Unfortunately key injuries have hit already and the team has also lost Ryan to Coburg which will expose the depth players, time will tell if they can step up.
As with any team if they are at full strength they can match it with most...

It can not be as bad as the report to Breust from marby late bump by a second on Ross who made a meal of it and the 50 metre king had is book out in a flash reported for striking interesting how he can justify that
I though BnF winners attracted an extra point - perhaps VFL doesn't count.
So Soncin is a 3 point player after winning VFL Development BNF
Sam O'Brien kicked over 40 goals for Moonee Valley last year against Burnside Heights, Keilor Park & East Sunbury and he's worth 4!

Interesting one but common sense has prevailed. VFL Development league has so many players running through the team that players have been known to win it playing a low number of games. I think 3 points is fair. Overall I think VFL development players are rated to high anyhow..
Soncin is a very good pick up for Pacco. Brings something different to the team than the other mids. Really like his style.
O'Brien points are due to transferring within the same league I think. But once again I disagree with this rule as his moving up to play a higher division so why should he be disadvantaged. Some clubs wouldn't be interested in recruiting him solely because his rated 4 points That's totally wrong and unjust on the player.
How's Sam been going anyway as I thought his was always capable of playing premier.
Or maybe he could show some loyalty to his original club and stay there, help them move up the grades? How are clubs in B & C Grade supposed to improve and move up through the grades when their better players are continually leaving for more $$$'s playing in a higher grade. If I've said it once I've said it a thousand times "LOCAL FOOTY IS STUFFED" ,Loyalty is a rare commodity these days right down to the Juniors , How the hell did all of us let this happen? Yes, work(the real world) ect.. is about getting the best deal you can, but local footy is supposed to be a break to distance yourself from the real world and enjoy something you love doing, once upon a time Tues, Thursday nights and Saturday came around it didn't matter if you were a Doctor, Lawyer, Tradie, Uni Student or an unemployed bum, that group who most had had grown up together came as one, all equal to do battle with a team that was doing the exact same thing! Those days are gone, how many times do you see an old mate who only get's down to a few games mention "I don't know any of these blokes playing in our jumper". Yes the standard of footy from the Greenvale's/Abers ect.. is extraordinary, but what a price we've paid(and I'm not talking about the $300-$400k clubs/volunteers work their arses off to fork out to put a team out on the park each season)
May as well stop letting blokes to go any higher level of footy to better themselves then with that theory.
Clubs should stop any of their players to go and play VFL, any rep footy etc etc
Players shouldn't be allowed to go and play AFL - After all its a higher grade for more $$$
Don't know Turbo - went and watched Marby for a half on the weekend and he seemed to be going OK down back
Seems strange that a Div 2 EDFL player is classed as more points than a VFL Development BnF winner doesn't matter which way you look at it
Dickhead comment. I was clearly referring to Local Footballers who will only ever be Local Footballers no matter what Division they play in.
There's local footballers and local footballers! If a bloke is playing at a club that has absolutely no ambition whatsoever to improve itself on or off the field and is playing lower division football why should any player with an ambition to play the best footy he can stay there?
Look up the definition of Loyalty............ Maybe, just maybe if he was that ambitious about playing a higher level he would do whatever he could to help his club rise up???
Young people these days have no idea of working through adversity........

Big news going around. Airport West to give Cupido his marching orders tonight. Wasted investment by the sounds of things. Not sure who is taking over as heard Cockatoo, but isn't he a mate of Cupido's.
I also heard there reserves forfeited at 1/2 time last week. That's a bit disappointing.

My only observation was that a Div 2 player was classified as a 4pt player and VFL 2's BnF winner 3 pts. I dont even know the bloke or follow either of the clubs he's played at!
Bang, you're pigeon holing everyone that leaves their club as a mercenary chasing money and having no loyalty.
Loyalty runs both ways you know. if a footy club can't provide an environment (or chooses not to) that enables that player to get whatever he wants to out of his footy why should he stay there just because he was raised in that suburb and played his junior footy there? Granted some blokes are only about the $ and that is a sad reality but not every player that ever leaves his club is about the $

Bangfrom50 i agree with some points and totally disagree with others...
1) Why cant Same choose to play with mates he has playing at Marby?
2) Why cant Sam choose to play with his brother at Marby?
3) Why should Sam dwell in a lower grade of footy when he is capable of playing higher?
4) Maybe old mate should show up around the place and he would know more people, if i walked into a place twice a year i wouldn't know many new people either
5) Some clubs spend responsibly, some don't and want success, thus pay overs- Hence why we now have a points system that is trying to correct the situation we now find ourselves in.

Has Cupido been moved on by APW?
A poster on the Ballarat thread mentioned that he might have signed at Bacchus Marsh.

Cmon BJ, I gave you the mail at 12:49 today. I wasn't aware of the Bacchus Marsh thing but guess he will play somewhere. In a decent side he could be valuable but I wouldn't go paying him to much, only because he doesn't seem overly fit and I wonder about his commitment & attitude. But that's from an outsider who doesn't know him nor do I understand the arrangement between him and Airport West.

Thanks mate
I wasn't sure whether it'd been confirmed or whether it was just speculation.
Come on BJ, have you ever known Turbo to indulge in idle speculation before?

Patty Rose given a reprimand for punching opponent in the face.
Tribunal over the last 2 years has been very firm with guilty cases and handed out solid penalties. I think it's good. This decision just proves the big name players still play by their own rules!
Minimum 2 weeks for swearing, wrestling and rough conduct but you can play this week Patty after punching a player out of frustration. Poor!

It's a joke, yet it could have been some unknown player from a lower club and would have received 3 weeks.
What circumstances would you consider a reprimand appropriate? What about a 22 year playing record without blemish?

If this is true then that's probably a fair decision without seeing the incident. I've never known Patty to be a dirty player and they do play him very close.
