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: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
