Adelaide Plains Football League

[RooShootOhh]

Sporting Pulse is what it is.

Not only, as mentioned previously, coaches dont put in their actual selections to through other teams off.

But it depends on how club B&F's a scored. 3 cards of 3-2-1. 5 cards of 5-4-3-2-1 etc...
If a club only gives 3-2-1, a bloke may be in the best every week on Sporting Pulse but is the 4th 5th or 6th best in each of those, then the possibility is he may not even poll in the B&F, yet has been in the best every week.

With multiple cards, obviously the coach doesnt have all 3 cards, so average Joe spectator may see it 100% differently to the coach anyway.

So while it provide some indication, B&F's are always an intereesting outcome.

I wonder if every League Medal winner has won their club B&F? I know not every brownlow winner has...

On that, OS, surely you have seen the invite list for medal count (is it this weekend?) by now, want to narrow down the list of potential winners for us please

It's that time of the year again. What are peoples thoughts on this weekends matches?

A: Two Wells v Virginia
B: United v Two Wells
U/17: Mallala v HWE
U/14: Two Wells v Mallala

Two Wells
United
Mallala
Mallala (if their college kids are playing in both grades)

No mad Monday today Haz?

No idea, not actively involved with A's this year, working too many weekends

[Hazbeen]

my predictions for B&F at clubs this year

Mallala J. Mongomerie/D King toss up here both the top 2 IMO
Two wells N. Seccafien should be winner
Virginia M. Young/B Russell both regularly features in the best C Howell a chance too
United K. Ettridge Just wins
Hamley V. Thach/Taylor/Herble my money is on Thach but its 1 of these 3
Balaklava H. Walker wins easy
Hummocks J Ciccalela run away winner

just my thoughts then again have missed a few games but the ones i did see all of the above were standouts IMO

Todd McPharlin will be up with Whiskey and Dean Storic for Peckers B & F

[Mythical Creature]

Heath Pym will win United's by the length of the straight.

Yep. Will be 5 in a row. Only another 8 more B&F's will be needed to pass his old man.

Do the B&F's still count if there won at South Gawler?

[ramsgate]

I hear medal invites were dished out tonight anyone know what two were invited from each club??

I am away this week, so no idea on invitations. I stand by my Pym call a few months ago.

Also like King, Taylor, Montgomerie and Howell as other contenders.

As far as I'm aware his old man never played for South Gawler.

[Lightning McQueen]

Nice try trying to twist it MC.

Not sure if the league has looked after the top 2 with this years finals draw.
The winner of two wells v Virginia gets a 14 day rest before playing the loser of Mallala v Hamley who will be coming of a 7 day rest. Assuming both games are hard and physical the extra 7 days rest could prove to be decisive.

Purely a monetary decision i've been told. The 4 week finals system has been used in many leagues for some time now, with league officials scared the attendance numbers would be down for 1st semi finals on sundays.

But the benefit of finishing top 2 is largely ineffective now.

its because the semi was always on fathers day. nothing about making money. Fathers day....

[Skip Dimes]

thats a good spin on it anyway...

[Lame Choice]

The season started earlier due to early Easter allowing both a Zone match bye and four week finals.

Also, for some mystical reason (probably based on weather, club participation etc.), the past Sunday finals have drawn bigger crowds than the preceeding Saturday game (only slightly though).

[barrys antz]

I hear medal invites were dished out tonight anyone know what two were invited from each club??

So who were the 2 from each club?? And will it change people's minds on the winner..

The benefit is pretty clear, teams get a second chance if they have a bad day.

and also a 14 day break leading into the GF if they win.
