SAAFL Div 5 & 5R (2009)

Does anyone give Ingle Farm ANY hope of winning games this season or at least avoiding relegation?

[HH3]

you could be right, he did an amazing job on forthy at smithfield the first time we played

they stil got those annoying trail bikess that ride around next to smithfield oval during the games up there???

There was only one occasion in 2008 that one was in the vicinity, they used to annoy the hell out of everyone.

cool they seemed to get everyones attention away from the footy.

You think thats distracting...last season in Round 5 at Port Noarlunga a high speed chase came into the ground, the car burst a front tire coming over a dirt speed hump sending the car sliding toward the oval, overcorrected, spun up the hill, the driver got out and did a runner down to the Onkaparinga while the passenger got blocked in...about 12 cop cars and the Adelaide Bank helicopter hovering over the oval for 2 and a half quarters...until they finally dragged the guy out of the scrub...was injured that day so got to watch the whole thing...wouldve hated to be trying to play with all that going on...

Yeah, definetely, they've copped a fair bit of crap over the past couple of years, it's hard having an oval right near a creek. They certainly weren't missed in 08. The one that did come through was dealt with, he didn't return.

anyone know how HV and plymptons stocks are at this early stage.??

It would be silly to under-estimate any opponent. Just because no one is getting on here and pumping up their tyres doesn't mean they aren't worth worrying about.

Ah of course not, ive just heard plenty of people around the traps quick to bag them. I guess the only indication we will get is when the trials roll around

Not even mate, we got written off after one trial last year, it was held on Easter thursday (if there is such a thing), we were very under-manned. I think to be fair to all teams, you don't start judging till around rond 5, even then you can end up looking silly. We lost our first 6 a few years back and sat on the bottom of the table, we won 11 of the next 12 including a win over Para Hills at The Paddocks without a ruckman, they were travelling really well at that stage.

I think it will be a pretty even comp again, I think Elizabeth will be big improvers along with Kenilworth, I haven't seen hardly anything written on here about Elizabeth so far this year, that probably worries me more.

We would be flying under the radar too if wasn't the constant media reports in the Sunday Mail each week

Tell your cricket team to stop talking to Hooky on Saturdays

LM what makes you think Kenilworth will be 1 of the big improvers?? I think if Elizabeth have Ben Halliday return it will improve them 10 fold.... Honestly I reckon Plympton and prehaps Rosewater to be pace setters. Maybe Westminster could shape a few games too with a difficult home ground to visit for opponents.

Just a hunch, there seems to be a good vibe amongst you lot.

[LaughingKookaburra]

Guess we will see. Think you blokes will be up there once again. I actually reckon last year was'nt a really even year. There was daylight between the top 2 and 3rd. 3rd-6th was very even and then 7th-9th was another big drop again. 2007 was extremely even. We just have to win a few early games which is something we have really struggled to do over the past 3 years. Seem to improve mid-year but the starts are killing us.

only a handful at the cricket club would know what is going on in the Footy.


The president needs to screen his phone calls from Hooky

yeah 2007 was even. decent year for all clubs, well 5 of them as only 5 can make it!

It would be nice to see Kenilworth competative again. I wouldn't put any of my hard earned on it though. They just seem to be in a rut at the moment, not really going anywhere. That may sound a bit harsh for true kooka people, considering I haven't been down to the club lately, but I just can't see any improvement.

We had stellar games against Greenies & GG, I didn't think that they were that far ahead of the pack, Plympton were pretty handy on their day along with Elizabeth, Blackfriairs & Rosies. You guys and the Farmers had some impressive results throughout the year too, I'd call that relatively even. With 3 rounds to go there were 7 teams in with a sniff of playing finals.

Look at it this way, the Units beat you, you beat the Farmers, the Farmers beat Greenies and Greenies beat GG at various stages of the season. There weren't many weeks that you could safely pick the 5 winners and form was all over the shop. That's my take on it anyway, I am a little reserved as I never pencil a win in until the final siren sounds.

Short answer...No

Long answer...Not Really
