Re: Grade Cricket

Any likely changes to the lineups that played in the Semis for WT and Kens?

Would be unlikely. Reading between the lines from Siddons comments in paper, sounds like Kane Richardson is fit and up for selection, but cant see Redbacks making any changes. They may take 12 or 13 players, and he may be 12th, but because they start Sunday, and we start Saturday, doubt he will play for us.

Kensington's young opening batsmen Henry Dall pulled out on weekend with apparently pneumonia, so not sure he would be ready to come back this weekend, so they may not change winning team either.

Re: Grade Cricket

Now the dusk has settled after yesterday's Grand Final, we can reflect on what would have to be one of the most amazing performances in the history of Grade Cricket in SA. To come from wooden spooners last year to be the first Club ever to win all three Premierships in one season is still hard to comprehend.

With the merger stuff going on last year, we were basically dead and buried. We then had all other Clubs trying to pinch all our players (Kelvin to Glenelg, Drew to Kensington, Drennan to East Torrens, plus several others as well). We may as well have packed our bags and closed the door.

But full credit to the A Grade players, led by Trent Kelly, they had a team meeting last August and agreed to all stick together and pay back all the volunteers at the Club who were trying to make it survive. After Round 1, he told them all the reason he was playing on was because he knew this young group of talented players would win the Premiership. How profound that statement turned out to be!

We have played 23 games this year in all formats and lost one (due to one hour of bad cricket against Glenelg) which is remarkable. We won six out of six in One day and 20/20 games. Comprehensive wins in all finals. Only the Port semi was close, and that was the most intense game of Grade cricket I have seen, full credit to Port.

We had the best bowling line up in the comp by a mile. Spencer Johnson with his left arm quicks would be the quickest in the comp. Braeden Renshaw is hugely under rated, but lots of wise people from various Clubs rate him the best bowler in 1st Grade. Ben Williams has relished having three other pace bowlers support him after going solo last year, ended up the leading wicket taker in the comp with 33 wickets @ 16.6, every game got the breakthrough whenever the team needed it. And last but not least, Trent Kelly with his experience and competitiveness no doubt won us many games, with both bat and ball. Logan Pastyn with his spin late in the year was vital too.

Batting was massive improvement this year, Kelvin was awesome after Xmas, and Bailey Capel for a 16 year old to open in A Grade and score 340 runs was brilliant. His innings in the GF was amazing. Drennan with three centuries and over 600 runs to go with his Keeper award was remarkable. Daniel Drew went to another level this year, resulting in a comprehensive Bradman Medal win. Pat Fisher improved with over 400 runs and Carl Mickan did his bit during year too.

The best thing was 10 of the 12 in the Grand Final are West Torrens Juniors, plus Drennan and Renshaw have played all their Senior cricket here. Other clubs could take a leaf out of our book. Ironically, we now have had approaches from 4 very good 1st Grade players from other Clubs wanting to join us, how times have changed!

Well that ends the 2016/2017 season. Expect to wake up soon and it has all been a dream, but if it is all true, then we will keep celebrating for a little while yet!

Re: Grade Cricket


Does anyone know what Ben Turley is doing? I heard a whisper that he was putting his name out there? He'd be a handy pick up at any club and definitely his batting, bowling and experience at the Jets would help!


Wonder if the karma bus will back up over this mooted move.....

What do you mean by the karma bus mate??

I wasn't trying to moot a move at all, was just curious..

I highly doubt Ben would leave the Peckers, but if he did, there'd be clubs after him I would have thought.

Strong rumour (from horses mouth so to speak) was he was going to Port, with Josh Hoffman going back there too. With Senior Turdley so involved at Woodville, this would be surprising.

The other story going around is there is going to be a mass exodus from Woodville, and the above mentioned player was the reason why, his team mates can't stand him.

Re: Grade Cricket

The AFL would love to know what SACA are doing right with the 1st Grade comp - the last eight seasons have resulted in 8 different teams winning the Premiership - not bad!

So of the other five teams, are Adelaide the most likely to win in 2017/2018??

Northerns last won in 2004/2005, but they appear to be a rabble.
Adelaide last won in 2003/2004, could be good chance this year.
Prospect last won in 2000/2001, looking like mass exodus if rumors of Dickman, Miller, etc leaving, so no chance.
Adelaide Uni last won in 1997/98, again may depend on who is left, Delmont, Agar, etc gone, but have money to recruit, so you never know.
East Torrens have the biggest drought going since 1990/91, you would never know that the way their players carry on like their shti doesn't stink, always have great starts to years and good team on paper, but massive under achievers, so again unlikely.

