SAAFL Div 5 & 5R (2009)

Looking forward to LM's take on Smithfield playing Perrie and Bassett

[sprinttospace]

two of the most difficult to comprehend decisions i've seen in four years in the last quarter of the b grade today. neutral club umpires, maybe there is something in the plans the league have on this.

Elizabeth 08.13 61 v 10.11 71 Plympton

What happened to Elizabeth?

Cant win games of footy when you don't find targets and chase jumpers, plus they are very top heavy ad some what undisciplined!!!!! To busy sometimes going the body and not the ball. Very disapointing effort today i thought , i expected more from elizabeth cause i very much rate them and are very good club and i reckon they would be disapointed too.... Dogs were dominant on this day... Looking forward to the next clash.... However in the 2's elizabeth played very well, probably unlucky not to get a win. Dogs played well 1st half, on top, up by 4 or 5, but the dogs had a nap for the next quarter and half, EFC took full advantage and faught back. Dogs came back with bout 5-10 mins left, PFC showed some character to come back and win... Cant remember his number but a short chubby bloke in the middle, played well for them. Also want to note that Elizabeths B grade umpire could possibly be the worst umpire ive ever seen.... He payed 1, yes 1 free kick all day.... i think he was allergic to his whistle, but at least he was consistant and he was like that for both teams.... shocking though!!!!! Good solid game none the less, should be a ripper return match.....
Well done to other winning sides....

it will be to hard to get neutral umpires, considering the league are struggling with umpire at the moment..... Majority of umpires are good..... i think you just have to take the good with the bad however hard it is..... Trust me if you came down to Argana Park you would've seen what im talking about!! Nah i reckon leave it as it is, cause there trying there best and there doing the clubs the favors.....

Did Pulteney play 19 men short today??? I could have sworn there was 16 other blokes on the field (plus 3 on the bench) wearing a blue jumper just like they were

What happened to Smithfield today??????? Did they have a few out or something????

Ill refrase the question for Heaters benefit.......Looking forward to LM's take on Smithfield playing Pultney with Perrie and Bassett both in the side.

good first quarter at kooka pk yesterday and then the wheels came off again and valleys kicked 8 to zip..even 3rd quarter but valleys to strong in the last, ran well and overlapped as the confidence rose..great game by number 10 for valleys..kookas back to the drawing board with 2 more injuries to talls and some horrible turnovers today..might have to go and watch the u/14's today and see if there are any talls there we can bring in

[Dogwatcher]

Eagle boys very disappointed with their loss. Know what's required now.
The short stocky bloke in the middle in the B grade would be Darrell Prosser. Club legend. Been playing seniors since the age of 14.
His brother Mouse - useless, fat little bugger

Fair wrap Zed
In the B's we didnt have a bench after half time, all ankles!
The umpiring in the A grade was quite possibly the worst display I have ever seen. Admittedly it was both ways but shocking all the same

[The BulldogLover]

Rosewater: 37. 24. 246
Ingle Farm: 2. 3. 15

Is that correct?

Yeah hearts it is but i just want to say one thing is that you have to take ya hats off to the farmers, the way they conducted themselves all day.They just have to keep workin together and things will come for them...

Whats up with the serial headbutter zed, number 5 i think it was , had a couple of go's but by the looks of it didnt connect

Very interesting results, whilst they all went the way i thought they would, certainly didnt expect the margins that Plympton & Pultney won by.

Pultney & Plympton now look to be the front runners with a stack of clubs pretty close together thereafter. Winning games at home along with pinching a couple on the road will be the key to grabbing a finals berth

Already looking forward to our home game against Pultney next week should be a ripper, going to enjoy watching Perrie & Bassett running around at the 'G' (glandore oval) hopefully not getting too many touches - supporters luncheon that day during the B Grade as well with Kevin Sheedy as the guest speaker

Don't count on Bassett only played his second game yesterday.....

Heater how can a team go from being as bad as you guys were last year, to being a seriously good side.?? Is it the new coach as well as the 2 big names.?

This is not meant to be an attack I am always interested in how is happens we know how teams fall from grace ( mostly players leaving )

No. It is a total Culture change, the A grade and 75% of the B grade are training twice a week and committed to listen to the coaching staff. As we have an A grade playing coach our bench/assistant coach is very experienced with under-age SANFL teams and knows his footy. We let a few blokes go from last year for various reasons and recruited via the new coach bringing a mate with him, a returning SANFL under age player, A former Old scholar returning from higher a div,plus a bloke out of the blue from Salisbury I think. The rest of the side is mainly the same plus a few internal recruits with blokes returning from injury and other commitments

Perrie and Bassett are just the icing on the cake and just enjoying their footy. They are not the reason why we where we are this season and it gives me the Sh1ts that people automatically assume that it is just 2 AFL players playing and we pay them big bucks to play Div 5 footy. Feddy has only played the 2 games so far due to other commitments but will play a few more games plus finals if we get there . Perrie has played every game and has not been outstanding but contributes every week. If they were not around, the club would have targeted some recruits or found from within to fill the roles that they play.

Still have a few blokes missing with injury mainly our Captain out for 6 or so weeks, ruckman should return this week and V/capt to miss another 2 maybe

thats some very big icing for that cake

[Jimmy_041]

Yeah, but everyones getting into his head about his kicking. That's got to be the worst call I've heard on here (other than me picking Kilburn in D2 this week)

Mouse makes a good runner! lol

Not makin excuses for the boys but im sure they missed 5 starters from last weeks win due to injury, including the Forty Winks crew of David Ellis and Dave Rogers. Daniel Glennie was a big loss 2. The Lumberjack was forced into the midfield most of the day, left us very light up forward.
Not takin anythin away from Pympton, very impressive side. Dont think it would have changed result.
