It's ok dude, sometimes teams just aren't as good as they once were. Riverside aren't what they used to be and that's ok nothing's forever.
You'll find they are sitting 8th for a very good reason.

What are you even arguing. Im not talking about the standard of DVCA just saying who cares about NMCA. The same two teams played off for a decade and now one of them is competitive in barclay. Good on them. Why are you pretending to be from DV you're an NMCA crumb
I would assume those clubs are going a bit better than Paradians or Whittlesea……

Ooooh how clever of you to assume, I had not realised until you opened my eyes to it. Only NMCA people care about this. I dont care if NMCA teams come into the comp. I dont think any of them would be anything more than competitive in Barclay along with 6 or so other teams. Most would be in Money or Mash. Rosebank could play finals this year, Rivergum probably could too. Theyre not gonna play against eachother for ten years in a row. That is why your comp is shit.
What an ordinary comment to make - but if it makes you feel good to label someone in that way then good on you
Any comp that has the same teams play off in the granny for 8 years in a row screams pox. Rivergum might be alright, Rosebank yes they are good, however spending upwards of $60k on players does not reflect at all the standard of the NMCA.
To put it into perspective, we see Banyule struggling at the moment BS, if they’re in the “Quick Shield” division, they would just about beat all those teams outright. Let that sink in.

Poor comparison, they'd also smash every mash side.

You think updating scores with 2 games to go would be a pretty good idea. Epping v diamond creek - anyone have any info ?

Lower, Boro and Mill Park would all fancy themselves against 22/23 Banyule for sure.

Not having live scores is bad enough, pretty ordinary this.

Yeah those perennial Barclay sides would fancy themselves. Is that really a serious statement ? Surely you jest

They’re about to get beaten outright (again) by a team that was in Mash Shield 20 months ago.

Silly statement. Rosebank were in Mash as a new side. In fact all new sides have started at the bottom level.
I didn't realise that Rosebank were gifted 2 games against Banyule this year. Maybe their form isn't as good as what it appears

Did you withdraw that comment coz it was a silly one? Since Banyule joined dvca 10 years , lower plenty have not been in Barclay. They haven't been in Barclay for 15 years Lower plenty. Greensborough will more than likely never get there.
Banyule would beat those 2 comfortably

Nah couldn’t be stuffed getting into a pointless argument to be honest but it’s happened anyway.
Think you’ve misread me as some sort of NMCA and Rosebank fan, all I was commenting on was how bad Banyule are this season. And I stand by it.
