Re: North Central Football League
Just a quick run down of the results.
Donald 20.16 to The Burn 15.14. Wedderburn have been so close yet so far this year. Lost quite a games by a fairly narrow margin
Wilkins kicked 9
Rose kicked 5
Birchip 16.9 to Boort 7.14. After the first quarter, Birchip 6.1 to Boort 1.6
Scambler kicked 7, Clifford Ryan 1
Tarek kicked 1
And Charlton 16.16 to St Arnaud 11.8 (hopefully Rock will give us a more indepth analysis)
St Arnaud kicking 8.3 in the 3rd but then failing to trouble the scorers in the last (2 pts)
B Walklate kicked 8
Needs kicked 6.

Re: North Central Football League
does anyone know what has happened to wedderburn new comer daniel fraser who seems to have been left out the last two weeks? have the people of wedderburn finally had enough and washed their hands free of fraser? maybe his line of work in cotton seems to have him all tied up.

Re: North Central Football League
Not sure on exact scores...
St Arnaud started slowly as they have many times this year, completely dominated the third, and fell away in the last to lose by about 5 goals.
Josh Finlay was KOed with a brilliant bump by debutante Sean Haddon, perfect bump, finlay ducked, and looked as if he tried to headbutt haddon, don't they teach you not to do that in Under 14's anymore? game stopped early, Finlay was taken to St A hospital, and i THINK he was transported onto Bendigo, personally, i dont think it would be appropriate to say what im thinking, but as far as football goes, i wish him a speedy recovery, hes one hell of a player for the Navies on his day
Walklate kicked 8, ben that is...has got a big decision to make, Footy or Badminton, has the ability to go a long way with both.
not making any excuses, but with Solyom out (Shoulder) and Sam Price out (flu, pretty bad case) and the ingame injuries to Brooks (hamstring, not sure how long hes out for) Atkinson (knee) wont play interleague... not worth the risk even if its 85% better...and Hando (3-4 weeks MINIMUM) along with P**S weak umpiring from one of the umpires (for example, over riding a decision in St Arnauds FP, from charltons side of the center circle...) "tackled with the ball" when a St Arnaud player WASN'T EVEN TACKLED...he still got the kick away to a target! these factors continue to haunt our club, and probably most others... 2 things should come out of this... umpires MUST be forced to be consistant...its up to mal and the head comittee to analyse the umpiring and do something about it........... and the umpires need to work out WHO is in control of the game... an umpire who is 100+ metres from the ball SHOULDN'T be able to overide that of an umpire no more than 10m away...
one more thing... boundary umpires for the senior matches need to be either trained, or atleast playing Under 16s...the throw ins seem to be getting smaller and smaller.... and too flat and hard....
My notes from the game...
Needs 6 goals for St Arnaud...still didn't handball
Walklake 8 goals, think he missed 1 too..
poorer than usual umpiring decisions (theyre pretty bad most the time, but this was worse)
Finlay TKO'd, perfect bump, if it was on film, would be perfect to show the U14's as a mould
Charlton win by 5 or so goals
St Arnauds best included needs, brearly, and boyington.
Reserves:
St Arnaud kicked a total of 4 goals in the first half, charlton kicked 8... in the 2nd half St Arnaud rolled right over charlton without any worries to win by about 7 goals...Ryss Swanton kicked 6-7 goals.. few minor melee's, notably 'rooboy' roughing up 5'4" Sam Coloe after being bumped by the lil guy. quite funny to watch actually, Andy would be one of the strongest in the league, if only he wasn't as soft as he is....but anyway, what would i know? i just played year in year out until illness stopped me from playing, and ive been watching it religiously ever since.
Up until half way through the 3rd quarter it looked like it was going to be a good game, but once St Arnaud left the 'reserves' style of footy behind, they were just too strong.
Under 16's.. St Arnaud too strong for charlton, with the usual case of St Arnaud having to give our players to the opposition (damn good for footy, gives the kids a game) Ian Moerman played well for Charlton (st Arnaud guy) and St Arnaud's best weren't far off what they usually are, with Gifford, Sibson, Pickthall, Goode all playing really well.
Under 14's...i missed most this game, charlton won, im not sure on the margin....apparently they had a 5 goal lead at qtr time, and St Arnaud chipped back to lose by about 2 goals? someone correct me if im wrong..
U can call my analysis biased if u want, but i can only write it the way i see it, and the way i seen it today, was exactly as i wrote...but eh, who else is making an effort to post something about the games they see...not too many

Re: North Central Football League
can't be bothered editing, so ill say it here... Chris Snell and Sean Haddon debued for St Arnaud in the 1's, both had good games on a personal level, if snelly was fit, would be devistating for the opposition, has a very strong mark, and a good reliable kick

Re: North Central Football League
Good work Roc always interesting to read your write ups of the match, good to see someone putting something down for us to read.
Sounds like St Arnaud will be looking forward to the interleague break, with a few injuries
Solyom shoulder? How is it? what is the time frame for his return?
I do agree with you about the standard of boundary umpires. Although i do feel sorry for them, cause obviously their isn't anyone else willing to do it.
Good to see the Saints loaning Charlton a few players for the day. Especially when it seems at the moment most sides in the NCFL are quite short in the U16's competition. Saves blokes missing out every weekend.

