I have to agree, it seems that posters from the various Lexton teams feel that all they can do is attack individuals or teams that are doing well. The tall poppy syndrome is alive and well. Posters why don’t you do an honest analysis of your teams and your league. As an occasional observer of your league, here’s is an assessment.
The Lexton League is a weak competition. There are only three teams that have any credentials to be described as quality sides CL, Skipton and Rokewood. For them the only time they get good matches is when they play in the finals against each other. CL, Skipton and Rokewood don’t lose matches against the rest, they generally thrash the rest.
Let’s look at the rest
Illabrook- the team that came fourth won a massive 6 games in the season. When they were confronted by Skipton in the finals they were appalling, showed little or no aggression or passion or skill. Wouldn’t beat Clunes who finished 10th in CHFL.
Navarre got stage fright and lost to Illabrook relies on old Wayne Driscoll to kick goals. About the same as Illabrook.
Lexton has recruited heavily over the last two years and continue to go backwards at a steady rate of knots.
Natte made the Grand Final last year - wanted new coach won 3 games - brilliant idea , apparently paid out more money this year and almost lost to Ararat say no more.
Pre Jmac Natte finished 8th – Jmac three years 3rd, 3rd, 2nd, now 7th
Back to there normal place on the ladder
Ararat - making little progress – their matches against Lexton and Natte next year will interrupt their regular thrashings.
The league should have a final four – the final five means 2 inept teams play finals.
The league desperately needs an injection of teams to give the top 3 a few more challenging games.
Nah final four would be crap IMO, having 5 finals contenders gives the top team of the h & a season time 2 rest up which is well deserving!
I'll agree with ya bout the jmac issue cos its obviously not his fault entirely, rokewood hav been doin it 4 years!
Central highlands teams would be a good inclusion in2 our league, except the VCFL wont let any of them leave bcos they think its such a good league! the likes of a beaufort, Learmonth, n Waubra from CHFL n a Tatyoon n SMW Rovers from MDFL would be ideal for travelling wise seems we pretty much pass them on the way to footy each week anyways!
Its also true bout tatyoon, they arnt really that good..the leagues standard is jus not 2 crash hot!
