Jason Brammall - Eltham
James Buchanan - Eltham
Eugene Desmond - MCC
Ben Fleming - Eltham

Vic have a pretty strong team and i think they will take the title again, but i would like to see the WA and SA teams aswell.

Are the ALL games going to be on Fox Sportsnet TV again this year?

Are Victoria favourites again or do WA have a chance of winning it this year?

I think the ALL is great there were some good competitive games last year, it should be even better this year with the build up to World Games 2006.

UKLF

[aussielax]

I haven't heard for sure if the games will be televised on Fox but i have heard rumors that they will not be shown.

I think Vic do have the tag of favorites, but i think WA will have an improved team with guys returning from OS and some very good young players comming through the ranks. As far as SA go they do have some class players and i think they will be able to keep up with WA and Vic. So all indicators say it will be a tight competition and should make for some good games.

[bluedevil49]

Vic, with their depth, are still the favourite, but I would say that both WA and SA will be fielding better teams than last year. I know the SA defence is looking better than it did last year. That and with Pete Inge in the face-off we will have more possession or at least first use of the ball.

[cannon]

The ALL unfortunatley wont be on TV this year. But hopefully they still film all of it. At least so UK can add to his collection!

WA gets the welcome addition of Kim Delfs fresh out of 4 years at Adelphi.
SA gets Peter Inge, the nations most recognised player, Aaron Lawman from Vic team 2004 and hoepfully some more motivated guys.

Vic team is stronger by adding N Stiglich the 6'4" highest scorer in the VLA this season. Mike McInerney(AA at Adelphi). Jim Buchanan(Australian rep 2002), Sam Marquard(aus rep 2002), Rhiain Barr(all world 2003) and Keith Nyberg(AA at Limestone). Should be fun.

[aussielax]

Yeah the should film the games and then sell the DVD's over ebay like they did last season. As far as the other team's go well i don't know, Are you allowed to give us the SA team list Bluedevil or is it being held top-secret like last season.

[endoftheline]

Gus campbell who commentated some games last year told me theres going to be no coverage because the ALL blew the deal. If you are planning on going to the Victorian games come earlier to watch the Victorian Under 15 sides play curtain raiser games. Metro will dominate but the rest will be close competions

[cannon]

as we said on the commentary on those games last year, it was awful, i cant beleive how bad and boring it was.

[aussielax]

Cheers Bluedevil, well SA look's just like last years team with a few additions.

I'm suprised Pete Witcombe made it, He played for the pressdents at the u19 Nationals.

[cannon]

i must say i agree with aussielax.

Pete W. is a good player and a great kid but i would have thought there were bigger, stronger, better poles than him in SA.

[bluedevil49]

Bigger, stronger...Yes
Faster, more agile and able to keep up with the speed of the WA young guns... Not many jump to mind. (Langstrethe and Andrew Stone didn't try out. )

He would have made the SA U/19 team except for one reason. The coaching staff (myself included) were not told he wanted to play. Having played with him during the ASPAC tryouts (They needed a team to play against) I would have picked him even though he couldn't make training due to work.

[aussielax]

yeah i have got to agree with you there bluedevil, there is a part of me that wants SA to win but there is also a part of me that says i have to support VIC so i won't mind if either wins really. I think peter Inge will make a missive difference across the midfeild, and it should be a good battle in the f/o between him and Robbie Stark.

[cannon]

point taken...he's a good back up goalie too

did marc stilgoe try out chris? who will start in cage vickery or sarge?

so ur saying u dont want WA to win?!?! neways i recon in a couple of years WA will be the power state of australia. wen the players from the thunder teams become the top seniors, WA will be hard to beat. That will be when iscore 5 goals a game against u guys :agree:

I think all the state's will stay pretty level as they are now over the next few years. I think all the juniors have been pretty even over the last few years (with the exception of the 03 under15's), so i don't think any state will "dominate" the ALL any time soon.

[mrg16]

Looking at that SA team and the following Aus Squad members are missing:

Brett Howe
James Inge
Cameron Adams
Wes Green
Trent Machner
Stephen Mortimer

Obviously a few of those will be playing college ball in the US, but given they are required to be at trials directly following the ALL final I thought Brownie might retain them in the SA squad in case they make the finals?

