u19 section 1

[johnfromtheVAFA]

Lot of posting from the rupo boys on this thread lets hope that you can back it up obviously there are some rupo players in this thread, so make sure you back up your talk fellas. Lets hope that the three boys selected from rupo can make it into the vafa under 19's sqaud. I like the look of baddeley he seems a natural leader, what are some of your thoughs on him, and the other two boys that are training quigley(unbelievable oi his left) and mcphee?

Also rupo have only played one real top side in de la, so a bit early in the wraps for these boys i am a big fan but as they are yet to play my beloved xavs and st bernards they have a fair way to travel, no one wins a flag in may.

don't come on here making riduculous comments like that akron; can't have watched much of banyule if you think they'd beat xavs 2's: they are out and out rubbish... the xavs 1s (who beat banyule by 23 goals) wouldn't beat their 2's by half that. the reason that xavs 2's are in red is because there was no 19 2's for xavs last year, and so this year the team has to start in the lowest division and work its way up (it can't just go straight to div 3 or 2 or 1, even if they are better), not at the top and be relegated down; that wouldn't be a fair way to run the comp now would it? watch some football before making such comments again, for the good of the thread and what little credability you aim to have on it.
Also, what is everyone's obsession with teams being 'soft' on this thread? I very much doubt that any team plays 'soft' football (everyone has their hard-nuts), id say its more about which team has the ticker to bounce back and go the distance in a game and in the season...

It's what all the banyule players love to say.

"oh you go to a private school so your soft." Then how the all those schools been in the 1 and 2 divisions over the years if they are so soft.

Excellent Ability!!!

That is a tough blow for Rupo losing Beau, But I think that there senior side will really struggle for the rest of the year. Can anyone name who they have beaten ? There real test will come when they play the top sides which I think they will have a tough time beating. Does anyone agree?

 

[VAFA19s]

I don't think the de la thumping they recieved in week 1 should be taken too seriously; praccy's and first couple are hard to take as a serious indicator, though im not sure they could make up a 20 goal deficite, and so agree that it looks like they might fall a little short of the top teams...
I am not sure how good marcellin is yet (this week against the OX will give a pretty solid indication though!), but they did cop a fair pasting from the woodsmen;
In summary, at the moment i personally reckon they should be treated with caution definately, however comments made earlier in the thread about them being the team to beat is a bit of a joke at this stage...

Seems like this thread is all about rupertswood! I would like to know what people (i haven't seen them play yet) think of scotch this year? i hear they have a pretty decent forwardline? Also, how do people think Uni will go against teams like de la? Are they up to that standard of footy?

 

[digger9]

who cares about scotch? this thread has been over rupotised but its a laughable read, and im sure scotch boys dont have much humour. they are too busy looking at themselves in that million dollar mirror, pity they wont look that pretty after we have dealed with them in the seniors. id just like to say ive really had enough at st bernards to be honest, roachy(seniors) thinks hes it and a bit. hes a good player but he has to get over himself. it looks like the 19s are following in his footsteps, thats right like a pack of sheep. and the wilkos are a joke, i wonder what they get upto in the sack.....together. dont have a crack at me the rest of you bernards boys as you all know what i am talking about.
lets get back to rupo, i want to hear more reports on all these so called guns you are talking about as I have not seen their name in the best so far this season except lovett being in their most weeks.

 

[BlueBoys88]

Bit too much talk about rupo 19's on this thread.

Number 1, your not even from St.Bernards.
Number 2, if you really are, what is your name, stop making ridiculous claims that arent even near the truth and hiding behind your screen name
-You are a s**t talker and everyone on here doesnt value your opinion
-Go and make posts somewhere else you fairy

Definently some good points there, rupo have been talking themselves up on this thread for too long! Your boys from xavs and bernards should shut these boys up for a while.
In resonse to your queries of the 3 players selected for interleague from rupo i dont really care. Apparently their side is fairly even across the board (good players, but not great). But noone talented enough for interleague selection (except possibly 2 other players who i think have experienced senior football, which u didnt mention).

