I didn't brag. I made a statement which forms the basis of an opinion.

Sorry lads, but I've had some issues with www.centralsport.org lately and haven't been able to publish stories or PickleBet.

This week's odds and stories are now up.

For interest sake, here are this week's odds:

ROUND 4 - Seniors
Wallan $1.75 v Kilmore $2.10
Riddell $1.20 v Melton Central $3.80
Macedon $1.65 v Lancefield $2.15
Sunbury Kangaroos $1.85 v Woodend-Hesket $1.90
Romsey $1.15 v Rockbank $4.50

Matt after reading the free press today RE- Romsey Wallan u18s fight .I believe the correct score was 2.2 4.8.I do not know why that score is on the RDFL site.If Wallan was awarded the 4 points that is a discrace.Imagine this scenario in the Grand Final .The first side to score starts a fight ,there mates enter the arena and join in, the game is abandoned and the Grand Final is awarded to the side that started the fight ,will this open a can of worms

Sorry Champ, lets not stereo type the whole club from what one person that is not even a member of the club says, he is the only person that has even mentioned it, and there is a few roo boys that post here. So lets get off that subject and back to footy.
Tips for this round, Wallan to just beat Kilmore, Macedon to beat Lancefield, Riddell over Melton and Romsey over Rockbank. Woodend Vs Sunbury game to be within 10 points,could go either way.

The rules are simple in the case of a game being stopped for any reason such as bad weather, bad injury etc the laws of the game say the result is decided by whoever is infront at half time as both sides have had equal use of any scoring end. If it happens before half time the game would be declared a draw.

Given that at this point neither club has been found guilty of anything we should wait until the result of the investigation before commenting on things without knowing all the facts of the case.

Remember how people thought OJ Simpson was guilty but after all the facts were laid out he turned out to be innocent!!

Re: R.d.f.l Thread 2008

Tips Round 4.

Am picking Macedon to get over the top of Lancefield for no other reason than they just cant afford to lose games such as this if they are to be considered a serious contender in 2008, Macedon by 28pts.

Sunbury to get up in a toss of the coin game over Woodend at home by 13pts.

Wallan to crush a pretty disappointing Kilmore unit by 42pts.

Rockbank to face a determined Romsey on the rebound & show more signs of improvement but go under by 32pts.

Melton to learn their lesson & be more disciplined this week but come up short to an altered Riddell line up 65pts.

Heard that only half the Wallan 18s turned up to Kilmore today and a lot have walked - a lot of unhappy kids I hear. Also told that a lot of send offs and reports in the 2s and the umpiring was sh*tful in the 1s & 2s. Anyone hear how Cornish went and what sort of welcome did he get?

Should have gone there instead of watching an ordinary match at Centrals might have been a bit more interesting.

Re: R.d.f.l Thread 2008

really good game between kilmore and wallan yesterday.
kilmore came from behind to win a tough match, there wasnt any fights and cornish return wasnt bitter at all a little bit of push n shove.
robertson strayney salter played exceptionally in the 2nd half as kilmore were down to just 18 men. will be a few missing from the blues for a couple of weeks but got a couple of players to come back.

spencer im sure if hamish and andy asked you to have a free trip overseas to promote their show you wouldn't give it a second thought.
thommo is just sticking up for his club about a stupid and baseless comment. and maybe if you actually spent more that on or two years at a club you would understand where trevor is coming from. he and the kangaroos are working hard to get back on track performance and image wise and its people like you that bring the whole thing down. Maybe its you that needs to grow up and show some loyalty to a club for once in your life, stop playing the victim.

Too big, too fast, too strong. It could be a long year for our boys if we cant keep them on the track. We had 8 senior players out which will definately hurt us. It hurt us against Macedon and yesterday. But with a few coming back after our bye, things will turn around quickly.

Im going to say a big thank you to Prez Power and all those at Riddell for a great day. Our clubrooms were packed, Centrals, Riddell, past players, sponsors after the game, it was an awesome atmosphere. A special mention goes out to Belleville, James, Blade and Riddell's ruck I think it was Burnett for sticking around late and enjoying a few frothies with our boys.

