SAAFL Div 1 & 1R (2009)

[interested observer]

Gepps Cross 11.6 Pt Dist 7.9
Gepps jumped Dist early 5.3 to 0.1pt in the first yet was outscored by Dist the remainder of the game.
Gepps were alot cleaner with their use of the footy in terrible conditions but both sides never gave up, i was thinking the conditions would suit Dist which they did but Gepps surprised me with a few of their big fella's controlling the ball in the air like it was a dry day ( Collins, Taylor ) Taylor controlled the back half & Collins the fwd half as far as the bigs are concerned but i was impressed with no24 Campbell who racked up numerous possesions & most importantly used them effectively.
Well done to Jason Roe there was alot of pressure on him today but he handled it well to take them one step closer.

Well done to Ricky Pearce on his 1st year coaching the As, a great effort getting Pt Dist in the finals for the first time in 10 years in A1.

NM, in the appalling weather the game was a credit to both sides. Noone could expect too much skill to be on show but both sides showed they were worthy of playing finals. I thought Roey learnt from the previous loss that if you can negate Alfy Steed you cut out a lot of Districts opportunities, Gavin Rose did this job very well and Steedy was ineffective all day.
Kane Officer, who signed on again for next season an hour before the match, was outstanding in defence along with Josh Taylor and Scott Klenner. The first quarter belonged to the Campbell brothers,Stengle, Collins and Hudson and David Savage again showed his extra efforts are up with the best. A great lead up into next week when hopefully the weather doesn't have the same influence as it did yesterday.
Congrats to Rick Pearce,he copped some stick early in the season but shut a few people up, however, we had to give him a bit as well last night as after he had a few beers with us, he went back to his car to find the battery was flat ' cause he'd left his lights on. We got him going but he left feeling a bit like the world had turned 'dark' on him, hopefully it hasn't.

Mind was on the game ahead then ??

Counting his sign on fee

[dotmar]

You would be giving him what ever he wants to keep him. The guy was sensational on saturday!!!

Have many committed for next season Ace? Or was Officer a must keep??

Think you might want to change your name either to "backward", "monkey" or "clown", they're all quite appropriate in this instance!
Jealousy does strange things to some people, normally the ones who have problems coping with life in general

Kane Officer would rate as a "must keep" in any club, has been fantastic all season on and off field.
Quite a few others including C McLean, B Hudson, the Campbells, J Taylor and some more tomorrow night.

Tuesday night;
Big Jimmy, Coxy, Blakey, Capper, Clark boys, Rosey all clocked on last night for next year as well.

Yes it must have been with the game he played, was almost impassable. Sheer Class!

Prob could be its own thread in the coming weeks about coaches outgoing and incoming but Salis Nth are now looking for someone to fill the Senior coaching role after Jamie decided to step down from the role. An absolute champion bloke and clubman, thanks for your service.

Winger, anything in the rumours he may resurface in the BL&GFL?

i would put my house on it that he will not coach anywhere else. part of the decision is family but i do know he will continue with the State U23s.

Two good games of football this weekend.

In the main game i think Henley might just have the wood over goodwood. Henley to win by 18pts.

Gepps Cross to get the job done against TTG. Although i think it all ends here for either of these two teams. People's thoughts???
