10 SECONDS TO GO SCORES ARE LEVEL????

[whistleblower]

Who should take the ball from your team / club to attempt to throw the winner???

Lets hear it and why?

[Warriors26]

I guess if your looking for a clutch player you cant go past people that have done it before and people that are cool under pressure. at woodville i think James inge would be the man i would toss the ball to if i was charging down from d on a fast break. he can take the hit and slashes and put the ball in the net when it counts

I would get the ball to newy!

As to why, need I explain?

[jjmoto]

i actually did that once but it was 5 secs left and it was only tied at 5 seconds left in the first half but yea i ran from mid feild and got slashed like H*ll but i scored

[Shooter McGavin]

Then James would give it to me Whip for the cannon into the top corner! ha ha

Your team mates would be pretty p1st about this since he doesn't play on your team diggity???

[Bobsch]

My old team had the decision in the 2006 German Championships. Frankfurt had two great ex-Army D1 players, Tim Pearson (former All American) and Greg Tily (2006 German National Team). Everyone from Aachen was looking for Pearson, but he got the ball to Tily for a point blank shot (stuffed here in the pic by Aachen's goalie Gregor). The game went to overtime and Aachen won 8 to 7.

morelax, u dun think much of the mcc boys do ya, due to any of your post bout us, u shood let us know who u are so we can get proberly aquainted on the field? wata ya say champ?

[cannon]

Piperlax, I worked out what you're saying but come on mate please spell correctly.

Big Guns, Newy = Ben Newman from Williamstown, in my estimate the best player in the country at his age by a mile.

[lukeoz]

not quite on thread, but in SA they apparently introduced overtime recently, so that there aren't any drawn games (this is for regular season games) ... i don't know when because i've been away

i feel that draws are part of the game, despite the empty feeling afterwards... i don't think a team deserves to lose (or win) in overtime... although in finals it's warranted because you need a result...
thoughts?

This season.

[bluedevil49]

I thought the VLA men's state league teams for 2006 were

Eltham
Williamstown
Surrey park
Camberwell
Melbourne
Caulfield
Malvern

I assume that Melbourne is actually MCC (based on the player list on the website)

[cannon]

morelax you been eating acid? :thinking:

if you yourself play SL then i reckon you would have noticed MCC at some stage

[shortfuse]

Gotta be a Stiglich brother for Eltham I think...

Possibly Reggie also...he probably has the ball already anyway!

I like overtime. Can't stand having a draw. I'd rather win or lose.

Just wanted to clear up: The above quote was in regards to who I would give the ball too, not who Morelax is. The last thing I need is a Stiglich brother or Reggie out for my blood!

[whistleblower]

Interesting to see the nominated people....to me there are many great players listed who score plenty of goals week in and week out, however these same guys also make many mistakes.

The pick of Paul Cook from the past is a good one!

Robbie Stark would be a perfect option these days.

From my club I'd pick anyone to drive and let Scotty Menze take the shot - he'd give you your moneys worth!

There's always the hidden ball!

[shortfuse]

Menzy would just miss the cage! He'd throw it damn hard though, spectators beware!

[shocks043]

overtime....sudden death......makes for some interesting and intense lacrosse.....

bring it on....

10 seconds down - my man is Ethan Poole (ex Hartwick College then BLC 2006)...however players i respect in SA are Jimmy Inge, Ryan Stone, Howler (when he isn't saving 'em), Lee Perham, Anson Carter......enjoy having all and any of these blokes on my team...

[Corduroy]

With 10 Seconds to go...Hmmm! In the old days I'd have to say anyone of the following guys could have done the job. Paul Cook, Cameron Bar-Kemp, Jim De Carlo, Cam Toomey, Chris Baker (maybe not score but definately create), Dano Jennings, John Brewer, Gordon Purdie, Suthy Thouen - All proven game winners.

Today - Hard to go past Ben Newman, Marty Hyde, Nic Leguen, Team Stiglich, Rob Stark.

If I could pick just ONE guy - I'd go for James Inge (SA).

Merry Xmas, Peace and here's to a big year of lax in 2007.

Roy.

