SAAFL Division 7 2013

[Lightning McQueen]

Well you be lucky to get any from the owls as we will not clear any player who has not payed there subs, until all commitments are payed in full.

I know of three players leaving smithfield and they are quality players.

But i dont care we are div 6 and smithfield are div 7 (? maybe) we have worked our way up and know we get to play all other clubs that are A and B grade no C or D grade for us anymore.

Don't take things personally BPwizard, the Div 7 forum is full of excitement and innuendo. You have done a fantastic job at the Owls over the last 2 years and deserve a crack at Div 6. Half your boys left Smithfield for a reason and frankly, I have found most of them to be your strength. I guess they were looking for a more disciplined enjoyable environment.

They left Smithfield before BPwizard got there, they left Smithfield because Paul Oldacre was appointed coach over Steve dejager who was the B Grade coach at Smithfield at the time. Steve took on the newly formed Angle Vale A Grade coaching role.
Paul Oldacre was a strong disciplinarian which a lot of the players didn't like, Steve was more of a mate-like coach which was why the players followed him out to Angle Vale.
You made a nice story though.

LM whatever happened to Oldie?
played with him when cambelltown magill was running, nice bloke.
he was a fitness freak so i guess that would have scared a few of the boys away as well

The club has worked hard and players have worked hard to rise out of div 7 and as a club we know it is gunna be a big effort to move forward in div 6 but in general speaking with the club there is a 2 year mark to hopefully play finals but first not to go back to div 7 after the first year is a goal.

Angle Vale need to add about 8-10 genuine A Grade Footballers to their current team to be even competitive in Div 6 next season!

He coached Salisbury North 18's after Smithfield, I'm not sure of his movements after that, yes, he was a fair fitness freak, he always joined in with all the running which I admired from a coach.

well if smithies are denied affiliation, well bazinga!!!! the boys could play with the owls yerr

And we'd be doubly closer to c-grade super league, with 1 less agrade team to deal with - bazinga infinity!!!

LM do you know if Smithfield have appointed a new coach for next season?

i think mark harvey is the favourite, simon goodwin may look for a more permanent position, rather than just a 1 season contract before the previous coach returns from suspension

I think ex-Port District A Grade coach, Rod Smitheram would be the favourite there.

I've heard someone else from out that way has the job.

[Nocyrils]

Hey guys been a follower all year...but been only given access to post today!

Sounds like there has been a lot of "here say" happening over the Smittie issue
have heard a good version today but whether there is any truth in it is another story... !

[old fullback]

Milky Bar Kid did you see Ingle Farm's Bryant running through half forward in the 1st qtr with only one to beat,the supporters were waiting for a nice side step,running bounce and goal,but while the opposition player was 3ft off the ground he smothered it? That could've been goal of the year.

Not my finest moment & trust me I had plenty of fine moments over the next 3 days. Made the mistake & right away knew I should have borked. Oh well, still a memorable day!

Ah you sure are a crowd favourite Milky Bar Kid, , premiership player, "FARMERS PREMIERS 2013"

So with the Div 7 team of the year expected to be announced this afternoon, anyone care to have a crack at which players from their clubs will be selected?

Ingle Farm certainties (you would think) would be Lynch (Div 7 leading goal kicker) and Gannell (Assoc medalist), others that might get a look in could include Naylor, Pligl, Stacey. Hard to know which others really stood out given it was quite an even spread across the season and everyone contributed.

Yes the league of informed gentlemen and Bedgy should have the teams in print by midday. I have been told being dragged in a GF does not effect ones chances MBK

That's cause the crowd think I'm Steve Gannell
Believe me, I told everyone possible over the next few days that I was a premiership player! It was a great achievement by the club!