Good luck on the weekend everyone.

 

[St.Kev's Cowboy]

To right you all are!
Enough Rupertswood pump up talk please!! Fair enough they've played some good footy but there are nine other sides I'd like to know a bit about as well.
Digger, stop making a fool of yourself, the only thing you're currently digging is a mighty big hole for yourself to plummet into!
Onto footy, what is the news of the Scotchies? Haven't heard nearly enough. De La seem to be a bit of a pace setter, but it is only round 5 this week. St.B's and Xavs going well, Marcellin slipped up massively against 'The Woodsmen' and Banyule & Collegians are struggling early.
Any tips for league b & f? (Apart from this Beau Lovett character) Which players are spending time in their one's?
Congratulations to all who made the Rep Squad.
Tips this week: De La over St.k's easily, (record score??)
Rupo just over Uni B's
St B's over the Scotchies
OX's easily over Marcelin
and Banyule - Collegians to be called off to save face.

 

[footy_nerd]

the man from the wild wild west is on the money, rupo whilst looking promising early are still yet to asert any sort of dominance over what many belive to be class acts in bernards and xavs. Rupo really need to notch up a win against uni blues this weekend to prove they are a force in section one, not just making up numbers.

John from the vafa perhaps you might inlighten us on how xavs are travelling this year, good players and so forth, any one pushing up into the seniors, they look to be a force this year.

On another note does anybody reckon that it is possible to get drafted playing VAFA section 1 19's. The standard amongst many of the teams is very high and surely AFL scouts must be on the lookout across all underage leagues in Victoria.

This baddely fellow from rupo, from what i remember from previous years spectating is that is a good athletic size, good hands and knows how to find the pill, however is goal kicking ability from set shots is questionable, one game last year i think from memory he kicked 1 goal 9. Did play at the cannons for a little bit last year and was impressive before being injured just before the finals. Couldn't break into the calder side but played a pivitol role in rupo's u19 section 2 fianls campaign. His technique doesn't seem to be a problem, maybe its confidence, a little bit more time on track may serve to rectify the problem.

Hows other clubs going with their VAFA representatives, i would imagine De La and xavs having a few 'superstars' putting their handup for what i belive is a terrifc opportunity to showcase an individuals talent agianst equally talented young footballers from the best underage comp in the country.

 

[BlueBoys88]

I can't stress how much the likes of footynerd, johnfromthevafa and digga9 are frustrating me!
I think you boys have to realise that the majority of people on this forum do not care how talented you think your friend from rupo is. Nor does his pathetic history interest us. Keep up the chit chat, but talk about something worth reading.

Drafted from U19's. You are joking of course. Any player anywhere near good enough to get drafted would be playing senior football at 18 or at TAC level not hiding in an under age comp were you can play till your married with kids.

Brilliant!!!

Thank you Blueboy it's about time, I'm sick of hearing about Rupo and how they are so good. Yes they have had some good wins, but they are playing above themselves and finals are not played in the first 5 weeks of the season lets see where there at when September comes around.

...

ok so if xavs 2s are so good, and it is simply a matter of time before they ''work theyre way up'', then why have they already dropped a game and lost a preseason competition to smutty teams such as old mentonians and powerhouse/sth mornington who are struggling in blue division ? your the fool losing credibility making rediculous statements like that a team in red division would beat a team in section one.

 

[VAFA19s]

Akron,

1. i certainly wouldn't take too much out of pre-season lightening premiership competitions, especially when the team playing was one VASTLY different to the one playing at the moment
2. other than that, their only loss was by 6pts to a team who are now below them, who got pumped by Westbourne (who they also beat)
3. they beat a team who are now in 5th position
4. they're in the top 4, are placed second at the moment and have the 2nd highest percentage...

so next time, instead of picking out certain facts and ignoring others, give credit where credit's due. as for banyule, i honestly think that the OX 2's could, at least, "compete" (in the words of the person who originally posted the comment) with them; they are simply not up to div1 standard and wouldn't finish top 4 in the 2's, and im sure any person who's seen both teams play this SEASON would agree... if you'd actually seen or appreciated either team play to the level they're at, instead of coming on here and nitpicking other people's comments to act as though you have any clue about this league, im sure you'd agree that there is no way banyule would 'smash' OX 19 2's. But i guess we'll never know as they won't play each other, so i say we keep it within the bounds of div 1 from now on... im sure everyone would agree with that also.