What is the deal with ALL team numbers this year? I heard they were thinking of bringing down from 23 so you couldn't rotate players out.

Brett Howe and James Inge are no longer in the Aus squad and i also herad that Trent Machner isn't in it anymore because he is no longer at Adelphi and has to get his grades up to get back in. And the other 3 guys are all based at colleges in the US.

[cannon]

Yeah Machner is back at Catonsville, but that shouldn't mean he's out of the squad. Other things may complicate his participation

I hadn't heard that Howe was out. thats a shame for SA, fair shot on him.

As far as numbers go, I think it's still 23 (though we only picked 20, with an alternate long, short and goalie)
As for retaining any of those guys in the SA squad just to play in the final. Can't be done. Everyone who plays in the final must have played at least 1 qualifying game. Given that most of these guys are flying in just for the camp, they wouldn't be able to play any other games.

Howe and Inge have both pulled out. I'm not sure why, but I think becoming fathers recently may have changed their priorities in life.

[endoftheline]

apparently both inge brothers are playing.

[cannon]

No, more likely the case that Lacrosse Victoria has its facts wrong.

[bluedevil49]

http://www.lacrossevictoria.com.au/index.cgi?det=1&intArticleID=798&sID=8
That would be news to me, as well as the rest of the SA team. I think it would be great for Jim to be playing, but in this case Cannon has it right, Lacrosse Victoria made an error

r ne of u guys going to the aussie camp before hand. i think ill give it a miss this yr

I don't think they are having one over here, Not many kids showed up last time anyway, I may go watch the 15's games that are on as the curtan raiser but that will only be if i dont have anything better to do.

[thunder_15]

i want it to be thunder 15s vs wembley green 17s for the curtain raiser for the wa thingy. top of state vs top of club

[Jesse]

I rekon at the end of the Perth matches they should have made a Allstar team. Best players out of all the teams....

[aussielax]

Yeah they sould have an All-Aussie team for 15's but aparentley the Australia Lacrosse people think that it is not good to have it at 15's level because it makes the kids who didn't make it feel "left out". Hell we didn't even have on at the 17's national this year, stupid new format.

[endoftheline]

they have the lacrosse academy thing where they send you a letter. i think thats the top 40 players. They should just pick maybe two all star teams and make it clear that just because your in that team doesn't mean your in the australian team and vice versa. That way no-one would feel left out.

[aussielax]

Yeah the talent identification program(TIP) is a joke , Half the kids have dropped out of it and the other half never deserved to be there in the first place.

[thunder_15]

yeah all i got was a letter. i thought we were gonna do some kind of training atleast aswell but it didnt happen

[Jesse]

Eh... I was sick the first few days... The last couple i did alright though... Best time to be sick...

[thunder_15]

neways back on subject, WA vs SA in adelaide on saturday.... wats everyone predictions. i say wa will win by 6 the first game and lose by 2 the second

[cannon]

I forsee SA winning by a very close margin with INge at the face off as the key component. Both teams fairly even around the ground but SA has the clear advantage in the face.

[bluedevil49]

I agree with cannon. I think we will win both games, but not by much. First use of the ball will definately help us to do this.

One more training, one more sleep then it's game day. Can't wait for the First game on Friday night. (Not looking forward to the ice bath following it though)

[cannon]

You must embrace the ice bath. Do not fear the shrinkage. Pain is just a weakness leaving your body.

[pumba]

Dam icebaths are good we did them last year but we didnt do them this year for 15s.

We went down to one of the Perth beaches... Bloody cold as.. But was great..

[wolves_lax 11]

yeh we went down to the beach after our games last year in melbourne and again this year in perth. it helps alot. you canr eally feel it the day after.

[thunder_15]

i recon out of melbourne and adelaide, adelaide has to have colder beaches (2003 compared to 2004)

[endoftheline]

yeh i reckon the beach is the best thing. It just makes you feel so much better afterwards.

[Jesse]

We had a spa at the hotel in Perth... And a Pool. The pool was cold as and the spa was soo warm..

[endoftheline]

so who won ..........

[aussielax]

WA 13 def SA 12 in the first game

[cannon]

wow, suprise results, especially the second game.

some very good pics at www.laxpics.com.au

bluedevil49, so what happened?

