I see Andy Carr has been playing for Mawsons. He was by far the best of the 3 brothers and noticed Justin Carr cleared to play their but hasn't played a game yet. They generally are a family package including mum and dad.
Mawsons have been widely regarded as a bottom 2 side this year given the outs, but looking on paper they still have quite a formidable side..

Not a bad core group.. I think they may upset TOS..

Are they going to tease them?

Interesting ladder so far, Brahma obviously lower than most would've thought and Fitzroy are off to a fair start.

Trinity...................61.9 6 (3) SM(a), WC(a), IF(h)
Smithfield.............59.5 6 (3) TOS(h), CU(a), WC(h)
Lockleys................58 6 (4) CU(a), FITZ(h), BYE
Fitzroy...................52.7 6 (4) BL(h), LOCK(a), CU(h)
Ingle Farm.............49.7 4 (4) BYE, ML(h), TOS(a)
West Croydon......52.9 2 (3) ML(a), TOS(h), SM(a)
Brahma Lodge.....44.1 2 (4) FITZ(a), BYE, ML(a)
Mawson Lakes.....40.5 0 (3) WC(h), IF(a), BL(h)
Central United.....37.7 0 (4) LOCK(h), SM(h), FITZ(a)

Judgement time for the TOSSERS is approaching with 2 tough road trips, they've not put a foot wrong yet and you can only beat who your put up against.
Same with Smithfield to some degree, a last quarter fade out suggests their fitness may be a concern.
Lockleys travel out north again to take on bottom side Central United before hosting the Roys where you'd be tipping 2 wins before their bye.
Fitzroy will get a good gauge of where they are at this week, a huge game for them at Mount Fitzroy against the Lodge who will be on a mission now with a new coach and some ground to make up.
The Farmers will temporarily drop out the 5 this week but should be able regain their spot the following week before heading into a huge match against Trinity.
West Croydon would be ruing their loss to Fitzroy, they host Mawson's this week then have 2 tough road trips, for mine they are locked in a 4-way battle for the last two remaining spots in the 5.
The Lodge have 2 winnable games either side of the bye, this chould bring their ledger to a 3-2 record and start gaining some momentum as they prepare for a tough mid season.
The Lakes and the Units have failed to record wins at this stage despite both being very competitive, unfortunately they have to wait until round 9 to meet and get some points on the board although the Lakes are capable of a win in the next 3 games with 2 gat home and one around the corner.

Today is STAR WARS day.

May the 4th be with you.

Hodges incident worse than Lewis?
I officially have no idea about anything.

You,me and 99% of the football world mate.

i dunno - using elbows means it is immediately an intentional conduct thing. thats different to being extremely late and careless in a spoil

Hodge, IMO, probably meant to get Swallow in the chest area, he just threw it too high. If Hodge had got him in the chest, like we see dozens of times a game, maybe a free kick at most.

Lewis, IMO, was late, with a swinging arm, high, to a player eyes on the ball, much worse.

Lewis's one was so late that it was marked down in round 6.

You should try to time it so that you make the 10,000th post to announce Norwood kicking the winning goal!
Been a few inductees since this was last posted in, Jim05 would have to have one of the most aggressive PPD rates I've ever encountered.

I have seen this happened outside the NT Cricket Association offices in Alice Springs

I've seen it happen in a supermarket in Alice. Right in front of the milk section. I was duty manager and had to find a staff member willing to clean it up!
It's always the way, staff always willing to help you out, but the minute someone takes a dump on the floor they're nowhere to be found.

The fashion police at work:
A dude wears a really dark blue vest one day and now whenever he leaves his desk someone jumps on his laptop and emails out to everyone asking who needs cab rides over the weekends.
Another wears a red and white checkered shirt occasionally and gets bombarded with pizza orders.
One fella ducked into work to pick something up on his way to the gym and now gets lady fernwood and curves pamphlets plastered all over his walls.

The list goes on and on, I don't veer from the standard company supplied attire.

It's very funny though, everyone has gone to an op shop and bought the ugliest vest they could find so next time the vest comes out we're all going to put our own on for the day. He'll end up going home, he gets the sulks on sometimes and just goes home for the day.

I like to watch things bounce.

fisho mcspaz wrote:Is it just me, or is it disrespectful to sing your club song out on the opposition's oval? Not impressed, Angle Vale.

I have no problem with where people sing the song, it has nothing to do with respect IMO.

Come in you can't raise it on a public forum then get upset when people comment on it.

The point Trader makes is still valid - it's MP's **** up, no one else is to blame... To blame poor umpiring for the send off then blame the opposition for being unsportsmanlike calling for a count is poor form. Were you there? Was Trader there? If not, you're both dribbling shit and I'll call you out on it. Sorry.

