Not sure who you think I am Dragon but congrats on the win.
As has been discussed Sunshine Heights had way too much run. A lot of old blokes can't run like they used to and our younger guys didn't work hard enough. Thoughts Tats were pretty solid, but you had a couple of small,skinny blokes who can play. 10 and 40 I think. The full forward was also handy.

**** Ive been told that you are Pres of the Devils "Woka" ****
**** The premiership quarter was the game turner. When we turned into the last quarter ahead by 2pts and having advantage of the strong breeze we knew that the Devils were spent. I guess playing some Injured players also didn't help ****
Can you let me know what happened to the regular FF. Is it D.Wainwright?
He has nailed us a couple of times in the last couple of years.
I'm not Wocka.
Munkee Wainwright. Was an absolute gun footballer. Another one of our older blokes who has been injured a lot of late. Named on the bench against North Sunshine (only because he had only trained once in two weeks due to injury), so cracked it and hasn't been seen since.
Great bloke so hope he will be back.
What a cracking weekend of finals football is was in the reserves this weekend. Both Heights and Albanvale running over their opponents in the last quarter, shows that all 3 remaining teams are serious contenders and any 1 of them could take it out.
Heights showed that they shurgged of the loss to west in the previous week and we're back to their best. Should set up a fantastic re-match on sunday and I'm sure neutral observers will have a hard time picking a winner.
Any neutral observers who caught sight of the games have any predictions?

Oh what a roller coaster of emotion for the Heights faithful
Saturday saw the One's lose accrimoniously to the might of West.
However.............. the one constant throughout the year bar last week has been the competitiveness and spirit of the once maligned twos.
As a playing group you'll see none tighter, led by the notorious Sticks.
He led them out to battle for one of the last time's in his career, they fired the first shot, then succumbed to a barrage of goals in the 1st quater, 6 to be exact.
Then a remarkable opening turned into a Noose like grip as the Heights squeezed and choked the life out the pensioners from roberts st. They left North goaless in the 2nd & 3rd terms, the 3rd term standing out because of they had a 6 goal wind behind them.
Strong contributions came from
-Con who was silky smooth,
-Tats who as he so succinctly put it "killed it".
-Andrew the python erased all memories from the previous week with bullet like passes,
-Mushy stepped up and showed why he should have been there the week before,
-Knighta proved to be a wall unsurpassable,
-Rasha a workhorse like effort,
-Faisel went into express train mode,
-Marcel proved heights ruckmen are no longer easybeats,
-Hendo showed class and heart,
-Moga ate everything that hit the deck,
-Kiri just said "hard at the ball" watch & learn.
Special mention must go to the coahing staff at heights, the 7 changes that were made, worked to an absolute treat.

How are the braces going Kaz? The Dragons boys are complaining about the cuts you are leaving on the little fella! Also asking if you can refrain from using the words "Sunshine" "Heights" & "Dragons" cause your spitting on them when saying anything with an "S" in it.

I thought you were neutral.... I could tell by your last post that you had to be a Heighters fan... Especially naming all of the Guns on the weekend
That #32 (Mohammad Abdullatif) had a shocker..

I started off as a neutral then i couldn't hold back my true affliations, i'll sing them from the top of the The Age building
Chinny as we heights folk so lovingly refer to him wasn't in the side, thats how strong, the squad is, for a player like him (strong marking type forward, or a centre half back, who fully fit knows he is a senior player) to miss out means the competition for places is fearce. Look at typewriters, the side he tears to shreds year in year out, also didn't figure.

Cmon Kazza, You should know better than that. Chinny wears No.39 when playing. Also I believe other big names such as Butler, Cini & J.Time missed out this week. Should be a tough week on the track

I'm actually quite dirty on myself now, to forget who wears the coveted 32 is a sin, that the act of repent won't resolve
The man in question, did play. John Mogavero, I had him in my best, his mobility and rebound in the backline on saturday was vital to heights go forward, when the ball hit the deck his hands were clean, helped out by spoiling and bringing the pill to the ground.

Your also leaving out Costa Kyriakou a kid who has won a B and F, who played 15 games throughout the home and away season, was solid in defense all year and considering the ball was hardly down the backline all year polled fairly well in this years B and F considering it is his first year of senior footy. Very dissapointed that he has been left out of the finals squad so far this year. Can anyone enlighten me as to why finals comes around and all of a sudden he doesnt get a game. Does not deserve to be left out of three consecutive finals appearances.

Now your on the ball. My comments raised about Chinny raised a few eyebrows. Only people who are aware that the Leagues record was wrong would understand the joke.

Agree entirely with you there tru blues, for a first year senior player, to play out the majority of the home & away season, speaks volumes for Costa. His form over the season wasn't at all questioned, his attack on the footy was brave and never took into account his or anyone else's well being. The only logical explanation i could come up with was "Inexperience" unless there are other forces at work here.

I concur with your comments on Costa. Looking at the B&F Count he came equal 26th out of 57 players. Unfortunately when players filter down from the higher grade players have to miss, This reason doesn't justify why Costa should have been left out but based on players available who probably had more Senior/Ressie experience I would say this may have been the reason.
In rate Costa as a valuable member of the Back 6. Although it sucks what has happened to him this year he will have plenty of years learning the Backline trade and Im certain he will secure his spot.
Obviously playing so close to him I can see that he has some great assets to his game in being able to read the Ball well, making position and having good hand/foot skills. I think with some more body strength he will cope better with 1-1 contests.
i think it came down to experience and fitness. costa has a great attack on the ball but needs to learn when to go and when to stay back, which will definitly come with game time in the senior ranks. i also think fitness played a big part with the reserves team picked especialy last week based around fitness on the bigger grounds, so i think he was unlucky so were about 10 players. 5 including costa could easily warrant a spot in the team right now without any question marks but 28 doesnt go into 22 unfortunatly
Costa is a quality defender, who has been very unlucky (along with many others) during the finals campaign. He knows how to use his body well and it wasn't uncommon this year to see his big fist spoiling the ball away from his opponents. He has the right attitude (shown by his commitment even when not being selected) and will be first picked in the side in the near future.
How you looking this week TruBlues? I heard you President state on the radio on the weekend that you would were one of only four good palyers against West. He also mentioned that you needed to work on your goalkicking!
We were ordinary against you a couple of weeks back, but reckon we will give a better account ourselves this Sunday. I know Da Bomba and GBF50 don't rate us, but I am very hopeful
Forget this Costa dude Typewriter. I can't believe they can't squeeze you in for a game. OK your no Chris Judd, but you have terrific skills and anticipation. I remember watching you destroy us last year at Hansen Reserve. Must have had 35 touches. If you want to beat West (who I still believe are better than Albanvale) you need more than just leg speed.

We rate Nth don't worry about that. You will see a better Heights side this week than you saw two weeks ago rest assured. So use the 'they don't rate us' all you like for motivation but if thats all you have to fire your team up good luck.

It shouldnt only come down to fitness, but what you can offer to the team as an individual that noone else can. With this in mind typewriter should be one of the first picked week in week out.

What can i say, west were too good for us on the day, i have struggled with my goal kicking all yr, and i wouldnt say i was in the best 4. However, that is behind us, we do rate north footscray very highly, and will be prepared for a tough game this sunday.
