You might be surprised. it is generally considered a good thing. For instance, a young fellow at work plays for the Queanbeyan Tigers. He is pretty confident that they can win (I certainly think that are not without a chance). But he is busting a gut toplay against Grundy, Vogels, Barlow, Moore et al. Knowing that you can have a go and test yourself against guys that have played AFL - or in the case of the genuine reserves have been identified as potential AFL footballers - is a huge buzz for a lot of the guys here.

Another personal accolade for Moorey.To actually play in the AFL is what he would prefer.I hope the kid ends up in Victoria where he will be given a fair chance.

A three-peat!

Don't you mean "hat-trick".

[ROK Lobster]

And with any luck a Swans premiership!

A three-peat!

Reading the leading players in the Canberra Award, I really think it is important that Paul Roos and the match committee next year promote more younger players to the senior level than the numbers promoted in recent past years.

The club must at least start in 2008 to rebuild, and not depend completely on the 2003-2007 template. A good model to look at is the Premiers from the year before us, Port Adelaide, and to a lesser extent Brisbane.

He should of been in the 1's for at least half of last season, and most, if not all, of this season. Then we would of, most likely, had a skillful inside midfielder about to hit his straps....Instead, it seems, we'll be dishing up more of the same next season, from the same unskilled, tired ,old midfield.

Onya JM - the tag is not in vain!
And well done Ryan.

And with any luck a Swans premiership!

While the inclusion of the Swans has lop-sided the comp it probably has raised the standard of 2 or 3 of the teams and the football generally. A combined ACT/Sydney and maybe Wollongong/Newcastle league would be a fantastic thing - possibly played in divisions or structured in some way to minimise travel and costs. I am looking forward to this week end's GF. Best bit will be that there will be less than 500 there, it will cost $7 to get in and nothing to park, the sun will be warm(ish) the beer will be cold and chances are the pies will be Villies!

After reading all that, I started to feel envious, then I remembered that whole Canberra thing.

Enjoy the day ROK

Seriously though, Sydney's participation in the ACTAFL must be ruining that comp. They will be glad when Sydney pulls out to play its reserves in the VFL.

It's no different to playing for Richmond

LOL. Seriously though, Sydney's participation in the ACTAFL must be ruining that comp. They will be glad when Sydney pulls out to play its reserves in the VFL.
Meanwhile, Moore's future in the ACTAFL is assured, poor thing.

[Sanecow]

Mitch Daniher must play alright?! What's his story?

[hammo]

It must suck for the other teams in the Canberra league. Every year they know that they're absolutely no chance of winning a premiership and the players know that they have no chance of winning the Mulrooney.
