I agree with you 100%Still doesn’t make sense to have byes in every division in the first four weeks

If they are grading rounds have 1 div for the gradings wipe the points then grade into divisions.Agree with this, especially as the first four games are being used as grading rounds. Why have 5 teams with a bye each week when divisions 0f 6,6,6 and 9 would only have 1 team with a bye and still allow the clubs with multiple teams to play in different divisions.
Happens every yearIf they are grading rounds have 1 div for the gradings wipe the points then grade into divisions.
Issue is you might be in higher grade to start get smashed go down with no wins from 4 games and terrible percentage. On the flip sides teams win 4 go up With points and percentage.
Who are the divi 1 clubs?Gee, this has been happening since Moses was a wee lad. Almost 20 years ago I was spewing at a certain club tanking the grading games in U12/14 and then sweeping all before them during the season and celebrating winning the flag. Said a lot more about the parents and the club than it did about the players, and didn't win them any friends in the clubs whose kids were flogged every week just so one club could get a cheap flag at their expense.
Now they are struggling to fill senior sides.....Back then - and we're talking around 2005/6 - it was Hoppers, no idea if they still do it but it left a very bitter taste at the time.
thats a huge stretch trying to connect hoppers ability to fill a side this year, with them going for easy junior premierships in 2006Now they are struggling to fill senior sides.....
My point exactly about taking easy choices rather than the right ones
Back then - and we're talking around 2005/6 - it was Hoppers, no idea if they still do it but it left a very bitter taste at the time.
Williamstown, Yarraville, Pt CookWho are the divi 1 clubs?
I remember playing juniors 20 years ago and the power clubs were always Werribee, Hoppers, Williamstown and Altona.
Very serious. Kids talk when they're on the field, and goal-hungry forwards loudly express their displeasure at being put into the backline because it helps the club if they lose. Not hard to hear if you're the goal umpire. Also there was confirmation from parents whose kids played cricket with Hoppers and footy for Westbourne, and were talking about it with Hoppers parents.
Water long gone under the bridge, given Westbourne became the Suns ten years ago.

So what I saw and heard first-hand at the time is bullshit. No problem, jog on champ.
Who should we be looking out for?Pc have all their new recruits in , PC by 25
Small compact little on baller named Luke, he goes alrightWho should we be looking out for?
That was a poundingI remember people bringing up the weight of the Werribee Districts boys last year. Wow wee, wait till those blokes see the hoppers Boys.
Hoppers in for a long year.
Willi Juniors back then didn't do Williamstown United any good.Who are the divi 1 clubs?

Everyone went to Willy u19s back then or the better players went to Footscray u19sWilli Juniors back then didn't do Williamstown United any good.
Did they look good or did Hoppers look bad or both??PC looked pretty good yesterday
I would say both , all PC ins are key position players and hoppers have lost all their mids and more.Did they look good or did Hoppers look bad or both??
Genuinely shocked by yesterdays result
