Who do we all like at this point? My money would still be on Riverside, but Epping have hit a rich vein of form in recent weeks.

Safer bet to back any of the other 3 top teams than Epping. Proven finals performers in all the other sides except theirs. Will feel that way until proven otherwise.

I predict a Macleod V Diamond Creek GF
 
Random thought today. Would the comp ever bring back comp games. And what would our Dvca team look like. Here’s mine:
Chrimes
Gilbert
T.Wise
Whitcher
Lynch
Henkel
J.Thompson
Emmins (+)
Salm
Renwick
Fotinopoulos

Really like the concept, the main issue being when to actually schedule the games. Sunday’s prior to Christmas perhaps the only viable option?
My XI:
1. Nathan Chrimes (Riverside)
2. Daniel Gilbert (Diamond Creek)
3. Nick Lynch (Macleod)
4. Tom McLean (Diamond Creek)
5. Josh Henkel (Epping)
6. Justin Whitcher (Heidelberg)

Would be very on brand to be fair. Banyule for a number of years have had this bizarre obsession of stacking their lower grade sides to win flags. Hard to fathom really.

Lol

You blokes don't have any shame in just making things up to entertain yourselves, do you?

On a quick check, their 1s, 2s and 3s have all played finals for the past 4 years. So how is it possible to stack lower sides when higher sides are playing finals?

What about the time a certain father took the place of his own teenage son in a lower grade final? Lol

Noticed that Hall and Hannan played in their 2’s and didn’t bowl. Why would that be?? Stacking?? Don’t think so.

So just to be clear, you’re claiming ‘‘for a number of years they’ve had this obsession with stacking their lower grade sides to win flags”… and you’ve based this on them making a change in a lower grade final this one time?

Again, how can you simultaneously have your top grades in finals and stack lower grades?

Wouldn't put anything past that mob. Ones not going down or a chance for finals, twos locked in,

So playing Hannan, Poyser and Hall in the 2’s while there was a chance of being demoted from Barclay, just to win a 2’s flag, makes sense.

ps

and stacking their 2’s did wonders for them yesterday. They lost.

Care to comment on the exit of one Joel Crook? Seems like that aged well.

What about Murray, you boys lost a young good honest player in Spencer Veal, because of his arrogance and pure ignorance towards anyone in the lower grades.

Then the icing on the cake. Coach Pybus, what a master stroke that turned out to be.

Don’t let a few blokes on here distract you from the fact that your club has some type of elitist culture that will never stack up on or off the field.

No
What about Murray?
Veal went to play with his best friend D Mills.
Pybus goes ok imo.
Given the players who have retired or playing at higher level over the last 12 months. We’re not perfect but we’re ok.

Higher level???? 😂😂😂😂
You wouldn’t happen to be speaking about the international superstar in Henry Tyler…
Who was last seen fine tuning his 3rd change mediums and batting at 8 in Northcotes 4th XI
