[Up the ante]

I have no ties with any club over your way, but i cant help but think that you would rather Wakool to continue to make up the numbers... e.g.. get smashed by 10 to 20 goals a week than actually be competative like they are for once... Sounds like you want it to remain nulli, murrabit ultima and maybe wandella fighting for the flag every year.... eventually at that rate it will be an actual four side comp.. would make for a short season which would be good.... I think it is great to see wakool having a crack...

You're right in what you are saying. It's good to see other clubs up there and i'm all for that. I just hope their attempt at immediate success by spending up big doesn't result in the club folding.The money they're spending in one year could keep the club running for a few years, that's my concern. I know for a fact their recruits wont take a pay cut if the club begins to struggle financially. The committee and the president will have a lot to answer for if it cripples the club. We'll just have to watch it unfold i suppose.

I think there could be a number of reasons why big Nats appears to be off the boil this season.
1. He kicked some big bags against ordinary opposition eg. Quamby 24. The standard of the bottom 4 has increased immensely.
2. An extension of No.1 in that he's probably not getting the quality and quantity of supply as last year.
3. Maybe its simply personal reasons eg. Fitness/injury.

But my bet would be 1 and 2.

After being dismissed by Dockers I hope he kicks a dozen this week and answers his critics. Show us what you've got big fella and let Dockers go back to talking about his posts on who has the best abs at Ultima.

i think you'll find i didnt dimiss him, as you suggested, i mearly said i haven't seen him play this year and i will get back to you after saturday. also, jatden barrett has the best abs... bit of bad luck about his shoulder, all the best for your recovery, parrot!

Whats happened to Ultima utility Ben Mahon this year? He looked set to take the league by storm last year after his 7 goal haul against Murrabit, but hasn't fired a shot since (except in the showers afterwards). Is he a chance of a repeat performance against the blues this week? Is he lacking fitness?

i don't think steamroller's head is switched on correctlt, tripod... i think he is to busy thinking about women (that he can't get), the d-floor at the o'e and sunday morning spa sessions when he should be thinking about getting the footy! hopefully a big one from s-roller this weekend, to silence the critics!

The steamroller needs to get back to the good old days, back when he was a virgin. Last year he played good footy, had a bonk and its gone to his head. The old days of 6 cans and 4 pies on a friday night made those calves what they are today, bring back the steamroller of old.

all reports indicate that steamroller is still a virgin and the calves aren't helping his cause, pecker!!!

I agree, if Wakool can sustain that sort of spending, I think good on them. If you are going to pay s hit loads you might as well pay good players ie Harvey Thorpe etc

 

[super snooper]

Here it is, this weeks winners in the GRFL

Macorna v Wandella - WANDELLA 37PTS


Moulamein v Wakool - WAKOOL 76PTS


Murrabit v Ultima - MURRABIT 32PTS


Nullawill v Quambatook - NULLAWILL 48PTS

Wandella by 42 points

Wakool by 87 points

Murrabit by 13 points

Nullawil by 34 points

 

[The Hand]

How is Macorna going this year? Heard they were spending a bit of cash and got some Echuca lads to go out there. Have they made any difference?

Have won one game so far, won't win more than 1 or 2 more. The best player (a local) is currently trying to be cleared to Cahuna. Enough said. Haven't seen the coach play but the rest haven't done much.

thats right jimmy, i'm sure the commitee at wakool have done the numbers and im sure they wouldn't go spending all of this cash if they didnt have it...

all true.. at least they have spent some coin on good players... i just wonder if it has become a case for these sort of clubs where they either have a crack and mayber go broke.. or tick along and eventually dwindle away.....

Watched Ultima for the first time last week and they showed nothing. In past years they played for each other. Going on their results this year, it would appear that the passion is't there. I know I've only seen one game, but have you seen something different Dockers to predict a win against Murrabit.

 

[FROGDOG17]

Rex Hunt is only human has been on the "overpaid local footballers" thread bagging blokes. Now we know who you are the question is do you get paid out at nully?

 

[rex hunt is only human]

from out that way originally mate... Just having some fun. And yeah, i get paid a fortune pppffftttt

 

[super snooper]

Wakool easily over Moula- as expected
Wandella just over Macorna- Macorna stiff by all accounts
Murrabit by 40 odd over ultima- Roos struggling
Nullawil comfortably over Quamby- to script.

No surprises really. Wandella, Ultima, and Hay to fight out 4th position. Hay and Bombers next week could be telling. Any other news?

ultima were jumped out of the blocks mate, scores were basically even after 1/4er time... were patches of good footy from the roos, but all in all no excuses as a full team was feilded on the day.

ultima plagued with injuries to key players but i'm sure they have enough depth to cover them

So what are teams up to this weekend in the GRFL? Any bootcamps or special mid-season bonding sessions planned?

It was stated that Henry and triplett were to miss for the blues, was this the case? and if so i would call them key players as well.

Remind me Dockers, how did you and your side go against Murrabit on the weekend? Maybe you should wait until you beat a side before you bag them.
