I know that Yaabs but I have put the maximum wins and losses for the sides. I thought some of the games were a 50/50 so I have given each team a win or a loss for those. Hence, the uneven number. I'm unsure what you mean by being bias, if you mean cause I put Red Cliffs in the Four then that is a bit short sighted of you. They sit a game clear in the four now and you have to admit you guys have not played consistant footy all year. You had a good win over Wenty on the weekend but you need to do that consistently to get enough wins on the board. It will be a battle for fourth between Irymple and Red Cliffs and you guys if you can get more consistant. I can't see you making it at this point. Perhaps there in lies the challenge to prove people wrong. You have probably the best list in the league and in alot of peoples opinions you guys have underachieved this year.
I couldn't care less who makes it in the four and I haven't tried to provoke any responses. I simply put forward my view of the rest of the season.

Disagree with you there Rabbito. Red Cliffs are a game clear and play Irymple this weekend. They must win this game and can push two games clear of Irymple. In a sense this game is worth two games to Red Cliffs.
Mildura you would imagine shoud defeat South and go ahead of Irymple on the ladder. The following week will then be crucial for Red Cliffs but if they defeat Irymple they will still be on the same points as Mildura if they are defeated. They each have a solid run home and I think the game between Wenty and Red Cliffs being the decider.
I will stay with Red Cliffs because I know what is happening internally and what the guys are doing and I don't with Mildura. From the outside it looks like Mildura are having some problems on the field and this has swayed my decision.
It will be close and it is fantastic to see more competitiveness on the field this year. When was the last time we had 3 teams battling it out for a spot in the finals with the result hinging on the last couple of rounds.
Either way, I think local footy is better for it! (the eveness of the league)
Alot of people are quick to jump on and knock local footy, I personally believe footy hasn't been as interesting (good to watch) for years.
I rather go to the footy and watch a game with WW lose by a kick or two than watch them pump another side by 20+ goals.
Your bias is that you obviously don't like the Mildura Footy Club. Read through your past comments if you need proof. If you're going to have a crack at the ladder at the end of the home and away, have a real go, dont sit on the fence.
Pretty well documented we have had more than our share of injury worries, some guys down on form and confidence suffered due to that. All of that is now behind us. 3 point loss at Robinvale, 8 point loss to Imps and an 13 point win at Dareton is evidence of that and all with considerable improvement to come. I'm fairly certain the top few sides hope we dont make it.

Mildura will make the four. Strong percentage.
They are a real chance to make the big one too.
I would say Imps vs Mildura GF. Richardson best on.
Irymple vs Imps in the reserves. Gribble best on.
Mildura vs Imps in the unders. Doering best on.
Atkinson/Curran - McLeod Medal
Gribble - Holcroft Medal
Fenton - Casey Medal

You are well off the mark there big fella. I have no grudge against the Mildura Footy club or anyone at the footy club. I picked you guys to finish top of the ladder before the season started and have even praised you guys for the way in which you developed the club under Ryan O'Callaghan for a number of years to get your success instead of just buying a Premiership. Your recruitment over the past 3-4 years is second to none and your improvement was seen over a number of years. Other clubs should look and take a leaf out of your book.
I have made comments about individual players or their playing styles but I don't believe I have ever stated I don't like the Mildura Footy Club. But I have also made comments on other clubs and players and I would say my bias shows I am extremely dissapointed with the South Footy Club more than anyone.
I find it quite perplexing you take such offence to me picking Mildura to finish low on the ladder considering I don't even play the game anymore. You of all people are one that I wouldn't have thought would take comments on this forum so personal.
Anyway I hope I have cleared up your incorrect perception of my thoughts on your club.
And I haven't sat on the fence with regard to the ladder. I have put them in the order I think they will finish. If I sat on the ladder I would have put each team finishing in a number of places. I think stating where each team will finish is pretty cut and dry. Win/Loss means nothing in the end so you can disregard the win/loss ration if that makes you feel a bit better.

Totally agree with you Rabitto, here's hoping the two bottom clubs can lift thier game next season to make it even better again.
Not sure that me saying you obviously dont like Mildura leads you to believe that I have taken any offence at all. What others think has no bearing on us or me at all. I think you'll find we were written off many times last year and not given much chance pre finals at all. And as you know if the crap we all put up with from nobodies over the fence doesnt affect us nothing will! Heard a ripper at Wenty last saturday!
Apart from Hocko, who will always get sucked in by the crowd, I agree.
What was said?

Yes, I have certainly been on the recieving end of a few good verbal sprays from the crowd. Adds a bit of humour to your day most of the time.

