SAAFL Div 7 & 7R (2009)

[Browny25]

In my opinion a WIN is a WIN, so you sing the song.

You can be dissapointed in your performance as much as you like but it would never not warrant singing the club song.

As players they should appreciate every win they get.

North Pines v Athelstone - i'm tipping the 1st real big upset of the year here

From now on you can all call me Nostradamus

Well done North Pines, Bigshow I hope you and Gilligan celebrated in style Saturday night...also a big thank you you've done us a big favour

Cheers Nostradamus.......

We celebrated well into the night but also had a chat with the boys that they have now set a standard of footy that we expect them to maintain for the rest of the year.

Glad we could help out getting you blokes a game clear of the raggies. Im sure Quichey and his mates are just as pleased. Should be a cracking last half of the season in div 7 with most games lately being very closely contested. Looking forward to it.

congrats bigshow and yes we are happy for your win up at raider land too oh and btw you have some nice dancing moves lol i saw a video of them on facebook haha keep up the gd work

[Animus]

hey Quichey, how can you kick more accurately than 100% ??

So that says Henley are very good

hey Quichey, how can you kick more accurately than 100% ??

i thought the same thing, but i think instead of dividing the goals by the total number of shots he's divided the goals by the points... maybe...

example - if my team kicked 64 goals 36... my calculation would be 64/100 = 64% accuracy. what i think Q did is 64/36 = 177.78%

makin sense?

[Q.]

NG is correct. I was lazy, the percentage is only weighted against behinds, not total shots. I will adjust it.

Someones got nothing to do at work or a bloody cushy job.

You can talk mate your offsider who does all the work nearly choked

[hazza11]

disppointed we couldn't steal the win today. our first quarter with the breeze let us down. then the third we kicked 5-9 or something... had just as much of it and again showed we can play! but just can't get that elusive win on the board! well done to Riddler and the st pauls lads in a great contest, look forward to next time. oh and thanks for the tag Riddler! made me work a little harder!!!

Was a good game NG. It was a terrible tag I rate you guys in the middle, you seem work quite well in there.
A 25m penalty and a couple of a silly free kicks late on let you guys down a bit!
After the first quarter, you guys were better than us I reckon.

Cheers buddy. I think I need to stick to coaching and leave the dancing to people with sum sense of rythm

You are correct, much slower than the first 2 haha.
Yes your kicking for goals was wayward, you guys aren't far off though!

yeah but unfortunately there is nowhere on the ladder that shows 'honourable losses'

we just gotta keep improving, which we will. and RE the middle, we had what we call our DreamTeam centre on the weekend!!! Young Benny our ruckman was playin in the 2's up until about 3 weeks ago! he is a gun and will only get better, Jurina is my favourite, my wife tells me i have a man crush... and Micko is like a Daniel Cross type, 35 touches, 30 handpasses!

Is Jurina #19? Good player if I have the right guy. Seems to be a good bloke too so I understand the man crush haha.
You fellas killed us for clearances and I am still having nightmares. Benny played well too.

This Saturday against Athelstone St Paul's will be conducting a Kids Coaching Clinic from 10.30am - 11.45am @ Mawson Lakes Oval for all kids aged 5 - 14 years.

Clinic will be conducted by some of The Saints boys with great giveaways for all kids attending along with a free sausage sizzle and bouncy castle.

We're hoping some of the families stay and enjoy the day afterwards to support us against The Raggies.

I can't remember the day that we last played Adelaide Uni at Houghton, but on Saturday I witnessed something rather unusual and, quite frankly, disappointing. I looked over to the opposition bench and, for perhaps the first time ever in my life, I noticed that there were ZERO opposition supporters. Yes, the entire Reserves team had p*ssed off and left their clubmen to get flogged. It was quite a discussion amongst us lads after the game, we could not fathom why anyone would want to play C Grade for Adelaide Uni, being left with a substandard team with NO support. Some top blokes (who try their guts out) in that C Grade team, especially Pete Austin who sunk several beers with us after the game.

As has been well commented, Adelaide Unis D grade team are simply trophy hunting. The D grade appears to be a mini club with in a large club.

there are many different reasons why no support - but as a member of the blacks i'd be disappointed with absolutely none. its swotvac/assignment time so many would have hurried back to the books.

uni's c grade, more than any other side are affected by the a and b grade and with quite a few out in both grades, they get affected. many uni players are from the country/interstate or not within family groups so that portion of support is unable to be accessed.

with regards to the 7 reserves, leave it alone. the core are early to late 30's players who've played in that side for 5+ years - in some cases 10 years. then its got a heap of players from st marks residential college (country/interstate residential college) who want to play together because that's who they know in adelaide. i don't think that's such a bad thing especially since they may not be good enough to play higher.

uni sides are generally pretty similar in standard from b grade down - this means that the division that exists (often) ion district sides doesn't exist so much at uni - what it doesn't mean is that those players playing below would make a massive difference to the c grade. yes, some would be able to play but that's the beauty of tyhe amateur league - you often get to make that choice.

Good post Finn. For everyone else, unless you have played for Adel Uni you wouldn't understand.

BTW isnt every side going out to win every year? Who isnt hunting trophies?
