D3 Section Ammos 2007

[westBourne identity]

That sounds alright to me!! Used to have a young lady friend out that side of town - might have to re-visit and make the whole exercise cost effective.

What's you vibe about the fellas at this stage? ground a problem? and should I hold off on holidays later in the year so it dosen't bugger up flag celebrations?

Yeah give yourself a couple of safety weeks between the end of the season and your holidays. or better still take your holidays after the last weekend of the year and if all goes swimmingly we can celebrate through your holidays! but lets not get carried away.

Grounds no good at all. Been training at alternative venues and will continue to do so for the next 5 weeks. Hopefully this will give it enough time to get back to reasonable condition.

The numbers are good on the track with a few new recruits regularly attending which is good at this time of year.

Knnackers - I think you may be on the money with your seletions. Kew are confident of a final 4 appearance this year as well. I know a few contacts from WB, Kew, La Trobe and Ivanhoe - so your guess runs well with what I have been hearing.

have no contact at Swinny, so can't comment on them to be fair. Drove past Powerhouse not too long ago and they had resonable numbers , but not the 50 or so as suggested ( and then denied ) in earlier posts.

The wicks have been good recently - just a slight hic cup with finals - they would have to go back at a rate to miss the four ?

PRELIM FINAL RESULTS 9/9/06

SENIORS: South Melbourne Districts 22.12-144 def Elsternwick 6.16-52

Slight hiccup with finals may be an understatement but I must slightly agree with you Champ and say both sets of wickers are my tip for a run in D2 next year. Kew and Swinburne, see you in D4

 

[Red Gum]

Any other bandwagons I could get on - just been given the boot off that one. Who's the next best bet fellas?

In what way does my response "Plenty of room on the bandwagon..." give you the impression you're unwelcome?

Obviously the more support for WBAFC the better.

If I'm snappy I guess it's just that I'm sick of hearing that last year's B&F is going to (Kew/Elsternwick/ Insert club here).

I'm hoping for a good year for WBAFC but it would be hubris to consider such distant possibilities in mid-feb.

It's a fair point, and made emphatically, but I've said before and will again that Wicks would/should be very disappointed, and I'd be very surprised, if they don't make the four.

Why not get carried away OW usually do.

Kew are very happy with numbers thay have been attracting on the track but at no stage has anyone ever said anything about finals. We are a brand new club and won't have a real idea of how we are travelling until our practice matches.

You might want to check back over the previous pages of this thread. With news of the merger there was a swell of excitment in our leafy eastern suburbs. Seems some Kew supporters are counting their chickens. Sparked a whole D3 Vs SDFL slanging match.

Red Gum, only Kew people to my knowlegde on this thread are Crazy bear, turbs23 and myself. Not one has mentioned finals. We will have to improve at least 12 - 15 goals to be up with WB, OW and Elsternwick from 06".

 

[Red Gum]

Out of recent discussions and taking into account all the scuttlebutt of the forum:

Top 4:
WB
Wicks
LaTrobe
OW

Pack:
Kew
Powerhouse
Ivanhoe
Monash

Bottom 2:
Hawks
Swines

I've tried to put the groups in order too but my WBAFC bias is shining through.

Re: D3 Section Ammos 2007
1. Latrobe
2. West Brunswick
3. Kew Bears
4. Powerhouse
5. Elsternwick
6. Old Westbourne
7. Ivanhoe
8. Monash
9. Hawthorn
10. Swinburne

- expect a much stronger showing from Kew , with some strong second year juniors from u19 premiership two years ago, and some good players form Nth Kew- in fact smoky for the flag for mine. Powerhouse have picked up more .. only query is run in legs-- if not swap them and Elsternwick

From Page one. Also note Madman (not a Kew fan but certainly talked up their new recruits.)

See my post above. I may be making an assumption that Archangel is a Kew fan given the "Local Footy" and location Kew. I accept that the three you've listed haven't been making rash claims, but many of the people on this forum are incognito. Some even having slanging matches with team-mates to throw others off the scent!

Archangel is definitely from a d1 club if you look at his previous posts. I would say from Old Carey. However, March 17th we will get a little indication of where we are when we play against you guys.

Really?
You know more about our practice matches than I do. At your ground? Ours is RS.

Probably ours, either North Kew's ground or Kew's depending on cricket.

Look forward to it!
I put Kew at the front of the chasing pack in my mooted ladder so it'll be good to see the new team first hand.

That's a month from this weekend. I might go for a run tonight!

Oldy and Red - from OGs- D1- correctc check the posts- but like me is a local boy so interested in the 'Bears' i suspect. I think people enjoy speculating on all threads here, but none , self included, claim to be nostradamus.- all fun.

 

[oc37]

If you want my tips

i am from OC-

Powerhouse
West B
OW
then the field
for what it is worth

 

[Champ or Chump]

Plenty of room on the badwagon, I don't know where your reports are coming from but I haven't heard any talk of the big show. (Except the wrestler). Maybe you should get your close hand off it.

D3 sounds like it'll be a pretty good standard.

Sorry Red Gum, I read that as 'getting my hand off it " !!

What a position I have myself in now !! OW - a generous welcome and a hook up with a sure bet ( the lady friend ) or a close drive to WB and some early season optimism? Can i phone a friend?

I stand fully corrected - that is a blow out and a very strong result for SMD. Did they go onto win the flag? if so who did they play?

Not the lady friend.
PM me and I can set you up with a social membership and all the (post-match) beer you can drink (for a price). Could even get you a special on Ma Tobin's relish at the canteen.

 

[Red Gum]

Yep. Were promoted to D2 along with Bentleigh.

Two quick things :

1) results look like they had a little too much run in the legs ( and they look a young yet not too tall team - may have relied on leg spped?)

2) Did a guy with limited hair name Sharpe (?) play for Bentleigh? He used to be an unassuming type , great set of hands and a very good left foot kick. Didn't mind a bit of tough stuff either for memory. Good country fella.
