Pup,
I also forgot to say another relative was playing for Emerald that day, Jim Brennan, and I think he is a closer link to Jeff Bates than me
 
Fella's can anyone shed some light as to whats goin on with the interleague team for this weekend?

who's playing from what clubs? is there any 2nd divy players playing?

anyone would think that 2nd divy is the only comp or at least the top tier of the comp the way all you blokes bang on about it!

who is the best player in the competition?

I don't think your claim of 7 on Digger is 100% correct LukeClarke. ;)

It doesn't really matter who kicked how many on who. The Boners backline work as a team so you also need to factor in the CHF who didn't get a kick till he put himself in the midfield in the last quarter and the other forwards who were kept pretty quiet. It's the overall result that counts.

I was quite impressed with Seville's smaller midfielders getting the ball forward so often. The Boners had a couple out but Seville have promising kids there.

As for the premiership players in the seconds in2rested I can only think of 1 but he hasn't played seniors this year. There might be others who I've got a mind blank about.



The seniors actually had 2 kids who had already played in the 3rds earlier on, one making his senior debut.

Another thing rosy, CHF at thornton is almost impossible to play as that position is in no mans land on that ground. The ball continually goes over the top. Also i've seen you writing about the opposition CHF not going well a fair bit. I'm not sure who the CHB is at Thornton but when he is getting chopped out all the time by Hardy, Fisher and Edwards it makes life very easy for him! I think thorntons 2 best CHB are playing in the 2nds Sharp and Creighton
 
well onlooker if the centre half foward position is a non position at thornton why was shane parker amongst the best palyers this week.....

I wasn't referring to any one player.

People comment about the positions as though they're set in stone but in reality the Boners are a very versatile team and positions are changed around quite often. There have been a few players rotated through the CHB/FB/FF/CHF/Ruck positions this year with several changes during a game. You'll usually find if one isn't doing too well on the day the others will have compensated elsewhere.

I agree with Drago that Parks was very good. In fact I'd give him bog by a reasonable margin last week.

I can't remember seeing Sharpy play CHB since junior days and I'm not sure how much Sam plays at CHB in the 2s for you to judge him but it's certainly good Pup has the options.
 
Parker is a very mobile player who is more like a flanker than a traditional big chf and ventures alot further up the ground than the bigger bodied CHF all the other teams have. Throntons big forwards (elliott,hall,hourigan) from what ive seen (2 games vs alex and seville) play deep and let the mobile players push up to the wings and flanks leaving plenty of room on a smallish ground for the big guys to operate and I must say it works very well. I could almost guarantee that if parker played for opposition that cameron wouldn't play on him I would say it would be hardy or musgrove.

Fair enough rosy I agree that thornton are the most versatile side in divvy 2 by a long way. With sharp and creighton i am going off selected sides from 06 and 07 where they were named in those positions, creighton more so in 06.
 
Sorry one more thing. I'm not having a go at anyone from thornton you must be travelling well to be undefeated but I was just interested to see some very good players named in the 2s and commenting on wha I saw on the weekend.

No worries in2rested. The Chapmans had 1 run, against Yarra Glen, cos they'd touched a footy since last season. They were straight into the 1s after that.

None of the others you name have played seniors this year and some aren't always available for the 2s or are returning from long term injury.

It's hardly a seconds side dominated by senior premiership players.
 

(Log in to remove this ad.)

if thornton 2's had the same side as against seville plus a few extras every week, they would have no trouble competing with belgrave and alex. As they showed last year when they beat alex by 10 goals.

There is more than enough talent to prop the 1's up. If they turn up that is
 
No doubts thornton are a strong club but surely the star players in the 2's (sharp,marshall,phelps,ackerman and herridge)will end up in the seniors.(once a sniff of premiership comes??)

Yeh he's a very good player and an excellent pick up. He along with a couple of other recruits is why I think after a slow start Yea will make finals big 2 games coming up though against main opposition for that 5th and last final spot

thats the problem cakehole our 2's couldnt give a s@!t. if even just half of them dropped a couple of kilos and actually trained even just once a week they would be unbeatable. when you only have 2 reserve players train week in and week out they will go no where.
 
you are right. Unfortunately thats country football for you. All the dedicated ones to far away. But id take dedication to saturdays to training tho

Have to agree with you their pupsta when you look at some of the players who are or have been running around ( williamson,mottram,sharp,dent,creighton,davison,phelps,herridge,ackerman,grant,marshall,johnson)
All these guys from what I can remember were all talented players in the thirds and I think all of these guys played some senior footy in the cgfl or down south in the last couple??
When did ackerman cross from alex?? he's a good player

Agree with most of those guys, would also like to think Gallachio from Kinglake and Cowan from Powelltown (despite being in a poor team) are also both having ripping years. Heard and Oakley from Alexandra have also impressed as well.
 
