No problem parking at Upwey!!!! - the old building is coming down and so is the Portable visitors rooms - so will be same as was there previously, and with the proposed school redevelopment there will be another 60 or so - a vast improvement.
Rooms looking great
Lets get back to the games, although I do think the Tribunal results should be published.
Top 5 in Div 1 now done and dusted, but some positions could change. Huge interest on the relegation stakes, If Belgrave lose (vs Healesville), and Emerald win (vs Warby), Belgrave go down.
Equally Wandin...
Not sure if directed at me, but if I was I would know how many from Healesville, and also from Wandin as I would have all the sheets from the League. If directed at Footy4thekids same thing applies, not sure why you choose Healesville there is another club involved.
I hope it is tonight and...
I see some details of Salary cap for next year are appearing, penalties look stiff for both player and Club in the draft.
I got this from http://www.aflvic.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/AFL-VIC-Draft-Player-Salary-Cap-Policy-28-July.pdf
Player Breach - 12 months suspension.
Club...
Not sure of details, but again Victoria wide, players to sign stat dec, AFL Vic to throw book at any one caught.
Bloody hard to police I suppose but hopefully with the points and salary cap there will be some downward pressure on payments and volunteers can start to really enjoy the game again.
That is right, but 3 points is about standard, an AFL player is 6 points, a VFL player is 5 points, with 1 point coming off for each year of service.
A player from a AFLyarraranges 1st Div club going to another 1st div club is 4 points
If a player is classified as a Home Player (40 games or...
Monniehawk - Are you on the same page Hump is talking about an incident last week!!!!!!!!
Also thought you were to smart to try an resurrect an incident from 4 or 5 years ago, probably only 10 players from both sides still playing, I would have thought you would be on the reconciliation train...
Correction - EFL with 50 Points is very high, especially when you take into account that anyone who played with an EFL club last year and is playing there again was given a 2 point discount. - at that level it has had no impact on slowing recruiting in this year - look at FTG in 4th Division...
Upwey had 8 different players from their 2015 round 18 game, all apart from one played through the juniors - 3 played in the reserves premiership.
Very brave to make statements after 1 round, but I will bravely tip no one will go through undefeated.
FYI (from Consumer Affairs Victoria)
When a club or community group incorporates, it becomes a ‘legal person’ – that is, a legal entity that stays the same even if its members change. It can enter into contracts in its own name; for example, to borrow money or buy equipment. This protects the...
Haven't heard which clubs will have them, although I understand that the League have asked for that info. I did hear Olinda were struggling, and that Upwey and Monbulk both have 20 plus players at this stage which means both will be OK in the 16 a side comp.
Junction was very good, Warby was the best ground in the comp 30 years ago, every other ground has been improved dramatically, Warby is still the same, just not up to modern standards. The change rooms are also poor, the visitors room did not have hot water after reserves game, so not sure how...
Agree with the comments but some other things to ask/mention
Is Ben Monkhorst going to be available when VFL start ? - huge hole if not
Did Belgrave get hit with the same wedding as Upwey?????
Watched Upwey Warby - Warby were good with their new recruits, Hudson the difference on the day...
Chelsea finished bottom in 2013 with a percentage of 43, no great additions in 2014, does not matter how good a coach is you do have to have players to be able to instigate the simplest game plan.
My understanding is he did resign mid season to allow Chelsea to chase up a new coach - have...
Totally agree, I think that moving to under 19's is simply moving the problem a year later.
It would be an absolute disaster to stop at Under 17's - so many kids would go to the EFl or simply stop playing.
Needs more research to really identify why kids are not playing
Spanner has stepped down at Upwey, the following is the announcement to the club
The Club have appointed Paul Howroyd as Senior Coach for Season 2015
As you all know Greg Spence informed us a couple of months ago that he would not be available to Coach next season, he has had a great 3 years...
7 of 8 sounds good, but do not count the Under 18's, what a ridiculous setup when 6th through 10th play of for the 2nd Div Premiership, talk about rewarding mediocrity - 10th side won 4 matches for the season, should have played an 8 at least Wandin who finished 8th won 7 games for the season.
Was he on the bench changed?
48.6 For the purposes of eligibility, an interchange player/s shall be deemed to have competed, whether or not he has taken the field during the match for which he was named as interchange. An interchange player must be in football uniform and on the clubs...
Anzac day game has been going for the last 6 years, both clubs have hosted it 3 times each - Monbulk did have a Saturday game in 2009.
As previously stated, both clubs keen to host, the comment previously about Upwey not being happy because they did not get game is wrong because the game has...
The distortion in this comment is mind blowing and is worthy of an answer.
Many years ago Upwey instigated the ANZAC day game with Monbulk, and when Monnie decided they would not proceed this year at the Dome, Upwey approached Belgrave to get them on board. Both Clubs wanted the game played at...
Monbulk making the early running, with Russel Robertson and Shane Williams along with Mark Favrin coming back, does anyone know if they have kept the veterans like Juice and Wraggy???
Few out at Mt Eve, looks like they are heading to Silvan to rejoin Chris Murphy.
Is Smith from Wandin to Yarra...
I thought the umpiring was not good, but both sides were affected.
I think you played short for most of the game as Fowkes was certainly a non contributor for the whole game, did not look like the player who kicked 7 the week before.
Injuries are a fact of life, every team has them, and it...
Using your theory on best defensive side, it has to be Upwey to win, they have had considerably less points against by approx. 250 points for the season (around 14 points a game)
Should be a cracker, the 2 tigers at each other
As a neutral observer, it was interesting to watch the umpiring, I thought it was pretty poor, the decision against Tim Williamson was mystifying, he kicked the ball while being tackled, yet paid against him, certainly no consistency between umpires, I could not believe that Ken Taylor was given...
Could have been closer but for Wandin's poor kicking for goal, Upwey would still have won because they certainly played the big ground very well, but certainly not a walkover.
A pleasure to see two fantastic full forwards, both lead and mark strongly, it just added something to the game...
Not the ground that is the problem, obviously Yea did not want to be left with unsold stock, but just not good enough. Not sure what would have happened if it was a big crowd.
How did it go at Alex????
