Vafa U19 (3)

[Cats fan 16]

I would by no means call this league 'very good'. The standard is pretty average if u ask me. Played on saturday and the teams in this comp seem to hav one or 2 ok players and the rest are battlers. I dont wanna form judgement too soon, but my under 18 team from last year which was in a league one lower to the GFL (geelong football leauge), would be better than the teams ive seen so far. The decision making is poor and players in this section dont seem to hav the football 'smarts'.

I probably talked too soon. Played st bedes today and was very impressed by the standard of footy they played; theyre a bloody good side. The game against MHSOB gave me the wrong idea about this league. It is a fair standard.

Mate reality check obviously for you. I watched your game yesterday and you guys all look alike tall and lanky and Bedes just totally outclassed you in every department. Oakleigh, Bedes, Ormond and Bentleigh look the good so far and those 4 are very competitve.
You played Bedes as I said and they had no TAC players playing and Haileybury Boys. They beat two section 2 teams.
Ormond and Bentleigh had a hard and physical battle with ormond prevailing.
Oakleigh had a good win too over old ivanhoe.

Thanks mighty sainters... you seem to know a bit about the comp, would you mind writing up a possible ladder prediction. Hard to tell at the moment i know, with alot of unevenness. Teams like Ivanhoe are yet to win a game, however its difficult to judge how good they are as they have played what looks to be 2 of the better/best sides. Looks like Emmaus and Ajax may very well be the whipping boys though..

 

[Max Leader]

It is a pity that other thread aren't as informative as this one.

No sledging, but just fair commentary on each teams ability.

Will watch this thread for the continued good discussion.

Ajax? After demolishing Emmaus are by no means a powerhouse or whipping boys... That will be Old Essendon Grammar and Emmaus.
Round 3 predictions
Emmaus St Leos vs Ormond
Ivanhoe vs Ajax (Although may be a tight one)
OEG vs St Bedes
La Trobe vs Oakleigh
Melbourne High School vs Bentleigh will be an interesting one.

MHS vs Bentleigh is the game of the round I believe.

In my view, its 5 teams battling for the top 4.

Oakleigh, St. Bedes, Bentleigh, Ormond, Melbourne High School

The rest are a bit behind the pack.

Look for OEG to be the big improvers in coming weeks.

They are not as bad as their first 2 games would suggest.

 

[Supergrass]

Do they have a few out TBP?

Few U19's in the senior team getting the chop after a lacklustre performance against Old Brighton perhaps?

 

[Disco Bickie]

I know their Captain was out on the weekend.

That's right Disco the captain was out but this doesn't explain the 20 goal rout they copped on the weekend. The problem Supergrass has been getting their "best" 18 players on the park each week having to deal with work and family committments. This should sort itself out over the next few weeks and you should see a much improved performance from the bombers in coming weeks.

 

[mightysainters]

Very suprised with their lacklustre start and it just won't get any better mentone they have this week ouch.... In one word St Bedes beating Old Essendon? PERCENTAGE.

Where is it... Keilor Hill or the Postage Stamp???

 

[mightysainters]

at PEGS i think that's keilors hill

 

[pinelodge]

bit early to write off ivanhoe isnt it?

i definately wouldnt write the hoers off, they've got a very good team this year knowing that most of the boys from the 2005 school team who came 3rd in the AGSV are playing in the 19's.
Also, is a bloke called Baldwyn still playing 19's, he killed us last year playing onball kicking 7 or 8 and also a member of the 19's rep team.

Pineapple Head...build a bridge and get over the fact that not all football grounds are the same size....it is one of the great facets of our game that we play at grounds of different shape, turf base in different locations affected by diffrent weather conditions such as prevailing winds...some of us can remember playing on a ground in Keilor that in wet conditions had raw sewerage floating across it....sound familiar???

Nope, doesn't sound familiar at all.

I think most people will agree that Brindisi St is in a league of it's own when it comes to ordinary grounds.

 

[Richard Clay Torpedoes]

Perhaps Pineapple Head you should ask some of the senior people around your club about how it was out on Keilor Hill in the past....from one who experienced it...it was disgusting...but I don't moan and whinge about continually...funny thing that in over 100 years of football at Brindisi street only one club has refused to take the field at the start of a game - guess who...yep Pineapple Head your club....but we made sure it wasn't too hard for the soft feet and tender skin that comes with too much pampering......wonder why you couldn't win that day!!....

RCT, is Owen lalor coaching the U/19 at St bedes? He was at OM and was very good as I recall!

 

[Local Boy]

RCT Dont get so CRUSTY about it

 

[mightysainters]

Yup he's the St Bedes Coach use to be a coach at Melbourne Grammar for the school I believe two years ago, then moved to St Bedes.

 

[Richard Clay Torpedoes]

Close but no cigar Local Boy!!!!

 

[Local Boy]

It would have to be one of you

 

[Red Roy]

Little bit going on there between Local Boy and RCT. Why do you care about people sticking up for the surface down at Brinidsi (which is average) local boy???

 

[Knight Rider]

Let's just worry about the game and not the ground surface. Although, must agree with TBP....Brindisi is very average!

TBP, what is going on with the 19's up on Keilor Hill? Are other teams playing ineligible players???hmm

Yeh thats what i meant by a bit early to write them off, i know they had a good school team last year, however so did PEGS, and they havent been travelling to well lately, so i dont what kind of indication that gives. Can anyone let me know how these 2 teams are going, as i follow the AGSV closely, and its suprising to see them struggling.
