The three smallest blokes on the field just fit in this image:
Number 3 sucks. Always getting the easy kicks.

His white boots started the weekend black but all the boundary line chalk has turned them white!!!

Fantastic weekend and the SD boys getting up again topped off a great week together with a great bunch of blokes!

Howd u see the weekend onsong?

Southern had too much overall strength. Eastern were killed out of the middle for most of the game, one dimensional going forward and were duly smashed on the rebound too often.

Big Sam Baulderstone did a great job early, although he makes running look difficult. Lol. Actually matched Pumpa in the air and around the ground.

Yeh big Baulders is a good unit!!! Very young also so has a bright future ahead. Haha, runs awkwardly is putting it kindly!

Was very pleased with the way our boys acquitted themselves, committed and were fierce at the contest. A great advertisement for country footy over the weekend.

With the 36 players in the state country squad the state will be well represented by the final 25 picked to go to Canberra!

More importantly, how did the Vines nightclub hold up with all those footballers in town. The locals would have been chomping at the bit!

Which locals, guys or gals??? I hear they do a bit of "chomping" up that way too!

How did you find the oval to play on mate? Was it up to scratch?

outstanding surface and clubrooms/changerooms

That's good to hear. I'm biased, but I still think it's one of the best ovals in Country SA.

[Media Park]

Big Jarden Stoetzer kicked 6 for the carnival, all in EP's last game (the alst place play-off... )

How'd he look? For mine he's probably not EP standard, but I was pretty chuffed to see Jesse kemp's name in the team of the carnival..

You obviously got the home changerooms?

You've just been proved wrong Jack. Time to troll another thread.

[boot camp]

would these championships be better played in the middle week of the School Holidays?
Were many Netball associations having the bye last weekend? as the Riverland did. The SANFL could link in with Country netball Assoc and have association games linked in?
Has this been investigated?
Plenty of accommodation in Riverland available / would think that Pirie would be the same to accomodate football and netters!!
Also, maybe be better for local clubs to have middle week of school holidays off allowing for families to go away etc.

I think that would bring the weekend a bit close to the National Country Championships (starting next week).

Good point but I think it would be better earlier in the year, particularly so it doesn't get too close to the Australian Championships every second year. The Queen's Birthday Long Weekend would be ideal, as nearly every footy league has a bye then anyway, eliminating the perennial problem of some leagues not scheduling a bye.

Good idea but that wouldn't suit the West Coast leagues. That is when Mortlock Shield is on and from what I understand that is when the EP side is selected.
