Bosco, maybe if you did some research, you would understand how he puts the top 10 together. What, you been on the site for about 3 days, & you start by slagging blokes off left right & centre. If there is a jock stain, you sir, are it!

well said! Here It Is, it may be an idea that you post something on how the votes are done so we don't have a repeat of all the bull.shit that went on last in regard to it.

Without seeing Jacob Ryan play the votes suggest that he must really be tearing sides apart. It will be interesting to see how he shapes up against Wang and Yarra in the coming 2 rounds with both sides having very good on ball devisions and wether the absence of Raines will have an effect

 

[flagpie]

why would i do research when i can get a nerd like yourself to tell me.

You've joined Big Footy with all guns blazing haven't ya Bosco??

I'd be interested to see your Top 10 in comparison to Here It Is'?

Or is it just easier to remain nameless and faceless and take cheap shots at people prepared to do something to create a bit of discussion??

 

[KokodaMidget]

Yeah, heaps easier.

Bosco, you haven't spent the last few years with Carl Williams have you, because clearly those drugs are messin with your head.

 

[Wiggum]

Who does these votes, absolutley pathetic. How can McCormick be in that list he is as soft as butter and is a tool of a bloke. Marcus McMillan should be way out in the lead, he is a gun. saw him play a game a couple of weeks ago kicked i think 10 goals and had atleast 20 touches, never seen anybody have the ball on a string like that. From memory it was a wet day aswell.

Yeah tool is a word which comes to mind for sure Bosco. Who do you think you are potting blokes from the safety of your computer chair? McCormick is far from soft (never loses his feet) and is a great bloke. Shows a lot more character than your cowardly ways....

Sounds like a good idea hammer.

The points are indeed given on the best players as they appear in The Border Mail, with weighting given to the result of the game as follows:

If the match is a draw - both teams best five players score 10,8,6,4,2
If the margin is 1-9 points - winners get 10,8,6,4,2; losers get 9,7,5,3,1
If the margin is 10-29 points - winners get 10,9,6,5,2; losers get 8,7,4,3,1
If the margin is 30-59 points - winners get 10,9,8,4,3; losers get 7,6,5,2,1
If the margin is 60-99 points - winners get 10,9,8,7,6; losers get 5,4,3,2,1
If the margin is 100+ points - winners get 10,9,8,7,6,5; losers get 4,3,2,1

 

[harsh. but fair]

The winners today are Yarrawonga, Wangaratta, North Albury, Albury and wait for it, WODONGA RAIDERS!!!!!!

 

[Bright Boy]

Looks like the Saints find a goal kicker with Arnold with 7 and keep Fowler to 2 with L Chapman in the best, yet still get smashed by 8 goals.

Crucial game against the Rovers next week.

Good reply by the Hoppers minus their coach against the Panthers.

The Magpies continue on their way, with their recruits in the best.

C'mon Raider Boy give us the rundown on the game and post-match celebrations.

Arnold played a great game with 7 and Beams had it on a string. Can anyone tell me why Jock McFarlane is playing in the middle and Carey and Fitzpatrick are playing up forward? I thought they would have been there top few mid fielders

 

[Clean Bowled]

Carey is carrying an injury I'm told and can't go a whole game in the midfield, Fitzpatrick is a good honest player who had plenty of support in previous years which made him a more effective player. His skills by foot are average, the coach's days as a midfielder maybe numbered.

C'mon Raider Boy give us the rundown on the game and post-match celebrations.

A very good even first half with Rovers going to the break leading by 8 points. The second half saw Raiders kick 11 goals to 3 and go onto a good and much needed win. Raiders were best served by Adam Cusworth (4 goals) Jarrod Gorupic, Peter Cook (4 Goals) Mark Doolan (4 Goals) and the Corcoran brothers. Also Justin Kahlefeldt playing his first Senior game with the club was very constructive and finished with 3 goals.

The celebrations were looked after by the Wodonga Demons 20th anniversary players and officials yesterday so you can imagine there was a huge amount of support from the members gallery during the game and well into the night.

One win doesn't make a season so it will be back on the track as usual on Monday night in preparation for Lavington next week.

Shouldn't the question be - if McFarlane does not play in the middle, where can he play??? The other's have another string to their bow.

