Sorry, I forgot there was still football being played this week.
Watch out for random Mexicans hovering around Bice.
LGIL Why didn't common sense prevail and the Saturday A grade games move to Sunday.
Common sense? Why would Noarlunga wish to give Brighton an extra day's break? Why would Flagstaff Hill want one day less break? Why would the winner of Noarlunga and Brighton want to go into the GF with one day less break? Why would Christies Beach not want to welcome the good people of Noarlunga and Brighton to Bice? Flaggies & Reynella are already there.
In a year when the standard of umpiring was at an all time low ,how do we get 3 umps in finals? It should only be about quality and not quantity !
On the w/end I would like to congratulate the Brighton footy club on the win Saturday and wish them and the Reynella footy club all the best for the w/end.
PS Highlight for me was yesterday watching the President of Flaggies giving it to a twat from Flaggies that does that club no favours.
Mail medal tonight , My tip for A grade Sheerer and big Shane Comer to win the B grade . Good luck to all.
Maybe no-one is game to take on the Reynella U16's?
Assuming the SFL has overlooked slotting HV into the U16 GF spot it should be 1 v 2 in all the junior GF's which hasn't happened for a while. But the Senior GF's are 2 v 3 and 3 v 4.
Only 4 clubs represented this Saturday which is probably a first since the beginning of the final 8 in 2002.
Mail Medal pick: Coakley from CB to win with Shearer (FH) and Hoare (BDOS) also right in the mix.
Sporting Pulse has been updated and our 16s look forward to taking on wineflies this weekend. Disappointed our B grade didn't get the win over your mob yesterday DTH and must say would never have picked Brighton to have their 18s Bs and A grade in the GF but that's finals footy for you.
I deliberately put TOP instead of first because as you say, 4 weeks to go! Try and enjoy them!!
No follow up post King?
Please follow up King Also please comment on whether your club feel A grade achieved what they should of for the season? Nothing sinister just interested. Losing 1 game for the year and then losing 2 out of 3 finals with the one win being less than impressive IMO.

He might take awhile to reply. I imagine he is a bit busy running around trying to cancel that order of Premiers 2015 t-shirts made a few weeks ago.

Tough enough getting a beer out of King, let alone an order of shirts!

B Grade - Anthony May - Edwardstown C Grade - Adam Bettineschi- Brigjhton U18 - Bradley Patterson - Flagstaff Hill U16 - Joshua Walker - Christies Beach U14 - Tyler Oliver - Happy Valley
Let's get the facts right first guys. The coaches award is presented by SAFC and can only go to a club in its zone. That eliminates FH, HV, BDOS, MP, Marion, Cove and Etown for starters. Gianni and Mitts have probably won it before and possibly Cratey so If they try and give it to someone who hasn't won one previously, he was probably the best of the rest.
Highlights of the night were Gazza for the 3rd year in a row pronouncing Riddle as Ridley. I mean how hard is it to look at the name Riddle and pronounce it correctly. Maybe next year we might have Aussie cricketer Peter Sidley as a guest speaker. And the Prez who announced at the start of Round 18 counting that there were 2 rounds remaining when in fact there were 3 rounds left so everyone was getting excited during Round 19 voting when there was still a full 7 game round to count. Even Gazza was about to announce the winner after Round 19 thinking voting was completed. And in the U18, U16 and U14 Team of the Year, if you are going to invite the top 22 votegetters then why wouldn't you provide the votes for all those in the TOTY rather than just the top 10. We had 4 lads in the U18 TOTY who walked away without knowing their votes. Sure, our very efficient club secretary has facebooked the full voting at some ungodly hour but come on SFL. Lastly, Team Man of the Year has run its race. Some coaches rig the votes to guarantee a win for their club. The A grade winner polled 51 of a possible 54 votes. The joke is that the leading Goalkicker and Team Man get a massive trophy and a voucher or cash of $75 to $100 and the best player in the comp just gets a medal other than the Mail Medallist who I think gets something extra. Why not give each medallist a sponsors trophy in addition to the medal and the cash/voucher and do away with the team man votes. Coaches and team managers hate having to do them anyway. Other than that, not a bad night and run pretty smoothly for how much they get through.

Some good points there DTH. Just a note that HVFC is as of last year in the South Adelaide zone after the redistribution of the Port Adelaide zone.
