Re: Lachie Keefe signs two-year deal Interesting that with a number of the long term injured players, the Club has moved quickly to finalise contracts with them post injury (Krakour, Ball, Keefe IIRC). This is no doubt a great show of support for the player and would give them a mental boost in...

Tag Bennell. He is their barometer, and attacking flair. Far more taggable than Ablett too.

Re: The Gutsiest Win In The History Of Football Bucks really stamping himself. Just got the midfield match-ups spot on tonight. Setting the challenge for Thomas brought out the best in him. Reminiscent of the Pies-minus-Bucks finals win back in 03(?)

Trav can play back. Not doing anything else right now! Great win!

I'm not quite sure what the AFL team I support has anything to do with it? Also not quite sure what other useless comments you're referring to, although I suppose most of the dribble we post on here doesn't really have a use. Would you feel better if I took your approach and issued a barrage of...

Congratulations champ this is indeed a landmark victory for the people, similar to the female vote...and Mabo. Will there be a party to rival that of the 2011 Minor Premiersship to follow?:rolleyes:

I explored this issue many years ago when a series of similar events happened to some mates (fence related injuries). Seemingly, the nominated 3m buffer (requirement of the bylaws/AFL Vic etc.) is based on some statistical evidence around the relationship beween proximity of the boundary and...

Any chance they could have cobbled a side together by...say...Round 1? Good luck to those two clubs but geez, there has to be a point at which the league closes acceptances. Might just hold off to Rd 17, get a heap of the old boys together, pick a grade we think we can win, and enter a new...

I was going to start a thread for this, but this one will do. I am going to put my virtual hand up and apologise to Swanny for a few cannings I have given him in recent weeks. Not on this forum, but just amongst mates etc. I even dropped him from my supercoach team (ouch!!). I thought he was...

To offer a more thorough explanation - the main difference between the SFL and the MPNFL comps is the depth of competition. The top 4-5 teams in SFL Div 1 would sit anywhere between 2-8 in either Casey or Peninsula (I havent really seen any Nepean to comment). The bottom 3 of SFL Div 1 would get...

Re: AFL Round 14 - Collingwood vs Swans - Team Selection & General Discussion In: Jolly Swan Thomas Out: Wood Fasolo Buckley Jolly for Wood a no-brainer against Mumford. Fasolo showed promise but just not best 22 yet. Buckley got possessions but gee he is suspect under pressure and that's...

I personally would have gone Hird, Bucks, Roo, Voss myself - but the perspective of other elite players of the era is a good measure. (yes, Darcy not really elite!) You put yourself 5th? :p

I was going to suggest this. Completely agree, but he seems to be a lock in most posters minds. I don't think his form has been horrible, but is only just going at the moment. Although Blair's form has drifted, his impact on the season has been at least as good. And FWIW I can't see N.Brown...

This thread has summed up my thoughts nicely. Ch 7 are grating and a bit annoying but generally neutral and unbiased. Ch 10 team is aweful, just absolutely aweful. They are self-indulgent barrackers, labor mercilessly on irrelevant points, and add no value to the viewing experience in any...

Thrilling , yes i take your point. Kinky on his day was awesome for sure, Sav and Ant were mighty exciting too. We favour the forwards and mids here i think, apart from Billy Picken, what other backs could we consider? Harry O? For pure crowd reaction and enjoyment at his exploits, Tooves has...

And in 2003 Anthony got suspended which messed up our structure big time. With Sav we could of had him and Tarrant playing forward, instead of Mick losing his head and playing Jason Cloke and Tristan Walker up front. Geez, it really makes you wonder how the hell were we a GF side!!! Loved...

A: Unwanted hair.:D

I'm not sure that the actual kids in the MSJFL really care who processes the clearances and affiliation fees? Much less would they let that dictate where they choose to play football. This sounds like a terrible incident between two parties who it seems both played some kind of role in the...

It's hilarious! I drifted on there a while ago to add an SFL followers perspective and the response was gold. It is going to take a while for them to come to terms with the fact that when all the dust settled and the independant board that was voted in sat back and looked at it objectively, the...

They have the right attitude at the very least.

It's good debate, but for me, Bucks still by a fair bit. One point that has not been brought up is Bucks' versatility - to be able to play CHB on Carey, or kick 4-5 as a lead up forward later in his career made him far more the 'complete' footballer [eg: could you see Swan doing the job on...

Re: Div 1 2011 Very amusing read Wildy. It would be a great idea for a book I reckon, a lot of country towns/clubs would have an anecdote like this particularly going back when AFL/VFL lists weren't formalised as they are now. This guy certainly hasn't done anything of note in the SFL in the...

I have mentioned in another thread this is what I think will happen. Completely agree the sub will be a player who can be used ideally as a burst and impact midfield player, but who also can be versatile enough to play in a running position all over the ground in the event of injury. In this...

Essentially, will assume the role Goldsack played in the GF as versatile 3rd tall defender, but with the potential to take a KPF if Dawes or Cloke are injured. Will not replace L.Brown as he is not a back up ruck option. Suggesting he should be VFL until he 'proves himself' is the...

If the AFL is serious about getting the Brownlow right, they should engage a panel of independent 'Brownlow Voters' in the same manner to the Norm Smith. Three panelists per game that confer on the votes. They should be ex-players with solid credentials, who watch the game in isolation with no...

Someone called it in the other thread but one good time trial result and all of a sudden Harr O is the next Chris Judd! He is critical to the backline because of his versatility and is also a far more effective player with the game ahead of him. If he has a weakness it would be decision making...

It's a small amount of money my nanna puts away every week for her dental expenses.

OK then, so the OP about the VAFA having been 'stiffed', and the bleating about the VAFA losing their supply of umpires was purely in the interest of local junior footy? :confused: No worries buddy.

No, you're right, it doesn't. But the situation is not new. The SFL has been providing financial & administrative support for 2 years, gratis, for no real benefit to the organisation. At some point, any management worth their salt would have to say, 'there must be a way we can get some return...
