[AusD]

haha man i wish i was still under 15 but the s.a team i reckon is never going to be as strong as the last two years, owel thunder gues your going to have to find someone else to fight over the finals with :) :)

[thunder_15]

well we will see if thats gonna be braves after sunday

[AusD]

hahah im tring to make a lacrosse sig but i cant find any good lacrosse piks to use, anyway um the s.a team is like paying 1200-1500 just to get to perth u know

[Aussie_kid]

i dont believe you, if they are they are getting ripped off bad

[Aussie_kid]

Go Southern Crosse.

[wa_thunder]

Hahahahah

We drew to the Braves :@:@ damn

Oh well its better than a loss ey

we should get alot better before the tornament...I hope

[Aussie_kid]

English please,









go vic rep teams

[thunder_15]

what he means to say is thunder drew with braves in that scratch match. thunder seemed to be doing good at the start then started drifting off a bit

[chiefs_lacrosse]

Eastside Kings have a fairly good outfit this yr although only one player from last years team. Only a couple of 1st year players so should be good. Playing Southern Cross this weekend so all those guys from MCC that Camberwell beat on the weekend, "You're going down!!"

[endoftheline]

southern crosse gunna kill you.
should be a good match as its essentially 3&6 verse 4&5

[chiefs_lacrosse]

eastside kings beat southern cross 9 - 4 this morning
was goal for goal during the first half until we got our act into gear and had a five to one goal quarter(3rd)
a tip for other teams - get the sth cross defence annoyed and they will argue and lose a lot of interest in the game

[endoftheline]

i dont reckon that game counts for much as anyone could see we werent at our best and we were missing 4-5 of our players. Overall it was a pretty poor standard of game for rep level with so many dropped passes and other common errors

[haRy]

yeh for sure it was such a bad game

[chiefs_lacrosse]

i agree, our coach was yelling at us and saying 'thats not how you normally train.'
its a shame we dont play in the same pool at the tournament so we could beat you properly :D

[endoftheline]

hw do you no the pools Im pretty sure we'll be in the same pool because if you finished 3rd??? last year. From what ive heard it will be Pool A-Northern Thunder, Eastiside Kings, Western Metro, Southern Crosse,Eastern Eagles??? and LA Panthers. and Pool B will be Western Reds,Southern Braves, West coast Lightning, Northern Warriors, Queensland, LA Tigers.
This of couse depends if Nsw enter a team or if Queensland enters .

[chiefs_lacrosse]

i have a fixture which says:
GREEN DIVISION
1. Northern Thunder (WA)
2. Western Metro (Vic)
3. Eastern Eagles (SA)
4. Southern Crosse (Vic)
5. West Coast Lightning (WA)

GOLD DIVISION
1. Western Reds (SA)
2. Southern Braves (WA)
3. Northern Warriors (Vic)
4. Eastside Kings (Vic)
5. ALC Panthers

It may be wrong, but i doubt it is. Anyone who wants the entire fixture, pm me with your email or hotmail address.

[pumba]

Hey guys im captain lol pritty happy with it lol. Cant wait its gonna be so sick!

[thunder_15]

too bad pumba u aint in the same pool as thunder. i wanted to get ppl to take u out lol

[endoftheline]

yeh i had it pretty much right.... i heard there was a NSW team as the alternatives from southern crosse were told they'd play with NSW.
Where did you get the fixture anyhows????

[pumba]

too bad pumba u aint in the same pool as thunder. i wanted to get ppl to take u out lol

Dam i wanted 2 nail someone into your bench and tak you out :angry: :angry: lol nar onli joking lol

But we may play you in fianls or something who knows!

[endoftheline]

are the grounds in perth astroturf/aritficial turf or grass. The tournaments being played at Dianella footbal club

[chiefs_lacrosse]

yeh i had it pretty much right.... i heard there was a NSW team as the alternatives from southern crosse were told they'd play with NSW.
Where did you get the fixture anyhows????

my coach sent it to me. they play a game BEFORE the opening ceremony so its a bit weird. its also a shame that everyone has a bye, but o well.

[thunder_15]

are the grounds in perth astroturf/aritficial turf or grass. The tournaments being played at Dianella footbal club
its on grass. the chicks play there. there sorta wierd they only play on 1 ground which is why its a dianella

[haRy]

is it a good ground?

