Division C4 2013

The bottom line is, no we will not let it go, we will continue to use it to serve as motivation to better ourselves and drive us on the track.. it's called pride..

If it was a pride/motivational thing i would imagine it's something you keep in house, not go on and on about in a public forum and sound like sore losers.

What is your problem buddy. Do you have anything to do with C4, IF or MP.....NO. why are you constantly on here stirring the pot and having digs at IF. What, did we beat you in round 2 2003, week after touching up MP?????.....PG, lets get on with making IF a successful club, round 11 will take care of itself as will round 3,4,5,6,7. No need to stoop to others levels.

A lot of work has gone into changing the way that IFFC is perceived and I beleive that we have come a long way in the past 2 years. Just as i am lead to beleive that your club has done also. What makes it very dificult to move forward as a club, is when people continue to drag up the past and not give credit or a chance for the current group to show the improvements that have been made. Ok you have apoligised and yes it was a stuff up on your behalf, it should have never been made public, apology accepted, now lets move on.

Yep agreed and well said.

Have no affiliation with any club in c4, but the last time i checked this is a forum and i'm allowed to have an opinion, and my opinion is what i have stated in my previous posts... I have no hard feeling towards IF, have no reason too. My opinion isn't about your club, it's about the person thought process behind this conversation. I also have no ill feelings towards him, just don't agree with him, which doesn't mean i'm stirring a pot. And to answer your question about beating us, that has never happened...

All good, be a boring world and forum if everyone agreed with each other and didn't have their own opinions.

Can't believe we are talking about this, I thought the talk of the week would've been Tom Javor's 5 goals!!!

So anyone else become far more interested in what happened in Round 1 2003?

yeah a little

That was nothing, just a personal one for me. Should hear about the dog night!

Long and storied history between MPFC and IFFC. For a while there we were battling with who could be the most feral.

Fortunately both clubs have moved on. Sort of.

Tell me more of his exploits my friend as I fear this thread has got way too serious. I heard the poor bastard was triple teamed as well and had to start at half back to shake his tags.
Here's a key stat for you....When he kicks 5 or more PNU win sometimes

I was given a run down as I walked home from the club at 2am from the little guy with the smashed nose. However I consumed something that affected my memory that night.
So I shall choose to speculate that they were all Franklinesk from outside the 50 with 2-3 opponents hanging off the great man!

Geez you can talk some f**cking shit.. 10 played b grade today and 2 played A grade, None of your best players played and of the 26 goals you kicked last week, only 3 goals came from todays C grade lineup

And how'd the C grade go today? 79 point loss..

I hate dwelling on the past, but this has me so cranky, i dont think i'll let this go for a long time.. it'll sit and manifest in the pits of my stomach.. Round 10 cant come quick enough!!! [/quote]What the **** is this shit. I don't even know where to start.

I repeatedly said we fielded a very strong C Grade side with B graders and fringe A Graders. I repeatedly said it sucked for Ingle Farm and it was unlucky. Not sure what you want? Blood? Sacrificed virgin? Some sort of other penance?

What perhaps you might not be aware of is how many players we had to call up just to field a C Grade this week, mostly because of the fact the A Grade nicked a couple of B Graders, which mean our B Grade needed to nick C graders. That combined with a few C Graders stepping it up on the training track meant they got a game in the B's. We aren't 3 separate teams, we're one club, players move up and down according to form and necessity, not the whims of bitter rival clubs nor their emotional coaches.

Fact is, we could have fielded a much stronger side against you, but decided not to out of respect. None of our core B grade suited up and we rotated our better players all day. Next time, as I think we will have the bye in the B's again, I am going to encourage us to play a full B Grade squad against you with some A's who need a rest just to see you cry like a girl who scraped her knee - much like you are doing in this thread.

I understand you're a new coach, it's clear you have a lot to learn. The first lesson might perhaps be to focus on the controllables.[/quote][/quote]


Gee fellas, CBC won the premiership doing something similar last year. We beat them by over 100 points but by the time finals rolled around with their As and Bs out of contention they had this mysteriously untouchable group of new players that the top 2 couldn't get near. It's C Grade and its always going to have days like this where one team cops the pointy end of the f@ck stick. At least your situation has not cost anyone a premiership. Shit happens let's move on.

Hey PG, how do you feel about playing a composite A/B MPFC side Round 11 instead of our B/C?

To be the best, you've got to beat the best!... Bring it on

Don't think a player can be dropped 2 grades in one week, could be wrong. And i think your A's and B's will still have to submit team sheets....... So we will just have to play your B Grade that day. I think we will have SHOC and if their D Grade don't improve then maybe we drop our B Grade too, even the game up a bit. Anyway from Saturday's results, i'd say your C Grade need all the help[ it can get.

[morell]

I have no idea on the strict rules to be honest. Not my concern. I play where and when I am told.

Just thought it was funny that now instead of having just the B Grade bye, we now have both A's and B's with the bye when we play IIFC in the C's. There are always ways around these rules and regulations, as everyone involved at the coal face of the lower divisions would appreciate.

Is Jamie Battams back at PNU?

If so and he's playing C grade, engrave the cup now

You're tellin the story..

PNU already had it in the bag as last years grand finalist and with T. Javor running riot kicking goals, banging hoes, its a race for 3rd place - coz not even 2nd is close enough!

Easy tiger, The triple threat of Javor, Battams and Klomp create a 120 year old forward line. Last year PNU had a former league footballer who in Round 1 played in the Div 1 A Grade. It takes a team to win this marathon and its more likely to be the strength in our depth and the lessons learnt last year that may help the Falcons more than any one individual.
Having said that if a kick a bag today ill be on later with full details

Look forward to the reading the report!

Trinity d Ingle Farm, 2 goals in the last 2 min to TOS gave them a 6 goal win. 5 goals to 1 before that to start the 4th restored some respectability for the Farmers but struggled all day missing a few, and a couple of quick injuries hurt, had to plug holes all day and it was a fair warm day!

Kreig kicked 13 of TOS 17 goals tough to stop!

Overall good day, played in the right spirits, TOS a good outfit and a good test of where we are at and need to get to as we continue to find our feet.
