Didn't see Mischa Barton today, however the boys had a real crack. I think we earnt respect today, both sides would have come off very sore knowing they have played a game of football. Carey definitely has class all over, we were competitive all the way in spite on the scoreboard a 5 goal to nil 3rd quarter.
Votes
3: S Collins (OC) has a bit of freak about this boy
2: D. Collins (R) possibly the best first quarter played in the history of D1 2006
1: (17) OC not sure who he is , but up the forward line is as dangerous as our boys would have been if Mischa turned up.
All results went against us this week, if we can come up with an injury free 3 weeks we might shock a few, however this never seems to be the case.
Those who would like to know i thought Dolly was pretty good, he has a knack of doing some real critical efforts, a great leader who would be welcome at Rupo anytime.
 
Coin has been a word used regularly on this thread, a couple of Carey boys chased coin playing cricket in the UK. If they had girlfriends or wives who could work at the canteen they possibly might not have needed to go overseas. It seems it pays well!!!!
 
Yarra switched off for a quarter against a very tough and committed St. Leo's and it nearly cost us dearly. A huge effort in the final quarter just got us over the line. Ash Drew was best on for Yarra and I think Krebs was St. Leo's best. LeClerc is a big target for the Animals up forward and I think he'll cause a few headches for opposition teams in the run home.

No-one comes back from the UK with more coin than what they arrived with.
 
Big upset out at mentone yesterday. The OMs played really well. They match up against BT better than any other side.
Costello was the matchwinner, no doubt about it, BT had there chances and another five minutes would have won it,but all credit to OMs.
It might not be a bad thing for BT- it was the lose they may have needed to get them back on track. 8 wins in a row now they can start again. the big fella for OMs played a great game also, Flaxias or something like that,

Brings the boys back to earth.

Ballard was good, he went down with an injury to his leg in the third quarter though. Buckle was ok, he started on a half back flank. They kicked six goals to nothing in the third quarter and he had two of them (I think) and plenty of clearances while playing on the ball. I thought Baranello (#1) had a pretty good battle with Robbie Drew and LeClerc is just a massive unit who can take a grab for them up forward. McCann (#12?) was good too. It would have been a great game for the spectators, good hard contest, between two teams who had a lot to play for.
 
Didnt get to any games on the weekend as i have a nasty dose of the flu, but have received a few emails. Rumours aplenty that there are injury worries at each of the top three sides. Apparently OC finished their game with only 15 fit men and players in hospital, and OGs suffered badly too. Any truth to this? Who was injured and how badly?

Previous post (Archangel17) suggests there were some injuries to top 3 sides - Any injuries to come out of the OM game Bullant?

Don't think it was as big an upset as you may have thought..BT has an amazing ability to get itself up for the big games (see dominant displays against OC, OG & YV) but struggles against lower sides (see struggling wins against Banyaule, St Leos, Prahran and the 2 x OM losses).

So many experienced heads, I get the impression they do what they have to do - nothing more and nothing less - against lower sides and switch on for Friday night football (ie the big games).
 
Is that so said:
Interesting thoughts around the ground, agree that 1 or 2 coming up can adjust and contribute given time, probably more difficult for U19s IMO, not sure about the starting on the ground theory though (unless there are numerous exclusions from the ones due to injury).

Next 4 weeks will determine a fair bit about depth IMO those teams that elevate 1 or 2 to have a look will be better prepared come finals than those who are guessing on the eve of a final due to a late out , injury etc.quote]


Agree with everyone that there is a large jump between reserves and seniors. Agree with everyone that you may not want to make too many changes to a settled senior side too close to finals...

However, it is a slightly different scenario bringing in one or two proven senior players for finals (providing they get some good games under their belts) than trying out a couple of under 19 kids at this time...that you just would not do.

I know I am biased coz I know him, but seriously BT people, make sure tattoo boy gets some game time in the twos and bring him straight into the 1s for finals. Word.

Mentone had a couple back from Sandringham the ruckman and Bassile up forward who both played good games. No injuries from the bullant side, just a wake up call and i think this loss may do us some good! Still 3 or 4 short of our finals side which should return over next couple of weeks. Well done to Mentone, they seem to get themselves up against us.
 
Conduct Unbecoming,

With the BT seniors loss on the weekend, do you think Easto might make a few changes for this week? Possibly calling on a few of the veterans currently running around in the reserves?
 
No there will be no significant changes only a couple of younger players who have been playing all year may come back, i cant see any older players coming into the team. However you never no. The bullants will bounce back this week against therry.:thumbsu:

Hey Silky - I am not in the 'know' down at the Bullants, so I really would not have much of an idea. Its a bit hard to say, not sure how the twos went. MJS2 probably hit it on the head as he would know form/injuries etc.
 
Ok no info coming through. I will be more specific. I have no doubt that several of the emails i got were S&*(e however they stated exactly

OG VW playing but no good physically( no specifics here) and that 2-3 others picked up injuries on the weekend.

OC lost as many as 6 key players, =no bench after half time, and only had 16 for most of the last quarter , and that 2-3 players including Parton(hand) were in hospital.

BT Chivers is carrying a groin injury and if finals werent beckoning would be sitting out the season, and that Williams did something to his knee( not serious but restrictive)



I repeat that i didnt get to any games as i was sick and these are all second or third hand, but surely someone can help me sort the wheat from the chaff
