I think this is just something we are going to just have to put up with. Our Ref vs RAAF was giving free kicks for appealing for throw ins lol. Not swearing or anything over zealous, literally just for appealing.Quote:

Dudley v edgie
Res 2-0, very even game, tough hit out.
1st 2-3, dudley not quite clicked as a unit yet but it is close and then the form of last year will come.
Friday night football. I think the first of a handful of friday night games was a big success. I know Edgeworth have a few more friday night home games and Dudley have a couple.Quote:

Good win to Dudley reserves, Edgeworth reserves are probably the team to beat.
Good win by Edgeworth firsts, even game but Edgeworth took their chances so they deserve the points.
Bolwarra v Mayfield
6-1 to bolwarra in both grades
Azzuri beat Kahibah 4-3 and I heard it was a great back and forth game.
Argy beat RAAF 11-4??? Seems like they're a team that just enjoys scoring goals.
Most people do especially off the field broQuote:

With Argy (also known as Russians) winning 3-2 at this stage thought they would bring out the nuclea weapons and unleashed on the raff team scoring 8 goals witch ended the game with raff waving the white flag to surrender at the full time whistle.Quote:

Argy definitely beatable. We (Abermain) went down 3-1, including 2 penalties. All scored by their striker. Everything went through him. Shut him down (not easy) and they have not much elseQuote:

And no I have nothing to do with the higher level. Just an open question
I know who they are talking about and he is a very quality player. He has played a higher level in the past but he wouldnt have the "condition" (polite way to put it?) to play there now, also probably just not interested. Not sure how old he is sorry.Quote:

Thanks for the response. Good stuffQuote:

Reserve grade-
New recruit Michael chiwara scored an incredible hat-trick, Aaron cook bagged himself a brace while jack Bennett took charge of a penalty to make it 6-1. Players player Michael chiwara
First grade- With the team being struck with injuries in the previous week it was a big ask for the boys to get the win. Daniel stoneman opened the scoring and continued on to make his hat-trick. While Riley Innes got himself a double with a cheeky chip over the goalkeeper in the first half and a perfect free kick in the second half, Josh Murphy's class shined above as he scored the sixth goal of the day. Players player Daniel stoneman
Despite the overwhelming amount of praise for this lad, I think if it were just a 1-man team they would have been stopped by now. When I saw them play they had control all over the field and the 'bloke up front''s finishing ability is just an added bonus for them. The tall young fella in the middle of the park (#10 I think) does a hell of a lot of work for them in there. I'm not a huge fan of talking tactics and strategies on here, but if I was a coach of the opposing team, I'd be telling my team that he's the real danger.Quote:

Enjoying this banter between teams but. LOL.
When i was referring to the two in the middle of the park he was one i was refering to.Quote:

LOL you are very correct! I meant however that the goal scoring machine up front isn't everything for them and an opposing team probably shouldn't place all their eggs in one basket trying to shut down only him. But yes, they should still be very weary of him HA. Should be a fantastic game at Argy this week against Azzuri. Will probably make it out to watch that one.Quote:

LOL, interesting recap of the game... I went out to Argy and caught the first grade game. Definitely was a back and forth game and I have no doubt these two will be up there towards the end of the season. Think it may be the first game that the #7 up front didn't have a blinder, and still Argy were dominant. Azzuri we're going good in patches, including scoring the first goal, but being good in patches against Argy obviously isn't enough. Not trying to put down Azzuri at all, they're a strong team, but Argy are definitely the strongest side.
#10 in the middle, as I said, was the danger. Although he doesn't get up and score much, he controls the middle of the park and dictates the pace of the game. #13, long haired bloke in the middle, is also a solid player. Any team that desires to beat Argy is going to have to win it in the middle of the park.
Fantastic game to watch but. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Cudos to both teams.
Dudley v bolwara
Res 1-3. Pen each, bolwara dominated, prob 70-30 posession. Good side, deserved the win but we can compete. Bolwara keeper sent late in 2nd half when up 3-0, silly move from him.
1st 1-2. Pretty even game and to be fair we probably were slightly better team. Plenty borderline challenges and once their 10 copped a card after his fifteenth crude challenge he settled down. They do like to play the man not the ball. big side who try to intimidate. The 10 loves the banter, shame he cant shoot or stay onside.
Bolwara are a strong squad and cudos to them, they compete well and have guys in res who would be in firsts elsewhere.
FYI, we are a licenced club, please support the canteen. No biggie just putting it out there. If everyone could post licenced or not it would help all clubs and stop byo.
Hats off to the new teams for their starts to the season this year. All appear finals bound. Argenton head that list, surely favourites for minors and promotion.
Seen Bolwarra yesterday, very solid across both grades. Must be favourites in reserves. They did have one or two that like the big hit more so then effectively completing the tackle.
Their has been plenty of talk about referees again across all grades this year. Why dont they like giving out red cards?, surely its not the paperwork. There should have been 3 more given out yesterday across both games.
Top of the list was the bolwarra's defender tackle in firsts. Studs up across the ball, could have easily broken a leg. People have to work.
10-15 minutes into the game, would have changed the game.
Bolwarra walk away with 3 points in both grades.Quote:

To breath some life into this thread...
Predictions for the weekends across both grades, anyone?
Kahibah v Argy - Argy too good
RAAF v Duderz - Draw
Azzurri v Mayfield - Azzurri just
Bolwarra v Abermain - Abermain