I'm a reasonably rational person and give credit and fault where it's due. Angle Vale were shit **** yesterday. On many fronts. If it was just the count, or just the warm up rudeness, or just the song on the oval, or just their shit umpire, or just this or just that, in isolation, which is all any of you are looking at this as, then yeah, play on. But it's the overall weight of all them combined which mixes together to form a clubs reputation.

There are good people at Angle Vale, there are at all clubs, but if they want this black ducks respect, which might mean absolutely nothing to them, then they have a long way to go in regards to how they act and behave on gameday.

I'll leave it at that.
Maybe you should give opposition teams a memo when they travel to Mitchell Park advising them what end they can warm up at and that singing on the oval is prohibited, I was unaware of either of them being a taboo.

Freaky results in the APFL and AFL today. Huge wins for HWE and Virginia.
I heard that HWE were all over two wells on the small oval to their credit. Sometimes it's not a bad thing for a team that's seemingly nominated as "the best in the competition" to lose a game in my opinion.
It's great for the competition, any of the top 6 can beat anyone on their day.

Booney wrote:60,000 members

Who, Traci Lords?

Elizabeth certainly lived up to their reputation yesterday. Dishing out plenty of cheap/weak shots and off the ball hits. Good to see thugs don't win footy matches!
Reputation? I must've played against Elizabeth at least 20 times in my career and they definitely don't fit into that category, I would think even less likely to with Payney at the helm.
I guess they could add Lutheran to their name and get a free ride each week.

Smashed em.

Well done to Smithfield on the weekend harder at the footy and easily won three quaters of football which set them up for an easy win.

Always good having a few jugs after the game that the club put on for us.

The Trinity lads now know what the top team is capable of and reliase they is much more work to be done to be on top.

Thanks BP it was a ripping contest all day and just possibly our home ground advantage allowed us to kick away towards the end. Certainly looking forward to meeting your boys on your home turf and we are certainly gonna see you come finals time cheers

I hear the farmers are having another week off.
Because of the rain?

Shut down a sides 2 key forwards and they lack fire power? Ground breaking stuff that..

Cotter has kicked 6 and 5, in games where Trinity have kicked 19 and 11 respectively.. Zorich has added 1 and 2 in those games.. So they have kicked 7 of 19 and 7 of 11, hardly no other avenues to goal type situation
Good sides generally have more than avenue to goal.. for instance Smithfield have Grogan, Ashby, Webber(had), Moss, Lane, Nisbet (when goes up) all capable of kicking a bag of goals.

Mawson Lakes on the flip side have probably Matt Ralph as the only target up forward.
You forgot Mathews, I have his number on my dufflecoat.

Long Plains is the best oval I've come across in my footballing years.

Soooo...you're the semen expert, FC.
Brilliant.
You know that's going to get some good use.

hardly an expert - I'm sure others here with more experience than me.

Im not going to call myself an expert, however when I was at Uni I would work weekends and holidays at SABOR near Clare. This is a place that doesn't collect Bull Semen however it does collect Pig Semen. My job during "collection" time was to bring in the boars from a list of pre-orders (each pig had a number) and take them into the "collection" room. I would then get the next one on the list and put it in a holding pen next to the room and wait for the Boar to finish* and take it back and repeat the cycle. There were 2 collection rooms so it was reasonably busy.

Basically, they had a plastic Sow which the Boar would mount and there would be another guy in the room who would help the Boar shoot it into a filtered container. The guy had to grab the pig dick and squeeze tight for about 10 minutes until the pig had finished. If anyone has seen a pig dick you would know that it is kind of like a screw*. Apparently a trick to make it more comfortable was to use your left hand as the dick was "left hand thread". I was asked if I wanted to give this a try which I refused. I was happy just transporting the pigs to and from their pens.

There were about 150 Boars at this place, however some were used more than others, depending on the farmers preference and bloodlines etc.

On weekends all I had to do was clean out their pens each day. Would take around 4 or 5 hours each day and could do it at whatever time I wanted to as long as it got done. So Saturdays I would do it first thing and on Sundays whenever I felt like it. For the weekend work I got $41 an hour to clean shit which in 2001 for a Uni student was and probably still is pretty good coin.

Were there magazines there with pictures of naked pigs in them too?

Not looking for a hard luck story, individuals that mess up need to be held accountable. Just think the club has handle the situation very well once again.
Yep, it's a shame that no matter what clubs do to try and keep out of trouble the occasional brain fart comes from nowhere to tarnish the good work. It takes years of no infringements to lose a negative tag but it takes one isolated incident for all the haters to jump on board and run with it.

