Saints play the eagles

Koroit are into their 8 straight GF. Lost the first, then won the next 6.  That’s the definition of a powerhouse club.   Support in koroit is total.

eagles have Dion Johnston who played for the Casey demons a little bit. Other sides have beaten koroit this year but they are still in the granny.   So not as dominant,  should be interesting

    Where are you based 640? I grew up in Mortlake, then lived in Warrnambool in the early to mid 90’s playing all my junior footy at South Warrnambool. Go the Roosters!

    Tower Hill is an amazing part of the world.

    Koroit has always been able to field a footy team that’s much stronger than it should. The farm land around there has produced a lot of great players.

    Off Topic, Sean Campbell won the B@F for second year in row for Parkside and is good chance to take the comps. B@F.

    Not in todays side.  I do not follow this league apart from finals and there will be a very inebriated group only 5 minutes away. I hope they stay there .

    Suburban Melbourne premiers today (all games played in atrocious conditions)

    Heidelberg def Bundoora NFNL

    Noble Park def Rowville EFNL

    Strathmore def Aberfeldie EDFL

    Cranbourne def Cheltenham SFNL

    Altona def Werribee Dist. WRFL

    Heidelberg & Noble Park have won a lot of flags.  Not sure on the Essendon & Western leagues but Cranbourne haven't always been in the Southern league

    Terang was the big smoke growing up. I remember we had to go to Terang from Mortlake to see a Vet - when my mum ran over our dog (by accident).

    Is the Hampden league struggling these days? It used to be incredibly strong.

    I thought Bundoora got up Macca? 

    Edit: was looking at the reserves scores

    I was sent some photos of the VAFA Premier B, GF between Uni Blacks & Old Haileybury (2.5 to 2.9) and the ground was completely covered in water with not a blade of grass to be seen! Elsternwick Park I believe

    I would think it’s strong always plenty of support at the games and in the local rag. 
    alwsyx seems to be some young fellow or girl trying out for some better comp.

    I didn’t know Koroit was such a successful club..I have ancestors who owned Coghlan’s Southern Cross Hotel just out of town in the 19th century.And Michal Coghlan was also the Mayor for a while.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
