Edey, what you are saying is true. I guess that Nellie Bay and Singo are not in a position to field 2 senior teams and would only look at 1 team each in reserves which will help them stay viable and build to 2 teams in 1 to 2 years. Reading the football posts (sifting out the rubbish) I got...

NELSON BAY:? May not have a team. let alone a coach. This should be the main priority for the league. AFL needs a team in Port Stephens. Its probably too far sighted to suggest that Maitland is important to the growth of the code too, when a traditionally strong side like Nelson Bay is allowed...

Gordo is on great terms at WB. He's a great bloke who is out with the rest of the doggies on a regular basis. My mail is he'll be in Sydney again next year. Pity really 'cos he should have a go at VFL/WAFL/SANFL level. Ressies should be strong again next year with 10 age 20's players new to...

For seniors Warners Bay came 3rd in the Black Diamond Cup and won the premiership in Reserves. For your kids the Junior committee is very good and all junior grades made finals and for the under 10s Warners Bay were awarded Auskick Centre of the year. Lake Macquarie had one senior team...

If we are talking football best in recent history I've seen: Best Ruck: Trevor De Roost (City) Best Centre: Dave Metcalfe (WB) Best on-baller: Scot Ducker (WB) Best Forward: Morrie Goolagong (Ter) Best Back: Luke Rawnsley (City) Any thoughts?

Thanks for all your contributions Dave. I think all BDAFL club supporters appreciate the pix and doubly appreciate that you left your camera off on their silly sundays.

What a great grand final day for all concerned. Well done to the Terrigal U18s to make the GF after proving too disciplined for Warners. The Cardiff team played professionally and with maturity and were dynamic, deserving winners. As coach I thought in ressies it was a great first quarter...

I have had legal advice on this issue, and what UTF says is substantially true, you have the right to refuse to have your car or bag searched on entry, however that gives them the right to refuse entry to you. However, once allowed inside (legally), security have absolutely no right to search...

Yep, the program is: U18s start 9.25 Presentation 11.40 Ressies start 12.00 Pres. 2.15 Firsts start 2.35 Pres 4.45 Times approximate dependant on time on etc

pie eater is one of those who think that the BDAFL should continue its policy of placing all footballers who move to Newcastle from AFL states with Cardiff until they are strong enough to have their own league and play with themselves even more. We are trying to make the rules fairer ie limit...

Great day to play football yesterday weather wise, wasn't it. Pity this wasn't allowed for in the planning. Pie eater is spot on abut the main criterium from the league being revenue, this was freely admitted to on the latest news article on the BDAFL website. The website article also provides...

Re: !!! News Flash !!!

Gosford Tigers AFL Club president Bill Walford said less affluent regional areas were those hardest hit by the financial strain. He said limited finances were partly to blame for this season's low participation rate, which was well down from five years ago. "The junior club numbers are...

Super, I totally agree with you. I'm from old days of footy pre this "duty of care" crap that players now have - we played hard and got smashed too. After the game we always had a beer with the opposition win, lose or draw (unless in hospital getting fixed). Whats happens on the field etc...

Mate, you've caught my interest on that comment. So what your saying is that the boys on Saturday who got yellow carded on Saturday were really only cautioned. So their reports are invalid? I'm confused on this point.

Great pix Dave, good to see plenty of shots of 18s and magoos.

Good stats - great to see Morrie Goolagong in there, an icon of the BDAFL. Still going and playing firsts for St George - I watched him playing next to Dugmore yesterday. Older and bigger but strong - kicked 2 or 3 goals

Fair dinkum, I thought this forum was about footy, not talking crap about who rang who, or where people live. We just had a day of finals footy with everything: 1. U18s - Thrilling game separated by 1 point. 2. Magoos - A better standard than the ressies in the Sydney comp I watched on...

Re: Nelson Bay First off, the 18s. josh Nesbitt for City was unfortunately seriously injured and taken to hospital in an ambo . Hopefully ok??? City were well on top mid 3rd quarter 4 goals heaps to 1 goal. Then Terrigal bounced back kicking 4 unanswered goals to pop in front. From there a...

Coach potato, I saw the Killarney V Warners game on the weekend. The bombers had I reckon at least 6 backing up from 2s so don't read too much into the scores on the weekend. i don't know if they were playing possum but I suspect at home with both sides bringing rested players in the game will...

I read with with interest on the BDAFL website that the league considers everyone who didn't make finals "losers":mad:.I disagree and would particularly congratulate all concerned from Nelson Bay, Lake Macquarie, Wyong and Singleton who persisted in the running of their respective clubs in a...

Sportsbet Opening calls on the Black Diamond GF: Cardiff: $1.15 City: $2.80 Warners Bay: $5.50 Killarney: $9.00 Terrigal: $21.00 Gosford: $21.00 Anyone got odds on the Ressies or U18s?:D:o:D

Noodles, bloody good that you had you had a lot of 18s - that's good for yr club and the comp.We had a pretty strong 18s side and I thought the game was a good hard hitout. The melee in the last quarter which stopped the game was unfortunately exacerbated by poor umpiring. I don't like to bag...

Mate, I thought you were going to City, where the local currency isn't paint cans, its runner up medals.

Rizzbang, interesting to see young Bartlem swallowing his pride after being offered less than a quarter of the contract offered to Scot Ducker. Is it true that the BDAFL subsidised the offer to the Duckman to keep the talent in Newcastle, not the SNAFL?:eek:

UTF glad to say they were all their own players. They had 25 at training Thursday to pick a side from. Also great that plenty came back to the pub for awards. AFL rules!:D

Yeah, it'll be great to catch up with everyone. Away a long time but BHN always close to the heart. Hope lots of the oldies be there?
