Re: North Central Football League
"Mental Cracks" from what i understood, he was "mentally exhausted" with footy... thus my comment on when he is "mentally ready" (Ie, when he wants to)
as for Ciurleo, ive spoken to him quite a few times, and the way i understood it, is that he wants to return, but there are some people telling him not to... Im all for a return, however before he does, he needs to trust his ankle. it was a major injury, but its been a couple of years hasn't it?
Its nice to see he has his priorities in the right place
he has a good group of kids to work with, and results are starting to show...

Re: North Central Football League
Seeing as though the first lot of rounds has passed it would be good to get everyone's opinion on each senior team (So far this year).
1. Strengths/Weaknesses.
2. Better players.
3. Injury Report.
4. What to expect in the next rounds.
Wedderburn:
Charlton:

Re: North Central Football League
Wedderburn:
1. Strengths/Weaknesses. Strenghths would be Stenhouse, got a great FF, with great Hands, and a good kick. Their main weakness, is the inability to find alternate routes to goal... From what i can gather, they seem to be a tad TOO Stenhouse concious. Benny Rose on the other hand, runs well, and i can only presume the goals he gets, come on the run. A couple more "Ben Rose" type players would strengthen their premiership chances considerably.
2. Better players. Rose, D Benaim, Stenhouse
4. What to expect in the next rounds. Wedderburn will be hoping to continue their run as they have so far, they will be working hard to make their game plan, fool proof. I believe an upset is on the cards, because of how concious they are of Stenhouse, but im sure they will be working on it
Charlton:
1. Strengths/Weaknesses. Their Speed for sure, Finlay, Judd, added to this, the technical and tactical brilliance of Rick Andrews, I believe these guys SHOULD be flag favorites. They have got themselves an alternate route to goal, in Sullivan, and they utilise their pace very well up forward.
2. Better players. Andrews, Finlay, Judd, Hill. Thompson. These 5 are keys to the success of the Navies
4. What to expect in the next rounds. More pace, and improving skills. ive been informed that a great percentage of "track work" at training is baased on pressure situations, which will greatly benefit this young, quick side.
Boort:
1. Strengths/Weaknesses. Very Good Defence, and strong Midfield.
2. Better players. Craig Ruts, A Cooney, Perryman
4. What to expect in the next rounds. Boort will be looking to recover from a few losses on the trot, however unlike last year, any side (with the exception to maybe Donald at the moment) can beat them.
B/W:
1. Strengths/Weaknesses. STrength - Pace, ability to find Ryan.... Weaknesses - They are too Ryan Concious, and if he was to go down with injury, they would miss him dearly. They do have players, such as Jake Noonan, who can play up forward, but in turn, that would obviously cause a gap at CHB (where noonan is playing currently) With the exception of Scambler, they generally dont have any alternate routes to goal, on a regular basis.
2. Better players. Scambler, Ryan, J Noonan, Z Holmes, Colville
4. What to expect in the next rounds. Birchip will be looking to resurrect their year, after starting the season as "the hot topic of conversation" They did look the goods.
StA:
1. Strengths/Weaknesses. Experienced Forward Line, Improving Midfield, Weakness being the Backline, but with Ezard slotting in nicely, its on the improve. This week will be his first real test, as we take on the forever attacking, Wedderburn
2. Better players. Drum, Brearley, Solyom, Needs, Lloyd, Ezard
3. Injury Report. Gifford - Ankle, not sure on details, or how major the injury is
4. What to expect in the next rounds. Its going to be tough, with Wedderburn, Birchip (bye) Charlton being the next 3 games, but i think we can get 4 wins, from the next 6 (Charlton and Birchip being the toughest of the games)
W/N:
1. Strengths/Weaknesses. Pace is a big strength, their main weakness would probably be their Depth/Experience.
2. Better players. Allan, Turner
4. What to expect in the next rounds. Wyche only need an ever so tiny sniff of finals, and they will find a way in. They (along with St Arnaud) could push up towards the 3rd and 4th spot, if things go right
Donald:
2. Better players. Wyatt, Funcke, Jones, Beckham
4. What to expect in the next rounds. Donald will be looking to start their season from here, as players come back into the mix. They should pick up a win or few between now and the end of the season, with Wyche, St Arnaud, and Boort games all well and truly winnable. they will struggle against Wedderburn, Charlton and Birchip/Watchem.

