The Gumby comment was regarding the certainty of traf making the granny, given the strength of the comp etc. Not to add the difficulty of making a GF alone. How can anyone be certain about this at all. Crazy talk if you ask me. But yes they're good etc, but a def granny is silly comment. You can also add the Gumby comment to your last post if you like. Newb should be strong no doubt, but as we keep saying the comp tightens up and everybody gets more certain about things. It should be the other way round. The comp get better and the more unsure people become about top 5. By the way to finish top 3 you have to win a certain amount of games, including beating last years top 3, so technically overtaking Traf Mirboo or Boolarra, which might i add each had over ten goal wins during the season when defeating newb. Not saying they'r not gonna be good, they may even get the top spot who knows. But a certainty is again a silly comment.
Back on ladder stuff. Mirboo may just take over, this wouldnt be a surprise and traf will be traf. From what I heard at Boolarra there list needed talls n they
might just have them so shouldnt they get stonger. And with Jock going. The games i saw in the finals Mat D didnt even start in the mid, so maybe he can fill that loss of Jock i'd say. So that is my analysis of why it may be harder than people think for Newb to automatically jump into a top 3 position.

Would like to a Yinnar push up there and I think with there list last staying together mainly for another year should create a stronger group, so it wouldnt surprise me if they mixed it with newb and even became a better side.

All you've done is state the obvious and tried to cover your bases so you're right. I'm prepared to tip what I believe will happen in 2012 even if it doesn't happen. Why don't you put all your theory bullshit into practice and gives us your thoughts on how 2012 will pan out? You give your thoughts on why I'm wrong, so you tell us all what's going to happen!

Do you have a diploma in stating the obvious? All you did was dish up hypotheticals, we can all do that. For you to say Traf playing in this years GF is an outlandish statement is a putrid call from you. You make it sound as tho I said East will play in the GF:eek:!It's not as scientific as you make it. Newb will oust Boolarra for a top 3 spot. You put your ladder up against mine and if I'm wrong well so be it.

It's called common sense, Gumby! Dogs finished 4th and you can now add 4 'quality' recruits which will see them a certain top 3. They'll have the best ruckmen in the league or on par as the best ruckmen in the comp with Webb. Traf lost no one and gained a quality player, possibly two.

Boolarra have lost the best 'in close' player but hasn't filled that void. Will be a bigger loss than people imagine! Hillmen and YYN will be the strongest they've been for years and will make teams 'earn' their victory. East are just to much of an unknown, impossible to gauge. Only teams you can write off are Thorpy and Yarra. Apparently those clubs have been getting 8/10 to training but I stand to be corrected.

Either way a very interesting season ahead:thumbsu:.

Baysixandahalf pipe down! You're embarassing the club. There is a few rumors about losses for Traf, but until round 1 hits no one knows for sure.

Also I couldn't agree more about the hype surrounding the dogs. If we backtrack one year and remember how much Yinnar had going for them until they actaully played. They had a very good roster but couldn't perform. Will this happen with the dogs? I don't know.

Traf will be up there again don't you worry about that. But do not expect an underfeated (nearly :mad:) season like last year.

Ladder:
TRAF
MN
BOO
NEW
YIN

YYL
ME
YAR
HE
THO

This will most likely dramatically change within the first couple of weeks though. VERY hard to pick this year. Exciting though :thumbsu:
 
I agree hillend finshed just out the finals in 6th beat everyone except traf and mirboo beat boolarra, pushed boolarra all the way at boolarra. they were just inconsistint last year and with mutke,town,horton there pretty handy pick ups, you be happy if you were hillend. there going in the right way not going backwards got to give them some credit. well over due for them to be up and about good on them too.

Ok, so i will give you my prediction again, as i did earlier but one more time won't hurt. As for covering my bases, what are you smoking, just because I don't give certainties of who I think will be in a GF after 19 plus rounds of tight matches, U call that covering my bases> Everybody with a brain on this thread would agree that there is arrogance here from you, the same as people speak about the arrogance from Traf players. Must be a player I suspect. Maybe read your post and compare them to a "Tip" as you would say. Its not tipping if your claiming Traf "will" be in the GF this year. Thats no tip or hunch thats arrogance and dumb football science. Maybe re-jig your statements to traf is so F#@king good I love traf etc etc and they have a sick team that should make the grany surely. Get my drift, then maybe every cat on this site wouldn't hate you straight off the bat. But do like some posts you have put earlier.

Traf -- Too good too much experience

Mirboo-- Same deal dominant ruckman plus return of good players

Boolarra-- A building year last and won GF, plus kept most, need talls etc, Plus MD wont be stopped

Newb--- Could easily go higher with all the spec. Were 6-8 players of consistently rolling with the big boys. If they get them they'll be competing against a top 3 that has majority same list and another year together, plus tough games against those building clubs from last year. Clever post earlier they need the right mix etc.

Yinnar-- Couple handy inclusions, plus different coach which they lacked last year. A year on with talented list, hard to stop good ruck and VISS.

Yall--- Should be challenging all above teams but will need 6 plus, few talls and couple hungy nuts, they have enough classy players to really push if they get above players but league will advance and they will find it hard.


Hills --- need a 10 plus qualities. Enormous losses to good team last, and league advancing etc.

That is my predict,

All extra players that i said for each team is so they can compete with the top teams not just move up a couple spots on ladder (Hillend need 10plus to compete with traf etc)

The rest is much of a muchness.

Yarra to finish above Hills, cant see that happening.

