Cheer up grumpy bum.

Is Brian Leys gonna be playing in Henleys D Grade all year? Talk about sandbagging

Works 2-weeks-on/2-weeks-off I'm led to believe.

Their D-Grade moved like a C-Grade team, pretty slick.

As I understand it, he will be playing when Port Adelaide don't play Saturday's.
Also, I don't think it's sandbagging to have a 40-odd year old playing D grade...

Although, in saying that, there are a couple of guys, not many, that probably could and should step up to the C grade - who are struggling a bit at the moment partly due to injuries in higher grades. But at the same time, the guys who are choosing to play D's are late 30's and have young families who also require a bit of their time and attention.

On another issue, Good win by Flinders Park over Flinders Uni who have been pretty good so far this year. Park's must have a pretty strong B grade this year, as their C grade features a few players who played B's all year in 2012. Also, was interesting to see Solomon Fitzgerald named in the best for the C grade whilst also named in the A grade team sheet. Clerical error?

The henley dgrade would beat the henley cgrade lol

[Q.]

The henley dgrade would beat the henley cgrade lol

Probably true, with blokes like Leys, Tonkin, Sarai etc playing D-Grade.

Want to know if anybody has heard of a rule that stops the player who is sheparding an opposition player, from then picking up the football himself? We had a free kick paid against us because one of our players was sheparding the opposition from getting the ball so another one of our players could pick it up but when no one picked the ball up the player providing the shepard picked the ball up and automatically was given a free against. The umpire clearly said you can not pick up the ball if you are sheparding a player. I have never heard of this and would think it goes against all logic but I could be wrong.

Yes, I recall this rule applying at lunch time at Hampstead Primary when I was in Grade 6. Expect the unexpected in Div 7.

Sounds like something the AFL will trial in the NAB cup next year. Def not a rule and surely would never be a rule

Obstructing the opposition player from the ball?

A shepherd is a sheep director? I mean a shepherd obstructs the opposition from tackling the protected player from being tackled, meaning possesion of the ball is not available?

If thats a vertical example a horizontal example would be crouching over the ball and not taking possession - holding the ball in that case

Thanks Yank, but even though we have started well, there's still a long way to go and plenty of good sides to face. We need to keep improving every week and stay focused on every challenge.

When you've played 4 C grade sides and the biggest opposition is going to come from Houghton you would expect them to go well.
Still good to see them winning though.