YVMDFL May 24 Weekly Wrap

Silvan stamped itself as the outright flag favourite as it was able to withstand the challenge visiting Woori Yallock laid down as Monbulk also showed that it is still a side to be reckoned with. While in 2nd Division Thornton Eildon powered to another win while Yarra Glen continues there improvement.

Silvan hosted Woori Yallock and the prospect of a loss was something that Silvan just didn�t contemplate. The Cats controlled play for the majority of the day as Woori tried to mount a challenge in the final stanza. Owen Weatherly led all goal scorers with 7, as Gary Moorcroft, 6, Ben Haynes, 4, and Marc Bullen, 3, all contributed to the goal scoring tally. Jake Straughair put in a 4 quarter effort in the ruck while Kit Dale didn�t stop running all day as Silvan ran out winners by 17 points. Woori was led by Danny Ryan as he tried to rally his side to a come from behind win. Robbie Allen and Mitch Bonuda kicked 3 goals each to lead the Woori forward line.

Monbulk travelled to the much vaunted home of Mt Evelyn to try and get there season back on track after a couple of disappointing weeks. Mt Evelyn having improved significantly from last year had shown they were on the verge of taking the next step. Unfortunately for them, Monbulk was more determined to rectify there season and came away with a 19 point win. Tim Wragg was back to his best with 5 goals as David Alenson and Michael Hughson showed the form we are accustomed to. Matt Whitehead continued his fine season in front of the goals with another 6 as Steve Tesoriero and Chris Haworth drove the ball continually forward.

Upwey travelled across to Olinda and as able to take home the 4 points with a comfortable 60 point win. Simon Mitchell, 7 goals, and Michael Charles, 5, lead the way for Upwey while Chris Hayes and Andrew McQualter were solid 4 quarter contributors. Garrett McDonald with 2 goals was judged Olinda�s best for the afternoon.

Wandin travelled up the Hwy to take on Warburton. The day proved to be fruitful for Wandin as they were able to be on the right side of the ledger in a 42 goal shootout and come away with a 19 point win. Wandin Coach Paul Grayling and Jarrod Rickard both kicked 6 goals while the two Bonsak�s, Adam and Richard and Daniel King were outstanding on the day for the Bulldogs. Vincent Muccitelli played a lone hand up forward for the Burra�s as he kicked 10 goals for the afternoon.

Gembrook played host to the ever improving Healesville. The Brookers were hoping to get another win on the board but Healesville proved too strong. Healesville ran away with the game and post a 20 point win. Luke Barclay with 6 goals was again one of Healesville�s best as James Dunnett and Joshua Goding also played key roles in the win. Steve Goodie was again prominent for Gembrook with 4 goals while Andrew Shipp battled hard all day with 3 goals.

Thornton hosted the much improved Seville and after last weeks big win, Seville went into the game with renewed confidence. Thornton though was up to the challenge. Ryan Hall with 4 goals was again dominant for Thornton as Mark Hardy and Shane Parker were quality performers. Nathan O�Keefe with 7 goals lead the Seville charge but in the end it wasn�t enough as Thornton ran out comfortable 48 point winners.

Yarra Glen headed to Belgrave in a must win game. The Thunder worked hard for 4 quarters against a persistent Belgrave outfit and finished the game stronger and eventually won by 23 points. Dean Selkrig kicked 8 goals in a best on ground performance for the Thunder while Mark Ratten and Peter Moate also were solid contributors for the winners.

In other 2nd Division games Alexandra easily accounted for Yarra Junction by 59 points, Emerald defeated Kinglake by 57 points while Yea was able to defeat a resilient Powelltown by 111 points.

This week sees the league play a combined team from the North Central/Mallee leagues. The game is to be played at St Arnaud on Saturday.
 
Yeh those players you mentioned are going well but I hear that Gallichio is out for the year and going by kinglakes results they don't go to well without him. Definitely agree that cowan is a good player as well. I seen alexandra against thornton and Heard was ok but N. Oakley didn't have an influence at all. I think another oakley, adam (brothers??) is a very handy player.
