C Section Amateur Football

[brian speaking]

No one is getting excited, parkdale were picked by many to finish near the bottom so I guess it is a good win against AJAX which many had as a top 4 side.
To win by 7 kicking only 12 shows a good defence, ever thought the ajax players played as well as they were allowed to.
Gee, give some credit mate, did one of the Parkdale players do your girlfriend or something.
As for 17 old Collins kicking 4 from the boundary sounds like a good team player, hasn't he heard of kicking to the top of the square from a tight angle.

Great wins by The Reds, Monash and The Vultures. Could Monash be the sleeping giants? Lets hope that that they all keep it up for the season. Best for Parkdale P Sullivan and Mac George. I also have it on good authority from one D Goodchild that Collins is in fact 19 years old.

 

[GetSmart]

Monash could well be the sleeping giant and suprise a few teams this year and also the two teams from D Grade look like they will handle themselves very well this year with impressive wins. As for Collins he has to be 17 as he is playing in our under 17's on sundays so i cant see why a 19 year would be playing under 17's.

He is 17, he goes to Haileybury College.

Sorry Brian, but the reds will win more than that. Will give Parade a pumping first up and go airborne from there. Richard Taylor has retired( I think!) and they have lost too many to be a force. Need more than three good players Why so negative on the reds? Both their sides will feature in finals.

Not a bad prediction to start with ?? Reds to fire and Camberwell no good!

 

[chicken machine]

has been an interesting start to the season. With a couple of big wins i guess all the goss about mentones recruting campaign must be to some extent quite true with their massive win on saturday.

Anyone go to any games that can give a review, I live in QLD so can not get to any myself.
Looks like a interesting season, Hope its not a one horse race, at least with all the hype every team that plays St Bedes should be up for it.
Don't think many teams go through C grade undefeated.

Be afraid C Section, be very Afraid - Reds smashed last years Preliminary Finalist by 10 goals. Bring on b grade

Having seen a half of the Reds and a qtr of ST.B's on Sat I wouldn't be getting carried away! Parade where a 5-6 goal worse team than last year and Hampton's team was nearly the worst I've seen in C grade over the past 5 years, so to lose by only 15 goals wasn't bad. Word is that Monash where excellent - still managed to win easily enough with Loats kicking 7...

 

[overtheline]

ok guys, round one...what do you think?

Parkdale v Ajax,,Ajax by plenty for mine, even at parkdale

Reds v Parade. Reds by even more

Monash v Camberwell.. Monash in a tight one

St bedes v Hampton.. Bedas easily

Nobs V Ormond.. Ormond comfortably

Guys round two beckons. four from five not bad, with Ajax letting me down. The retirement of Julian certainly doesn't help and they did have more scoring shots than Parkdale, so it wasn't as bad as it appeared. Gerry Green is never a happy hunting ground for them, so don't read too much into it.

Predictions: Ajax v Reds (ep) Reds...but expect a very different Ajax at elsternwick and it will be much closer than many expect

Ormond v Monash-good wins for both first up but fancy Monash, even at the Gunn.50/50 game though

Camberwell v Parkdale. The dales by plenty over the hapless wellers, who from all reports, are very ordinary.

Rovers v nobs Interesting one but hampton just at home. Both clubs struggling

Parade v St bedes..Bedas but Parade will be very, very competitive at home. Different side completely at Garvey

rovers v nobs - hampton at home

Parade v St Bedes - tigers in a tough one. Parade will be very keen

REDS, Ajaxs to hopefully improve but dont think they will repeat pre-season result.
ORMOND
VULTURES, although had some bad loses away last season.
HAMPTON
STBEDES, again didnt travel well away from their dug heap.

 

[Mobbs]

Ajax V Reds - Reds, not brimming with arrogance here but Reds looked a capable outfit last week
Ormond V Monash - Ormond
C'well V Parkdale - Parkdale
Hampton V NOBs - NOBs
Parade V St Bedes - St Bedes

 

[ITSMYNAME]

reds vs ajax, reds easily
ormond vs monash, i'm going monash for the win at the gunn
parkdale vs camberwell, parkdale, cos camberwell arent well at all
hampton vs nobs, nobs in a close one
parade vs st bedes, tough road trip, but still tigers for mine

 

[oc37]

Dont underestimate the Wells. They were jumped last week, with a virtually new side .They have several key players to return like Matty Whitehead. They will get stronger each week, and have a lot of very capable talls.
Reds will go close to the flag with the tigers and Ormond will make top four. it is then a lottery.

