This is the first game i've managed to see for a few weeks due to work, and i have to say that the twos impressed me. I've said before i think they have a top 4 side when it's their best side. I know the results say that they haven't performed, but from what i saw on Saturday, they were extremely impressive. Being 3rd last must be pretty disappointing to a side that i know were expecting big things. They beat a side by 120 points that will be 6th with the bye in hand. ADFA were pretty ordinary, however i'd love to know if the rumours around the ground that they had low numbers was true? Hopefully by finals all sides can put close to full teams on the park.
Kane must have been proud after that effort.
The one's were a little bit disappointing, but did enough to suggest they definitely should be the top dog in the comp. I don't think i've been this excited for finals in a long time. It's definitely nice to watch some enjoyable footy. I can't watch the div 1&2 games anymore. They lack everything i liked about it 5 or 6 years ago.
I've seen that too many times with Yass in the past. I really do think this is what stops them being really respected as a good side. When i watch them play, they play some good footy, but they annoy the hell out of me. They are always whining and carrying on, even when they're in front.
That's a lucky let off for Woden! I see it was the same scoring shots as well. That would have hurt the finals aspirations for them. Anyone see the game? I would love to hear what happened there. From everything i've seen this year, Ainslie have been awful. Did they improve that much since i've been away? Or did Woden have a bad day?
This place is getting a bit quiet lately! What's been happening at the different clubs? How is everyone faring 3 weeks out from finals?

I managed to watch the Jugger vs Eastlake 1st match on Saturday and the Juggers gave them a bath. They are moving the ball better than I have seen them and they seem to have one of the best backlines going around the league. If they play like that for the rest of the season it would be hard to see them loose another match from here out.
Not really sure who would make 4th spot at the minute. Woden seem to be playing pretty bad the last few weeks and ADFA is up and down. ANU and Harman have secured 1st and 2nd spot with Murrumbidgee pretty comfortable in 3rd. My guess at this stage would be ADFA just in 4th spot due to Juggs beating Belconnen in round 18 to stop them making the 4.

ill discipline wasnt really the deciding factor on sat. the fifty we got out of the centre was a bit rough. we had the free kick and a goulburn player screamed something at the ump, he thought it was us and reversed the decision, then we did argue and copped a fifty which gave them a goal. I thought the umpiring was pretty good, but why after letting the play flow would they crack and give away soft frees ( to both sides ) . After thinking about what went wrong, it was fairly obvious . the delivery to forward line wasnt the best this week, but i couldnt hold a mark this week, and missed a set shot when we were 5 points up mid way in the last qtr, it hit the post. i reckon that goal would have won it for us, i think goulburn went home a bit sore and a bit worried about playing us again. a week is a long time in footy ( belco would agree ). belco this week again , hope we can get back on track and a win will just about seal our spot in the finals.
You say it wasn't a discipline issue but then describe exactly how ill discipline cost you a goal (and then go on to whinge about the umpires).
Poor umpiring is just a fact of life in CD's and Yass don't seem to have twigged to that fact.
I think every team in CD's would be hard pressed to say they've never had a player blow up over a poor umpiring decision. I know I've been guilty of it on more than one occasion.
Generally speaking though, the umpires pay a free-kick and/or a 50 metre penalty and that's usually the end of it. Teams realise the umpiring is ordinary and deal with it.
There's only one team I've seen that don't seem to learn from that free-kick and/or 50 metre penalty though and I've seen it cost them games in the past.
In fact, I'd say their discipline doesn't appear to have improved one iota since I've been playing against them.

Hi Shanefos, i wasnt trying to bag the umpires i was actually giving them some praise, i thought they were ok but just confused as to why they reversed that decision, i was actually stating that my in ability to hold marks and miss an important goal cost us the game. you say we havent improved our discipline, well i dont agree there, we won every home and away game last year and won the flag, ill discipline will not get those results. we have worked hard this year after losing most of our side from last year and we are now in a position to defend our premiership and i dont think ill discipline will be a factor come finals time. does anyone know what has happened to umpire duncan, he did gf last year and improved heaps during the year, but hasnt been sighted this year in our games anyway, is he umpiring at a higher level or has he dissapeared??

Weren't you going to umpire this year you fat sniping prick? I know for a fact that amongst the umpiring fraternity Yass have far and away the worst reputation for whinging. Last year discipline was kept in control but with the loss of a certain coach the train has started sliding off the rails.
Dj, Duncan is umpiring div 3 that is if you are talking about duncan scott.
As for losing most of your team i count only 6 players from last year that havn't played for you this year i would hardly call that most of your team.
With regard to umpiring i no an umpire who wont do a yass game due to the verbal abuse he directly gets,as for discipline not being a problem in the finals on this i agree with you, simply because you want make the finals.
I think Belco will reverse the result of the last game with there full side available and with no first gamers,then i think that uni will beat you aswell.Which will see uni take 4th spot.

good call mate, im out of this site, you try and post general topics about footy and get insulted by gutless people who are not even talking about footy , maybe they have nothing else to do at bungendore and co. and for your info spoiler yes i was going to umpire but i lost some weight and yass lost lots of players so i decided to stay so if that is so bad then you have a problem, and yes i probably will umpire when i finish playing. as for sniping i have been reported once in this comp in four years and that was for bugger all. to all the people on here who have an idea of footy, it was fun chating and arguing . to all the other teams in the finals race, good luck and as a final comment on this site, so i am not biased, i will delete yass from the scenario and say if we dont make the four, belco will beat anu gungahlin will beat goulburn then goulburn will beat belco ( just) then gungahlin will beat goulburn again. nothing against goulburn and i would like another bush team to win canberra comp, i think gungahlin will beat them. that is if yass dont make it...........
would be nice to see a comment from the spoiler that actually has any merit. just looked at 3 pages of spoilers posts and it looks like he is dirty on everyone and everything. i feel a bit sorry for you mate, must not be satisfied with anything in your life so you have to insult others.

If only ABH had come out to save you. Remember that DJ. Remember when you recruited ABH out to be your full forward saviour. Remember how chummy you two were at the start of the year?

How can belco not having a full side against us be a reason for us beating them, we havent had our best 22 on the paddock all year infact last week was the first time all year that we had a full bench
By the way did you and cab have the same english teacher at school because you both spell the same words wrong

Yass had their chance to beat an undermanned goulburn side and blew it. The Swans seem to be missing out on the respect they deserve for an undefeated side. The top three sides in 4ths as I see it are Swans, Jets and Uni in that order. Swans v Jets GF is my tip.
Jets over Bidgee in the 3rds by about 6 goals and in the 4ths by about 30 goals. Did everyone write off the Jets a bit early for a finals spot in the 3rds, I think so because the are level on points for 4th spot after this round. Is getting very Interesting at the pointy end of the season.

Jets still in with a chance? Somehow. I want to know which Jets player organises the draw, as they have played ADFA once in 2 years and won 12 points off them through forfeits (and the associated cheap percentage boost (99-0 this year)
Woden beat Eastlake by 7 goals or so yesterday. Eastlake were competitive until 3/4 time but gave up in the last term when the finals dream was over.
ADFA beat Belconnen, so three teams are now tied on 36 points.
Gungahlin are on 32.
Belconnen and Eastlake are now gone on 28 points and too far behind on percentage.
Murrumbidgee have Harman and Belconnen
ADFA have Ainslie and ANU
Woden have ANU and Gungahlin
Gungahlin have Eastlake and Woden
All 4 teams can still make it - a cracker of a season, and the Woden vs Gungahlin game at the Windfarm in round 18 could determine who plays finals footy in 09
