[Specky McGee]

I saw it clearly and I'm not sure what upset Sambo but he threw the first one and Brooky got a few in as well. Both made some pretty solid contact. No problems with that, just 2 blokes having a crack one on one. But then Brooky goes on to his knees and No. 1 runs in from about 15 metres away with fist clenched and delivers one of the biggest uppercuts you'd see. Lucky for Brooky it just didn't quite find its mark. I can't recall seeing Fish doing anything untoward.

DTH, this Brookman Vs Fishlock incident wasnt during the scuffle that resulted from the Miles elbow, but was a separate incident that occurred alongside the Brighton interchange bench later in the quarter. It was behind play, so no umpire would have seen it.

[Down the Hill]

Yes Specky, I got the right one because I was 2 or 3 metres from it. I didn't really see Fish as my focus was on Sambo and Brooky and I also had clear view of No. 1's cheap shot. Before that it was a good old fashioned stoush with blokes who can look after themselves. I have alot of respect for Sambo and Fish and even though one can't fully condone blokes throwing punches, there was no snipering going on. Surely someone saw what No. 1 did.

[Zelezny Chucks]

I remember the incident but our group of supporters was probably too busy dealing with threats from a rather well known Brighton supporter.

Who I might add seemed to spend the whole day with his back to the game with more interest shown in starting a fight.

[Cheese Twisties]

At the end of the day, the biffo only started after Miles needless cheap shot on N Bayly, the game had been played in good spirt up to that point. IMO Brighton's game plan over the last few years has always been to "get Morphies off their game" wether by sledging or by rough play, in the hope of getting our boys more focused on fighting rather than footy. And it has worked a number of times! But i say if you keep on baiting our boys to snap, you cant then complain to us when the fights start, especially after your bloke Miles started it anyway.

[The Dutchman]

With all this talk about rough play, how can everyone overlook the Pollard incident which saw him get a yellow card???

[vics01]

Another weekend of Finals footy and more incidents and controversy involving BDOS. Hopefully this week with No BDOS Seniors playing we just have good old fashion contests. Maybe they better tell some of the committee members to stay away. Happened to pretty close to the action Saturday DTH, from my view it was the BDOS Secretary doing all the carry on not Porties.
DTH it is Beginning to look you and your club have an inferiority complex.

Heard that Shorty looked a bit wobbly on the weekend.

[The Dutchman]

It's normally his kicks for goal that look a little bit "wobbly". He played 4 quarters and kicked plenty of goals, so no concerns there vics.

Bunch of big mouths when your mates are around.....but as soon as you weak little turds get challenged you go to water.....take up the challenge if you got the balls.....go to the footy and support your team NOT abuse and make personal rants against the opposition.

Beeching went jelly kneed with apologies when THE SUPPORTER IN QUESTION approached him after the game and asked if he wanted to continue with his hero antics!!!!

REASON FOR NOT WATCHING MUCH OF GAME: MV played way too good and couldn't bring myself to watch - hey I do the same thing with the AFL....

If clubs informed their supporters to rock up and SUPPORT their club and not INSULT and ABUSE the opposition - there wouldn't be the fights etc.....problem solved....

[The Dutchman]

C'mon Dogs, the Emu supporters might have been abusing the Brighton players but it was all in good fun. There was no hint of going the knuckle until the supporter in question went asking for one, or two, or three people to take him on...
There were reports of the Bombers supporters doing exactly the same thing in the south-west pocket, but i'm pleased to say words were just words...
The Morphy boys are smarter than you give them credit for...the supporter in question can obviously handle himself and they made a wise decision to let sleeping dogs lie...

You love making mountains out of molehills Vics. As I said, our secretary was asked for an opinion and he gave it. From where I was, I only saw him chatting with some SFL officials on the ground at qtr-time who had asked him what he thought the rule was. There was no carry-on or anything. Our Sec played over 250 games for the Bombers, and theres not much he doesn't know about our club, the SFL or the rules of the game. As it turned out, his opinion was correct. Vics, why don't you have anything to say about the error that could have cost you dearly. In fact why would Ando play Size in the first place. He looks like a liability to me, particularly on the big grounds and I expect Bode and Short will make him look third rate next week. The Bombers still have 3 teams in GF's on Saturday including a SENIOR team our B grade so we'll still be out in force. No cherry pickers in our B grade though. Only 3 or 4 blokes over 21-22 and not much A grade experience.

