WRFL Division 2

[Gemini17]

Yeah real hard run on last years results. Deer Park were good, Wyndhamvale fell into the finals and none of the other 4 made the finals. However it is slightly harder than you have had in the past as you usually get 3 out of the bottom 4 to double up against.

And Blueboy you have Webster and Saliba, one good tagging job leaves you with one gun on baller. As goes bang says you will need to stop Greto, Mallia, Caruana's, Nicholaides, Weston who are all guns, another difference besides the amount of gun midfielders is that the majority of our players actually go in and get the ball.

How does it go coach 'Wrong again'? North Footscray also played finals. Braybrook were knocking on the door and North Sunshine look to have improved.

Looks like premiership favourtism is with Heights. West cannot match their on ballers, and our forward line is too fat and slow. Hope the backline holds up or we are in for some floggings.

Who's got games this weekend. West play Old Westbourne on Saturday in Werribee.

typewriter i havent heard to much from the falcons as they probably have got computers or internet down there way yet lol . yeah ur probably safe saying ull be in the top 5 yet again but u guys really need to come thru 4 a change instead of being around the mark ever year it must get a bit frustrating r u guys on ur ground at present or training elsewhere do u have a game this weekend

i agree hammers heights have worked hard on that mental attitude near enuf is not good enuf. a few years ago we really struggled to overcome the big eg exodus of players that left/retired. a new coach Bomber came in and more recently asistant Michael grima have worked really hard to blood youngsters includeding the gretos westos and caruanas who r now our veterans at only 24 years of age, right up2 the likes of the nicolaides boys nick caruana Kapetanos' etc more recently. hopefully we have finally got that blend to push for more success, it is exciting times down at dragonland.

Wests midfield isnt that bad.... just not AS good as Heights... still better than alot of others in the comp

There are more than two sides in the comp..sure Heights and West will be tough but what about the finals contenders from 07 that have recruited over summer. Deer Park will be thereabouts again under Robbie May and if that Dipper etc stick around then they'll be tough. North Footscray..I bumped into a bloke on their committee the other day and he was quietly confident they were on track for a real tilt at it it this year given their recruiting over summer.

Fair points but the only teams posting positive stuff on here are heights, west and North....

Karim Posts for Albanvale but he just makes them look silly
Mithman/Crazyhouse made people think that Coburg are no good.
Weapons has given up on the Deer Park Pensioners
Don't hear much about the others....


It's all just crap talk anyway.... bring on Round 1!!!!

 

[Blueboy16]

Deer Park have no chance. They will make finals but are just making up numbers.

 

[bob7965]

GBF50 I think you may be underestimating Wests midfield. Webbie, Cam Saliba etc will get their hands on the ball more than enough times to supply the forwards.....

Saliba will get plenty of it and he is a quality player but his opponent will get just as much so a shootout is def on the cards but heights have at least 10 quality on ballers they can put in there for rotation so fresher legs may be the difference.

Innella will struggle this year he is def on his last legs.Mark my words 75-80% of his goals will come against the minnows Brunswick,western magpies etc.

i agree bangers bring on round 1.

then teams can do their talking on the field.

i still think wests and deer park r clear favourites their recruits have results in our comp prior to this season, although both teams r older than normal u cant substitute quality. we have recruited well but a few still havnt played div2 wrfl footy so r a bit unknown.

hey gem/ blue boy i am still intrigued as r many on this website how ur gona fit lane,inella,barna in 1 forward line especially in those open spaces of Essex st????

i think Gem17 will be better suited to answer that question.

Your posts all seem very similar. TD is not over confidant at all about the seasons outcomes. Am confidant that we are going to be competetive as we have recruited well and trained hard and the established players have all had their best season in years. However as I have posted many times anything can happen in football and a bit of luck with injuries, form etc at the right end of the season is always a factor on how far sides go. eg in the AFL the side that wins the premiership has used the least or close to the least players for the season. Sydney played their premiership year with about 15 players playing close to every game.

I still think West and Deer Park are favourites and Heights comes in the next bracket.

And Gemini yes I was wrong about Nth but they also fell into the finals so on last years results you have Deer Park who were very good and 2 other sides that fell into finals. Yes others look to have improved but hasn't everyone improved at this time of year. So enjoy your slightly harder draw as you usually have the 3 or 4 bottom teams twice.

What all of a sudden you don't know. You know the ins and outs of West Footscray unbelievably so for someone new to the club. Yes you should be unstoppable with the forward line you have only problem being it would be in a tug of war.

Fair point TD

I stand to be corrected on this but I beleive that Glenorden used on 27 or 28 players in their senior team last year... and Deer Park were around 32 -33... Most other teams were way higher than that.... Heights used 49 different players in the seniors..

not sure how good your reading ability is td but the question was directed to gemini if i wished to hear your response i would have addressed it to you

TD your police work isn't great, maybe time to go back to the academy, but with me being a player i am unaware of what structure the coaches have in place to use those 3 so that they dont get in each others ways. Gem17 is a coach of the club, thats why I put it over to him. Thats what i meant to being better suited to answer?

Well Billy who pulled your chain. back to the RDFL thread for you. Oh while your here would you kindly advise Mr TD that I played in the RDFL last season with you!

Won't be a problem to fit them in. Barna not playing this year due to work. Our problem is Heights backline obviously has our measure - so we need to work around that.

hey any1 played glenroy yet this year?

Perhaps you should have sent a private message, I thought I read it on the public forum. Silly me.

Also do you think everyone is that silly to think that you are only known as al smith. Two log ons. Very classy.

TD you are making quite a few assumtions the last few days. Both Gem17 & Al Smith are different people.

Are you insinuating that I am Al Smith? If I was that full of it I would have called myself DougMac94 or Ollie99. People on here know who I am. Care to drop a 'Bomb' on us and reveal your identity.