[Warriors26]

i can tell you we played with no heart i was told from a spectators point of view From a players perspective we simply got out played wa were more intence the whole game and a whole lot more drilled into there game plan unlike us. Browny Called a time out and wanted to change something and as soon as we had the ball again it was like there wasnt a time out and we just did what eva

[aussielax]

I think you mean www.laxpics.com cannon.

Ta Matt. I was about to say that the link wasnt working..

[wolves_lax 11]

looking forward to the games this weekend. they should be two awesome games. CARN WEST AUSSIE !!!

[aus_9_lax]

the games last weekend were pretty poor effort by the SA boys, actually the first game was pretty good for most of it, but the second game looked alot like they didnt care and it wasnt very pretty to watch. WA played well thou.

[cannon]

yep..my bad, nice pics though

[suga0108]

only 4 days to the all games in perth its gonna be good after the slump at the end of year

[thunder_15]

i wish they didnt have those laxpic thingys in the way of the pics. i cant make them as my msn display pic cause of it. well i can but it dont look that good

[Warriors26]

Thats cause those fotos are only samples its supposed to stop you from using them and make you buy the photo. the guy who takes those photos is proberbly the best at it in australia

[wolves_lax 11]

yeh they are very nice pictures. also the guy on www.winningsportsphotos.com can take a meen foto too. he did the Under 15's tournament. props to the man

[bluedevil49]

bluedevil49, so what happened?
In the first game we got out to a really slow start, 1-4 at one stage. Other than that it was a pretty good game. Both teams had good opportunities and the both teams pretty much went goal for goal. Unfortunately for us, WA went ahead with 44 seconds to go.

Game 2 was a different story. We got beaten on transition from O to D. If you ever see footage of this game, you'll know what I mean.

[mrg16]

bluedevil

There has been very little reporting of the games. i.e scorers etc.

Who do you think stood out for both teams?

After these games how do you assess WA and SA versus a stong Vic team on paper?

[bluedevil49]

This is what I thought of both teams;

Goals - All 4 goal keepers did a great job. Brown in particular seems to have adapted to the turf as he got many saves this year that he did miss last year. Williams was suprisingly good for a first timer. Vickery and Sargent gave good performances, but had a lot of quality shots put up against them

Defence - WA's team defence was pretty good. They slide well and had great communication. I don't think that they had too many takeaways (checks, not food) but just applied pressure to force errors. SA's defence was very quiet, unlike our trainings. Little communication leads to a less than expected outcome.

Face off- WA lacks a National level face off player. SA had Inge and he did very well.

Offence - WA had great ball movement and few unforced errors. Their outside shooting is great. On man up it was hard to cover the outside as everyone has a strong outside shot. SA's offence played well in game one but did not get shots on the cage when the opportunites developed in game 2. I think that we need more outside shooters to free up our inside game.

[endoftheline]

do you think that you'll be able to play better against the vics in a couple of weeks?

[thunder_15]

does anyone noe who the goal scorers were for both games

looks like i got beat to it

[thunder_15]

Is russel brown playing shorty again or did he get 4 goals wid his long pole. lol

[bluedevil49]

He's playing short stick.

[thunder_15]

that means i guess hes gonna play shorty for the worlds aswell. it was a bit of a shock seeing him with a long pole last year for ALL. hes been playing longy for club aswell. i guess he got his hunger for goal scoring back. even though he was still scoring goals with a longy

[ALL Fan]

Thunder, I was told Aussie Coach Brown wanted Russell as an attacking middy and not a defence player, but his ability to use both is an advantage to have in any team.

[thunder_15]

yeah tru. it would help if hes playin shorty d and a longy gets a foul instead of him going off he can just swap sticks with the person who got the foul. i used to do that in under 15s

[suga0108]

Kim plays at my club the way he shoots with his left i thought he was a lefty but hes right. man he can shoot




thats all i have to say

[thunder_15]

Vic beat WA 10 to 6. it was a really boring game. WA came out good at the start but after vic got there first goal it just went down hill. Warren Brown had an ausome game getting the MVP for WA and i think it was Darren Nicholas who got MVP for vic. WAs offence played like crap, there D was good at the start but started to get lazy. Vic had good D and a very good attack line. iv never seen a team that all more there feet at once

[cannon]

Vic had good D and a very good attack line. iv never seen a team that all more there feet at once

do you mean move their feet at the same time? if so do you mean D or attack?

who won the 2nd game>?

