Western Region FL - Division Two

[HELLSBELLS]

Cain my old little whippersnapper buddy it makes me giggle a bit how u think Coburg needs players desperately ....correct me if im wrong but i do believe we pushed u guys both times we played ??!! sure we didnt win many and finished near the bottom but i can assure you from what im hearing the new coach is leaving no stone unturned to push Districts back up to finals contention .

I dont really have any idea about players coming and going only that we have lost a few back to Morang and maybe 1 or 2 others ??!!

On the recruiting front i can assure u Kevin and Co are working hard to get some high quality players to sign this new yr and if they get the blokes they are after then Districts SHOULD play finals ??

In the end boys its simple everyone can get on here and talk crap about whos gonna end up where and who teams are getting and how good all our clubs are gonna be but the facts are u dont know until the ball gets bounced .... all im hoping for is a good competitive season with not to many blowouts !!

I agree with your post in most parts i would love nothing more than an even comp but it aint going to happen but hopefully Coburg can be more competetive next year along with the Vales expected improvemnt should see the comp being a little stronger this season.

Coburg are a side that you must respect, they try hard and have some quality players and yes we where very lucky to beat you guys at your home ground in the last game we played no doubt. I really didnt think we deserved to win that game and had it not been for a pack mark and long bomb goal from number 7 and then a freaky goal from Jez Ollis we would have lost period.

With a new coach ( who has no doubt some football conncections) if you can recruit 5 or 6 good footballers (which i would say you would need) you may be fighting for that 5 spot but in my opinion you guys where clearly the 3rd worst team last year.

But its a fresh year so who gives a fuc*k about last year we are all starting 0-0 and the year should be even better than last year and with new coaches and new recruits at this stage its all specultaion on who will do what.

But that is a big call that you Coburg will play finals next year but 1 you are intitiled to and its good to have self belive in your club and side

Hey HB do you know who the players are that are going back to Morang?? I am hoping that young Vito and Johnny K are amongst them,would love to see them back at Morang, can you shed some light?

Im pretty sure the majority that came over last yr are heading back ..

Im also pretty sure Vito is 100% going back and am about 75% about johnny k but i knoow Districts will be fighting hard to keep him as u would !!! If i had to guess i'd say u will have them both back .. Dissapointing for Districts if Johnny does go as he was a star this yr and would be very handy to keep around !! as for Vito he was injured ALOT this yr but when he played looked alright !

Thanks for that HB . With you on Johnny, he was sorely missed in the backline last year,not the most skillful player but his courage and attack at the footy and contest is second to none and i hope we win the day and get him back I know Vito was injured alot but he for me he was our best and most consistent player in the under 19s in 08,has a touch of class and can rack up the possies when gets going.

Not sure who it was i think it was 6.3 not bad for a bloke who didnt get a kick

 

[HELLSBELLS]

Not sure who it was i think it was 6.3 not bad for a bloke who didnt get a kick

I love how u can ermember how many u kicked on what day and how many touches u got and how many b n f's u have one i bet the only thing u dont count is the amount of times a day u want to root urself

What innovative ideas

1- Raise more money
2- Get more sponsors

Ground breaking stuff there. Now that the secret is out what if all the other clubs try this radical approach to running a local football club?

no other team in div 2 from last season would be competitive in div 1 lucky you guys got your chance when yous did....with west footscray still there u might have another year second bottom.....wont be long for you guys to be back where u belong.......supercoach.....

id rather be winning every 2nd week than winning every 8th or 9th......

 

[w.weapons]

And waste a whole year not winning a game and ending up back in Div 2 a year later?? Didn't do much for Glenroy and Oak Park in EDFL last year.

here here......we wernt the standout team during the year but were the standout team in the finals.......when it counts

i recon yes its dissapointing not going up having deserved the right to but in reality its a smart move......

Another year second bottom.............you have to finish there first to have another year there. As for winning every second week, there was no better feeling (other than winning the grand final of course) than knocking off St.albans and Altona on their own turf, I will take division 1 every day of the week.

true, any news on new recruits??

I think Sunny Height have done a fantastic job and playing with Nth Sunshine when we went up and winning 5 games in Div 1 05 (i think) and beating Sunshine and a strong Yarraville (with M.Frost) in Div 1 and pushing Hoopers Crossing and St Albans that year was a great feeling and shows if Nth Sunshine in 05 and Sunny Heights in 09 can do it why cant Deer Park??

