Changing the club's name to O'Power House.
They will need the luck of the Irish this season.
At least the Irish boys have a fair crack and are terrific to have around the club!:D
Called into this tranquil seaside venue for this clash of the cellar dwellers.
Talk about a remote location! Would have been easier to fly to Avalon Airport and drive from there!
Blustery conditions, big ground and not a lot of quality or talent on show.
Plenty of endeavour from both outfits but...
It must be the pre-season pressure and nerves together with the deluded publicity machine down at Centrals that you borrowed from your AFL namesakes.:confused:
Relax, no hate here my friend.:mad:
I think Centrals are a terrfic club and having enjoyed their hospitality in the past would hazard to...
Gee, things are really slipping on here if we are now starting to sound intellectual! :eek:
Your comments are valid and have a degree of acceptance from me.
I just believe there must be some form of compromise in all of this.
Aquinas by thirty three points. SFX carsick for the first half.
Elsternwick by 25 points. Centrals overhyped like their Richmond AFL brothers
Ivanhoe by 49 points. Will prove formidable at home this season
Hawthorn to prevail by 28 points. UHS-VU to leave with tails between their legs on the...
I'm all for 'we wanna get on the piss' campaign" Chump.
Respect your comments, however, I feel there must be a solution somewhere in the middle. Maybe drinks at halftime for a limited session to keep the Reserve players at the ground, etc.
Bridie O'Reillys?
Isn't that the home ground for Powder House and Abort Park?
With the amount of Irish players in these two lakeside clubs its like a suburb of Dublin.
More likely to be Gaelic clubs in the future than footy clubs.
Spot the Aussie.
Absolutely spot on with your observations mitch fc
The VAFA lives in the dark ages.
Surely double standards exist when the VAFA can happily sanction "luncheons" at home games for clubs and the clubs then serve alcohol, generally with no major repercussions.
These "luncheons" usually attract...
The bottom line is this !!!
After an assortment of clowns, fools and imposters in Neesham, Connally, Drum and the bogan Harvey, you now have the best coach in the league in Ross Lyon.
Their approach to the game, their style and structures mean that Freo are finally a real football side.
For...
Heard the Grand Prix hosts Power House had a hard fought win against Caulfield (SFL) in their practice match on the weekend.
Lots of senior players missing including Edwards - so a win is a win.
Finally someone has said the truth that has remained the worst kept secret for years.
The Ammo clubs have been paying serious dough for years for their top tier players
and right throughout the grades.
I will preface this by saying that it is limited to a select few at some clubs.
It is so...
Based on last night's insipid performanace by the meek Tigers after all the pre-season hype and false promises (as per usual), Richmond Centrals players might be a chance to be drafted into the senior AFL Tigers line up.
Fancy extending a coach's contract BEFORE he has actually achieved...
Elsternwick and Powder House were both at the Irsish Embassy trying to arrange more Irish imports to bolster their numbers.
Is there any chance of these clubs actually recruiting "a local" as opposed to focussing on the return from the bar takings with the healthy consumption of the Irish?
At...
I need to address some absolute rubbish from recent posters on here before I ring
Kim Duthie for an intense opposition analysis session at Rick Nixon's holiday home.
Firstly, the goal kicking machine that is Edwards has been seen training at Powder House in pre-season. From all reports super...
Picked in State squad, so no mug!
Can play the boy.
Might not be super damaging but if you get the aggot forty times a game that affects the outcome no matter what!
He would walk into most sides in the lower sections with ease!
OW will be very hard to beat on their own patch.
Most sides will be suffering car sickness from the three hours drive
to get to their ground.
With "the bankable" home wins factor they should definitely be around the finals mark.
Generally have skilled, running sides with heaps of young...
Conversely, Powder House recruited Martin Pike to coach them in recent times.
Terrific in his first season and just missed promotion.
The "name style coach" certainly creates excitement and enthusiasm at a club intially.
The task is to build upon that foundation and make sure that you...
Ran into Gryphs player (Seniors) recently and congratulated him and his club on their continuing progress and success.
He told me that Osborne's senior asistant coach actually did the majority of the coaching, addresses and moves as Richard had commitments outside the club which impinged on his...
Dee Three.
The first sensible thing you have said on here.
I have escaped the sin bin imposed by "the fun police" on here!
Irony, sarcasm and tongue in cheek humour not welcome apparently.
So we try again!
Welcome Shane048.
Good luck with the Falcons this season.
How did you end up at the...
Also Dee Three (or should that be Dee Minus for your tame posts)
are you not really "the veteran" running around with the kids at present.
Unfortunately, not to play football.;)
How is your side travelling Dee Three ???
How are the numbers at your club???:rolleyes:
Give us some real info is you...
The closest association I have had to the Postage stamp and the Wicks
is to drink their beer, kick six in a quarter many moons ago in a Seniors clash, celebrate numerous past victories over the red and black and wonder when they will get an extension to their oval to make it an adult playing...
Well done to RC if you have been able to have quality youngsters playing at your club.
Certainly seems to be the exception and not the rule!
Need some extraordinary circumstances like the Assumption and Prahran combine to get substantial youth through the doors unless you have a school...
I have returned from my enforced stay in the sin bin.
Apparently "taking the piss' and friendly banter is not tolerated on here.
No matter, the comments will be modified to suit.
My observations as to the veterans from Elsternwick was actually a compliment to them.
They have carried their...
Interesting to note that fellow pundits have the overwhelming numbers tipping Power(less)House to slip in to the cesspool of D4 at season's end.:confused:
Losing one ruckman (sad loss for voyeurs of leaping, heavily inked up men) who admittedly is a quality player and the doomsayers are...