Roy.
This year playing divi 2 We had 12 seconds left to draw to force over-time. The ball was given to Paul Cook and he scored (of course). We ended up beating MCC in overtime which was probably the highlight of the year considering they had drubbed us earlier in the year by like 20 goals.

[cannon]

if we are talking the past...Darren Gibson without a doubt

[igloo dweller]

Possibly Reggie also...he probably has the ball already anyway! ^^haha, touche.

5 or so years ago willy were 1 down at camberwell with 5 seconds left and had possession on their defensive restrainting line. ruffy got the ball, ran 5 metres, threw it to dan jennings who stuck it from the restraining line, 5 metres from the sideline. we still lost in OT. dano would be my go to man

these days id be throwing it in the area of tom garnsworthy - wheres the fun in a regulation game winner??? i wanna see an one handed, round the world, eyes closed, upside down corner sizzler!

as for other teams, id hate to see noofa driving and creating space for scott menze to shoot...

[Veno89]

one a grade game or state leauge in vic we tied the game up with about 20 seconds to go and we ended up into overtime, 3 scorless rounds of overtime then the 4th we finally scored and one the game. the game went on for another 30minutes

[pumba]

mate are u in the vic team?
if your gonna talk crap about marty hyde then maybe you should look at his stats and his performances in vic.
unless u got something better than that??

mate the vic team wasnt that special.
i have played with and against him lots of times.
over rated

[PobegaFLC]

this yr in the U19 state games, vic v's SA we were down by 1 goal with about 1 minute to go, ben newman got 2 fast breaks n scored both of them.

[bluedevil49]

Depends on the situation. If we've got the ball and have to clear it from defence then without a doubt give it to Andrew Stone for the full field run and long stick goal. If it's already in the offensive end. Ryan Stone to go it alone or either Adam Hamilton, Robbie Rigg or Chris Averay to feed it to a cutting Nigel Wapper.

[bluedevil49]

As for past Sturt players that I've played with, Craig Jaeger. Never seen anyone do a split dodge better than him. Ever! Not to mention his shot speed and accuracy.

[fairy]

interesting that Morelax has gone very quiet..........
best he stay that way IMO

Oh, I just figured you were one of those morland blokes who pulls their white sock up and wears black boot pollish on their cheeks regardless of the weather / playing surface.

[fairy]

morelax hails from eltham-not moreland- has short memory span- how did they go against Surrey last season when they were missing players overseas??? don't hear anyone sledging his club.
who knows?jealous???? mcc did have a good representation in the vic team

[whistleblower]

I can answer that.........We lost to Surrey by 14 + goals (with a team that featured only 1 player who ended up being in the grandfinal team.....While on a muddy field opposite the remaining players handed Altona Div 1 it's first loss for the year by 14+ goals.......and then 2 months later won our 3rd S/L flag....and Surrey Park finished 4th.....and thats really what everyone remembers.

That team had liek 5 under 17 players one state league player and the rest divi 2 players as they had to give a bye as they didnt have enough players to fill 3 teams.

[swankylaxer]

Don't worry Pumba, no body from Surrey puts any sort of merrit into that win. We know how inexperienced that team was and it was simply a day to try out some new things and boost percentage. I thought the young fellas in that Eltham team held up really well and showed some great potential.

[fairy]

missing my point fellas,
moelax is ALWAYS quick to can mcc on their performance, but fails to reconize that they had 9 or more of their top 12 players missing for over half of the season- due to injuries, travel with the Aussie team, (players and spectators) and extended overseas holidays. other teams,IMO, suffered less prolonged absences.
anyway, that's ,my observation from the outside

[laxmcc]

ive been pitching that the whole year but nobody takes notice

well put...

[whistleblower]

From the outside I would take note 4 of these top 9 players played at different clubs in 2005.


They had only one true MCC player make the AUS TEAM...

And if you believe that MCC were the only team across the state who had to deal with these problems (injuries, travel with the Aussie team, players and spectators) and extended overseas holidays) than your kidding yourself.

http://www.laxscene.com/index.php?m=gamestats&gameID=492

Furthermore this link shows you when MCC played Eltham during the world games, the end result 23 to 7 - Eltham missing 10 players from their Grand final team.

