Knightmare- do you know much about Paul Hunter? Ruckman who has had a few write ups on the NEAFL website and in Inside Football as a draft prospect in a draft that isn't loaded with rucks. Wondering if you saw him as draftable. Cheers

Looks like Killarney Vale will be the big improvers in 2014 then based on White Deitz and Singleton in. White was a very good player here i recall a few years back and playing in a better competition would only serve him well which spells danger for other sides. Have heard a rumor around...

I am not sure about that one Noodles81. I had a look at a number of Gosford games this year and if anyone suggests that them rejoining the competition would be a rise they have rocks in their head. How are Wyong looking for next season. Are they any chance of returning to the premier competition?

I must say I have only seen a handful of games this season, however the standard of football seems to have dropped off this season as opposed to the previous few. I saw a little of the Terrigal and Killarney Vale match on the weekend and Killarney Vale looked to be a mile off the pace...

I believe the rep squad will be soundly defeated tomorrow. The Riverina are traditionally such a strong area. As an aside, why are there more Warners Bay and Lake Macquarie players than Cardiff players in the squad?

Borgsta, I was attempting not to implicate the whole umpiring fraternity in my post. I believe the umpires in the league in the games that I have watched do a very good job and certainly make less mistakes than the players do. This one individual was a law unto himself however and I was...

I was in Newcastle last Saturday and decided to attend the Warners Bay vs Cardiff match as well. It was the first time I had been to Warners Bay and I must say that they certainly have a vocal bunch of supporters. Having said that, the performance of the umpire in question was undoubtedly the...

I have probably seen Monk play but cannot really recall him as I havent seen too much of Newcastle City play. What sort of player is he? Will the standard of Sydney football be as strong this year with the addition of the two sides to the North Eastern AFL competition? From my observations on...

You sound well informed with the dealings of clubs. I have seen a number of Newcastle clubs who travel down to the Central Coast on game day with their poor under 18s having only a coach and manager at best to support them. I would imagine this would happen the other way as well. I feel for the...

I ventured to a few Under 18s games last season and must say I was disappointed in the skill level of players. Lots of dropped marks and poor kicking skills. I have just been reading the latest edition of Inside Football and there is an article in there about the VFL development squad and...

I think a big reason people don't post on here is because they tend to get shouted down by imbeciles who offer little. It is a great look for the league and footy community. Especially when you consider the number of people who read this forum from other areas of Australia. I also believe a...

That is a fairly substantial outlay for clubs. What does that $25000 outlay include?

Must say I have to agree with Practice22 on the standard in the competition. I watched about 4 under 18s games last year and was appalled at the poor standard of play, lack of skill as players couldn't kick to teammates only 20 metres away and the amount of dropped marks was amazing. I am...

Gee interesting Singleton went back to a fellow from a few years ago after spruiking the quality of applications. Wyong obviously looking at Hawkins I take it noodles? Have heard a number of players are leaving the league and trying their luck elsewhere. What does this mean for the standard of...

I find it hard to fathom that clubs are still finalising coaching appointments. With Cardiff and City being so far out infront over the past couple of years I would have thought that all clubs would have got on the front foot and secured coaches by the end of October in order to set up fitness...

Agree with you totally. Having watched the competition for the past 5 years and not being involved with any club you have to feel for the Gosford boys on the weekend. The fellows who took the field for them are better than I would be because there is no way I would travel up the highway knowing...

What is the contingency plan if it rains? Will they have to transfer the match to Singleton or Nelson Bay? Why is the league playing the local rep games after the Swans side plays? I know I will not be sticking around to watch the local boys play after that with a long drive back to the...

Hi Shayne welcome to the forum. It is great to see the Black Diamond improving. Just a question. If the game was a washout why was it advertised on the Black Diamond website that it had been transferred to Nelson Bay, and the Nelson Bay vs Warners Bay games completed there without the first...

Gee I just logged on to the BDAFL website and what a negative article! The only standout game between Killarney Vale and Warners Bay. What about pumping up Singletons tyres for rd 1? What about a bit of a plug for the new Gosford/Peninsula side. What about a bit of a plug for Wyong Lakes who are...

What about the clubs actually do something to recruit? I havent seen anything in a newspaper or shopping centre down my way on the coast for even junior football. Why not put banners or street signs up. Offer cheap rego etc. They do that in Melbourne and Sydney! What do clubs do for recruiting...

Wonder who the kids are. From looking at results last year Gosford didnt do too well in the 18s so may be a huge step up. Nelson Bay would have to be favourites for reserve grade now. You only have to look at Singletons performance in that grade over the past two years to make that judgement...

Good on the Crows/Dockers for getting the partnership up and running with Fremantle/Balmain. As we can see with Balmains results but it isnt a way to get success onfield, however it may increase the profile and resources for the club and attract some new players there to make them a competitive...

The two players both got 4 weeks. Amazing considering Williams would never have been up before a tribunal before and would be one of the fairest blokes to have played the game. Even worse when he didnt throw a punch! The issue is the best people in the league who SHOULD be on the board arent...

Tips for Round 1 Cardiff by 25 goals+ Terrigal by 25 goals + City by 40 goals + Warners Bay with the home ground advantage by 2 goals Tough to tip when there is no form up! Have just gone onto Wyongs website and noticed they have withdrawn their Under 18s for the season. This would be a...

Considering he has moved out of the area as I said in the last post, I would think it unlikely that he had major issues with anybody. He will be a big loss to football up here. Does anyone else think Tardus and River are the same person or is it just me?

You obviously dont because hes also left his post at Killarney Vale and apparently moved out of the area according to the Killarney Vale website. Interesting you dont ask if he had issues with Killarney Vale people Mr Tardus. A bit of a low blow at the GM from a disgruntled Umpire it would...

City by 20 Terrigal by 150 Warners Bay by 36 Lake Macquarie by 25 League Medal- Angus Darling Ladder Terrigal Warners Bay City Cardiff Killarney Vale Wyong Lake Macquarie Gosford

Which players have left Gosford? There is nothing on the clearances on the Black Diamond website. Any news on comings/goings at other clubs?

I think you just want to sit next to UTF on a hot lap around Eastern Creek.

Do the Tigers do anything but struggle? Put them in reserve grade where they might win a few games. How is your side looking UTF? I heard you landed a coaching spot. God help those kids. With Dietz and Kyle Walford gone I believe Tadd Walford is a certainty for the Elliott Davey medal. Has a...