However Yarra had a sh#t load of tight games including two against traf one against Mirboo and two against Boolarra, one against Yinnar. So this prediction isn't as Crazy as everyone says. Dont think Hills did that last year.
 
First part of your post was nothing short of a cyber rant. I love how you're trying really hard to become the resident football intellect, but it won't wash with me, mental pigmy!

So I 'predict' Traf will finish top, you then say it's not a tip it's arrogance. Then you go ahead and tip Traf top. You're not good at this are you, but you keep trying.

PS....I tipped Yinnar to finish 5th being told they were getting a couple from Traralgon, but that's not happenning now. Can't decide between YYN or Hillmen for 5th.

Listen champ, u can't write GF certainty appearances this
Time of year ( as you did earlier), anyone will tell you that, the dig was not about finishing top (if you read it properly) it's about pencelling a GF appearance in feb, which speaks for itself, so that's what it was about, and
No not trying to be an interlect, just doing the numbers, Traf lost one game last year, so think a ****** can predict
Traf for top, as I did.

Question?
Games i watched Traf, Farrell was league above kyra but people still rated kyra super high, I think farrel is one the best mids in comp n kyra didn't appear to be in Trafs best at all. Thoughts?

Does Dane Swan get best on when having 30 pos a game? The answer is No. The leadership he shows to those young traf boys is one of his key aspects.

Alot of banter going on on this thread. Quite a good read/laugh.

Pluggaroo, quick question for you? Do you get paid to reply to threads on big footy?

Also my opinion of Newborough, good pick ups but would have to gel. We all know what has happened in the past there in regards to players girlfriends.

My top 5.

Traf- been dominant for the last 4 years and still have young team.
Boolara- reigning champions and seem to have the right mix.
Newb- were there and there abouts last year, handy pick ups this year.
Mirbo- classy outfit when everyone is playing, getting old though.
Cannot pick a fifth. That's where the competition will be close. Could be anyone from East to Hillman to Rockys to yinnar. Deffinately will not be Yarragon.

Well if you knew anything about football u'd understand that Kyra's bar is set higher than Farrell's (for now anyway). So obviously Kyra has to do more to get in the best. Farrell will be a star just like some of his relations have been for the club.

Oh and dill.........I can say in Feb that Traf will play in the GF because it's a tip ,clowns bum. Why don't I tell you that you can't tip a top 5 because it's Feb and you're being ridiculous? Reason why I won't tell you that is because that's your 'tip', comprehend?

I agree. Farrell is much better than Kyra. Farrell is top 5 in the league I think. Kyra REALLY disapointed in last years GF, but so did alot of the boys.

Don Webb IMO is the most valuable player in the league, if I was picking an interleugue squad, he would be first pick. Getting on a bit though now.

My comment about Kyra wasn't relating to hyp of his leadership (which I have personally seen and believe he is top leader for Traf). I was referring to peoples opinion of his ability and he generaly pols in league votes because he is a top player. My thoughts on games that I saw was that Farrel was many steps aboe Kyra but I didnt hear that many people talking about him. I actually saw a couple game where opposition would tag Kyra and then have to swap because Kyra was quiet and Farrel was tearing everyone in half.
Outside opinion> Farrel seemed to have more ability than Kyra and less hype. Both very good players though.

I was simply stating Kyra has a higher expectation on him. Inregards to Kyra being tagged he fails big time! Kyra can't handle a tag and usually moves to an offensive HBF. Now that we have Grima, he becomes the offensive HBF (cheap kick getter). Think you may find those pair will be swapping off a HBF into the middle. If we're going to be honest both aren't genuine midfielders.

Grima adds another running option to an already pacey team. Don't for one minute think I'm the President of the Chris Kyriacou fan club. He has good fresh ideas and new ideas (combined with Burgo's). When it comes cruch time will Kyra be able to stand tall and leed with physicality..........time will tell I guess.

I'm really keen to find out if YYN picked up a tall over pre season?? Kenny might know??

I'll take Matt Dyer by the distance he travels from Geelong to Boolarra
 
I really think the only new recruit that will do well for newbrough is Chris Hancock the rest won't do much kenno with his dodgy shoulders risol coming back from a knee reco will be hard and payne is really just a lazy player probably never train and always injured.

I'm hearing YYN will be plodders again this year. Not much changes up at that dump. Spermy Cheffers is finally playing his last year and Newb have spent well over their intended budget!

3 teams in it and rest are simply making up the numbers...........

Traf
Newb
Mirboo

The rest have no hope, none.

PS......hope Yarra win the spoon hahaha

PPS......Big Karl will kick a 1000gls

Yepo agree totally. Kyra didnt react well when being tagged. Prob be a better option for him to attack off half back, Grimmer should be a good inclusion and he will probably play better footy for traf. I did like a skinny runner type playing in the mids, think it was 22 he seemed to win the ball and compliment Farrels game style.

Agree with earlier post, D Webb first pick the obvious MD then a Farrel or smog/ peters, and a A power forward Trail or Towt or small Holdsworth, defenders would start with attacking blokes in Bents (mirboo) Etc. Having said that with D Webb for first pick, I did see both finals where Webb tried his hardest and played well but Blokes like MD took the ball straight out of the middle, so how important is a ruckman when they compete against gun mids. Think i'll start with picking good mids first. The best ruckman in the league couldn't get that gun side past a prelim after two tries, and seemed to get outran by the younger Boolarra ruckman leys.
 
Is it safe to say that this season is the strongest the MGFL has been in years, if ever??

With such quality players running around for so many different teams surely this will change the way people from other leagues look at the MGDL and even entice more quality players.

:cool:
