Wouldn't say Gullies over achieved as such.

Despite the losses, they were still left with a very good squad.

It was those that don't know any better that though their world was going to crash down around them.

SPOC massive under achievers here

Probably hard to say that Morphies over achieved too, given that we don't really have any prior form to compare them to.

Unfortunately I probably agree slightly with Fitzroy, considering all the big returns. Still 4 rounds to go though.
Don't play games with a girl who can play 'em better...

Shrewd recruiting by Pulteney to get Dalton Tucker and Josh Giddings they haven't over achieved in my book. Their kids are another year older and a couple of lesser known recruits has them well poised come the business end of the season. If they don't bring home the chocolates in the big dance they have probably under achieved.

Brighton - They dropped a game.
Where's Bill? Yeah... Hmm... Bill is on the Villa Quatro, on the road to Salina. I will draw you a map.

As I mentioned in the Pre-Season Morphy Parks were always going to go top 3 in Div 4. They have not under-achieved at all and the only ones who think that they wouldn't do well in Div 4 are those North of the City. Someone tipped them to go bottom lel!

That was me. That had more to do with the other Div 4 clubs copping it in the arse and being relegated to make way for them. :evil:

Bit harsh I reckon. There was not a lot separating the top 5 all year. Just have to look at the results when they played each other. Close games. Elizabeth are a good team and injuries to some keys hurt their chances at the business end. They will do well in 2018. Good luck to Dave and the lads.

Reckon in every grade from Div 1 to Div 6, the top team at the end of the minor round was clear favourite to win the Premiership. If any of them don't win it will massive under achievement.

Div 1 - Rostrevor
Div 2 - Henley
Div 3 - Brighton
Div 4 - North Haven
Div 5 - Glenunga
Div 6 - Pulteney

Think all six of them will win, put them in a Multi!!

I think Athelstones leg speed and skills on Thebarton will get them over the line whoever they play.
