Ch9 AFL Division 2 - 2015

[TIRED TIGER]

I'm sorry that it's ended like that for you.EB53.

[Demon Juke]

Rumours about Gepps cross this season look like they will be true!

[old moz]

tired Tiger, a wiser man than me said a long time ago, the most unrewarding thing you can do is get involved with a football club. I did not believe him, boy was I wrong.

he was wrong. the best thing is being involved in a footy club. the worst thing is getting involved with the running of a club....... you always piss someone off, as you know all to well.

[EB53]

That's the problem. "Many hands make light work" Too many people are prepared to sit back enjoy the benefits a football club offers and when asked to help out in some way the answer is always no "I don't want to get Involved". I suspect, that other clubs have or will go through the same thing.
The successful clubs Don't because rhey have a large contingent of volunteers willing to help out and ensure their clubs success.
It's called PRIDE, A SMALL WORD THAT MEANS SO MUCH.no one had more pride than me in our football club and our achievements. Unfortunately
at times I felt part of a very small group. Gepps will always be my club and I hope that the current situation that they find their in is temporary.

That is the worst attitude Ive ever heard.

Interesting info coming out of HQ about the Modbury v Scotch game last week. Apparently has to do with a report on a Modbury player for an alleged hit on a Scotch player. Anybody shed any light on this?

As in a punch to the head, or a mafia style arrangement

Pretty disappointing though, I thought you were going to tell us that Scotch warmed up at the wrong end

I've just been advised that this is before the tribunal so as per site rules, no one will shed anything until Thursday.

That's probably all you need to know for now.

Not sure how much FC will let me say, so will avoid the report largely. I will declare my allegiance to Modbury. The game was actually pretty good with MFC making more of their opportunities than Scotch. No 22 for scotch clearly BOG. 4 send offs for game, 3 to Modbury, 1 Scotch. 1 Red which I assume was the report. IMO it all started at first bounce with a certain scotch player unfairly targeting a Modbury player. Certainly in the big league he would of been penalised a couple of times and the rubbish would have been done and dusted, didn't happen and the continual niggling continued. I didn't see the three yellow send offs so can't comment. Did see the red / report incident and as FC has stated I can't comment.

What was concerning is the eastern boundary line being 2 metres from the picket fence - accident waiting to happen IMO.
Perhaps FS can enlighten us on the exchange between the runners at the height of all the action.

My sources may be wrong but I am led to believe the book has been thrown at the Modbury player in question (6)

[Sass!]

If he has gotten 6 it is an absolute disgrace.. the incident happened about 15 meters away from me and looked like a dumbed down version of what Jordan Lewis got 3 games for in the AFL... big difference was that our player was coming from behind to spoil and Lewis came from the side.. Interesting to note that when this occurred, not one Scotch player remonstrated as it looked accidental. the field umpire even said "I know it wasn't intentional but it was high"..

Maybe he had some games suspended from a previous indiscretion? For example, he may have been given 2 for this offence, but had 4 games suspended from a previous offence, so he gets a total of 6.

Player in question got suspended for 1 week back in 2012 I think it was, for accidental front on high contact.. . Pretty disappointing all in all, especially considering the field umpire right next to the incident said that it wasn't intentional but worth a yellow, while the official on the sidelines thought he better step in and assert some authority.. must of had a way better view from the bleachers.. the player is pretty positive bloke and will move on no matter what, but it certainly puts a dent in my faith in the system.

The notation of (6) was referring to the players number and not the number of games given or not given.

Always get a laugh when you hear someone get suspended, someone paints the player as an angel, you have a guess at which player from that club it might have been. Funny how often you're right.

Also, it's the Amateur League. You're not unlucky to have been suspended twice, you're likely dirty and have gotten away with it far far more times than you've been caught

^^ looks like the penalty was 4 weeks suspension

Good game between Broadview & Scotch O.C. yesterday went down to the wire with the Tigers winning by 2pts in another close one against Scotch.
Just got over the line last year in a tight game to keep the record alive.

Scotch's last win at Broadview was on the 22nd July 1967, Scotch 13.6 (84) to Broadview's 4.7 (31) when we were both in A3.

The last two games against them at home looked like they were going to break that HooDoo.

Set's up a great local rivalry game against Gaza next week at home as both clubs renew the rivalry after several season.

The clubs will be playing for the Kate Ellis Cup, should be a great day looking forward to it.

Makes you wonder which other clubs haven't won at an oppositions ground for many years.

We used to play against Scotch most seasons until the early 90's, Last year our first game against them since 1993.

Scotch's goal kicking cost them dearly none more so than this miss from the top of the goal square with 20 seconds to go. Was a great comeback from them however after being around 7 goals down early in the third 1/4
