interesting comments by gg coach mitchell on 5rph this morning. got a few outs evidently tomorrow, seemed a little hesitant to talk up the kookburra's chances against the visitors. i reckon rosies will bring the 'don't argue' out to harpers field tomorrow.

a bit of rain could make for a few tight tussles.

[mighty hounds]

Just to change the subject....Heres my tips for the week


Greenacres v Plympton - greenies in a close one 15 pts
Blackfriars OS v Central United - Blacks easily...hopefully 60 pts
Kenilworth v Ingle Farm - kenilworth 30 pts
Smithfield v Elizabeth - elizabeth as a smokey 20 pts
Golden Grove v Rosewater - Draw

I used to like you Go the Units.

Did you have to turn your radio down, gee that man talks loud. You never know what you're going to get when you play Rosies, it's always going to be a hard game.

Players get a $25 card with each win from the NAFC part of the club. If they win 15 games that works out to be a touch under $8k. I'm sure there's more. To argue that you'd let another club takeover your football club to build a pokie palace and receive nothing in return is ludicrous.

I can advise that the NAFC has an application pending with the PAE council to build a set of clubrooms on the lower oval on Grand Junction Rd to accomodate Greenacres footy club. They urgently want to do this because when there is footy on the top oval, the Pokie patrons stay away for various reasons, no parking available being one of them.
North Adelaide would love this to happen in a big hurry

This has actually been on the cards for some time CC, with the current rooms on the lower oval being demolished for 2 new changerooms (hopefully with more room for visitors than the changerooms in the main building , canteen, storeroom etc..

[Footy Smart]

Will Scudds play this week saw him at the pub training last night so i would suggest no!!!

Also what developments have been made in the funding issue at GG? After reading the article in the footy budget i couldnt help but see that it took until 2007 to gain funding yet you have been around since 1995. Why was the wait so long for funding and infact to get a perminant structure at Harpers field? I would have thought a fair chunk of a loan could have been paid off in that 10 years or so as the club success has been good and a solid junior structure(18 teams) developed from scratch with nothing.

[The Big Shrek]

And Shrek..read my post and comment about what I said....not what you thought I was trying to say..glass houses and all that

Not sure what you mean? I just said you must get some financial benifit out of NAFC. Why the glass houses comment?

FC, their first application was knocked back, not sure why but I think a bit of resistance came from the locals regarding the old chestnut, parking in the streets. I do know that NAFC do not want them using the top oval at all, they tolerate it but don't like it one bit! Don't be surprised if that does'nt disappear in due course.

Another bit of info I can give is that the NAFC are very flushed with money. They offered another club close by $1 million to buy the TAB facility from that neighbour, payable at $100K per year over 10 years.
Guess what, the neighbour did what all good business people do, told them they were not interested 'cause you don't sell off your assets, a smart move by the men at the top.

I actually like the bottom oval better anyway.. at the end of the day, the Greenacres FC still hold the lease I think and NAFC are subletting off them, so who gives a crap what they like and don't like anyway...

Correct me if Im wrong but I'm thinking the neighbour couldn't afford to sell it anyway. How else they gonna pay for their extreme makeover?

[Sponge Bob]

Why would you sell one of your greatest drawcards to get people through the doors??

If they want any makeovers, there are plenty more avenues for that to be financed. Incidentally, the last makeover is well and truly paid for.

Correct forgot about that....

still 4 years is a long time and as a lot of clubs have got a loan asap and paid it off from over the bar etc. GG seem to have that membership base that it could easily pay off a loan, I personally think that GG could be in a much better position if they did it themselves...... none of this is having ago by the way just curious!

Hope your right except for Smithies. Nothing against Smithfield but that will put us a game clear of them if we win
