U/18 A Grade 2008

[Dont Flood]

What was that U17 game thats on the EDFL website from last week EDFL U17s vs Cairns AFL?

Anybody get along and watch that one?

Yeah saw the first half, EDFL just to strong in all areas. Cairns had some athletic types and as the game went on I beleive they got better. But I think that U 17 squad would beat just about any league. Some very handy kids playing and some clubs should be very proud of the type of footy they played even though thay had nothing to beat so it would be good to see how some of them would go against a decent league. A few of them have have a high opinion of themselves ( Fat Heads )

went and watched practice match abers vs tullamarine last night.
Abers looked OK played a very very good first half and controlled the match.
second half was pretty scrappy Tullamarine went in hard at the man and started all in brawl and after that abers took there foot of the peddle resting a lot of there better players.
still think keilor and strathmore will be the teams to beat this year

anyone else got any thoughts on ladder??

Also saw this game, Abers very good in the first half. (no 1 is a gun). Would call it more of an all in melee and Tulla did seem to go a lot harder after half time. They had been playing B grade footy up to half time and with the better Abers players off the ground it gave them a chance to be competitive. Abers will be there at the end of the year again I'd say.

Good to see that paying people playing under 18's at Marby did them good on wekeend one goal kicked for the game. keilor will definately be the team to beat but that is crap and the whole club is crap.
Avondale arent as bad as last year and might be competitve against the better teams. Massive injusy at abers on weekend which may hurt them during the year.

It was a pretty good game. A few spot fires broke out, but all in all a good spectical. West Coburg had the upper hand all game, but Greenvale snatched the win off em in the last 10 minutes of the final qurater by kicking the last couple of goals. Expect West Coburg to do alrite this year. But full credit to Greenvale though, great character shown to come back & win.

tips fellas, ill get the ball rolling.

doutta/west - gunna go with west coburg here, they probably should of beaten greenvale last week in all honesty, and the stars are a depleted side this year losing a few key players so forth. good game nonetheless.

heights/mores - strathmore should hav this one confortably. dunno much about avondale this year. they shud put in a cotest just cant see them winning many games.

keilor/jets - match of the rnd w/o a doubt. greenvale are solid across the board and keilor will be hungry to win after choking on some **** last year.
few good players come up to the 18's at keilor rec so they are shaping as likely gfinalists.


the rest with byes.

yes I agree that Keilor will definately be the team to beat this year. I really hate people saying Keilor chocked in last year grand final. Abers killed them they only lost one game to them all year. Keilor might have been over cocky that is about all.....

can anyone tell me how craigeburn are this year??? Every year they talk themselves up but never deliver

Not quite, Glenroy are saying they have a side for this week.

 

[InandUnder33]

good to see the groys at least put out a side with wat theyve got given all the soft cuks who left to play at tulla or westy or one of those b grade sides who will end up winnin anyway. they are given an opp to play a grade and yet they stick to there scum footy!! disgrace.

and douttass the crazyburners are a side who one week turn up to play and do alright and the next week have no idea what tehe doing.
its looks astho they hav retained some good players from years gone but i think they still might struggle over the year.

 

[lafdog]

so keilor must b flag favourites again as they were last yr?

that all depends on whop you talk to Lafdog you muppet
Poeple around the traps didnt think Keilor were favourites last year.
we all have our own opinion and yours is always nearly wrong

 

[CASS1]

ok i dont play for abers but another a grade club.
but they were clearly a better team than keilor..
more organised, skillful and relentless.
bye douttas is right
in our games against both sides, abers were easily better and deserved to win the gf imo..
keilor didnt choke.. abers were far too good and i wasnt surprised by the result at all.
perhaps a diff story this yr but yeah.. abers well deserved victors

 

[InandUnder33]

hmm abbers stratty game quite interesting. did anyone see the game???
mores arnt as good on paper as they were last year but still knocked off abbers pretty easily by the looks of things.
perhaps better than what ppl including myself are givn them credit for?

strathmore won quite easily in the end but the first half of footy was very good to watch. very hard and physical game and abers probably should have been in frton at half time but wasted a lot of opportunities.
abers have a fair few players out so hopefully if everyone comes back right 6 players could step into the team in the second half of the season.
Strathmore are a good team but lets see when they play Keilor. I think it will be very even from third down to 7th this year. Looks like Craigeburn might be the improver and does anyone know how Douttas are going??

hi did anyone here about the abers captain going off at the coach on weekend. Was quite disgraceful by the player so will be interesting to see what happens.
I didnt see what exactly happened or if the coach started something but the player was yelling very loud and the whole ground would have heard it I think.

ohkay fair enough...good wrap up.
i dont think theres much doubt that keilor will again be the stand outs for the year soo pretty much 2nd til 7th will be a toss up....doutta i dunno much about there always pretty solid but....crazys mayb the team on the up yr right even without jake.c

 

[lafdog]

mmm dunno about craigieburn.. not a bad side but losing close games to doutta and abers has put them 2 and 2 rather than 4 zip... could b costly in the long run bcos the comp looks very very closely competitive this yr.

and playing keilor last yr seemed like they were much more fluent and organsised not relying on and gun players but more so jst a good all round side, whereas abers didnt show the same consistancy all yr until they got injured or school boy/cannons players back...

Craigeburn arent a bad team they are very discaplined they didnt give away there normal stupid free kicks. Abers played alright but they do have about 8 players out of there starting team.
Keilor will defiantely be the team to beat this year and maybe the rest are playing for second.
Anybody tell me how West Coburg are?? do they have many good players??

cant disagree with that call....very even comp this year aside from keilor who are clear front runners.
westc are a tricky mob to deal with. tehy have mostly top age players from last year still playing i think but you never no what yur guna get with them. theve had a couple of easy games sure but looking at the other 2 (narrow losses) some would say there probably should of won both after leadinguntil the latter stages of the game.
i think abbers play wests this week?? correct me if im wrong...but yea that shud be a ripper game !

yep abers play west coburg. After a lucky win on weekend these are the games abers have to win with so many injuries. If abers can only lose two more games in the first half they will be a lot stronger in the second half with 6 players to come in. three players could be out for year which makes it tough especially when one of them is best player...
Oh well you can only go with who you got and hopefully we can get another win.

 

[InandUnder33]

yeah douttas look i understand what ya mean with players missin so forth but mateyou said so yourself you gotta deal with it thruout the season. it doesnt matter whos out the players on the field hav to get the job done.

and the players yuor talking about ? are you willing to name names ? or just one of these gotta few players out blah blah sorta thiing ??

hahaha to the bloke about strathmore!

i will name the players to th best of my memory. Jason Shaw played the first two games in abers seniors out for at least another 9 weeks. Licca very good third year player out for another 8 weeks. Toby Hickmott very good young player out for 12 months. Alizzi out for another week or two third year player. Lambert new player to club back in round 8. another first year player but dont remember his name would have been either just in starting team or on the bench. Two new guys trained last night and will be playing this week pending clearance, a guy from Alice springs and another from Seymor.
I know there is nothing you can do about injuries all I am saying that abers will be better second half of the year and they need to win the games like they did on weekend if they can turn half way dropping 3 games they will be in good position come second half.
As for strathmore not being a good team I will love to know where the bloke that posted that comes from clearly the second best team at the moment.
Looks like Douttas are going quite nicely which is always a shame to see lol
