Played at Old Scotch on the weekend and the ground is a disgrace. Speaking with a few people (including umpires), and the general consensus is that it was very close to not passing the pre-game inspection.

It is closer to a paddock than a football ground.

Couldn't agree more! I'm sure the two OI blokes needing knee reco's wont take any consolation out of that...

 

[accurate1]

chesworthgale, who were the two knee reco's ?

Will Nicho see out the year at McKinnon? Tips on which VAFA club he'll find himself at in 2008?

De La?

If I had my way, it would be STBMT - they'd be a perfect fit!!!

They'll be easy to spot, they'll be there on Thursday night training sampling Chez and Kaz's fine cooking while sinking a few 3 Ravens beers from behind the bar

How will brighton go having to travel over the river this week, will they become overwhelmed by having to travel away from there beaches

 

[Penski]

Does anyone know if there is a specific reason behond why it takes so long to get the latest edition of the "Amateur Footballer" up on the VAFA website?

Last year they were putting up each round's edition the friday afternoon before the round begins, and this week they seem to be doing it days after the round has completed (round 3 is still not up yet).

I only get to about half the games during the year so can't always get my hands on a copy.

Also the scores are up much later on a Saturday night on the hotline as compared to previous years.

What's going on down at EP?

Ripe for the pickings you would suggest. Seems as though the Uni fellows are just starting to warm up. Should be an enthralling contest that one.

Where does everyone think Old Scotch will finish this year?

 

[God Yeah]

De La looked very dodgy last week v's OT, OT long and direct and paid dividends, De La possibly working on their tans.

Me thinks it's time to promote some seasoned twos players and rest some of the younger brigade in the 19's, with the comp as close as results so far, wins may be at a premium.

Is this fair dinkum? Having been through a knee reco i feel for those blokes if it's true, wouldn't wish it upon anyone.

Even though it could be a shocking coincidence that a team could have 2 blokes go down with knees in one game, Scotch's ground has been unacceptable for years (wet or dry). Whoever has control down there (I imagine council?) has no idea of how to convert a cricket ground into a football ground and year after year it's a shocking strip to run out on.

For those of us that won't be graceing Pine Lodge on Thursday evening, can you divulge any names as to who these injuries might be?

I don't think the two lads would want their names floating around an anonymous footy forum However they are pretty shattered considering it's round 3 & the season is looking good for the big men from the Lodge

Word has been filtered to me from a few Bernards players that EP on the weekend was as hard as Glenhuntly Road. Allegedly the ground hadnt been watered in 3 weeks due to malfunction with overnight sprinkler system.

Quicker they get to Victoria park the better.

 

[MurphysLaw]

Gill-
Lets just say that De La's ground the week before was almost (repeat Almost) better....

 

[Super_Dal]

I trained on EP last night and also played on it a couple weeks ago....

i didnt think the surface there was too bad at all compared to other grounds...

Yeah - Fluff will probably be the difference between a 6 goal defeat and a 10 goal belting at the hands of a pumped up De La Salle.

Who are we kidding here? OH had their B section pass for 2008 stamped during the off-season when their mercenaries left with their medals in one hand and a map to the nearest country club with cash to splash in the other.

If Carson is the heart and soul of OH, then "Foo" ate the rest of the club's body by mistake.
