Garth covers alot of ground in a game and has an exceptional set of hands. Chris anchors himself inside the forward 50 and is played alot differently than garth.
I doubt Chris will kick 70 goals, he kicks alot of goals against weaker opposition, rarely has a day out against a side with a decent backline.
Garth on the other hand doesn't kick alot of goals against the weaker sides, but always stands up with 3 or 4 against the stronger sides in the comp.

well if your theory is who stands up against stronger back lines then Arnel Davies would be a shoe in for forawrd pocket this he averages 4-5 gaols against the better sides in the comp and kicking 40 goals from 11 games and in most cases only palying 2qtrs each game then surely he is good enough to make the side. also given the fact that most sides would plan 2 stop arnel would also give greedance to his selection. I agree with You in the games ive seen ploog play he has done well maybe a HFF would suite him but at the end of the day you have 100 players you go pick and 100 doesnt go into 22, so lets just wait and see and then debate after its selected

I agree with you billy, I would put Arnel in any day, in fact, I did in my team if you read back

Have heard that Fawkner may be looking to return, but with Jacana is a new one... Also heard that Rupo is looking to enter a side in the Under 18's comp next year.. That would be a good way to kill off Under 18's for the local sides.


Im not sure if there is any truth to the fawkner jacana rumor just overheard it from one of there spectators while i was in there rooms having a beer.

 

[roge_3]

bring on the finals.who are the teams to beat and who are the danger players

 

[sideshowbob]

why would rupo entering a local u18 side in the rdfl comp kill off the comp for other local sides ?

Actually Chris plays up the ground when Arnel Davis is in the side in general and has even spent time down at FB.Has had a better season than most of the guys listed.

disagree that he doesn't have good days agaisnt good backlines
4 against kilmore round 1 which was the highest by any diggers rest player
3 against kangas only second to arnel
4 agaisnt melton central on last years full back of the year josh armstrong
2 against romsey highest goal scorer for diggers again
4 against wooded highest scorer for the day
agree he doees kick alot of goals against the bad sides but thats what ploog should be doing to. im pretty sure garth has only kicked over 2 goals twice this year in a game and they were both against diggers when did he kick these "3 or 4 against the stonger sides"

 

[marbles_r_red_2]

you sound like a moron so i'll have a bite, riddell played better football, woodend played better football,both clubs smashed us, James is a full forward so he has no major impact on any game of football, if the ball does not get into the forward line it wouldn't matter if he was there or not that has been the problem if it gets there then he will have a huge impact.
as for not talking it up about taking the flag! just wondering where you learn't to read. go back and read all 131 pages and quote every post that that is writen and how many people have said it.[/quot
so what your saying is that full forwards dont have any major impact on the game ? what a load of **** he makes you a 7-8 goal better side when he is playing and any good full forward makes a massive difference to any side . look at james from riddel last year had a huge year and riddell won the flag quite comfortably, reaper when at gisborne won games off his own boot the list goes on
its simple with out him you dont stand a chance, maybe you should try to get him to stick around next year and see how you go with a full year out of him, perhaps you could add a bucket of kfc finest, hot and spicy and some kryspy kream doughnuts to the ammount of coin he gets per goal that should seal the deal !

dogtown, how is big arnel travelling

 

[roge_3]

i had the pleasure of watching the sunbury kangaroos in self destruct mode on saturday and it was a beautifull thing indeed !!!!
the last 2 weeks prooves they are nothing with out james. yes helmers wasnt plaing either but he wouldnt have made a huge difference to the end result.
so where are all the sunbury people now ???
forum has gone quiet now that your not talking it up about taking the flag!
simple no james no sunbury end of story !

marbles i think u may have lost yours.sunbury have been gret all year without james.and i bet most people would agree.as for self destruct?im not sure that id wanna take them lightly.there is two very experienced players to add to the list.

roge3 i agree i have lost my marbles but in saying that yes sunbury have improved dramatically this year and so they should a big town like that should be able to pump out plenty of good players, but james is your key you know yourself its coming down to the business end of the year and sides like riddell and diggers are starting to hit their straps where as sunbury have suffered two massive losses in a row to sides which will be playing in finals. surely this must be a bit of a concern?
he makes you a 7-8 goal better side easily and some of the younger kids in the side may play a little taller when he is about, but james only looks after james and no one else. its good to see sunbury climb the ladder that killed me to say that as i hate the place with a passion, but the simple point im making is i cant see you going far in finals with out james, even with james i believe the occassion will get to them and they will crumble

Getting some touch back the last few weeks.Has to manage his body but he will be right I would say.

Like i said cant you read, i stated that he will have no impact on any game if the ball doesn't go forward, if it does he will have a huge impact.
The case the last 2 weeks the ball just didn't go in enough.

blues i agree that any foward will struggle if the ball doesnt get down there.but come finals i dont think the kangas will have too much trouble doing that.with the likes of the mcinernys,helmers and dumdum,the big fella should be fairly well looked after.

agree with the mcinernys and helmers but dum dum u have got to be joking the 2 kicks i saw him have on the weekend were shocking the first one he kicked it straight to the man on the mark and the other one was turned over with very little distance so if ur relying on dum dum then ur in a world of pain his best footy is well and truly past him

wait and see, it was his first game in 4 weeks, look at the whole side on saturday most of the players were flat, if you saw that side play like that in round 9 you would not have them make the finals.

well marbles u would be a better judge than me on this occasion coz i didnt see the game on the weekend.i havent seen him play this year.i do remember him being quite handy though.i cant wait 2 see next week,cairns vs james.macka vs helmers.strack vs mcinerny. as for the other game.i suspect might be woodend and diggers.wow what a game that will be

 

[COUGHLAN!!@#37]

i agree thats special he has all the potential in the world but why wouldnt step up and take a regular spot in the senoirs ? clearly good enough to , you have blokes like james wright from macedon who is still able toplay under 18,s next week playing in the ones every week as im sure there are others at other clubs doing so as well , so why wont climas take the next step ?

do any of u people no wat these young guns are thinking? mb they just want 2 play with there mates n mb they play 2 games in the 1 day 2 help the club out? if you do play the 2 games as i no quite a few have then it counts as a under 18 game only...i thought all u guys wld of known this but it sounds like ur all past players that struggled 2 get a game in the 2's

Seems as though Riddell are charging towards the finals with a head of steam and have once again become short priced flag favourites (from my sources anyway). But i still see diggers rest as the best TEAM in the RDFL. There was a question a little while back (about who my 2 best choices for the flag or something), sorry i havn't got back to you i've been O/S on business.

Anyway the 2 horse race i spoke of was Riddell & Diggers Rest. Have been impressed by the games i've seen this year, and beleive the 2 will play off in the big one.

Woodend/Hesket on the other hand have been hitting some form and could give the finals series a real shake.

Sunbury Kangas: Now i know you think im pig headed, ignorant, stupid etc etc. But i just cant see them featuring a great deal in the finals, but hey who knows, they may be the suprise packet of the RDFL.

Romsey: No hope!

blues u seem like a man in the know down there at sunbury land.how do u think the romsey boys will go next week against your boys?

i agree with u to a certain extent.riddell are definately my pick.and diggers have been terrific all year too.but i think woodend are areal threat.hopefully your wrong about romsey.and the kangas definately need to improve a lot to match it with the likes of these teams.who knows though,hopefully james and helmers will get lost on their way to the game next week

be the first to agree dum dum played some very good footy over the years but from what i have seen of him this yr his best footy is well and truly past him

finals games plenty more people there so no doubt he will cop a little extra from over the boundary line and has shown he cant ignore that be interesting to see how he handles it
