CH9AFL Division 5, 2016

[zedman]

It's his 2nd, his first was with Flinders Park back in 2013

correct FC..a very worthy winner..

want to wish the div 5 grand finalists tomorrow the best of luck..as bloodhound said, they were the form teams of the division when it mattered..should be perfect conditions..i think the panthers win if they bring last weeks energy..the only doubt i have is their lack of a genuine tap ruckman..but if their midfielders are able to nullify the hectorville mids at the stoppages and win the contested ball then they will be well on the way to winning..

mighty hounds: heard about your serious injury..hope you are recovering well..hang in there..

Best of luck to all the teams playing in tomorrow's big games. Absolutely spewing I can't be there to watch this weekend I have followed this Division quite closely this season and expect both games to be cracking contests.

Lockleys look to have hit the form they had mid season and accounted fairly easily for CBOC last weekend. They have what looks to be a pretty experienced group and on the big day that could count in their favor. One the other hand is Pulteney who have done a fantastic job to reach their 2nd GF in a row. I have seen them only a couple of times this year and they looked for younger than Lockleys so maybe the big spaces will help them. I'll tip Pulteney in a close one under 2 goals with scoring goals going to be difficult. BOG William Darley.

In the big one of the day Smithfield are in the best form anyone has produced this season. Talk about finding your groove when it counts and timing your run to perfection. The fire power up forward is going to really test the stingiest defense and normally defence beats attack but in this case I think it might end up too much for the Hounds. No doubt Hectorville have been the most consistent petformers this season and will back their defensive structures all the way home. They have a quality mid field and probably go a little deeper through there. I'm sticking with the Panthers in another close one 13 pts the winning margin. BOG Mark Garner.

Well done to martinello,he was clearly the best man to take home the medal in our division. All the best lockleys reserves, how good would it be to win from 4th position.also top effort from Mick lane from Smitty to come in equal 3rd for the medal.

Geez Lockleys coaching staff today.. Not real sure if there was much thought process behind anything that was said, or tactical moves during the game. Who swaps a ruckmen at CHB all day and sprays their lads at half time when they are looking down the barrel of a certain loss? A bit of constructive criticism would have been the way to go with a team as young as that. Poor form by the ressies coach there, probably explains the amount of sackings he's had over the years.

I suspect it is a reference to Pulteney

Absurd really

I can with the utmost confidence say that all this talk is complete bullshit. This club has a very strong B grade and C grade yet lacks the top end quality in their A's. I guess the fact that both the B's and Cs played in Grand Finals last year and the A's lost 6 games under 10 points probably confirms what I'm saying.

Pulteney would have loved nothing more to avoid relegation but they simply didn't have the cattle this year. I think you will find the B grade coach who went there last year has brought close to 30 players with him.

If Gapogreco puts his filthy head in at Greenacres, there will be a revolt.

A club wants to freefall through the grades as part of a grand plan to disappear?

Yes obviously they played their players in the B's this season so they could win a flag and watch their A's get relegated I'm sure that the club would allow this it makes perfect sense.

Some of those "B graders" are undoubtedly better than a lot who played A's this year, if what I'm hearing is correct they have a number of players that don't want to play up a grade because they only want to play with their mates, if that's the case it's detrimental to the whole club and they should do the team (club) thing or be shown the door

[oldman]

Yes you are all correct. As we all know the things others "hear" and then post in this forum is actual and fact. Funny thing is I coach this team and who would know better you or me? Maybe these guys should get some respect and credit for what they did yesterday and this year. We played over 60 players this season in our B grade due to injuries and guys going away for different reasons. Our B&F and VC didn't play yesterday after doing a hamny Tuesday night at training as has been said before a very strong club at B grade level and C grade level and make no mistake that's not the success we are after but you take it when you can.

You are all entitled to your opinion but sometimes others know the facts and this is one of those times.
