Very good post and a great point you make.... Every club in this league would if they had the opportunity have more money to spend on its club (be that to spend on players, coaches, clubrooms/facilities, etc) they would...
No point bitching and moaning about it as it is part of local football and life in general... No-one that wins tattslotto goes and buys a second-hand VL commodore!

Take the challenge on and anything can happen come finals time as was proven in 2009 when Parkside went through (correct me if I am wrong but with an average winning margin of 50 plus points) undefeated and yet lost the GF.

I think you will find that "the 10k bet" is coming from your side of the fence and the 70points in, is what Deer Park are offering. ( over confident maybe ? )
 
It should be an interesting hit-out this week with Albanvale vs Deer Park and will let us see where things are at between what I see (and I am sure most others would agree) as the top 2 teams at the end of round 18 (not necessarily after finals....)

I am on here only to give an objective overview of the league and 2nd division and how I see it but most importantly to promote our football club.

We have only played 5 games so far and I will wait until we have played everyone once before making a final ladder prediction or making comments about how other clubs are travelling.

What I will say is that of our senior 22 that took the field on Saturday had 17 players that played for Laverton Magpies last season and 3 of those guys were from our under 18's last season. So I am very happy to see the development and improvement our club has made thus far from within and it is amazing what you can do and achieve if you start a process, set a game plan and guidelines and then stick to them and the results will come. The club has been instrumental in backing the direction that myself and Damien (reserves and assistant coach) wanted to go in from the start of 2010 but we still have a way to go to get to where we want to be.

As any club will attest that has played us so far that we are vastly improved on last season (2 wins for the whole season and 3 so far in 2011) and we intend to continue to learn, develop and improve as the season unfolds.

No excuses for our loss on Saturday but we showed further glimpses of the football I know we can and will play, what we need is to continue to grow and work for each other but when we can put it together for 4 quarters (which we will), look out. We were missing Whitling, Kennedy, Hartshorne and Zurek on Saturday and with their addition to our line-up plus the continual emergence of some of our younger players that continue to step up I still stand by my initial predictions that we can and will finish between 3-6th this season.

Closer to 3rd or closer to 6th will be totally up to us and come from within and not relying on other teams, so the ball is in our court, but I am very confident of my playing group and our club doing what is required to get to one of the top 5 teams come finals time and then as they say - finals football is another game altogether!

A few things to mention:

* One of our team rules is that ALL players must stay for at least one drink after games at our opposition clubs clubrooms and we have done this at all away games thus far and we'd like to thank the hospitality expressed thus far especially from Wyndhamvale and Albanvale. Also thanks heaps to Caroline Springs for the huge numbers that stayed back at our clubrooms for so long! A simple initiative but we all get back what we give and nothing better than to support your rivals and help each other it works both ways.
* Umpires - I personally think the umpiring has been vastly improved from last season and in fact has been good to very good, so well done umps... Remember we are all division 2 players (coaches and clubs) and we all make mistakes but we all don't plan to make them and they will happen. We need umpires to play the game so treat them with the respect they deserve and again we all benefit.
* The WRFL itself has taken and is continuing to take steps to improve its 'brand' and we inturn are part of that 'brand' and must continue to get with where footy is at and to be more professional and improve our player and club conduct... The better we as clubs are behaving/conducting ourselves and the same goes for the WRFL itself the easier it is and will be for us all to recruit or attract new players which in turn will continue to improve the standard we play in... Signs of this can be seen by the players we as a comp are starting to get from the AFL (Jacobs, Cloke to name a couple) and the EDFL... Keep it up guys and let's work together!

Cheers and good luck to all teams over the next few rounds except when we play you!

Go Lavo!
 
Justin, you have done a fantastic job with this group, a massive improvement on last season so congrats for what you have done so far !

Also great to see so many Laverton players back in the rooms after the game.

You are right, those additions in your side will be handy but it is hard to say you were missing players. Every club has players missing, Albanvale had 8 out on Saturday. It is very difficult to field your best 22 on paper each week cause it very rarely happens.

Good luck and keep up the good work.

Thanks for the positive words!

I wasn't making excuses for Saturday's loss just merely stating that we were missing 4 players integral to our side and in fact to our best side (3 of those players being from within our best 5 players to be exact) and yes I more than anyone understand that you will rarely if ever get your best 22 players on paper on the ground at the same time....

Fair enough to be missing 4 of your best 22 but when you take out 3 of your best 5, that is a huge difference... Nevertheless we lost fair and square and we will continue to work on bridging the gap by the time we play you again at our ground...

