Next season: UPDATED

Hi all
Below is a notification from the IAFA on next year's competitions. Over the next few weeks I want to hear your views on next season. In the first instance I'm asking anyone certain they don't want to play next season to email me directly at tonyharper@bigpond.com
My feeling is that the O40s will not be less cometitive than )35 div 2. I would expect some very strong teams to prioritse that competition.
I'm happy to take questions on Saturday between the games at Coledale. Meanwhile, we'll put on a BBQ and sell drinks again on Saturday so please help out and support this. If it's a nice day it could be a good one for the families again.
Cheers
TH10

UPDATE: I have spoken to two committee members who suggest several M1 teams are applying to be in O40s. They are saying that they expect o40s and o35s div one to be similar standard. A o35s M2 will be formed as well if enough teams enter.

Masters Comp 2011
After receiving and evaluating all the expressions of interest for an over 45’s comp it was decided that there wouldn’t be enough teams to fill a division.There was however enough interest for an over 40’s division.The over 40’s division will run for 2 years and will then become an over 45’s division in 2013.Depending on the amount of nominations there will also be 1 or 2 divisions of over 35’s.
3. Nominations for 2011
Nominations for 2011’s comp will open on Monday the 23rd of August and close on the 1st of November.You can still nominate after this date but you will go to the waiting list for are any vacancies.

Easy Come, Easy Go.....

The Whites played 90 minutes of good football over the doubleheader weekend, the second half against Azzuri and the first half yesterday against Bally. The 4-1 win on saturday had us brimming with confidence for our match against the second placed Crows.
Goals from Eco-warrior, who finally scored from a long range speccy after trying all year and Sick Note with a fine "backer" from a metre out gave the Whites a 2-0 lead at half time. Phil and AB then kept up the race for the golden boot with one each to give us a 4-0 lead, with Azzuri getting a consolation with a fine 25 metre free kick going over the ungloved hand of Dennis.
Azzuri didnt have their hearts in it after halftime, with 2 blokes leaving and another limping off with a hamstring injury. Im suprised any of them showed up for yesterdays match against the Maroons.
We started like a house on fire against Bally. Would the result have been different if my shot in the 10th minute gone in rather than hitting the post? Who knows. We had the better of the first half, the midfield playing out of their skins, tackling anything that moved. Then in the 44th minute, Mr NSL pulls out his party trick of blasting the ball into the back of an opposition player in the box and screaming his head off for a penalty. Mr "I'm easily influenced" Referee duly obliges and its 1-0 at halftime, although Dennis nearly saved the penalty.
Thats it, no comment on the second half.
Our last match of the season next week, at home to Fenhill 1pm. Talk yesterday of cheering on the maroons (with maybe a quiet beer or two) then beers, banter and a bit of tucker at the S/W Bowlo should make our final game quite enjoyable.

Maroons 1, IFS 1

Dear Pete
Get Well Soon,
Regards TH10

Someone else might be better placed to write this report. My eyesight isn't what it used to be and I swear I saw Ant rise six feet off the ground and smash a bicycle kick just wide in the second half.

I'm sure I saw an IFS player wearing number seven try to take Gary's leg off at the thigh but escape without a card. I'm sure I got one a few weeks back for saying a rude word. Crazy game.

I didn't enjoy waching a miss hit loop over my head and under the bar. Caught out of position - that would never have happened to Pete. Now I understand why he spends 90 minutes rooted to his goal line.

I have no idea how we scored. It looked to me as if their keeper set the ball in the air liked a volleyball player and then spiked it forcefully into his own net. Rory claimed it. But then he claimed I should have run out and grabbed every ball anywhere near the 18 yard box. Every time I tried this it ended with IFS lobbing just wide of the net. He also claimed every goal kick should have gone to him. Likes a chat that Rory!

I'm not sure I flapped that much. Maybe once. And it can't have been as funny as Paul E telling IFS 7 that he was the most hated man in the league. "Mate, everyone hates you!". Hilarious.

Anything to add?

Whites 1 Figgy 1

Some things you are assured of at every match of the Whites 2010 season.

• Not many goals will be scored.
• Sicknote Seddon will be the last to sign the teamsheet.
• Dennis will pull off at least 3 miraculous saves.
• If any player is cautioned, odds on its Dougie.
• Eco-warrior will mix the sublime with the unfathomable.
• Andres will perform minimum 5 "dummy kicks".
• Lost Keys O'Neil if starting up front will end up in the backs.
• Goalie Glenn will hobble off halfway through the first half with a calf injury.
• Laid Back Phil Lally will be close to man of the match.
• AB will blow at least one golden opportunity to score with only the goalie to beat.
• Keith spends the whole afternoon with a grin from ear to ear, enjoying himself no end.

All these happened on saturday. Plus:

• Slugger may have become the first player in Whites history to become an attacking fullback. Others said he was just out of position. Jury still out.
• Mr 21 scored the first legitimate Whites goal with the head. It looked like the ball actually went where it was supposed to.
• Handball celebrated his 44th (not 54th as I thought) birthday with another inelligible display in central defence and 8 tooheys new.
• Rocket Rod confirmed he will be back again next year, fitter and meaner than ever. Once a White, always a White.

Oh yeah the score was 1 all.

Double Trouble

Winter rain and double headers: God's way of telling you you're getting too old for football.

This just in from the IAFA.

Hi All
1. After much discussion it was decided that Rd 19 will be played on Sunday 15th August.We thought about the spare weekend at end of comp but if we get another washout we will would have trouble getting games played.If any clubs want to organize games before this(midweek or this Sunday) they can as long as both teams agree and they let me know so i can organize a referee. Could all HOME teams make sure there grounds are available on Sun 15th.

2. In the last 2-3 weeks there have been reports of teams playing unregistered players which are now under investigation.Any teams caught doing this will lose points and could have further punishment dished out to them(fines and/or expulsion from comp).

I'm checking the avilability of the ground.