All clubs should be apsiring to play Div and have Div 1 sucess and you earned yourt right to a Div 1 recal and have forfited. If you went up and had a real crack you may even suprise your selves and won a handfull of games and cement your Div 1 spot like Sunny Heights have.

If you went up and did get relagated your young players games would be developed largely for the Div 1 experance (as it is of a much better standard) and would more than likely dominate Div 2 the following year.

Coaches and clubs aim should be all about Developing players games and what better way than to exspose them than Div 1 football. Also dont forget its 21 against 21 in Div 1(same as Div 2) we play with the same footballs and on the similar grounds with the same umpires( which are probally marginly better than Div 2).

How can you possibly sit there and pot a club like Sunny Heights who have put in so much work over the years in Div 2 and finally won there place in Div 1 and probally excede everyones expectations and cemented there spot last year and look to build on it this year.

Sunny Heights have shown a blue print for all Div 2 clubs aspiring to Div 1 football that you can make the step into Div 1 and have sucess and then build on it from there.

Deer Park have pretty much told there playing group by not going up that we think your not good enough and we dont have any confidence in the playing group and reinterrated the notion that last years win was a fluke.

With a good team in 09( Deer Park) and possible few new recruits in the off season to add to there 09 squad, Dee Park should of backed there group into Div 1 said we belive that we can win 3-4 games and cement our spot and have had a crack at Div 1 ala Sunny Heights 09.

Take your chances when they are presented as you never no when your next chance will be.

have a look at the clubs you were at and where are they now......if you were any good you wouldn't get out whilst the kitchen was hot.....but that just show's coin is your first prospective.......

how many times do have to say it......if/when we go up we want to stay there..........not go up then the next year come down.......that hurts a lot of clubs.......and sunny heights are lucky west footscray are in div 1 otherwise theyd be back in div 2.......

dont use nth sunshine as an example......they were riff raff then and they are now.......our premiership photo in div 2 will still sit on the wall proudly like all other clubs.......but now is not our time........

ok cain here's a question........if it were up to yarra would you go up.......????

Have actually had a conversation with the coach a week ago and we both agreed we would most def go up and have a crack and we both agreed that you just dont know when you will get another oppurtunity.

Its just my opinion Weapons and for the record Nth Sunshine had a good year in Div 1 first year and where far from riff raff champ and if they had the finacial backing and a beter admin could of made it Div 1 as they had a good base of players to build on like Sunny Heights. Problem at Nth was the had no money and couldnt pay players so everyone left. Had they been able to pay players and keep the group together i think they would still be in A grade to be honest.

That team would beat all teams in Div 2 now period. Example Heights won premiership in 08 and Sunny Heights couldnt get near Nth Sunhine that year and they probally have the same side currently in Div 1.

Disagree Sunny Heights deserve there spot in A grade and have earned it and i think they will better last years win/loss period. Money is a factor in i would say %90 of park footballers but is not the most important factor.

Your time to go up is when you win the Div 2 comp which you should do go up and worst case you get relegated and you come back to Div 2 better for the Div 1 experance.

Yarraville had one of the worst Div 1 sides in history (08) when the got related and still managed to win 1 game and only just lost on percentage to get relegated from West.

If Yarra or any top 4 side won it they would off gone up and recruited hard and would of had winable games against West, Heights, Altona, St Albans(maybe) we may have not won a game but at least we would of had a crack and our young players would be so much better of for that year in A grade providing you dont get smack by 30 goals and loose all confidence in your footballing ability.

Its human against Human, yes the standard is better but its not like your steping into the VFL or AFL.

First things first Weapons, this is pure and utter bullsh it. We finished above both Wests and Glenorden, we also knocked off Altona and StAlbans, therefore if wests were not there we would still have finished above Orden.

Secondly Id have to say that on paper our Premiership team would have beaten our 09 team quite comfortably. However if they both ran out to play then our 09 team would have been triumphant as many players stepped up when competing against better opposition week in week out. our sheer desire and want for the 4 points got us over the line against Stalbans, Altona and within a 3 goals of Sunshine. We had approx 8 players that played reserves finals in 08 play in the win at Altona.

So dont talk about us coming straight down again and being lucky wests were there in 09, cos ur just trying to hide the fact u were cowards and in 10 years time ppl will still be talking about how weak those cowardly lions were in 2010 by staying down. just like theyre still talking about Altona being that soft a few years ago.

1 final thing i think u would of been 1 of the first 1s to call Altona weak and soft for choosing to stay down a few years ago.

