Heard on the week end that at a meeting last week of all clubs that 12 clubs look certainties for 09' , The push from League combined with big effort from clubs is working, already 7 teams in 08' with 3 a little overage to bolster the comp. This will be the savior for clubs that come on board I reckon. Go dogs Colts in 09'

Great news , StKilda City will be definitely have U18's next year, as the u17s are doing well in MSJFL Div 1, also well have U17 and 2 under 16's next year so the future looks very bright

Glad to hear the Colts comp alive and kicking for 2009! With 7 teams in it this year and the induction of a few new teams we should have a reasonable comp for next year. Of this year's teams will all seem likely to do it again next year? Doveton Eagles? Cheltenham x 2 teams or back to 1?
What are the likely NEW teams for 2009? My thoughts would be:
1) Highett 2) St Kilda City 3) St Pauls 4)Skye
5) Maybe a combined Sandown / Lyndale / Dandenong team??
Any other potential teams? Clayton maybe?

Dingley will have a side for next year, they will also have an under 15 side, an under 16 side and a under 17 side. This is great for the southern footy league and will save sides alot of money in the future and should strenghten most teams reserves sides. Go dingoes !!!!!!
I see no reason why Mt Waverley would not retain their side from this year. As for Sth Yarra, I am not so sure. They seem to be struggling with numbers from week to week.

Heatherton will also be trying to get a Colts team up and running next year and in the future.For all clubs who want to progress the Colts has to become a priority not an after thought.
Shocking incidents at the doveton v mt waverley colts game on Saturday morning, with at least 5 fights throughout the game and 2 players hospitalised, 1 with a serious broken neck.
I wonder of doveton's future in the colts competion after the umpires had approached mt waverley coaches asking if they wanted to call the game off?

From SOMEONE who was actually there, The all in started when Mt. Waverly players decided its ok to run in and start fighting after a late marking spoil from 1 of our players. Granted it was too high, but we all cop them in the game. Unfortunatly this went to hospital and seriously injured his neck, But surely by the state of the unplayable ground. The other player who went to hospital, was in a scuffle with 1 of our players and no one around, hurting his shoulder when he wrestled our player to the ground. He called for a stretcher for a bad shoulder???? This was when the umpire was gonna call the game off. Once again the state of the ground, way too hard and should be unplayable. We also had a player injuring himself due to the shocking state of the dirt, I mean ground.
Umpire Johnny... worst umpire in the league and has a confessed dislike to Doveton, was all too quick to wanting to call game off, which I think the seniors suffered with his umpiring bias against us.

LOL at you trying to switch blame!
Doveton player broke a guys neck by grabbing his head in mid air and flinging him down so he landed on his head. (All this happening late)
you fail
Get your hand off it One_Glove !
The incident you speak off was as stated a late spoil as your player was taking an overhead mark that was deemed exactly that and a free kick awarded>
Considering that there was a Senior umpire who was officiating in the colts game that saw the incident and no report was made, the same senior umpire that officiated in the Senior game that day also.
I can understand the emotion in which all at your club are feeling and we wish the player all the best, but don't go making the incident into anything more than as stated.

Yer Johnny was so biased you won the game it don't make sense very puzzling that.
From someone who was within 20mts or so of the incident, if you call coat- hanging a guy while his feet are off the ground an incident
i feel we all need to take a lot more care when applying a physical approch to a contest.Yes their was spite in the game and yes the umpire may have added to the spite.
The talk of him calling the game off came at half time as the game was already starting to heat up with a few spot fires around the ground due to frustration from both teams.
I feel the reason for the umpires comments were that he had to put up with a constent verbal barrage(trying to umpire the game themself) from 2 to 3 Eagles players and also their willingness to .. lets say be over physical at the contest.
I'm sorry if i have gone on a bit but it was sickening to see a young man laying on the ground saying he had a weird feeling at the base of his neck, for what i call a stupid act..
Guys lets enjoy a good hard game of footy. But lets do our best to avoid this sort of thing happening again..

Wake up to yourself scratcha. A bloke gets hit late after taking a mark and ends up in hospital with a serious neck injury, and you're trying to blame the Mt boys that were flying the flag for the fighting that occured during the match.

Wasn't at the match so not necessarily saying this in reference to that particular incident, but I get sick of the blokes that give it out all day long (unfairly that is) and then when they get cleaned up with a fair shepard or bump, they arc up or have a whinge, as if they are on the wrong end of the stick. See it almost every week, friggin whinges. Don't mind if they go hard, perfectly fine, but don't cry about it when it comes back (fairly that is).

Actually he tried getting up to walk off the ground.. but both Mt Waverley AND Doveton trainers told him to stay still and wait for the stretcher.. They didn't want him to move his shoulder in case it was broken..
Also, the scuffle between the Mt Waverley & Doveton player occurred because the Mt Waverley Player told the Doverton player "to stop his bitching" and the Doveton player started throwing punches.
The reason the Doveton player was complaining in the first place, was because he was whinging that he should of been paid the mark even though he got a free kick anyway for a high tackle??
So its OK nowadays to Fly The Flag in footy. Last time I checked Its a reportable offenceWake up to yourself scratcha.

Are you trying to tell me that if a young kid on your team was hit late in a marking contest, who ended up in hospital with a neck injury and will probably never play footy again, you wouldn't do anthing about it. Just get on with the game hey?
Gee i'd hate to go into war with you by my side.
I think the SFL have said enough about the game and the Doveton colts team by suspending them for the year after only 2 games.

You're the one that needs to get his hand off it.
The umpire didn't actually see the incident... he only spoke to the bloke that did it after asking other onlookers who it was.
Doveton Colts are where they belong. On the scrap heap!!
I find that hard to believe as the player that was injured was taking a mark.
Are you telling us all that the umpires don't watch the play when someone is taking a mark ?
Come On Fossy, get a life !!

Only the umpire knows what he saw. However, if he had such a good view of the incident then why did he need to ask the players who did it??
Good Question Fossy,
Maybe that is something Mt Waverley should put to the umpires or better that ask the league ?

News to all concerned Master Of Cooks as this has not been communicated to anyone at the Club or from the League.
Again another unsubstantiated comment with no truth attached that adds no value to the discussion !!
If the umpire saw nothing, why was a free paid????