Gentlemen, you continue to hang it on Banyule, however, just keep in the mind that this is their 4th year in the competition. They have made it form Under 19 red (section 4 or 5 depending on what side of the yarra you are from) to Section 1 in that time. They won the flag in 2003 without losing a game, jumped straight from 19 red to division 2 in 2004 where they finished 5th and last year won division 2. Not a bad rise. Also consider that Banyule seniors lost 10 of their best 12 senior players to either retirement or other clubs so it is up to the under 19's to fill the voids.

In last weeks team against St Leos 9 players played in the seniors who played under 19's last year.

Not everyone has the same depth as the xavs or de las. Fair enough they are struggling at the moment but you must give them credit for giving section 1 a go. Not many other teams would have jumped 4 divisions in their 4th year of competing.

ok if you want to get into six degrees of seperation then theres a million ways i could prove to you that banyule would beat xavs 2s. but all thats necessary is that banyule are in section one and xavs 2s are in red. its not a difference of one or two sections but four or five. and if you want to attack my credibility because i havent watched every minute of xavs 2nd u19s side, then feel free. I have a game to play of my own every saturday afternoon, but still know enough about the league to have a fair and unbiased view

 

[VAFA19s]

Old timer, no disagreeing that banyule has made a rise throughout the leagues that is quite unprecedented and a bloody good effort in itself; that definately deserves credit. But the fact is thats not really relevent at all; the fact is their team is very average this year, for whatever reason, and thats all that has anything to do with this particular conversation. I didn't know about their rise, but yeah thats an amazing effort i agree.

And akron, exactly what i said; the reason there are not 1 or 2, but 4 or 5 is because any new team must start in the lowest divisions and work its way up; therefore thats hardly any argument as to why banyule would 'smash' OX 19 2's: it is of little consequence. But seeing as you're admitting that you haven't watched 'every minute of xavs 2nd u19s side' (clearly you've watched none, if any, seeing as you play yourself), but you've just proven that your comments were made without any actual basis (thus without credibility) rather than their respective leagues. so thank you. never post again unless its about a completely different topic.

2's seemed to have sent a message to the rest of the comp today,

 

[nicho_magic]

xav 1's absoluteyl SMASHED marcellin, what a one sided result that was

 

[VAFA19s]

With uni blues now 4-1 and easily accounting for rupo on the weekend, i think its time we heard a bit more about them: how are they for injuries, players to come back? how will the fare against the seemingly stronger teams of de la & xavs?
I imagine that since they didn't go to school together, they could only be getting better as they learn to play with each other as a team; look ominous coming into a big couple of weeks ahead. what do we think?
Cheers.

 

[St.Kev's Cowboy]

Spot on VAFA19, Uni Blues comfortabley beat The Woodsmen and would have to be considered in the same upper group as Bernards, Xavs & De La.
No surprising results on the w/e really. Marcellin showed last weeks slapping was no fluke by getting beaten by even more, de la only had to turn up to beat St.K's and the Scotchies gave the dogs a run for their money.
Any news on dominant players for the w/e? What about the Uni Blues? Haven't heard anything about them, probably why I made the mistake of tipping the over-hyped Rupo. I think though, this weeks Old Scotch v Rupo will show us whether or not it is a 5 horse race. One side undefeated, 3 on 4-1 and Rupo at 3-2.

 

[VAFA19s]

Benson for OX kicked another 5 to add to his bag for the year; takes him to about 23 (the VAFA record missed a week).