Re: Adelaide Footy League Division 1 - 2017

Adelaide Footy League CEO John Kernahan will play a different role this weekend by putting on an umpire’s uniform and becoming a boundary umpire for the Division 1 Reserves game at Goodwood Oval between Goodwood Saints and Payneham Norwood Union. He will be supported by legendary boundary umpire Darren Wilson, who retired from the AFL last year after umpiring in a record 404 AFL games including 12 AFL Grand Finals from 1998 to 2009. Field umpires for the game will be Adelaide Footy League Umpiring Manager Colin Rowston and Sunday Mail columnist Ben Hook .

What do the Goodwood and PNU lads think of their D1R game being umpired by celebrity umpires?
Sure, it's only the B-grade, and a boundary umpire doesn't really matter, but what's the go with a Sunday Mail columnist getting the main gig in the middle?
As a former player he'll know the rules and have a feel for the game, but still seems a strange move.

Ben Hook used to umpire SANFL Reserves, was a very good field umpire. Would have done League footy if stuck with it. Also umpired the first ten or so Slowdowns. He will be better than most umpires they usually get. And boundary umpires do not matter at that level. Great move!

Re: Grade Cricket

Not sure if Hound or backoftheroom can confirm, heard Josh Hoffman from Glenelg is moving to Woodville this season. Reckon Bays would be spewing if true as they have given him every opportunity and were playing him regularly in 1st Grade even though he failed to perform. Was dropped for finals, maybe that's the reason he wants out. His Dad is bit pushy, as per front page story in Advertiser re College cricket and now he is home schooling him.

Also heard Jacob Dickman from Prospect has settled on Woodville, was linked to few Clubs but if you listen to the Prospect boys talk about him and his "character", might be a good fit at Pecker land!

Heard the other Josh Hoffman (ex Port and now Woodville) did his knee playing footy and needs reconstruction, so maybe that's why they targeted Dickman.

Any other player move whispers?

What did he get sanctioned for? And how does that affect these rankings?

Or were you joking...? :oops:

Kelvin was given out LBW in both finals, can't remember now which one, but he stood there for ages, way too long. Umpires gave him a reprimand. Looks like that does affect your rankings.

Re: Adelaide Footy League Division 1 - 2017

Not to suggest they would, but given the AAA has pretty much condemned SN to relegation the League might have created a much bigger Alastair Lynch circa 2004 Grand Final problem.

Doubt that will happen. One more incident and they may not be allowed to play the remainder of the season, if they have that attitude then that's what they deserve. Can't believe the amount of people on here on Salisbury North's side, if you saw the video, then 3 to 5 games is fair. Every other Club in comp gets it, why can't they?? See if they can get their act together as a Club in Div 2 next year, get rid of their undisciplined players and play the ball and not the man. Or just continue to whinge on here about how hard done by they are. Will never improve or get better if they keep doing that!

Re: Adelaide Footy League Division 1 - 2017

Huh?

Your previous comment seemed to be having a go at the Tribunal for the 5 game suspension given to the Salisbury North player. If that's what you were implying, you were way off the mark, they got it spot on.

I'm confused... Drainer was the last red card SN had. I thought that got overturned as SN were appealing. My mistake.

Did not know they were appealing the Drainer decision, that will be interesting! Video was pretty damning what I saw, so don't fancy their chances.

Heard he had his suspension reduced tonight from 5 matches to 4? That was a waste of everyone's time tonight then. Under the Leagues rulings and guidelines with the actual report, he had to get 4 or 5 games, so appeals tribunal had only two options, keep at 5 games or reduce to 4, looks like they took the latter option.

Re: Grade Cricket

Grade cricket draw for this season on My Cricket now. Had quick look and noticed couple of things:

1. Looks like the One Day comp is over 4 matches (first two as part of 2 day comp, then two other matches on Sundays).
2. 20/20 comp has top 8 like the One day comp, instead of top 4.
3. Draw been moved around all over the place, not moved forward two weeks like normal.
4. Playing on Dec 23rd which is close to Xmas Day.
5. Interesting the final round is a 2 day game, thought they always finished with 1 day game so teams could not set up fake outright wins to make finals, don't like this one at all!

No clash with Premier League which winds up Oct 8 the week before season starts which is good.

Re: Grade Cricket

Is Spencer Johnson injured @Eagles2014? Saw he played a one dayer for SA, but haven’t seen his name since.

Yes, has not bowled since that one game he did play. Stress fracture in foot. Hoping to play after Xmas. With Trent Kelly retiring, placed a lot of pressure on Renshaw and Williams, last year our strength was the four fast bowlers, teams could not make 200 against us. If we can win one or two of the next three games before Xmas, could still be sitting ok with Spencer to return in January. Not playing last week against Sturt after making 380 was pretty costly.