Cheers :thumbsu:
 
This round the Maribyrnong Weekly spoke to Parkside coach David Orchard after his side's 70-point win over West Footscray.

We posed a couple of important questions to David that have been doing the rounds and he did not shirk the issues.

Some of the questions raised include: are the Magpies were on the decline, can their fitness still hold up, how long will it take the new recruits to jell and are some of the players nursing broken hearts.

You can find the answers in the following two articles:

The first is our newspaper report:

http://www.maribyrnongweekly.com.au...-win-chokes-off-chinese-whispers/2166782.aspx

The second is our web only content which includes extra comment from David:

Choofa is not far off the mark, lets just say that our budget is not far off what Condos is getting ! ( for our whole side )

Just for the record, Harro is playing for free ! he is actually giving something back, and Docs is not much more than that, so give the guys some credit weapons. Two guys that have given plenty to local footy over the past 20 years !!!!!. ( im sure they have done alot more than you )

I did have a chat to you yesterday cause you looked lonely in the rooms casue you had no mates to talk to. So how about being humble in victory, seeing i took some time to come and say hello yesterday after all the sh it i have copped on here from you.

no secret that DP are a very very good side, and despite the loss we actually took plenty out of yesterday. Alot of things to work on and ammend but i am confident if we can execute what we are trying to do for 4 quarers we can more than match them .

Spotty V Albion last year ? Spotty beat Albion by around the same margin in the home and away and we all know what happend there. Premierships are not won in MAY ! :thumbsu:

why would what i say bring all the good work down they are doing at the footy club......gee whizz.....get fairdinkum.....

the club is in a great spot on and off the field good luck to them.......nothing to do with me.......the only thing im involved in is giving my coin over the bar/player sponsor/lions den member......

a bit of pot stirring is what this site is all about(and if you didnt realise through your goggles the footy club just beat the arch rivals in a much anticipated clash) if you dont like it i couldnt really give a stuff......i say things on here in my opinion not for the deer park footy club......

a bit envious i recon.....

if albanvale are going to go to div 1 recruiting 2 39 year olds they've got rocks in their heads......no doubt good players good history behind them but yeah the wrong side of 30 imo.........

wonder how many kicks my mate will get this week.....:eek:

cheers

Great to see some passion from your supporters and the energy around DP has risen along with the profile this year on and off the field.
Weapons, keep a lid of it. It's only earlier doors yet and its a long season, Jimmy seems have the fellas on the right track and is worth every cent.
Let's also not forget these so called old blokes have a wealth of experience and medals to match it. Who cares how old they are, they will dominate and help the younger blokes around the club along with the profile of the club.
Having these older blokes around a club does wonders for the kids, gives them a spark and makes them walk taller.
Love your passion weapons, great to see it's still alive in local footy!

Interesting reply, like it or not all teams need experienced players with in there structure!
Paul may be 37+ but he still adds something to the side, he is a proven player and coach and has the history to prove it, history doesn't lie!
l'm sure if your club had the chance to have him you would jump at the chance and before you reply back with "NO" don't lie to yourself and make a fool out of yourself again. As for Docherty, if you don't know him, google him then.............:cool:
Just be humble until finals time, let the boys footy do the talking and produce the goods then start to give everyone grief, until then buddy pipe down.
Now on to the Woodstocks, any chance you can stop drinking that cheap shit and venture out and treat yourself once and while?? :eek:

thanks doctor jekyl(you sound like paul docherty
).......i knew it wouldnt take long.......if deer park got docherty it would be taking the club in a backward step imo......just ask the 4 30+ year olds who got dropped last weekend.......who replaced them young blokes......1 of which kicked 4.....

he has ''had'' history at clubs that are in a different kettle of fish to albanvale.......albanvale are proven finalists and sh1t their nest time and time again......and if deer park would want him in their side why didnt they go chase him with all the coin thats floating around.........they probably see him as being too old........im sure he would add heaps to thier side but not enough to get them accross the line......or even make the game close......

everyone is giving me grief so chin up and expect to cop it back......and its been going on for years......ill give it as i get it......;)

and the woodstocks joke......if you have been around a while you'd know what i was on about......thanks for trying to be funny.....keep up your good work though......

cobra's beat you by 40 odd dp beat them by 90 odd......how close or how much will you win by???

I guessing your one of those motor mouths that sit on sides bagging blokes all day long pissed as a fart! Then come the games end you welcome yourself in to the club rooms and players turn the other way and take off to ignore you.
For Christ sake, just be humble and lucky DP have come in to some coin, nothing lasts forever.
One thing that will be question is your passion for your club.
