SAAFL Div 5 2008

[Andy #24]

I agree with Zedman the Eddie MacGuire of div 5. Who do Golden Grove think they are?

[Footy Chick]

"FWIW, a lot of older clubs have historical reasons/stories behind their logo's etc... Golden Grove isnt that old. The way I see it, Green and Gold are the Colours of Australia (and represent the green and wattle lined streets of GG) and Kookaburras are Australian animals, pre GG becoming a Delfin project, Im sure there where sihteloads of the buggers around..."

well FC maybe they should have called themselves the "wattlers" then or perhaps "the goldenroaders"..that patch of land they called an oval sat there for a long time before an oval was stenciled onto it ..there were no kookaburras there cuz there were no trees..in fact it was a tin shed basically..and that was it

you say you are called the falcons cuz of sponsorship..thats nice..u have a reason why you are called the falcons..i want to know why they called themselves the kookaburras..when they have no reason to

Ok, why are Greenacres called the Dragons??? How many kangaroos do you see hopping around North Melbourne? " That" patch of land does not depict the whole of Golden Grove. What Im trying to say is that there's no reason to keep making an example of the GGFC. There are a million clubs you could be accusing of having meaningless logo's... not that I'm encouraging you to do so...

Dont YOU start...

Perfect example... Kilburn isn't exactly known for all the Knights living in the suburb. The only way you can relate KNIGHT to Kilburn is that "you dont go out at KNIGHT in kilburn." I wonder if thats why they started calling them "the killers"

[Andy #24]

We are called the Knights because we are so chivalrous. Not because chics sounded silly.

[zedman]

greenacres are green and black the colours of a dragon(look in ur kids books at home) LOL

pembroke are kings cuz they were called kings college, broadview tigers cuz of black and gold, goodwood saints are saints cuz of their ties with st raphaels,..all reasons why they are who they are..why are GG kookaburras?

cant you read FC..want me to buy some glasses for you?

[zedman]

and kilburn were the chics for many years..cuz kilburn was called little chicago many years ago..a reason why they were called the chics..

as for knights name no idea but it rhymes well ..and no other club are called the knights eh? so they didnt copy anyone elses..

[smac]

Ah, getting to your point now - it's a possessive thing.

Time to move on mate, they've been around 12 years and I doubt they intend changing.

[zedman]

move on?..i never left..its a forum..if u dont like it dont keep coming back..plenty of others are enjoying the topic..its called passion and amateur league is filled with it..its good to see the opinions

[Dogwatcher]

well, if it's so important, explain why mate?
all you've done is whinge that another team dares to have the same logo as you....
give us a reason to be understand why you're so upset about it.

[sprinttospace]

hounds : from the look of ur oval and "facilities" we will be playing on a dogtrack anyway, the "clubroom" is worse than a kennel..prolly well named emblem for u guys..have a nice day

look forward to hosting you at the "dogtrack" in '08 zedman. it's the best we've got mate and it seems to get us by, not fancy but thats the way it goes. have you been inside our "facilities"?

i reckon let the GG boys call themselves what they want, seems to get you a bit excited and creates a bit of conversation on a fairly quiet forum.

[LaughingKookaburra]

Nothing wrong with some banter,kookaburras can be yellow and green when you shoot them down with paintball guns lol. Im proud of the kookaburra logo on a Kenilworth guernsey and yes there is some rivalry probably going back to 1999 when Kenilworth upset Golden grove in an elimination final. Btw good luck to Golden Grove,2 years ago they had huge numbers aswell and a young list,but still were not much chop (In all fairness we were not either). Still if they hang around the lower divs in the upcoming years they are under acheiving. After all the stongest clubs in SAAFL are mostly from the north-eastern suburbs of adelaide. I wish the gov would give us that f*****g grant to build our new clubrooms,we would grow FAST if that occured (Plus a TAB lol). Youre a luchy man bulldog there.

[Bully]

how funny are some of the posts over the past day in this divison, dont know wether to take them seriously or just laugh my self to sleep

[BurraBoys]

Well ive missed a bit havnt i!!!!!! lol

Kookaburras are not green gold and blue your are right. The colours delfin used when developing the area and hence becoming synominous with the area are green blue and gold. Hence golden grove high being green and gold an pedare having mainly blue uniforms.

No trees???? Are we talking about the same place or what???? Ever been for a stroll through cobbler creek? No kookaburras in the area???....wrong again. I regurarly have kookaburras, cockatoos, and ibis in my backyard. Lots of nature out here. Kookaburras among it. Summer afternoons we will often hear them laughing from the training track. Not lauging at our training eitheer before one of you smart arses jumps in with the obvious comment.

Just because we were not the first kookaburras does not mean we have dont have a right to call ourselves the kookaburras. Illogical and pointless argument

Lets cut the bulls*** and get back to the football

[zedman]

dw: u troll thru here all day..i dont have to explain anything u to..if u dont know what im talking about yet then u need ur brain checked

burra boy : i specifically said greenfields oval not cobbler creek..the original "oval" gg started on had no trees anywhere..it was a piece of grass that had an oval stenciled onto it..and you still havent explained how u came up with a kookaburra as ur motif..not even close

anyway i have had my say on this topic now, and nice to see the div 5 forum well attended..have a nice xmas all

exactly sprint...nice to see some passion flowing..the forum was dead

it is the best u got sprint..that dont make it any good..its a fact ur oval is crud..if we dont get rain in march/april u prolly wont even be able to use it cuz the ACC will put a ban on sport on the parklands ovals..hell..were do u have a beer at that ground???

and as for being inside ur facilites..no..but ive seen the tin shed by the oval..it doesnt look very hospitable..to say the least

have a nice day ppl

at the end of the day wen were alwway winning on it (hopefully that can continue) we dont really care, it could be our advantage coz we sometimes here the opposition whinning about it and complaining about getting hurt coz theres no grass on it and its hard and what not

[BUZZ]

Now getting back to the footy.............

[Dogwatcher]

Weren't some clubs having pre-Christmas fitness tests? How have they been going? Anyone shining?

We are called the kookaburras beacuase there are a number of kookaburras in the golden grove area. Cobbler creek is an example of this. When you say greenfields oval...do you mean greenwith oval??? The one near the primary school? Yes not many trees there but the football club is representative of the total golden grove area. A football club reaches past the confides if its club rooms and the oval at which they reside. As kookaburras are a part of the nautral surroundings of golden grove, it is an appropriate choice.