[thunder_15]

Vic thrashed WA again. i mean there attack like move well. wen the ball goes behind the cage everyone infront of the cage are moving there feet. either cutting or making space

[cannon]

Go Vics:

excellent photograph link on the page as well.

[chiefs_lacrosse]

Wins Losses Points Goals For Goals Against Percentage
WA 2 2 12 42 49 85.71
SA 0 2 0 21 29 72.41
VIC 2 0 12 28 13 215.38

So basically SA have to beat Victoria twice convincingly in the next two matches to have a chance on making the finals. And considering that Vic easily beat WA who beat SA, then it should end up being a VIC vs WA final.......if that makes sence

[bluedevil49]

Major upset, here we come.

[mrg16]

A few comments on the WA vs Vic games from the weekend.

Game 1
Victoria D looked fantastic and WA attack looked scrappy at times (Surprising as BlueDevil had commented on how well WA moved the ball last weekend). Kim Delfs did not play for WA but was replaced by Kim Gillespie.

Faceoff was clearly dominated by Reggie and Robbie but did not equate to goals.

I thought Jimmy Buchanan played well for Vic.

Game 2
WA got out to a 3-1 lead late in the 1st quarter....then a few things changed!

Brad Ross and Dan Pus were on fire, Vic dominated the face off, and Marquard and Shepherd are possibly the best d-men going round. Joffa held his own in goal (although WA shot poorly on the turf!). WA started to throw the ball away under pressure, but just got starved of possession from the face off.

It became very clear that Vic is a team that has been playing together for over a year and will be tough to beat. Ingey will be crucial to SA's chances and Peter Brown will have to think on his feet if they are going to win.

Brad Ross and Dan Pus will have gone a long way to securing a spot in the Aussie team with their performances....slick!

[cannon]

Thanks Griffo,

Dan Pus tore up the ALL in 2004 so its good to see he's back at it. Having him and Brad makes it tough to match the Vics because you can sub their pace out for either the big attack line (Stiglich boys) our the cutting and fed from x game with Jimmy Buchanan and Josh Ardossi.

Good to see Jeff went well, how did the young fella from WA go in the net? (and why arent you in the team?) also how do you see scoot and waz on form? (its fairly clear that I have a vested interest).

[mrg16]

Oh I forgot to say Jimmy Buchanan should make it back into the squad after seeing him play this weekend.

I have been carrying injuries all year and decided it was time to let them heal after the Aus squad adventure ended.

Wazza played really well Saturday night, and Scoot was ok but wasn't challenged enough to make an impression - one of the downfalls of having a dominant defense!

Wazza was under too much pressure in yesterdays game - the Vics really did carve them up. Sam Williams played about the last 12 minutes but only faced maybe 5 shots for 1 goal. He has a bright future after beating Sparksy for the U19 All Star spot.

One thing I will say about Jeff - he doesn't carry the ball in the open field as confidently as someone like Scoot or Waz, but his hands and feet were looking fast.

Keep at it mate, I still think you are in there with a chance!

[cannon]

Thanks Griff,

Sorry to hear about you injuries.

Im not overly fussed mate, I know there are no super standouts right now so im just going to go in there as fit as i can be right now (bad ankle and knee!) and have a good crack and have some fun and hopefully learn my weaknesses (im sure they will all be tested!)

By the way why did WA not play Delfs, Toy and Rainey? they have to be among if not the best players in WA??

[mrg16]

Dave Toy is not in the country. Originally he was to be back early for T Roosts wedding, but I believe he will now only be back for the Aus Trials. Not sure if that makes him ineligible for the final if WA makes it?

Rainey was added to the list I think in the hope he would play. From my understanding this will not happen.

As for Kim Delfs, I think that is best left up to the imagination :agree: ....let the rumour mill begin!

[cannon]

haha, ok so WA are foxing and just waiting to unleash Delfs on Grand Final Night (provided WA make it).

or maybe he's riding the in the Melbourne Cup and had to sit in the sauna for a day or two?

