WRFL Division 2

[Gemini17]

Improving the facilities is definitely a council thing. Maybe the Council might be more helpful if West Footscray could throw a few bob in along with Council money to assist with facility improvements at Shorten instead of handing out envelopes out on a Saturday night.!!!!

The council would be fully aware West pay players so why would they spend money on facilities at Shorten when West Footscray FC are not prepared to chip in themselves to improve facilities, instead of buying players.

Maybe with your next application, throw a few grand in and things might happen. You will find that most clubs work in with their council rather than just expect the council to do it. I even heard of one club getting new clubrooms , the council provided the materials and the club provided the labour.

Maybe West might want to be proactive rather than blaming council for the state of their facilities. Better facilities will attract better players and l would suggest a lot cheaper as well. Then the football community might take your Division 1 aspirations seriously.

As an example of West contributing to improvements - you may have noticed some light poles laying down in the carpark. West purchased these and were going to buy the lights and pay for the installation, only for the council to reject it. This would allow the club to train on the full ground and not just the clubrooms wing, which now has f-all grass on it due to wear and tear.

Sorry GBF, until we sell the poles we will not have enough money for a toilet door.

Thanks TW.
Here's the way Guy Incognito sees it:

Albanvale will beat Deer Park convincingly in what's shaping up to be a good hit-out. No, I'm not contradicting myself: the contest will be tight, but Albanvale will do a far better job of putting the score on the board. Don't worry if you miss the show - there'll be a second screening in a fortnight.

Brunswick will finally live up to the potential that they've shown and win a game, albeit against the second-biggest joke in the league. This will place the wooden spoon firmly at the feat of the Magpies unless they can beat Wyndhamvale next week. I'm tipping not.

Gladstone Park will continue make the Magpies look like the second-biggest joke in the league - Districts to win by twenty goals, fourteen teeth and a mullet.

A bitter sweet victory by North Sunshine will remind them that they might have been playing in 'Round 18' if Deer Park's centre square didn’t look like interstate 35W.

Heights will beat Braybrook at Glengala road, just as they would anywhere else in the world, in a match that will hardly be a worthy finals lead-up for a team that's planning to make an appearance in the last game of the year. The question on everyone's lips is will the Dragons go ahead with the audacious plan of playing the second and forth quarters with everyone's shoes tied together.

Finally, West's canny coaching staff will realise that a win achieves nothing for them this week but a loss will guarantee that the dangerous Devils will meet the equally ominous Dragons in the first round of finals. As a result of this epiphany, Bones will rest his entire senior team giving them a chance to recover from the strenuous drive to Deer Park last week. North to pull off the upset by less than two goals.

No i didn't. Let me make it clearer for you.

Altona, Yarraville or Chirnside - I am saying, I bet you will field the same side for all of them and you could pick that now, if anything, very minimal changes and it wont be based on ground, it will be based on opposition match ups or injuries.

I was also saying that the rubbish about you need 3 weeks notice about venues to plan the above is a bit much in my view. Next you'll be talking your offensive structure, your internal processes and your key performance indicators and how to combat travel time between grounds...hahahaha reality check mate - its Division 2 WRFL local footy..dont get too clouded by it all mate.

Basic premise being, if you are any good in this comp. you'll get a game regardless of ground.

Yeah your right about all the grounds being big i was hoping you wouldnt come up with that yourself, was thinking all along but we were half through an argument, couldnt go down that easy. All finals grounds will be good guess its just the individuals prerogative to want to know where they are playing, for me as long as i know the thursday before i am happy

Just to let, you know West even went and brought new lighting that would allow even night matches be played (sure ground still crap BUt good light allow a lot more competitive and structured training schedule), and even got electricians to put them up AND THE COUNCIL STILL CANNED IT, OH FOR THE RECORD IT WAS GOING TO COST THE COUNCIL $0, which is the same as what height pay all there players too! (sorry cheap shot, but it was there

7 Preliminaries at Albanvale now 2 A1 flags. You can't even get a job so your dig at obe1 is really an embarassment to yourself.

Dont turn some light hearted jibes into something personal two heads, my mate Rocks coat tails are big enough for the two of us. I'm just an old cone mover that happened to be in the right place at the right time.

Do me a favor if you can though, win the flag and come and say hello some day.

What was with Ash "Turtle Neck" Lewis missing training on thursday to go to see Gwen Stefani in concert. Surely he doesnt think he is that good he doesnt have to train. What was the coaches reaction?
