[Down the Hill]

I have no problem with a club having extra points but I think any club that gets them shouldn't be allowed to use a junior player for -1 points just to keep them below their point allocation in a particular game. Morphy Park did this for 1 of the games Backwell played and may have continued to do it if Backwell didn't get injured. The -1 player they used was only 16 and probably sat on the bench most of the game. I think this is stretching the boundaries of fairness for clubs that get extra points.

[Bag The Points]

Does anyone know what happened to Trevor Cranston on Saturday ?

[Down the Hill]

Would love to say he spat the dummy at not being in the top 4 in the Mail Medal, but in truth I believe he had a bad bout of gastro. The same thing that destroyed the Emu's finals campaign back in 2010.

Thanks DTH, not saying Port would not have won with Cranston there, but it sure helped their cause.
Be careful mate, the Divers are running hot.

Reckon he's got a fair case to be upset about not being top 4. He was an awesome pickup for the Roos and played at a level well above most. I know voting is subjective, but his work ethic and class were surely deserving of a top 4 in the voting. A player that would have fitted brilliantly at any club in the SFL.

the player in question DTH, Eyre White is u/16 captain he did all the pre season with the seniors and was keen to play higher, he played 6 senior games for the club and deserved his spot in the A's after playing well in the B's, over the years the club has been forced to play young players similar to Aldinga this year, sometimes these players are not ready and we have lost them to the game....it is great credit to Eyre who started at the club as a u/9.....Many off the clubs current players who came through the juniors never got the chance to play u/18's they went straight into seniors from u/16's and copped the 40 goal hidings, no complaints then, maybe those floggings have helped the club over the last 5 yrs as they learn't the hard way. The Roos have not had u/18's since 06 when it had to withdraw the side to fill the seniors, this is why they applied for extra points to help rebuild juniors which is starting to happen, success takes time.

So the lad in question plays one game in over a month for MVP on 16th June in B Grade makes his form irresistible to play A Grade, coincidentally the day Backwell plays his first game for the club and minus one point was required to fit in Backwell.

Gives us a break, he played A grade so Backwell could play. Don't spin us a yarn that playing his first B grade game 3 weeks prior meant he deserved his spot.

You missed the point BDH. No problem with a promising kid playing senior footy but to do it in the 1 game that was needed so that Blackwell could play without dropping another points player is WRONG. My argument is that this strategy should not be allowed by a club that has already been provided with extra points. And like RAP said, young White was away on holidays for the 2 or 3 weeks before this game so don't spin us a yarn about being in ripping form and was banging down the door for an A grade game. Regulars on this forum know a fair bit about whats going on around the SFL so don't try and fool us with your flawed argument.

Where there are rules that can be manipulated, they will always be used to advantage. Doesn't make it right, but doesn't make it outside the rules either. The whole points thing leaves way too much room for exploitation.

Saw MVP under 16 side on Saturday and watched them destroy Brighton in the GF, so they should have enough of their own junior talent coming through in the next 3 years. Will be interesting to see how they nurture the talent and how that comes through 18's. Certainly have a base to build from.

I think your all missing the point! I think its enough whinging about it on here! take it up with the league who allow it if it upsets you so much! have morphies broke any rules? no! gert over it!

VC what you need to remember is that the other SFL clubs were asked and supported the granting of extra points. One would imagine after the money runs out and the sunday under 16's go back to their school footy and saafl clubs and MVPFC ask again the other SFL clubs will not support next time. You should not bite the helping hand that is offered.

was at noarlunga today watching my lad play 18s and parked in my usual spot near the scoreboard and noticed sfl officials stopping people getting in for nix as there is no fence around it, one of them accused a lady of not paying and telling her to enter by the gate however she had paid and showed this guy her ticket. quite rightly she was pissed off and asked for his name which he wouldnt give, she told him he was a rude pig (which he was) and would be reporting him to the league, what an arsehole!

I also seen same incident but diffrently! Same lady last week did the same thing and then stood in vacant car spots for hubby to drive in with his 70k 4wd and smug she was. This was the same lady your talking about and no she did not show a ticket to the red coat just tried to justify her actions! straight after her another women i recall from same group also walked in and said she just ran home for lunch as she lives in Old Noarlunga (liar liar pants on fire) she also wandered over to same group!!! Just my view STAMPY

[Old Blue New Tiger]

Is Marty going around at Hackham next year ? What was anyone's take on their year given the controversy that went down at the start of the season.

[Oldman Munga]

So what are the tips for this w/e folks ?
for mine its
Noarlunga over Valleys ,Valleys 2/3 injuries will be telling ,Shoeys without Goldfinch
Brighton and Porties will be a cracker , Porties in a classic tussle ,

Also anyone got any goss on Blackwoods board meeting on mon night with regards
to coming back to the SFL ,heard there are a few hills clubs eagerly awaiting the decision

That leaves the arch rivals Noarlunga v Port Noarlunga nice finish to the year Munga but i recon that haze has damaged ya thought process.....Valleys(best side all year) v Brighton (unless it rains and their tans begin to spoil)

Good work SB should have put you on the gate none of that sh1t would of happened where were their tickets cant part with a few bucks and drives a 4 x4 and the other one wont buy a steak sambo from the bbq hope she gets gastro as well

[Oldman Munga]

Maybe a bit of wishful thinking on my behalf 10 ,but stranger things have happened ,regardless its going to be a ripper round of finals footy ,

[Oldman Munga]

Cant see why he would'nt be going round again Tiger, considering the age of his squad this yr I reckon HFC did OK, they will develop in time as for all the controversy ,no rules were broken so half his luck ,

Maybe the red Coats time would be better utilised around the perimiter rather than the BBQ

[Oldman Munga]

Have heard that Noarlunga have sacked their U18's coach after what he said to his playing group after their loss to Flaggies on Saturday. Rumors are that he threatened to "kick their heads in" if they didn't win the next game. If this is true then it's no wonder they sacked him.

Close but no Cigar Baggers , oooops gotta go my prize bull "compass"from up the hill is drinking the pool water again