And thats coming from the biggest pathetic snipper of them all in you spivey cheap shots galore should have been your middle name, lets hope Red Cliffs are paying you to be runner so that the high school are getting some of there money back cause you are a dead set w..ker...
Well its pretty simple if red cliffs are willing to lose there coach and chris lee for 2 weeks as 1. it was Walder who started the the biff with eaton and 2. Chris Lee who managed to stand over eaton and punch him in the head i think they have alot more to lose from an investigation. Especially with the probablility that red cliffs could be in the finals.
Ibis i didnt see u running were u at the game??????????? if not maybe get the all the facts before passing comment

Didn't that finally stir things up.
Not there too busy working. I'm all for a good fight but not in to King Hits. If you want to get in to fight and come from behind then grab the bloke and get him in a head lock, not belt him to the head hard enough to knock him out. If he turns and grabs you, then fine, throw a good one, at least he should see it coming.I simply asked the question if there would be an investigation and made a comment that I believe a KING hit is weak as piss. If that means others get roped in to any investigation then so be it. Im just so sick of the League blowing hot air. They give blokes four weeks for abusing an umpire yet the umpires turn a blind eye to what is obvioulsy a pretty good Donny brook with one player being completely KO'd from a king hit and two others belting each other. They send one of them off with the blood rule but do nothing about the incident. If this league was serious then they would do something about it. Doesn't bother me who gets what, I don't play the game anymore.
I was hit in the back of the head two year ago by a player in retaliation to a slap on his face. I didn't give any evidence that would have kept him out of th GF but I along with everyone in the tribunal that night knew otherwise. I can tell you he was sweating on it. Put simply, the league does nothing to kerb such incidents and we all know it. With the reigns being tightened on abusing the umpire, surely these incidents should be looked at in more depth. Its a joke that they don't even look at any video evidence that could prove or disprove a persons guilt.

Well Ibis the Balls with redcliffs at the moment if they wish wish to take matters futher all 3 players would get a minimum of 2 weeks. What Lee did to Eaton was exactly the same as what Ransome did to Lee. Sams landed on the chin Lees landed around the ear. Hence the difference in the end result.
In defensive of the umps the atercation happened right near the benches when the pack formed the Umps were blind sighted. Both coaching staff had clear sight of it as did i. So taking that all into account i would seriously doubt that redcliffs would kick up a stink as they would practicley be handing there 2 best players 2 weeks. Sitting a game clear in the four losing them 2 would impact there chances greatly.
Just have to wait and there movements i guess.

No-one, including Delray who saw the incident has denied it was a King Hit. Therefore what was written would appear to be the truth. So what was written is neither rubbish, nor rumour.

I am guessing like Interleague footy this year, nothing will happen. Red Cliffs players won't winge cause they take it on the chin as most players do which is what you would expect.
The league needs to get consistent and start treating these incidents seriously, whoever is involved. Mildura copped it over the Alvey incident, I don't see how this is any different with a player being KO'd and taken to hospital.
This is of course only my opinion which accounts for nothing. Hopefully it might stir some responses from others about these matters rather than personal attacks on me and my OPINION. If others have an opinion, say what it is, if its different to mine then say so rather than make a personal attack on me. This is what forums are about isn't it, people with differing views being able to put them down and then discuss them in a civil manner. We all have different views, perhaps others could put thiers down instead of verbally attacking the views of others.
I concur Ibis... Fellas Start speaking up.
Well with Mildura to Meet Redcliffs the final four could just about be set my tip is Mildura to take the place of redcliffs top 3 to remain the same.
On the weekend's footy ive never seen such an open game it was very free flowing. I reckon Milduras skills will be better the reddy thats whats gunna get them in.
R/Vale, Imps 2nd semi. Imps will go straight through.

I'm tipping Red Cliffs in a close one at home. I reckon by between 5 and 10 points. It looks to be a beauty with Mildura beating south by 60+ and Red Cliffs having defeated them by 90. If Red Cliffs gets up, the top four would almost be finalised with them being two clear of the 5th positioned side. Red Cliffs should go in confident having defeated them the only two times they have met this year, (Including Pre Season). Mildura are now up and going and have had good firepower up forward over the past two weeks. If Connick and Matthews are held to under 5 goals between them, Red Cliffs will get up.

will be interesting to see how jarrod arrentz goes in the legends game tommorow night. hope he does the mallee proud and kicks some goals. I wonder if some of you stat buffs can find out how many senior goals he has kicked in his career. personally i would think he would of cracked the 1000 mark by now.
The question is, is he the best fullforward to come from northern victoria. and not go AFL. I understand he got his spot in the legends game via a comp, but as country footballers go, i dont think he will be too far out of place down there.
Hope you kick butt down there jarrad....even if you are from two headedville
