was talking to a bloke that is in the know out at ultima and there seems to be some concern about whether they old rooboys are going to be able to field a side towards the end of the season with a fair few senior footballers carrying season ending injuries with only 3 games to go.... can anyone confirm this?

Waawaa Boohoo. Who hasn't got injuries this time of year. Their reserves are still somewhat competitive, give one or two of them a shot. Their finals are shot and with Murrabit, Nully in the next few weeks it aint gunna matter. It will be a testof character for the club as a whole give the top sides a scare at least. They should be fine with 12 players on the field to beat Moula last game.

Its true we do have some injuries, but theres been no concern about feilding a side. This contact of yours musnt be in the know too much. I wouldnt think that we have any more injuries than any other club. .

 

[PARROT9]

Talking to a bloke from Moula and he said the reason for the belting was because the Geelong boys didn't make the the trip to Hay and were left high and dry. from reports 11 reserves players ended up fielding the side. So the score is some what easy to understand....

Has anyone heard similar information?

Spoke to Grillsy who goal umpired and colonel Sanders was the only real recruit there... Poor old Grillsy's arms nearly fell off!!!!!!!!!!!

Can someone tell me whether or not nullawill are a 10 goal better side than wakool?
Or did wakool have a shocker?.
Why are nullawill such a good side?
Who are nullawills good players?
Is it true that some of the wakool players were fighting amongst themselves?

Don't know if Nully are a 10 goal better side but they must have matched Wakool very well. One point I notice from looking at results is Wakool do have some strike power up forward, but they must struggle down back. When they played Ultima, although Wakool still kicked 33 goals, they allowed a struggling Ultima to kick 14 or 15 goals. Their back line has got to be the biggest query. Obviously put under pressure on Saturday and failed. Makes for a good finals series though. Who will sneak in, Wandella or Hay?

Looks as though it will come down to the very last round at Hay where they meet...Wandella will have the advantage as it has had its 2 byes while Hay hasn't...giving them a game advantage if they are good enough, but if Hay beats Wandella in the final round its percentage is likely to carry them through...Exciting times......

yeah there has been a great deal of injuries and i believe this is the reason their finals might be shot. I feel for them....
'Absolutely' i hope your team loses because of injury or at best you get injured and miss out on the 2nds finals...

Well if you would like to give me a list of these players (that would make your top 18) i'm happy to listen.
I'd be interested to see how it compares to Murrabit or Hay in recent weeks....

Almost everyside has big outs at the moment. It is just how they cover them. It is hard to say that injuries is the reason why a certain team doesnt make the finals. If you have injuries and dont make the finals then i would say that the reason why they didnt make the finals is because of their depth, no so much the injuries. Murrabit, Hay, Ultima, Nullawil (and probably other sides) all have had some big outs over the last month or so. Their depth will say how they perform.

You get sick of hearing teams blame a defeat on injuries. No doubt injuries play a huge part, but often both teams have players missing, but you only hear about the players the losing side are without.

Having said that, its injuries to key players (your A grade players ) that hurt and are hard to cover. but thats football.

Spot on !! Not many grand final teams have all their best players on the track. Go through past finals in almost every side in every league and i bet each side doesnt have their "best" side on the track.

I hope people on this thread are not under the impression that Ultima are blaming injuries for not making the finals because this is definately not the case. We had our chances throughout the year with and without a full team, just as everyone else has, and we came up short, simple as that. On another topic, what a fantastic race to the finals it will be for Hay and Wandella, all going well I hope it comes down to the last home and away game, what a cracker that will be. I see Daniel Gash kicked some goals for Hay, is he there for the rest of the year?

nice to see the netball segment kicked off fantastic stuff
Just wanting to know if the Steve Bracks lookalike henry Carracher is still playing out at nully?
And who is this ben Parker? Must be some player if hoota has him above harvey in his top 30, maybe hoota could do the top ten netballers next time as well to be fair

Think parker was on Adelaides list a few years ago. Seems to be starring at Nully

 

[Trent the flight Steward]

Why isnt Tim Free coaching quamby? He leads by example running headfirst into packs and is a fantastic kick of the footy
Why do Quamby bother with the Woorineen rejects?
i hear Adam Robertson is returning next year as coach bringing with him an ex northern knights captain

The same adam robertson who played out there a couple of years back, with his brother dale?

For the same reason Luke 'chubby' Fulton isn't coaching the Raiders, not good enough!

saw parker play on the weekend and he looked very dangerous. Came in and out of the game but kicked 8 from the wing. most of them outside 50m. Would of only touched the ball a dozen times but every time he went near it he scored or a team mate did. Seems like the kind of player that could win a game off him own back. In saying that he wasnt named in the best 2 for Nullawil. Have been keeping an eye on the awards for most sides and he seems to get a mention most weeks, weather is be in the best or amoung the goal scorers. Very enjoyable to watch on saturday.

We must know 2 different tim frees. The one I know doesnt leave the 50 meter arc and crys like a baby when going near the ball. Marcus is doing a great job from what I can see. ( I am an outsider looking in.)

i dont know about certain 'injuries' jimmyboy... maybe a lack of heart from some players, for example pat mahon
