Seen Parton run off very quickly after the game, thought he must have had to go to a wedding. Carey i think had 16 fit players left but i'm pretty sure played with 18 till the end. No. 1 Angus i'm sure was off for a fair wack.

Both rupo and carey finished with full sides on the ground, both hard at it most of day. Rupo exposed Carey with run and endeavour early, heard rupo where clearly better early in qtrs,eventually the gang tackling and Parton and co running in from CHF and cleaning up anyone they could make contact with took its toll on the younger rupo side.
Lot of respect for rupo side wasd earnt i hear, Carey physically very big units but could be expossed for fitness or leg speed if matched physically is my mail - thoughts?

Is that so said:
Sound like Rupo put in a good display away from home. If they can maintain there same playing group then they can only improve as they mature. Unfortunately for them it probably means that they are just off the pace this year.
Is That So, I think your summation of OC is pretty much spot on. they are a very good side, and will be hard to beat. They follow a solid game plan, and when they are off the boil they're good players keep them in the game with goals and glimpses of brilliance, until the rest of the team takes up the slack. However there are some other big teams in the hunt, and there are some fit teams getting around. It will be interesting to see how OC go on the wide expanses on Como Park this weekend, especially with OGs starting to put it together by the looks of it.
OM's have proven that they are a better side than they have shown this year and lets hope thay finish the season off strongly.
I think the Thread could be a bit quiet this week with BT, Rupo and Therry going down. Worth it though!

I would imagine that BT would be not overly worried about the loss last weekend. I actually watched the game and thought that OM where a pretty fair team whilst BT (did not deserve to win) probably should have ended up winning by 2-3 goals had they kicked straight at the end. OM have some great on ballers and forwards and have been a real dissapointment this year.
BT have a handful of regulars to come back in over next week or so and willbe fairly keen this weekend against Therry to solidify a top 2 stop.
Re injuries - Williams and Chivers are a bit saw at the moment BUT tell me a key forward that has played every game that isn't.
The next 5 weeks should be great - all signs pointing towards a BT v OC 2004 rematch which would be great for the Bulleen area. Both good progressive clubs that I am sure will be able to cope and succeed in C grade next year - BUt I am sure OG, Rupo and YV may have something to say about that.
I hear Parton busted his hand.. Any trust?
Cheers

Well if a few people are a bit sore after the weekends results, or don't want to give too much away regarding injuries etc, then maybe we should look fwd to the round ahead that on paper looks like a cracker, with no clear easy winners. The second half of the season has turned into a very even comp, which is attributed to some very good teams and good clubs in this years D1.
Match of the round and possibly year to date OC Vs Ogs at Como, also 2 blues, Leos, and Therry have oppurtunties to take some scalps. How do we see it panning out? Will some of the bigger clubs cope with the pressure, what will be the make up of the top 4 at the rounds end?

Agreed - think the Cats will suprise a few.
Well in the absence of DG- Man thought i would have a go at this
from the top
OC - Equal billing with BT, but rumours abound about injuries. Are they true, smokescreens, a bit of both? regardless with Top 3 settled, expect them to rest a few in the next two rounds, and have a look at a few of a very strong 2s side. Seem to have have quietly unearthed the most potent ruck combination in the league.
BT- Until last week would have had exactly the same comment beside BT, now i expect them to go full strength this week to guarantee double chance( which should happen anyway) then maybe hold a few cards against Old Carey. How sore are Chivers and Williams? Will Bains and waters be released for finals? only time will tell.
OGS- Hitting red hot form, but still some fitness doubts beside a few key players. Makin back toughens them up a little. Look for them to attempt to blast OC off the park this week .V-W may be the key
YV - just edged their way into 4th and will be striving to hang onto it. Will be favorites to beat Prahran at Domeney, but only just. Hancock has made a huge difference in second part of the year.
Rupo- Gallant in defeat last week, and with guns returning, but a super tough draw. Can they sneak back into the four at OGS or YV expense? Do not write off yet.
OM- Super hard team to read. They appear to be either brilliant or awful, with guns like Basille and Tewntyman able to turn a game.
Therry- Finishing strongly after a lot of injury problems. Have skill and class, and can match top sides with physicality
Leos- Like OM , have shown glimpses of brilliance,punctuated by indefferent form. are not yet out of the relegation battle with Prahran building. will have to hope Ballard injury is not serious.Rd 17 is a key
Prahran- Here come the two blues. Bevan back, Scicluna back. Playing with passion. Is it too little too late? Maybe the rd 17 battle with Leos will decide both clubs' fate.Maybe they should fly McCudden back from whatever beach he is sunning on.
Banyule- A miserable season appears over, with a double drop looming, however there is a lot of talent and pride at the Bears, so excpect them to fight hard. If they do drop, with plenty of young talent, they will bounce back.

BT will drop games to Rupo and OC, with OG coming home with a wet sail and superior percentage giving them the double chance.

