Thanks for the update mate. Lets hope consensus is reached between clubs! 1. probably out - most blokes at this level enjoy the long weekend off 2. Haven't seen the draw and when finals are, but ACT Govt might cry if there is not enough time for the grounds to "recover" in time for cricket...

Disagree. One of the most ******ed decisions I have ever heard. I realise it was an ACT Government decision and I think they have made the wrong one. I have no doubt the grounds will be no worse off had games been played on the weekend. Jerks. Now I cant wait for AFL Canberra to make a...

Here is my mail (not confirmed, just rumours like 99% of this site....) There will be 5 teams from Div 2 joining the existing 5 teams from Div 1 in 2014. It will be a ten team division Queanbeyan Belconnen Ainslie Eastlake Tuggeranong ADFA ANU Gungahlin Murrumbidgee South Coast There will...

Hi everyone, BMFC had their preso night on Saturday and there were some worthy winners. Skip received the Len Sheedy award - an award given in recognition for services to 2s/3s (formerly CDs divisions). Jamie Duncan took out the 3s award from Rory Markham. JD is heading out to play for...

Yeah mate - i know it is often impossible to confirm rumours on this site, but the mail you have is true! All done. Its been a blast.

So it is true??? AFL Canberra = bunch of twats. I like it how one week an official can run from the stands to the fence to report a player for high contact when there were three umpires within metres of the contest that did not find the incident report worthy - a free kick and 50m penalty...

Hi everyone, Firstly, congrats to the premiers (ANU 3s and ADFA 2s) as well as commiserations to he runners up. I wasnt at Greenway but heard the 2s game was a pearler. I did hear that there was a yellow card for an ADFA player (71) late in the last quarter and he was ordered from the field...

redoing the surface (I think they are lowering the height of the ground)? hopefully this pic I pasted in works - Manuka surface looks about as good as Kingston Oval did a few weeks ago :)

I know that the NEAFL Finals are at The Nest (due to Manuka being unavailable) but have no idea about the location(s) for other finals!!!

I hope you are not suggesting that BMFC are stacking their 3s side? If you are making such a stupid claim I would encourage you to do a bit of homework. I am involved with the selection of players at Belco, and unlike one team clubs there is a bit more to do than just pick one team from a list...

Righto I think everyone else has had a crack and now it is my turn.... Given the circumstances I think what ADFA did was not as bad as everyone is making it out to be. At the end of the day there were two games of footy held at Batemans Bay on the weekend instead of one - so that is a positive...

Two interesting posts... 1. Yass potentially folding. I hope not. A team full of tough guys that remind us Canberra folk what "bush footy" is all about - this team must remain in the comp to keep us all honest!!!! Would be a real shame if they were not around in 2013 2. ADFA not fielding a team...

Now now children, lets play nice..... SC there is no requirement for people to "reveal" themselves, so dont worry about it mate. Otherwise you end up like old mate ABH carrying on about it!!! Just to put the other issue of "stacking" sides to bed - I am pretty sure there are league laws/by laws...

And news on the rep team would be good - I know nothing about it!

Not offended southcab, just trying to convey my point as much as you were with yours. Jectz, like 12 Magpies mentions, it is to do with having support staff and items (trainers kits, stretcher, water bottles etc) available at both grounds, or three ground if the chicks team are at a third venue...

Not quite like that southcab - we did review the draw and put in suggestions but it shouldn't even get to that, surely you could appreciate that it is silly by the league to not give priority to clubs in our situation. It stretches already limited resources and the point I was making was the...

I dont know the complete ins and outs of club admin, balance sheets etc but I can confirm that the $400 is for new players. returning players only pay $250 (from memory) and it includes some gear, club membership etc. So it is not far off the mark. Players that only play a handful of games (not...

Hi guys, Just to defend BMFC rego price. The $400 includes club apparel - Jacket, polo, footy bag, green training jumper, shorts and socks, membership to the sportsclub. There is a discounted rego for guys that already have uniforms etc from 2011. Also have special access to physio and sports...

Well, Footy hasnt been over very long and i am bored already... Congrats to the premiers of both grades. As for blokes getting on here complaining about arrogance, if you dont like it there is one way to silence the alleged arrogant people - beat em! I think sometimes arrogance is a term...

I would say we (BMFC) would have an informal chat to Shaneo at some stage and see where he is at, but we might let him chill for a bit as i am sure he would have a bit of thinking to do. Young family and living out of town might make it difficult as well as for this in my recent post: I have...

Traditionally first semi relates to 3 v 4 and second semi is 1 v 2 and the second semi is played first (on the saturday) dont ask me why it is, but that is how it has been named in the past.....

Hey all, great week for finals - weather has been awesome (compared to last week) for training and two fine days forecast for the weekend. Firstly, top 5 - up da middle I usually bring this up every august! this year in 3s it was interesting - in round 18 ANU played Eastlake (4 v 5) and the...

Quality side, especially when blokes like Joel O'Brien miss out. Captain? Coach? BTW - have seen the AFL Canberra finals manual, can confirm my earlier post is correct (3 v 4 is on Sunday)

I wouldnt be surprised if sporting pulse is wrong. BMFC (and other clubs) got an email from AFL Canberra on 3 august that states second semi (1 v 2) is on Saturday, and first semi (3 v 4) is on sunday - as it has been in previous years. I am thinking sporrting pulse has not been fully updated...

I had the opportunity to fill in for our 4s one week when they were very short of numbers, and it happened to be against Tuggers 4s. In my opinion there is a big difference in playing standards between 3s and 4s. I also think you nailed it in your comparison - 3s has a higher skill level...

Yeah good luck to the ANU and Eastlake lads in what has come down to an "elimination" final. Perfect scenario for the ANU 50th anniversary celebrations. We will play the winner in the semi final the following week, but first have a tough assignment against the Hogs who towelled us first time we...

hey mate, all finals are at footy park this year i am told, and as usual features womens, 4s and 3s from 10am, midday and 2.15pm sat 27 aug 2nd semi (1v2) sun 28 aug 1st semi (3v4) sun 4 sept prelim final sat 10 sept grand final looks like ANU v Eastlake next weekend just might be an...

If its Bobby your talking about, a bloke told me today he sent dawso off with a yellow as well.He also sent a couple from yass and had no qualms about it either :D Belco v Woden on the weekend had a guy umpiring that i have recognised from 1st grade/NEAFL. He is a great umpire (bounced the...

ADFA got up by 14 points (i think) Them 9.8.62 Us 6.12.48 quality game of footy, arm wrestle for most of the night, couple of late goals to ADFA sealed it. lights were not the brightest but i guess we both had to play under them. ADFA crowd - loud but definitely not offensive so well done...

Top 5 has always been my preference, especially with at least ten teams in a division. It (top 5) is probably the fairest format, and does give an extra week of finals. having said that, top 4 aint that bad... We are now near the half way mark, anyone wanna make adjustments to their top...
