Not a bag effort here.
Let's not forget Hampton were 4-1 last year and completely melted. Depth to be tested in an extra long season. I would be surprised if by round 12 they are still above OI and OG.
Don't rule out Parkdale either. They are young, but could easily have beaten Ormond at the...
Yes I don’t hold it against them at all. I’m sure they made the right decision for the club, I just thought they of all teams would be wanting that success. They were the best team this year, they’ll be good in Prem B for sure. But the top 5 are leaps and bounds better than the rest. We will...
I get the want to play at the highest level one can, but I was surprised anyone wanted to go up. Especially Monash of all sides - no flags in 19 years and having spent the last few years getting smashed in Prem B I would have thought they would want to wait one more year and get up the hard way...
And just like that home and away is done, and if finals go ahead, it was a god send for OI. Feel for the Mazenod boys.

Looks like top 5 now all but set. Monash and OG locked in as 1 and 2.
Will be a dog fight for 3 and 4.
Run home:
Ormond
Preston (away)
Old Ivanhoe (home)
UHS-VU (away)
Old Mentone (home)

Flat about my first missed tips - but I would have gotten three. No way I saw OG and Ormond winning.
Getting in early:
Ormond
Old Mentone
Mazenod

Had a look, seemed like a bit of normal biff until he touched the umpy (even though it seemed to be a slight push to his chest). I think 6 weeks is everything combined. 6 weeks just for the ump push is a lot.

Just read the Prem C write up. Would have been good to see him take on Cameron this week. Congrats to the big fella and the club. Looks like a handy talent.
Really hurts Old Ivanhoe who looked poised to enter the 4. Great for Mazenod and UHS-VU. UHS share points with Monash. Could be a factor at the end if Marcellin don't get their shit together.
I see what you're saying, but I think Mac's presence played more of a role than he did himself. He did not take one mark in the back 50. Ormond's mids clearly won the stoppages all day (though they were beaten at the centre bounce convincingly). He did not do much around on the ground. What he...
Suckling was clearly best on for me, and it was not close. This was the first time in a few Ormond games I have seen that I thought he actually came out and did more than simply was was required. However, Monash refused to man him up so they clearly thought he was not particularly damaging. I...
Got down for the Monash/Ormond game. I can confirm it was a horribly over umpired game for both sides and it ruined the flow. Monash got a few goals from free kicks and in a game where scoring was tough it turned out to be the difference. Ormond lacking options forward with Tolongs and Cathcart...
Would love to know people's thoughts on the Preston/UHS game this week. I would have thought the Bullants were strong favs but UHS have been up a great fight the last few weeks while Preston seem to have gone backwards. I am surprised by how difficult the Calcedo boys have found promotion. Sean...
I went down to the Ormond/OGs game. Confirmed a bit of my suspicions that OG might be pretenders. Belted by the top 2 and yet to play Hampton. They have some top tier quality in Dixon, Simson, Sloss but gee whiz does it fall away from there. I understand they had a few out yesterday looking at...
I actually met the C grade scribe last weekend. Quite young. He said Monday is the general deadline, then the VAFA will edit and put it out.
I do miss when the VAFA did a report and then a preview later in the week. This chap said he watches a half of most games from the section to get to know...
Made my way out to Ivanhoe as it was quite local to me. You're right Max, Suckling is impressive to watch. Ivanhoe are a big team. #1 Velluto is a gun. Monster of a bloke. Robertson #3 is also a handful down back and they try release him for the intercept mark. Ormond's pressure and polish was...