Lets just leave it there hey fella's?

Any excuse will do

:lol:

An interesting stat- we have been outscored 34 goals to 58 in 2nd halves so far this season.

This isn't an excuse, its fact. Have we tempted fate with playing underdone players, which has backfired massively? or is this fitness myth complete bollocks, as we are not working anywhere near hard enough, which brings me to my next point:

Anyone else believe that the inclusion of an extra tall in Ryder, rather than being the missing link, is a massive hindrance?

We are obviously short a midfield rotation as a result (which would explain the lack in workrate from our midfield), not to mention Westhoff, who has gone from the best swingman in the comp, to looking completely at sea.
Excuses and reasons are poles apart.
There's something missing and there's plenty of passengers going along for the free ride.

ROUND 6 RESULTS

K'nB 1767 def. Frosty 1718

Well, what a round, it seemed like it must've snowed at some venues as no was able to crack the 2000 mark and there were some personal worsts amongst them.
What made it even more bizarre was the fact that 6 out of the 8 matches resulted in the underdog getting up, Sportsbet had a meltdown with some of their multi's.
TED's despite posting a forgettable score recorded a 307 point win over the Wonders who seemed to be coasting along nicely, Chelsea FC got pantsed by the bottom placed Pattonites, the Heros made light work of previously undefeated Lil Gazza and Some Cant dropped 5 places after a crushing defeat at the hands of 15th placed OKCYALATER.
Absolute carnage!!!!!!!!!

Another tough round for tipsters as the premiership table resembles a toddlers placemat and winners are harder to pick than a broken nose.
One win separates 7th to 15th and form counts for nothing so it wont surprise me to see the DUDS go down to the Pattonites who are on a streak with one win in a row.
There's a few teams within the war zone that front up against each other and hopefully we start sorting the wheat from the chaff as no one is out of the finals race yet and two teams are probably 3 wins away from securing a finals berth.
Once again, I've tipped some roughies just to make the ladder look even more complicated next week, I did tip against myself too as I can't seem to do a thing right in this comp.
I think OKC might start making some serious moves on the ladder aswell, no better confidence booster than knocking off the top side.

I reckon in some circles he gets unfairly pigeon-holed because of his Ocker speech, but if people bother to look/listen past that he offers plenty of great insight and perspective.
If there's anyone in the football cirlces that I could choose to go and have a few beers with and talk footy dribble, it would be Browny, I love listening to what he has to offer, he's got the biggest heart out of anyone that has ever graced the footy field and doesn't beat around the bush with what he's thinking.

Do football clubs need to pay for an 'APRA License for background music'?

Would have thought not-for-profit organisations would be exempt, but seems APRA are doing a sweeping target of sports clubs to raise revenue.
We do, or at least we used to, presume it still happens.

Spoke with APRA recently on playing Music along with Sponsor and Club promos, at Half Time of Home Games - a flat yearly fee of $67 was indicated, because Amateur Clubs don't charge spectators/patrons to enter the grounds. IMO Royalties to Artists, is a fair thing and $67 seemed reasonable as a yearly fee.
I'm sure Elton John would be stoked collecting his $67 from the Kenilworth Football Club.

Blighty and Andrew McLeod would be my first choices, but I think I am biased :)

Browny would definitely be up there though.

Blighty reigns supreme in my eyes, I've had the privilege of chatting with him as an avid Woodville supporter when I was a young lad.

I used to wait around after the games and he'd let me in the change rooms to chat with the players, I remember watching Andrew Taylor getting interviewed on TV while he was standing there only wearing a polo shirt, he was a very funny man.
Richard Champion was a young lad, Andrew Rogers was amongst that team and then there would be Kevin Harris and Blighty discussing the days game over a durry in the corner of the room.
Blighty was a blokes bloke.

hey hey fair assumption on the majority call :D its a tit for tat contest each week, both sides having their dip at each other. I think this week its gone way overboard.

some port friends of mine would almost rather the crows lose than port win.... no joke, they can accept a port loss aslong as AFC also lost that weekend....
I really don't get it, I guess I've never had a genuine hatred for any team and there's players from all clubs that I respect immensely. My mood is governed by if my footy team wins or loses and my favourite few players probably don't even play for Port.

I only shared it because i thought people would enjoy it. You musn't follow the Auztraylen Futbel Leeg FB page then.

didnt mean to piss you off LM
Yeah, no worries man, I've avoided FB so I didn't have to scroll through pages of that, I thought I was in my safe haven, all good.

I don't get too worked up over football mate.

Each to their own.