[oompa]

The grounds pretty good. Because it's the oval the women use it's not as torn up as most of the mens ovals are at this time of year

[chiefs_lacrosse]

anyone here play last year?? whats the tournament dinner like. for $20 it must be pretty decent...

[aussielax]

anyone here play last year?? whats the tournament dinner like. for $20 it must be pretty decent...

Yeah i played last year, and tourney dinner was alright, it was petty sh!t in 02 when the tourney was in perth, so i don't know what it will be like this time round.

[thunder_15]

yeah it was ausome last yr how everyone started dancin and sheet. but our gay coaches wanted to leave cause they wanted to go get pissed so we had to leave eirly

[endoftheline]

the dinner was good but not worth 20 bucks the dj looked like an 70 year old john travolta. The food was also mega crap so we just ate rolls.
Last year they played games before the opening ceremony and then you get changed into your polos.Its much better this way because all the parents are their and you get to stay and watch the other teams for the rest of the day. I missed most of last years opening ceremony whilst in willi hospital with a broken thumb.

my bad :grin:

[[ t i d g e ]]

Lol.
I'm No. 6 of the Eastern Eagles.
And yes, he is correct, we are paying $1300 for the Tournament. We're flying there, and then staying in a caravan park (lol).
Just less than two more weeks left. This'll be my first time interstate, or playing for the state at that. This is also my first year playing in lacrosse.
I'll have a black/red visor CPro helmet, and EVO pro stick.
I might even have "[ t i d g e ]" on the back of my helmet.

Lol then u wanted me 2 come to subway with you

[endoftheline]

nah we went to get a slab and ended up at subway funny

[thunder_15]

the only take-away play close to dianella is maccas by the way

[Aussie_kid]

nah we went to get a slab and ended up at subway funny

sure sure u did

[suga0108]

I am playing for west coast lightning


are there going to be lacrosse shops their do you know

[thunder_15]

i think eddy tumie (or howeva ya spell it) is comin ova. i wanna buy some stuff of him so i hope he does

[chiefs_lacrosse]

i wouldn't be surprised if he did. his store is awesome now he has moved into a better looking place. Some yank said that it was better than their lacrosse unlimited store in america. and anyway, theres a lot of business in selling lacrosse gear

[aussielax]

i wouldn't be surprised if he did. his store is awesome now he has moved into a better looking place. Some yank said that it was better than their lacrosse unlimited store in america. and anyway, theres a lot of business in selling lacrosse gear

Yeah he has a sweet store with a great range and all that bur his prices are a fair bit more than the stores in the US.

[Aussie_kid]

yer cause he has to make profit after shipping and etc.

[endoftheline]

yeh i don't blame him for marking up the prices because he has to make money. If your buying a lot of stuff your better of ordering from the U.S

[aussielax]

Yeah eddie has to cover all his costs of shipping and more importantley import tax so his prices are decent concidering, If you just want one thing you may aswell just go to Auslax but if you are planing on buying more that one thing or some of your mates want stuff to the ordering from the US is probably a better option.

[thunder_15]

yeah iv been in that store. its ausome. but too far away from where we were staying for thunder. man the vic train lines r confusing

[Aussie_kid]

not really preety basic, if you ask me.

[Aussie_kid]

some dude from WA post the scores each day yer?

[pumba]

lol i may be able to if i get on the net i shall do it!

[thunder_15]

[Jesse]

Ha... Yeah well... My mates Captain for Southern and ive been bagging him all day today....
Didnt want WA to win... Ah well...

[[ t i d g e ]]

Eh, it could've been better. Eagles sucked arse. We even lost to the Panthers!
I didn't enjoy playing the games; I was on the bench mostly because my coach doesn't trust me on the field. Makes me wonder why he picked me. I honestly think we could've done better, at least win a game, if I was on the field more and/or taken some face-offs. I'm good at posessions, checks, and shooting but I didn't get much of a chance to shoot though.
I had fun off the field, I got a new "friend".
Lol, we paid $1300 each player for the tournament, and we were staying in a 4* caravan park...where we had broken beds and bore water.
Anyone notice/see me? I had the [ t i d g e ] thingo on the back of my helmet. #6, Eagles. I was also the guy on the video who was at the Warrior stand.
My best moment would have to have been off the field, just hanging around with our girls team. We had heaps of fun with them.
Your most memorable moments?

