Re: D4 Section Ammos

Talk about going from chocolates to boiled lollies: our new draw is ordinary to say the least. Not impressed.

A lot of travel and all the top sides twice! Good challenge they've set us

Sounds like you have a similar draw to us Waz.

In the "draft", we had half the travel and played the bottom half twice, and played home games first and last round. Now its the opposite! So some people will be happy with the new draw? It would be nice to know who complained, and why the VAFA listens to the complainants without also acknowledging the clubs that have no grievances. Its a strange process...

I believe this is the first time that a draft draw has been sent out, why do it in the first place.

Kew were happy as we started with 2 away games (rich and Box Hill) in first 2 rounds but then had the last 2 at home. Our draw totally changed from the first time. Now we have Bulleen and Albert Park first 2.

Good point. People should make their preferences known to the league, and the draw should be built from that... sending out a draft only starts trouble.

Re: D4 Section Ammos

How was last years draw for you Waz?

I know ours was favourable and that's probably why we have a harder draw this season.

Re: D4 Section Ammos

Just had a quick look at it - we've got all three "interstate" teams away too. We might think about leaving a day early, take in some sights on the friday night and then its less distance to travel on Saturday!! Which round is the 'rivalry' round?

Yeah, better.... We didn't have to go to Eltham last year.

But for the second year in a row we will only play Bulleen once. I would have thought they might try to avoid that kind of thing.


Anyway, I appreciate they cant get it to be perfect.

Hi all, long time reader first time poster.

its to early to tell who the draw will favor, till we are at least a few rounds in. i think we all know how clubs in D4 can turn things around in a season.

Have many clubs have started pre-season if so how have the numbers been?

There are some obvious ones there, but Syndal/Mt Lilydale? Kew/St FX? and Albert Park/Bulleen? What is the theory behind those. The teams left over or is there some great history that I don't know about?

Albert Park & Bulleen go a long way back. To the 1930s actually. Without going into details and risking the safety of all readers, it was very "Elliot Ness/Al Capone" style.

South Mornington wear our strip... Thats the only point of rivalry, but its not bad... We enjoyed getting our revenge late last season at home.

I shared the hospital waiting room with a Sth Morn player. And that was just from the reserves!

Syndal v Lilydale... one of the better ovals in the comp v one of the worst Don't know if we are just leftovers, but probably fit better than any other possibility as far as feeling when we are out on the field. My gut feeling is that Syndal v North Brunswick is probably the only other matchup in the division at the moment that would really qualify.

It's a bit before my time, but apparently Kew and Richmond have a bit of history?

Re: D4 Section Ammos

Draw seems a bit wonky in parts, eg Albert Pk play BHN in Rd 1 & Richmond in Rd 3, but don't play either of them again, on the other hand they don't play either Mt Lilydale or Eley Pk in the first half of the season, but play them both twice in the last 9 rounds.

Probably did your draw last.

Its hard to have a true rival when clubs go up and down each year. And yes....we have a HUGE rivalry against Kew......we don't like them either!

Being serious, its probably not an important thing in our grade. Maybe in A & B where its a bit more settled....although when StMary's and Hawthorn where in D4, every week was rivalry week!! (Someone always hated them)

On the matter of grounds and the drought - I got told by one council to get off the grass.........Almost dropped my bong!

Go Centrals.......

Oldtimer,

How is ruck man Bell's injury looking? Will he be back in 08?

What about Williams will he be back from O/S?

Bell played the last 4 games of this year and Williams will be back in March.

That will be a pretty deadly Ruck Duo.
The 2 Previous B&F's and 2 Previous D3 League Team Ruckman in one side.

But they'd be no match for the Ruck Machine!
