Anyways, was a real shame the 2 best sides didnt play off in the gf lastyear,i can just imagine the crowd that would of been there and the drinks after the game with ALL the players after another sals west v rosies gf..def drives me for this year..fingers crossed..


I know you want a reply Catchit....

1. If Rosies were one of the best 2 sides then they really shouldnt have won the whole thing, but no, you didnt so get over it. The reason Westies have had succuess in recent times is the strength in being a team and everyone knowing their role, half of Rosies side last year were individuals, hence why you were no 2.

2. The crowd? Well on the Sunday afternoon I thought the crowd wasnt too bad, the lack of numbers from lodge were because we had 4 sides playing in grand finals, sorry not all members can attend each game. But like i said, the sunday afternoon (once we won 2 others flags) crowd was good and there were easily more BL supporters than R&C. Why was that?

3. You'd be happy to socialise with the winning team after the game and drink? Didnt seem like that last year after you limped off sooking..... I think if you were on the winning side then maybe a different story but you'd be such a gracious winner wouldnt you!

4.You got your reply ;)

I am over it mate, was just stating that sometimes the best team doesnt win..
Funny you say we are individuals? Was it groover reminding sibb of how many runs he is behind him? was it ciffilis who said I couldnt give a shit about this game?
Good reply though ;)

Being competitive is one thing but comparing runs against sibb is just silly.. Never will it be a case of no groover no brahma...oh hang on your scorer might disagree with that one..

Rumour has it manbitesdog might be going to brahma? If this is the case can you imagine him and groover in the same side? Who said you need 11 blokes in a cricket team?
I hate seeing head clashes but with these 2 running between the wickets albion better create a very good helmot next season..

Have heard of a couple of clubs starting indoor net sessions late July or early August.

Way too early for us old blokes.

I agree with Catchit, Sunday after AFL GF but will miss that day to as I get back from Melbourne and head to AAMI for SANFL GF.

I heard that Craigmore are staking claims that they'll be in Grade 1 this season, any truth mate? Some sort of constitutional by-law?

wouldnt suprise me... the amount that club overrates itself, next they will be talkin about winning grade 1 premierships. i think they might wanna work on actually make grade 2 grand finals before they start dreaming of even playin in div 1. maybe there is a bit of premature hope as papas was telling me all last season that the montgomery twins will be playin at craigmore, he was 99% sure they would be there.

Someone mentioned this to me the other week and tried to explain it "constitutionally" that the 2 lowest teams in Gr1 last year have to go down as per the association rules or something.
We are planning on being in Grade2.

As for F2F, I rate Craigmore! I reckon the club has come leaps and bounds!
We strive to make Grade 1 again one day, we strive to make finals every year as all clubs do.
As we all know though, nothing is concrete till the season starts, players, gradings etc.. the only thing that is concrete these days is the fact that your a knob and its only a matter of time till you say something stupid! :P
With that... a slight deflection to the next topic!

Wow some great posts to catch up on

Catchit you are sook move on and to everyone that says the best side doesnt always win well what garbage the best team does not necessarily the most talented

Grahaml throwing stones cause a club mIves out of the comp mm I seem to remember your church's experiment and you are right wasn't for grading but if my memory serves correctly was cause a player didn't win an association trophy as they weren't there to collect it - at least the lodge are moving to better the club as a whole

Also I don't think you would see Sibbs fill in any side we had in PDCA as last time he played C grade after his shoulder op he made a first baller :shock:

Hasn't he cleared that up enough yet? catchit was never approached and had never announced any intentions of coming to Smithfield. He got a mention after SYL had announced some intention to suit up for us for 11/12.
You are barking up the wrong tree Browny, catchit and I had a brief discussion about it on GF day and that was only because somebody else brought it up while we were both there.
Would love to have Legs steaming in from the Creek end and catchit keeping the young fella's mind on track in the top order but we wont pursue it too hard, we'll just continue to develop our kids and hopefully snare someone that wants to bring some experience and idea's to our great club.
We have a great bunch socially, good incentives and a bright future, a year in Grade 1 already has given our youth the taste that's required to want to remain a part of it and gradually become successful.

Hang on a minute.

He won the award fair and square. So the fact he wasn't there on time (he did make it there) suggests he isn't the McKenzie Madallist ?? Outrageous. The club backed a bloke in and had a crack elsewhere.

A bit different than whinging about grading issues after you leave the competition.

Apples and Oranges bud.

Probably, but no-one really cares about your opinions. At the end of the day the side that got picked still won, enough said.

Groover.. I am not having a dig at the team that won on the Adelaide oval, I am saying that not always the most talented side wins... So don't get your hair up mate cause you would look like a meer cat on the look out
