SAAFL Division 4 2014

[BZB27]

We need a big lift for next week against Golden Grove otherwise we will get embarrassed in front of our past players and premiership reunions day.

Any truth that A.Didak will be getting a permit and pulling the boots this week?

I think its unlikely coz havnt heard anything about it. I think next year is when he will play a few games because that is our clubs 100th year.

Would of been nice to have him running around this week though

[easy TIGA]

frustrating.

I hope you didn't want more than a one word answer

The 2 wing nuts in white wouldnt have helped your cause. Some baffling decisions.

[BurraBoys]

Baffling decisions both ways. I just hope we get better quality in finals

woodville south B grade umpire a spud and a cheat after half time went out of his way to bring them back into the game

another funny thing a supporter from woodville south in his club colours yelling out abuse towards goal umpire our umpire paid a free kick for it and the woodville south umpire said no free kick we dont know who it was seems protecting the club and that sort of shit is more important then protecting a goal umpire from abuse who just so happens to be a 18 year old girl


well done spuds

Happy to own up that it was me that yelled from the sidelines.

Not at any stage did I abuse the umpire. I did not believe it was the umpire's fault at all. I had a crack at the player for claiming a goal that clearly wasnt there, and the player's reaction suggested as such.

I don't believe abuse to umpires, particularly club ones, is appropriate as it is hard enough to find volunteers. I just don't like seeing players try to manipulate inexperienced officials, which is exactly what he did.

my advice to you would be maybe next time when you yell out put the baby down and then maybe you go be the goal umpire you seem to be in the best position to make the calls from under the verandah

and how did he manipulate an offical she gave it a goal then you started yelling out

My issue was he celebrated prior to the umpire calling it a goal, and his reaction after it was called a goal indicated to me he knew he had managed to get away with one. Not sure what you heard me say, but I believe it was along the lines of "you should be ashamed of yourself for claiming that one"

Umpiring is a hard gig, hence why I was not bagging her, as I stated before. If she feels it was directed at her, for that I do apologise.

I agree that yelling whilst holding my baby was not appropriate and would do things differently in that regard if I had my time again. Still don't believe my fellings are any less valid.

In any case, what I felt at the time and what you saw / interpreted are different and what I say won't convince you otherwise. I can see how you may feel I was directing my frustration at the umpire, but it was certainly towards the player.

On a football note, that decision did not affect the outcome of the game, but that player certainly did. His 10 mins in the second quarter was as good as you will see from a small forward.

Is it true they are doing the Div 3 & 4 gf's with the same setup as Div 1 & 2?? As in, playing both divisions gf's at the same ground on the same day?? Or, have I heard wrong???

Pretty sure that is correct, on consecutive weekends at thebby

[BurraBoys]

Yuck....not sure im a fan of the proposed GF day. Please don't take this as getting ahead of myself. Im very aware that we actually need to win a finals game to get there but let's take the hypothetical of a club having both their a and b grade in the big dance.

From what I have heard, the d4r game will be played at 9am followed by the d3r game and subsequently the d4 game etc.I understand what the league is trying to do. Get more people to the ground. Create more atmosphere, sell more booze etc. but honestly, I can't see many agraders getting to the ground at 9am when their game doesn't start until 1.30/2pm. Messes with routine and leaves you waiting way to long. It would be a shame for the bgrade side not to have the support of their mates.

Has the league considered the consequence of the potential winning team getting in the gas from 11.30, and solidly celebrating until 3.30/4pm when the d4 game finishes?

If it ain't broke, don't fix it

[heater31]

Well the alternative is to utilise SANFL grounds of which have similar facilities to Thebarton.


Clearly given the reported issues in the past Grand Finals the league have identified that it indeed is broke so it needs to be fixed.

Sadly a minority ruin it for the masses....

[Footy Chick]

I think it's a matter of ground shortage more than anything.

Cant use most SANFL grounds

Port won't let us touch Alberton, Norwood is Coopers so that's a no go, Westies already being used and most clubs with fenced off grounds have indicated that they won't have finals because a) the tender process has been made too expensive or, b) their club is taking part in finals and don't want to have volunteers miss out on the game.

It can make for a bit of a logistical nightmare and this would be why Super Satdee was invented.

But your'e right, it's not the best of initiatives, I'd be pretty annoyed if I had to start taping folk at 7.30am for a 9am start. (Grateful for being in a GF but still annoyed at the early start)

PM Executive member, it was his idea

[Hefty]

Don't let a northern suburbs club host a GF...........problem solved

easy don't charge. It is the amateur league after all.

[Robb_Stark]

if they dont charge to go watch a grand final you would have some great ovals on offer to use

[S Demon]

If any club wants to hire our oval out for the day after they've paid the league to win the tender, happy to talk..

Geebus! Better late than never Pulteney...

Geebus! Better late than never Pulteney...

Did they win?

By about a goal.
