I think they r out 4 the season as well as Central Altona.
North Sunshine, Western Magpies, Gladstone Park, North Footscray, Deer Park, Glenorden, Braybrook and Coburg Districts will get wins as Central Altona and Brunswick are allegedly suspended from competition.
Well the Western Magpies will get a win and they don't even have to turn up.

Can anyone confirm whether or not Deer Park picked up any players from Seddon. They seem to have gone from a good team to a very good team or are they just having a purple patch??
What are people's thoughts on the top 4 this year? Glenorden impressed me, they just run relentlessly and have earned the right to be flag favourites.
Deer Park were a good side, but I didn't think they were in the running although recent results could prove otherwise. Sunshine Heights were super-quick - from what I remember - but no a lack of talls should be their downfall.
Albanvale - kind of like Deer Park - pretty solid but didn't have the pace or the ability to run at pace all day like Glenorden.

They are not a bad team in a pretty ordinary season. I think Robertson is finished for the season (Can anyone confirm this?) and a few of there players won't get any quicker as the season goes on... so may drop off leaving Glenorden to take the bikkies
Glenordan and Deer Park safe in top 2 with double chance. 4 clubs eyeing off spots three and four for double chance.
Albanvale - next three Glenordan/Braybrook/Nth Sunsh (Would poss 2/3)
West Footscray - Braybrook/North Sunsh/West Magpies (Would poss 3/3)
Heights - Deer Park/ Glenordan / Braybrook (tough draw maybe 1/3 or 2/3)
Wyndhamvale - W/Magpies/ Gladdy Park / Coburg (Might drop one 2/3)
My predictions -
Glenordan
Deer Park
West Footscray
Albanvale (on percentage over Heights and Wyndhamvale) (I expect Wyndhamvale to drop one of those gimme games) If any team drops a game against a lower ranked team then 3rd and 4th spot becomes wide open.

As a former Ammo's player, I was having a look at their website today - killing time at work - and noticed they have team of the year. As this is only my first year in the WRFL do they have that? Who from your club would have to be candidates?
From Coburg Districts - for me maybe Andrew Monteleone, Joe Cali, Craig Hough Justin Gomez and Chris T I would put up as candidates.

allan burrdige CHB from braybrook , and shane geddes HBF from West Footscray would be 2 blokes that would be in my 22 for team of the year
Don't mean to be rude but i can't see any side wanting Brunswick Power players, not even Western Magpies, none of them are any good.

except Hardaway... every team in the comp would have him. Theres no way the league would let them play for other teams this year. Does that mean Centrals players can go to other clubs 2?
Sounds like crap to me
Guy's start planning for next year the flag has been won. No one will get near Glenorden. Ive seen enough. You could only say that there are 3 challengers.
West Footscray - Flogged by Glenorden twice this year... NO CHANCE
Albanvale - Beaten by Glenorden twice. I'll be generous and give them a 5% chance.
Deer Park - Beaten by Glenrden once.... but i watched them on the weekend and i kill tell you they won't win the big one because...
Catteral, Radford and Balshaw are too soft and won't get near it in a tough finals game.
Buhajar and King are Hot Heads and will cost them in the big games when the heat is on. Guranteed to explode.
2 big ruckmen playing behind the ball won't work on a big ground. If they are both on the field at the same time it's like playing 2 short... NO CHANCE.
To all the other teams... Start playin the kids now.

A fair assessment
Start playing the kids - we don't have any! Which is a shame cause some of us (i.e ME) are just hanging in there!
Big couple of weeks coming up for the final 8 - not disputing that Glenorden should win it all - if they don't biggest choke ever - but for some of the clubs battling for a finals spot this is definatley crunch time.

Unfortunately thats a huge problem for coburg!!
Whats the chance of Hough getting the job again... I really can't understand how he is still there. I think he has had the job for 5 years and I not 100% sure but I don't think coburg have played finals. In a 14 team comp with a final 8 thats a shocker.
He doesn't seem to have any tactics besides playin himself loose man in defence so he can rack up the touches!!

Corner of Cumberland and Kent - Cumberland is off Bell Street
As for Huffy - has suggested this could be his last year playing - has been playing hurt for 2 or more years now - will need one or maybe two op's post season.
As a coach - he's up there for me. I would like him to stay on, but if he chooses not to Gary Cutler is a more than adequate replacement.
I feel for Huffy as he shouldn't be held responsible for a few players losing their minds at oppurtune times. In at least 3 games we have been within striking distance only to lose it to poor discipline, which I must admit ****es me and a lot of people off.
A couple of big games this round - Glenorden vs Sunshine Heights, Falcons vs Gladstone Park, Districts vs Nth Footscray and Braybrook vs Albanvale.
Would love to see how the heights go against Glenorden.

That bad discipline is his fault. If it was his first year you could say he needs more time, but after 5 years if he can't change the discipline at the place he is no good. Was a gun player when fit but obviously can't put his stamp on a team as coach.
Heights usually take it up to Glenorden, but can't seem to get the win. Will be a tough ask today as Greto and Bugeja are out for the year but the boys from heights don't roll over for teams. Slight chance of an upset here

I typed up a huge reply on Sunday only to have my computer crash on me. So i'll see what I can remember here now.
Speaking with a few of the older lads down at Districts over the weekend - seems to be the general feeling that Huffy has been well taken advantage of by mates. They seemed to think that he hadn't drawn the line between friend and coach and that had affected his ability to come down hard on players who broke team rules.
In his speech before the game and speaking with a few others it seemed and looked like he's tired - he has worked his backside off for the club, both on field and off field and he looked spent.
But in saying that, the boys finally did rally around him, there was no mouthing off, only one 50 given away for the day which was great and when North Footscray surged we were able to finally stand up. But gee i'm so sore today.
Just having a quick squizz over the results, will Sunshine Heights be able to kick a winning score now with Greto and Bugeja gone?
And I think Districts vs WYND'VALE FALCS will be alot closer than most think. They did only beat us by 5 last time and we lost our ruckman early in that game. With Deer Park playing North Footscray, we have the chance to maybe sneak up a spot in time for finals if we play like we did last Saturday.
But in saying that, nobody's going to get close to Glenorden.
Thats the other thing, what is going to happen in regards to relegation and promotion? With Brunswick Power, Seddon and Centrals all pulling the pin early and whispers of new teams, will there be changes and promotions next year?
