Just ask Old Worriers today. A.Mahony B.Mahony C.Mahony.... they collectively beat the Worriers today. First one, then the other.Crowd Craig and Brian will beat you! The Worriers were shown up as a one dimensional side today. Question on their game. Tough conditions....soft side! Pretty boy football does not work on an ugly day. September football is different and providing they make it, the worriers might make good use of their style of football but first...you've got to make it!
Be careful not to judge OW on the side that was playing on Saturday. Lots of key outs that meant they were below full strength.
Was that a full strength Elsternwick? Cos OW were missing at least 7 senior players and you only won by 2 goals????
Not it wasn't Berzerk, and somehow I get the feeling that your club knows that. Elsternwick has a long injury list at present - that'swell known.
Besides, I think that you had better have a yarn to your mate Tibia, who has been recently quiet I have noticed. Here's something from him from 21/04/06:
"Mate, this is exactly what I am talking about. Every team has injuries, and it is just that we hear more about them from the Wickers than anyone else. All these comments are to me are excuses, nothing more. Thanks for justifying my point."
Personally, I would make sure you kept your pseudonym to yourself there Berzerko. Old Tibs may have a bone to pick with you.
That's three from four you've dropped to them. Maybe you will have to accept that this team may be as good, if not better, than OW? I'll have to, as I didn't even have Elsternwick in my GF quinella.
Still, will be hard to get Mr Flower to admit that. This week's it was the home ground advantage that would split the two teams. Why wasn't that the case for Round 3, especially given the 2004 result?
While you're not replying Mr Flower, I know you're reading. You don't have to reply, however I suggest to you that the bias ends in favour of OW in your writings. We all know you are passionate about the club, but it gets in the way of your writing and makes it difficult for other clubs who watch one team get written up so glowfully at the expense of others.
Take a step back. Talk about and tip OW where and when warranted, but don't use nicknames of OW players where you wouldn't other teams players. Choose OW players in your half teams of the year where they are warranted. Don't just choose a player because of past form and their reputation. NSW did that in this season's State of Origin and look what happened to them.
Give a 100% unbiased perspective. Trust me, your writing style will improve, your respect from your peers will increase and maybe, just maybe, your popularity on the VAFA website may just incease. Let's face it, you can't go any lower!

Maybe you guys should start your own thread for "whingeing girls"
mcglede said:
A simple yes/no answer would've been fine thanks. Quite an impressive essay, but wasted on me as all i wanted to know was if you had injuries, not the history of the effect of injuries on life as we know it within the VAFA. Nor did i need cross referencing with past discussions or your own bibliography.
Just to clarify .... yes you have injuries too? Are they key injuries or just injuries?

Good Point Pete
I hear on the grape vine Paul Cook has been sighted at the club, this might help explain the clubs current win/loss ratio
Bentleigh is currently 8-4 and not in the top four. On this pace, they will finish with 12 wins, and if they don't make the finals with 11 or 12 wins, will they then have claims to being the unluckiest team in all amateur football? Remember last year they got relegated despite winning 6 games.
Any meaningful thoughts?

Winning 6 games and dropping a grade is certainly a sharp little punt in the groin, and I would reckon winning 12 games and dipping out on September action by percentage would be an equally painful blow to the vas deferens. One of the top 5 has to miss out- at this stage I think it will be Westbourne. But we really should consult mcglede.

That could be true Collinsr, but you must not forget the wild cards, being Monash who are very tough to beat at home and are playing good footy at the moment, and also the relegation battle at the bottom. If Kew go down to the Saints this week, all three are back in the hunt to stay up, which means danger for the Big 5.
I agree though that the Warriors will need to win one of their road trips against Bentleigh or South, as well as beating the Magpies at home if they are to be certaintities (and of course not dropping one to the bottom 5).
My tip at this stage is we are the most likley to miss out, but there are still many twists and turns before this season is over!!

It is worth noting that there one win against the top 4 was over the previously undefeated Sths who have taken out all of the other top teams (some of them twice!) which indicates that OW can play on their day!
That said i must agree that the task for OW is a difficult one, but most of the other top teams are in the same boat. All must win against the other contenders and can't afford to drop one to the bottom 5!
It should make for a great second half of the season.
Unfortunately, Knackers thinks I have something against Old Westbourne.
If he went back and checked the history of this thread however, he would see that I tipped Old Westbourne to win the Premiership over Bentleigh this season.
Yes Knackers, I tipped your club to win the Premiership...and I believe they still can.
What we have is a situation whereby we have an even competition, with the top five being outstanding prospects to go to D2. I have no doubt we could currently take any two of the top five and they would be competitive in the league above to the point where neither would be relegated.
Monash are ever improving and Swinburne are not as bad as many made them out to be. I am surprised by the form of Kew, while UHS-VU and St Mary's can honestly say they picked the wrong year to be a little off the pace.
So Knackers when you try to suggest I do not respect your club, you're off the mark. I already do, and have for some time. What I don't like however is the two page homage to OW that we get in the Amateur Footballer every week. Simple.