[bluedevil49]

Originally he was to be back early for T Roosts wedding, but I believe he will now only be back for the Aus Trials. Not sure if that makes him ineligible for the final if WA makes it?
Correct mrg16. Every player in the final has to have played at least one of the minor games. Also answers my own question of where is Travis.

or maybe he's riding the in the Melbourne Cup and had to sit in the sauna for a day or two?
:lol: Nice one

[wolves_lax 11]

i was at both games. WA looked promising at times but as many have you said they got booted out of the middle from the lack of top quality guys that face off. also we were slow of the wing with the VIC LSM's picking up numurous ground balls with little or no pressure. WA just lacked the composure and movement i feel that the Victorians had all over the park. but the games were very enjoying to watch. WA n VIC should meet again int he final unless something horribly goes wrong when VIC play SA.

[millzy]

yeh they are very nice pictures. also the guy on www.winningsportsphotos.com can take a meen foto too. he did the Under 15's tournament. props to the man

ALL Injuries:

J Stack broke a vertebrae (c7 for any physio types) and will miss for 6 weeks.

D Nicholas broken ribs and lung trouble (last I heard was in a perth hospital, that was monday).

any others?

[mrg16]

WOW!

I was standing behind the Vic bench when Reggie came off. He looked winded but was also holding the back of his neck. I don't remember him being hit in the preceding bit of play????

And Jesse looked like had either disclocated his shoulder or done his collar bone so that is a shock as well!

I really hope they are both doing ok.

[ALL Fan]

Griff
Nicholas was caught between two WA players just after a face off and one of the sticks was high across his back. As you described, he was rubbing the back of his neck when he came off and wasn't looking the best. Some of the clashes were aggressive and hard but that is what lacrosse is all about at this level. I had asked David Joy if there were any injuries to his players after the game on Sunday and he stated that everyone was OK. Hope he's not a medico in real life!!

[thunder_15]

yeah i saw some vic guy go off in an ambo. i think the hit im thinking of may be the thing that caused it. the 2 wingers were at it then wen they both wen in for a ground ball the wa dude let the vic guy go infront and just took him out. good thing to watch

what so you think its good or admirable to play the man not the ball, especially from behind? :monkey:

[bluedevil49]

I hope they both recover well. But I think Reggie should take the week off. (every little bit helps)

As for the above 2 post ^^, did he let him go in front to deliberately hit him, or was he just beat and then hit out of frustration? Either way, it isn't very sporting. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for big hits, but of the legal kind.

[ALL Fan]

Probably have to wait and see the video replay and determine then what really happened. The clash would have been deemed legal by the refs as no penalties were incurred. Agree Reggie should have the weekend off and recover for the final and Australian Team training afterwards.

[endoftheline]

big hits make the game a lot more exciting but when done unfairly or used as a deliberate tactic to scare the opposition its not good.

[Jesse]

big hits make the game a lot more exciting but when done unfairly or used as a deliberate tactic to scare the opposition its not good.
I got targeted a few times this year. It hurts but its funny to watch smaller kids try and hit me. :chuckle:
I cant talk though, I hit that Max kid from Thunder a few times...

Edit: Just got back from Vic vs SA. Vic won, cant remember how much by. Too tired. A few good hits, one of the Vic goalies had to get helped off.
Ill post more in the morning tired right now...

[thunder_15]

what so you think its good or admirable to play the man not the ball, especially from behind? :monkey:
nah i just found it funny. plus it seemed pritty legal. not much else happend in that game so yeah

[aussielax]

Ok everyone tonight Vic won 9-6 against SA. My first thoughts one the game are: Peter Inge didn't have good night he one all the face-off's but the rest of his game seemed to be lacking, Hell he looked like he wasn't even trying. Arron Sargent had a good game in the cage for SA stopping a lot of shot's. Anthonay Felepa also played pretty well putting away a few realy good goal's, SA made so brilliant offensive plays at the beggining of the second half but just couldn't finish. Craig Shikker is just a freakin moron, I mean who the hell punches a guy in the stomach after he scores a goal for no reason. Also there were a few illegal sticks Both James Buchanan and Justin Casagrande served 3 min penalties for this.

So if you can make scense of my post-match ranting you may just have a vauge idea of what happened.

