handy ruckman returning..

Did... did... did FC just hashtag????

:shock:

sometimes you just need to fight fire with fire.

As a sidenote and completely off topic, I'm even refusing to watch MKR for the first time ever this year because of the two hashtaggers in the ads.

that's how much I hate hashtags.

i might change my profile pic to this:

Lockleys just starting to gain a little momentum and keeping things on the downlow
I'm sure the Zedman is going to deny and deflect like the master tactician he is but plenty of little wins over the pre season
Last years medalist big Martinello has come back bigger, stronger and hungrier with 4-6 kgs added to the frame
A few senior players seem to have made a bit of a commitment to the big chief and will curtail the European in season holidays in 2017
Not sure how the 10 million dollar redevelopment is going but that is sure to be handy
Good numbers on the track and a couple of good committee additions to assist the growth in junior programs
Some of the boys really feeling the sting of a missed opportunity last year and keen to make amends
A few lads in the human movement Uni courses looking to bring in some late recruits to add to the depth

An amount of $2.5 million has been budgeted for further shared community facilities and related development, with further funding of $5.0 million projected over the next two years. The funding is for the redevelopment of Lockleys Oval and Apex Park.

not sure when it starts but it was promised if the coalition was elected..we await patiently..

in regards to recruiting, we are always fishing for king george but equally happy to catch a few other fish..we dont have the flashy lure$ others do.. :)

H has had a big summer in the gym..

we love human movement and uni students bathy..all welcome at rutland ave!

might interest some of you..HBF should be all over it and get some recruits from down south!

After extensive discussion with the Southern Football League it has been decided that the best avenue for the club to move forward, we will be fielding a C Grade team in 2017.

Ingle Farm will not make the Grand Final based on one thing most of them are HOGS

https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/09/52/bd/0952bd6098369d9c6e2c48852fb9343a.jpg

i think farmers will be right up there..its almost their time..wcfc have a few top guns to replace..fitzroys recruiting has been A+ but lets see if it gels..

to have elizabeth out of the top 5 is a bit naive..also that pulteney will drop from div 5 to 9th in div 6..most likely another year where % will be critical..win 9 games at home and you play finals i reckon..

Is Martinellos future up in the air at Lockleys? Renmark offering big coin to lure him away from Demonland

tell them to grab a ticket and get in line.. 8)

Don't worry Zedman the God of Lockleys won't be leaving in 2017 anyway ;)

dude was getting in early eh? :)

ebony marinoff is the current god of lockleys right now!

So someone speaks to the Greenacres coach and he is upbeat and positive and is confident they will get the numbers, but on here instead of getting behind that it gets dismissed by everyone who isn't involved at the club. No one would know better than where they are at than their coach imo.

exactly..the vultures circling need to STFU!

some are almost joyous to see claims of a demise..how about backing and supporting a struggling a club instead of kicking them in the teeth?

Things not looking to good out Greenacres way.be lucky to fill two sides and won't win many games if they survive at all apparently. Hope it's not true. Norm,perhaps the rumours (which are getting stronger) in October may be on the money after all.

Was told yesterday that the Clark Boys of to Kilburn, we have to see if that happens.
Are they, If greenies hend up folding or are only able to provide the 1 side ,who ever gets them brothers they would be a very handy late pick up. :D :D

you imagining them with blue and white hoops coman? ;)

Looks like zedman and co have been very active on there recruiting, zedman I often amagine that we had the Clark brothers, I have to admit that I have imagined martinelo rucking with bellman too,lol :roll:

that would be a difficult duo to control! good luck mate..will be watching the scores closely..

we do try and target ex lockleys juniors and seniors a lot..there would be over 10 ex juniors in the A grade squad now..its good for the culture of a club..

The question i would like to ask is why would a club not communicate with another club regarding its transfers? Story is one club has cleared 3 of the 10 or so that want to move to another club just down the road. Yet the club receiving the new players don't talk but will send the heavies down on Tuesday night to put the heat on the club that has declined the transfers. I think its better not to mention the clubs but they go by the initials Marion Football Club. Nice work in your first year back. If you cant talk to the established SAAFL club. After re-joining from leaving previously you would think you would follow the rules rather than use underbelly type tactics.

when did marion join the saafl?
Ballsed up there, was thinking about Brighton when i was typing this. Nice work Al!

There is a 3 player limit as yankman said. Different circumstances can lead to over 3 being allowed but it requires both clubs agreeing to it.

a top shelf club from last year has dumped their B grade coach..and its not zartan after last nights performance..

:shock:
You would have seen a bit of him Zedman, what sort of player is he?

not as big as dad but very smart around the goals out of a pocket or flank..we used to put a player on him who spreads well because his defensive action was fairly minimal..stocky build and very experienced..

thanks to marion for the hit out yesterday..presented with over 45 players and whilst they were under the pump in both games they fought it out and gave a us a physical contest around the stoppages..they wont play finals but there is something to work with there but its a long haul..good luck to ben and his boys for 2017..