Well done to the Cobra's for their efforts with getting 3 sides in. The Plattens and Kings etc. as well as alot of the people who have worked with the juniors deserve alot of credit for their hard work in making the Cobra's a power SFL club and doing it with junior development and not cheque book recruiting.

your a twat. DTH you have young team, congratulations , so does reynella.

[Jono]

Congratulations to both GF teams for 2008 Cove and Morphett Vale. Both teams going in with diffrent results Morphett Vale playing 4 quarters of hard physical finals football and Cove only needing a quarter and a half of exciting running football to beat Port Noarlunga, however prior to that, in the first half being very ordinary against a fired up Port Noarlunga side. Two diffrent decisions by both captains as well I know Ramsey kicked with the breeze in the first qtr Saturday and I am led to believe thru a post on here Short winning and going into the breeze sunday... Funny how captains have diffrent beliefs on footy Short obviously backing his guys in the first qtr to hold Brighton and maybe believing with the nerves of both sides and taking a while for the game to settle, due to it being a prelim,.. It could be a stale mate anyway with errors etc therfore having the breeze in the second once the game had settled....
Cove will need to take the momentum from there second half Saturday to match it with the emus early as I think Coves younger legs could prove effective later in the day on the bigger oval IF there in touch.... Been two ripper games between the sides during the year with cove winning both BUT by not a lot on either occasion.... Last time it was 4 points i think!!
Great matchups over the groung when you look at Pollard/PLatten, Gaskin/Weidermann, Vick/Bayly's, Ramsey/Smith, M Reavill/Joraslafsky, Gill/Short... You could go on and on.... I think this Grand final could be one of the great ones!!!!
I noticed the other Joraslafsky playing B's would he force his way in to the A grade side or do you think MV will go unchanged??

I was just fishing Flyer, and you took the bait beautifully with a typically measured response from you Wineys boys. All jokes aside, I was quite impressed with the very young, I think No. 7, who spent some time on the pine but really showed something when he was on the ground. Some of his centre clearance work in last quarter against bigger bodies was very impressive. Yes, game was over but he still caught the eye. Why didn't anyone from Happy's stand Mallabar when he went loose in defence into the wind. The guy couldn't run out of sight on a dark night but if you don't stand him he just reads the play and mops up.

haha! good call actually on both points. probly wrong forum, but that wasnt the only coaching error from Valeys. They waited until reynella pilled on 7 goals in a 5 goal wind, until they dropped any numbers back. Anyone know who the coach is? the match was over at quarter time..

well done to MV, cove and porties who had a great finish to the year, morphies will win easily in the A's - !!

Adam jeffries is Valleys Bgrade coach.Leaving Mally unchecked is not real bright !!!

[Bag The Points]

Fantastic Under-18 Grand Final coming up too !!
Brighton top all year, but unable to defeat Cove in two meetings (one was a draw).
Got to make sure I get a look at this one

Dogs I don’t understand, you go to the AFL, don’t you hear heckling from the crowd there. Heckling the opposition players is every supporters right when they pay their $6 at the gate, and when the player bites back you know you’ve got him off his game. Trying to start a fight cos of it is BS you gotta come out of the trees and start walking on two feet instead of all fours. As a player you do your best work on the field with your body as a supporter you do you best work behind the fence with your gob, either cheers or gears. You're not there to defend you players honor with fists, I’m sure the players can do that on the field with good footy.
Personally I loved being heckled from the crowd I used it to lift my game, I wish I got more of it over the years. I guess I wasn't a good enough player to justify it.

Agree with you their Bush! Nothing is meant to be personal just some harmless jibes to get them off their game, at the end of the day the players always know that they're on the right side of that white line and that's all that matters.

[rodney fox]

Surprised there wasn't much about the Mail Medal tonigh. Good luck to all contenders should be a great count.

Maybe because it's picked by the umpires.
Never known one who knew much about football let alone players.

Love the way the League gives the clubs a big bunch of tickets they HAVE TO sell and charge everybody 22 bucks to attend. Even the people invited who may be winners. Do I hear the words REVENUE RAISING anybody. A bloody sit down dinner, is there a special red carpet who's who out the front, half hour before, telecast on channel 7? How about you make it a lot cheaper put on a light supper and maybe you won't have to force the clubs to sell tickets.
I hope the Panthers are paying the League for putting on the show and have us spend our money over their bar and in their kitchen. Hope you Director Knob Head Schmoozers payed for your tickets like everybody else.
