name what kids you are talking about who manor lakes "poached" from caro?? mate if you do the math caroline springs is a 30 minute drive without peak hour traffic from manor lakes?? so tell me why these parents of the so called poached kids would drive from carolinhe springs all the way to wyndhamve for their kids to play junior footy? trust me with the way society is going not many parents would drive that far for their kids to have a game of footy? nonetheless we dont even have a player from caro playing seniors with us anyway, blain berriman came down and loved the place, he said to me that there was a much better atmosphere down here but wanted to commit to rugby league solely this year as he was playing both last yr.... and some other ******* came down at the start of pre season but he stayed and was playing for you guys rnd1 against the vales... so instead of piping us every three or four pages saying ml stole all of your juniors i thought i would clear it up for you... also we are playing glen orden on the sunday mothers day which you would think will be match of the round IF both teams remain unbeaten, which also gives some people who are making accusations about both glen orden and manor lakes (fair or unfair) a chance to come down and watch some cracking local footy and have a few cheeky froffs on the sidelines...

You will find Haz 25 was talking about hoppers x taking our kids,maybe you should introduice yourself to Shane as you are both from Money lakes,as for blain you will find he owes fees to us ,and I'm sure Beeny Lancaster was our u/18 captain and is playing in the 1sts with your club :thumbsdown: :confused:

going to have a crack at a game by game preview hope you all enjoy the reading.

Glen orden vs albanvale.
After last weeks first real test for albanvale up against caro it doesnt get any easier for the cobras, they face a red hot glen orden who will be keen to put them back in their place. personally i believe albanvale will put up more of a fight (or kick straighter) than what they did against caro, but i think glen orden will keep them well out of arms reach to win by 65-70. i know i said they will play better but with the oppostion being of much better quality that is the reason for my margin.

Ml vs Caroline springs.
This looms as the lakes first real test in the clubs debut season, caroline springs have put up solid efforts against the better sides, so i think we will know more about ml after the match. in saying that you can only beat who you have been put up against which ml have been doing consistently. i think that there will be a bit of pepper in the match with a hint of a jealous streak from cs because of the bright start the newcomer has had compared to the hard work and struggle that the boys down caroline springs boulevard have endured over their first few seasons to date. I have watched both teams and i believe that manor lakes big bodies mixed with their ability to run and spread will get the better of cs and manor lakes to win by 30-40 points.

north sunshine v braybrook.
This looms as a must win match for both teams. Not in regard to finals because i dont believe either team can play at the pointy end of the season, in saying that we all saw what getting a win can do for players when the road runners overcame laverton two weeks back. Maybe it was a case of a win-hangover which left nths running out of steam against a determined SL last week, but nths have infact added a fair bit of tall timber and a couple handy players to their list to at least give some competitveness to them with the teams around them. Braybrook were poor last week against a goal rampaging ML last week on anzac day. But they finished off well in the last to save face a little bit, in my opinion they arent in the same sceanrio or any where near it for that matter. bombers by 45.

Parkside v.s Wyndhamvale.
match of the round! this will be a cracker! parkside have looked excellent this year only stumbling to the rampaging glen orden a few weeks back, and they quickly changed things last week to rejoin the winners list. parkside have what it takes to go all the way this year, but they do need alot of things to go right for them. on the other hand we have wyndhamvale who just like parkside have only lost to glen orden, also they seem to grow a foot when they play parkside and always put up a brilliant effort. But always falling short by 1,2 or 3 goals. This would be driving luke dennerly nuts i imagine, and he would have been preaching this all week to his young charges, who what they lack in height make up for in heart. the forecast of 19 and showers can work into the vales favour i believe as long as they hold onto the ball a touch longer coming out of their back 50, their style of looking to switch the play at every opportunity last year seems to still be the basis of their gameplan, but i believe they havn't been using it as much to get out of trouble with. Last yr opposition hff's in the better teams were awake to this and pressured the vales wing and hbf's to create turnovers resulting in goals. The addition of a target up forward in O'shea has straightened them up for a more direct style, to be honest i cant really seperate the teams and im going to go with an upset of the vales winning by 1-6.

sunshine heights vs west footscray.
this will be a non event with sunshine heights coming down from divvi 1 to show good form bouncing back in division 2, i have previously stated that i feel they are about 10 goals off the top sides, but they will give wests a lesson to win by 140+

Sanctuary lakes v.s laverton
watching laverton last week was like watching the walking wounded, they lost 2 early in the match against the vales, and played without a bench from half time onwards. the scoreboard doesnt reflect in but for about 1 & 1/2 quarters they were not too bad. The challenge for laverton will be to get some of their better players like aaron driver and mikka lindsay on the park. Paone was back last week but looked a shadow of himself. Sanctuary lakes will be keen to stay on the winners list and to keep the ball rolling, and will have no worries kicking laverton while they are down considering they themselves have been self confessed bullied child of the competition. i would expect plenty of people in the crowd for this one being so close in the vicinity of each other with abuse flowing from the crowd like the old F.D.F.L days. zurek a former laverton junior should have a day out and kick 10+ and SL to win by 100.

well that was longer than i thought it would be hope you all enjoyed :)

fantastic post, they will get bullied worse than than they have been bullied yet, especially the brothers :)))
 
Yep good read Willi. Vales by 1-6 is an interesting tip, especially at Parks with a bit moisture on the deck.
Yeah I know it would be a massive upset... I just think vales always grow an extra leg when they play parkside... That's not taking anything away from parks... I really believe they are the real deal... Just thought I would go for an upset for interest...
 
If the players weren't playing for Moran last year as has been stated on here ... Then what's wrong with the new coach

do you got a score?

have lavo gone backwards from last year?
Lost by 21 points... Not sure of the exact score as I wasn't there

As for your question.... They won two games last year will be extremely lucky to win 1 this year... Losing to north sunshine was downright embarrassing
 
Manor lakes are very very good and will def be a top 3 side! As for Albanvale WTF 196 points what a joke! In scared to face glen Orden they must be unbelievable

Will and may are two different things. They've played Lavo, North Sunshine, SL, Braybrook and C.S. The first 4 are struggling and I don't know what to make of CS. I'd say they may beat a top 3 side.

Maybe,
There is only two spots left for top 3, ( GO definate)
So, see how we compare to Parkside,Sunny Heights & Wyndhamvale,

( Maybe thats the top 5 there ? )
 
Will be interesting to see how Manor Lakes shapes up against Glen Orden this week. Even though both teams are undefeted, i think it'll be a one sided affair. GO have beat actual finals contendes while ML have beaten teams that most under 9 teams would beat.. GO to win by 80+ IMO
 
Very disappointing to hear that 16 and 17 year old kids are being paid to play Division 2 Under 18 footy. It’s alleged that the coach has been making sign on payments of between $400 and $800 and match payments of $50 to talented kids in the region without the knowledge of his club. Only last week his club become aware of the under the table payments and they aren’t impressed. The coach was called in and denied it, and has asked his players to also deny it when questioned by the club. He’s been making the payments in an effort to build a premiership team and improve his CV in an attempt to move into senior coaching ranks in the near future.
My understanding is that 12-15 players have been approached over the past six to eight weeks, with about half accepting the financial offer. Some of the parents and players who have remained at their existing clubs have raised the issue with their coaches and footy managers over the past six weeks, with one WRFL and one VAFA club lodging complaints with their respective leagues about non-contracted payments being made the kids.

Care to name the club?
