200% he ain’t going to be at Talbot we’re is he connection there ? He was brought up in melton south so that’s why his going back there.

They have also signed Shaun McKernan and 5 other other tulla players.

one of the players going is the captain Daniel Devine from Tullamarine

Devine was just announced by Tullamarine. Don’t feel too bad, your “cousin” lies to everyone

So in the 18.5 Douttas straight through to the GF. I predicted this in the early rounds of the season. What an embarrassment for the league. Why should div1 clubs have to play against premier league clubs??? Whoever made this call should immediately be stood down from the league..

Turbo, EDS won by 7 points, not 17 goals. Some perspective please.

Marby by 24…
West Coburg were 1.12 early on and finished with 5.20..
Wasn’t there so no idea how much influence the wind had on the all points kicked

Understand that mate but surely even you would say why is a side like douttas got 18.5 is the lower division?? They wonder why players leave and there seniors are what they are over recent years. That’s not development, nor a good junior program mate.

Was a really good contest of 18’s footy, Douttas did enough just enough, but they will need to play better to win it. Moonee Valley has some very talented young players, one key fwd who is still under 16’s was very impressive, big future. Another under 16 played in the midfield more than held his own. The standard was far inferior to a premier game though.

Stuck around for the senior game as well and although a very scrappy affair in the conditions, it was fiercely contested with plenty of spite. West Coburg kicking 0.12 in the first effectively cost them the game. Pretty tight after that but it felt like WC were chasing the game after 1/4 time. Some more easy shots missed in the 3rd quarter was salt in the wound. Marby very fit, rotated heavily and ran the game out a lot stronger.

Should be a cracking GF if West Coburg are good enough to get in next week.

Well you are able to hence the points. Wonder if WC players will stay on if they win it?

Yep, you certainly are able to use up to 46 points. I guess the point (talking generally) is the degree of difficulty of the home grown approach, versus the chequebook approach, where clubs load up on recruits each year, sometimes at the expense of their own junior program. You have to admire clubs who can be super competitive without going on recruiting sprees each year.

Yes you must admire them but I’m sure there better players are on decent coin. But hey it’s rare on good on them. However the stigma from the incident in last years GF is still around and really hope this year if they make it that there is no reoccurrence.

Not sure WC has a junior program that is to be envied...
No 18s and their 16s finished bottom of Div 3.
Will need to recruit as their current list gets older in the coming years so their points will have to increase
