SEASON 2019

[Tangleswalker]

I went to a basketball game on 13 June 1997 at Melbourne Park. From memory, the Sydney Kings defeated the Melbourne Tigers, 106 to 96. It was all right. But I still prefer local footy, even if it is not as good as it used to be. Went to watch Wandin on Saturday. They were actually pretty competitive for three of the four quarters. They've worked out that the way to reduce the size of their losses on the big grounds is to i) short pass to unattended teammate, ii) stand there looking around for 10 seconds until umpire blows whistle, iii) repeat i). And never play on after taking a mark, even if clear. That would be taking a risk, and taking a chance is very risky. That's why Ed Hillary decided to stay at home in 1953. Too much risk out there.

Narre Warren's third quarter was exceptional. The really good sides don't go in for stodgy keepings-off. Winning in the ruck, constructive handball, running in waves through the midfield, strong contested marks from their spectacular forwards. It was worth enduring weeks of boring modern football just to see that one brilliant quarter.

So what your saying is they went with a plan and it worked to the most part. Wandin have been crippled by injury since round one so it’s looks as if they have set a game style up to cope with the available list at their disposal.
Two back to back yellow cards in the third qtr to Wandin players through ill discipline would’ve been a fair pointer as to why Narre ran rampant for about half an hour in their period of dominance. Whilst 18 against 17 they dropped 11 goals on the dogs.
On a side note I noticed whilst there that there was a club volunteer goal umpire for the senior game. Thought it was strange for a “premier” division game for that to occur?

Not really a club volunteer but one of our new recruits. Issue at the moment is the change to new yellow / green uniform and a number of people are still waiting deliveries. Previous umpires could still wear the old blue but new umpires for this year don't have old blue gear either.

Guarantee you that they were club volunteers, one a ex-prez!

Sorry to correct you, but it was actually Tigers vs Magic, Darren Lucas "murdered" Andrew Gaze, sent him home with purple bruising, hence why you have confused with Sydney Kings. Magic too good.
Anyway on sadder news..... Outer East Premier Division is Fire Trucked!!! Little Villages should not
Just want to be one of the boys on here!!!!!!

Must have been some late changes then - official ones were appointed.

Given that I’ve got nothing to do with the league am I allowed to say that those in charge have completely ****ed it up?

Utterly petty and childish from the Kremlin but not at all surprising at the same time.
The second half of the year promises to be a hoot.

Well said.

Wandin have gone from a powerhouse to a club who is getting thrashed and can’t field a reserves.

Olinda being smashed in both grades

This was such a great league with any side able to build a list and challenge for a flag. Teams like Olinda and Healesville came from being in division 2 not long ago.

Unfortunately now they’ll take a back seat where these new sides will dominate.

There was nothing wrong with this comp and now that’s all been pissed away.

 

[Tangleswalker]

Had a look at the “Gameface” footy show last night.
Do these blokes do any research or just not know what they are talking about?
Woori get belted by Berwick missing Jordy Williams and are “severely undermanned”.
Wandin endure 3 weeks of away games with up to 22 blokes injured or unavailable and “need to work out how to play second halves”.
One of these blokes is full time at the league, wouldn’t have thought it’s that hard to join the dots and look at the personal changes.

 

[Aeglos]

Healesville beat Marysville Vets 172-1.
The league’s f***ed, can’t compete with big towns etc etc

So you are happy with the league structure and think it’s a great move?

Give me 3 reasons?

 

[toxic]

Reason 1
AFL Outer East U15 netball made final of Vic State Championships today.

Nice false dilemma fallacy there

No but it is the best we have(being a Pakenham Junior). Sadly, supporter don't like change(Heck I don't want change) What is the difference between Hills teams playing the like of Berwick, Beaconsfield agianst playing team like Croydon, North Ringwood or Montrose in the EFL(which is apparently the alternative being thrown up)?

Sorry but I don’t understand why an alternative was required?

Nothing needed to change to the Yarra Ranges league.

This time last year we had nearly every team a chance to play finals.

No matter what mountain clubs do their reserves and 18s will be absolutely monstered. Simply not enough people.

If you’ve ever been involved in a club you’ll realise how badly this can hurt.

Those clubs should have joined the eastern football league. Easy

 

[Aeglos]

FWIW comparison of ladders from corresponding round last year across all divisions (intentionally unlabelled)

Reserves


Seniors

 

[Aeglos]

And for transparency population ladders vs real ladders.
Obviously runs into the issue that it presumes sides in higher divisions are better when that may not necessarily be the case currently (particularly in the reserves).
Population is taken from the 2016 census.

OFCNFC, Wandin, Woori punching above their weight!

Sorry but not sure how correct that is. I did a quick search and found;
Upwey 6,500 (can include tecomas 2000 i guess)
Doveton 9,300
Officer 7,100

I mean Berwick has a population of nearly 50,000. Its a stupid league.

I combined all the hyphenated clubs townships.

I think it’s also fair to say, based on the numbers, that the equation is more complex than biggest population = best side.
Even within just the traditional valley clubs the population doesn’t seem to have a direct bearing on success with the top 8 being:
Mt Ev
Upwey-Tecoma
Gembrook
Healesville
Alex
Emerald
Belgrave
Warby

As i have stated on numerous occasions the YVMDFL should have considered merging with EFL. I bSed this on the fact that the current structures of EFL and YVMDFL would have allowed for clubs to assimilate ln divisions of similar demographics. It would also increase the number of divisions. I must admit that I am a supporter of the current EFL Division set up of 8 teams per division. So where does that leave The Outer East AFL..Amalgamation with EFL is still a current viable option with say say a current re gigging the top two divisions which would include the likes of Cranbourne, Berwick, Pakenham etc. I have previously stated AFL outer East would probably be a big winner with the Silvans Belgrave sth the Gullys re aligning and Coldstream Chirnside Park and north Croydon agaist clubs of thei6 grading against Yarra GLen Yea kinglake Seville ect
