Any news on how it all happened ROOTA#6?

Just reading in paper about it:

Recovering in Hospital last night from a fractured neck he suffered backing courageously into a pack.

Operated on neck yesterday to fuse his neck back together.

12 weeks out of football. No long term damage or anything. Good Result considering

Mate you are not on this plannet.. Simon roberts.. a 6 foot 3 quick player, highly regarded in darwin, (Key position player in back to back flags) coach of a cmfl side (That performed very well for the players they had) would only be just a player in wakools team... you do realise that other people read these posts.....
Kelvin 69 for a keen a knowlegable supporter, you have seen Clinton Brooks play, How do you rate him..???
For a man that has had a few tussles with ash connick and come out on top on occasions I would rate him as a bloody good footballer.
And then we can start looking at the next level of players..

I am talking about the form both these guys have displayed this yr.
Serviceable but not dominant performances.
I am not one to compare leagues, but having played in both the difference in standard is very overexaggerated. If your any good you'll get plenty of it in either league

 

[September]

Im confused? Is this the GRFL thread or the CMFL thread? Wakool aren't as crash hot as everyone thinks they are -- have some great finishers but pretty soft at the ball -- don't like playing Hay.

I would have Matt Graham almost at 1 in their list too...would be right up there in the league medal. Great ruckman and handy forward. Harvey hates the hard ball -- built like Sticks Benham -- but can finish. Not really suited to GRFL style of footy...would be a better player in CMFL with cleaner delivery...

Harvey not suited to GRFL footy? Well he's making a pretty good fist of it, have a look at his stats thus far, i think he's taken quite a liking

 

[footy02]

good points telstra.. not to mention the fitness level.. woora much to strong... I have seen wakool play also, and if Ash Connick was not in their top 2 or 3 or would put my life savings (Two bit of sweet f a) on wakool to win flag by 5 goals....

oh and spent a few days with lewis.. just to let every know. he had surgery to fuse things back together... all went well. recoverying in hospital. wil by home by saturday... Spent a few hours with pa wall, he wil play finals at sea lake..... things not as bad a first thought...

think the 12 weeks is going to more like retirement..... but if anyone could come back next year it would be that man.. but i doubt it.. family to important

Hey glove can you name 1 minor league competing in the VCFL Country Championships? No thats right only major leagues compete. Just like CMFL, so get off your high horse.

Well that all depends Kelvin on whether or not I use common sense or use the VCFL grading guidelines. In my opinion i don't believe the North Central/Mallee and Western Border are major leagues in terms of football standard. From 2001-2003 CMFL played in 3 consecutive Div 2 finals and had chance to go up to Div 1 but were beaten by major leagues Bendigo & Ballarat x2. Since then our performance at interleague level has dropped and so has standard of league dramatically. We would all like to see the standard of footy around here lift again and this would coinside with better performances at interleague level, but something has to happen with the way the league is run or we will never compete with the other leagues on & off the field.
By the way i'm not on a high horse, i cant get on them. I haven't any legs and i'm dead serious.

THink that it is mainly because for those years you mentioned that cmfl went okay.. was because even though it was not compulsory, the player that played were stil of reasonable standard with in the league...

good points telstra.. not to mention the fitness level.. woora much to strong... I have seen wakool play also, and if Ash Connick was not in their top 2 or 3 or would put my life savings (Two bit of sweet f a) on wakool to win flag by 5 goals....

Are the rumours true that the tough old bugger wanted to get back up after the incident. Actually screamed at Pa to pick him up?

I would believe them even if they weren't. Great player and good to hear he is ok. Sea Lake is now stuffed though.

Woora would win easy. You blokes in the minor league, I forget its name, are kidding yourself.

 

[champ]

so i am footy you would be able to back me up in saying that wakool would not beat woora.. i have played at woora, seen them played this yr, and also played against wakool, and i just cant see them beating any side in the cmfl. the style of footy is too different. eg. quamby almost beat wakool, had them stuffed till 10 minutes to go. i cant see anyone being able to stop kerr, robertson, alderuccio and teirney, then woora have height, not as much as other cmfl sides., but plenty for grfl- brooks, roberts, beasy, kerr, pearce, prympke, russo. then you add in crow, mudge, siciliano, coburn, grant, bolton for small blokes, sorry woora would be too good.

Are they all short people in the GRFL

 

[Action Jackson]

Leigh Coleman. You must have had your eyes closed idiot, because i wasn't attacking the ball nor was Leigh. There was a ball up the ball spilled to one side of the pack opposite to where we were, lalbert player over the ball, me sheperding my team mate Leigh trying to get past, whack, broken jaw. Nothing more than a weak as **** action mate. If someone wants to belt a bloke. Face them and do it

For someone who had to be helped off by the trainers you have a very good memory of this incident roota. Also if you are such a tough guy who can say Drew Arentz was hiding from no nuts plant then why not trying a bit of square up with coleman and back up a few of these comments (face them and do it) seems to me if you got king hit then you would have every right to square up. I am positive lalbert wouldn't miss you too much if you got suspended. Or as I am one hundred per cent sure would happen, got the living heck punched out of you

Well if it was Leigh Coleman then why was Troy Hosking the one Lalbert were going for in the investigation?

