C Section Amateur Football

[Richard Clay Torpedoes]

With another 4/5 winner selected, RCT clearly the best tipster in C Section for 06 and the bag finished up just a little ahead this week courtesy of the solid money for the OC's which for poor conversion rate up forward might have got them into the 1st semi...NOBS survived as tipped and Rovers join Paradians in D Section for 07...rumours abound of a player led political coup at David Street which gives you the feeling of 'watch this space' at Moorabbin West housing commisssion flats.....

Heard that the Tigers began 'Operation Sandy' early Sunday morning in a stealth like raid on the site of this weeks target. The Tigers have plenty of ammunition ready to fire, courtesy of some rather 'less than flattering' news paper articles written and read from the last time they played this week's opponents at EP and their burning desire to meet every challenge in 2006.....they will take no prisoners.

Ormond will regain a couple of key components after a good hitout at Brindisi street on Saturday to tackle their good relations Parkdale Vultures on Sunday. If rumours of a Paul Sullivan injury are true this will really hurt the Parky lads and Ormond's form this season would suggest they can progress to week two of the campaign....unless its wet and windy?????

Not much action in the C Section B&F market over the weekend with a number of contenders rested or off the ground early in their games....maybe Keleher from Ormond might sneak a last round vote and bob up at the finish??

CFE, or anyone - can you shed some light on the whipping the Tigers handed out to Ormond 2's on the weekend, and how your boys plan on trying to reverse that result this Saturday?

Bede,

word was that they 6 guys out but are those guys worth about 3 and a half goals each. Ressies finals could be messy

Bede, I wouldn't be worried about the tigers or Ormond twos. The reds are montys given all the inclusions from the seniors this week. I suppose one bonus of so many injuries is that plenty of ressies guys get to play seniors throughout the year. Reds smashed Camberwell twos last time and will do it again. Will win the flag!

I can't say I really subscribe to that theory - Fitzroy 2's side from the weekend seemed to be stacked with a lot of guys who have played Section 2 and 3 Club 18's, plus a couple of "regular" senior players who havn't played enough 2's games to qualify. They will be strong but Tigers clearly the favourites.

Since there was about 6 U/19's playing who can't get a game in the U/19's, I wouldn't read much into last saturday's result. Although it was a nothing game, I thought our guys played disgracefully & showed nothing.

I will say though the Tigers 2's are a very good outfit who run hard. It will be closer this saturday though.

With all due respect , you wouldn't really know who will be in or out this week.
Will win by 50 plus points against Camberwell, who i understand got some more injuries on the weekend.

 

[chicken machine]

Stbedes ressies will be a shoe in for the flag they are by far the best reserves team i've ever played against, the only ones that may go close depending on the weather is camberwell due to their rather large bodies, apart from that its all over like a fat women eating a hot choccy pudding!

 

[lozza5]

Really looking forward to the Jackers/SBMT clash at Sandy. Both know the ground well as each have a wealth of former Sandringham Dragons players who play their home games there. It should be a fystie, tough, ruggered and verble afternoon, and the football should be good too.

 

[ITSMYNAME]

I have spoken to a few St bedes players both reserves and seniors and let me tell you, both teams have never been fired up this much all year, they, like most teams have a dislike for the way ajaz go out things and wiould love nothing more than to put them away and hurt them mentally so the next game they get smashed again....and the 2's well they want meet OC to get back that loss on the mangrove field....

 

[Boutros Boutros Serafini]

Not too many Reds ones players to come back in to the Reds ressies (just the two). However, having rested players from niggling injuries over the past 3-4 weeks, they will have a full list to choose from for the first time in a long while.

The Camberwell game will be a tough first hurdle, but should they meet St Bedes again, it is entirely possible that only 3 players from the line up that lost to them in Round 14 front up again as the Reds side that day was largely a compsite 3s-4s team, just as the side that played Ormond was 3/4 Clubbies and 1/4 regular twos...

 

[THE BEACON]

The Reds have always got excuses at the ready!!

When will the excuses stop and when will they just say that a better team beat them on the day.

 

[Boutros Boutros Serafini]

Every game the Reds twos lost were against the better team on the day - we're not making excuses for the losses, just saying that we look forward to having another crack against the two last teams we lost against with some more of our regulars on the park.

Should we lose on Sunday, I'd have no hesitation in saying that OC were the better team - particularly as I'd expect they'd be close to full strength...

 

[Mappa]

When will the excuses stop and when will they just say that a better team beat them on the day.

Better team on the day, and better team are two different things. It's easy to be the "better team on the day" when you are playing against guys from 3rd and 4th grade, and some pulled out of the nearby pubs. The Reds should be congratulated for even being able field sides on some of those weeks. Wait til the full compliment are out there.

The term "rude shock" comes to mind in regards to this weekend, because a full strength Reds side will one to be reckoned with.

All you have to acknowledge is that the best team won!!

Everything else is a what if.

Some of you Reds dont acknowledge the other teams ability to win, you denigrate their wins by going to list how many outs you have every weekend.

All clubs over the last 6 weeks of a season have their fair share of Ins & outs.

 

[AM]

Heard the Jackers are super confident of making the GF. May not win this week, but don't rate the Monders so they reckon it'll be a St B v Ajax GF.

