Hook, line and sinker......go away

There`s a thought you could go fishing saturday arvo`s in september....

[Sass!]

I hear a whisper that Athelstone are having some real internal problems this year? Carr apparently called a meeting with all his players to try and iron out the main issues. Someone should let him know he needs to look no further than a mirror from all reports.

[tinginthewater]

Tinginthewater you are wrong again. No news on Ocker leaving. Not saying it couldn't happen down the track but knowing Ock as well as i do nothing happening at this stage. Try again.

Thanks for clarifying that.
Im lookin for a coaching job.

Boozehound, you complained about the umpires when you had a draw, and complained about the umpires when you had a loss. Are you still going to have a whinge when you have a win this week?

Welcome to the forum Feverman.......

I will complain about umpires win, lose or draw when they are blatantly terrible (I won't go as far to say "cheats"). I would like to hear what the PHOS players/supporters thought of it because I would even go as far to say that they themselves would admit we got a rough deal. Further to that the Payneham guys also agreed the umpiring was awful. Is that ok with you???????

The umpires are no more or less pedantic than they have been for the last couple of years. The free kick of the day seemed to be head high and they paid it alot and both ways.
I am not certain you guys do yourselves any favours. Yes the captain can talk to the umpires but there is a way of doing it.

If you keep kicking the dog one day it will turn around and bite.

Umpires will pay free kicks against you if you abuse them all day. I was amazed at the number of 25's paid early but then seeing the display at half time when they were walking off I could see why. The umps were tough on high tackles on both sides. The difference was you guys complained and then the umps gave us a 25. I think you guys will be around the mark, Wilson very dangerous in the forward 50 and Shaun Gatto gets plenty of the ball. Will you be playing this week Booze after sustaining a broken arm in the last 1/4?

Ha broken finger but nothing some tape wont fix...

Yeah I agree to some extent however we cop in week in week out and the boys have had enough. You have to admit your blokes got a good run from the first bounce?

I think you guys will be right there too. PNU will be interesting. They play an in and under style of play with a lot of quick handball from inside. Lots of handball and run. You guys are quite skilful and bring the ball back into the middle really well. blokes seem to work hard for eachother and create space, particularly around centre half forward and deeper.

What a start to the season for Payenham, they are on fire at present.
Not known to get too many wins onboard early in the year but things have changed in 09 & i think they'll give it a shake this year.
Gave Flinders Pk not a chance in hell of getting within 10 goals of Uni, as the Naked Gun says it must of been wet!
No surprise in Athelstone beating Kilburn although Athelstone might think they should of won by alot more.
Eastern Pk are cruising along at present but wouldn't want to get any injuries as i don't like their depth.
Seaton well whats going on, i know they have a young side but the talk around there early in the year ( once again ) was for a big year well i must say they proved today they will struggle in Div 2 & unfortunately for them i never tipped them in my top5.

[Jimmy_041]

I went to PNU

They were dominant in the 1st half then slacked off in the 3rd to go behind.

Back to basics in the 4th and won

I'm nicknaming Jolly - the Big Dont Argue

Best players for PHOS - Fulwood - BOG by a mile, then Rowe

[NO-MERCY]

5\5 for you jimmy.

Interesting you gave it to the young feller (yes he is young
still under 23) I would have given it to Marty Wilson (2) kept us in it club rewarded Josh Martin (first game had an impact).

Is Fullwood under 23?

I got there at 1/4 time and went mainly to watch the PNU players and how they compared to the last 3 seasons. I haven't seen PHOS play for a long time and its always hard to pick players out when you've never seen them before. Fulwood was everywhere. I was standing with a couple of PNU mates and we all commented on his game. He was electric.

I'm not always right...........

[turbo182]

Ha, Pink Floyd Fulwood is only 20 - been losing his hair since he was 16.

Interesting last year, he really struggled to get much game time, spent a lot of tiem on the bench. He's fit as hell though and didn't seem to do a lot wrong but appears hes been given a lot more of a chance to impress this year and repaid the PHOS coaching staff with some pretty impressive performances.

Kind of bloke you'd hate to be manned up on - gut running, second efforts, determined prick!

Good bloke too.

[Jimmy_041]

I see he didn't get in the best players in the SM - shows you how much I know

Must of been the long blonde locks that caught my eye..........

[bandar]

He played well and has been good all year I hope the state selector noticed.

[Footy Chick]

Is it true Boozehound missed a sitter from the goalsquare yesterday?

Booze?
