Don’t reckon Houghton have ever won at St Marys even with 1-2 finals games going back 12-15 years ago. Definitely haven’t beaten us there. We played a cracker at Houghton in 2010 with Shamus Osborn kicking 7 in the last and won the game of his own boot- He did that a lot in those days!


We've won finals at St Mary's, beat the original St Paul's in a semi final to go onto a prelim against Wingfield.

I have fond memories of the oval and that day.

Interestingly, the same day our Bs lost to St Paul's, but they played an unregistered player who carved up and were stripped of the win!

Great day down at the Den yesterday! A HUGE crowd witnessed a great game in the A grade, the Rams got the jump but the Lions pegged them back and came home strong for a big win! Pure elation after the game with some tears of joy from our long suffering players and supporters. Really hit home what we have been missing out on and the reason why we made the move to the AdFL!

Congrats to the Houghton reserves, they put on a clinic and had too much experience for our boys. Hopefully we can have a strong showing this week in the prelim and get another crack at them. It will be pretty special if we can get both sides through to the GF.

Yeah the 3rd was an arm wrestle which we quite enjoy, we had the run of play in the last. We had some pretty nervous boys going into the game, fair bit of pressure on us I think, coming off a loss and a handful of our boys coming off a 3 week break. Credit to the Ram’s for taking it right up to us but I expect a better Lions team in the GF.

Must say Well done to OSB/Lonsdale, on making the Granny. Marion gave them a run though. Hopefully a rematch in a fortnight.

OSB/Lonsdale is definitely a very welcoming and friendly club, from people involved in the club to its supporters.. Drinks prices were very good also. very good. :D

* Also saw a chick walking a ferret, that's something I haven't seen at a local footy game.

Well done to my boys on the weekend after playing some really good football and booking ourselves into the GF. Credit due to Lonsdale as they battled all day and never gave up. They have some really good ball movers. So we will see how they go and may see them again in the GF. But it was a really good game by the Raiders. Especially our ball movement and link up. Freddy Taylor and Q were causing headaches up forward and our defense help up well apart from a few minutes in the 3rd where Lonsdale managed to kick a couple before we settled and kicked away.

We know the job is not done until the final siren. But we have worked hard all year and to fall short would be disappointing. So we have 2 weeks of training hard in preparation for the GF. But also the enjoy the feeling of being there too. Carn you Raiders!!!!!!!

Have a feeling Golden Grove will get up over Lonsdale in the Reserves

Marion to bounce back over St Pauls

Houghton vs Golden Grove
OSB Lonsdale vs Marion

I'm pretty sure Houghton's Reserves would beat their Seniors.
Can't be sure how many but there was at least one bloke in their Reserves who was playing midfield for their Seniors earlier in the year and was clearly one of their best.. Take nothing away from Houghton, they have a quality Reserves team, but I'd say they knew pretty early that their Seniors wouldn't make finals and made the necessary changes to get there Reserves up months ago.

I reckon they'd beat a few A Grade teams. Good mix of runners and talls. The tallest team I've seen for years A's or 'B's. Apart from our ruckman I think they had the 10 tallest players on the field. Their mids worked harder than ours. Will be very hard to stop come Grand Final day.

I couldn't care less to be honest. Houghton are well within the rules and EVERY SINGLE ONE of their players has played more reserves than A grade. Stacking happens in all comps - from memory in SFL you only require 4 games in that grade to be eligible(don't quote me on that)?

Houghton's best 2 players by a mile Keetch and Taylor have had long A grade careers and have every right to play reserves if that's what they choose to do (they aren't exactly spring chickens). As for beating A grade teams i don't think so. Flinders is the only team they might beat.
