What are everybody's thoughts on the putrid jumpers the rep side have?
All green,what were they thinking.The last jumper with the yellow and white panels were great why did they need to change it again?

Well done to the SFL rep side on their win, it was a great day of football with the lead back and forward all day with SFL getting over the line in the last quarter. I'm sure the boys will enjoy the bus trip home with a few ales.
It was quite cold, little bit of wet stuff but thankfully the snow stayed away

Great effort by the Riddell league to get within a kick of the SFL. Based on talent alone the SFL should've won by a lot more. Also the depth of our league 28 clubs to 11 should've shone out and provided with a lot easier victory. It seemed to me that the SFL struggled to kick goals? Where we're our supposed gun forwards? Maybe the SFL didn't get their mix of players right? Something to ponder for next year i think. At least we won i guess otherwise it may have been a little embarrassing...
Yes, has changed dramatically, for the worse! A few handy types running around in the late 90's, Condon, Young, Minton-Connell, Jayson Daniels, Bullus, Morwood's etc., ever heard of 'em? Have a bit over the fringe player's you mentioned! Time you got into the real world and not hide behind fantasy's.
The fact is you lost your super-power's in Noble Park & Balwyn to the EFL, and while both recruited heavily ex AFL & VFL stars, both struggled in their initial seasons. Also wasn't Parkdale a regular finalist? Gone. A few other's combined with VAFA sides, gone. (mainly to get grounds). It makes me laugh how you actually believe the competition has improved. I was right initially, you are delusional.
I know that St. Kilda City spend plenty, but fact is they would only finish around 4th in Div. 2 EFL. A year adjusting to the tempo could see them win a flag, but they would be non-competitive EFL Div. 1 (same personnel). Your next 3 would be middle lower Div.2. Dingley middle of road Div.3. Springy D. would win 4 or 5 games Div. 3 at best. Clayton may or may not beat winless Mitcham in Div.3.
Well done on beating the RDFL by a whopping 3 pts. Hardly, have the VAFA or EFL shaking in their boots.
Strange how you've never been able to beat low grade VAFA sides?

maybe instead of paying out on the SFL you should stick to the other boards where people might listen to you. Boards that you seem to take interest in such as Neil Young etc etc, probably in your old age it would be best suited to you?

Did you even go to see this game? or see the list of players who player? Far from our best side.
Not paying out on the SFL, just paying out on delusional people such as yourself. If you had any brains perhaps you would have an understanding, and also knew you would reply with your typical immaturity.
So your bagging the player's who were good enough to represent the SFL. How low can you go?

no bagging from me, great effort bye the colts to just go down.with the coaches out there helping these young men, the future looks very good for clubs with colts .just hope they can keep there players at there clubs and other clubs keep away.
We need to put it onto perspective... Both SFL Teams were slapped together in three weeks and I don't know how you can get a team to "gel" or get them to play to a game plan in such a short time. I would suggest the Riddell League was in a similar situation.
If they want to get fairdinkum about interleague they need to supply incentives (not necessarily financial) to train for 5-6 weeks.
Pretty poor by the SFL waiting until players arrived at Macedon before telling them they would not be playing!!!
Agreed, but what can you do? It's the same reason the AFL doesn't do interstate games any more, if they can't come up with a solution to force people to play, how can we? My theory has always been to take the same approach as the NFL, which is to play the "pro bowl" the week after the grand final, where it isn't so important if people get injured.
Agreed here, but same thing. AFL take at least 1 and sometimes 2 emergencies on an interstate trip, and those 1-2 players will unfortunately miss out on a game that week in most cases. SFL had to take some emergencies, but 5-6 were a bit too many people to leave in the dark. Perhaps the coach wanted to change up to 4 based on conditions?
Out of curiousity, who were the unlucky 5-6 blokes?

The RDFL also put the team together in about three weeks , and had a lot of trouble getting players to commit . Rep footy is a great idea but you will never get the best players on the park mid season . The Riddell football club have only lost one game in the last 27 they have played yet only had one player available for this game , sort of makes it hard to take anything from the result.

Why is it that people automatically look at the negatives from a game like this.. For those that were there, it was a fantastic day of football, both the Colts game and the senior game were entertaining and exciting.. I think both leagues should be commended, especially the young guys that made themselves available and put everything into the game.. I enjoyed the day entirely and cant wait for the next game, as long as the players that are picked and play show the committment that the guys did on the weekend, these days will always be successful..
The therapy doesn't seem to be working for you.

Yes it was a good day , and both games were entertaining and exciting and yes both leagues did do a good job putting it on , but the facts are the best players didn't play . Many pulled out in the last week and you know that to be fact. I'm all for the concept of inter league and not just looking at the negatives but very disappointed that it was not the best side the rdfl could have fielded. Surely you want to see the best playing the best.

It was a great game in very difficult conditions... a credit to both leagues. As I understand it, the RDFL have penalties for any player making himself unavailable to play, so they must have been close to putting their best on the park. The SFL do not have any penalties, hence the decision by many of the "big name" players in the SFL not to participate. The answer would be for the SFL to slap a two week penalty for anyone making themselves unavailable and an injured player would have to miss the next home and away game.
Ok clearly you are an idiot lets get that straight right away....not to sure why you would even feel the need to get on here and comment but ya have so now im going to give my two cents worth. Yes the SFL has changed dramatically over the last couple of years and most of us involved would say for the better, good clubs and players making for some interesting games over the last couple of years and i would certainly take these so called fringe players {quoted by you] over the up themselves knob jockey's that i personally encountered from Balwyn. [Not sure who was worse the Charrdy sipping blokes on the balcony who puffed their chest out after a few whites or the pure arrogance of the coach and players.] While i'm on that subject, the year they left the SFL i'm pretty sure they were well and truly beaten in the finals by a team of fringe players !! even though they had stated that the were going to win the flag in their last year. That was one of the best things to happen to the SFL letting them go. What you dont seem to realise is that most of the SFL is comprised of every day people with everyday jobs and families who enjoy playing footy with their mates, not a money based league like the two you mentioned are involved in and obviously yourself. Can't talk for everyone but i sure as hell dont look up to the VAFA or EFL, and as far as your comparing how our teams would travel in your league again absolute arrogance with your comment's and i'm sure nobody gives a sh$t, you girls can go and flog yourselves stupid for all we care [which im sure you do anyway].
We have enough idiots on here already [ sorry Whippet] without more like you CHAMP ! so how about you just stick to looking after your girlfriends in your league and make comments about them.

Not to mention that cats is an old man who has clearly lost his marbles.
He's a 52 year old, and his arguments at times such as "obviously therapy isnt working etc etc" is something i would expect from someone of my age (early 20's).
