How the league will finish this season

That is the funniest thing i heard Joel. Bulls do not have a physical game anymore all these big fellas playing for them and yet they arent even 1/10th as physical as they use to be. From what i heard they talked it up in the change rooms before their game against the Beach about being physical & hitting the Beach Hard. Then ran out there and wouldnt even challenge at contests. 4 Bulls Blokes around the ball letting Beach players just go through as they please and pick it up They didint even look like they wanted it, Now is that physical?. Jo JO Dann had about 3 players tag him and i reckon he ended up with the most possessions he's had all year...He mustve got into the high 40's.

NOw by the looks of it Beach isnt really a physical side, they rely heavily on their skill, pace & Fitness. And for them to be more physical than the so called physical Bulls. That goes to show what levels their physicality are at. TOWNS will drub them by close to 100 points. Beach probably would have done the same if they kicked straight.

Bulls seem to have a huge intimidating side this year and talk it up a fair bit. But judging by how things are going this year thats all they seem to do is talk the talk and no walk the walk!

bulls physical. what a joke. i think most of the so called physicality from the bulls comes from their coach. got to listen to part of the bulls 3/4 time huddle on sat and can say the coach is a meathead. it got better. his speech when doing their awards at the bowling club was shameful from a supposed leader of their club. talked to some bulls players who confirmed that they get pretty embarrassed by his antics as well. other than that it was a pretty ordinary game i thought. towns first and last q were good with some ordinary footy in between. big test comes this week.

Hear hear Hawkers. Bulls coach is a serious Meaty by the sounds of it... Doesn't seem to be paying off the way the club would like however...

Beach & Towns this week! in what is almost certain to be the GF preview...Unless one of them faulters to the Saints who look to be the the most serious challenger with their premium midfiled of pigram, pigram, pigram, pigram & Till. They are all guns...Winner pencils in top spot for the year and is pretty much guaranteed the minor premiership. Beach have been doing pretty well lately considering they have only had enough blokes to field 21 for the last 2 games. And they look to have been without about 8 of their big guns... they look to be far from their best. Towns seem to be missing a few too who would have to be back for the big game you would think...It will be a ripper...

Who will stop Kal Tollo and Richter. A tough task. Then again who will stop Marshall and Joey Dann. After Dann's performances the last few weeks hes gotta be paying even money to take out the league B&F!

Both teams have their strengths and weaknesses so it will be an absolute rip snorter...Should be a sell out with standing room only!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok they weren't that hard on Saturday - but I think you need to give them a fair go as they copped lots of injuries. you forget they beat the saints that you are talking up

Saints probably had a heap out. beach didnt even have enough to field a full side when they played them. towns had a few out too. But Who cares who is injured its your depth that you then have to prove...

Sorry no fair go. Bulls will be lucky to make the finals this year...And If bombers play as good as they did against Beach, Bulls may see themselves get a 50 point or more hiding from them too...

Wasnt really talking Saints up just saying they have an awesome midfield and are the next best behind Beach & Towns which is just stating the obvious... and if they play BUlls again in a final they will smash them!

Going by other post and the games from the past 2 weeks from the Bulls I think they have shown total lack of respect to there opposition in Beach & Towns who are quality sides and who are the best two teams in the comp as we speak and were so last year, and to go on and say there a much physical team and think there going to be push overs is funny and has cost them with two big loses in a row, and that goes to show that tough talk in the change rooms or around town doesn’t count for nothing if you count back it up.

And would haft to agree with you there wc this week game between Towns & Beach should be a cracker got to get down there early to get a seat, you would also haft to keep an eye on Bidgy’s form I think there sneaking a bit under the radar at the moment and with the emotional win for Wayne Edgar’s 400th could set them up for a strong run home.

noticed kal tollo has been dominant earlier in the season how did he go against bulls?

cable beach should have won on saturday - that last quarter collapse was grey water! I think saints can beat them this sunday

I Agree they had that game wrapped up. Having a shot at goal to go 9 points up then an undiscipline act results in no shot on goal, 50m and direct shot on goal for towns with 4 mins to go. Game over!

Great game of footy though. Ripper. Towns well deserved winners but Beach have to be dissapointed with their last quarter. Who is the fella that played on kal tollo. He wore him like a glove. That was the least impact he'd had on a game all year...

Saints are a huge threat to either of the top 2 sides. their midfield is gathering momentum at the right time. I dont know who will stop Neil Marshall but. he kicked 8 goals against them last time and set up about 5.