 

[half time raffle]

Can someone tell me why Corowa/Rutherglen only have 1 rep in the inter league side. They have been very competitive (apart from the weekend) against the better sides. I understand the no traveller policy (which would account for two players), but they beat Wodonga and Wodonga has six players named. I don't know if Bence has issue with the Corowa/Rutherglen football club, but one rep is a slap in the face i would think.

 

[Clean Bowled]

I think you are onto something, raffle.

Which other players do you think should be in the squad? (I'm pretty sure i read schmitt was the only one in). They may be melbourne based players, Bence has said they would not be included due to them not being able to attend training sessions. Otherwise Ryan and Raines would no doubt be in the squad.

I wouldv'e thought 3 or 4 representatives from a mid-table team would've been reasonable. If some of those players are ruled out because of the no traveller rule then so be it. Can't see too many of their locals who are worthy of a spot ahead of the blokes that are in there.

Maybe thats the problem, the league seems very good at rating the players that have come into the league e.g. the jackson brothers and not really rating their own home grown tallent. Raines went down in the first 10 minutes of corowa versus wodonga game and whilst Jake Ryan played a great game he certainly didn't win it by himself. So this corowa team with only one rep player beat a wodonga side with six, i think Bence is playing favorites.

 

[Clean Bowled]

For what it is worth I reckon Mick Collins is worthy of being in the squad at least and would benefit from being exposed to the inter-league scene.
Maybe Bence hasn't got over Corowa-Rutherglen beating Wodonga in the 2003 grand final when the Roos came from fifth to knock them off.

 

[Falkroo]

Can anyone give us report on the Saints v Tigers match, have seen the newspaper, but which Tiger had 7 kicked on him, interested to find out considering they dropped one of there steadier backman for the match.

 

[THE CEO]

I would have thought that the reason the league rates the imports as you call it, is that generally they are key position players that are extremely good at what they do and come with a reputation.

So if you were on the interleague selection panel (and yes there is a panel not just Bence - although he may be the figurehead) then provided that they can turn up to training, wouldnt you want to pick the gun players for all positions if you have the chance?

If i was a Corowa supporter I would be looking at it as a backhanded compliment. You have a team who is able to be extremely competitive without the need for a lot of outside talent.

But i guess Sunday against Yarra will tell.

 

[big fella 37.5]

can anyone tell me how wangaratta are going under the radar so much, i no the whole OM competition favours the albury wodonga clubs, but the wang side has won its five games against some pretty good teams (nth, corowa) and by good margins yet they are hardly rated???

Interested to know in what way you think Wang are "going under the radar" ? Most O&M followers rate Wang as a clear 2nd favourite for the flag behind Yarra, so I'm not sure what under the radar means. If you are talking coverage in the Border Mail then of course they don't get as much exposure as the Albury/Wodonga clubs,it is an Albury/Wodonga publication after all, just as Lavi & Nth don't get much of a run in the Wang Chronicle. I can assure you that Wang is definitely "rated".

 

[Run Straight]

Bob Craig was the main reason behind the sucess I can tell you all first hand. Martin Cross was not a very popular man at yarra amongst the players, he only spoke to players he liked (about 4 or 5 )an always tried to take over in the box, hence why steak seymour does not have him in the box this year!!!

Are you speaking from first hand knowledge Big H ? Coz if you were a Yarra premiership player, your thoughts on the matter would carry some serious weight.

 

[THE CEO]

Bosco - The idea of giving stick to someone is to actual make them think or at the very least be funny.

You are neither - so feel free to crawl back under the rock you came from.

Make sure you dont graze your knuckles on the ground during the trip too.

 

[Hornie]

Are you kidding me. Bob Craig is that stupid that once he s h i t his pants in the box and as it started running down his leg he jumped out the box starkers and urinated on his own leg to clean it!

You have just demonstrated what a complete and utter idiot you are.

I can assure you Bob Craig would be one of the most unlikely people to cop or deserve this crap from a mooron like you.

If you were attempting to be funny-GIVE UP, because you are just a complete and utter waste of space.

Bob is actually one of the first people you would want in the trenches with you when the going gets tough.

Or are you just a sour and bitter small minded peice of scum who could not get a game in the Grand Final??????