Massive post angel - DG would be proud.
On upcoming rounds, Therry would be confident of an upset but i can tell you that BT will bounce back and bounce back hard to secure that double chance.
Interesting to see a few writing them off after a 3 point loss at Mentone, it is hard to win out there, ad missing a few easy shots late cost them, another five minutes and the result would have been reversed. Only away loss for the year is not a bad effort.
Talk about injuries, is just everyone going fishing for some nibbles?
Williams has been sore for three years but nothing more than usual, Chivers is a little tight in the hammy but no more than any other player out there. There cannot be any player playing at this time of the year who doesn't have some sort of niggle or going out to play at 100%. Just sore bodies after a long year, players will use the last couple of rounds to freshen up i am sure so expect a couple of upsets.
The top four will stay as is, some of the boys down at rupo are already talkin about winning D1 next year so they seem to have given up.
BT will beat OC in the second semi, OG will beat YV in 1st semi, OC will beat OG in prelim, then BT by a point in the GF!

Great post by Archangel... I would have to agree that OG are up and running. Their form has been fairly inconsistent over the year, but their best is extremely good - perhaps better than OC or BT. Don't think that we can read too much into the injury side of things - as has been said, most play with some sort of niggle at this time of year.
Interesting result out at OM. OM another team with up and down form all year. THey seemed a little bit unfit when I saw them against rupo, and did not run the game out. BT are allowed a lapse at this time of year - still a very good team - but things have certainly got interesting.
OC and BT should be the favourites - given their form over the entire year - but OG may be coming good at the right time. THen it comes to YV and rupo. I think that the big grounds and dry days of the finals will not suit YV if they make it (sorry toohas). Rupo on the other hand, given the right conditions (dry big ground), could make an impact. But this is all speculation and 3 rounds still to go.

Saw our boys take on current flag favs Old Carey on the weekend and was impressed by the OC and our own young side. Rupo were on top early and the young run really did trouble OC in these stages, either the second or third quarter was our downfall (pretty sure it was the third) with OC kicking 5 or 6 goals in a row. Was very impressed to see our young guys match it with Carey in the physical stakes. They were massive. The two or three biggest ruckmen I have ever seen. I think the key to beating OC is to run hard early and make the most of scoring opportunities. They are a side that can score very very quickly so it wouldn't be unrealistic to see them reel in a 5 or 6 goal deficet. BT (from the game earlier in the year) are quite similar.
This week Emmaus journey out Sunbury way in what is a must win game. I think we have the fire power to do it. Just need that little bit of belief and we should get over the line.
Cheers all.

Archangel,
Great post indeed. Far from tipping the obvious results based on ladder position, as our friend the Qwill tends to do, you've pulled out some unconventional but very legitimate tips.
It's a big call to tip Banyule over OMs, but OMs do travel very poorly and Banyule have a lot more to play. By all accounts Banyule were fairly ordinary on the weekend though. I don't know if I'd tip Banyule, but I think it will be a very close game.
I would definitely tip OGs for the reasons you have mentioned- more to play for; better record at Como, which provides them with a lot of space to work in. Casboult and O'Brien seem to be in stella form. Anyone have any more specifics on VW's condition? Someone said he's "not right (physically)"?
You seem pretty confident that Prahran will get up both on the weekend and in the ultimate relegation battle with Banyule and Leos. I actually saw the end of the magooes match for Prahran a few weeks ago and they seemed to have some good players who stood out and looked like they could be strong contributors in the seniors- Marriott; Wilson and Jones I think. Walford looked good in the seniors as an attacking CHB.
I agree also that Rupo's running game should get them over the line out at their ground. Does anyone know if it is going to be wet? Ugly?! I reckon that Leos might be too big and strong if it is wet, especially with the Le Clercs and Ballard (if he is fit). By the way, any word on Ballard's leg injury? Buckle seems to have found form after his long stint out due to suspension, and Baranello has hit some form too.

Fantastic stuff Archangel. I had to log on just to applaud the fine effort and detail you have gone into. From what i've seen this year in D1 i believe Old Carey are going to be tuff to beat when the real stuff kicks off in September if they can shake the physcological edge that Bulleen Temp seem to have over them
Hey Silky,
You seem to know a bit about BT. I've noticed your reserves have won 4 or 5 on the trot and knocked of OM on the weekend. The rumour mill has it that some very handy senior players are running around. Is this true?
Maybe a late charge for the finals but we'll put an end to that in the coming weeks.

Stellar post Archangel, have to say that i agree with most of what you have to say. One question to all D1 fans out there, is there a possibility that the top 3 teams are faultering ever so slightly leading into one of the closest finals campaigns in D1 for many a year? BT went down to middle of the road Mentone (who were good on the day), OC merely got over the line against a Rupo side that is way down on confidence, with a young team who's bodies may be a bit tired. (not saying Rupo can't make the 4 though) and OC were at home (6 goal better side there), & OGS faultered 3 weeks ago, and despite looking good now it may be a sign. The only side that keeps coming is YV, are they the real deal??? I don't think so, I'm with Archangel, OGS could steal the flag on the bigger grounds, but something to think about.
A lot to be taken out of this weeks results. It will give us an indicator of which teams may be peaking at the right time. Maybe it will come down to coaching?
Any news on VW or Parton yet re: injuries etc?