Re: North Central Football League
Yes, we are looking forward to the break, gives the guys a chance to freshen up, we have a tough few weeks ahead, with birchip, boort, donald, and wedderburn our next 4 games... should come out with 1 win, may well see an upset or 2 also, its just the way the game goes!
Soly's shoulder isn't too bad, could have played yesterday, but whats it worth? finals look out of reach, so its not worth playing a player who isn't 100% fit.
"no one else willing to do boundary" at our club, we have a roster put in place, with the added influence of match penalties if these aren't carried out. we have underagers and players that missed out doing under 14s waterboy...U 16's boundary is the midcarders of the U14s... and waterboys are a cpl of kids that do it every week, good on em! Reserves boundary is the Older U14s and Younger U16s, U14's supply the water.... and in seniors U 16's do boundary (depending on their ability to make correct decisions and their pace, throw-in arm...etc)
As far as loaning players goes, i think donald is the only side we don't lend players to...and dont get me wrong, these players we lend aren't our worst players, i think out of all the games that we have played so far, our loaned players have brought back an average of 2 awards per game... its just fabulous to see that sort of sportsmanship shown by donald and St Arnauds coaches...without footy, i don't want to think where some of these kids could be!

Re: North Central Football League
Birchip 16.9 Boort 7.14
Very physical encounter with Birchip targeting the 2 Picione brothers, however Both played well and were on top all day. There were Spot fires for most of the day which were silly and over nothing... Scambler was the difference i thought. Seemed as though he was playing across the Half forward line and pushing further up the field on occassions. He has the ability to kick goals from anywhere inside 60 metres.
Brad Ryan was good early however Boort shifted Mark Perryman to CHB and he stopped Ryan's influence.
Boort were playing with only 17 fit players midway through the 1st with David Armfield having to go off with a severe corked thigh and Aaron Wilson again troubled with his groins. Nathan Gooding was playing with a broken hand (took plaster off morning of game).
Birchip are a good running side and will be hard to beat on their day. With Boort's full side in they will give them a real shake.
Birchip need to invest in another helmet for Robbie Lee because it keeps coming off on every tackle laid on him, very annoying!!!!
Best for Boort: Plugger and Lance
Best for Birchip: Scambler

Re: North Central Football League
Ablett, I hear Sir Lancelot will not be partaking in interleague this weekend? If this is correct, do you know why he hasn't jumped at the opportunity to play a higher standard of footy than regular NCFL matches? He was complaining after the Kangas delisted him, saying he was still capable at the highest level.

Re: North Central Football League
Must be the same helmet he wore in the Wimmera in the early to mid 90s. His ability to groan loadly when tackled only magnifies the helmet coming off. He may have 'won' more head-high free kicks than any other VCFL player in histroy!

Re: North Central Football League
When the heat was on, Donald's more experienced line-up won out. Donald's best were Rhodes - who completely shut down Wburn FF Hutton all day and had plenty of quality possessions, Clark - who's cleverness won him plenty of uncontested ball, and Wilkins - who kicked nine in a dominant display against an inexperienced defence.
Wedderburn's best were DeAruago - could have kept them in it constantly running forward from the midfield but couldnt convert, Connors - battled hard all day unchanged in the midfield with DeAruago and Turnbull, and Rose - who fought off a heavy tag all day to have plenty of touches and kicked 5-6 goals.
Wedderburn were very good in patches but couldnt perform consistently. Donald were too strong, experienced, polished. Redbacks didnt seem to have an option for Wilkins who played on young kids all day and was far too smart. Could have finished with 12-13 but kicked inaccurately at stages.

Re: North Central Football League
In my opinion Ben DeArugo was best on ground even though they lost. How this bloke cannot get in the interleague squad is an absoloute joke.. Another bloke who went well was G.Connors who racked up 31 kicks and 7 handballs and is also making the interleague selectors look stupid for not being in the squad by being in the best again and proving to be one of the leagues quality midfielders.
For donald rhodes was best by far. Kept Hutton to 1 kick and 1 handball.
Clark although opposed to DeAraugo was damaging and L.Funcke and S.Fraser were among the others in the best.

Re: North Central Football League
3-4 weeks, if it was me, id be making sure i made sure i stayed out for the full 3-4 weeks, at that age, and with the potential as a big strong backman that he has, its not worth the risk.
personally, hes not one that would say make the senior side in a stronger club, but you also have to remember that he is only in his first year out of under 16s, and has alot of improving yet to come, they say from 21-25 is the best years you will have as a footballer, if he works on his fitness a little bit more, (hes not far off the mark at the moment) and really trains his heart out, he will make one of the clubs best backmen for sure.
thats his potential, now as far as his form goes, its been a bit hard to judge, cuz hes missed just so much football, not going too bad though

Re: North Central Football League
I can't be bothered reading through all the pages and match reports but read a while back that Scambler was on of the early picks for 'Feeny' (I assume thats your comp b&f?). How's he been going. Played against his old club (Uni Blues) a few weeks back and they really seem to be missing him.He was a dangerous player across HF/Wing in a super side.

I would say that Birchip-Watchem is very close to being 99% local. Unless I'm mistaken Ben Coloe and Darren Colville are the only two players who don't currently live in Birchip or Watchem or are from Birchip originally.
