Most of the talk from last week directed at Hberg (rightfully so) but Mont rolled Eltham by 50 points on the weekend. I tipped them for the spoon going alright at 2-0.
It's not a 10 goal advantage but teams do struggle to adjust to that dung hill they call a senior ground.
I'm not sure if this has been brought up before about the fixture, however, I've only just realised that we wont have all teams on even games until Round 15 when West Preston & Heidelberg eventually have their bye for the Round 1 fixture. It's a bit ridiculous
Also Macleod playing Heidelberg Round 2 and again in Round 7 - why is that ? Why can't all teams play each other once before the return bout ?

Agree, just another NFL illogical decision (which is the same as their indecisions they consistently do not make)
If it was so important that WPL and Heid play so early why was that not round 1 and fixture fixed?
Like who pls?
Nah go on, you seem to know all the players who we regularly play and shouldn't get a game. Please tell me who these so called players are and why you believe they shouldn't be picked? I'm interested to hear your thoughts.
Lol can't even name one player.
So you still don't know any of the players??
How were they lucky to beat Greensborough? Don't follow Eltham but just curious as to how you think they got lucky.
We had 2 players who were over 30 years old in our seniors in the team against Mont.
Luck can play a big part in football so I'm happy to be 1-1 going in to round 3.
I don't believe we will be playing off for a flag this year but it am very confident in staying up.
You seem to have spent a lot of time studying our playing list, you must have a vented interest in Eltham?
Mont won round one by three points so perhaps they were lucky?

Isn't big footy the place to name players behind the safety of an alias?
On another topic. How are Bundoora looking with their new recruits? They were my tip for the flag but what happened on Saturday, did they play bad or Whitt play well?
Hey pencil neck; all that was said that it's a difficult ground to play on. CHF/CHB is pretty much null and void. Depth will be Monts downfall this year considering they named 17 players on the reserves team sheet last week.

I think thats a bit harsh Denny, its been a factor for many years now that clubs can organise special games on different weekend. Its not NFL arranged its club arranged all the NFL have ensured is that everyone plays each other twice and 9 home games each.
like the
and what's with the 4 home games in a row for Eltham ? Not great fixturing

May seem harsh but with the debacle in leadership that they are showing with the U19 issues and the simplistic way fixturing is (ask Clubs for wishes, ensure if both clubs agree fit in....then ensure everyone plays twice home and away) I think its rather fair.
Agree, from what I hear that was a Eltham request asking for the 20th May to be a home game (with Bundoora agreeing) due to pre-organising a large Breast Cancer Day to raise money for the charity (150 tickets sold so worthy day). Again instead of making one of the other games an away game somehow they fixture four home games in a row, yes it all evens out in regards to home and away games played but in the interest of fairness as much as possible home and away each week cannot be that hard to figure out.
only one way to fix it.put ya hand up and take over as you have all the answers.King Denny

Correct weight hfc, denny pulled a hammy and going anywhere near a keyboard was not part of his rehab. He let all us tipsters down badly.
