Western Region Football League team (Part 1)

[13-CABS]

Re: Western Region Football League team

PREMIERS : SPOTSWOOD
RUNNER UP : COLTS
REST OF TOP FIVE : SUNSHINE, HOPPERS, ST. ALBANS
ALBION (unlucky to miss), the rest will be too far off the pace to care anyway.
BARRY PRIEST MEDALLIST : BRAD JULLIER (If he is still playing) / 13CABS (If he plays the way we all know he can).
GOALKICKING AWARD : Mark Keenan (SPOTTY), if that GEORGE bloke is still at St. Albans, he might even have a crack. He's a huge unit in front of goal....

GOOD LUCK TO ALL FOR THE SEASON!!!

Re: Western Region Football League team

What happened to Bones McGhie 5 year plan when he started. when he started they were in div1, dropped to div 2 and won the flag in his 5th year. pity he didn't look past the 5th year...............

everyone in the comp knew this was going to happen except West. guess they didn't deadbolt them doors tight enough to stop the stampede out of shorten reserve grand final night.

unfortunately your div 2 senior flag means nothing as your club has gone backwards for 2008 despite plenty of hype from bones himself about recruits and making a dent on division 1 in 2008

Your not from a certain team in divvy 2 are we red man?

Cabby, would be nice to come back one day and umpire in the comp but I'll be living in Newcastle for a long time!

Good luck mate.

What the F__ is going on with the clearances.
Yarraville won't clear anyone.
Hoppers doing the same, even refused a clearance for a guy that only played one game in the reserves last year and wants to play in Queensland.

They all couldn't be on contracts, or even owing the club money or property. That is the only reason why you can refuse a clearance.

Re: Western Region Football League team

A subject that a lot should be intersted in.

Why is it that after a game, bugger all players hang around the rooms anymore. Either if your at home or away.

Back in the eighties and nineties and know doubt earlier, all home team players would gather around enjoying one and others company til late at night. The away team would all come in and sometimes even be the last few to be kicked out of a club.

Now days, some players don't even have a shower and leave straight after the game, those that do go into the rooms, might hang around for half an hour to an hour at the most. This is even when the player is at their home rooms.

What has happened to the social side of football or are too many players treating football as a second job and not hanging around with their mates.

Re: Western Region Football League team

I actually disagree with that. I know at Sunshine, we go in to every teams rooms after a game. its a team rule that we all head in for a few beers. i know it was prob for longer back a while ago but now everyone has things to do and places to go most sat nights. i also reckon all WRFL teams are pretty good, i cant think of any side who havent come in to our club for a few beers. Often the Hoppers guys are there pretty late, along with a few of the Colts guys. Of course there will be individuals in all sides that may head off a bit early but thats to be expected. Dunno bout any other clubs thoughts on this.

As an umpire, I've had many nights past 7-8pm in the rooms after the game. People do have families to go home to afterwards.
Most clubs in A Grade are pretty good. St. Albans, Colts, Sunshine and Spotty being the good ones. Hoppers not bad either.

Drink driving would have alot to do with it......they took more of a risk back in the day.
Most clubs pop in for a couple wait for scores from other grounds then head off,at our home games most players hang around til they are kicked out at midnight,we would stay longer but the council is very strict with the club these days.

I know at Albion we are well known for hanging around for a drink after the game. Most clubs schedule functions for away games, and with the amount of money needed to be generated in the league now you have to have shitloads of functions so it is hard for guys to hang around all night.

Re: Western Region Football League team

the best way to show some support for each other is for the supporters to buy their drinks at away games from the home club..not bring ya own. every club seems to charge about the same price

Last season i witnessed port colts arriving altogether in a bus and they stayed on till late then all got back on the bus to go back to the club.
Resolves the drink driving issue while there is nothing better than bonding with your mates pissed on a bus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i can play poker though, that's why i'm good at the bluff.......every day i wish i was as good as you though, at everything you do. Are you proud of yourself every time you look in the mirror after you come on here and pot me when nobody knows who you are....put a name to the comment and then we can give you a bit of credability......but the week person you are, everyone knows you will never do that.
I'd much rather have my ability as a footballer than your coward ways in bagging people, if you care to say anything else save it for when we are face to face.