 

[Time to relax]

Heights deserve credit for the step they took, but I think this season will hold an even bigger challenge for them.

Cain - North Sunshine were poo & had no admin. As soon as they spent ($$$) whatever they had left on YOU, Ralphy & Co they were never going to survive because they had no long term vision. You only won a couple of games because teams took there foot of the pedal and rested a lot of players when they came up against use.

Deer Park - The powers to be have made there decision with long term in mind, but that decision will only be known in the future!

 

[CLUB7]

Cain, the points you make are valid. But i think you will find Deer Parks decision is a buisness one and not a football one. For their club to prosper in the future they (and Goldie of all people) have done their maths and they are obviously not financially stable to make the jump. You run your own buisness Cain and i'm sure you like most people wouldn't take a high risk option if the outcome may back fire and set your buisness back 5 or so years. Purely a buisness decision bud.

Re the above comment. No Heights side of 09 would have beaten the GF side of 08. You comment suggests the 09 team had a greater will to win and were more competetive which is a ridiculous suggestion. The determination and will to win in the 08 side was second to none and as such were never going to lose the GF.

Hey Cain do you get a dollar every time you mention Sunshine Heights.

I agree in the perfect world all should go up and have a crack but in reality it can ruin a club. Have a look at Nth Sunshine now for example regardless of your great first year up which every time you post about it a win gets added and the close losses multiply. They are now a mess of a club.

Heights had a lot better foundation to go up as the Premiership was built around youth and players that would be still with the club in years to come and were the best team in 08 as was West in 07 and Glenordan in 06. Deer Park were over the course of the season the 4th or 5th best side and that position was gained through 6 or 7 close wins so they were no way strong enough to go up and be anywhere near competetive. They did have some very good youth the best of which has moved on but some of their better players were older and not up to div one like Duggan and Fenton.

I agree it's a business decision and it's too narrow minded for people to say 'weak as piss for not going up' when they do not know the facts. I also agree that premierships are hard to win and it could be a long time before getting another chance.

Also Cain to say Heights team of 09 was similar to the side that Nth Sunshine beat in 2003 is very funny. Not sure how good you think that 2003 side was as i recall it was a nothing year when anyone could have won it and i also recall Central Altona beating Nth Sunshine quite easily in the run home at Nth Sunshine and don't recall being in awe of your sides riches.

 

[pdog pizza's]

Business decision or not I've always been told and of the opinion that if given the opportunity your club should always play in the highest possible grade. My club won the Div 2 SFL flag this year and admittingly we will struggle against some power sides like $t.KIlda, Chelsea etc but at least we're going to have a crack. We will be better for the experience.

 

[obe1]

Cain, the points you make are valid. But i think you will find Deer Parks decision is a business one and not a football one. For their club to prosper in the future they (and Goldie of all people) have done their maths and they are obviously not financially stable to make the jump. You run your own business Cain and i'm sure you like most people wouldn't take a high risk option if the outcome may back fire and set your business back 5 or so years. Purely a business decision bud.

There's no doubt opinions vary on this subject but whats to say Deer Park get another opportunity in the next few years?

At the moment they have a sound list, better that average coach and one of the sharpest presidents around. Are they all going to be around in the next five or so years to fulfill their Business decision?

I say take your chance whilst its there, draw on the success you have had, use the expertise whilst you have it and see what happens. In the near future Caroline Springs will have a senior side to draw the talent away from the Deer Park fringe, something else to consider..

how is it utter bullsh1t when orden and west beat you.........a lucky come from behind win v west or orden im unsure and if west fold you guys will no doubt finish bottom 2.......orden altona and even st albans are miles ahead of you guys..........people sometimes have to wake up and smell the roses about time you did..........

altona in hiensite made the right call.........they will be there for years to come........no doubt.......they have the gun coach and young blokes(18's) who with the new coach will develop into a powerhouse wait and see.......

go up why.......???so you can say you still are a div 1 player......ppppfffffttttt stacks.........your coach is an elma fud and wouldnt know how to handle div 1........let alone handle coburg districts........go through the teams parkside theyd get smacked(olser players will retire).......nth foots theyd get smacked though do have a good young brigade(18's) every year complementing their snr players........albanvale they will struggle like deer park and lavo have got a long way to go........

any team going up to div 1 would get smacked by 30 goals.........untill you realise that and all the other w@nkers on here deer park will be in div2 next year building a team for div 1.........

buisness decision or not it was put to bed by the powers at be str8 away after the all players and supporters got back after the grand final win........and the drinks began to flow.......
