Was talking to a guy who knows a bit about the ammos and he thinks 4 or 5 BT guys are playing in Darwin (including Chivers who is not old by the way) who are all expected back. Could be a question mark about the 2006 coach returning from the NTFL though...
News is they have 2 ex-players returning from VFL ranks and some aboriginal players from the NTFL coming down for work and a kick. Also at least one past B&F returning from local $$league. Should be some others who chased coin last few years coming back if my sources are correct - which they are. Need to get Chris Frost back.....
Don't know about Matthews or Williams. Both could stand in the forward 50 all year and be well worth it.
Heard about Ramsden too - don't think he is like his brother but will help an already strong Oggers outfit
My pick for the flag already

Hi all, just having a little read of proceedings with Geeves this morning over a coffee. Nice to see a few old names back posting.
Old Geelong and Rovers to play off for the flag is my early tip.
Not sure about BT conduct? I remember last year there were massive rumours of players coming back mid season and nothing really eventuated. A bit like the boy who cried wolf. Will wait and see for me.
Geeves thinks OGS are a shoe in.
Cheers - DG

Oggers top four, don't know about a shoe-in for premier. Geeves may have been quietly knocking back some of his master's port while tidying up the study!

I agree with you my fine man - OG and Rovers very good chance of being there in the final week.
Also, yes BT promised the same last year but the return of the B&F and the 2 x VFL boys is essentially confirmed. The NTFL recruits ..well I would say lets wait and see...there is a chance their coach won't be back too!
Well i know i had a go at this about a month ago.. but here is mark 2..
Old Geelong
Hampton Rovers
Bulleen Temp
Old Parade
Therry
Oakleigh
Prahran
Old Mentone
Yarra
Peninsula
my wildcard is Therry- if they can stay fit.. who knows what they can do, but with lack of depth they could head the other direction.. anywhere between promotion and relegation. Yarra( i was a bit harsh i know..but all in fun) and Prahran would be in the same boat

good effort Arch. hard to make informed predictions this far out, but for the sake of it here's my go.
Prahran
Hampton Rovers
Bulleen Temp
Old Geelong
Oakleigh
Therry
Old Mentone
Peninsula
Old Parade
Yarra
very hard to place the bottom five. really I think most sides are capable of being strong contenders, it all depends on whether they get the players they're chasing. and at this level 2-3 can make huge differences.
I think we should think about a fresh thread for 2007

Your tipping Parade to drop another section, any reason for this?

Well the fact that Boundy is training at St Bernards won't help their cause. They won 1 from their last 10 and were very, very ordinary. Double drop well and truly on the cards.
can't mark can't kick
Senior List
No reason at all.
I'm quite happy to admit very little informed reasoning went into my projected ladder whatsoever.
But I had heard that Boundy had gone.
not many tipped Banyule for the double last year.... who knows?
like I said so much can happen between now & August and how many of us know what's likely to be happening so far let alone predict what could happen once the season starts?
This isnt in the benny stagger class of games. but if you are looking for something else pointless to use up time try this

Very Dissapointed to see that the Old Mentonians are Tip to finish lower half of the table??
I played there about 2 years ago is Pete Russo still coaching?? Intense bloke but great to have a chat with!! Very professional down there and I enjoyed my time, unfortunatley it was short lived though due to working restrictions back then but I noticed there reserves always seem to do well but there Seniors struggling a bit??
Any news of big name recruits or anything from the Old Mentonians??

Parade are a joke. Poor leadership on and off the field. However if they had every player that has played there that is still playing elsewhere they wouldnt be getting talked about getting relageted from d grade you would be talking about winning A grade flags
Yerba you have a lot to answer for

Isn't it strange how you know our name but you cower and hide behind a web site where your identity remains hidden???.......pretty much the same way you have played most of your football, hiding and cowering while waiting for others to stand up and do the hard work. You un-educated ill informed fool - YERBA does in fact have a great deal to answer for, because you see without YERBA, the OPAFC would in fact be in a worse predicament than they are currently in. So before you go shooting off that mouth of yours get you facts straight, because unlike you, facts do not lie - Its that simple!!!!!!
5 Life Members of the OPAFC
12 B&F Winners of the OPAFC
Combined played over 3,000 games for the OPAFC
State Representatives
Donated hundreds of hours & tens of thousands of dollars
Presidents / Vice Presidents / Committee members / Coaches / runners / trainers - You name it they have done it - Again unlike you they have actually contributed to the club in every single aspect. So shoot your mouth off all you want. It will be these same people who once again help the OPAFC rise from the ashes.
So sit back in your chair and attempt to type some witty come back you spineless individual, as you will do what most do with an IQ of less than 30 and adopt the "Tall Poppy Syndrome" Go on, that's the way, keep knocking those who get up off their butts and go out and and actually achieve something..................And when you are typing away don't forget to stop every now and then so you can reflect and look back on your sorry excuse of a life !!!!!!
F.M.O.Y