-Tidge.

[chiefs_lacrosse]

most memorable moment was definantly the last game against the braves, we were something like 6-1 down at half time only to come storming home to beat them by 3 goals and finish 3rd overall......oh and i corked my thigh attempting a gary gait leap, lol

[Jesse]

Thats cause it was such a poor attempt at it. :P

Yeah that game was good... My best memory was when that kid punched me cause i was on top of him. Funny as...

[thunder_15]

Thats cause it was such a poor attempt at it. :P

Yeah that game was good... My best memory was when that kid punched me cause i was on top of him. Funny as...
bahahaha im guessin u played for kings. i was standing right infront of that. i was laughing my head off

[endoftheline]

The best game for me was when we (southern crosse) played western metro. Even though they beat us convincingly as we were stuffed from the thunder game there was a lot of rivalry as we were staying with western metro and were good friends with most of the guys.All the vic girls came to watch aswell. My personal highlight was when i came out of the cage and flattened dave (no 7) after doing the exact same thing the day before against thunder. I was given a 30 second foul for in the back but it was a pretty dodgy call.
Even though we finished 8th which is an absoloute disgrace i'm confident that if we were in the other division we'd be 3rd or 4th and even if we were in this division and didn't have to face thunder and metro (the two top teams) in two days we'd have a better chance of being in the top four.

[pumba]

My best game was when we beat southern cross it was such a good game i snagged three and it was funny becasue the defender Jay Jay No.7 wanted 2 brawl me all game and didnt have the balls to hit me! Oh the final score was 9-6 Warriors way!

Pumba

[Lax101]

Moved to its new home...

[thunder_15]

thankyou

[auslax_goalie]

haha man i wish i was still under 15 but the s.a team i reckon is never going to be as strong as the last two years, owel thunder gues your going to have to find someone else to fight over the finals with :) :)
hey dude u form the sa team we prolly played together its dyl the goalie get back to me :chuckle:

Pumba

arhh, that jay jay guy. what a funny lacrosse player. i reckon he thinks that he carries his team (MCC and Southern Cross) but he doesnt do that much. he's always getting angry too, so its good to beat him

[thunder_15]

hahaha that i guess was the guy that was going crazy during tha thunder game. and the metro guys were givin him crap on the site lines and he was yellin back at them. i found it pritty funny cause he was givin crap to berry (thunders big shooter) and berry was just givin it back to him with goals instead of verbal

[pumba]

^^^

LOL very funny Southern Cross dosnt get along at all we where shooting after they lost to i cant remember and they where all *****ing at each other they didnt stop *****ing the team dosnt get along!

[endoftheline]

jay jay is a good guy but he's hard to play with. He's a good defender and can check and body push great but he can't run and he's quite uphimself. Whatever i'd say to him when the opposition scored he'd think i was blaming him for the goal. The coaches should of probably done more to stop this and eventually they dragged him for half a game. Off field where mates but on field we don't get along. He wanted to be captain and he said that he always keeps his head up but in the first game when eagles scored a goal (we were 7-1 up) he started screaming out obscenities(sp).
The reason we all fought was because there 8 mcc guys and it was a close tryouts. A lot of guys didn't live up to expectations individually so that created *****ing and put downs. We also had a lot of players with short fuses *jay jay*

^^ berry scored 4 but he was lucky to get them, he is a good player though but he's so ****y.

[endoftheline]

A guy I know who played in the 2001 or 2002 tournement in queensland said the accomation in Queensland was sort of like a abandoned camp thing and it was like a prison. There was concrete floors, walls and roof and about 30 bunks in each room all jammed in tight. Oh well doesn't bother me i'll be 17's.

yeha i agree adelaides a hole. lol. yeha iv been to melbourne and adelaide and yeah adelaide does seem pritty scabby compared to WA and Vic

[endoftheline]

everyone in western australia and perth went to bed so early we were right in the city and we'd walk down to a busy street with night clubs and stuff and there'd be nothing there.even on Saturday there was hardly anyone. Maybe thats why there all so tall because there always sleeping.

[Jesse]

Melb is alright... Its to polluted... but its got some great stuff over here.
I dont like adelaide, ACT and NT....

where did u stay. and yeah everythings closed on sundays

[wolves_lax 11]

hey all. yeh just joined today. found throughout the tournament not many teams like thunder. why is this ???

