Truth Hurts
Senior List
Maybe they shouldnt have had a go at Dorey, but its suprising one of his team-mates didnt have a go at him earlier on in the year. I hear from around the traps he is not well liked!

Like goesbang says club culture is important. At Heights we have averaged about two send offs per year for the last few years. A couple have been for swearing at himself, throwing a football on the ground and wrestling with a guy who started the wrestle. So discipline at Heights is first class and anyone who steps out of line gets pounced on and punished as they are letting 20 mates down.
All our new recruits are treated with respect and have all fitted in very well. All are hard workers and want to play good football at their new home. All very good players and all are starting to come out of their shells and show their personalities also. It is a very exciting time at Heights at the moment.
Also with about 70 names been on the track already anyone who turns up just before the season or during it I dare say can expect to train for 3 or 4 weeks before being considered. Thats whats happened other years as it is not really all that fair to the guys who have put in the work. Always some players are upset but everyone understands why.
Close Dekka. There was a fight between a Centrals player and a Nth player, when another Central player run in and abused the umpire he was also sent off. Instinctively and stupidly he then grabbed the umpire. A Nth player who was there then grabbed the Centrals player at about a second after the Centrals player grabbed the umpire and tried to pull him off. This pulling pulled the three off balance and pulled the umpire toward the ground. Looked a lot worse than it was and who knows what the Centrals player would have done had he not been grabbed. He may have gone worse or he may have pushed the umpire away. Nevertheless the Centrals guy deserved his suspension for even touching the umpire,
That is incorrect Truth Hurts. Dorey is one of the most popular players to represent the Devils over the past decade.
I hope you are right Tony. Don't know the fellas involved so it is difficult not to speculate a little. Just speaking from past experience.
70 players on the track is unbelievable amount. We would be lucky to have had 40-45 in total train (over the 4 nights in 07).
Our tally is from the 14 sessions before christmas also so we have had longer.

Well he won a b&f there a couple of years ago and was best ruckman in the comp easily, he would of hit the ball to me hundreds of times....
And tell ya he's better than Kehagius, although when he went back last season he didnt get much of a go in the ruck...........apparently smashing the ball out of the ruck rates more than putting it on someones chest in the centre square......
Oh, and if ya still think he's ********e ask skippy how he rates him
But hey, we got rid of huffy so it might be ok this season!
Only my opinion, but there is no way he has ever been the best ruckmen in the comp. Will admit that he played a top game against Heights in the Final last year, taking a few nice grabs.... but before that I have seen him play against Heights in the forward line and Heights would play a 5 ft 8/9 player on him because they don't rate his ability to have any influence as a marking forward.... I'll take Kehagias over him any day!!
I see u have a few new recruits... are u able to confirm what players u have lost?

Only one that I know of only who played Reserves and Seniors last year.
No others have appeared or been spoken of. What have you heard.
Is Matt Ravalli playing again at Parksode.
Come by and have a look. Hopefully have good numbers. Training has been very hard lately, picked up the intensity big time. Almost threw up on Monday.
Great bunch of guys too and the most positive feeling that I have ever seen at the club. Did you train at Nth Footscray.

no i didnt train there a mate i work with told me Sunshine heights might be the way 2 go with no1 chasing money there which sounds good 2 me. from my experience when certain players chase money they play for themselves not for their team
your mate knows his stuff...... fingers crossed that your over 6 foot.... they don't seem to grow much in Sunshine.
If there is anyone on there that is over 6ft 2 and is able to stand upright.. and breath unassisted..... head down to heights and ur a fair chance to play ones!!!

Just out of curiousity, who did win Coburg's B&F last season???
Not to bag Mitch - loved playing with the big fella and he was great for us up forward and gave good breaks to others in the ruck by rucking the forward line. Also an absolute gentleman.
Apparently you didn't see the final against Sunshine Heights when in the last quarter Fabian got the ball guided down to his hands three times in a row and pretty much got us the game winning break. Or the game against North Sunshine when three goals were kicked from taps to players at the boundary contest in the space of 15 minutes.
Not one to talk myself up but to suggest all I did was smash the ball out of the centre is just silly.
As for Huffy - I just hope you've provided the years of service that he did to the club before you go on spouting about how good it is there without him.
Spot on Kangaman.......how's the recovery coming along ?
Buddy it is a computer, not a mobile phone you are typing into. Please communicate in English.
That said, even though you don't appear to be the brightest spark you are still welcome down at North Footscray!

Yeah I think you are right Red Devil. He sounds like a drongo to me. We are trying to get thinking players at Heights. Hopefully he can play if he comes down otherwise he mite hav da fnd another club 2 play wit.
Who is Daniel Mitchell. Never gets mentioned when playing Coburg as someone to watch, keep an eye on, tag nothing. Never heard of him. Probably won a b and f when you were finishing 3rd or 4th last on the ladder which til 2006 was most years.
Kehagius is for mine is one of the best ruckman in A2 . I think you should show him a bit more respect with him being a good bloke and also winning your b and f and probably a fair reason you made finals and won a final. Unless you are whoever Mitchell.
