look 95% of the 2s umpires do the best job they can its only natural for them to favour the club they follow. the bottom line is without their assistance we wouldnt have a 2s competition. but come finals when we get proper umpires it will be a big culture shock for most players.

The guy who umpired for Heights the other week showed potential, I think his name was Phil. Potential to make everyone fall over laughing.

very true TD but there would have been no game without him

Look I totally understand that we wouldnt have a game without them.
I believe a good ressies umpire is a guy who lets it go and only pays the VERY obvious frees and sends off the blokes who throw cheap punches in front of the umpire.
Not one who only pays frees when the team they are umpiring for starts yelling for frees. Or one who will watch their team throw punches and do nothing about it and then send off the other teams players for minor incidents.
When a game is decided by less than 9 or 10 points the umpires can have a say in the game, especially with bullcrap 50m penalties.

I've played in a game where one umpire was some biast it wasn't funny. Then the other umpire started doing it and the game turned into an absolute joke

That's probably happened in about 10 of the 15 games I played this year. It does get frustrating and the players could end up taking it out thus starting a brawl.
Does anyone know the reasoning behind the reserves not having official umpires?

I believe that the WRFL do not have enough field umpires to allow official ones for every game. Also being that Div 1 is the 'premier' competition they feel that Div 2 ressies is shit football & doesnt deserve umpires....

In saying that I find it ridiculous that ALL under 18's (with the exception of maybe 1 or 2 games) get official umpires every week....
Also the fact that there is an abundance of boundary umpires, sometimes we even get 2 per side of the ground....mind you the other point is that if the league do not supply umpires the club has to & it states in the rules that boundary umpires must be 16 years of age or over....wonder how many of the WRFL umpires are over 16?????

A possible solution could be that each game receives one official field umpire & the home team has to provide a club umpire that way the official umpire can keep control of it all.....who cares if Div 1 reserves only get 1 umpire? Certainly in games like Glenorden V Port Colts (where u know the result beforehand) then having no umpires & using club umpires would be sufficient....

i play for the colts spent 1/2 the year in the 2's and we have only had official umpires twice... and on the we played spotty top 3 clash and had club umpires who ruined a great game of football so it seems thre is just a mass shortege everywhere

 

[typewriter]

finals are here and seeing as tho there r only wests heights and north foots ppl on this thread who do we consider the biggest challenger besides our own clubs to winning the premiership this year?

div 1 reserves often dont have any feild umps clubs supply 1 each and on most occasions are better than wrfl official umps anyone agree

i think we can thank the idiots like the one from Sunshine under 18's for belting an umpire as a reason why nobody wants to umpire

We found out today that club umpires do have a say.....Dragons umpire wasn't there today and the Heights went to water....

And the ferals tag that is put on West by you Heights scum is a misnomer, if you things aren't the dirtiest supporters in the comp with your filthy mouths,the ********s in the grandstand ought to be shot with a ball of they're own shit....

Well if that isnt the pot calling the kettle black.....

All supporters have a right to their opinion...im sorry if heights supporters dont use having a gutful of grog as an excuse to abuse opposition & umpires....unlike We$t

As for this shit Bones told the boys not to stay & watch...I saw him there until well after 3/4 time....

 

[roosters44]

Hmmm, they stayed and watched and saw your reserves Captain run on the field and cause havoc....

I would have stayed and watched you but there was no more reservations in the trailer park....

Must of been his twin Astro? Either that or you dont know who Bones is. He was at Shorten Reserve training the boys.

I'll call it early.

West to smash Albanvale next week by 10 goals plus
Heights to win on the Sunday
Albanvale to beat Heights following week
then......
West vs Albanvale GF.

West to win again this time by 3 goals.

Fair predictions. Although I wouldn't completely write off Heights yet. (Yes their may be some bias in my opinion) But we did put in a pretty average performance on the weekend and only walked away with a 15 point loss. Full credit to west, they were the better team on the day and deserved their win. But we do have the ability to beat them should we meet again.
Some poor kicking and bad decision making by our players will hopefully improve next week.
Also looking to regaining our full forward this week, which will be a huge inclusion.
So beware the Dragons.

This week against Wests there were several players who were underdone because of coming back from injury. Half the team decided to watch Wests play instead of playing from the first bounce. We made some poor decisions when attacking and our structure just wasn't quite right.

You will find that when we play North Foots next week that we will be alot more focused and harder at it. Wests gave us a good wake-up call as we had played softer sides just before finals.

North Foots will think this will be a walkover due to the fact that in Rd 11 they beat us by 43points. Let me warn any Devil readers that this side has changed drastically. We are a serious threat to the FLAG!

Havn't had a chance to check the Wests side on the Website yet but considering that I thought their side was stacked and we lost by 15 points, I would say this is a great effort for a side that under performed.

Mate I don't think anyone from North Footscray thinks the game will be a walk in the park and nobody has said that. Only Heights and West are arrogant

Wrfl Div2 Reserves

Only Heights and West are arrogant

I would hardly think Heights are arrogant.
What Bragging rights do we have?

Our Seniors on the otherhand do have rights to have some arrogant. They have the side which can knock off Wests!

Your welcome to check the website but you will find that there was not 1 senior player out there on Saturday. You played a near full strengh reserves side without a couple of guys that didn't play due to not training.

Id did check your Rd 17 side and your spot on.
Lets hope if we meet again that it poors down with Rain. That will be Wests bick weakness. To many talls and not enough run. You would have to agree that after half time Heights were finishing stronger!

You might find that rain will help West with their running game coming more into the play. Saturday's environment called for long kicking into the forward-line. Also West only played 2 quaters of footy (1st & 3rd). Had they played 4 quaters you would not of got within 6-8 goals. Very clear to me that you went to Faisel too much which is easy to defend. You may need to find a new avenue to goal next week.

Groga played seniors round 17 and reserves on the weekend. Will play seniors again this week

There were about 15 guys out there on Saturday that have played senior footy this season. He played well enough to be considered for next week but who are you going to leave out?