[endoftheline]

because thunder and are arrogant a r s e holes and how it was explained to me the west australian zoning system is setup so thunder and braves get the best players and the keep the thunder team as the state team until under 19's which means they have a strong team but its a fake strength. In Victoria and South Australia the zones are purely geographical so the teams are far more even.The point of the under 15's tournament isn't necesarily to win but to give lots of players a taste of higher level lacrosse and to develop their skills and for future under 19 coaches or whatever to identify talented players early.
Also in Perth everything closed at 5 even safeway/woolworths.

[haRy]

http://www.lacrossevictoria.com.au/index.cgi?det=1&intArticleID=803&sID=8
lol western metro are playing northern thunder haha i love how everyone gets mixed up should be good fun though what shoes would you wear on the hockey field?

[wolves_lax 11]

ok in WA it is geographical. we have north and south of our major river, Northern Thunder (north) and Southern Braves (south) with the exception of subiaco who are with Braves. it just so happens that the 2 clubs that thunder pick from have been the best clubs in our U/15's WA lacrosse league in the last few years.

[wolves_lax 11]

i dont want to start an argument but yeh seems a bit unfair wen teams treat thunder like crap yet they do not no the players in the team. but yeh i oined up in the hope of maybe making sum lacrosse friends from different states.

like berry said we have 2 teams in thunder and the rest in braves. and thunder and braves have been pritty even (with the exception to the 2003 "super team"). i think thunder just ends up getting coached better. like for eg. 2004 braves beat us wen they played us and this yr it was a draw. so ya cant really say we r making thunder a state team

[endoftheline]

he means northern warriors.

you can't say thunder aren't arrogant last year after one of the thunder kids broke my thumb with a shot i was walking past some thunder guys and they started laughing at me and saying crap like "awww thats the idiot who broke his thumb"and they were like thats why were in the finals because you can't goalkeep. The way they act is they know there best and things should always be there way. Also if you look at the draw I don't think thunder or braves could of had a better draw.

[Jesse]

wtf. bahahaha everyone just wants to be thunder :laugh:

Cough cough... :laugh:
My mate rekons that Crosse will beat Us (Kings)....

they were both in differnt divisions. just like everyone state they were both split up

[Jesse]

I thought that the draws where both really fair.
That little Number 5 kid from Thunder annoyed me... I hit him like 5 times and he went of almost every time... And he still came back on....

hahaha little max. he aint bad for a little dude. pull a lot of good goals out of no where

[wolves_lax 11]

yeh max is a champ. he got wikd skills aswell and its soo hard to play d on him coz of his height. but the kid is a champ. yeh i went into the tournament thinking we (northern thunder) had a pretty good draw on paper, going on last years performances. but i soon found out that the draws were very even. i dont think neone could complain that the top four were not the best teams at the tourny.

[lightning_no.8]

yeah, he is pretty good, and a hard shooter for his size.

[endoftheline]

both thunder and braves had rest days before the final which is a huge advantage and southern crosse had to play thunder and then metro the two hardest teams. a lot of people thought southern crosse were going to finish second of the victorians behind western metro and we were always going to be competitive but having to face metro and thunder consecutvely didn't help. Not to take anything from either metro or thunder who both played much better then us and deserved to win.
i geuss what i'm trying to say about thunder is that because they know there good they take the competition very seriously and aren't friendly on field. off field most of the guys are probabaly alright but if someones an a r s e hole on the field then you'll be just as bad towards them. Plus the fact that Thunder always wins doesn't make them any more popular.

[lightning_no.8]

Hey... does anyone know no.6 from Southern Crosse? The long poler? Because he is a d i c k head!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[haRy]

nore hahaha

[wolves_lax 11]

LOL that guy is crazy. he tackled me in our game against them. like footy tackle. was quite hilarious

[Jesse]

a lot of people thought southern crosse were going to finish second of the victorians behind western metro

Whoever thought that is an idiot... Kings played Crosse in a practice match...
I will be really cut if we lose to them...

[lightning_no.8]

LOL that guy is crazy. he tackled me in our game against them. like footy tackle. was quite hilarious

he smashed little matty shields on the ankle in our first game against them... then in the finals when we played them he didnt go near him, almost as if he was scared of him.

