Local Footy Thread

Re: Local Footy Thread

STAND-IN skipper Tom May carried Gisborne into the Bendigo Football League preliminary final with an inspired final-quarter effort against Golden Square on Sunday.

The Dogs looked in trouble when Golden Square booted the opening goal of the last quarter to lead by 16 points at Queen Elizabeth Oval, but two majors from May, including the goal that put Gisborne in front, helped the Dogs to an 11.11 (77) to 10.13 (73) victory.

May stepped up in the absence of Gisborne captain Casey Summerfield, who is expected to return from injury for this weekend’s clash with Sandhurst.

The match was an arm-wrestle, with Gisborne fighting back from a 13-point quarter-time deficit to lead by three points at half time.

Golden Square rallied again in the third quarter and looked to have the match in its keeping before May’s heroics sparked a Gisborne revival.

Pat McKenna continued his outstanding form in front of goal for the Dogs with four majors. Gisborne president Colin Rodgers said it would take the Dogs’ best to progress to face Strathfieldsaye in this year’s season decider.

The club has teams competing in the seniors, reserves and under-18 preliminary finals

Good to see Golden Square fall short for a change

I had a guy working for me back in 2012. Very flat on the Monday post GF.. Complaining about the result.. I said "Mate, you know I'm a Footscray supporter. I'd love to lose a grand final!... Chin up, back to work!"

For woofers involved in local footy are your sides in the finals as well?

Re: Local Footy Thread

Now that the real footy is finished for the year, I'll be off to Bayswater this week to catch up with a couple of mates, sample some of CUB's finest products and watch Norwood take on Balwyn for the EFL 1st Division Premiership. Norwood aiming for back to back flags. Usually a good crowd at the EFL GF. Consistently around 10k in attendance.

10 000 is a decent turnout.

I'm still struggling, at this rate I might come good by Friday, just in time for our presentation night.

Probably down on numbers this year. Absolute silence whenever Balwyn kicked a goal, whic is surprising considering their Ressies were also playing. Such a disappointing game. Norwood didn't kick their first goal until halfway through the 3rd qtr. Totally inept performance. Beer was good though.

That's nothing. Our opponents on Saturday kicked 1.17! They didn't manage their one and only goal until halfway through the last quarter.

Re: Local Footy Thread

Deer park v Werribee , what a disgrace Deer park won by 136 points the Wrfl is a joke , deer park just buys premierships, won the last three through buying ex AfL players and now they just got Fevola for most games next year.
Other clubs are actually giving up and just playing their juniors because they can't compete.
Deer Park has been heard to say they want 5 in a row because no other club has done it.