You must be Lieutenant Dan from Forrest Gump.

You must be Lieutenant Dan from Forrest Gump.

Could be, you just never know! As i have said its my opinion and I'm sure there are people out there of similar opinion. I don't get on and give it to you when you have an opinion. When the league improves i will stick up for it a bit more.

 

[cellar_dweller]

Well if it was Leigh Coleman then why was Troy Hosking the one Lalbert were going for in the investigation?

There seems to be a lot of ill feeling towards Labert in the CMFL.
After watching the game on saturday I cant say I blame them .After the king hit from behind on the Tooleybuc Manang player(it was from behind and a big one) the behaviour from the labert bench was terrible. They cheered and yelled abuse at an injured player as he was being escorted from the ground(who was clearly in trouble and could not defend himself ).How **** weak is that. The good supporters of the Labert footballclub do not deserve that sort of behavior and must be terribly embaressed by it . I was told the coach was a radio commentator last year for the local radio station .What a role model he is for the young kids in a small country community.Country football is struggling enough without unsportsman like behaviour like that Hows the investigation going.Maybe those officals should be getting investigated sa well.PS I have seen troy play a lot of very good football and a King hitter he is not. He is a tough and brave footballer who only Knows to well of the tragic circumstances on the football ground

Your well entitled to your opinion mate. I'm not having a go at you.

well said there jackson.... luke would never be seen near a fight because he is the biggest pussy going round.... he talks it up but he is the one always hiding under the coaches bench calling for mummy

Roota, is seems that there are a few creases in you story that need to be ironed out. was it coleman or hosking that hit you, as Kelvin said, if the league was trying to investigate hosking then he was the one that hit you. was he not. beta get your story straight mate before accusing genuine players of being dead **** king hitters!!

 

[Guus Hiddink]

Well said.

Let's be honest boys, they both get what they deserve on the footy field. There are always two sides to a story, so stop p i s s i n g in your own teammates pockets and talk about something decent.

Especially you ROOTA. You don't see Darcy on the computer, probably cause he doesn't know how to turn it on, but that's not the issue.

 

[THE_BEAST]

so i am footy you would be able to back me up in saying that wakool would not beat woora.. i have played at woora, seen them played this yr, and also played against wakool, and i just cant see them beating any side in the cmfl. the style of footy is too different. eg. quamby almost beat wakool, had them stuffed till 10 minutes to go. i cant see anyone being able to stop kerr, robertson, alderuccio and teirney, then woora have height, not as much as other cmfl sides., but plenty for grfl- brooks, roberts, beasy, kerr, pearce, prympke, russo. then you add in crow, mudge, siciliano, coburn, grant, bolton for small blokes, sorry woora would be too good.

some of the players you have mentioned there eg crow and mudge would only be averge-middle range players in the grfl as they are in the cmfl so lets not go over the top sorry pal wakool would beat woora

 

[Go Cohuna]

some of the players you have mentioned there eg crow and mudge would only be averge-middle range players in the grfl as they are in the cmfl so lets not go over the top sorry pal wakool would beat woora

Cmon people i think where rating these two teams a litlle bit too highly like wakool play in the golden rivers and anyone in the cmfl could probably beat them and i also think that we are rating woorinen too high too because they have some good players but obviously don't use them well enough

 

[Go Cohuna]

some of the players you have mentioned there eg crow and mudge would only be averge-middle range players in the grfl as they are in the cmfl so lets not go over the top sorry pal wakool would beat woora

Geez leitchy gunny have improved this year any thoughts?

True.. starting to talk a little sense cohuna.. but the point we are making is that woora would beet em.. with easily.. to strong.. to much depth..... to much... fitness...
and dockers i realise that. was saying that he would be in the top 2 or 3 if not 1.. depending on serious he took it...

AND FINALLY
take note and see if Jarrod (I look like a four and twenty pie) Arentz kicks kicks a bag this week and fails to get a b.o.g.

 

[left foot long]

Geez leitchy gunny have improved this year any thoughts?

yeah instead of kicking 6 goals a game and losing now they kick 8 and lose, but dont give up on them, they are going places,like back to echuca

 

[footy02]

Not quite that tough.. couldnt feel his legs for a little bit so he knew he had done some dammage. so i told no one to touch him.. very lucky he had some good trainers there.. very well done by the trainers.... does any one think that the wakool president woudl put 10k on the line winner take all............
