Yes Oakleigh too good for WB today Joe. It showed the disparity between the top couple and the rest. Oakleigh just kept the pressure on and their class prevailed. A decent game of footy though.

Yes Chump, you are correct. Two WB reports and suspect several weeks for both. I think the 2nd for striking. Yeah West were lucky to get the win against a side largely unrecognizable to the powerhouse of last season. Cheers Silver

Wasn't at the game Chump but heard it got very willing, potentially after that incident? Pretty unlike West and Ivanhoe in the games I have watched the two sides play last year. Hopefully the young bloke is okay. It's one thing to be injured but a player might hope not to get knocked out in an...

As a newbie following West Brunswick into this Div 1 forum I must say it is lacking the genteel nature of the Div 2 thread in 2022. It's starting to read like the EDFL .... or my own GVFL forum during Co-vid lock downs. Settle down folks. Life is good. 😎

West Brunswick started well but ultimately GE flexed their muscles and kicked the last 9 goals of the game. A lesson for the WB boys really.

Hmm. I'm not so salty as you but the 'wickers beat your mob! That said, I will stand by my pre-season prediction of a WB mid-table finish. They will not be bottom if they can beat Oakleigh. Yet to play Preston. Ivanhoe will improve markedly if they get the sort of team on field they had last...

You put bullet holes through my white flag of truce Diamante! 😂 Who do you support by the way? Remember you had WB on the bottom and Ivanhoe top of the ladder you great Oracle of football knowledge. Ps. WB beat Oakleigh. Yet to play Preston. You keep at it oh wise one!

As I suspected Joe. WB will finish mid-table given they currently sit 2-3. Kew demonstrated the disparity between top Div 1 sides and those outside the finals mix. Lost one of those by a few points. Belted by Kew and beaten comfortably by Prahran. Not terrible for a side promoted to Div 1. I...

Had a look at WB v Prahran today. The Two Blues a bit more structured and talented for WB. They locked down WB's small forwards (Buckler kicked 1 I think) and moved the ball better. They looked like a team that finished in finals last year. WB look like a team that will finish mid-table. I...

Keep your Tiara on there Diamante! 😃 All will be revealed in the fullness of time but best to remember, it's only a game of Div 1 Amateur football.

Pretty much summed it up Chump. Goal for goal in the latter parts until WB kicked ahead with appalling conditions not helping either side. I had presumed Ivanhoe would win but did note the amount of quality players missing from their Premiership team. Looking forward to some sunshine amidst...

Well Diamante my friend, based upon last night's result you best keep watching footy. Your projected bottom team has rolled your projected top team in Round 1 Hmm.

Agree with your sentiments. We discussed on the Div 2 thread, but Ivanhoe were a level above the others last year. It's a new season and Div 1. I suspect WB will be mid-pack, but without knowing Ivanhoe's current situation, they were a powerful unit last year. Big and strong. Fabulous...

Yeah sorry, I was recently rescued from an island with Gilligan! The Skipper too ... I guess it will play out throughout the season. 😁

Why have WB on the bottom? Having watched the 2022 GF, and Ivanhoes win, I suspect your suggested disparity in finishing positions in 2023 is a stretch!

Prefer your side to the league one Hammer! The team of the Year should include the best players from the best teams. As an adopted WB supporter Risstrom is any team I would select. Ivanhoe were a powerful unit this year. Watched them v WB three times. So impressive . Watched games against...

Team of the Year. Thoughts?

What a fabulous Grand Final! I haven't seen a lot of VAFA footy but it was a spine tingling contest. West Brunswick lead all day only to be defeated by a mighty effort Ivanhoe in the final 90 seconds. As adopted West Brunswick fans we were watching the clock as it ticked to 30 minutes expecting...

Hey Chump. Looking forward to reading your preview of Sunday's game. For what it's worth I think a drop of rain might be forecast and sunny Sandringham might become windy and somewhat wet Sandringham. Does that suit WB more than Ivanhoe given the supreme marking prowess of Close and the other...

Did RIsstrom play CHB Cloud? He is the best player at WB IMO. Didn't play against Ivanhoe last week so his influence might be helpful if WB are to change the result. Cheers Silver

No I didn't sadly Chump. Was on the couch watching the same game as you. WB would want to change something to get near Ivanhoe based upon last week. Hopefully a ripping GF. Where is the GF held? Cheers Silver

Looks all over at Whitefriars. West Brunswick v Ivanhoe GF.

Love your work Chump! With regard West Brunswick forwards you named half the side but forgot Hutchins. Buckler 38 goals. Hutchins 33 goals Both similar size and weight. Both very dangerous small-ish forwards if delivery is half decent. Buckler jumps at the footy better in the air. The big IN...

A massive statement today from Ivanhoe Chump! Way too good. That third quarter was huge! I don't see West Brunswick or any other side getting near your boys based upon what i watched today. Well played. Silver

Magnificent summary Chump. Tend to agree, but my head over heart suggests with Selwood and Close back your mob will beat West Brunswick. Heart hopes otherwise. Keep up the good work mate. Silver

Yes Chump, Billy is a ripper. Big Maxy at CHB the other big out for WB. That said, I would suggest Ivanhoe could be anything with a full contingent on a dry track come September. Ivanhoe still favourites from my perspective. I'm only new to this thread/league as my son is playing for WB. It's...

My understanding is your mob had several key players missing today Chump. Selwood, Close et al. might make a difference come finals. That said, WB had several important Players on the sidelines also. Watched the game today and on bog heap I thought Ivanhoe looked better early. It was scrappy and...