Mitchell Park vs St Pauls OS - 30 points

Handy zero pointer Zedman

great to have him back where he belongs mate!

Smithfield knocking off top team in Colonel Light Gardens a great way to get their first win on the board. Webber provides big target up forward with Ashby, Gray and co, defense solid and big Bellman gives first options to Cooky, Angove and co. M.Lane just never stops running and gives his all. Maybe the start of things to come after a couple of unlucky results early on, they are definitely improving.

jake mentioned the inclusion of webber is a big plus as its gives them good direction and a genuine hit up forward, cook and ashby are top quality when on..another player could be returning as well i was told..
Ashby and cook are really on at the moment zedman,they are really enjoying their football,and we may get garner cleared by next round.

congrats on your first win coman..getting the big bull back in the middle will improve you by 3-4 goals at least..

Looking forward to needing 3 balls and not just one spare behind the goals we are kicking too. 43 and 53 scoring shots the last 2 weeks so let's say each shot takes an average of 10 seconds to retrieve the ball. That's allot of wasted time. A spare ball at each end makes sense. Let's have a vote?

a lot of time is wasted whilst the opposition have the ball as well..get rid of them and then you can just pile the goals on like a training drill.. 8)

Much like last year's gf

if you say so..where you there?? :shock: 8)

the reserves coach hogged quality players and left the A grade and their coach to be relegated as he got his flag..this year the A grade is much stronger..hence, so are the reserves..

Hey Zed. Haven't seen any comments of last weekends game. Can you give a bit of a match report? Would have thought you guys would have gotten up over Woody South.

to quote the great greg popovich:

"We lost, they won and they played better"

cats have been competitive in every game in 2017 and adam said it was the best they had played all year by a mile..kudos to them..kicking only 1 point with the breeze in the last quarter obviously sealed our fate..we lick our wounds, of which there is plenty, and try to respond this week versus rosies..

smithfield had what other clubs would see as draconian rule sets including suspended games for not wearing proper attire on game day, suspensions for yellow cards and suspensions for missing training like phfc just did..but for that club it worked and it worked very well..at other clubs it may have led to walk outs..keep in mind that the league had them on a short rein so it was also part necessity..credit to thommo for that strong stance which produced great results..

oldman wrote:Elizabeth B grade are the best B grade team I have seen in the last few years across div 5 and div 6. Clearly the team to beat. Their skills moving the ball inside 50 is exceptional and considering the score in the A grade maybe a few should be playing higher?

this is brilliant!

A boom recruit is one that is (expected to be) the very opposite of a bust.

Well done to @Carey on his superb hosting job on SA Footballer TV on YouTube this week.

Absolutely loved the stitch up of the bloke from Mitchell Park that never.....ever......EVER! Shuts Up. Gold :lol:

So are you going to pull on the shorts or just conduct the game from the bench??

So many players...he can't even get a gig on a 7 man bench in the C's :lol:[/quote]
Offered my services to Hendo but he rejected me :(

great publicity for the club and totally unexpected..eddie is the man..we jokingly told him he could train thursday night as well if he wanted but he wasnt available because he was helping feed the homeless..legend..

How the hell are div 6 and 7 the most populated threads. Surely there should be more interest in div 1 & 2 but those threads are ghost towns. Thankfully I get a bit of interaction in div 5 especially if I dare talk the Rams up.

Anyway as fate would have it another juicy division 7 nugget has been unearthed today with one of the coaching alumni being offered a role at a league club in 2018. Probably a no brainer one would think that he will have new home next year.

you are the poor mans damian barrett growler! only one coach would fit that bill atm..his current club might have to up the ante.. 8)

thanks to bob and the hvfc for saturdays games..they suffered a sad loss friday night and played inspired footy in the A grade just failing to hold onto a lead..great to see them take some time out and come into our rooms for a few drinks and eats before heading back up grand junction rd to remember their mate..best of luck for the rest of the year..

Looks like the game will be played at St.Marys. Not too sure who that favours.

Just looking at the playing list for Glenunga they seem tight on points from the 2nd Semi. Do they have anyone to come back in worth any points?

i think it favours pooraka and their running strength/game but winning 4 in a row is difficult..rams have lost a key mid..a battle between the tall timber forwards of glenunga and the running power of pooraka..bulls have great momentum now..not shocked that they won on saturday..we saw first hand how well they are going the week before..but surprised at the size of the smack down..doubled the scoring shots and could have won by 12 goals plus..

congrats to armstrong from pooraka..very worthy winner of the division award and showed his class saturday..well done to martinello as runner up..

congrats to our #deesbees getting into another GF..same path as last year but a very much improved list and playing good footy at the right time..looking forward to getting back to st marys..

welcome to div 5 zartan and inallseriousness..a win for stability and determination..enjoy your week!
