I don't think Macleod will win by that margin given the wet conditions and the fact that a few players are being rested. What I can say is that West Heidelberg will kick more goals against Macleod than what Shite Creek did last week

I suppose desperate times means desperate measures. Good to see Whittlesea going with the youth policy and blooding the kids from the junior ranks. Archer will bring what's needed at the Eagles - his extreme pace Maybe you should have cleared Straughnie - at least he can kick a few goals.

Wouldn't help 'em .

That's a bit harsh. Phelan was one of Shite Creek's better players. As for Anstey, it was most embarrassing to say the least. My 7 year old daughter can kick better on her non preferred foot !

Heidelberg - the VFL wannabee's Mernda - as commented on 88.6FM, "the only team to trouble us so far to date, even though we pumped 'em" S Kelly being interviewed after the game. Mernda still keyboard favourites apparently;) Hurstbridge - weren't they in 1st division a few years ago ??:eek:

You're a very astute judge Stude...I felt sorry for Diamond Creek when the coach said at 3/4 time, "if you don't run this quarter, you will all be at training on Monday, Tuesday & Thursday, in fact, we will train those days and if anyone misses a session, don't expect a game next week." I was...

This weeks tips : Epping by 200 over Heidelberg West Mernda by 60 over South Morang Macleod by 30 over Diamond Creek Whittlesea by 80 over Panton Hill Lower Plenty by 100 over Reservoir Fitzroy by 70 over Hurstbridge Parkside by 10 over Watsonia Macleod - v - Diamond Creek : Listen to 88.6...

How is your "solution" going to solve the problem of poor umpiring decisions ? Why would they accept constructive feedback at training when they don't accept it during the game ? Please........ Yes - players do swear and umpires should not penalise this unless it is personally directed at...

Of all the winning margins this year by Macleod, Parkside has got the closest of any team - does that answer your question ? Parkside was excellent and if they carry that form into next weeks game against Watsonia, then they can expect a good win.

Are you to say that the player got a Red Card and sent off, not to return for the remainder of the game, only to be told that the report has been withdrawn ????? I get the impression that the umpires don't like taking the time out to attend a tribunal hearing.....

Parkside - v Macleod Quite a baffling game to follow given that the umpiring was upto Under 10 standard. No less than 10 x 50 meter penalties had the crowd scratching it's head. I've never seen these umpires before, so not sure if the NFL was trying something new, but "dumpy & lumpy" need a...

This weeks tips Diamond Creek - v - Whittlesea : 80+ points Epping - v - Lower Plenty : 30 points Hurstbridge - v - Reservoir : 40 points Mernda - v - H'West : 200 points Sth Morang - v - Watsonia 80 points Panton Hill - v - Fitzroy 60 points Parkside - v - Macleod 120 points Could be lots...

Heidelberg may just struggle in D2. How about go a little further down to D3 where you may be appreciated

Coming from someone who quoted as recently as last Saturday that "the only team that can beat Macleod is Macleod themselves" Any of the top 7 teams can win it on the day. I saw Lower Plenty last week and they were certainly on their game against Fitzroy. Macleod are yet to play Diamond Creek...

I understand that the President's of each club are called into the NFL after Round 13 and they apparently draw it out of a hat. How they organise the home or away team is anyone's guess, but I would say that the fairest system would be to look at the previous 13 rounds and work out who played 6...

As for the previous Macleod blokes having a crack, Have to agree on some of your points, Watsonia did have a plan to try and unsettle you guys, the same plan that almost worked in a final last year. Unfortunatley some efforts were misguided and not very smart at all, we were the agressors on...

It was number 16 It was clear from the start of the game what Watsonia's intentions were. They clearly had more focus on bullying Macleod, something that is consistent with some of the teams we have played this year, in particular, Mernda, Reservoir, Whittlesea and now Watsonia. It must be...

5 rounds until the split so I thought I would go through the remainder of the fixture and work out how things may pan out. Still to play : Diamond Creek - Whittlesea, Macleod, Reservoir, Watsonia, H/West Should win 4 or 5 Macleod - Parkside, Diamond Creek, H/West, Panton Hill, Epping...

The umpires certainly didn't control the game. Hodgson gave Obrien a "Barry Hall to Staker" left hook to the eye - just a gutless effort. Then has crack at Lundberg only when his team mates were near by - another gutless effort, and to come back on and hit again after being sent off, deserved at...

You don't seem to "get it" Moosey...... It's not about broadcasting the best game of the week, it's about getting exposure to some teams that usually don't receive it and I think West Heidelberg deserve some recognition. It's a slap in the face to those people involved at HW & PH as you want...

That's a blinkered view Moosey. If they always broadcast the "best game" of the round, then D2 wouldn't get a look in, let alone forthcoming D3. Nonetheless, this game will probably be more of a contest as opposed to your beloved Mernda, who will probably get smashed to bits by a big big...

Your bench made plenty of comments on the umpiring as did the clown who got sent off for trying to shake the umpires hand. Also heard that swine flu may hit your club ...is that true ? I'm sure the NFL would be interested to hear that

Whoever No 19 was for Lower - was BOG for mine. I don't buy footy records anymore

Went and saw a one sided affair today and got to say that either Fitzroy made Lower look really good or Lower made Fitzroy look really bad. Fitzroy don't seem to have any sort of game plan. Players coming off the ground for no reason other to say 'I'm not injured, just need a break" and others...

Re: Fitzroy Stars 2008 Season The atmosphere - yeah - was good behind the goals, but I guess I would prefer to have it right around the ground as opposed to 1 section. Imagine if they played a final there and the crowd was sectioned off behind the goals - it would be stupid.

Spoken like a true clubman.......NOT Sorry mate, but I think my $2.50 x 18 = $47 is somewhat a lot less than the $220 annual sponsorship / membership that I pay. So I don't like the record's contents - do a straw poll and you will find most others have the same opinion.

I think that's a bit unfair on Kevin Crompton. His son plays at Macleod and he never comes to watch a full game, let alone at all. He attends quite a few different matches every Saturday, so what you have written is not right. As for the other NFL representatives, I cant answer that question...

I'm going to the Lower/Fitzroy game this week with Macleod having the bye. Where is everyone going this Saturday ? Looking forward to a cracking contest. I don't think Fitroy will maintain their form and Lower back into finals contention........ Here's hoping anyway

Re: Fitzroy Stars 2008 Season Yep - I was at that game and If it's played there again under the viewing conditions, I can assure you that I wont go. At least ask the council to open up the forward pocket to the wing on the Southern side of the ground - is that asking too much ?

What does that mean ?
