Another week gone by in C2.

Carlisle pushed to the very end by Mosman Park (a week after Mosman Park beat Canning Vale) - would love to hear the adventures of Mosman Park's umpire again - I also have a great story after last weeks game about him...

Bassendean easily beat Coolbinia WP, perhaps by not as much as we all would have thought??

Thornlie account for SNESA, again, the margin by not as much as I would have thought??

My boys dismiss Swan Valley - seems the Valley have dropped blokes to the 2's.. that was clearly the worst League side we have played against all year.

And finally, a rejuvenated Noranda get another win on the board over the struggling Swans from Warnbro, keeping their very SLIM finals chances alive...


Story about Mosman Park's umpire - apparently after last weeks game in the umpires rooms, our Umpire decided to let the fellow know how much of a wonderful job he had done on the day. Clearly the Mosman Park umpire didn't appreciate the comments and he officially reported our umpire....! hahaha
Luckily, the League seem to have some level of sense, and they quickly threw out the report and also overturned a Red Card that one of our players unfairly got during the game..


Canning Vale vs Swan Valley (Ladies Day)

Colts;
Close game for three quarters as the Valley boys put up a good fight. A scrappy game really, I am always expecting seeing the kind of Colts footy that Bassendean and CV put on last season, and I don't think I will... Either way, the Cougar Cubs were able to put some good footy together in the last term when the game was on the line, and managed to win by 5-goals.

Reserves;
This old man was allowed to be dropped back to the twos to play with his mates for the first time in 2-months and he thoroughly enjoyed himself.... apart from the result. It seems Valley have zero intention to try and stay in C2 next season as they had a few handy players running around in the two's that could have dearly helped the League side. Thing is, it worked and they ran all over us, particularly in the midfield! Will be a force come Reserves Finals if they can scrape into the 5.

League;
Score speaks for itself, absolute blow out after the first term when the Valley had the advantage of the strong wind at the Den. The Cougars banged on 22-Goals to 1-Goal after quarter time. They put on a show in front of their Ladies.

Our lovely Pink Jumpers were auctioned off afterwards and we managed to raise a cool $10,000 for the Breast Cancer Network Australia...!

For me though, the highlight of the day was seeing Damo back down at the club! Damo is walking again which is fantastic for him and looks like he will make close to a full recovery! Quite a funny story is that he was walking with one of our members out at Shenton Park rehab and I believe he only had one thong on, and only realized when he looked down that he hadn't put the second thong on - he couldn't feel it!! hahaha
Unbelievable to see the big man smile whilst we presented him his $50,000 cheque that the CVSFC and the WAAFL community worked so hard to raise - all to help a fallen brother out!

Life is good, gentlemen!

Nice write up LAG, good to hear about damo and the support for the Ladies Day, good to be involved.

Surely something must be done about mossie parks umpire as he has also thrown down some cards in the games against us.

Contrary to what you have written LAG, the valley have only one league player (the ruckman) down to the ressies and had another 3 players double up due from other grades to some injuries and other commitments, the league team has been undermanned the last two games.
We simply had a shocker on the day which is a shame for such a proud club. hopefully can rebound in the coming weeks.

All credit to Canning vale though, very good on the spread and rebound.

Watched Mosman Park v Carlisle game, close game all day with Carlisle getting the choccies in the end. Umpiring wasn't to bad. Interesting to see how all teams go in finals with WAAFL umpires in charge.

Interesting to hear, Mighty V.

The ruckman, number 10 in the guts (Bakes - I know he is old, but should be in the ones), Number 7 down back who played on me, put on a better tag than most of the guys in the League I have played on this season, both bald fellas, big fella up forward...

IMO - All these guys would be in your best 22 after watching the top side play..?!

Thanks for that great Mosman park story LAG
Perhaps I could recite my Canningvale story from last week for everyone to compare...

For starters, the so-well-known Mosman park umpire doesn't in fact hail from Mosman park football club and has no affiliation with the club what so ever, but to umpire.
As for your little story, it is to my knowledge that your umpire got quite confrontational to the point that the Mosman park umpire requested officials because things were tempting to boil over and become physical. If thats not a fair reason to report an umpire then I don't know what is.

As for this weeks game against Carlisle.
Great game. Had all the ups and downs of a great football match and was a hard fight till the end.
We were lucky enough to have 3 umpires this week, and if it were up to me id love to have that every week just to prove that it doesn't matter.
As everyone knows, Carlisle got up by 3 points, but Mossies put in a good effort kicking the last 2 on the trot and coming home strong.
Now theres one thing to be a sore loser, but a sore winner....
The Carlisle coach immediately after the game, instead of congratulating his players on a hard earned victory, turns to the Mossie supporters and says they are disgraceful and adds a couple of disrespectful slurs. and points out one of our lady supporters and speaks his mind. Not to mention it was a Carlisle home game, and i'd say their supporters were giving as much as ours.
Its a C2 amateur footy match, think someone should remind the Carlisle coach.
Good game, and a deserving win for the top of the ladder team Carlisle.

Anyways this is my first and last post!
Goodluck to everyone in finals!
Footysmarts out!

Carlisle won the game ( a very good game ) I might add. You may have your wires crossed possibly. Anyway should be a fantastic Finals Series in C2, can't wait to go down and watch in another month or so.

This made me giggle!

Have you seen our umpire?

Mate - the ruckman doubled up, Bakes is coming off a hammy and he is old! The other two are both over 40! The Club is doing it tough but we are getting games into our young blokes which has hurt our colts but we try and put our best 22 on the park in the league every week. Unfortunately due to injury and unavailability we have struggled for consistency. Usually 5 changes every week!!

Where were you, Dingo?? I missed you at the bar! haha

He was busy chasing my shit kicks around in the thirds. Told him to lead after I kick but he didn't listen!