[Jesse]

I tackled a kid in one of our games in Melb.... Funny as...
I lost my stick and he was goin towards the goal...
I got one minute for it... but he didnt get the goal...
Good times...

what so u cant say that vic hasnt done nething like that in the past. how about this yr wen thunder had to verse both vic teams in a row in under 17s? and i dont noe y u guy tink thunder were poos on the field. i didnt see nething wrong with how they played. except for that game where our dude punched that guy in the head. that was just funny

[Jesse]

except for that game where our dude punched that guy in the head. that was just funny
Lol. That guy was me.... He didnt even get fouled.... :angry:
But even i Laughed... God that was funny...

[endoftheline]

jesse the practice match doesn't count for anything. I still reckon southern crosse is more than capable of beating any team but we fought way to much and after not making the top 4 we sort of gave up.
Theres a picture of nouri (no 6) doing the worst hold on some guy on www.winningsportsphotos.com

[lightning_no.8]

someone tell him that he wont wanna play west coast lightning eva again

[endoftheline]

yeh we are very scared of a bunch of under 13's. Your probably the little wuss who picked a fight with nouri and then ran off crying. If you think your so tough and you want to fight some guy do it but its even worse when you pretend to be tough and back down.

[haRy]

yeh like he would be scared of you he isnt scared of sht olie check your pm's

[Jesse]

Crosse start off good.... But they cant hold it.... The whole team just falls apart.

Lightning... enough said.... At least they aint Eagles.... Geez... Imagine loosing to the Alternates....

[thunder_15]

what do u guys think the teams r gonna be like next yr. thunder still have a lot of good players in under 15s wid some good players coming up

[chiefs_lacrosse]

eastside have 4 guys and 1 alt who can still play next yr, 3 of which are decent. and there are a few up and coming surrey players that scored 100+ goals in the club season.....so we'll prob have 2/3 of a decent team but the rest average players

[Jesse]

Kids from Surrey that could make it next year:
James G. (100% sure he will...)
Chales M.
River B. (Maybe...)
Tim W.
Henry K. (Got like 100 goals in Under 13's. Great Skills.)
Jarryd P. (Has alright skills, will ahve trouble with being hit though)

Dunno about the others...

[endoftheline]

isn't one of the purdie boys playing next year?

[Jesse]

isn't one of the purdie boys playing next year?
Yes. My bro is best mates with him. He has good skills. He just needs to change his attitude.
He tried out this year, and i hit him real good. And he had to get helped off...
As you can tell, im not a huge fan of him...
His cousins sick as though... hes like 8 and hes teaching me tricks..

[millzy]

eastside next yr wont be to bad but they so need to get use to the hitting. one of our main guys adam is a big boy and is still in 15ns next yr i think he will be capt.
but stuff eastside boys its titians next year :)
Millzy

[-texlax-]

haha yea jesse that was mad we sandwitched him lol didnt he have a concussion or something.. thats what i heard

[aussielax]

Yeah after watching the Eastside vs Metro game on satarday, I have got to say there are some kid's that are going to get destroyed in 17's next year if they don't learn to pass.

[thunder_15]

yeah especially wen ur playing against me ;). but then again i may not be playing in 17s cause i mite be goin to canada for the worlds :thumbsup:

[Jesse]

Know any names? A few of them just run the field... I do that alot though, but I pass.

[aussielax]

nah i'm not gonna name names mostley because i don;t know them all. But i will say that from what i saw on satarday it was more the surrey kid's that weren't passing when they had very good opertunities to, I don't know if this can be put down to the fact that these guy's play in weaker club team that the camberwell boys and are used to holding the ball more because the don't trust their team mates to do it.

It's just an observation i mad after watching the game on satarday.

At Surrey, me and Milzey where the only two players really. So it was really hard this year. Next year should be soo much better.
Any feedback on my game?

Yeah, stop carrying your stick like a stunned mullet! Your Surrey Under 13 Divi 1 side had a few players (Kumar, Purdie, G. Jenney) that could have played on the Kings....New topic of discussion....(saves me from commenting further on your play, Jesse!). Lax Victoria is looking to change the age groups to even numbers: under 12's, 14's, 16's, and 18's. In fact it looks like a strong possibility for the 2006 season. How do you guys feel about that one! In essence, that means last year's teams remain the same. Talk to me about it....

