trial game results

[Pag]

How did you blokes go?

SMOSH did us by about 6. They move the ball very well and very quickly, will be even more impressive with a few to come back in who didn't play yesterday. We had about 8-9 out of our best 21 as well, playing in the 2s or not playing at all, so we were also pretty happy with how we went.

Our Bs got up too which was really encouraging.

Ovingham defeated Nth Pines yesterday by over 20 goals

[twogood4u]

Kilburn over Virginia by about 4 goals in the end. Chicks were up by 6 at 1/4 time, game was over. Got out to about 10 then they took the foot off the pedal. The 4 goal margin wasn't indicative of the actual game. Virginia were not very good at all.

Waz at the game and i'll put a diffrent slant on this, Virginia did start slow(friday night cricket pres) but played some good hard footy after 1/4 time and run the game out better than kilburn. kilburn need to do alot of work to justify the money they are spending pag! nothing to impressive there .

I'm amazed a club would give someone another chance to come in, spend big and maybe even have a little success with scant regard for the trail of destruction he creates through trying to satisfy his own insecurities as a coach. On that he's not even a very good coach at that, just a con-man. Occa that is.
Further to that, what sort of club is in a position to "rest" first choice players in trial games after an 07 season of thrashings and subsequent relegation, what a load on crap.

Mate I watched the game as well, and I'm calling it how I saw it. I went out to the Kilburn huddle at 3/4 time and O'Connor brought about 5 kids on who looked about 17 years old each. Wilson moved out of the middle. Peter Dempsey racked up stats without looking like he got out of second gear. O'Loughlin provided a target for Virginia, and has a beautiful kick for goal on him, but is not fit. I didn't think Kilburn were the fittest side ever to be honest with you, and are not unbeatable in Div 3 this year. But if that was good footy for Virginia, I'd expect another long year. Kilburn didn't give a crap once the margin hit ten goals.

I'd never seen O'Connor before last night, only had heard what had been said through this place. But I listened to Greg Phillips at 1/4 time, and then O'Connor at 3/4 time, and there was no comparison whatsoever. O'Connor seemed to speak really well, seemed very thorough in his zones, set-ups etc. I know it's only one break in a trial game but he seemed like he knew what he was on about.

I should qualify my own observations having played in sides against his coaching and general chat from players in his teams that I've retained as friends over the years. He does sound good, hence my con-man jibe, he does have good set ups and structures but the reality is that's been plagiarized from others but mostly Tony Roach. However he has absolutely no understanding of what to do when he has to change his pre match plans when or if an opposition team threatens to compromise his plan A which no matter how well prepared you are that threat is intangible and tests a coach to think on his feet and he just doesn't have that.
Put simply, he is an excellent recruiting manager but coaching is not his forte

Fair enough. Like I said, the three minutes I heard of him he sounded good, and Kilburn weren't exactly challenged or threatened so I can't comment on that part of it.

[footballfollower]

rotter welcome your comments
what i know is the facts, his coaching in barossa leauge
over 70% win ratio
last 2 years premiership coach
his coaching record previously at kilburn. made finals 4 years in a row in A1, that would = say around 60% +..........sounds like someone who can think on his feet to me
As the people at Kilburn have said their only way to get back to A1 is to get Occker back
Might i suggest we continue this discussion at the end of the year when the results will then decide.

well put rotter, what is the point of trials? the huge influx of new players would demand they get as much match time as possible. making excuses at this time of the season! the game was good hit out for both Virginia and kilburn (A's )

ever played for or against virginia pag?

[Pag]

Mate I'm not associated with Kilburn or Virginia. Never played in the APFL against Virginia either. Only watched a couple of APFL games in my life but they both were a lot better than what Virginia showed last night.

I understand that mate. How many did they have out then? Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against Virginia at all, I'm just making the comparison since the APFL is of an A3 standard...
