Great Southern Football League

[field of dreams]

It does seem likely when Great Southern comp starts pretty much a month before the K.I. comp does and thus he would play three or 4 games for Yank before returning to Dudley for the commencement of their season.

Ahh cool cheers. I can see 2 in 2007 and 3 in 2008. So it could be that he was 3 points in 2008, but as a returning player the following year he would become a zero pointer. Interesting.

Edit - not sure what I've said there is correct

Also you would have to wonder why Yank would play a 38/9 year old bloke from KI ahead of some of the young local lads running around in the 2's.

Creeks have been playing a 43 y.o. from M Bridge in recent weeks ahead of A Grade Premiership players in their mid 20s.
And have been justified by the results
I guess it's only when you lose questions get asked?
No idea about the guy from KI but i'm guessing they rate him in their best 21 available ?

Age is irrelevant I would've thought, If ya good enough well .......

When did the point system actually come in?? I was under the impression that ANY games played for a club before that system came in, you were automatically a 0 pointer. Same as playing juniors at that club. And the APPS didn’t come into effect in something like 2010 wasn’t it?? If so, it’s a moot point coz he’s played previously and is clearly a 0 pointer.

You could be right. I thought it was prior to that but My memory ain’t what it used to be (obviously lol).

I thought you had to have played 25 games before the point system came in to effectively be a zero pointer?

Round 7 sees 3 vital matches that will significantly determine the make up of the Top 5 come finals.

Mount Compass have a great opportunity to consolidate and almost put a lock on a Top 3 spot if they defeat Yankalilla who are desperately in need of a win to stay in contention for a finals spot

E Bay have shown enough that they deserve to be part of finals action but need to get the job done against an injury riddled and inconsistent Strath team that can start looking towards next year if they go down in this clash

The other major clash is top of the table L Creek v 2nd place McLaren. Creeks will pretty much wrap up the Minor Premiership with a win whilst McLaren will be keen to hit back after their 1st loss last week to E Bay and stay in the running for top spot whilst almost certainly wrapping up a Top 3 double chance spot whilst a loss will make them slightly vulnerable.
It was Round 16 2014 and 2205 days ago since McLaren last beat the Hawks but they are in with a real shot here as the Hawks will be missing a handful of key players through injury

Tips
Creeks over McLaren by 7 points
Bays over Strath by 22 points
Compass over Yank by 12 points
Myp?Sell over Gool/PE by 9 points
Willunga over Victor by 78 points

Well JJ you did hint that Creek were missing some but I don’t think anyone could see a pasting coming. Shows again that it doesn’t take much to off on the day in this league.
Victor played their best game of the year and it was only Willunga’s experience/poise and straight kicking that got them over the line with 4-1 in the last term. They hit the front with 3 fairly quickly and victor hit back to tie it up before another scrambled kick from the goal square sealed it for the Dees. Willunga certainly aren’t the side I saw as premiership fancies pre COVID

No real upsets other than the margins in 2 of the games.

Willunga just avoided going down to Victor in what would have been one of the biggest upsets for a few years by coming from behind at 3/4 time to win by a solitary goal

The other surprise margin was McLaren who broke L Creeks 17 game winning streak starting from Round 11 last season by cruching them by 9 goals. McLaren who had lost their last 12 meetings against the Hawks dating back to Aug 9th 2014 quickly asserted their authority on the game early against an undisciplined Creek side and steadily increased the margin throughout the afternoon. Creeks were missing Kellock, Arbon, McGregor, Mitch Cleggett and Kartinyeri all through injury as well as Matt Tonkin who didn't take the field in the 2nd half.
Not surprised the Hawks lost as i was tempted to tip McLaren. Even with the injuries the Hawks have several A Grade Premiership players from the last 2 years running around in the B Grade out of form so not all can be blamed on injuries. McLaren were far too good in all departments against the Hawks who never threatened to kick a winning score.

Top 5 is pretty much decided with just the order to sort out. As much as there appeared to be limited genuine chances for the Flag only a week or 2 ago, it's wide open with any of the top 5 with a genuine chance with their chances greatly increased if they can finish top 3 which they all can with the right results.
Injuries are key. Creeks have been lucky enough the last 2 years to have pretty much a full squad to pick from on GF day and thats resulted in 2 flags. Results the last few weeks have shown how tight things are with the top 6 -7 teams with a few injuries and a 5% drop off in attitude can result in big form swings

[oldbomber]

Have seen all the top few teams this year and i think its a 3 horse race now. Creeks have depth and i think last weeks loss has just poked the bear. Time for plenty of quality to come back into their line up. I tip Creeks to win it at home with only mcclaren and encounter bays absolute best capable to challenge them.

Blowouts were Saturday's theme with the sudden blast of spring weather. Looks like the Creek/Yank game should also have been (4-14 at half time!!)

After 3 weeks of close-fought games (albeit 2 against the other sides searching for their first win), I was optimistic that Victor would have their first win for the year after having the better of Willunga last week in most aspects except with accuracy in front of goal.

Are the numbers likely to increase over the coming weeks or is this set in stone now.