It should be a reasonably close game. I'd still tip Beach by 3 or 4 goals but...

just a question go west coast. if you were 9 points up then towns kicked a goal through an undisciplined act, wouldnt you still be 3 points ahead? bit early for game over. you are right though with 10 minutes to go the beach did look like winning. i thought it was a pretty scrappy game really with plenty of turnovers. tollo was once again pretty well held although he did kick a goal late which either put us in front or gave us some space. by the way gwc i think we have discussed the undisciplined player in question earlier in the thread. wouldnt think the coach would have been happy with the effort to give away the penalty. but to react to the towns bench (who were giving him a bit on his way off) the way he did showed he either didnt understand what hed just done to his team, or he didnt care.

Need to read it clearly hawkers. the goal was to GO 9 points up. Beach Didnt get the shot (so they were 3 points up only) . Then towns scored out of this free in the centre and 50m. so they went 3 points up instead...Hope that explains what i wrote

And in regards to the undisciplined player that Cost beach the game. I heard his name get directly mentioned in a very sturdy team debrief afterwards. I would be suprised if he plays again for the season... And your probably right in that I dont know if he had it in his head to realise what he'd done...

I think if the Beach werent so many players down he wouldnt even be getting a game. but goes to show that you never turn blokes away as you might need them for a game once in a while. And it looks like that has been the case for Beach the last few weeks.

It was a shame on Saturday to see him majorly stuff up as he had shown a bit by doing reasonable jobs niggling some big name players out of their games of late...

You just hope these sorts of players dont lose you games by getting out niggled as such happened on saturday...Spose they call them loose cannons... theres a few in every team...

Where is Cable Beach? Where is Bidyadanga? Where are Bulls? And why are Towns cemented as minor premiers??? Your ladder predictions have left alot to be desired! Are you actually watching the games on the weekend or are you just fondling over results that you read in the paper??? Cable Beach.... One hit wonders! Towns.... always been in top four, every year! Bulls.... 'Blow in Bulls' not Broome Bulls! Bidyadanga....deserve to be in top four alot more than Blow in Bulls! Saints... surprise package!

Jailbird...Do you actually watch the footy on the weekends...if you did you would realise that everything on this forum is about whats been happening on the weekend so get your statements correct...

every comment bar the the opening one to start this forum has been on stuff at the footy. And of course a ladder prediction in the preseason is never going to be 100% correct. If people knew what the ladder was going to be then why come out and play each week... you try picking a top 4 before the season has even started. I would have thought you would have been pretty much exactly the same as whats is there now...

the way i see it after the last few weeks any one in the top 3 will give the flag a shake this year. Bulls are just struggling to hang onto 4th spot so provided they do they still wont do a thing in finals apart from being a confidence boost to the team that gets to play them. It would be better if Emus got into the final 4th spot cause atleast it would then mean all teams in the 4 would be competitive enough to take the flag out...

Big task but to Beat the Beach in the last home and away game. But a task the emus are definitely capable of if they get their pace going. Who was Cable Beach on the weekend??? that was a totally knew side. I didnt recognise anyone out there as regular players bar 2 or 3 of them. one of whom ended up sitting out the game from during the 2nd quarter in what looked to be a knee injury...They even looked to be playing some of their u/15s players too... Is something going on at the club? Have players left?

Towns and Saints will be the game to watch this week. Towns have been coasting along this year and doing it well. They must be ready to hit their full straps soon. They should win around the ground but i believe saints midfield will be far too classy and quick for that of Towns. Towns will have to be extremely accountable though as Saints midfielders ability to run forward unmanned & kick goals is what ripped Beach apart on the weekend...Should be a ripper...

And i reckon Bombers by 60 Points over Bulls

nice nice
in response to what u have just said west coast:
saints do have a great running game with them kncoking off
last years premiers i due feel they will have there tales up when playing the minor premiers.
Although who will man up on the likes of towns big men?????
there full forward?? there ruckman?? very mobile he is, the back up ruckman being 8 foot 8.
if they all go foward and the ball makes its way down there which i feel it will be alot whos to say there stopable?? Then the crumming players.. what can i say

THeres sumthing going on at cable beach?? what is it?? there loosing simple answer?? the player group hadn't lost last year..... as soon as they started lossing well they seemed to just throw it all away. but dont count them out iff brett cums bak sonny dann and niel combined there a lethal combination.

if bombers beat bulls and bidgi get over beach wouldnt be suprised to see a towns bidgi grandi?? great long shot!
