I wouldnt say the comp is closer at all, the current top 7 teams are miles ahead of the rest of the comp, the current 5 have taken it up a notch while the lower half of the ladder are slowly dropping off. When teams are getting punished by over 100 points by top 5 teams you can hardly say they have improved at all.

I would have to disagree with you on that faceinthecrowd,without counting the two games that they were beaten by big margins being east (who were brilliant at capitolizing on bluewests failure to hit targets on a down night for them)and thomson (who had the umpires on their side all day ,which probably added 12 of their 29 goals - i am not saying that as an excuse for bluewest and they were undiciplened in a couple of occasions,thomson are still a class side and will possibly be there in the granny, but the umpires were very one sided and lost control of the game at times) all the other games have been very close:belmont by28,draw with bell post,inverleigh by 10,corio by 22 and a win against anakie.six of those sides are in the top seven, so compared to the last couple of years you would have to say bluewest have improved

Obviously someone part of the GDFL brains trust might have named these
guys to the vic selection panel.Someone doesnt watch to many games.Also no disrespect to the 4 chosen.

Agree partially, is Grigic really playing he doesn't appear to have had much influence. Have seen a couple of rob may's outings though and he looked pretty good.
 
Marty Curtis deserves his selection in the squad. If u look back, he's been in Thomson's best most weeks, and the games i've seen him play he gets a lot of the pill and uses it well. He's only a young bloke, maybe the selectors are looking for a bit of youth, if so, they've made a good choice in Curto.

Who picks the team no disrespect to the above but not one of those players would be in the best 5 players in the league
no R.O'Toole, G.Wallace, M.Stewart, C.Trotter, B.Nicholls, J.Fastuca named in squad did these guys make themselves unavailable surely???

Billy is a walking hospital ward. The bloke is always injured. Which is sad because he is a freak. Obviously they must have ruled themselves out because those 6 you named should all get a gig.

Lets not forget, this is the Vic Country team, not GDFL interleague team, most of the 6 you named are 30 plus! Yes we have many great players in the GDFL so lets leave it at that.

Thats true, but what I am saying is that those players all should arguably have gotten in before those selected (From the GDFL, not the entire rep team). Not saying that any or all of them should, but surely they would be front runners in terms of reps from the GDFL.

Rob May and Woods would probably not even start in the GDFL side and Curtis is not in O'Toole, Trotter and fastucas league..
What is others opinions???

you forgot to mention the guy who would be leading the league b&F at the moment (Jed Potter) he is absolutely killing it, no one can get near him and the thing is with jed you can play him anywhere and he would dominate. The selectors have got shit in there eyes
 
Read in today's paper that Grgic is a chance to Captain the Vic Country side. Are they serious? What has he done this year? They putting him for his name and not his performances.

grgic is playing and rarely has he been beaten this year, rob may has the best skills at the club and his attack at the ball is unquestioned. other than that there is alot of players who could have been chosen for this side. do they play any games or anything?

Ex AFL/VFL/GFL player, has a fair CV, along with Martin and Dickson leading the strongest defence in the GDFL.

Wallace would have to be stiff to miss out, although his body could use a rest. You would also think Haami would also be stiff to miss out.

Also heard that Lewis has been officially de-registered by vcfl.

Strong stance they have taken on him, I wonder why Skrobolak has not been investigated, but havent seen them play this year so not sure what the real problem is with him coaching.

Why would there be a need to investigate Skrobba? Lewis was deregistered because he has accumulated more than 16 weeks suspension over his career whereas Skrob had his coaching accreditation taken from him based on an off field and non football related incident. The two items are completely unrelated and at no time was Skrobba a chance of being deregistered.

In regard to the Lewis item I think it is unfair that they bring the rule in and then look at your history as there would have to be a heap of older blokes that might be in trouble (me included if I wanted to play again).

You should have got a clean sheet or at a minimum it should have only taken into account the past 3 years like the points system did in the AFL when it came in.

Aaron James (ex Richmond, Carlton and Bulldogs) is in the same boat as Lewis. He got suspended a couple of years ago and had accumulated 16 weeks in total has been reported for minor item and I think he got a week meaning he is now likely to be deregistered. Stabhope would be spewing as he has kicked 60 odd goals in 6 games

Mate its a big call to say theyre the strongest defence in the GDFL when teams havent played each other once. Wait another 4 weeks when the Hill have played Belmont, Thomson, East Geelong and Inverleigh, see what the stats say and then make the statement.

In regards to de-registering of players I think it would be interesting to see who is also in danger of falling into this category. Should the VCFL inform each team or league of who is in danger so clubs can talk to those players? Will it have an effect on recruiting next pre season onwards? Clubs wouldnt want to pay a sign on fee for a gun player to find out a week or two into the season a suspension means he's gone for the year and theyve done their $ and their season.
 
Absolute rubbish the 16 game rule. All it takes is a few stupid mistakes and they deregister you.

The leagues need to grow some balls and tell them to jump.

were is luke mahoney he is better than alot of the players in that side
 
all you people out there bagging brent grgic do you even know the man? how many times have you seen him play? sure his first two games for the club were not flash but the man has played 90 thats right 90 afl games. it took him a while to get used to the standard!! since then have not seen him lose one single contest not one. he is our most valuble and best player by far and in top 3 in league. has not missed a training session for the year and has improved a lot of players immensely by the extra work he does with them at training. so give the guy a break
