From all reports they have had a lot of top line players out and will be expecting them back before the years end.

Is that why they (AP) lost to Latrobe and only just beat Kew?? I thought they were at full strength and credit to them they certainly don't highlight any top line outs that may or may not have a baring on their results.
The season's over so let's all pack up, it's a AP v Latrobe GF already and at home this week they'll smash MTL to make it certainly a two way contest!!
Kew had Bell, Thorp, Poxon, Duke, Hawking, Haddad, Phipps, Mutton and Wang out of their starting 18 and Horne and McDermott played their first games for some time. Obviously will be a lot better when these players come back.
Noticed Maunder and Bennett haven't played for a while - serious injuries??

Was it the AP or Kew player that got reported?
AP have two serious knee injuries and a broken collar bone... not sure of the players... just the reports from previous posts?

Few more than that i believe and one extremelly serious one where a player has had to have 4 plates inserted into his face plus broken collar bone and dislocated shoulder to the same player against Latrobe lets hope all is well with him in his recovery. But in saying that ya put ya best side out there with what you have got. They make no excuses tho from what i hear Latrobe were the better team and Kew played well. 2nd half of the year is looking like a ripper with some very good games coming up. Top sides playing each other which is great leading into the finals.

Totally agree with your take on the days events.
It was a great arm wrestle with the game not really put away until the last 5 minutes.
As for the after game attendance, it's a total DISGRACE!!!!
Function or no function, how hard is it to go and have a beer with the opposition. How many times have North Brunswick been on the end of a hiding and still managed to have a fair representation in the clubhouse for a beer? At least wait for the after game presentations!!! But then, i suppose, if your Coaches and your Captain don't lead the way, what hope do you have?
We also give half a dozen to the BOG for both opposition snr and res teams which were duly passed on to the two guys that bothered to hang around.
Lucky Brunswick isn't further away from Bulleen otherwise those 4 or 5 may not have come in either.
When it's all said and done, we all hate each other for a couple of hours on a Saturday afternoon and we want to knock each other over (i know, it's happened to me very often), but after that final siren sounds, it's a great opportunity to mingle with the opposition and get to know one another.
Perhaps a leaf should also be taken from the Pres at La Trobe for more or less creating a 'Lock in' a few weeks ago at the after match preso.
Bulleen = soft
That's my rant.
A major function is a decent excuse for poor after match attendance. It happens once or twice a year for each side?
Apart from that, Manningham is up for a treat at the snake pit this Saturday. Brand new canteen/bar/lounge opening! Cant wait

Agreed that a function is a reasonable excuse. Fortunately EP and BHN both had functions on Saturday so the after-match was done quite soon after the game.
Bringing your own beer is much worse!

Fair point but......
The game finished at app. 4.30pm.
Brunswick is a 15 - 20 minute drive from the Bulleen area. 30 at most.
You'd think the function wouldn't start before 7pm.
Knowing they had a function, our Pres would have done the presentations early.
Leaves a fair bit of time to acknowledge your hosts, even if it was for one solitary drink.
And if i'm not wrong, one of the two who hung around for the presentations may have even been the President of Bulleen. You'd think if the function was a MAJOR function, he'd have hot tailed it out of there as well.
Poor form in my opinion!!
As for bringing your own beer, all i can say is Thank God Hawthorn are in a higher grade!!!

Most teams have their functions on away games correct ?, then why is it that some teams use this as an excuse not to set foot into the opposition rooms. We as a club make it a rule to have a drink with the opposition, function or no function most don't start till 7.30 / 8.00 gives you plenty of time.Waz as president you and the coach set the tone we know not all players will abide but 5 is pathetic no excuse.
Ps; Manninghams silence says it all.

I am tipping that it was the Kew player McIndoe would have to be the 2nd softest big man in D4.

witnessed some pretty soft efforts by D. Penny on the weekend-crying and pretending he got hit too high-milking a few free kicks-i guess this is why every week he gets a few goals.
Stauton from La Trobe the softest?
McIndoe is the captain of Albert Park isn't he? Hard to be soft and a captain I would have thought.
Yes, It was the Kew player reported.
kew player reported for unduly rough play...which pretty much means that the umpire deemed it was reportable but couldnt find anything else to book him with (i.e striking)...pretty sure the kew player is accepting the prescribed penatly (2 weeks) as to not waste his or the AP's player time tonight.

sorry for not hanging around as anyone who knows me i always make sure i stay to watch the "real game" and have a beer after, but i deff still got a traveler on sat and i got a couple for a couple of the boys that played in the ones. The 2 blokes i went with after the game also made sure they got a drink before they left aswell. i know not alot hung around but as i said i know more than a handful of guys make sure they grabed one as they left.
