SAAFL Div 4 & 4R (2009)

[Push in the Back]

Good internal trial at Adel. Luth today.
Had 40+ players available which was good.
Same side as last year + some handy recruits. Play Mitcham and Pulteney in trials I've heard.
Rd. 1 at Greenacres. Beat them twice in 2007... assuming they've improved a bit$$$

I hope you had a few out Saturday mate as i am told Pulteney beat you by 20+ goals!!

To all div 4 clubs this year, if Fitzroy's B grade umpire for the year is the same bloke who did the B and C grade trials yesterday against Para Hills, beware. He will certainly keep fitzroy in the game for a long time if yesterdays performance was anything to go by.

Blackcat ,,,who won that bgame m8? I was drinkinjh with karvelis too nearly ours sat morning and he said they will give it a good shake agaainst you guys. Was the umpire a blonde headed guy, if it is the one i was thinkin about he is aonesided umpire.good luck for the year mate.

Hey Bulldog, Parahills won the B's & they are a very well drilled unit & move the ball really well off their half back line so i think they will be right up there at the business end of the season in Div 3R, we came back in the last qtr but i think they took the foot off then as it was bloody hot out there in the Two's & we have a lot of new players & we still got a little bit off work to do.

Yeah he said they looked good,is beerie stillcoaching you guys???

A Grade - Darren Beer, one of the very best coaches in SAAFL
B Grade - Scott Charlton, a club icon, fantastic bloke and will be a very good coach. Has the players wanting to play for him
C Grade - Neil Brown, very basic coaching (as a C Grade coach should be) but does it very well & gets results

For the record on Saturday's umpires Para Hills v Fitzroy....the bloke who did the C's and B's for "Fitzroy" was appointed by SAAFL, and the B Grade umpire for Para Hills did us a favour & helped out at short notice - his allegiance is actually with Pembroke.

PAC are doing a really great job of keeping the Tony Modra thing a secret.

DE What position did you play Friday night in the magoos?

He was everywhere Doggy.

Down back - played like a General

Up the front - he kicked 2 goals as well

Involved in the scuffle just before the final siren - In fact, I reckon he started it

No not the ruckman, and contrary to what Jimmy has stated I was not involved in the scuffle.
I played across halfback.

I can't seem to find who put there hand up to run the Div 4 footy tipping competition this year? I reckon it was fisty.

Any how my tips for Round 1 2009 in Bold

PAOC V CBC (2 pts, match of the round)
Pooraka V Unley (Good form in trials I expect to win here)
Fitzroy V Golden Grove 24 points
Greenacres V Adelaide Lutheran 6 goals +
North Haven V Salisbury West (I know NH have lost heaps so this could be very one sided)

Good Luck to all teams playing!

PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CROWS LEGENDS TO BATTLE AT THE PARADE ON SATURDAY 4 APRIL FROM 6PM
JOINT RELEASE FROM PAC OLD COLLEGIANS FOOTBALL CLUB INC AND CBC OLD COLLEGIANS FOOTBALL CLUB INC
31 MARCH 2009

In what will be an amazing spectacle, Mark Ricciuto is set to line up for PAC Old Collegians Football Club ("The Reds") this Saturday night at Norwood Oval against his co-premiership player and AFL Legend Darren Jarman who is the newly appointed senior coach of CBC Old Collegians Football Club ("The Dolphins"). It is also rumoured that another Adelaide Football Club Legend, and all time highest goal scorer for the Crows, Tony Modra will also be lining up for the Reds. PAC Old Collegians club President Michael Siciliano said "this will not only be a great match for our normal supporters but will attract many Crows fans and football fans generally. The game will be a truly amazing experience which is unlikely to ever be repeated"

CBC Old Collegians Football Club and the PAC Old Collegians Football Club have had a great rivalry in recent years and this year they will be playing for the "Trims/Queens Arms Hotel Shield" along with bragging rights until the next time they meet in Round 10 on 20 June at Thebarton Oval for the re-match.

CBC Old Collegians club President, Garry Winter said "Darren is extremely keen to pull the boots on for the season opener against PAC and he hasn't lost any of the Jarman magic that he carried with him throughout his illustrious career. However, team selections have been difficult already and Darren is very wary about a player missing out on selection for his inclusion." AFL Champion, Darren Jarman stated "we have been training very hard in the pre-season and the Dolphins are primed not only for the season opener but also for the season ahead." When quizzed about the possibility of him playing and even matching up against Ricciuto he said "if I do pull on the boots, Roo better watch out because I will be coming to get him! I know all his tricks because I taught him everything he knows. If Mods comes out to play, I expect it will end up being a very high scoring match". Brownlow medalist Ricciuto stated in response "I am looking forward to the game and getting back to grass roots footy. PAC are sponsored by the Alma Hotel this year and it is good to support those who support us. If Fud plays he'd better watch out and there also should be an ambulance waiting for him with defibrillators nearby."

BACKGROUND ON DARREN JARMAN AND MARK RICCIUTO
Darren Jarman has played 144 games for North Adelaide, 109 games for Hawthorn, 121 games for the Adelaide Football Club and 12 games representing South Australia. He has played in 3 AFL premierships and one Premiership for North Adelaide. Darren was all Australian in 1992, 1995 and
1996 and was the Hawthorn best and fairest in 1995 and was the runner up in the Brownlow Medal in the same year.

Darren was also a key figure in the North Adelaide Team of the Century (2001), was admitted to the SANFL Hall of Fame in 2006 and the Australian Hall of Fame in 2007. In 2008 Darren was given life membership of the Adelaide Football Club. Mark Ricciuto has played 312 games for the Adelaide Football Club and was the Clubs captain for 7 years from 2001. His magnificent career includes a Brownlow Medal in 2003, a premiership medallion in the Crows 1998 Premiership, 8 All-Australian selections and was captain of the All Australian team twice, three club best and fairests, captain of the Italian Team of the Century and was an Adelaide Team of the Decade member.

PAOC V CBC 10pts but could go either way
Pooraka V Unley 15-20goals
Fitzroy V Golden Grove 15 points (fitzroy always make it close)
Greenacres V Adelaide Lutheran 6 goals + (germans to struggle this year)
North Haven V Salisbury West 15+goals (but could be uglyier then that

all welcome to the alma after the game, im told there may be a footy or 2 up for auction signed by roo and jars on the night. i know ill put a bid or 2 down

[teaoby]

also surely the powers that be at PAOC and CBCOC could have named the cup a little better, i appreciate that the sponsors obviously gave some money for the honor but a couple of past legends from each club on the cup would have been nice.

o well i know the $$$ runs things at SAAFL level these days.
