top 3 spot is gone now, i don't think finals is out of the picture as yet. the last 4 are all must win games. spotty and stalbans mainly. even 3/4 we could push for 5th. Albion were good on the weekend and made a mess of our costly mistakes. blake richards was good all day. and i would say zavarlos got the better of mentha.
m.davis needs to have a run with leigh this week i think.

I agree with your ideas ,
but in your other post you said if T cooper leaves albion they would fall over im not so sure
Over the years albion have always been able to go out and buy players maybe not the right players at times was there problem
I think the signing of savalas has been great for the club and looks like there finally getting the right players to the club
I dont beleive albion can win the flag this year without a tall marking forward but i think next year with a couple of recruits they could push spotty & colts

Heard a rumor on the weekend that Sunshine will be looking for a new coach as soon as this week. This will not be for this year but next, as the committee believe that Tocka has taken them as far as he can and will be looking for a replacement. Sunshine have spoke to Tocka about 2 to 3 weeks ago with concerns, he proceeded to ask the playing group on the track if anyone has a problem with him or his coaching and all players didn't mutter a word. Typical.

Lot of talk on here re the gulf in scores in Div 1. A cursory glance at Div 2 scores will see a similar or even worse situation. I have mentioned on here previously that the WRFL should conduct an Open Forum to brainstorm ideas to possibly rectify the problems. Been plenty of good ideas on here with varying degrees of merit and ease on implementation. To my knowledge nothing has happened. Needs to be bigger than just the executive or official club representatives. May even need to employ a professional person or someone from AFL Victoria to lead and at times harness the discussion.
Division One average winning margin on Saturday was 106 points including a Top 6 clash and in Div 2 it was 118 points including an "upset" with Western Magpies defeating Deer Park !!
Something needs to be done as time is fast running out for some clubs.

Not much talk on here about weekends games...
Sunshine all but gone from finals race.. They played with no spirit at all on weekend.. particulalry for a team playing for a finals spot.
Albion should gave won by 80 points.. Which is about the difference between the 2 clubs this year.
Cam Barker another BOG. have to be piling well in the medal..
What about other games, Glenorden pushed St Albans?

about time someone from Altona got on here and posted something constructive...right on the mark kegs
AV07 not sure who you are but probablly best u delete your account. at least for the best of the club's image moving forward
90% of the boys down at the club no where we stand currently (bottom 4 and struggling ) but we are also willing and eager to strive and work hard. and get to where we want to be in the next few years.. without a doubt tho we need a handful of already established div 1 senior players to either step up or recruits come in and guide these young blokes to future success in divy 1 football.
although we have 7 listed jets players. 3 of them share the captancy and another 3 play regulary at least 5 of them are good enough to play VFL seniors for the next 5 years.. short term hopes of the club cant rest on these blokes they will be a bonus in 5 years time when they return to finish there footy careers at the club ie your barlings,urch's, sutcliffe. in saying that though there is still plenty of other gun youngsters down at the club who can play and will mix it with the best in the comp in a couple of years time. until then though the work is in front of us and alot will depend on whether the group is up to the challenge, i think they will be. only time will tell.
Also D jacobs starting to burn.. come finals i really wonder how many gears he can go up.. scary thought
shaping as a ripper finals series! u gotta love it

agree totally with the call that sunshine cant make finals, and even if they do they are just going to make up the numbers. colts and spotty so far ahead of everyone else its not funny.
albion should really of beaten sunshine by alot more. bad kicking, on a very windy day didnt help.
cam barker i agree would be polling well in the barry priest medal, although blokes like dorwood, knezevic, turner, buttina and others would all be taking votes off him. so if i asked everyone to name their treble-premiers/league B&F/goalkicking who would every choose..mine would be:
Spotty/Hollow(st A)/keenan(Sp)
cougarman
Team Captain
the cougar says:
port colts(obviously)
danny jacobs (pc) or brad murphy(hc)
mark keenan(sp)
i think dj can win the priest even though he is really turning it on now his form was very good early he has just gone up a few gears in the last 6 weeks and murphy has been the most consistant from hogans rd, probably wouldn't have many taking votes off him
The keys are getting the players to come back to the club (from TAC VFL), keeping the kids and employing a coach who has very good people skills. Sometimes the best coaches aren't necessarily those who have brilliant technical minds or have played 500 games of local football. Most now have a couple of assistants they trust to help them out in the technical department anyway. If the coach is willing to put in the hard yards and get involved with the younger blokes at training, show an active interest in their footy and be a mentor, then that can only strengthen loyalty to the club (from those at the club and those who are playing a higher grade).
Have seen a few coaches who have assumed that moving up to the seniors at the club you played juniors at is an absolute given, have shown no interest, treated the young blokes with contempt and have then lost good players to other clubs. The loss of one or two players can be hard enough but it can start a domino effect of others leaving as well. Playing coaches work to a degree but only if the side has a core of established players. For developing clubs, a non playing coach who can concentrate on the game of his players rather than his own is important. It's amazing what you don't see when you're in the thick of the action. If not, then another well respected mentor must be employed to work with the coach in getting the best out of those learning the senior game.
With Clarke playing and coaching with success at the Colts and Theodore doing the same at Spotty last year for a flag, Kelly and Savalas, can see what clubs are thinking when wanting to go down the same lines but it may not be the best option for clubs trying to develop young senior list. No disrespect meant to those playing and coaching at present.
Money is always going to be an issue. While clubs are throwing it around, there well always be players ready to catch it. Overrated or not.
You heard it here first......... Absolute Fallacy. No truth whatsoever.
Ridiculous Post. Not one ounce of truth in any of it.
i watched yc v albion on the weekend and blake richards tore yc apart he may make a big difference to albion's chances come finals time.He has missed a bit of footy this year thru injury but if he plays like he did sat albion have a big chance come the finals.And on the way the wrfl are going,it wont be around in 3 or 4 years clubs will either leave the comp or fold thats where its at.
Yeah, perhaps it's time for struggling clubs within the same area to look at merging and pool their resources. Let's not be scared off by the Yarravile/Seddon merge. We know that club history is important but keeping footy alive in the west is vital.
The league may have to then investigate merging with another league (as mentioned earlier).

I have tried to follow the WRFL for the last couple of seasons, and thought I would go and watch a few games leading up to finals.
I watched Port for a half on Saturday and think they have a fairly good side, a chance to be competitive in the majority of major leagues, so good size, bit of experience and some good kids.
What was disappointing was witnessing one of the lowest acts I have seen for a long time on a football field. If a king hit behind play can get a guy 2 months jail up near the border, I would hate to see what the act i witnessed on Saturday would get!
If you want people to continue to come to watch this league, clubs need to clean up the acts of some of their players. I hope something happens from this incident!

lets just say, play A was being restrained on ground by team mates of player B during minor scuffle, player B then drove his knee into the face of player A.

Richards is an unbelievable talent. Fast and can kick a goal from 60-70. Fantastic game for him on Saturday. His good mate Frost looked lost. We just need to see more of it from him. He should playout the season well now he is injury free and 100% fit.
