Heathcote District FL 2018

[Dragon Fly]

Good one it was
I was thinking of the wrong bloke as would have issues thinking he was the quality ruckman and potentially best player in the league.

Just adding to the best players Sam Vale will be handy inclusion for colbo as didn't play last year coming back
From the knee and Semmel back at Huntly is a league B&F on baller will be a good get also
Got some good onballers coming in to the league but you still need to kick the goals to win. Barnes, weeks, Gleeson and co, could be in for great years with quality onballers sticking it down their pipes all day.

I'm not across all the league but Weeks and Semmell would have to be top 3 id say.

 

[melancholy]

Surely Simmon Seddon would go close. 10 goals in a half of footy in a losing Grand Final in the QAFL for Labrador last year.. The bloke is not much taller than 5'11

Has the potential to tear the competition apart.

Is this the ruckman that played at Ky a few years ago?

Kelm played plenty of footy at Kerang then had a year with the Gold in 13. Terrific player

I like Huntly to run around 3rd or 4th. White Hills a hard one to read but second bottom would be a big slide.

Might be a lot of quality gone, but even better quality coming in.

Mounts to surprise everyone this year.

Ngawati was always playing with an injury, he's not a big loss.
Hurst haven't done themselves any favours recruiting him...

As mentioned above. I believe the quality on the way in, outweighs the quality on the way out. Important to also note with so many sides recruiting large chunks of their senior side from all over Melbourne and other leagues, Not to training together becomes a massive detriment to geling as a football team. 7 of mounts recruits won a flag together last year and all have runs on the board previously in other A grade metro and country competitions in the past. I would dare say it would take far less time for their recruits to gel with the current playing group and take some early scalps. Who knows though... That's the beauty of it.

Good forward planning but are they playing there this year

 

[vicfooty00]

Just heard about Mounts beating Wedderburn in praccy match today....

 

[6from7]

Scoreboard said 1 point from memory but pretty hard to judge when it's a 5 qtr game with a mix of senior and reserves playing. Wedderburn looked very good in first 2 qtrs moving the ball quickly leading by about 6-7 goals. Mounts then kicked into gear and finished the game well to close the margin. Just a praccy game however.

 

[howmuch]

Any other practice matches over the weekend?

 

[Test Tickle]

Nth BGO smashed Mitiamo 20goals.
Nth BGO look very fit and some have well disciplined game plans. Got some very good new players too. Mitty looked very undermanned and were no match for the Bulldogs.

I'll be looking at Heathcote v East Burwood next week.

 

[vicfooty00]

My prediction for the biggest surprise this season will be the good ol pleasant boys.
