Adelaide Plains Football League

Lets be honest does it really matter, what will our league gain from the visit??

If nothing else - some publicity it would seem - OR - maybe a Centrals player going into the WWT zone might raise an eyebrow or 2 and make WWT realise that they have a country zone quite close to their headquarters. Won't be holding my breath!

Maybe WWT will send out the pie cart to a few Junior training sessions around the league - hahaha - I am cracking some big ones now......

Screw the pie cart at the Juniors. How about the seniors getting a few pies!

I'm with you on that one DB - could do with some conditioning myself.

yes u could do with alot of conditioning

Balaklava - Walker, Catford, Levi, Scott and Evans x3
Hamley - Newchurch, Br.Burgess
HWE - Joel Wilson, Jazz Wilson, Light, Barnes, Jericho, Reid & Ciccolella.
Mallala - montgomerie x 2, whitwell, Rimmer, Earl & Montgomery
United - Dalgleish, M.Pym, Serle, Vandenburgh & Broad.
Two Wells - Buss, Allmond, Seccafien, Oliver & Grugovic.
Virginia - Leo, Young, Starr & Conti.

Apologies to anyone who i haven't named, i have no official say in the squad, just opinion.

Good start Rooster - lets put forward some other youngsters to run with the squad at well - might not play but good experience for them - young Rowland at Balak always impresses me. Dhamu from United is going to be a quality player (I did hear he might be heading interstate - hope that's wrong). Birchmore from Mallala?

Any of you Longies boys know how the Tigers will line up this weekend? any of your injured blokes back?

Incidently according to the paper yesterday it was 1965 when Woodville emerged and the SANFL in their wisdom decided to label our zone as Woodville zone, and as the two teams merged they continued. Personally i think it needs to be looked at, but that's another debate.

Im pretty sure that when i was a real young pup, Im talking early 90's , that our comp was afiliated with central district. Actually im pretty certain, but i couldnt give you dates as to when things changed over to the Eagles again.

Reckon your right there Swamp - I know of 3 young fellas that were playing with Centrals U/17 back in the mid to late 80s - these days those same lads would be zoned to WWT.

One of them was running around the Two Wells Oval past 2 matches.

Tips

Two Wells to smash Hamley
Mallala over Virginia by 8 goals
United by 2 goals and Jon Griffin wishing he had a beard like Whisky!

Dream Team by 8 goals

[Dogwatcher]

Very true - I reckon through to Hamley would have been Doggies territory. I remember playing with guys from out that way when I was in underage squads (Luke McCabe is one example). Clare was also in our zone (Tim Cook, Eddie Hocking (???), Sam Lindner, Shayne Willmott, Corey Donnellan) are all guys I can remember who I think came from that way. Somehow a bloke called Avan Ireland was also playing with us - he's from Port Broughton, so I don't know how that worked...Sammy McArdle also played in Centrals' early flags too.

That was about 15 years ago now when I was there, so the zone's changed after that.

Two Wells vs Hamley: TW by 8 goals - Watts to kick 11
Virginia vs Mallala: Mallala 11 pts - Tim Cawrse to kick 0
Balak vs United: United 7 points - Willy to kick 6

Dream team by 10 points Burton to kick 5

centrals vs Eagles: dogs by 11 points

Noticed a couple of pages ago all you lads were having a whinge about those funny looking white fellas running around trying to control the game.I am with most of you. The standard of umpiring is feeble.I witnessed the display out at longies last weekend and they shore know how to ruin a game. They are that slow they were making decisions from about 40 meters away . How are they supposed to see a clutch situation from that distance , a guess maybe. I have been involved with this league for 15 years now and the quality of umpiring is at its worse .Some serious theorie needs to be put in place!!!!!! No offence to tallboy , a top bloke and knows his footy to boot . Maybe he should shout them all beers at his house for some home work on a friday night. Can pint of ale tell me which club sells the coldest and freshest beeeeeeer in the league ?

[SAM GRIBBLES]

Hey hazbeen i think shagga pym is playing back pocket in the a's and chook daniel is slipping the boots on ,they are scratching out that way at the moment.

I'm gonna jump in on this one, i have had the pleasure of sampling many an ale at all the grounds (even Lochiel!!) and i would have to say that the coldest by far would be found at Virginia, and that could be because a) it's colder down at ram park than anywhere else in the plains, b) No one else drinks beer at the bar, its all spirits and the beer is sitting there chilling or c) they just like to serve really cold beer!

Personally i think it's a bit of all three, i had a beer there once that gave me brain freeze, i had a schooner and could not even hold it for frostbite in my hand, like a pom i had to wait for it to thaw out before i could drink it, but would have it no other way.

It's hard to come across that nowadays as most places serve beer by bottles and can instead of from the keg. but get down to Ram park for a real treat, some barbecue spare ribs or pig on spit and the coldest coopers pale ale this side of the Antartic Hotel just south of tasmania.

Sam Gribbles will get my gag

He might also know about Elvis and Johnny Cash. Sunshine out the window might even make him happy, like he should be.

And yes, I'm pretty sure Sam Gribbles likes Footy.

[SAM GRIBBLES]