Dont forget the Vic goalie got smashed....

[endoftheline]

^ yeh that was probably the most exciting part of the game. whilst clearing the ball scooter threw it up the field and got hit by 3 Sa players straight after he threw it and the the vics were on a fast break and got a goal. After that one of the Sa player punched the vic player who got the goal (Rob starr?). Scooter had to be taken off the field and was replaced by jeff joy.

South Australia started off weak with the Vic defence being far to strong. The halftime score was 5-1. The 3rd quarter was the best for South Australia and they came back to 6-4 and looked like they had a chance of winning. in the last quarter the vics came back though and won 9-6. The best player for SA was probably the goalie or Anthony Feleppa. For the Vics it could of been a couple of players as i don't think anyone really stood out. The vic defence was really strong and probably won them the game.

Oh, btw. How did Southern go against the Kings?
Did you see me?

[chiefs_lacrosse]

FYI: in the curtain-raisers first round, Metro smashed Warriors and Kings beat Southern Cross by three. Last night Warriors just got home by a goal over southern and metro were fast finishers against Kings to win the shield :(

Anyway....VIC won again in the ALL leaving SA without a win. Vic were leading the entire game and looked as if they hardly even broke a sweat. Joffy in goals had a great game however and troubled the SA offence who took many a crap and wastefull crank from outside.
Overall not as good entertainment for the crowd as the first VIC v SA but it should lead to a good finals series.

[cannon]

Yeah Victoria made and Inge-less SA look pretty sluggish in all area's of the park. They shut out Aaron Lawman and made Perham and Mangan ineffective. SA's d held up well considering the amount of ball that Vic had. However I would have changed goalies at half time if i were Coach. Vickery was not on song ( though he made one or two nice saves).

For the vics (who were missing 4 of their top 10 players) I thought Tokarua, Desmond, N Stiglich and T Fry were among the best. SA, Connoley did alot of work but needs a left hand, Feleppa had a good crack.

[Jesse]

I thought Friday nights game was alot better than Last nights. I got bored and started talking and mucking around...

[millzy]

Vic, with their depth, are still the favourite, but I would say that both WA and SA will be fielding better teams than last year. I know the SA defence is looking better than it did last year. That and with Pete Inge in the face-off we will have more possession or at least first use of the ball.


pete inge got raped in the face and after the first game he was so hurt he sat out. :)

[aus_9_lax]

Yeah im sure thats why Pete sat the second game out. he is the best face off player in the country so go easy mate.
looking forward to the finals, even though SA wont be in it, think it will be a good game.

[thunder_15]

who are the SA ppl going for? that would suck hosting the finals withur team not in it

[Jesse]

who are the SA ppl going for? that would suck hosting the finals withur team not in it
I doubt it will be the Vics, cause we made fun of them all last night...

[endoftheline]

yeh cannon i thought that SA should of changed goalies aswell wel because the other goalie had a good game on friday. Joffa was good at the other end and the best was probably Johnny Tokarua.

[thunder_15]

I doubt it will be the Vics, cause we made fun of them all last night...
yeah but the croud didnt see that game. they did see WA beat them though

[aussielax]

Joffy in goals had a great game

were you there last night? because you wern't watching the same game as me.

[cannon]

were you there last night? because you wern't watching the same game as me.

yeah I dont think he had a 'great game'. did some good things and some bad. certainly wasn't disgraced but wasn't on fire. SA took some terrible shots, especially Mango. He would be unhappy at his outside shooting i think.

[Warriors26]

[/QUOTE] James Buchanan and Justin Casagrande served 3 min penalties for this.
.[/QUOTE]
it was Mark Mangan Who had the illegal stick which as we found out at the hotel was very unlucky to be called. Sa had the chances just couldnt capitlise

[mrg16]

Any more info on the injury front?

Darren Nicholas?
Scott Garnsworthy?
Peter Inge?

And has there been any talk of inclusions into the Aussie squad before next weeks trials?

[cannon]

Inge was hobbling pretty badly while sitting out the Saturday game.

Nicholas looked to be moving freely and my guess is that he'll play the final in the place of Brammal who seemed to hurt himself on Sat night.

Scooter should be ok as he merely had concussion (although i hear he was twitching!).

