Or is it Ross Fastuca from Geelong West St Peters sports club who are in the GFL??
I was at the game as well, and it is definately Ross Fastuca, from Geelong West. However I did see Jason in action for Werribee Centrals in a praccy vs OW last week. Hes not what he once was, but he still gets heaps of it.
The Giarusso talked about is Dean Giarusso and he has played mostly in Werribee Centrals twos for the past couple fo year. The kid can kick a goal though.

G'day Akka - have you guys sobered up yet?
Will be good to have another yak throughout this season - will be interesting to see how the two sides from D3 last year adopt moving up a grade?
Cheers, Chump.

The last 17 pages are on werribee so im sure someone has seen them train!
Ok then knackers, why don't we change the subject. What are people thoughts on the goalkicking and league b&f results this year. Anyone got some early predictions?

Nothing against werribee by all means wit my comments as well. There obviously the team to beat. One question on Werribee actually, a few years back they had a gun ruckman Schembri? i know he did his knee, is he still around? he was a gun!
League B&F;
Dan Madden (Therry)
Cam Armstrong (StMarys/Salesian)
Goal Kicking;
J.Horsborough (OW) if he plays fwd all year.
James Robertson (Bentleigh)
dan madden not playing this year due to knee reco last year!

After last years result I would think that James Robertson would be favourite again. The chap (whose name escapes me) from Sth Districts was the only one who was close.

TT your a tool. From past experience,umpires look at the same players one year to next as they have their favorites as they talk to each other. Very hard for some good players to get votes as umpires don't know who they are. As a regular at vote count night there are some very strange votes given, e.g. player gets 3 votes and played 1 quarter for losing side.
Have to agree with your picks.

Goalkicking - Akif Jeka (OW). Has been burning on the track.
B&F - Grant Connors (OW) - Big last quarters get you votes.

Agree that Werribee will be the clear standouts during the home and away season. Well drilled, young and fast they will have some big wins, particularly at home, this season.
In saying that though, they are the hghest graded team never to win a senior flag and when the going gets tough these guys have a habit of taking the gas. Can they break the drought this year? I don't think so.
Watch out D2, here come O W. Talking themselves up again! Will flood this forum.
Anyhow, they don't kick to Jeka, happier to be haveing a shot, over his head. Fact.
Don't worry about OW - they will do very, very well.
Jeka will get his fair share of shots at it, but I don't feel he will top the goal kickers. Horsbourgh more likely from this line up, with Hutton a very good forward also.
The big thing about OW is they don't rely on just one or two..........watch out D2!!

Gee, talking up a ex WRFL Division 1 reserves player formerly from Spotty. If he wins the goalkicking the standard of footy would have to be terrible.
Is Fab Gatti still coaching Westbourne??? Could be interesting when they play Werribee as he didn't leave Werribee on good terms after coaching the 19's and then not getting the senior job the following year.
Could be interesting.......................

Senior List
The team OW took down to Ocean Grove yesterday i guess would have more accurately represented a combination of half reserves & half seniors side.
I didn't actually make it down to watch the game so i can't really comment on how good a standard the game was or if it was a flogging, but I called one of the boys last night to see how they fared he reckons they got rolled by about 6-7 goals, wasn't 100% sure because they didn't use the scoreboard.
There were approx 10 of last years seniors players that were either unavailable of resting some niggling injuries some of which were pretty handy players - arguably their 4 key forwards, Jeka, Horsburgh, Hutton & Collins, arguably their 3 best backmen Hunter, Lever & Balloch, plus midfielder Paul 'CK' Chalmers to name a few. I think that if a few more of these fella's were able to play the score might have been a little closer.
In saying that though i'm sure that Ocean Grove have had quite a few in the same boat, unavailable/injured, but the boys that played will be better for the hitout.
