Weekly tips for A and B Section

[overtheline]

Not sure which hacks you are talking about.
These are the AFL players that have come to SKOB in the last 8 years;
Age is when they came to SKOB
Damien Ryan St Kilda;Aged 24 now SKOB V-Captain and VAFA state player
Andrew Lamb: St Kilda; Aged 22 BOG VAFA vs SA
Garth Pickford: St Kilda; 3 rd in Liston medal VAFA State player
Ryan Grinter: St Kilda Aged 22 Played 60 senior games for SKOB
Mark Winterton: Melbourne Aged 21 BOG in 1st Semi vs Uni Blues that year, 3 years at SKOB
Andrew Ukovic Aged 24 Collingwood BOG in 3 of 6 games with SKOB until he did his ACL vs MHSOB
Steve McKee Aged 26 Collingwood Kicked 44 goals in 7 games, battled injury.
Simon Garlick,Aged 29 W Bulldogs. St Kevins Old Boy and current SKOB palyer.
Where are the hacks on the run? Dont tell me any Ammo club wouldnt take these guys. These guys are the reason that a Footy club from a small APS school that doesnt give out scholarships was a major player in A Section for the best part of a decade, including a Grand Final and four finals series with two prelims.
Be factual. This is why Collegians will dominate this year. They have a very handy recruit who is also from Centrals and his name is not Arnott.

Sounds like a very compelling argument there Brian! Can't wait to see his response!

Firstly, I think you should agree that Bernard's were ordinary last year.

Secondly, I just wanted some info to justify the lofty predictions being afforded to the Bernies chances this year considering my first point above and no news of recuits.

Thirdly, I remember that first game, you had 7 VFL ring-ins in the side (none of which are playing this year) and surrendered that 17 goal lead to be up by only 4 goals at 3/4 time, so really not that impresssive.

Lastly, SKOB are playing all games at HQ this year, so enjoy playing at DeLa's crap hole and say hi to Justin "Princess" Evans for me.

SMG,

Ill admit and happy to that at times we were ordinary (i.e Coll. at home and a few others), but at times very very good (i.e. Xavs Rd 1 and a few others). Considering however, the maiin age of the group was actually U/21, there was something to play with. This year we havent lost any (Keuinan dosent count, spanner) and picked up plenty. All you can do is win games and we did beat Uni comfortably in the last praccie before easter, its a nice start.

Secondly, who were the 7 ring ins, Harvey and Byrne were the only ones that didnt play consistently week in week out with us that played that game.

Thirdly, HQ aint that much better than Righetti, and anyway...who cares...myself and Justin wont have to worry bout you minows!

Minnows..I think you'll find Collegians have won 15 A grade flags.... How many have St Bernard's won....?

Those first few guys, who???

Ryan Grinter was only a thing of note because his old man got 8 weekes for a Andrew Ramsden style elbow.

Ukovic BOG 3 out of 6. What games were u watching.

Steve McKee, even u admit that he did more harm than good at SKOB's.

Garlick, i think he player last year but i wasn't sure because he didn't get the ball. So much for his prediction that he'll kick 100 goals in a season.

Schools that give kids scholarships are too good for the ammos as they aspire to play a higher level(and most probably do). I doubt a principle would give out a scholarship to those kids in hope they play at that schools old boys.

 

[brian speaking]

That's really funny Menages. You are the King.

oops forgot to change identity. Pretend I'm Toad Footy

Welcome back Menages, how are the Xavvers looking for tomorrow? I see Ross Young has been cleared back to Uni Blues, can play.

 

[Frederik Kanoute]

while st kevins has had successful teams in the past and may be successful teams again, they are not a good CLUB of late, i know a lot of people who have left not because of the scores but the club atmosphere, those that went through the school in 01 and 02 had some tallent but couldn't stand the running of it.

 

[brian speaking]

Okay lads, lets have them every week. We can have a running total with the winner buying Brian a slab of Carlton.
I'll start
A Section Round 1.St Bernards at the pit
De La at Dairy Bell
Old Scotch in a canter
Marcellin with the young guns leading the charge
The Students at the varsity.

B Section
Old Essendon by palenty
Collegians by even more, Arnott to the fore.
Caulfield Grammarians to start their charge to A Section
Old Brighton to pole axe MHSOB
Uni Blacks to defeat a young SKOB outfit.

7 out of 10 is a fair start...fancy tipping against OX...

What happened to your boys Brian??? What's the aim this year for SKOBS???

 

[Vafa06]

Brian,
How did your highly rated ex-AFL players handle the "B" section pressure on the weekend?

Is the answer to that question a come from behind loss to the Blacks?

Regards

 

[Son of a Gun]

A Grade
St Bernards in a canter over OI
DLS to pip Haileybury at Dairy Bell in the upset of the round
Scotch to wallop OMs
Trinity and Marcellin to play out a draw
Xavs to repeat the GF dose on Uni

B Grade
OEG to show Beauy the step up to B Grade will once more be too much for them
Collegians to confirm flag favouritism and send Mazenod to bottom 2 (where they will stay for the remainder of the season)
OB to account for MHSOB on the postage stamp
Friars at home to be too good for the Fields
Blacks to chalk up first win in a close one over St Kevins at HQ

8 from 10 (5 from 5 in B), can't believe I tipped DLS and the draw was looking good at 3/4 until Marcellin lifted a few notches to run away from Trinity. Back against Xavs at your peril, they left it to the last minute to hit the front but good sides (even when their big name recruits disappoint) eventually get themselves over the line.

 

[Frederik Kanoute]

I'll take 4 out of 5 in each comp every week, twice on sundays. p.s match of the round this week looks to be out at toorak park with the young dogs taking on flag favs

I wonder if the oldest player in the ammos will take the field this week for the dogs cj.

 

[Frederik Kanoute]

well most of em are young, or at least young at heart, young enough to go to one bar club lounge!

Brian Speaking, it must surely irk all at Skob to see ex-Skobbers Sibilia (5 goals), M Kempton, Bevacqua and Purcell performing well for Uni Blacks on the weekend. Add these handy types to large number of ex-St Kevin's lads at St Bernards and it's no wonder you blokes are now languishing in B-grade. Doesn't really speak much for the recruiting staff at Skob and their ability to retain/recruit players.

Yeah, and I noticed Adrian Cox, Caydn Beetham and Anthony McDonald all played well on the weekend too. The broom has gone through SKOB and its a new era. Please also note Mr Spy that Lowerson and Byrne palyed for OC on the weekend and Lucas and Giansiracusa played at Balranald..........the new recruiting staff are doing okay, however I may come out of retirement if the need arises.

 

[brian speaking]

What happened to your boys Brian??? What's the aim this year for SKOBS???

The young SKOB unit was solid, leading Blacks for 3 odd quarters. I am forecasting a reasonable year with the hope of playing finals. Uni Blacks will be thereabouts for a finals spot also I would say, but won't be the dominant force all(including myself) had predicted.
