I know I've asked this before... But doesn't that mean he's not getting paid a cent? Pretty sweet deal for Powerhouse if that's the case.
Gryphons a very good side Johnny and one of the main challengers. Obviously they were too good for us on the day the other week.
Fletcher's probably the best of the midfield and you have two good key defenders in Wells and number 70 something and Baxter with the run but the thing that makes Gryphons a threat is the number of blokes who can kick goals (Malloy, MCConville, Malone and the blond bloke no.14 with the long arms).
Gryphs are right in there with a chance.
Good team Monash, play their ground so well, was in sensational cond unlike our ground. Mtl had 3 late outs sat and had to pull 3 up from the magoos who had chased hard all day in that game. Regardless Monash by far the best team that I have played against this season.
He'd have to be the same age as you KB's, hows the body holding up??
ITS NOT!! which is concerning at the age of 31

I also went to this game and was told their CHB and on-baller ( Chapman I think ) were not playing & are normally walk-up starters. Game was over by 1/2 time but WB were competitive 2nd half and had a couple of handy talls. Problem was like the other teams PA have played they couldn't contain their key forwards even on the heavy ground.

West Brunswick also had Haysey out who has been a good player for a long time.

He's our Capt. and a very good player. Were missing our VC too after he was KOd against Gryphs. No excuses though, Prahran were a good side and we couldn't contain their #21 no matter who we put back on him. Delivery to him was excellent.

Bemused...I understand your support of volunteers who put in their time and effort to support grass roots football...HOWEVER...
I have no issues with umpires making MISTAKES. Players do that all the time and so do umpires.
My issue is with blatant cheating by CLUB umpires to get their team over the line.
That not only upsets the clubs but more importantly upsets and frustrates the players of BOTH SIDES and does nothing to help and support the game.

I would imagine that the vast majority aren't paid and at Power House they definitely aren't - I say they because there are 5 of them so whoever wants to tee off at our ressies umpire, well who knows which one you're talking about. What I do know is that they are all honest citizens and have all played the game.
on the weekend the powerhouse ressies ump could have easily paid a free kick to them in the goal square in the final 30 seconds of the game that most likely would have most likely won them the game but didn't.....
its a tough un-rewarding job that at our level most clubs struggle to find people to do.....so give them a break...

This is exactly my point. This guy paid it as he saw it...not paid it in favour of HIS team.
I have no issue with club umpires...I do have an issue with cheating club umpires
It's the blatant cheats who favour their own team that need to be stamped out...and we all know who they are...
G'day Redgum - How is the bloke that was taken away in the Ambulance a couple of weeks back?
Hopefully all is well and the injury hasnt effected his family/work.
Er....you could lodge an inquiry letter to the VAFA. It'll cost money though. (what else is new?) Like a reserves report. Im sure Brian Goodman would like to hear. The association pays clubs a rebate to provide reserves umpires....go on, give 'em an excuse to withdraw that rebate.
Just remember, these clubs cannot take their umpire into the finals.

Do you mean like a rubber stamp on their credentials that says CHEAT in big bold letters?
Oh how I try and support these selfless fellows who each week brave the wet, the mud, the abuse - THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST!
It seems the weight of opinion is sliding out of my favour. When I used to umpire there were no yellow or red cards - it was just a little note pad shoved in your jockstrap. And if it came to it - head to head, toe to toe with an agressive perpetrator. Stand your ground and earn your respect was what we were taught long before Benny Goodman was out of his diapers.
As for cheating that was reserved for the early hours of Sunday Morning.
If this is true what DEE FREE says (and others, not only through this electronic medium we all hide behind these days to speak our mind for fear of retribution from the powers that be) YOU UMPIRES OUGHT TO BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES.
But until somone can show me hard video evidence, posted on one of the more reputable online video hosts, I WILL REMAIN LOYAL TO MY FELLOW MEN and WOMEN IN WHITE
LONG PROSPER THE WHISTLE BLOWERS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE CLUBS
Now I wonder what Mick Malthouse would say about all of this?
No wonder the umpiring is so shit.
Okay back to the footy. My tips for Round 8 are
YV v the Gryphs- Haven't seen Yarra Valley yet and they sit with Gryphs at 5-1 so hard to make an informed judgement. Yarra ran Prahran close at Domeney while the Gryphs went down comfortably to Prahran at Toorak Park. Based on that and it being Yarra's home ground, I'll tip them by 5 goals.
Ivanhoe vs West Brunswick-West Brunswick were impressive with their run last week and are right in the mix with all of the other sides closely grouped together. The Hoes showed their best form for the year so far last week but will need to be right at their best to take West Brunswick-Hoes by 15 points.
Mt Lilydale v Kew-Kew have played some good footy this year and have been unlucky not to have won more games. On form they are a match for Mt Lilydale but the home ground advantage does seem a big one. Mt Lilydale by 4 goals.
Albert Park v Elsternwick-Albert park are a dangerous side with plenty of scoring power. Muscat was back among the goals last week and with he Malone and potentially Murchie up forward they will have too much for Elsternwick who must be starting to worry they are drifting too far south. AP by 30 points.
Powerhouse v Prahran-Edwardes pulled another game out of the fire last week for the House and as Pike plays more, he must be a significant asset for the Lakesiders. However they are up against the best in the business to this point. Prahran by 50 points.
Hawthorn v UHS-A disappointing week for both sides last round. Despite last week, Hawthorn still have plenty to offer and i'll tip them in a close one by 5 points over Uni.
YV v the Gryphs- Haven't seen Yarra Valley yet and they sit with Gryphs at 5-1 so hard to make an informed judgement. Yarra ran Prahran close at Domeney while the Gryphs went down comfortably to Prahran at Toorak Park. Based on that and it being Yarra's home ground, I'll tip them by 5 goals.
