and neither should you. You have ties in other clubs by the sounds of things, so you focus should be on your own club. The bannter you speak is degrading the character of the clubs you represent amongst people of your community.
Remember you said you wanted to post things relevant to sunbury, so people of the RDFL can get a full understanding of what the Kangaroos have to put up with. We hope you continue your post's because look, the thread wouldn't be the same without your weekly input of irreleavant information to us. But i do have one question though, perhaps you ask Lachlan Baddely from Rupertswood, how he got to Calder Cannons and who pushed is recommendation after he originally got overlooked? Most people close to Lachlan would know the real answer to this! One thing for sure it wasn't Rupertswood Football Club and it wasn't dave barry his U'16's coach!

Woodend playing on emotion? You mean elation, because their original coach is gone.
They have and will continue to improve over 2nd half of season with an influx of new players since Gonzales left and better coaching.
3-4 quality players will soon force way back into ones and losses of 2 clarks and brown minimal. Your right about brown only being any good against weak sides (although he did make Diggers full back look ordinary)and whilst 1 clark was going alright the other was only in team cause old man was COS.

I think what digger9 means is that with the level of competition in the RDFL just a couple of fine recruits can turn an average side into a grand final favourite.

have to agree with digger 9 and om on this one, with the standard of football played in the riddel league, if one fringe player from either sunbury or rupo went to club in the riddel district that club would almost be assured of a finals appearance. Look at James House and Jimmy McGrath not even fringe players at rupo but have gone onto to play at sunbury kangaroos and all of a sudden the kangaroos are lingering just of the bottom as opposed to past years where they have been firmly cemented on the bottom. Well done to these boys. If a riddel club were to get a key position player or ball winning magnet from sunbury or rupo especially from the powerhouse sunbury they would be assured of at least an undefeated season and 10 goal grandfinal win.
Yes football is a team game but you can't underestimate the importance of one player especially if they are the only rose amongst a field full of thorns as in the case with many teams in the riddel league. Riddel has its rose in Lee James, Diggers has theirs in Chris Payne and Romsey has theirs in Dean Jones

i know sunbury are going so well this year and i happy for them but dose anyone think that they would be more competetive and better suited if they wored harder on keeping there junior at the club because they have developed very good footballers juts to let them leave to ther club eg dylan wright
the reason diggers are so good is all those boys have played together for years - we (kilmore) played them in an under 18s GF in 2002 and i love playin diggers ever since cos its all the same boys in Sims, Bugeja, Dan Reilly and Jon Norris just to name a few - they have stuck together and full credit to them! when u keep that core group for a few years - they all improve together and its just second nature now knowing how each of them play.
Great to see Dan Reilly back from qld - missed him back in round one - if the blues can get up over Woodend this weekend should set up a good one against Diggers the week after!

Gisborne F.C is a perfect example of this, all their senior players either went to school at Gisborne or played juniors at Gisborne ,i think mateship is something that is underated in footy clubs , the current bunch of players Gisborne have at the moment are best of mates, there are no individuals , and that shows with the type of footy they are playing right now , which is winning them games by massive margins . i think a lot of RDFL clubs should take a leaf out of Gisbornes book , and concentrate on working on there juniors that are coming through .goblues09 said:
For anyone who cares , the VCFL announced there 26 man squad today ,with the Bendigo fl having 3 representatives , All Gisborne boys ,Luke Saunders, Michael Dillon and Shane Davis , huge effort , i believe Saunders is a big chance to captain the team .
Yeah your right Diggers would be as close a knit club as there is going around.It is not just those guys who played 18s together but most of those guys plus a fair few others came through Sunbury Lions juniors together before they all crossed to Diggers.Then you have guys like Heritage and Laurie giving up big bucks to play with there mates.Still think Riddel with James are the favourites though.goblues09 said:

i couldnt agree more, however i made a post earlier about their coach glen hopkins surely he has to take some of the credit for their improvement.
you only have to look at his history to see the effect he has on a club.
would you agree.
old saint said:
yeah dont know too much about their coach but obviously has to be given credit - but its good playing diggers cos they are a good bunch of blokes and its the same bunch every year - they are an awesome unit - prob my favourite team to play against!!

Polly, Dylan and yourself were big losses, unfortunately when a club is not successful it is not easy to keep the youth with any talent that still want to make something of themselves, and that is hard at a lossing club. it was very disappointing that you did not want to be a part of the building process but dont forget mate you are always welcome to come back anytime.
The roos got a nice percentage booster yesterday, beating rockbank by 25 goals. next week they play a struggling lancefeild, players that missed yesterday were the likes of Dum Dum, Watson, Baddely & Welsh all due for a return against the tigers, will the roos be better off giving these players another week off and come back against centrals. do they really need these guys to win.
I know you never take lancefield lightly they are always capable of anything they still have very good footballers there.

what happened yesterday did the roos break the spirits at bomberland jamsey played kicked 7 but romsey still come out on top at home, looks like mclellan didn't play either his name was not on the team sheet.
Romsey, Diggers grandfinal with romsey to take the silverware you heard it here cant wait for finals or even the last round it will be very interesting

Good post
By now all would know who this is, yeah James House. Why im talked about so much, i would like to know. I Have nothin against the Rupertswood Football Club or the players, but the statement made by Ditch Davey, which was just a rumour, and a whole lot of **** is beyond a joke. Personal attacks about footy are warranted, but what is stated is a joke.
So anyone who knows who this person is can come forward and speak to myself directly and i am contactable via the club and the coach. There will be a reward for any person naming people who have posted irrelevant information about myself, and they can do this via the club or through Gisborne Police.
Those that know, know what happened..... and it's nothin like the story written here. So from myself, i love bein a Roo because they're mates!
