Not much banter from the Happy Valley followers this week.
I would consider Jon Eagleton exceptionally lucky to be playing the last round, or the next 2-3 the following season.

Also heard about this. Assuming the regulars gave him some 'advice' when they left the field.

How is the felled fella Moe?

Will miss this week and maybe next week.

Was there a report Wheels?

Well that's twice this season that he's been lucky. First match of the year he "threw" an elbow, off the ball, and sent a Flaggies player to hospital.

No report, no free kick, after disposal and another elbow.
Right near fence near interchange gate.
The Morphy park regulars, including myself went nuts.
Umpires left the ground after full time a different way to usual
This was the worst incident in a day full of sniping from Happy Valley.

Take your blinkers off Moe - anyone would think your mob are a bunch of saints and I dont mean the Christies type

Why dont you concentrate on fixing your club getting some juniors and a B grade that score more than a point.

Hey, don't bring us into this

Changing the topic mister footy. Weren't talking about how bad our B grade is or even how bad your A grade are. Was about a poor effort from your so called golden boy.

I was at the game and the "attention" paid to Eagleton after he had disposed of the ball was a "poor effort" on MVP's behalf.

A few interesting games this week, will anyone take it easy leading into finals:

OSB/Lonsdale vs Cove - is this the last time they will play against eachother?
Aldinga vs Marion - Can Aldinga sneak their first win in the last round?
Hackham vs Christies - Christies by plenty. Will play the Emus next week (in 6th vs 7th)
Brighton vs Twisties - will finish 4th and 5th unless Happy Valley beat Noarlunga & Brighton win
Morphett Vale vs Flagstaff Hill- an Emus victory would drop Flaggies to 2nd behind Reynella on % - provided they beat Porties
Reynella vs Porties - only way Reynella can move from 2nd is above. Good game to freshen up the old legs
Vikings vs Noarlunga - a big enough Vikings victory could see them jump the idle Townies into 8th spot! Unlikely

Your joking aren't you. Which player ended up with and elbow to the head and was knocked out before he hit the ground? It wasn't Johnny. As I said, Golden boy.

No different to the best midfielders in the AFL, the best midfielders in the SFL are masters at drawing contact as they dispose of the footy which in turn can draw a free kick or a free downfield often resulting in a kick for goal. Any player who gets bumped or tackled as they are about to dispose of the ball is always going to look as though they have been hit late but that is why they are so good, because they have the poise to cleanly dispose of the ball even with players bearing down on them.

Players like Eagleton, Bayly, Johnstone etc. will always look to come off second best in any contact situation because of their size. Supporters need to understand this before they think their favourite players are continually targeted.

Sidenote - I notice another favourite son of the Vikings copped a 3 game suspension in the SAAFL recently. Two solid suspensions in 3 seasons.

What do you mean by this??

Just a playful theory LGIL, from the outside it appears both clubs are struggling and they aren't too far away from eachother...therefore 'LionCobras'

Unless of course Christies would like to take them over to bolster the C-grade and have the St Lions? lol

Anyone got any 'actual' news on club movements either in, out, folding or merging for 2016?

They are also coached to draw the opponent to them and release at the last moment as this takes that opponent away from the receiver.

Maybe the Sheidow Snakes!!!

Aren't 't you the bloke that kept insisting there was noth g wrong with the behind the play hit on the Townies player in 2013 semi final was all OK coz the culprit is a 'good bloke'? Your opinion and comments count for nothing.

You forgot to mention our pasty shaped oval & the over hanging tree as well.
Our B grade might have only scored a point, but we fielded a side.
We also have juniors as well, just not the "full contingent" on Saturdays like we all keep being reminded about by everyone.
Our Auskick is strong, under 8's, 10's, 12's, 16's & 18's.
We have 4 primary schools which feed us players, only 1 of those has a football program.
We have 1 high school in our zone, which doesn't have a sports program let alone football.
We draw players from Sacred Heart, which puts college football first.
We are busting our nuts trying to get juniors, trust me I know as I am a junior coach.
Since Glengowrie High closed in 1987 our senior colt numbers have never recovered. Before that our senior colts were very strong. I know as I played in an Under 18 premiership.
Maybe change your name to "Mister I have no effing idea about Footy".

Absolutely no different to the "attention" paid to Byron Murphy all day.
"Poor effort" would describe elbows to face/head after disposal.

Possibly not quite the context that Mister Footy used:

Definitely - a legend on the field and a gentleman off the field and one of the greatest captains our club has ever had

Keep digging LGIL, there were plenty of posts in a couple of threads on the issue, Mister Footy definately excusex the culprit be ause he's a 'good bloke' in more than one post. Pretty sure he also was of the opinion he shouldn't cop the abuse he does from the sidelines. The amount of defending Mister Footy does for the culprit suggests a huge man crush.
