WRFL Division 2

[GoesBangFrom50]

Yes it's true, we (Coburg Districts) were meant to play them this week and Huffy told us tonight at training no Centrals, apparently kicked out. I thought there may have been an incident last week.

Heights played them last week and there were no incidents... although the umpires were scared sensless all day. Although nothing happened you always sensed that they could go off at any time

Glen Orden were the best side in the comp in 2003 and 2004, and failed to live up to expectations in both finals series, there is absolutly no excuse for them if they fail to win the flag and be promoted to Division 1 next season.

Would love to see a Glen Orden v Hoppers derby.

What do you think a Glen Orden v Hoppers derby would end up like? do you think Glenorden would get within 20 goals?.

 

[cold pies]

how are glenorden travelling off the field can anyone elaborate on this
if they do win the flag, which it seems they probably should, will they be able to come up to division 1 and recruit players and be competitive
i for one hope they can, altona have shown promise this season and have something to build on and it's been a while since teams have been promoted from division 2 and been able to cope in a grade
if altona improve next year and glenorden come up and be competitive it will be a very good comp in 1st division

I would think Hoppers would win the game easily, especially at Hoppers, but there would be a bit in it, I don't think the two would like each other very much.

When was the last time these two clubs played each other? Why is there no love lost between these two clubs?, Do you think it would be good for the comp with a local derby, I'm sure it would attract a big crowd.

 

[beefeater1000]

Central Altona have been suspended for the rest of 2006, looks like Brunswick are gone too.

hey palace, do u know if brunswick got suspended or folded??

yeah for sure, would there be a bit of a jumper clash tho? didnt glenorden had hawthorn jumpers back in the day? seddon have gone, so they might go back to the old strip against hoppers

 

[bush_tucker77]

and Hoppers used to wear geelong strip until they met albion one day and were forced to change.

 

[cold pies]

i don't think the hoppers crossing footy club could give two hoots about glenorden

 

[beefeater1000]

can anyone shed some light on the central altona and brunswick power situation (leaving the wrfl for 06) - can anyone confirm this?? thatd be great, cheers

 

[Palace03]

Central Altona have been suspended for the remainder of this season, hopefully they will be back next year. Brunswick have basically been shown the door after several irresponsible decisions made by club officals this year, from what I've heard their club president has basically indicated they won't be back next season even if they were welcome.

I'm sure Hoppers wouldnt care if they played Glen Orden or not, but Orden would love to have a shot at Hoppers and another local derby would be good for the competition, there would probably be a few Orden boys who didn't quite cut it at Hoppers that would love to put one over them.

I heard a small rumour Deer Park are in a little trouble by the league for submitting a player so this player could make finals, and he didn't play and they got busted, points could be lost maybe??? I think it was for their reserves side though.

 

[GoesBangFrom50]

Central Altona was just on the news complaining about being kicked out... all revolves around 1 player who was suspended for 38 weeks earlier in the year... he got his suspension reduced to 8 weeks and is due back this week. Thats what all the crap is about!!

He was on the news saying he has been racially discriminated against.... What crap. The bloke is a meat head, plays footy just to start trouble

who was the player?

 

[behen_666]

I don't want to incriminate anyone, it was just a rumour, he changed clubs during season, and needed to qualify.

 

[crappermd]

Should be an interesting round next week with

Albanvale Vs Glenordan

Heights Vs Deer Park

West Vs Braybrook.

Deer Park and Glenordan secure in the four. Who will fill the other two spots and secure double chance with three rounds to go??? Any thoughts???

Forfeits

What happened to games between Central Altona and Coburg districts and Brunswick Power and braybrook in the firsts where results just missed in the paper or were games in the firsts forfeited and if so why.

I can understand forfeits in the seconds thru lack of players etc.

I play for Districts; all I know is I got a text message from our coach saying this weeks game was off. From what I can gather, allegedly the league kicked Central Altona out. But I'm still waiting for the league to make some sort of announcement. With Brunswick, it wouldn't suprise me if they couldn't get enough players - for a while quite a few have been playing both games on a Saturday.

Re: Forfeits

Lol not good for the Magpies with Brunswick Power gone ... probly forever the laughing stock now unless they keep the juniors from moving to other clubs.

 

[kangaman06]

Re: Forfeits

Initially I must agree with you, from what I saw Brunswick were the much better side, both in terms of skill and heart. But now with Brunswick dropping out altogether, I must say at least Western Magpies have the ticker to stay in the comp, even after getting beaten senseless every week.
But they must keep their juniors together, hell i'd even be playing some of the 18's and even 16's so they can get a taste of senior level footy and it'll show the juniors that the club is keen to have them around longer than just junior footy.

Some of the 18's have been playing in the seniors at different points during the year, not in the last few weeks though. Youre right they do have the ticker to stay in the comp and survive. Next year (Hoping the 18s stay on with the club) they will be on the rise up the ladder, the 18s beat Werribee Juniors (who are the top side) on the weekend and are looking good for the premiership. They're getting beaten senseless most weeks, its not good, but they're looking towards the future. Hopefully its the Western Magpies on the rise for next year.

Just looked on the Western Magpies site and it has been updated a bit, the plans for the new clubrooms (Stage 1) are on the website

Is there definitely going to be new clubrooms or are they just talking about it at the moment?

 

[kangaman06]

Some interesting games this week.
ALBANVALE vs GLENORDEN

GLADSTONE PARK vs COBURG DISTRICTS

SUNSHINE HEIGHTS vs DEER PARK

WEST FOOTSCRAY vs BRAYBROOK

WYND'VALE FALCS vs WESTERN MAGPIES

Top 4 playing off against each other and some games that could decide the second half of the 8 - 8th spot in particular. Any thoughts?
