was at yulong on saturday and saw bundoora beat convincingly diamond creek. I dont see why everyone is riding bundoora off this early in the season, they might have lost a few but from what i saw yesterday they will be able to give heidleberg a run for there money.
The beat Diamond creek by 14 goals.
Dale Piggot was looking like being influencial this year but pulled what looked like to be a hamstring in the last quarter so i dont think he will b back for 3-4 weeks.
Bundoora had Ayres, howse, MacIntosh, whitnall, mitchell's and Muleta out.
but Carmichael, bonadio, finlayson, and brown all played
 
I think you were the main culprit for writing them off Hugs - given you started a thread "Bundoora = finished" with this post

easy fig 9.
just putting down my opinion.
i dont play or barrack for epping. a mate plays there and said that epping had out king,hollow and carrick and that west were at full strength.
so just relax and look at the facts. you only just beat the 2nd last team from last year. so i dont think that west will make top 4. fair enough or not. no need to get personal.

We will know more about them after Saturday..

Fig9 has been talking them up all pre-season so I'll be interested to see how they go. I know they will be fit - as it is a big part of a Larko pre-season... but can they play???

Looking forward to round 1 results - and DV starting generally ...AFL is starting to sh ! t me.

No way West were nearly at full strength, If you watched the game at all, or had any idea you would know that 3 of our talls didn't play, Billy morrison, Scott Nugent and Mick O'niell. 3 key players, carelli only played just over a half, bakers first game back, i think you should just think before you make silly comments. Epping looked pretty unfit after halftime aswell.
 
Lets get some tips for round 1
Epping vs Eltham Eltham 16 points
Greensborough vs Diamond Creek Creek 20 points
Heidelberg vs Bundoora Heidelberg 4 points
Montmorency vs West Preston Monty 42 points
Northcote Park vs North Heidelberg N/P 22 points

And after having watched creek on satd'y I dont think the four will change. West would have to improve a fair bit to catch the rest.

I may be wrong but isnt bakes playing at Broadford
 
Had a look at Plenty Cricket ground this morning, They have covered the practice wickets with artificial turf and were halfway through re-surfacing the car park and installing coaches boxes. The ground has a short grass cover but it is nice and soft. It will be small at 112 m by 153 but thats stil bigger than Monty at 103 x 144. (According to Google earth) Yes I do have too much time on my hands.:(
 
alright people i can tell you now 100% that the diamond valley has offically changed its name to the Northern Football League. after a meeting tonight at the MCG with all club presendents and secretarys everyone agreed this would be the best move. sad to see that days of the diamond valley gone but i think we can only thank floydy and his boys... cheers...

GYTM, I see on the clearances that Briggsy is returning to Lalor for the third time. Had heard recently he was having the season off and was even meant to be down at Lower with a few of the boys for a past players function this Saturday. What sort of condition is he in if he hasn't done a bit of pre-season?
Click to expand...

Yeah mate, he has alot of life long friends down there and probably wants to be able to have a kick with them whenever he feels like it. I dont think its in Briggsys plans to play week in, week out. Im just glad he is back at the club, cant buy quality like that...
 
jim beam do you have something to do at epping because i dont know who you are.........................but you seem to think you know alot but you have no idea.

kingy was on a holiday because he didnt think epping were playing last weekend
brad hollows was rested
wriggs hurt his knee in the 1st quarter but played the whole game so should be right
santo was rested in the last quarter because he had missed the last 2 practice gamesand was stuffed and sore but will play saturday.

if those 4 play for epping and contessa,minney and richo brothers are out for eltham i think i might be tipping the blue boys

You're obviously from West Preston. Was just wondering if you knew how a bloke was going who injured himself in a game against us (Lower) 2 seasons back? I wasn't playing that day and helped carry him off on the stretcher, as he injured himself out on the wing near our bench. Was the worst injury I've seen on a footy field and his knee was just caved in. Think he was only a young fella.

His name is Ash Bardon, i'm pretty sure it was his femur that he broke. Having last year off, he assisted and help big chazza win the under 19's flag last year which was a huge effort still being an under 19 himself. He's back on track, and just completed a massive pre season. He's been killing them in the twos, and is pretty close to senior selection.

Thanks Phoenix, but that was my opinion... ha ha.;)
Pigmy, don't take it heart, it's all trash talk anyway..:D

$4 Macleod
$5 Lalor
$6 Thomastown
$8 Lower Plenty / Whittlesea
$10 Watsonia

Then a bit of a gap to the rest I would think.
