Yeah, i'm sure it will have a huge impact on the West Footscray v Braybrook game lol, just pretend it's Sydney v Essendon. Grab a $3.50, enjoy the day and watch local footy, if you need a afl fix, check the afl score when you're grabbing another cold one. Hope to see you there....
$3.50 beer i meant....

Evo whats with Falcons requesting 2 games home and away against bottoms sides 
[/quote]
HO HO HO Merry New Year to all.....lol well it is now 2012 and local footy is only a few months away....praccy games will be upon us shortly and i suppose everyone is eagily awaiting the opening of clearances to secure their prize bulls and lock em in so to speak hahaha....
On the vales requesting games against lower sides I believe it is not so much a request but the norm of the last few years. We seem to always match up against Lavo in the local grudge match so we can attempt to towel them up in front of their past players day, sorry Justin (as they usually set that day as their preimership win was against us I believe) and because of this we usually get a return game which is always good as we seem to get a bit extra bar sales from the lavo community which is awesome. If I am correct in saying Lavo are certainly expecting to be a top 5 side so I would not say that is a win off the bat...
If the 2nd team you are refering to is Braybrooke it happens that we have the same major sponsor so the big boys at each club thought it would be a great spectical and honour to our sponsor (who is an absolute ripping bloke) to play in a 'cup' game where we fight it out for the love and admirration of the man who seriously does go the extra mile to ensuring that our club is going forward and more importantly stays in touch with the community in which he is highly regaurded in. So altho there is a difference in ladder position between our 2 clubs last year...that really does not mean much as the brookers are having a real dip during the so called 'trade period' and are expecting a big year.
And just on the draw it seems to be an even one from what I can gather, no real discrepencies for certain teams and from my usual off season spying most sides are looking pretty good...all teams that I have seen have had good numbers on the track and look to be working pretty hard so hopefully that equates to a close and hard fought season.
I think finals positions could be decided yet again over the last few rounds of the season which would be great for Div2.
Anyway the Vales are certainly going to be working our butts off to continue to play good footy....
I cant wait for clearances to open as I am tipping a fair few very big surprises to be exiting and entering some teams this year...a couple that will shock a fair few people and possibly have a couple of clubs asking 'What the F#*K' and some serious finger pointing.... but good on the coaches that have the balls to ask the question to some of these players.... anyway that is all I will say for now bring on the awkward shapped ball as I am sick to death of the cricketers claiming they actually run and need a ground to 'train' on lol cricket training is done in nets and with a beer and a poker table near by....hahaha
Evo out....

Reading that most clubs are looking forward to practice matches, mainly against teams from kindred leagues - and not just for bragging rights (if we lose, it's only a practice game, but if we win, then our league is better than your league).
A North Sunshine practice game against Chadstone, (last in VAFA Div 4 - that's 'G' Grade) for at least the past two years could be good for both clubs.
It would certainly attract beneficial media interest, notwithstanding that it would be advantageous for both clubs in terms of recruitment advertising.

Not a bad idea Seaside. Both these clubs have had some media interest in the last few years. They could promote the game and maybe attract a few sponsors. Sell it as a demonstration of the resilience of 2 football clubs. Chadstone have not won a senior game since about 2008 and I think their reserves may have 1 victory in that time. Have to admire a club that can endure a run of outs like that and still stick together. As you point out D4 in the VAFA in actually 7th division so you would expect North Sunshine would be a good chance of posting a win.

I would come out of retirement and play a game for Nth Suns just to try and help.
Also promote the fact the No 4 draft pick is a Nth lad

Evo, any truth that Disanto from Nth Shore is heading to wyndahmvale? Justin is Jacobs fully fit this year?

Thanks for your input JimmyJack; on the other hand I hope that it has created more enthusiasm than what has appeared in this medium. I am sure that it would be a great advertisement for not only the Roadrunners and the Synners, but also for the two football fraternities, being WRFL and VAFA, showing that friendship and support for and between clubs and leagues is alive and well.
I did like your reference to ‘resilience’, a brilliant depiction of both clubs.
Perhaps our local ‘Star’ football scribe together with a colleague from the Chadstone area’s local newspaper could be more than happy to run with this.
The game could be played at the Whitten Oval.
Channel 31 is also a chance, as they need practice matches too. (Footy Show Ch 9??)
Imagine the publicity!
Consider the crowd and the clubs’ potential revenue on the day!!
HOWEVER, only the two clubs can organise this and I do hope that they have the professional resourcefulness to contact each other, form a working party, allocate duties and set rules for the playing group (no ring-ins). Should this all come together, it will be win-win for all concerned.

I doubt the two most struggling footy clubs in melbourne would pull much of a crowd

I have to agree with this comment. As much as i wont to see Nth Sunshine Improve and stick with it, i cant see a practice match where premiership points are not up for grabs pulling that big of a crowd. The best case senario for both participating clubs would be some media attention and possibly a decent sponsor coming on board for both clubs. But hey its good to see ppl thinking outside the box for their clubs

We at West are happy to be involved in the match on Anzac day, hopefully a few from other clubs come have a look and it continues to be an annual event. Not much has been said about recruits on this forum, everyone is keeping their cards close to their chest.
Very quiet on this thread,would like to know everyones predictions/opionions on how they think the ladder will finish at seasons end!!!!
I'll have a go:-
Wyndhamvale
Parkside
Yarraville
Coburg Districts
Albanvale
Glenorden
Caroline Springs
Laverton
West Footscray
Braybrook
North Sunshine
remember this is only my opinion/prediction,so dont shoot me down...

From what I saw last season, Caroline Springs will need to improve out of sight to finish 7th... It's a big call having them finish above both Laverton and West Footscray!

Yarraville did not play finals last year, they would need to be recruiting pretty heavily in order to become the team to beat, espicially with Wyndhamvale, Parkside and even Coburg being very active in the early part of the recruiting stages, all these teams finished above them last year. Yarraville will definatley improve and play finals but not the team to beat not yet anyway. Wyndhamvale would be the team to beat at this stage i would say with Parkside not far behind. Coburg and Yarraville nipping at their heels, and Glenorden, Albanvale and West Foots the next best and fighting for the final position in the top 5.

Wyndham Vale and glen orden will be the teams to beat.
Will be surprised if anyone has been more active in recruiting than glen orden...