 

[Richard Clay Torpedoes]

RCT has applied to the VAFA Execuitve for a licence to run a betting stand in the Sandy Social Club this weekend for both days...not sure of what the approval chances are though...could always resort to an SP operation if necessary.

Have been studying the seasons form closely and will 'open' a market tomorrow on all finals games including reserves and some other unusual exotic type bets including:

1.Which non playing club will provide the most beer drinkers in the Sandy Social Club
2. Which of the two senior clubs playing each day, will all other non playing clubs be supporting?
3. Male or Female streaker appearing
4. Which form of transport will be the most widely used by supporters to get to the games?
5. How many supporters and from which clubs will dominate the 'jumped the fence to in to see the game club'

Had some inquiries re C Section B&F betting with the Students from Monash unloading some on their ruckman ' Williams' during the second day of their Mad Monday now Mad Tuesday drinking session and some solid money still coming in for Paul Sullivan from the Vultures who although rumoured to have been injured at the weekend was still named as their best player.
Still no money for the VAFA Ireland Rep player 'Lewski' from the Jackers and punters not willing to take on the short odds on Anstey from the Tigers...maybe the big money will come on Saturday at Sandy?

Have heard of rain Thursday till Sunday. Could make things interesting.

 

[GetSmart]

A few chests being expanded at the moment buts lets be honest. The Tigers team from last week that smashed Ormond in the twos will be better this week! On paper it reads like a senior side.

Some are puffing up the Jackers and Ormond in the seniors but frankly don't you think the Tigers have been tuning up as well. If I was in the Ajax camp I would be holding my breathe as they may not know what hits them! The last time they played it would have been another white wash if they had kicked straight, on the Jackers home ground and a wet track. Sandy will suit the Tigers down to a tee make no mistake.

Interesting Stat. Almost every team that has played the Tigers this year has been smashed in the following weeks. Says something about the intensity of the Tigers and the danger that faces AJAX in the coming weeks.

Week after AJAX played the Tigers second time.
16/07/06 AJAX 13.5-83 V Tigers 12.18-90 18/30 shots
22/07/06 AJAX 13.9-87 V NOB/ST PATS COLL 20.14-134

Last three weeks AJAX have been less than convincing.
32 points Rovers after trailing.
13 points Old Paradians
28 points Camberwell. Camberwell kicked poorly!

Hardly sparkling form!

The forecast says fine Saturday!

Thursday Fine. Min 10 Max 22
Friday Windy. Few showers later. Min 15 Max 22
Saturday Mainly fine. Min 9 Max 17
Sunday Few showers. Min 8 Max 16
Monday Clearing shower or two. Min 8 Max 15
Tuesday Showers. Min 7 Max 15

Two things

1. Any rain should suit the "hard at it" boys from Parkdale. Remember them, the team most posters on here picked to be relegated this year.

2. Could we get another chat room up and running for the reserves finals banter? It really does clutter up space regarding real football. true fans of the game tune into this space and shouldn't be subjected to trivial drivel about brumbies when they wish to talk thouroughbreds.

All the best

RCT Ammos Sportsbet - Finals Betting Market

2nd Semi Finals

Seniors

SBMT $1.30 vs Ajax $1.95 - form analysis reveals several key factors - Tigers have an edge in finals experience and played several finals at Sandy, combined with their scoring ability across the ground and best defence this season will give them the advantage

Reserves

SBMT $1.10 vs Ormond $3.50 - teams will be different to last weeks game but this Tigers team is a very good Reserves team with many players still striving for a senior berth. Ormond will be still shellshocked from last week and up against it.

1st Semi Final

Seniors

Ormond $1.20 vs Parkdale Vultures $2.80 - very different types of game style and on the space at Sandy will suit Ormond. Form between the two teams this years supports the form analysis. Parky have been gallant this year but struggled against the top three teams.

Reserves

Fitzroy Reds $ 1.80 vs Old Camberwell $ 1.65 - the closest betting match of the weekend with form hard to decipher given just who is available for the two teams. Maybe just a slight egde to the OC's with perhaps a younger running team then the Reds whose form has been flattered a bit by who they have played in recent weeks.

By now every club has received their nominated player to attend the C section B&F count next Monday, so come on and let RCT know who is your chosen player and I'll update the betting market...till then I've frozen betting on this one.

I'll have $50 on Ormond Seniors into Fitzroy Reds Reserves!

Seriously though, I have never seen so many pie eaters in one senior team as Parkdale have, surely the big grounds will find them out.

We've smashed them twice, once on our postage stamp & the other on their bigger ground. We will run rings around them.

Bring on the Jackas in the Prelim.

Odds for Tyquinor Anstey to win C section B & F into Tigers to win both premierships and Luke Beveridge coach of the year!!!! The certainty of the year

Plenty of Tigers will pinch votes off each other. Likewise AJAX and Ormond midfielders. You might want to look further down the ladder to get a value smoky. Certainty of the Year is the bloke who reads the final votes out next Monday will be struggling to read the names out after 48 hours on the gas.

As for Coach of the Year, we should wait until the GF has been played.

FWIW - I think it's obvious Beveridge had the cattle from the get-go, whilst MacGeorge/O'Shannessy/Matthews probably moulded their units into better sides than the sum of their individual parts. Will be an interesting decision to make......
