Looks like you had a pretty good look at the game xterminator. Are there any positives, seriously, at all coming out of the tigers. Someone mentioned their top 5 players were they servicable or is the team struggling from top to bottom.
Anyone else out there got any ideas on what it would take to see the tigers re-emerge as a good quality side.

Yeah did have a good look at the game... and the top 5 were serviceable but then it just fell away! After the top 5 i dont think any player from the side i saw would get a game at any other team in the BFL (maybe the Flat.... hang on who am i kidding most would in the flat but no other team), They have got no up and coming 18,19,20 year olds. You would have to suggest Reaps and Eve are on there last legs, both played well on sat Eve dominated all over the ground and so he should with his AFL experience. Tate and cook look to be the glamor boys of the team and kyenton will have to work hard to keep them their next year.. Not sure if they have signed 2 year contracts. All this talk about this Sultan on $500 a game, and Reaps getting discount off his house... If Nev was throwing around so much money then why can't Kyenton attract quality young players to the club, not sure who is on the recruiting board but geee they must be doing a lousy job! $500 waisted on that Sultan could have went to 2 young blokes.
If Kyenton are to re-emerge as a quality side i think their recruiting needs to start now, and they need to build a foundation so that the club looks attractive for Eve and Reaps to go around for another year.
Are you sure you dont mean it was Cook that dominated all over the ground. i dont think eve dominated all over the ground, it would have been cook that dominted over the ground and has had afl experience not eve
Kyneton need to make it a club that is attractive to the younger players, it needs to be a club that the younger kids that are going to being playing pioneers etc want to come back to, and play once they have finished with pios

Yes Yes i did mean Cook, don't know how i confused him with Eve... Eve played in the forward line and struggled all day.

Its a good statement you make there. I think along with the club making an effort to look after these young blokes, the attitude needs to change amongst that age demographic. I reckon 5 years ago all any 17, 18, 19, 20 year old wanted to do was play senior footy, mix with the experienced blokes, have a drink after the game and pretty much spend a big chunk of your time with your team mates for the 4 or 5 months you play footy. It appears that is not the case at the moment and hopefully it can change. People have stated that there are a good young batch coming through, it would be good to see those young blokes set themselves to rebuild the club to its former glory.

What a massive game! Match of the year so far, hopefully i can get down to this one. I like Gissy by 30 points!
I cant disagree mate, Gisborne looking the goods at this stage. The first 15-20 minutes of the game last week against Square was Gisborne at their best, as good a footy as ive seen them play i reckon, 10 goals to 1 at half time against quality opposition. Square to me, just dont stack up in the hardness stakes.
I reckon this weeks game will be more of a test for Gisborne, Eaglehawk have some harder nuts than Square but i reckon the key is getting on top of the Burra's very handy forward line. Brown, Gretgrix and co in great form at the moment.

I'm pretty sure North City and South are playing at Princes Park, Maryborough this weekend. Don't get too carried away with their two wins. They were against the two bottom sides.

There are a few around Ballarat that are getting carried away. Good on them for getting a few wins but South should burst that little bubble.
There is a good chance they will finish better than Maryborough and seventh place would be a good result for a team most thought wouldn't register a win for the year.

Interesting to note... South only beat Kyenton by 21 points and North beat them by 25 and had a lot more scoring shots. Not sure if south had a full strength team when they played Kyenton, but the stats say this should be a great game.
Ryan Givney from Kyenton is on his way to Leitchville Gunbower....how does he go as a player??
There could be a few upsets this week if the rain pelts down like it is suspected on saturday. North City will give south a real run for there money and , I think kyneton could get alot closer if the showgrounds is wet and muddy
There is no way north could beat south whereever it is played. I watched the game between maryborough and north, and mb made them look terrible and i am not saying maryborough is a great side, but give them a couple of years. South by ten goals at least they smashed mb and should not have any problems against north. Just an opinion, but would be very supprised if north got close.
So did he play on key forwards at kyenton?? or just out of a back pocket?
he played as the second ruckman
Ok thanx for that one more thing how old is he and is he worth money?

Tips for this week:
E/hawk v Gis - As much as I hate (but still respect) these two sides equally, I would like to see the Hawks win to break the mundane
K/Flat v Mary - MaryB to win a close one
Kyn v Sandhurst - Dragons by 40points.. I'd say 100+ but it's expected to be wet
North v South - South by 30points... hit some form, but still not convinced
Golden Square v C/maine - Square by 60 points
E/hawk v Gis - As much as I hate (but still respect) these two sides equally, I would like to see the Hawks win to break the mundane
K/Flat v Mary - MaryB to win a close one
Kyn v Sandhurst - Dragons by 40points.. I'd say 100+ but it's expected to be wet
North v South - South by 30points... hit some form, but still not convinced
Golden Square v C/maine - Square by 60 points

Maryborough beat them by 20 goals the other day. M/B play Kangaroo Flat and Kyneton over the next two weeks so they may be well ahead of North soon.
Cmon mate thats a bit harsh on the kid, he's not worth big money but he can still play