Ive got better at holding my stick up. The last couple of games on Astro I thought I did better.
Kumar is good and so is Jenney. I dont know about Purdie though...
Im not a big fan of making it even numbers... Actually im totally against it.

Kumar - good skills but inconsistant. One day he looks like a young michael powell, the next he's trippin over his feet.
Purdie - good face-off and great outside shot. Bit of a "black hole" - once you pass him the ball, it disappears.

The best under 13 is G. Jenney...still has another year of 13's and his stick skills are sick. I watched him a few times this past year after he came back from playing in the states. Very smart (his father is an ex-NCAA player who has coached him from day 1)and consistant week in and week out. In the grand final against Willi he had 8 goals, 4 assists, including a shot between his legs, ala Maracheck. From what I understand, Jesse, he lost to you in the under 13 best in fairest by one vote in 2003, and he was only 9-years old??? How old were you, 13? I hear Jenney has a little brother that is very good as well.

Can't wait to see these under 13s in a few years!

I have no idea, they wouldnt tell me the votes. Griffin is easy the best.
Your 100% correct with Kumar...
Yeah, Noah is good aswell. Carves up the Under 11's.
Question about the changing to even numbers: That will mean that the Under 15's tournement will have to be picked out of 2 different ages groups.
Also, what are they going to do about rules? Will Under 14's allow checking??

[Aussie_kid]

they wont change the age groups i dunt reckon, just a rumor going around which wont happen, they probaly should though, someone told me that instead of changing all the ages. u/17s will become u18s. that what someone told me

[endoftheline]

i reckon they should have an under 19 division. I dont know why but i just reckon it would be better. It could convince more people to keep playing if they still think there "juniors. i dno

Jesse, I have it from the junior coord at Lax Vic that the age changes are almost certain. Just have to wait and see what really happens at the junior forum at the end of the month. The thinking at Lax Vic is that they want to keep kids from goin walkabout after under 17's/VCE year. Those high school studies are pretty intense and lacrosse losses a ton of players while they try to finish their studies. Most of them don't come back after that year off.

Yes, under 14's will be playing full contact stickchecking rules....I am just not sure if they will be playing 8 or 10 aside. That Surrey under 13 divi 1 side of yours should have no problem spanking other teams, especially with their stick skills. They really impressed me this passed season. Not a weak link on the team. And three definite guns. Surrey's juniors as a whole have really stepped up these past few years. Not only are you getting good numbers, but the quality is definitley there. Just need to keep 'em. I don't think that will be a problem for the Surrey under 13's. From what I understand, they have played together since they could walk.

What does everyone think about the possible age changes?

Our Juniors are doing awsome.
The new rules really interest me. They seriously need to wipe out the whole 5 foot long pole rule. My long pole from this year barely stood lasted the whole season. It means that us defenders have to buy a whole new stick and chop it down.
If Under 12's have bumping, I think that alot of parents wont want their sons playing. Considering some of the kids that are playing are 8 or 9 year old. And going up from Under 12's to Under 14's with full contact is a huge leap. I belive that most of our Under 13's this year are more than capable of checking, but getting new kids to join at that age would be very hard.

[Aussie_kid]

what i think would be logical is..
u/12s same rules as 11s
14s same as 13's
16s same as 15s
18s same as 17s

[Jesse]

what i think would be logical is..
u/12s same rules as 11s
14s same as 13's
16s same as 15s

Thats what they are going to do. But they will also have to combine the rules.
And I belive that lowering the age of checking will please current players, but also lose new recruits.

[chiefs_lacrosse]

the new rule changes intrest me but i'm also against it. The good thing is that i will be with the chiefs team once again next year from 2005 which means a whole team that can catch and pass but if it doesnt change then i basically get a team in which half can catch and the other half just fill the positions. The bad thing about it that you wil lose young new recruits just like jesse said, because some 12 yr olds, who will be in the lowest age group, have started hitting puperty and when some of the young new recruits, aged 9 or 10, are going to be ****ting themselves on the field when they come across these bigger opponents. And i do remember by the age of 12 i was ready to bump the crap out of someone and to have to wait another year wouldve been bad.........
....i hope you can understand that...

