Lexton Plains Football League

[The_Predators]

Good to see most teams generally rating themselves to be strong chance of being sucessful in 2008. I hope the competition strengthens that little bit more and all teams are capable on putting in a winning performance on any given day. I think we are going to see C/L and skipton set the bar high early in the year, Rokewood and Natte to fight it out for that ever important third place and then back to Lexton, Navarre and Illabarook to fight it out for the fifth position on the ladder.

Who are we thinking for league B&F and goal kicking awards?

I think that the goal kicking will be close this year with some teams getting handy forwards I'd say it will be between C/L forward J.Porter and Skiptons T.Mckay cause every year it seems to be thoughs two at the top of the leader board. And the best and fairest i think will be Big Ben Martin from Navarre who won his leagues best and fairest for stawall warriers so thats my opinion.

 

[Thoroughbred]

How are sides looking from post to post this year. Natte will be something like:

FB: N. Ross
HB: A. Ross
CL: S. Ross
HF: C. Jardine
FF: J. Evans

 

[chokewood1]

Jade Keam for C/L to win B+f
James McNamee for goalkicking

 

[ITCHYGROIN]

Have to agree chokewood, Jade Keam from what i have heard is a very classy player and is Wearing the famous number 3 much Judd alike
Ports to win the goal kicking again with 111 goals..

 

[SIRSAINT]

Not long to go gents all questions will be answered after round 1.

 

[Tex_21]

Thinking Benny Martin is a contender for b&f, with Mcnamee a good chance at the goal kicking

** LATE FIXTURE CHANGE Round 1 – Carngham Linton FC V’s Natte Bealiba FNC game moved to Linton Rec Reserve


Pls note, that after much discussion today between the Lexton Plains FNL, the Carngham Linton FNC and the Natte Bealiba FNC, that the Round 1 Fixture between the Carngham Linton FNC and the Natte Bealiba FNC has been moved from Austar Arena (Northern Oval) where it was a fixtured Night game, and will be moved back to Linton Rec Reserve – where it will obviously become a “normal” day game and will revert to normal starting times.

After further discussion and investigation today, it was agreed that the “Monster Truck” event that will be held at the Ballarat Showgrounds (adjoining Austar Arena) would prove to an “extreme distraction” – and that the extreme high noise levels, fireworks, etc expected from the Monster Truck event would make it very difficult for supporters, umpires and players if the game was to proceed at Austar Arena.

The LPFNL does apologise for this late fixture change, but we do believe that this is the correct decision and the most responsible course of action.

well thats a bit of a bugger. Also ive noticed natte have thrown a few clearences in trying to get them in time for round 1

 

[ITCHYGROIN]

Word has it that big JIMMA RAYNOR ie THE FERRET is flying on the track. He shunted PRINGA in an intra club practice match huge hit young gun PRINGA lost feeling in both legs for two days, Keep up the good work Ferret. LOOK OUT LPFL THE FERRET IS HUNTING.
Doctors report on Pringa is everything is ok can now kick an extra 20 meters on both sides. The COOT is in for another big year INTERLEAGUE wingman so fellow compeditors BEWARE..
THE SAINTS ARE COMMING.

 

[derekbigears]

Rokewood & its recruits ready to fire for round 1 match vs Illabrook!!!
Should win very comfortable.
Tips for the top 5: Carngham
Rokewood
Skipton
Natte
Illabrook

Good game at Linton with Natte unlucky to go down to Linton in a tight contest at Linton. If only the players from Carngham had of turned up it could have been a more of a one sided contest. It was almost like watching the Grenville cricket grand final with only the Linton half turning up. On a positive note Good to see Travis Grigg made the most out of his 3 possesions and obviously C/Linton is spending their money wisely. Aaron Kerr in the reserves had a great return to the club kicking 2 great goals from limited opportunities. Gives credence to the old custom of paying maggooo's players as well.

Skipton Defeated Lexton in extremely close game at Skipton that could of gone either way. Lexton early lead but failed to kick many goals after quarter time. Even contest though with both teams impressive

Any news from the Navarre - Ararat game, the scores are a lot closer than most would have predicted with all Navarres gun pick ups.

 

[orion21]

Navarre jumped to a 6 goal lead in first qrt. Only out scored eagles by 8 points for the next 3 qrts. navarre are going to be ok but when the young eagles hit back hard 2nd qrtr sum of the BIG recruits didnt like it tough and went missing. Big fella price for navarre is a man mountain at FF

Yes Orion he is a big bloke , but Hank and Doc more than had his measure.

I read with interest on the MDFL forum that the league is struggling, with up to 5 teams not having enough numbers to field reserves, and the fact a few of their clubs are looking at joining the LPFL in 2009.


Just wanted to report Wella, all teams in the mininera filled reserves teams over the weekend which is good to see.

Was at Linton on Saturday and I would say from what I saw that both teams will be right in the mix at the business end Pay Out. Pretty even contest with C/L playing their best footy with a man down due to a send off. C/L probably have more improvement in them, especially when you consider the scores in the two's - Natte didn't even kick a goal so there is a question over depth. The ones ran the ball well but, and look quick which might worry a few sides. This week against Skipton will give a better indication I would think.

look alrite i was writing them off but they played well and showed spirit in the last quarter twice regaining the lead after carnham took it and u could say natte were the better team for most of the game but carnham took it in the end and will b a strong force in 08

 

[Big_Chill]

Just looking through the tipping and betting to see what everyone thinks. Most of the Carngham people on here are going with Natte to down Skipton this week. I think they surprised us all when they came out and played the way they did against good opposition. With their quality recruits, and more to come (heard on the grape vine) I imagine they will be top 3 again.

Are we all writing off the side that only lost three games last year? Whats the story with McKay not playing... Is he off feild coaching this year?

Anyway this week should be good to see where everyone is at. Lexton v Navarre, Natte v Skipton, Illabrook v Carngham & Ararat v Rokewood will show who are the contenders and who are the pretenders. I think we might see a few blow outs. Looks like a good year ahead though!

Illabarook players are T Connor, B Ketchen, B Williams and S Tung.
I know Waters was the coach of last years premiers, but I think they should pick a coach still connected to a LPFL club!
Any thoughts on this?
