What happened to Christies ? Can you shed some light on this incredibly lame performance Dilligaf ---- 2-0 for the entire day.
We know that when this happens to Hackham or the Sharks its because they simply don't have the cattle, but a finals contender should have more than two shots at goal.

Perhaps they could try attacking the football.

Does anyone know what happened in the b grade game at Pt Noarlunga on the weekend? something about too many players on the ground for Porties? Did they end up losing the game?

Anyone shed any light over a deal Hackham have struck up with moving their pokies to the Aussie Inn which is set to provide them with a very large revenue stream into the future. This was being discussed by a few blokes while having a few quite ones the other night down at the pub anyone else heard anything about this?

True. The Hackham community centre will keep about 15 pokie machines the rest will be leased
out, most are going to the Aussie inn. Don't know about the large revenue but would say the football club would not see a lot of it.

Plenty of talk on our game but I guess a top of the table clash will do that. Not one Reynella player has given any excuses and we won't be giving any in the future. You can only play with the side that's on the park and Brighton definitely showed they were the better side on the day. They were a lot more accurate than us, played in front of their man all day and rewarded each other all day. Like it has been said, we had similar scoring shots up to probably the last 10 minutes of the game and they were a lot more accurate than us (even if you couldn't tell because of the short posts! ).
Ladies day was a huge success for the club and I think the Reynella boys want to offer the Brighton ladies their own Ladies day up at our club.. WOW!!!
And DTH I have donated my money to a very worthy cause i've put it on the bar at the RFC for Brighton "Ladies Day"...
And can you ask that bloke on your team with the orange rug where he got it so I can get one!!!

[Panther32]

Oh and I don't know if I would say the ground was in mint condition, the middle was very muddy and very hard to get grip, but you can't expect too much with a turf cricket pitch and the amount of rain we had!!!

Does anyone know what happened in the b grade game at Pt Noarlunga on the weekend? something about too many players on the ground for Porties? Did they end up losing the game?

word i got from a mate tonight was that with about 5 mins to go play count was called by marion, porties had 19 on, scored wiped, game continued and porties won. dont quote me though, just on the grape vine. mustnt have been a big score for marion i suspect

The Brighton team did play well all there outside players we great.But dont forget reynella had 9 out and a coach that cant coach,he gave no positives all day.

Sounds like you're a big fan of Murdoch, Joseph. I think saying that the 9 missing, if that number is accurate, are genuine best 21 players is a bit rich. If so, you name me the 9 players out there yesterday who don't make Reynella's best team. And we don't have "outside" players at Brighton, just inside players who can play outside. And I hope P32 donates his player payment to his favourite charity.

And BTP, playing anything but Association footy on June long weekend is ridiculous. All community leagues and other community sports have this weekend off and many people plan trips and other social things months in advance. You also being a great cricket loving man know that local cricketers love their mid-season break of 2 weeks at Xmas as do the footballers and probably moreso the administrators enjoy the week off in June each year.

The downside to having inside players that can play outside, is that if they stay outside when
it is there turn to go inside, they can get turned inside out and upside down.
And that's when you can bomb out.

Don't know if you are talking about Christies, Hackham or Aldinga, Ol man, but I saw the Saints and they were absolutely woeful.
Hackham playing badly got smashed by fifty, and still managed more than Christies
2-0 from a finals contender ---- if they make it after that it'll be a mockery of the whole finals system

[AFLflyer]

May as well put my 2C in from the weekend.
Flies got smashed.
hopefully the stir they need.

huge win for Brighton, cause they will most likely play Cove first in the finals now and flies will have a MUST win against MVale.

Hopefully this contest is replayed in the GF.

and yes, those posts are a laughing stock, would hate to be a goal umpire.

[Down the Hill]

A few things from the weekend. Recent history shows that many results in the latter half of the season between top sides have been reversed in the finals so the Bombers are under no illusions that Saturday's win gives them any sort of egde on anyone. It just re-inforces that we are in the mix - yet again.

On our Goal posts. Yes they are short and we are in the process of hopefully getting them replaced for 2011, along with new match grade lights (fingers crossed). Big goal posts make the goal umpires job too easy so at least they earn their pay at Brighton.

Ladies Day - no-one does a Ladies Day like the Bomber WAGS. Added to a great atmosphere and I reckon the best home crowd we have had at Brighton since joining the SFL. Credit to the Reynella crew who were there in big numbers.

Interesting comment from Squawk about Brighton looking small. We aren't a huge side but any team playing Reynella looks small. Whether they are the tallest team in the comp or its those guernsies but we always look small against Reynella in all grades.

Lastly, one for the record books and maybe some research for BTP. Morphett Vale kicked 51 goals on Saturday yet no player kicked more than 6. Must be close to an Australian Record let alone a SFL record.

[BFG]

went down and caught the last half of the birghton reynella game as well as hundreds of others on saturday, one thing that struck me in the third quarter and in the last 15 of the last quarter that i dont think has been mentioned yet were brighton having 1-2 more blokes at a lot of contests and i rekon thats why they kicked away, plus they couldnt miss a kick at goal if they tried. if its true about reynella having all thse players out ill definately be coming out to watch if theres a rematch in september!

[Squawk]

Really, Brighton seemed to lack height when I say they looked small. They certainly had a few stocky frames running around but as I said, it was hard to pick a ruckman for them at times.

It was interesting that Reynella seemed to dominate the first 10 minutes of both the third and fourth quarters, but couldn't make it count on the scoreboard because they seemed to kick points rather than goals. Also, their entry to the forward line was often via the pockets whereas Brighton seemed to straighten up through the corridor and CHF which makes kicking for goal so much easier.

I mentioned the lack of rotations at this level but failed to mention that I also enjoyed the lack of zoning - great to see plenty of 1 on 1 contests.

I didnt get out to the centre circle (which was muddyish without being wet) but certainly the wings, flanks and 50m areas were in good knick for a suburban ground I thought.

Having said Brighton were smaller, they certainly made up for this with their runners. Reynella were seemingly much more kick to kick to handball, whereas BDOS often had runners going past a contest to take the ball - either inside or outside.

I also noticed the red rug for BDOS and thought it was pretty unique That didn't give me the same laugh though as when the Reynella(?) runner tried to mark the ball from behind the boundary line whilst sitting in a deck chair - ended up collapsing, breaking another plastic chair and even the players were laughing as much as the crowd was!

Word is ...extra player was on only for approx. 2 mins at start of last quarter......he realised he wasnt meant to be on the field.....came off the ground, Marion runner or captain called for player count.....found 18 on the field...plus 1 that went off(he was already off the ground when the umpires called for a head count)....Umpires stated there was 19 men on the field, and they would send info to the SFL......Nobody knew what would happen with the result......Only 1 goal was scored with extra player on field.....Its up the SFL now..

When it happened against us the score got kept and went to the tribunal and got wiped off the emus score. Pretty sure that was what happened anyway

That player who was on for 2 mins kicked a goal in that time,then went off! Game restarted at Marion 2-5 Pt Noar 0-0 so i heard...
Final result Marion 2-5 Pt Noar 1-3. Up to SFL what happens next, but Marion could do with an extra player on the field all the time!

Thanks guys will be interesting to c what happens.

Thought that was one of the funniest things ive seen for a while on a footy field. Livened up the day for a depressed Reynella supporter.

1st beat 2nd on the weekend by ten goals maybe we need 4 divisions in the sfl to save 2nd on the ladder from getting smashed every time they play top
