How did younge lipson go felch

Lippo was good early, took a couple of good marks from nice delivery. I thought young Josh Frank did pretty well after that on him, pretty even contest i reckon.

[Felch]

Dempsey's effort in the last quarter, when he fell over on the half back flank, got up and still managed to evade a couple of Portland tackles, then ran the ball a good 30-40 metres and found a team-mate was match winning, IMO. I know he was injured too, so makes the effort even better.

Felch, was Granleese tagging/standing Wattsy?? I thought you guys wasted one of your better players as Wattsy was always going to have an influence anyway!! IMO.

No, Granleese was CHB, and it wasnt a planned match-up. Wattsy was rucking, and then running forward, especially in the first quarter when you blokes had all the play. It probably caught us a little by surprise to have Wattsy pushing forward like he did. When things swung our way, he pushed back like he normally does. Granleese was still one of our better players, our half back line was pretty good all round i reckon, as far as rebound went.

Ahh Fair enough.........it just seemed that way............but like you said Wattsy did play/push forward a fair bit.

rumour has it burridge was up to his old tricks again.
anything serious on just rumour

[Felch]

Nothing too serious with Burridge, just a bit of pushing and shoving and a few words exchanged. I was VERY surprised to see him rated 3rd best in the paper, obviously fighting in the goal square while your opponent is on the flank kicking goals is rated highly by the powers-that-be at Haven. Williams beat him on the day, IMO.

Anyone looked at the D4 ladder on the SAAFL website ? Whats the story with Lutheran, why are they sitting 7th on 8 points, but have 5 wins ??? Must be an error.

if you did your research by the paper greg hearn would get tagged every week along with burridge

Luckily we had someone else to do some research this week for us...

Not that it helped at the end of the day !!!

what are you implying piccachu?

[piccachu]

just seems like on a regular basis that hearn and burridge are consistently in the best players. interesting to see how they go in the best and fairest.

Pooraka PAOC game was a very tight tussle all day.
From Quarter time onwards the game pretty much went PAOC kicking 3 goals then Pooraka kicking the next 3. Good physical game of footy which unfortunately was stopped by the umpires paying free kicks left right and centre most of which were very very soft. Went both ways though. Pooraka came within 3 points half way through the last quarter but PAOC finished off strongly with the last 3 majors to win by the 21 points.
IMO PAOC are definately one of the bigger sides in Div 4. Some very solid lads in there side.
Expect Pooraka to be back on track in the next few weeks building up to finals with some big inclusions into their side including Paradiso (back from 4 weeks out) Edwards, Bowden and Lovell.
Should add alot of strength to our midfield.

agree with what footy follower wrote. the umpires, particularly the bearded one, did their best to ruin the game. every contest was an opportunity for them to show their authority and pay a free kick. he was obviously picked on at school! but like he said, it went both ways so in the end i guess as long as they are consistent. its a pity its concistently sh*t though!

the game was a cracker all day, with both teams kicking goals in spurts. two plays by tim nichols and nick 'camilla' martin in the last 5 minutes when the game was on the line were truly inspirational

fat f/forward number 75 or 35 something like that, eyes cant quite see that far, to bloody old

[bucketts]

dont blow up coppos tyres by saying that he backed back into the pack, what i had seen he was standing there waiting for a poor kick, and by sh!t did he get crunched by his opposite number, brave work on getting up and keep on going, a lot less would have stayed down and waited for the meat wagon

I saw pretty much the first three quarters of the North Haven Portland game and couldn't believe the final score. I thought Haven's were gone at 3/4 time. Can anyone tell me what happened to Portland (did they fall over) or did North Haven revert to the footy they played in the first quarter?

And I saw one of the best collisions in footy. Both players should be commended on their effort (3rd quarter, CHF position of Portland). I hope that both players pulled up ok the next day cos by crikey that would've hurt. I thought the collision was legal as both players had their eyes on the ball. In fact I was surprised that there was a free out of it - although admittedly I wasn't sure exactly where the Portland player got hit.

Cheers

i think the free kick was for playing too hard, we cant have a collision that hard and not pay a free kick!!!