 

[CFE]

Nice tight 1 point win to the 'Monds over an impressive Monash yesterday. We did our best to lose it after having most of the ball the afternoon but not putting it on the board.

Called in to EP today to see some of the Ajax/Reds game. Ajax in a canter by about 8 goals. A very different looking Reds team to the one that flogged us in the D1 GF last year. Not sure if injuries played any part but with 4 snr teams that shouldn't really matter you would think.

Ok, on the face of it one from five doesn't look great. I did warn, however, that Ajax would be very competitve at elsternwick and that the Ormond game would be 50/50.
Can't believe the Parkdale result? What is going on there? The Ajax result ( in both grades!) might just quieten down some of the Reds people who have been going a bit over the top.( although I still think they will play off!)

 

[baxter]

Went out and watched a bit of the Wells Vs Parky game. Loats on fire, impossible to stop and got top delivery. Parky looked flat and struggled, but still could have won. Only 14 ponits the difference in the last quarter. Then Wells ran away

 

[scroda]

Went out to the jackas and reds game yesterday.

Except for the first 5 minutes of the game and a four goal purple patch in the last quarter, the Reds were completely outplayed. Ajax should have won by well more than the six goal margin.

The problem for the jackas this year was always going to be the loss of Kirzner and this looked really bad in round one. But, what most of you don't know is that ajax's other two tall forwards were late withdrawals in round one. So whilst a midfield of lewski, ritterman, janover, routman, vanaken et al easily held their own, nothing went right in the forward line and the scoreline of 3.17 tipified this.

Round 2 was very different with Rapaport back and the young (and big) Bloom providing a focal point kicking 3 goals and pulling down a few big marks.

Israelsohn and captain Gold look the goods in the back half and when that jackas midfield gets going, they will be hard to beat. Again consistency seems like being Ajax's biggest enemy.

As for the Reds, I can't say I was too impressed. They looked very slow and had trouble hitting targets. Ajax played dry weather football and completely out-ran the opposition.

 

[Red Roy]

a shocker from the Reds. worst performance in two years. won't happen again. Any reports from teh St Bedes Parade Game? Looks like the tigers had plenty of scoring shots. Parade are battling, have had a tough draw though.

 

[Scribe]

Sadly, after getting rather excited upstairs at the pre-match luncheon, with Peter Hille telling me tales of Redders' glory, and being surrounded by some true Ajax legends, the Jackas really put paid to the contest within the first 20 minutes of the day.

Given how much rain had been falling prior to the game, the skill level of the Jackas in the wet was simply awesome. I was very impressed with Bloom, both Janke boys, Routman, Israelshon, Gold and the obligatory Ritterman. With Rosen to return soon, things are looking up for Ajax. All they need is consistency in their output and they'll be thereabouts for sure.

I trust the Redders brains' trust will consign that one to the memory bank ASAP. Whilst Burgs' quarter time address was well measured, with just enough punch at the tail end, his charges only rallied for 10 or so minutes before the Jackas resumed control of the corridor. It was simply a case of playing out time after that.

 

[Richard Clay Torpedoes]

Reports from Garvey suggested a workmanlike effort from the Tigers..Parade flooded extensively early in the game in an attempt to stifle the Tigers...any win at Garvey is a good one and Parade will improve as the season continues...don't read too much into all the 'hype' previously documented about the Tigers as much of it has been generated by shall we say ' neighbours' with too much time on their hands...take it from someone who is involved that we are working hard both on and off the field to reverse the results of last year and with such efforts the results will take care of them selves

 

[Supa Frank]

Word is the Parkdale boys were pretty disappointed about Saturdays loss. At one end Loats on fire and at the other, Old Man MacGeorge kickless!!!!

Good effort if they kept macca kickless. I know he will be the focus for most teams when they play Parkdale. Can't see them kicking a winning score if he doesn't bag a few - 5 in round 1 - they win. 0 in round 2 - they lose.

 

[Alphonse]

Congrats to NOBSPC for their first win. Never easy to take points from the coastal clubs at home. From all reports the team is starting to take shape under Tim Killworth and more wins are on the way.

Kudos also to bigfooty's Cameo King, the veteran nobs reserves CHF kicked 5 and was sent off.

Also pleasing was the Reds loss. There is a hint of OEG in B Grade about the Reds in C section, I think the reds have reached their ceiling for now. Looking forward to the rednob cup which is only a few weeks away.
