Hampden Football League

[Dream Boat]

Even with Kurt Niklaus in the Blues' line-up? Seriously though, how does the big Barra rate in the league?

He would have to be one of the best defenders wouldn't he.

In the WAFL last year, especially in the 2nd half, he was as good as any full back going around

yes agree barra is a dominant powerfull backman... shows when he plays CHB in interleague.. taking opp best forward every week... keeps them quiet plus plays well...

very intimadating also...

glad to have barra back home...

Hey guys - a little OT but I'll be down in Warnambool on the weekend (may even drop in to see the big Warrnambool v South clash on Sunday if it's free admission).

More importantly however can anyone tell me if there is a pub in the district which shows Fox Footy? From what I can tell not one pub in Warnambool has it due to cost. Am happy to drive to Port Fairy if required as I'm keen to see the Roos v Tiges game tomorrow.

Many thanks.

you like the w'bool boys under estimated north w'bool,shattered we only went down by 3 pionts
good future for the eagles

fantastic to see the eagles so competitive. With their youngsters they do have a bright future.Warrnambool are a bit disapointing at the moment.Good luck to all at Nth.

 

[ringo1]

Could be the Grand final preview this week at Camperdown! Should be a great game. Any thoughts?

south w'bool vs port fairy... prediction: south by 47 points
w'bool vs koroit... prediction: koroit by 23 points
terang vs cobden.... prediction: terang by 16 points
camperdown vs nth w'bool.... prediction: north w'bool by 7 points

Warrnambool d Port Fairy.........29points
Terang/Mortlake d Koroit............8 points

hey ringo and go fulta... just wondering what you think of this stella team.
and if you think any other counrty victorian team could match it...

b- B. Parkinson - J. Thompson - M.Schrama
hb - C. McLaren - D.O'Conner - K.Nickalus
c - J. Walters - J. McLaren - P.Heffernan
hf - B. Harris - R. Smedts - B. Kilday
f- M. irving - B. Hinkley - R. Gregg
rucks - L. Nickalus - L.Ryan - S O'Keefe
int - S. Sinnot - B. Couch - T. Dixon - B.Sholl - R. Sullivan

what do you guys think

 

[ringo1]

Great to hear from you dreamboat! The side that you listed would be very competitive. I don't think that other regions have an appreciation of how good the Hampden league is!! I would still have Hinkley in my side

what do you guys think

I would also imagine that Hinkley and Irvine(8 goals interleague) would be handful whilst the fullback Thompson has been outstanding for Sth Warrnambool

 

[go fullta]

b ben parkinson, jarrod thompson, chris mclaren
hb paddy heffernan,kurt nicklaus, joe mclaren
c andrew paton, damian O'connor, josh walters
hf matthew irving, ricky smedts, brad sholl
f brian beinke, frank matthews, robbie gregg
foll stephen sinnott, simon okeefe, liam ryan
int ben harris, brian hinkley, matt schrama, ben kilday
emerg nick couch, ricky sullivan, troy dixon, brendan mcmasters

similar but a few changes that turn it into a better side dream boat...haha!!! thoughts ringo?

 

[Dream Boat]

agree go fulta missed out on a couple,

• paton in for sholl (maybe)

would defiantly have L. nickalus in though...
certainly OX is a big chance at the maskell,
best from warrnambool, by far this year...

Ringo1 this statment hits the nail on head.
down here we get no recognitioon from no one(on this site). i'm not being byest, you just have to look at the statistics that sway in hampdens favour, but still no recognition...

 

[ringo1]

Dreamboat we have a great league and we should be proud of it

 

[go fullta]

brad sholl is not coachin port fairy next year!!! =big news

 

[bystanding backman]

I've played this year with a bloke called Adam Courtney, is an absolute champion of a bloke and not a bad footballer either. used to play at Cobden. can anyone else tell me a bit more about him any achivements

 

[ringo1]

Great to see the site back on the front page! Courtney is playing football for Kyabram in the Goulburn Valley FL although my source up that way thinks he could be on the move to a neighbouring club next year. Has been used as a runwith player in a lot of games.

I am at the same club as him this year, what was he like when he was at cobden did he ever take out any b&f's there.

 

[You amaze me!]

Gents my first post on this forum, but I feel i have to inspire you guys to keep the rest of us Ex Hampdenites informed! I'm keen to get your opinons on how you see the HFNL finals going this week?

The standand (online) takes a politcally correct approach, so i/we need some hard hitting opinons! Any upsets predicted ? Any teams suffering major injuries ? Always seems to be the undoing of the favoured teams...

Koroit have found some late form by the look. Not sure if they are a threat, however they would love being up against it I'm tipping ?

Did Camperdown have many out on the weekend ? or were South simply far to good for them ?

Cheers

 

[ringo1]

Welcome mate. I'd just about given up on trying to get some interest in our league on this forum. I think Sth would be mb choice at the moment.

 

[You amaze me!]

So no major injuries at South ?

Is Jaccob Rhodes playing ?

Form of Lee Roberts ?

Cobden still an outside chance? or is Camperdown there likely opponent?
