Could not disagree any more strongly Canada. OT and Bernards, at this point, clearly well ahead of teams 3 to 7.
Think that the early wins by these teams will def ensure they play finals. But I think a full strength Blues or Carey are more than capable of beating them come finals time.
...certainly don't agree re Carey...Blues maybe. Yes....
Almost impossible for DLS at 1-8 to avoid relegation, but great effort today to go down by 5 points against the Xavs who has Luke Ball playing and Wynne back in from VFL duties. Certainly the best bottom team we've had for a while.

Scotch have 2 games and % on De La which means even if Scotch don’t win another game De La need to win 3 more. Not sure I can see that happening to be honest. The Bellers not playing that badly but have simply forgotten how to win. Nothing to show for 2 pretty good games against Collegians and Xavs with another loss by a kick today. Good sides win the close ones and the inability to get over the line in these games looks likely to consign them to B grade.
I hope you hang on if only for the SKOB v Bellers clash for the 'BF Bragging Rights Trophy'.

While you cant take much away from practice game results we did get over them in March (probably the only game they will lose in 2015). We also have a distinct edge as far as ‘A’ grade history goes but if we were to play next week and you had to bet your life on the result I would backing the SKOBs to get the points. It looks likely we will be swapping grades next year.

Doubt we have seen a player with a better footballing resume ever play in the VAFA. 200 plus games, # 2 draft pick, premiership and a B&F at St.Kilda. But he did retire because his body was shot so perhaps no real surprise that he looked very slow and underdone yesterday.
When asked on the Ch 9 footy show this morning how he said something like he was terrible early and improved marginally as the game went on. That's a pretty fair assessment and he had no real impact. Of course you could never write off a player of his obvious quality and his mere presence has to be worth something.

Likely maybe. However this premise is based on skobs winning finals. Which is no lay down misere

Not sure we have any with a better overall resume though. While he is shadow of what he was in the mid 00s, in his pomp I don’t think many who have played to that level have stepped out in the VAFA and I cant remember too many # 2 draft picks.
In response to other points made - De La not playing that badly, just can’t seem to find a way to win. Might be the first team to get related having not lost a game by more than 6 or 7 goals. To be honest a spell in B grade would not be such a bad thing. Comment about practice game was very much tongue in cheek Brian. Obviously you can’t draw too many conclusions from pre season games.

Agree on all fronts. Being an A to B yo yo achieves little in the long term. In regard to St Bernards – have easily the best list, very few weaknesses and pretty good depth but Trinity play with a sort of dare and belief that could take them a fair way in September. Throw a blanket over the other 8 teams with a number of clubs capable of winning it should they play finals.
I'd be very confident that if they keep their list together they will go up. Further to that, be competitive in Premier too.
Robert Harvey or Dennis Cordner are by far the best quality of footballer every the play both VAFA and AFL/VFL.

Agree on Robert Harvey and can’t believe I forgot about him. One of my all-time favourite players. Was in his late 30s when he played just a handful of games for OH and they were in a different grade to De La that season but I understand he was still a real handful. Mithen and Cordner were before my time but obviously great players.