Ryan Garnsworthy sat out the second game with a corky and will be right to play.

--
havent heard anything about inclusions though as ive noted elsewhere it think that

Buchanan
Lawman
W Brown
will be invited to try out

[bluedevil49]

There's always plenty of talk. Time will only confirm the true ones. From what I've heard and seen these guys or on the list

W. Brown
J. Buchanan
C. Schicker

Perham and Lawman are good enough, but I don't think they want to.

As for injuries,
Reggie only had bruised ribs so will be playing on Friday
Scott Garnsworthy ? - didn't get the chance to speak to him but he seemed okay on Saturday
Peter Inge - Still not sure what he did, but judging by the amount of swelling around his knee, thigh area, i doubt he will play on Friday.

[endoftheline]

someone told me scooter had broken ribs. I knew that wasn't true. Blue devil which number were you

[Doski]

go vics! cannon will be repping for the vics in the near future!
missed out on the games vs SA cos of exams, u guys are doin a great job keeping us readers informed

[chiefs_lacrosse]

so has anyone heard if the ALL will be televised on free to air television this year? itr was last year with an hour of highlights on SBS and foxtel....

[Jesse]

someone told me scooter had broken ribs. I knew that wasn't true. Blue devil which number were you
By the way, wouldn't you hate to lose to the Warriors? :laugh:

[crazed lax]

pretty easy to judge these players without knowing them or just judging them by a couple of ALL games. especially if your young and have got no idea what the hell your talking about!

[mrg16]

crazed lax

I am not sure which post, or who you were referring too, but that didn't make a lot of sense??

[ALL Fan]

so has anyone heard if the ALL will be televised on free to air television this year? itr was last year with an hour of highlights on SBS and foxtel....

No free to air TV was negotiated this year as SBS had a change of heart and couldn't commit to this year. ESPN Asia may run a highlights package but other than that, you will need to order a copy of the 2005 Games Package to see all the action. Lacrosse Australia web site has links to the ALL.

[thunder_15]

"The preliminary game will be between SA and a team comprising players from Queensland and Australian Squad Members."
oooo queensland ay

[bluedevil49]

someone told me scooter had broken ribs. I knew that wasn't true. Blue devil which number were you
#4 - long stick

[lacrosselover]

does anyone have an updated list of who they think will play for AUS after watching the ALL?

[lacrosselover]

Who will be dropped for the final from VIC??

[millzy]

Yeah im sure thats why Pete sat the second game out. he is the best face off player in the country so go easy mate.
looking forward to the finals, even though SA wont be in it, think it will be a good game.

yeah i kno in the world games no one could beat him so i just expected the same again. yeah it should b a good final the sa vic game got a bit rough on the first night i think pete did his hammy and afue vic players were taken out like scooter.

[Warriors26]

To clear up a couple of things friday night game was best and it was entertaining Anthony Feleppas behind the back dive was nice :worship: and the stick checks added a bit of entrigue to the game and peter inge was injured when A.Feleppa and D.arnnel crashed into his knee whilst he was facing off shown here (http://www.photonet.com.au/V416/slides/V416-135.html)<<<<<<<<<

managed to get yourself into that picture as well I see.

[endoftheline]

what do you reckon inges boston coaches will think of him injuring his knee. i reckon they'll be royal pissed off.

[ALL Fan]

ALL on cable TV - the ALL 2005 games will be packaged into a one hour programme showing most games and shown on the sports channel throughout Asia in December. Not sure of the channel it is going to be shown on yet or if it will make in onto any Australian cable or free to air. Guys in the final this weekend, make sure it's a good close game with plenty of action. I'm told that last week's SA v Vic game had plenty of action that will make the highlight package.

[Doski]

very exciting news...let's hope it's on aussie TV

[Aussie_kid]

yer cmon aussie cmon, cmon aussie cmon

[Warriors26]

managed to get yourself into that picture as well I see.
Just to prove it wasnt me hitting pete also i dont think they would be to happy at boston with him doing his knee but hey he missed the first half of the season last year cause he couldnt get a visa from the us some bull**** that it wasnt a proper income or something along those lines

[horney4lax]

Who won the games tongiht?

[PilotShinjiIkar]

Damn, you Australian kids have got some game.