Re: Grade Cricket

Trouble in paradise with a North Eastern based club, choice between coach or captain #-O

Love these cryptic clues!!

Northerns the obvious answer with all the Cosgrove rumours lately.

Potentially Luke Robins at East Torrens? He wants to open the batting but has not made a run there all year, much better suited down order where he can use his strengths of his big hitting.
Who is Northern Districts' coach?

Matthew Wright. Think he helped coach State Under 15 or 17's?

Apparently Joe Gatting was appointed coach and offered $30k, then he could not get thru Customs and only way he could get in country was to not earn any money from cricket.

TTG being watched like hawks if they give him any money apparently.

Yep, started off slowly but built up to be interesting finish. Once Ben got lucky with the final twist and having the chance to survive winning the fire challenge, I thought he would beat Chrissy 5-3.

Yes, young keeper from the B's, Eric Carrington. He was keeper in the State 15's last year. Don't think he can make it as a keeper, why when Drennan went home to QLD we went with Fisher, but he keeps making runs so deserves his opportunity.

Two seasons ago when we could not make finals, we gave couple of kids a go who were not ready, one was Bailey Capel. The experience just helps feel more comfortable next year, hopefully Eric can follow Bailey's path next year.

E2014 not to far off the mark usually.

Would be interesting if he has as they have some young quality players coming through and depth in 2nd Grade. Won 20/20 final and in semi finals of first grade. What is the point of developing players and then recruiting and not playing them :-?


Cmon Hound your better than that :D

Not far off the mark? he is never close

I don't profess to know who Sounda has approached - and Eagles wont likely say as he hides behind a keyboard.

But as far a young fella's, they need to belt the door down to get a go or wait for an opportunity. A grade games are a privilege not a right!

I don't know why you keep saying "keyboard warrior", everyone on here says things, I am not hiding behind anything. I have contacts (high up in most Clubs) at all Grade Clubs, you are constantly told things. I never post anything that is not fact, and stand by it all.

Have you or Bulls Forever actually spoken to Sleepy, sounds like that's a No! I don't mind naming names if you want, seeing he openly has to anyone who listens.

He wants a keeper as Davey does not want to keep or may retire. He has agreed to terms with East Torrens A Grade player for next season (Alex Anderson).

He has approached our opening batsmen (second year in a row), he definitely is persistent.

Another two fast bowlers been asked where they sit, Oakley won't be there as not happy with how he has been treated, reckons he should be playing A Grade more regularly, did get 4 wickets last game too.

This is why parents of a couple of good juniors are annoyed at TTG, instead of giving them a go, (they may be guns!!), would rather top up 1st Grade with players from other Clubs.

Pipe down matey, your continual digs at TTG are getting boring and starting to carry zero substance. Concentrate a bit more on your own club champ or Grade cricket news and facts.

Sorry LM, but I respect most people at TTG greatly, what they have achieved over the last decade is remarkable, players like Davey, Weaver, Evans x2, Somerfield, etc have had great careers.

And the Dads of guys like Weaver, Davey and Evans are awesome blokes who are great to talk cricket to.

I read back over what I posted to see if you had a point, and have been critical of three things which I stick by:

1. Joe Gatting and ball tampering - absolute fact and stick by this, if you want to have him good luck to you, the other 12 Clubs would not.
2. Not giving Juniors a go and topping up 1st Grade with players from other Clubs - same, stick by this statement.
3. One premiership in Two day comp over last ten years with this Squad is below a pass mark, must win this year to change that.

Having said that, would you rather be TTG than most other Clubs over last ten years and the answer would have to be Yes!

Shame really, as thought last year they may pinch the flag with their great young list with all local talent.

Nobes been replaced as captain before the season even starts! Had get together with 1st Grade group and he got a bit intoxicated and said lots of inappropriate stuff. Gone from captain to not playing this year, having a "year off".

Valente going to Port, good mates with Benton, plus good coin, was not enjoying himself at Adelaide last couple of years. Massive loss.

Reardon given up too, means Raph has to keep, plus he has taken back the captaincy which he wanted to give up as has young family now.

Payne gone to Adelaide Turf.

Rumour Glenelg confident of getting Cormack, this may now change with Nobes gone.

