Bias umpiring has been going on ever since the eastern clubs have come in, so whats the difference. Maybe the board should get off there hands and do something about it. I know I wont be holding my breath.:thumbsdown:

The umpriing in the east vs darley game was pretty good on the weekend compared to previous years.

Always helps when your winning though and first to the footy.
 
Not sure how the coach of North City got off... considering he lined the bloke up from about 20 meters away and hit him in the face with an elbow.....interesting.. and the umpiring was actually really good on the weekend in the North vs South game

Gee, thats intelligent. What exactly has upset you from my previous post? Maybe I should spell it out for you. The tribunal usually only believes the umpires evidence no matter what, they insinuate that everybody else giving evidence is a liar, so there is something fishy about Clarke getting off. If you don't understand, get your dad to explain it, if you know who he is. You must be an umpire, that would explain a lot. Corn hole.
 
The Lakers would be gutted about Weymouth getting injured. He certainly looked like a fair player. They certainly looked better than Redan on Sunday, so should be in the mix this year.
Redan's forward line didn't function well at all. Hopefully if Rumble and Murrihy can get back the long bombs won't be so easily dealt with.

Its a bit rough talking about Fish like that- he was a great bloke. Admittedly he had some problems in his social life and made a few silly decisions but he has a good heart. Hutchy is a very good player but i must admit that he does have a weight issue. I work at Rebel sport and i know the girl who served Hutchy last time he was in. She told me that he purchased 38 inch shorts- that isn't right for a Ballarat league on baller.

i can see how she would have served hutchie at rebel when hes wife works at sportzbiz you knob

missing 3 stars. Who would they be champ. As far as I know they had a full side. Not one B.F.L has beaten a G.F.L in the last 3 years. Darley have been trying to claim they beat bell park, but after speaking to my good mates at bell park, it seems that they beat Darley by the tune of 16 goals. As for your comments about east geelong, I believe that to be true. They beat them by only 6 goals, same margin as Darley who played them a few weeks prior. As I'm an avid onlooker and ask many questions they tell me this Antonello bloke could be one of those blokes who could walk but at least he's there at the moment. I'm just a follower anyway of the my beloved cobra's anyway, but I have to say they haven't given me much to sing about in the [past. They still have a long way to go, but they have something they haven't had for a long time................
belief, and some players who actually can play this great game.

Darley did get beaten by Bell Park this year comfortably but in the corresponding game last year the devils beat them.

Who cares anyway. Only praccy matches and no side has their entire list in.

The marsh beat lakers twice last year. Cant see it happening this year though.
 
Tips for round 2 are the following

Ballarat To beat East Point- In a very very close contest i think ballarat should win this game and send a warning to the league that they jst might be ready to take over from redan. East will be very pumped up tho after a dissapointing loss to darley last week. hutchison will need to take charge and dominate the midfield contest along with banwell.

Melton South to Beat Darley- The talked up melton south over pre season will jst get over darley i think in yet again another close contest. They will have to stop the so far in form miller and newman from darley.

Redan to beat Melton- I think redan after a shock loss last w.e will step up a notch with edwars, feild and pitt to take charge and show the BFL that there still the team to beat in 08

Sunbury To beat North City- Sunbury in a thrashing here and to even more silence the arrogance of the north city football club.

Lakers to beat Marsh- Lakers should win here but i think the contest will be closer then first thought. With Lakers having a few big guns out and marsh who are up there first game and will be ready to go could be a close one.
 
I'll have a go...

Ballarat To beat East Point- Comfortably, seem to match up well against them.

Darley to Beat Melton South- Easily match of the round. Predicted South to be a top 2 finisher this year and need to win these type of matches to confirm that. But can't go past Darley after impressive win over quality opposition last week.

Redan to beat Melton- Will be a tough day at the office for the lions, pushed us all day in the first final last year with there young list and redan proved again last week of there shocking starts to seasons. Murrihy to be a key inclusion this week.

Sunbury To beat North City- Easily, Luke Beattie to kick 12

Lakers to beat Marsh- Lakers should account of Bacchus. They were good against us last week and seemed to well led by Battistello. Weymouth a huge loss.
 
Can anyone give an insight into the Sunbury v Melton game? Who played well, what was the standard like and will either side be a threat this year?

From round one you would have to say the following sides will feature in finals:

Redan
Ballarat
Darley
Sunbury
Melton South

with
Melton, lakers and east point to make up the numbers.

Vineyard, you seem to be in the know regarding the darley footy club, heard a rumour this week that some money had gone missing (Approx 10k?) at darley park recently, not sure if it was footy or cricket, if footy that's a lot of coin to recover, do you have any info?.
 
I'm curious to know in what way did the Darley Supporters carry themselves poorly after/during round 1??

haha, that was a classic! good mates with him but sh*t he picked a fight with the wrong person, couldn't open his mouth for a few weeks haha!
look mate the darley boys weren't too bad most of the game, they were passionate, had a strong supporter base at the ground and they were had plenty of voice for the whole game, good on them.
only thing that annoyed me was after the game, they all flooded onto the ground and gave us a big send off, pretty much told us all what great blokes we are and what a great game we played :thumbsu:, i guess if ya win thogh that sorta stuff just rolls off the back, but if ya cop a drubbin, its just salt in the wounds. just don't think it was necessary, fair enough?...

Character of football club/team supporters is best judged by shere they are during the leaner years. Darley has very high fluctuations of supporters attendance, in direct proportion to their player salary bill.
 
That sounds like fairly poor form - the east players cant do a thing and the supporters know that. It's uneccesary and it's just starting/looking for troublw when this stuff occurs.

Im sure all the players that were Good enough to be playing ones that day wouldnt have like the way their supporters carried on.
Remember these guys have to play them again and have a beer with them after the game forever apologising for their 'mates'.
Most players aim to earn the respect of their opposition and this behaviour will continue to hold the Darley Football Club back.

But the guys who play 2's or who arent good enough to play at all always seem to have the biggest mouths.

I think East point players, supporters , coaches etc should stop winging about the darley crowd coz they copped a bit of stick off them.
As far as im concern seeing east play the way they did they deserve a bit of mouth come there way.
 
Good to see east points popularity showing out again. We look forward to welcoming them to Alfredton! Our supporters have long memories.
