Good for the club though i reckon in the long run. Those boys will only be 18's for 1, maybe 2 years. Will be seniors for a lot longer

As someone who played three games a weekend for a year, followed by two years of two games a weekend as a teenager, it's not that good for your body long-term.

If they're good enough to play senior footy let them, but backing-up on a Sunday week-in, week-out will come back and bite eventually.

It's happening all over the shop mate, at least Eastern Park is rotating their 18's, hence the indifferent form. Elizabeth's top 5 or 6 are playing A's aswell, Westies definitely would have more playing A's every week.

Happens every year, there's alot of guys having to double up playing As/Bs on the Saturday and U18s on the Sunday. If your winning and successful it is a bit easier but if your losing it does get harder quicker to play and perform as the season to play two games a week and yes, it does eventually catch up with you.

Spot on pag, you need to have break from time to time to fresh'n up the body, not having a break can create injury problems & fatigue.

I myself have been playing the double along with about five others, if it was up to us we would chose to play seniors on a Saturday but that would leave a side struggling to put together a solid 18 each week on the following Sunday. As u can see we are struggling as an under 18 side and without us lads backing up we would be even more screwed. Overall it is tough to chose to either desert your mates or not want to play at your highest level possible

Ugly incident in Broadview v Ingle Farm game. Ingle Farm player reported for kicking a Broadview player in the Head /Jaw

[Footy Chick]

You forgot ALLEGEDLY

On a lighter note - I think Piccachu and Fisty have trouble counting as the Portland 18's were caught with 19 on the field on Sunday...TWICE

(So I've heard )

Hmm these is becoming a common occurance with Ingle farm, earlier in the year there was a all in brawl between portland and Ingle farm there president approached me after the game and said the lad who sunk the boots in would never play for Ingle farm again, only to see him playing the next week

not sure were you got twice from FC we did have a count just after half time as 1 of the lads wasnt listening when we read out the side. we did notice and sent the rummer out to get 1 of the lads but Smosh also realised as the lad was coming of the ground

Ugly incident in Broadview v Ingle Farm game. Ingle Farm player reported for kicking a Broadview player in the Head /Jaw

Like Piccachu said, happened with us and Ingle farm have done nothing about it. Probably cause it was there best player who is the leading goal kicker.

What number was it FE??

I can categorically tell you that there is no chance piccachu can count, none whatsoever

I do expect more from Fisty though

Watched the North Haven and Gepps Cross game on the weekend. A young lad from Gepps Cross had the best work rate ive seen from a junior. I believe he played a grade the day before also. He was built like a rugby player too...anyone know his name ?