[Minotaur]

Lax Vic is also considering an Under 10 development league with a smaller field. That would be your under 11's rules. Under 12's would play under 13 rules - without stick checking but with body checking, 4 second time limit, etc....(which I think is regressive and does not develop stick protection. Why would you teach kids to dislodge the ball with a body check and in the process loss your defensive position? It's beyond me. Teaches bad defensive habits.) Anyway, this is not just a rumour...it is now being considered by the Victorian governing body.

Im completely with you there.
Maybe they should use womens rules?
Only able to check up and down. And possibly make arm guards compulsary.
No long poles though.

[chiefs_lacrosse]

nah, i don want all this to happen. its almost worth writing a hate email to lacrosse victoria....maybe they should have a poll at the start of the year or something

[endoftheline]

Another thing to think about is how it would affect kids games.i think for some players it will be good and some bad. Theres a couple of under 13s at malvern who should definetly be playing 15s next year but theres some who would really improve staying back. Coaches should decide whether to push some kids up or keep some back. There are a couple of players in under 15s this yr who easily dominated like Chris Plumb (footscray) Phil Skiller (surrey) Ollie Smith (malvern). I know both ollie and chris got 90-100 goals and if they had to play 15s again they would be too good and they might become lazy. Either way i don't mind as this year i was in a team of basically all guys my age and that was great but i also prefer to play with the older kids.

This year Surrey had alot of first years. Milzey (Skiller) played in the Under 17 grand final for Surrey this year and he didnt play in our grand final. And it really showed how much we depend on him.
Apparently there is a Junior meeting next week that im thinking about either going to or getting the Surrey Junior Coodinator to explain these points on my behalf.

Olie is good but he isnt so amazing i recon he got so many goals because he is basically the only good attacker on the team. You could see that in southern where all the attackers where decent so its more even and olie got like 68 goals not 90-100

[Aussie_kid]

still getting as many goals as he did, and to finish second on the VLA u/15s goal scoring list is a decent effort, it proves he is good, and if he plays 15s again would do the same thing.

[haRy]

i know im mates with him and played with him im just saying

[endoftheline]

he got 68 at malvern and 15 at chadstone from 2 games so thats 83 all up. He would easily dominate 15s again.

[haRy]

yeh if he played at malvern but i would like to see how he went at footscray

[Aussie_kid]

he didnt play for footscray?, mate what are you on about, that hole your digging is getting bigger and bigger. If he played at footscray of course he would not have scored as much cause Plumb plays there

you definetly do not understand what im am trying to say im saying i mean to say if played on a team with a few good atatckmen instead of him being the only good one it would be different....... :dummy:

[endoftheline]

you definetly do not understand what im am trying to say im saying i mean to say if played on a team with a few good atatckmen instead of him being the only good one it would be different....... :dummy:
i played on that team it wasn't just ollie he was just the main finisher. He probably got 60% of his goals from himself by dodging but the rest were due to being setup by the other good players on the team such as phil, mez, jake and jack. Ollie was good enough to know where to be when these players had set something good up and instead of shooting theyd pass to him. Without Ollie we wouldn't of finished 5th but he didn't do it all by himself he had help.

[haRy]

those guys arnt very good

[Aussie_kid]

yeh mate, and i am sure i will see u play d1 college, and playing in the MLL in thefuture

[haRy]

ok guys just forget it i didnt mean to sound like a d head but obviously it came across the wrong way i just dont think he is as good as chris plumb or phill skiller

[millzy]

hey guys i to think that the age changes will be a big fault. our teams will b altered at it will become to easy for some players. i found this year easy but we did have afue challenging games if the rules are changed we will have first yr 15ns playing against third year 16ns which can come off really bad.

[Jesse]

No We wont Phil. It will be all the same teams as last year.
But it would annoy you and I alot because we are wanting to go play with this years Under 17's.

[wolves_lax 11]

if they changed the age groups over in West Aus i would crack the poo soooo bad. i found it hard this year playing 15's and 17's getting horrible fouls in 15's coz of height weight overal bigness. would cry if i had to play again.
:crying:

[shortbread]

hey im from west aus but i have just moved to england, whats the go in aus these days, hows the aussie team soundin, do they have a good chance in the worlds this year or what.... hey anyone from west aus hows everything goin there, anything good happenin...?

[millzy]

i wouldnt mind if it changed but then think of u defending on someone like jarrod purdie again.....u killed him


No We wont Phil. It will be all the same teams as last year.
But it would annoy you and I alot because we are wanting to go play with this years Under 17's.