Re: North Central Football League
W/N: i think the only real injurie the demons have to worrie about at teh min is taco's thumb should be back after the bye, alot of the young blokes will be back in wyche on holidays, beter numbers on the training track allowing every one gel together a little more.

Re: North Central Football League
Fair calls Roc. I think they had midfielders kicking goals last year. Dearaugo and Connors seemed to kick goals most weeks and with Connors having left and Dearaugo down on form a bit they dont have that this year. Michael Tonkin is improving and while he's not really a goal kicker he could easily kick a bag if Stenhouse is kept quiet. Ritchie is in the same boat. Its hard to judge where they're at compared to previous years but it looks as though they've still got improvement in them. Still a few of their key blokes not playing their best footy.

Re: North Central Football League
look back at 2005, make three or so changes, including connors and bigmore in, and all of a sudden, they are strengthened big time... with 2 extra ways to goal.

Re: North Central Football League
MASTER OF ROCK 'N Roll --- going back to what was asked a couple of pages back.
St Arnaud any chance of beating W'burn this Sat ?? The Reddies have a big book launch and a reunion of past players/officials on the day. You would think the Lockhart team would be pretty pumped up, but you would have a better idea than most about St Arnaud's chances, hence I suppose the question on that earlier page.
BTW, Robert Steel was on radio last night talking about the Wedderburn function. It's an all weekend job by the sounds of it.

Re: North Central Football League
Ciurleo should concentrate on coaching the two's and winning the flag. Potential is potent in the St.Arnaud two's with a mix of young and older players. I have too spoken to coach Tom Hafey ( Ciurleo ) MOR, even though he thinks he can play again, some say he may be past it? But if he can get up over the injury and get his hands on the footy early the word from the saints is that we may see him elevated to senior ranks if the saints keep up there winning roll!"Mental Cracks" from what i understood, he was "mentally exhausted" with footy... thus my comment on when he is "mentally ready" (Ie, when he wants to)
as for Ciurleo, ive spoken to him quite a few times, and the way i understood it, is that he wants to return, but there are some people telling him not to... Im all for a return, however before he does, he needs to trust his ankle. it was a major injury, but its been a couple of years hasn't it?

Re: North Central Football League
as far as him being "past it" well, theres only one way to find out. With the injuries to Dixon, Gifford, and Young Nick Smiths tonsilitis, theres a few places up for grabs. one would almost have to be big walshy, who (if he trains) will be a handy asset down back. "Hafey" could even push for another of the spots made available, to give him a week to "see how it goes" before the all important (even though they all are) match with Birchip, who are undefeated.
As far as him playing in the 1's... with and only with, a bit of Match time, and form, he would be a reasonable replacement for the likes of Cua, should he be unavailable.

Re: North Central Football League
MOR this is crap... they are definetely not too consious of Stenthouse, infact the delivery from the midfield in the last month or so has been poor... Stenthouse kicks goals because he is a freak and if he happens to have a quiet day (which he has showed no signs of) then the Burn have a number of players that can step up... Richie, Peace, Rose, Tonkin, Barnes can all kick goals... But wedderburns backlne is also strong, with Baird the inform Full Back (now that cooney is injured) aswell as pologlase and D.Benaim running it out...ALSO....does anyone remember Matt Sutherland, from 2005, rumour has it he will be returning to the burn sometime this season...

Re: North Central Football League
They wont get close to Birchip 2's. Too strong and have heaps of depth. Two young players back into the middle this week after missing last week will strengthen the team immensely. Far too strong for the others in my opinion...

St Arnaud vs Weddurburn- 60 points
Boort vs Donald- 100 points
Charlton vs Birchip- 5 points
Well thats my tips for this weeks upcoming games. Weddurburn far to fast for St Arnaud and i'd say they would have been working on there delivery all week, so stenhouse to kick 13. Boort to come out off the blocks fast and smash donald, C rutley back to his best and a big game from Batram, Whitey and Reid. Im tippin the upset Birchip to just get the points in a hard fought game

Thats alot more goals coming from the Midfield. Basically what i was referrring to, is that if Wedderburn could move, even so slightly, towards that style, then their Premiership Chances would increase rather dramatically.
They have a "freak" FF at the moment, and good on them, they are using him well...they currently don't put into practise, any other "real" routes to goal. This could well become costly in games against the likes of Charlton, who have a very handy all round side.
im NOT saying they should become "charlton #2" as such, but if they could attempt to use a style, to an extent, similar to charltons (along with Stenhouse) they would be a much more dominant side, and VERY hard to beat.