[aussielax]

Vic 17 Def WA 6

I just had a look on the lacrosse Australia website and no match report or scoresheet have been put up yet.

[Jesse]

I saw that this morning. Anyone know the goal scorers?

[endoftheline]

excellent go victoria. Any more details?

[crazed lax]

well congrats to victoria! back to back national champions!

but i must say what a joke the all star team was!

the victorians were never troubled throughout the ALL winning the final by 11 goals.

Yet 5 west aussies which was one less than victoria.

You would think they would pick 80% vics since they dominated the comp

[gator18]

All Star teams are always a joke....... just as long as next to no South Aussies are picked it's good by me........

[bluedevil49]

Perham and Inge were the only 2 from SA

[aus_9_lax]

how did aaron lawman play in vic? he played pretty good in the games against WA i thought he might make it.. but then again he could have played badly in victoria

[ALL Fan]

ALL on TV
The 2005 Australian Lacrosse League will be televised on Saturday 10 December on CNBC Sports/Foxtel throughout ASIA (Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan etc), New Zealand and Australia. The programme will have highlights of all the games. Broadcast time is 6pm to 7pm East Coast (3pm Western Australia) and in Asia will be 3 - 4pm. The programme will be repeated the next day but an hour earlier.

[ALL Fan]

A reminder the ALL highlights from this years comp will be on this weekend. See above for details of times and channel.

[cannon]

sweet, get the tapes ready

[Aussie_kid]

CNBC sports would be what channel.......

[ALL Fan]

CNBC sports would be what channel.......


Aussie Kid - checking on this now for you.

[Doski]

apparently it's a news channel on foxtel

[Aussie_kid]

apparently it's a news channel on foxtel


therefore why would they be showing ALL on it?

[ALL Fan]

therefore why would they be showing ALL on it?
Because that is all that were interested this year and only after the series had finished was this negotiated. It is going to Singapore for Broadcasting throughout Asia as CNBC have a Sports show on saturday afternoons and an American ex-lacrosse player works for CNBC Singapore who was interested in taking the programme. The ALL programme was rushed through production with only a couple of days to put it all together before they wanted the tape. I'm hoping to get confirmation on the exact channel on Foxtel that it is being shown in Australia.

[ALL Fan]

CNBC sports would be what channel.......


This is all that has been supplied about the Australian Lacrosse League being televised this weekend. Sorry I can't be more specific but go to the CNBC Channel on Foxtel first before channel hopping.

Asia Feed: Dec. 10th: 15:00-16:00 HK/Sing & and repeat it Dec. 11th 13:00-14:00 HK/Sing
Australia Feed: Dec. 10th: 18-19:00 SYD & and repeat it Dec. 11th 19:00-20:00 SYD

CNBC have been running a 30 sec promo of the programme this week. If you have contacts in Hong Kong or Singapore/Asia make sure you tell them to watch it.

[12345]

Anybody know the lineup of the 2005 All Australian team?

[haRy]

yes its on lacrosseaustralia.org and it is also on lacrossevictoria.com.au

[Doski]

checked programme guides
singapore has "cnbc sports" on at the allocated time slot, yet australian cnbc doesn't mention nething related to lax. we'll check it out neways, fingers crossed

2005 Australian Lacrosse League Highlights
Friday, 9th December 2005
The 2005 Australian Lacrosse League Highlights (1 hour) is scheduled for broadcast on Foxtel Channel 38, Digital 606 at 6pm tomorrow (10 December) and repeated at 7pm on Sunday 11 December. I do not know if adjustments have to be made for time differences for these channels.

Please contact and encourage people to watch it and contact the broadcasters to encourage them to broadcast the 2006 ALL competition!



from lacrosse victoria website too late though. Did anyone watch?

[Doski]

yeah..was it actually on?

[bluedevil49]

Yep it was on. Not a bad wrap up of the games this year. Most goals were shown and that was about it

[thunder_15]

yeah i recon thats the problem with last years all highlights. it only showed goals. there heaps of good takeouts they missed out that they should have shown

[horney4lax]

Who cares, lacrosse got a viewing on national televison, dont be picky mate.

[Doski]

..on a channel that nobody knows about and a program that wasn't scheduled in tv guides..
yes i'm being picky haha, i only heard about it on the forum