Re: Adelaide Footy League Division 6 - 2018

I see a complaint has been made to police. Chanel 9 coincidentally at the Gawler Police Station ay the same time. Makes it very difficult for Jones to defend himself when the first thing police will be doing is seizing a copy of any notes made at the tribunal. In my view the league should suspend him indefinitely pending the completion of the police investigation and prosecution. Not fair to expect him to incriminate himself at the tribunal.

When this morning, on Roo and Ditts, he stated he didn't feel the need to take it any further.

Whilst he's well within his rights to take it further, the way he's gone about it just proves he's an attention seeker now.

If they suspend the tribunal indefinitely, it means that Salisbury West would be able to take further part in the finals series.

Fc, that’s the 2nd crack I’ve seen you have at this individual. The poor bloke has had his jaw
Smashed and probably has several highs and lows with everything going on. Whilst I don’t know the bloke, he is the actual victim here and some
Empathy probably needs to be thrown his way. With the AAA rating, and with their track record, one game is enough to put the side out for the rest of the year. Or, he can have 8 games for the other incidents and this particular incident can be suspended til further investigation.

Totally agree Easy Tiga, any digs at the "victim" here are totally unwarranted, would be doing the same thing probably if in same boat. The Salisbury West player and Club deserve all the negative publicity they are getting!

Re: AFL Finals

Think Hawks are probably the worst team in the 8, they did extremely well to finish top 4, but out in straight sets for sure.

Geelong have had an absolute ride this quarter from umps. Demons should have been 8 goals up!

Seriously Marbles, you are better than that surely!

Top two get two home finals, so in Perth.

Re: Preliminary Final teams.

For those that follow closer than me, what is different about North Adelaide for tomorrow's game to the training run the Eagles had at Prospect Oval about a month back?
They have a more similar team to the North that had a training run at Woodville earlier in the year.
Fine weather suits the cocks though so they'd be hoping for the sun to come out.
Shit weather would suit the Eagles shit game plan so they'll be doing a rain dance or two.
Adelaide Oval suits North too. Sturt made us look ordinary at Prospect but we all know what happened last Sunday.

Also heard Josh Carr had followed the successful training used by John Cahill, and then Roy Laird, where they absolutely hammer the team on the track for four weeks, then freshen them up leading into finals.

This would make sense and coincide with their return to early season form lately. Master stroke if works, think they may get up in a close one tomorrow and set up an exciting GF.

Re: Preliminary Final teams.

For 115 minutes when it was 18 vs 18, Eagles 95 to North 92.
For 5 minutes when it was 19 vs 18, North 8 to Eagles 0.

The only solution that sits right with me, is a full replay next Sunday.

As Wedgetail said, if North win the GF it will have an asterisk next to its name.

If Eagles win the GF after this, it will also have an asterisk next to its name.

Norwood probably should they way they fit all these gun players under the salary cap too!!

SANFL may as well just finish the year up now and not bother playing the GF!

Re: AFL Finals Week 3 - The Prelims

Similar score to SANFL Prelim last week.

Suggest Richmond put a 19th man on to get some momentum!

Re: 2018 Grand Final - Norwood v North Adelaide

Never EVER give the loser the medal. Ever.
Isn't the Jack Oatey Medal for the best player in the Grand Final?

Nothing in the prerequisites that says he has to be from the winning side.

Absolutely HANDS DOWN no doubt that Mitch Grigg was the CLEAR best player on the ground.

I would normally agree with Booney with this comment, absolutely hate the medal being given to player from losing team.

HOWEVER, have to agree with Big Phil, there was no option in this case as Mitch Grigg was far and away the best player on the ground, there is not one player from North I can think of you could have given it too, just a great team performance.

Yeah, love when he gets interviewed too, such a level headed bloke for someone so talented.
He doesn't talk like a robot or a meathead either.


Agree, Fyfe is awesome in the media.

And how awesome was that vision of Stynes and Gawn, brilliant stuff.

Re: BROWNLOW 2019

How bad was Daisy’s question to Steele Sidebottom “Do you think WCE should tag you” **** me what kind of answer was she expecting!? I can't stand Daisy Pearce, terrible interviewer and while I love Sidebottom as a footballer f**k me he is boring.

Reckon Tom Mitchell just as boring, won't be an entertaining acceptance speech!

Even Clarko falling asleep during his speech!

Re: Australian Domestic Season 2018-19

Pope gets his 7th

Qld 231, lets hope we dont have a tardy start here

Pope just killed off Zampa's shield career for a while. He just does not take enough wickets in four day cricket. Pope is a wicket taker, he has always been bit more expensive, but the positives out weigh the negatives for sure.

Only a 39 run last wicket partnership this time, not too bad for us!

Be only one down at Stumps and would have been a good day, be 5 down and will end up losing the match!
