The Bedge wrote:The Bedge Reviews... Hope Valley Canteen/BBQ - The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.
Few days late, so operating purely off memory so may miss some parts, but none the less here we go..
THE GOOD
As I strode to the canteen to find something to satisfy my growing ache for food, my attention was immediately drawn to the large poster on the bench - 'The Holy Grail' - the name alone was almost enough to make me buy it. $10 cost for a hamburger that included (and I'm operating off memory here) a nice thick, juicy, succulent beef patty followed by a sliced up cheese kransky, topped with rich, decadent bacon and soft caramelised BBQ onion . Add a bit of fresh home made coleslaw and a sprinkle of Big Mac burger sauce and it was a sight to behold.
Slightly intimidating in size, surprisingly easy to eat, and not too messy. Some slight downward pressure to compress our food groups and away we went.
The hamburger bun was brilliant. Fresh, soft, delicious. The patty - truly value for money. Served in quick time, limited down time waiting gives it bonus points.
Only criticism was I would've liked the meats to be a little hotter, but that's academic, it went down a treat and proved to be a popular item amongst people.
Bedge Rating - 6.5/10
THE BAD
Misleading title on this, the food was far from bad.. and that food is the freshly cooked hot chips and gravy.
The chips themselves were beautifully cooked. Golden and crisp on the outside providing that lovely crunch but soft, hot and delicate on the inside.. complimented by a well prepared, consistent gravy that was nice and hot and had the tastebuds dancing in ecstasy.
A generous serve in your standard foil tray to keep them nice and hot, it's an item I would recommend to visiting sides.
However... 20min wait totally ruins the experience. Clearly a high volume product, the Demons need to find a better way to pump out their goods in a more adequate time frame.. good food or not, no one wants to want a whole quarter to experience it - especially not fat hungry people like me.
Bedge Rating - 4/10
THE UGLY
As if mocking me, the footy gods had me scheduled to return to the scene of the massacre again Sunday. As I arrived, i'd hoped maybe our players had finally turned up, but alas the ground was empty.
Early morning kids footy, and being a 9am game had rushed around in the morning and forgot to stop and grab my regular coffee.. to my delight however I was informed the canteen had coffee! Brilliant! Saved!
Unfortunately the coffee was arguably the most disgusting thing i'd experienced that weekend - that's saying something as I was involved in 3 thrashings the day before, and then had watched the HV U7's pick apart the IF kids with precision kicking and spread as if they were playing against witches hats.
Devastating way to finish my weekend and Hope Valley experience - what started with the eldest daughter losing Friday night to the Demons, followed by 3 senior footy losses Saturday then the youngest girls losing Sunday and then being topped off with that disgusting excuse for a coffee - I was on suicide watch Sunday night, and i'm sure glad I don't have to worry about the Demons for another 9 weeks.. i'm emotionally scared.

55 scoring shots from about 70 F50 entries, it's easy to pick up some cheap kicks over 3 or so quarters.
Valleys C grade pretty imposing unit though - first you have Hagerstrom in the ruck, who wouldn't look out of place playing A grade footy still, then as if that's not bad enough, he gets a chop out from Garang who is one helluva athlete! He was jumping a good foot or so over our ruck, and using his two hands to push the ball wherever he wanted!
Anderson and Bowen I thought were outstanding all day, and Franceschinis provided plenty of run - was he coming off a back flank?
The Mitchell boys up forward were impossible for our guys to match up on, and 16 between them could easily have been a lot more if they hadn't been so selfless, add in Burns who is fresh off playing A grade footy at Brahma last year - it's a potent lineup.
I did have two giggle moments - 1 was a young fella playing forward burnt his team mates, snapped and kicked a point - one of the Ingle Farm players called him a hungry hippo, and he lost his shit he was going wild, calling us sore losers etc.. he really took that comment to heart haha!
The other was the breaks "Alright backs over here" I was thinking why? What have they got to talk about? Ball hasn't been down there all day, poor blokes must be bored sh*tless haha!
