Are you being serious? I heard he didn't even get on the ground.



I can't tell when you are joking enemy. Does this mean you are on board now? I thought you ruled the rockers out already with injuries and such? Cant winning by 15 goals on the weekend has to make people wonder...
Clearly Canterbury are the class side a 15 goal win on the eve of the finals puts them in the box seat.Black Rocks just starting to peak Ando isn't playing mind games is he.Big Pete was sensational.That Is All.

So what are peoples thoughts on the make up of the grand final?

I think the Rockers will get over the Eagles again this week, The Mount/Canterbury game could go either way. The following week in the prelim i think the Rockers will get over the looser of the Mount/Canterbury game to make it a Rockers v Mount/Canterbury GF with one of these two to go out in straight sets

I'm not having a go, but i was just interested into your thoughts behind this. I think BR are a very good team and are going to be very competetive and give the finals a good shake, however why are you so sure that they'll make the GF? They've lost to Cant twice this year, and once to Mount.

Finals are a different ball game, The Rockers have the experience in finals having played in the last 5 years (except for when in div 2). Benchman would probably know how many years exactly.

Mount Waverley and Canterbury play a very similar type of game, where the Rockers play a more physical game, and i just think in finals this will help them get over the top of one of these two teams, saying that they stilll need to beat Doveton this week.

But in saying this i notice Tim Sim has been dropped to the two's and Jayde Handfield hasn't played since the start of August.

Heard today from a good source the cobras have sacked M Allen,he really struggled this year as a coach,he couldn't get the best out of his players,alot of them didn;t like him cause he abused them from the sidelines/while the boys were playing/who will they appoint now.
I doubt this very much as the Cobras have alread advertised for a reserves coach, if they were replacing the senior coach don't you think the adert would have asked for senior and reserves coachs?

From an outsider it seems that Mick has a great working releationship with the club, and i think if anyone is to get the runs on the board then it is Mick.

You also have to look at some of the results, 4 games lost by 3 goals or less, should have beaten Dandy at the start of the year having eleven more scoring shots to lose by 7 points, same with Doveton having 10 more scoring shots but lost by 4 goals. If they got 3 out of those wins then all of a sudden they would be around 6th on the ladder.

and yes i know IF

Mick Allen definitely has the club moving in the right direction - admittedly they still finished bottom, but were much more competitive than last year. It appeared that the players actually wanted to play for each other, not just themselves.

good to see that no-one is giving doveton a chance at all in the finals!! i understand that we havn't beaten any of the teams above us, but a few people on here are quick to point out that it's finals, and anything can happen!! don't think we are that far behind b/rock and should give them a good run for their money this week, if we succeed there, i think we will be up against mount in a prelim, which we have lost to by less than a kaick on both occasions this year, canterbury are the major hurdle though!!

Not far behind BR? What a joke.... The only thing duffton have going for them this week is the big ground, but it won't matter. And why do you think you will play Mount in the prelim? Cant haven't beaten them all year, I think MT will smash them, but maybe that's just me.

Is Kreskas going with him? With reports beforeon this forum Rossburgh is going with as many as 15 players, will Sandown even have a team to coach next year?
Kreskas wont be going with him thats for sure,he will be coaching an S.F.L Division 3 team and it wont be the cobras and Clint Sheedy will be his assistant coach.

I heard Sheedy's just pretty happy that he didn't have to play under Sandown's ex-coach this year. Apparently the guy before Mick Allen was the worst coach he's seen.

I belive that the Rockers will make the GF, the only way that can happen is if they win this week against you guys, but like you said anything can happen. Good luck Sat

Tim Sim hasnt been in great form in the games ive seen this season, if he's good enough he will get back in.

Does that go to show how much better Div 2 is compared to Div 3. With the Rockers making finals in the last 5 years of Div 3 and finally winning a premiership, only to come last and get flogged in most games of Div 2 and come down after 1 year????

I think it all depends on the team, take a look how Moorabbin Kangaroos went last year, even go back to i think 2000 with TM, and Hamptons first year in Div 2 played off in the GF.

We played them that year in divvy 2 and they had lost a lot of players, and it seems to be a trend you win a flag get a heap of blokes retire and your massively under-manned

Coaches have not even been interviewed yet, or potential coaches. This is all news to me. Someone is stirring the pot early.
