Vafa U19 (3)

[leftfootkick]

Whats everyone's views on the U/19 (3) this year...

IMO...

Oakleigh and Bentleigh might be 2 teams to look out for this season... the boys from Essendon should be pretty tough whilst the rebel from Ormond shouldn't go to bad considering their huge list right now.

 

[fish1]

Marcillen only have lost 4 i hear so they should be strong. plus they have this years year 12 will be in.

 

[coombs55]

Pity Marcellin are in Section 1

 

[Syd Kennets]

Old Essendon will just forfeit.

Old Essendon will just forfeit.

What did you mean by that? They're that bad?
St Bedes Mentone have a big list this year same as ormond..But with the U17's winning the premiership in the MSJFL (Mentone) they should be pretty good espeicially led with the ruckman Barr I hear who is flying...

Gotta disagree with you on that one... mentone just snuck into finals last year and lost... i think their older blokes have moved up and they won't be as effect this year... maybe bottom four... haven't heard of a "Barr" so don't know how effective he could be.

As for Ormond, can't see them doing to well.

Also,

any names to look out for in this year?

 

[fish1]

Does anyone know anything about Ben Flanigan, Played 4 De La a couple of years back. Heard he was a goal kicking machine.

 

[leftfootkick]

Any one have any practice matches coming up?

i think he starred for de la's under 19's last season, not 100% sure though if it was in the ones or two's?. His last name strikes a bell, must have kicked a bag or two in his hay day. However, there was a fisher that did seem to star on a regular basis for de la ? You woudn't happen to know who that was ? Fisher and Flannigon were quite a feared line up as i recall ? I think many people could vouch for that ?

Addionally ormond will be a very competitive side depending on whether there gun players from last year are playing eg Chis,Bails,Spitta etc..Just wait and see.

Well he wont be very effective in 06'. He moved to Sydney for Uni.

Not this year my friend. A new coaching structure has led to 35+ signed up and ready to take on section 3 this season. Should definitely be there come spetember.

Bit of sarcasm mate so relax..Chisholm is the key to ormond i think, showed that all of last season and in the granny although he was supported well by Bailey and the rest of the side.

 

[The Big Pineapple]

Old Ivanhoe Under 19's drew with Old Essendon Under 19's on the weekend.

Old Essendon looked much improved on last year with pretty much a whole new side and new coaching staff.

 

[F/D]

Ajax are a punch of dirty dogs, the way they play.

 

[Cats fan 16]

watch out 4 latrobe, they have some good players coming through. A few TAC guys, mark my words, theyll be a force to be reckoned with.

 

[leftfootkick]

If the TAC boys are good enough then they'll be play most of the year in the TAC Cup not U/19 (3), true?

 

[Cats fan 16]

sorry i actually ment ex TAC, as in they played TAC last year. They might not have held a permanent spot in the side but they played a few games. Tall key position players aswell, so should go alright in a division 3 league

 

[mightysainters]

mate a division 3 league? you really don't know too much about 19's do ya? It is a very good section not much between 2 and 3... In fact St Bedes beat two teams in the divi 2 by over 6 goals... It's a very competitive section and no one are slouches.

 

[leftfootkick]

Gee, the results for round 1 are rediculous!!

I think the VAFA should of had "Grading Matches" like they do in basketball.

 

[mightysainters]

Yeh fair idea leftfootkick from all reports st leo's were as soft as butter and just plain terrible. Gonna be the whipping boys this season

 

[Nathan Brown #7]

yeh the results were extremely varied. Either St Leos must be terrible or oakley must be very good. PEGS got beat by more than i expected, they were always a good school team. Any reports from any games? good players? teams to look out for?

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'.