[fairy]

"true MCC player"? - so what if they came from elsewhere? point?

read again! IMO other teams suffered less prolonged absences- never said they were the ONLY team across the state.

of course Eltham had greater depth to draw from at this time-fair enuf-it was never about disputing Eltham's talent- rather pointing out to Morelax his irrational and illogical name calling, apparent hatred and bias against MCC.

[Warriors26]

why dont you all stop *****ing and just get back on topic i bet the people sooking the most wouldn't have the sack to do anything when crunch time came

[fairy]

fair point W26- discussion not going anywhere

[laxpigmi2005]

if we are talking the past...Darren Gibson without a doubt

Very true Cannon.

He would be my pick too, by a mile

[bluedevil49]

So to get back on topic, I've already mentioned who I'd get the ball to from my club team, so if it was a state game from 2006, I would say give it to Anson Carter. Previous years I would have said Mark Mangan.

[Warriors26]

what about with the boards up BD49 who would you look to to put it in the 4x4 with less 10 on the clock from the one season that i have played on the floor i would say Waps would be a sharp shooter. probly wouldnt give it to hooper might end up in your own goal :)

[whistleblower]

Time to start a new thread since Warriors 26 had a sook about it!

[Warriors26]

Get it right dude you should have started a new thread when you started talking off topic it is about clutch players and i was making a point that the people sledging and bagging each other out wouldnt be people i would give the ball to when crunch time comes :nono:

From Sturt - Waps or Riggsie
From the rest of SA - Carter or Hoops (He's got it shooting pretty good now)
From VIC - Tim Fry or Dan Stiglich for the the drive to the goal. Rod Maher for the outside snipe
From NSW - Frank Nicholas, or for his recent cameo at the KGV, Dennis Juleff

[Devils-Advocate]

howz about Cocky or Brad Ross!

[aussielax]

howz about Cocky or Brad Ross!

For Camberwell it'd be either of those two or Danno P or Chris Wiese.

[Devils-Advocate]

is b.ross playing this year?

[laxpigmi2005]

who knows..

he was playing footy at one point.

[aussielax]

is b.ross playing this year?

I spoke to him the other day and he said he is thinking about it, He is currently training to run a marathon so he said he'd start pre-season training an he will see how it goes from there.

[absent lax]

i reckon old man fox from surrey would be my pick for giving the ball to with 10 seconds left. although like chris baker he'd be more likely to create something for you with an assist than a goal himself.

[hotdogfactory]

I think ben newman from williamstown/footscray/MCC he is amazing

[fogolax03]

jeff kennedy, east fremanle w.a.
for all of u that dont know jeff was the greatest lacrosse player oz ever produced, without question!!! this is a no brainer!

[laxpigmi2005]

Kennedy from X, with 10 secs ... good pick

[cannon]

what about his partner in crime Peter Cann?

interesting side note Dave Urick the head coach of Georgetown Univ. once told me that he once saw Kennedy and Cann playing together and said they were the best 1-2 combo he had ever seen, ever, to this day.

pretty impressive, he said they were also rather impressive in the bar. :thumbsup:

[fogolax03]

no argument here, i learnt all i needed to know about this game both on and off the field. he was the best ever!!

[Minotaur]

Klay Johnson. Frank Urso. Craig Jaeger....end of story.

[bluedevil49]

Who was Frank Urso?
Agreed on the other 2.

BTW, Jaeger is still playing box lacrosse in SA

[Waps]

Jaeger actually made one nice split dodge last friday.

[bluedevil49]

I guess he loves that new titanium hip

[fogolax03]

having spent alomost 10 years on long island, u hear that frank urso was one of the greatest of all time, but to put craig jagear and klay johnson in joffas category is simply rediculous. i played with and against both of them, and whilst i have the utmost respect for both of their games nobody dominated games at every level as jeff did. klay was a personal friend of mine and he is sorely missed, jaegs was probably the best dodger i ever saw in person but jeff did it all. if jeff did not have a heart problem in 82 i am firm believer as is almost any american on that team that the record books may have been a little different that day at hopkins.
