Whats the officials got to do with it? It will be a battle between two teams who have respect for one another, a great rivalry which go's back decades. The afficials from both sides will have a drink together after the game. May the Best team win!
Im pretty sure 'o'fficial is spelt with an O? the rivalry between kilmore and wallan goes back years...for those 2 hours, i hope the umpires dont have a bearing on the game like the recent AFL games...let the boys play!
Kilmore won't keep up. The Magpies are looking very sharp according to a few of the locals.
all it comes down to when these two sides play is who wants it more...form is out the window this week!!!
exactly right...pre-season form is a non issue when saturday roles around. lets hope both teams show up for a ripper! i reckon that it will be a huge game with plenty of competitiveness and heaps of huge moments that could turn the game. are both teams new recruits going to help turn the tide, is it gonna be the young blokes of the teams or the cool headed veterans that help either team go home with the chockies? what you think?

Let the Games begin!
Ok then Gents, I'll go out on a limb and make some predictions:-
Broadford to beat Romsey, should be a close game but Broady and Doona will have set their sights on this game for the last few months. Broady by 4 goals
Lancefield easily over Rockbank, anywhere between 8-10 goals. Seem to have picked up a few players and with some older heads around could be a team pushing for finals.
Riddell over Diggers, should be a cracker of a game considering both sides have been up for the past few years. Although Riddell have lost a number of players, they've more than compensated that for the additions and the younger kids coming through. Riddell by 6-7 goals but should be close all day till last qtr when Riddell will kick away.
Woodend over Macedon but only just, with the amount of talk over the summer of how many players the cats have picked up must toss the coin in this one. Although a home game for the cats, Woodend with all their experience should be a shade too strong. 2-3 goals.
Sunbury to win comfortably against Centrals. The Kanga's have been going along quietly doing their business and I expect them to do a clinical job on the centrals on the weekend and win by a lazy 6 goals.
Finally, the Blues to get over the Pies at JJ Clancy Reserve in front of a huge crowd. Alot of passion between these two sides over the years and I'm expecting nothing less over the weekend. Blues have a very young side running around now and with Booker calling the shots, expect him to direct traffic to the lads. 10-15 points will be all the separates them in the end.

Not sure why but people seem to be under estimating riddell, yes they have lost some talent but they have recruited equally as good talent.

I rate Riddell's side and their inclusions, but the reason I picked Diggers Rest is because they have a balanced side which has played a lot of footy together. The Bombers will field a side with about half a dozen 2008 senior premiership players in it and they will probably take a few weeks to really hit their stride. It should be a really interesting contest.

nicholls you cant really make statements from what locals say! its going to be a cracker of a game!
doesnt matter what locals say, exactly rite vantheman. i personally reckon its gonna be a cracka...whith kilmore boasting a few ex whittlesea blokes and wallan picking up a few for themselves, i reckon the tussle will be closer than what people think. it will be good to see the intensity of the game...heard wallan have got some silky skills and some pace, but kilmore have a mix between bookers experience and some young players bpasting some quality reputation. will be a good game!

Is Helmers still running around this year gents? or has he pulled the pin?
Who cares! He's fat and finnished!
Not at this stage, he has interests in another sport at the moment.
You haven't seen him lately have you??

The first month of footy is always the best and this weeks fixture looks great. hopefully we see some attacking football with no tags, forwards against backs and backs against forwards justing going hard at the pill. It looks as if all games could go either way and obvious the team that wins the ball first wins the game. good luck to all teams on the weekend and hopfully were in for a cracking season. Let the boys play coaches and good luck to all

Mockery: As per usual, you've left no stone unturned.. One would say your recent post is Vintage Mockery...
OEB: Looking back on some of your older posts, I'm confident when I say this that your comments are of a poor level. However, every forum needs a OEB to keep things interesting don't they?? I'm very much looking forward to your response.
I'm sure Morgan will get the job done on Saturday against the Roos and will prove to be a valuable pick up once again for the Redbacks.. Really looking forward to the Morgan V Sunbury clash this year.. Will the ruthless crowd @ Boardman Res. waste their hard earned money from K.Rudd by throwing can's of Green Slime at Morgs...???

So OEB can i safely assume that you are stoked to have Morgs back after the following pot shots you had at him last year.....?

It should be a good game, and i'm sure one year in the not too distant future it could be a sunday blockbuster.
