Great effort by MVP juniors but come on BDH no way you could effectively fit 6 teams training on that oval at the same time, must have been a quality session

I am glad for the first time in my life that the whole McSpaz family is currently down with gastro. I was dreading tomorrow. Hopefully no one says anything to the reporters - best thing to do now is to just shut up, I think. Sooner we can move on from this, the better.

I think you'll have to share the media spotlight with the Kilburn Football club. Former Div 1 premiers only had 14 on the field at one point last week, and are playing a 45 year old.
They got pumped by around 50 goals, so i think all the cameras will be at their game this week.

Time for the Sharks to announce the SOS ( save our sharks ) campaign. Similar what the Richmond footy club did when they were down and out in the late 80's ( Save our Skins). A chance to unite the club past players, supporters to put there hand up and show there true colours.

Some dirty stuff from the hackham boys today. That Sudanese player should be ashamed and have a nice little holiday but I'd doubt it.

Absolutely. We've got to get it going now, rather than waiting till the end of the season. Need a strong pitch to the local community, and target as many ex-Sharks as possible (that is, locals now playing elsewhere).

Clean sweep by Flaggies today

Stopped in at Hackham to have a look at the 2nd Half today. Have not seen a SFL game for a few years so was surprised to see Hackham win the 2nd half. Hackham seemed to have a reasonable game plan and used the open side to get some run into the game. The difference for me was when the ball was kept in tight Reynella were a lot stronger and cleaner with the ball.

Wasn't a bad game to watch and will try and get out to see more Grassroots footy when possible.

Although a big loss for the Cobras A grade for season 2014 it is great to see Matt Reavill having a run in the C grade, hopefully he gets the urge to play higher would be a really handy leader amongst the youngsters running around.. Although any young bloke having a run in the C grade will learn heaps from Reavill along with Luke Remfry and Matt Sloan fantastic experience.. Giving back to the club..

A bit of trivia. I'm not sure if its a record or not, but according to the scores on the SFL site there was 12 goals 7 behinds kicked in the last quater of yesterday's Morphett Vale v Aldinga B Grade game. That is significant as it amounts to 19 scoring shots during a quater which is meant to be only 20 minutes with no time on!!!! Assuming the ball went over the fence a few times during that scoring spree and allowing time for ball ups and kick ins, it is an amazing stat.

Ripper game of footy at Porties yesterday. Valleys had a few out and pretty young side but were strongly challenged by Porties all day and only got the break in the last quarter.
Porties will be around the mark this year I reckon

Wonder if this is the same kid that got reported in a townies v valleys game a few years back?

We haven't even started AUSKICK yet.
Got roughly 30 signed up, so imagine putting another 30 kids out there!
Moe has the unenviable task of coaching 31 under 8's, and it is arguably the longest hour of my week.

Hmmmm.
Some one knows Moe's history.
If only I knew whom Esteban was.

As expected the focus was put on Aldinga and the SFL once again.
Obviously the Sunday Mail were not keen to upset the SAAFL too much, being a significant customer with their page of results each week.

Yeah, not the most flattering write-up. Makes us sound like Cletus off the Simpsons. At least it was fairly positive regarding the club's future and juniors.

I saw the start of the B grade game and noticed 1 player wearing a different style Aldinga jumper to everyone else and surprise surprise that player was one of the photos in the Sunday Mail. We all knew the media were going to be there so if Aldinga didn't want to look like a club in dire straits, that didn't help.

Was DTH hanging around hoping for a TV cameo?
