Chris Ladhams to Broadview.
Ladhams and Boras inside forward 50 will kick some serious goals.
That's if the 2 don't get in each other space.

Just a thought but maybe Hamley could think about putting some time and money into a junior program instead of self destructing in 1-2 years. Who runs that show?


How are clubs suppose to put time and money trying to promote and build juniors if there aren't any?
Kids are too interested in playing ps3, smoking weed and fingering girls which means footy or sport in general gets put on the back burner.
I know that we promote juniors to play senior footy wherever possible but the talent pool is so shallow that some of the junior coming through just aren't up to senior standard.

Stribling already have one hand on the league medal?

Stribling must have had 50 touches on the weekend and would have got 3 votes IMO.
Dowdell, Duncan, Heberle, Zanandrea, Thach, TJ could all poll votes in the 3 wins.
It's only 4 games in and too early to be talking about league medal winners.
Great day Saturday for the 10 year premiership reunion and it was good to catch up with some past legends of the HBFC. There was certainly some sore heads Sunday though.

Stribling gave himself a new nickname Saturday night and was calling himself 'Nintendo 64' cos he was telling everyone he had 64 touches on Saturday.

Hey meal vouchers who in balaks side is gonna pummel drainer
He is safe as a house this game will have Andy and doug all over it!!

Pearson will pummel him with verbal insults. That bloke can talk some serious smack.
I don't think Balak have anyone who will target him behind the play or anything too dirty. If he gets hit, it'll be fair and in the play.

How did Thach get a game before Galbraith?

He can take my spot, I won't be playing in this rubbish tournament again.
The quicker the league accept that this format is s**t, the better off it'll be.
Players sacrifice their Saturday on a long weekend to play 2x40 minute games.
We play our first game, then do nothing but wait around and let our body seize up, then play our final game 2 hours later.
Spoke with an U23 player and he said he too enjoyed driving 2 hours to sit on a 5 man bench and play 25% game time (which in this tournament equates to playing 10 minutes per game and 20 minutes for the day).
Why don't the APFL do what most other leagues do and play a full 4 quarter game against another league?

If APFL play YPFL then have 2 games
17's followed by A grade.
Then North East can do the same against Nortern Areas somewhere else
And have 17's followed by A grade.
Then the 2 A grade winners of each game play off the following year

A couple of Virginia boys ventured out to watch Two Wells v Hamley on the weekend and had 'a couple' of froffies and ended up in both the Hamley Bridge and Two Wells change rooms straight after the game. Rumour has it Two Wells weren't overly impressed with the lads and kicked them out. Hamley on the other hand managed to sign them up for season 2015

Are the association finally doing this to recognise its players????

It's actually a feather in the cap for players who have worked their butt off each year.
Just about every other league would be doing this.
If they want players to be proud of playing for the comp, then give them a TOTY jumper or something as recognition and maybe they will feel loved by the league.

Like All Australian for AFL players, its not the be-all but its certainly something nice to reflect back on after you have finished.

Just something a little professional that the league could do to improve IMHO.

The amateur league present each player who is selected in the div 1/2 TOTY a framed picture of the team.
They get invited to the div 1 and div 2 medal count and get presented the framed pic on the night.
Ps Heberle shouldn't be in the TOTY cos he kicked over half his goals in 3 games against Hummocks
