We don't want Rory Lobb, trust me on this.

UHS Preston Peninsula Kew Parkside

Sounds like a you problem that you're enraged by the presence of a footballer. I'd suggest meditation or just growing up. Premiership player, brother. I'll let Jimmy Bartel know you don't rate tackles in spite of his 16 he laid in the 2009 GF.

it's a shame because while I have always hated playing Therry due to their physicality and hostile crowds during the game, they're good people off the field and their aftermatch is always hugely respectful to the opposition from my experience and very hospitable. To be fair, I feel the same...

Truly delicious after your post about being disrespectful to Bews - who I agree will live on in Geelong folklore for his commitment to the club. 'I think he's a shit footballer' - yeah, let's slap a premiership player of this great club and call it constructive. Sorry, last bit was unneeded...

Seems like the top two have flexed their muscles - UHS and Parkside. Ormond a young side so might have some fluctuation between the strong and the inconsistent performances. Kew pretty similar to that as well, finding their identity under a new coach. What the **** happened to Prahran? I thought...

Xavier thirds update: Division Two North - Xavier beat Carey (a fully fledged APS side) by 111 - 129-18 Division Three North - Xavier beat Box Hill North (a struggling club who are relatively close to crisis mode) by 194 points - 209-15 - percentage 1455 Will there be an acknowledgement of...

Tippies (why not) Ormond Prahran Peninsula Kew WB

Yeah, gotta say, being someone being at the backend of playing seniors and ressies over more than a decade, I thought playing thirds would be a great way to cap it off, but the administration around the Thirds division is really disheartening, slow and unequal, and I wouldn't be surprised if...

Nothing wrong with them having heaps of players - it's awesome that the VAFA has such a thriving thirds competition across the board, but I am of the opinion that Premier clubs, at least A and probably B, should be separate from the divisional clubs in the thirds comp, as they are in the...

VAFA regrading of the thirds has seen a reshuffle to accommodate Old Xaverian teams to win as many flags as possible. With four thirds teams, two more than other club, they seem to be above the law of grading and apparently cannot be in the same division as other Xavier clubs. One of the Old...

I think Soldo is out for a month - Sweet was pretty good on the weekend so would be a good battle. I'm personally all for Conway this week against the very best, but I understand if the club has reservations. Stanley was very inconsistent over the weekend.

Cheers for your input.

Hard to get a read on this division atm - I think there's only two or three you can put a line through at the minute - Therry, Old Yarra and West Brunswick, although West Brunswick took Kew all the way to the siren after being down by seven goals at quarter time. Prahran were my favourite and...

ahhhh - my apologies. That makes sense. Got all worked up for nothing. Cats by 65.

I understand there has been a change in the guard in relation to football mentality and sport across the world - lots of old school ballers getting pissed off about star players taking rest days etc... however it is plain to see that we have athletes playing better for longer due to...

Very true - if we could actually assess this across the 125 years of the game, across the three major states up until the 80s, it would be a truly fascinating comparison. I mean, Senior started as a winger, right? Before he moved to the HFF and then of course the most famous iteration as a truly...

Also came back to preseason out of shape according to various reports. Probably was a case of a more satiated hunger post-premiership - it happens, particularly for a young guy on the fringes. This stimulus has really helped him find his potential, albeit for two games so far this year. Danger...

I think we all owe Cam Guthrie's dad a huge thank you for tipping off Wellsy about one of Cam's mates. That mate happened to be a person many refer to as the most versatile player in AFL/VFL history. Looking at some of the stats have been shared in this thread, it's hard to argue with that. What...

you know Toby Conway won't be reading this, right?

'Just kinda tackles people' - mate, he's played two and a quarter games, he's shown intensity and an approach that belies his experience. Pls. This is pissweak. We're not playing under 10s.

It's called depth.

Expect a truckload of Wattle Park content on the VAFA pages with the Marmalade fellas joining the club - putting all the tall poppy shit aside, it's awesome what they are doing for community footy and I hope it gets a few people who quit the game early to come back and play.

Nice, I'm hearing Therry to be a premiership threat this year, but hard to get a read from this division as everyone is pretty quiet! Kew played West Heidelberg and to quote WH players 'Kew ran rings around us'. Not sure who it says more about... however West Heidelberg are excellent hosts...

Crikey, give the man some time...

Bigfooty shits me, but I enjoy your work. A very reasonable, logical and well considered post.

Any praccies lined up for the next few weeks?

That's a fair response. I think it's a bit harsh to judge a young fella's performances purely on six VFL games and a quarter of big league, particularly when players of his ilk - hardnosed, high intensity, high impact game, take longer due to adjusting to the size of men they are playing against...
