SAAFL Div 2 & 2R (2009)

[NO-MERCY]

Havn't given up at all, Seaton proved today what they are capable of, their only problem is sustaining it week in week out.
The more experienced ( Eastern Pk ) were cooler under pressure in the dying minutes of the game against a young Seaton side & i'll take my hat off to Seaton they had a fair dinkum crack & they can hold their heads up.
If Seaton can sustain that same intensity over 4 qtrs against Athelstone & Flinders Pk theres no reason why they can't win both games & if they can do that their reliance on other teams ( Pembroke ) to lose don't come into it.

A quote from 23rd May that I couldn't help myself to bring up again....

Saw the first half of athelstone and Broadview, great half of footy I saw, lots of pressure all over the ground, Broadies missed 6 set shots in the 1st quarter, probably should have kicked 5 of them, Athelstones run off their half back line was sensational, from what I saw in 1 half of footy the better side on the day won

We kicked 3-10 to 2-1 in the second quarter. Could have iced the game by half time if we had kicked straight. Umpiring was terrible for both sides, have to say that i thought the Athelstone were pretty dirty, a lot of cheap shots thrown around the ground, umpires saw a couple from what i could tell but just warnings given. By the end of the game our boys were giving as good as they were receiving. Umpires had lost control. Our bad kicking cost us the game, would like to think that the return trip at our ground will be a big turn around.

Sorry Shirtfront, wasn't to be...

And the umpiring was pretty ordinary again. Were we dirty this time too?

Nothing would make me happier than that mob from pembroke going down.

Nup got a good job and just got two new bikes so like I said nothing would make me happier. Unless Elle Mc Pherson wants to come and cook me breakfast and wash my bike nude. Now that would make me happier

[boozehound]

Boozehound should be happy with himself. Has caused a club to get relegated today with one kick.

Diving for free kicks, sucking out the back of the play and kicking unwarranted goals. Unbelievable acting performance. 4 goals from the fat forward pocket. He has phoned everyone and sent text messages to Ireland and everyone he knows to tell them how he won the game. Like a scene from Deliverance watching Eastern Park play and Boozehound being the star of the day

Harsh but fair...lol. Nah Seaton came to play and really served it up. alot of upside with the kids and hopefully they stay up cos they have a future in div 2. Pretty harsh, im not so fat anymore and only one of my goals came from being out the back. this will happen when your opponent wants to play off you and stand a few metres in front. anyway, hope seaton stay up

[NO-MERCY]

The umpiring hasn't changed much over the years in the As, still inconsistant & over umpired.
When are they gonna learn this games not about them so i say to them stop trying so hard to stand out over & above the game itself.
One thing the League must look at quickly is the umpires that are supplied from each club to take control of the B grade matches each week, i know we are down on numbers as far as SAAFL umpires are concerned but some of these performers are nothing but 'CHEATS".
I witnessed first hand Saturday at Seaton oval the diabollicle display put on by the away sides umpire, he was nothing short of disgraceful, how anyone can get away with what he does week in week out is beyond me, his performance the last time these sides played was exactly the same & no doubt he got the result he set out to achieve for his side but on the weekend he didn't get the result he wanted & ended up with egg on his face but gee he tried so hard once again to favour his side.
The League must react quickly on this as its tarnishing our great game, its not hard to be fair & consistant with your decision making but as far as i'm concerned these "CHEATS" need to be dealt with harshly or real sh!ts going to hit the fan one day at a game.

[gottabekiddin]

bit harsh there Mercy - thought he was a cracker

[Jimmy_041]

Seeing where they are, looks like he's not doing as good a job as he needs to.

There was another team about 5 years ago, with the same type of umpire - they always played finals and won a lot of medals

But no premiership - always went straight out -whinged about the umpires every finals game.

There is a football God

[footy_pie]

I see Dom Santillo is playing in the A grade - congrats to him ... interesting that a bloke that's been a seasoned B and C grade player for the club for 3 or 4 years is finally getting an A grade berth though...

All credit should go to Dom, he worked pretty hard over the preseason to get him self in decent shape. I think his days in the C grade are well and truely over.

I'm hoping somebody videoed his performance so i can enter him into funniest home video's.
He was that bad he was a cracker!

That's great for him! Not sure the C grade coach would be too happy with that call though

Gee, the gang's all here tonight....

was playing C grade in round 6 or 7.Work ethic and attitude have been the catalyst for his metioric rise.The young boy known as..."the fat chick thriller" will only get better and better over the next 2-3 years.He was best Team Man in the C grade last year and is a real asset to the club.

Spot on Mercy this bloke is the biggest crook going around, blatantly tried to influence the result of the game by some very biased decisions cant believe the hound has been bleating about the level of umpiring and his bloke is as bad as anyone. Just on the A's cant believe the hound was put in the best players, was stitched up comfortably all day, kicked 4 very cheap goals but was comprehensively beaten, dragged 3 times.

[boozehound]

Very true, Was comfortably beaten by "big" Burton....

Lucky enough though....right place, right time and lucky enough to put the Rams in the box seat for relegation.....

We kicked 3-10 to 2-1 in the second quarter. Could have iced the game by half time if we had kicked straight. Umpiring was terrible for both sides, have to say that i thought the Athelstone were pretty dirty, a lot of cheap shots thrown around the ground, umpires saw a couple from what i could tell but just warnings given. By the end of the game our boys were giving as good as they were receiving. Umpires had lost control. Our bad kicking cost us the game, would like to think that the return trip at our ground will be a big turn around.

Sorry Shirtfront, wasn't to be...

And the umpiring was pretty ordinary again. Were we dirty this time too?

Beaten on the day. Umpiring hasn't got any better but not the difference. No excuses, boys had the chance to hold on but didn't have the nerve. Must say though, thought the carry on after the game was a bit much, the whole bench and supporters rushing the ground??? Fair to say that Carry didn't display the best example of a gracious wining coach with an up yours signal to our bench, thought that was a bit ordinary. Hopefully you blokes don't make the finals, seem to have the wood on us.

Always leads to a good game next time round....just ask Gaza

Carry, now there's a classy bloke, one of the most awesome motivators I have ever heard - as long as you're supposed to be hitting someone behind the play. Best boxer I have seen toe to toe as well - when he's hitting you in the back of the head.