Re: R.d.f.l Thread 2008

Robbo show shatters Magpies

by Matt Nicholls

ONE player should not be able to have so much influence on a game of football.
One player should not be able to single handedly revive a side’s winning chances.
One player did last Saturday . . . Matt Robertson.
The Kilmore star produced one of the best individual games seen at J.J. Clancy Reserve, giving the Blues an eight point win over arch rivals Wallan in the first local showdown since 2001.
Some long-time Blues’ supporters likened Robertson’s game to the same calibre of the stars in Kilmore’s 1971 premiership side, which contained the likes of Bernie Hede, Terry Mills, Geoff Briggs, Graeme Harper and Peter Ryan – all top quality footballers.
Whilst Robertson was brilliant and clearly the best last Saturday, he had plenty of teammates who gave their support.
Skipper Adam Goudge played his best game for the club this year; Rhyan Straney perhaps played his best game for Kilmore ever, whilst the likes of Jason King, Alan Carroll, Ben Pronk, Dave Saunders and Jon Sutherland were all brilliant.
In front of the biggest home and away crowd I’ve ever seen in the Riddell District Football League, both sides could have walked away with the points.
It was game full of drama. Obviously the early focus was on Dave Cornish, but it soon switched to the football.
Kilmore kicked the first goal through Daniel Kenyon, but it was Wallan’s quarter. Through Shannon Galea (two goals), Hayden Langborne and Cornish, the Magpies held a nine point lead at the first break.
They continued their good form to hold a 14-point buffer at half time, but perhaps should have led by more, as the players missed several easy chances on goal.
The game had yet to really reach the high expectations, but then again the big crowd had yet to see the “Robbo show”.
A superb third quarter saw the Blues turn a 14-point deficit into a four point lead, and although the home side had the momentum, Wallan still appeared to be a good chance.
Adding to the drama, neither side had much of an interchange bench to work with. In the final term the Blues had no fit players on the bench, with Linton Kemp, Travis Hede, Chris Temperley and Cody Franks all injured, whilst Wallan were down to two fit men after Dave Fowler and Dave Henderson succumbed to hamstring injuries.
SENSATIONAL!
With the game in the balance, Robertson proved why he is one of the premier players of the RDFL.
In the final term he took eight contested marks, won two centre clearances, had over a dozen possessions, and kicked the winning goal.
Things were looking bleak for the Blues too. The Pies kicked the first two goals of the quarter to establish a five-point lead as Kilmore butchered several chances to score goals.
The game was turned on its head when Blake Whiteway fluffed a kick on the half forward line, which allowed Robertson to take a telling mark, kick long and direct to Kenyon, who was able to hit Straney on a lead about 40 metres from goal.
On a reasonably uncomfortable angle, and with the opportunity to give the Blues a one-point lead, there is no doubting there was a huge amount of pressure to kick the goal.
Known as a prodigious kick, the distance was never going to trouble Straney, but whether he could stand up when it mattered was the question on everyone’s lips.
But true to his earlier form, he walked in calmly, kicked through the ball and to be truthful, it never looked like missing. Straney had kicked his fourth and the Blues had the lead.
As they had done all day the Magpies continued to fight, despite conceding another behind, and actually looked a genuine threat to take the lead.
But they couldn’t get past Robertson.
After starting in the middle, the utility would float into defence and cut off the Wallan delivery. He took at least half-a-dozen crucial marks in the final quarter to keep Kilmore in the game.
With just a minute to go, Wallan looked to have found a way forward and had the crowd on the edge of their seat, but was once again thwarted by the Blues’ defence.
This time Robertson had found himself loose in the middle of the ground, and with one long kick had the ball in his hands.
Despite the best efforts of the Magpies’ half forwards, Robertson shrugged off his rivals, waltzed inside the forward line and slotted the sealer from 40 metres.
Game over.
