7 goals over Yank is anything but more run and more polish..... Honeymoon's over....

[LuvsFooty]

Wasnt the best game out at Yank, but after 5 losses we will certainly take the win. Yank only went down to VH by 4 last week so I dont think they are an easy push over like your suggesting Jimmy. Having said that we face a red hot Strath this week so its back to the grind stone

[ohh i dunno]

Willunga easy over Mclarens by about 25, only downside for willunga guitink maybe out suspected broken wrist.

[The Dutchman]

What "honeymooon" is that Jimmy?
Hard to see your logic when you are critical of previous wooden spooners getting a 7 goal win...

Enjoyed the day at Willunga and watched a very good Willunga against a young Mclaren.

When Willunga have lads like Hasket on the wing it is almost cheating and any of the onballers lift there eyes they have options all over the place going forward.
Felt sorry for a couple of the lads in Mclaren's back half as they were out of their depth in height and skill.
On a positive for the Vale was the young lads in both A and B grade but I cant say the same for Willunga with a lot of older lads in the B grade and bar Young Joel am I the next Cossgrove Garrett and Guitnick? the side has a lot of ageing lads.

The blonde lad no11 who started at fullback and also had a run in the ruck,did he play at Morph Park?

On a lighter note you have to love the goal ump in his jeans looking the part? and the Mclaren girl running water in the A grade made the day for all the lads am sure. Also I am sure the Willunga boys were happy to hand over the new jumper with the rectangle on the front?

Agreed.

While alot of the Willunga boys are getting a bit long in the tooth there was still 10 or 11 under 25's in that side. Mitch Portlock chaperoned a bunch of the young lads for a bit of a night out last night which was good of him.

The blonde lad no11 who started at fullback and also had a run in the ruck,did he play at Morph Park?

Certainly did. Bruce "Bruiser" Huizink. AKA The flying dutchman.

and the Mclaren girl running water in the A grade made the day for all the lads am sure.

What a dirty tactic to try and put the Willunga boys off their game!! With her short shorts, sparkling blue eyes and offers of refreshment to opposition players. I'm thinking of lodging an official complaint to the league

Good day at the Bay on Saturday. There's some real polish coming into the Creeks game now as the side balances, although their was times in the game on the weekend where they tried to be a little bit cute and came undone.

Gotta say I was a little dissapointed with some of the negative Bay tactics on the weekend. One of the Creek midfielders was flipped over and slammed into the turf after the ump had blown his whistle for a ball up which was unecessary and resulted in the bloke getting concussion (not even so much as a free kick from the umpire either, don't get me started there!). Also I think Sherwood was given one to the ribs in a pack.

Some people would say that's just footy, but I don't like that kinda stuff, it's unecessary and degrades the game.

[The Yetti]

Willunga certainly did a job on the Mclaren Boys yesterday.
They were awesome
First give, clean, plenty of run and skilfull
Thomas was very good, followed by Portlock, Haskett and Hams with young Woolford playing a pretty good game. Hamsy must have stretched his 1970 shorts at half time because he started to lead in the second half and with delivery from Portlock and Roberts on the chest he was unstoppable.
McLaren was served pretty well by Brett Smith and Dave Kahl with youngsters Evan Williams and Simon Pistilli who had a crack.

Would think that Guitink has a broken Wrist after the way he fell on it and Todd Steele's knee looks to be a bit of a problem.

Past players day was good and enjoyed the catch up with some of the old team-mates.

YOU'RE JOKING!!! a cheap shot in the ribs in a pack in a agame of football??! surely not!

but then you go on and say that "thats footy". yeh, i agree, it is unecessary, but EVERY team does it EVERY week, and i wouldn't be surprised if a majority of blokes on this forum have done it themselves, myself included!

so no point getting on a public forum and having a whinge about it, as you said, "thats just footy". it is as "footy" as a player trying to kick a goal.

[Grape Ape]

The GSFL is a bit different to the SFL TBB. We try and win matches by kicking a bigger score.

Guitink dislocated and broke his wrist - not pretty. Had surgery last night and I wish him a speedy recovery.

I'm not having a whinge, I'm just putting it out there for discussion. It's the eternal footy debate really, what constitutes acceptable niggle, and what is simply out and out thuggery? (just my general observations - not directed at the Bays or any other team in particular!).

I'm just suggesting that I prefer it when a game is decided by skill, flair, and a fierce competition for the footy. Not by who can give the best rib-ticklers under the pack.

Probably a good discussion topic/poll for the general country footy forum actually.

Toughen up Princess. We aren't playing netball

[kappars]

Unnecessary hits behind play, sly punches at the bottom of the pack should be ousted. No place for it, but we do need to keep the fair bumps, hip n shoulders, etc. Stuff when the ball is dead, or th ball isn't near aren't necessary. It's not a case of 'toughen up princess ' it's just not necessary, and is not in the spirit of the game. Beat 'em fairly and on the scoreboard.

i didnt see anything dirty in the bay game on saturday but its not to say that it didnt happen or isnt happening in the league itself. I suggest it comes down to the umpires, we dont seem to have a middle level as a standard, we either have an umpire that is old school and lets everything go (which is what i prefer because i am slow) or an umpire that is hot on every little touch, bump, swear word etc. I havent had popey umpire me at the bay yet but looking foward to it as i have heard some pretty good reviews and he is apparently in that middle ground bracket that lets the game flow but still gives what is deserved.

Yep, as far as I'm concerned that stuff isn't tough, it's cowards work. Give a bloke one while he's not looking/pinned/under a pack/the ball is dead etc just ain't something to be proud of in my book.

And if I'm a princess Yetti, then Australia says No, haven't you see those adverts?

Yea, it wasn't rife or anything Cuzzy, the Bays weren't wondering around belting everyone or anything like that, there was just a couple of instances that were a bit unecessary that's all. Probably born out of frustration at getting beaten fairly convincingly, can quite often happen. I agree too, I reckon the umpires have a lot to do with it, they didn't really have control of the game Sat and were very reactionary. Again this causes frustration which can escalate.

Heatbreaking to hear that the big GOOCH has had another setback... this bloke has the worst luck. I've known him for about 6 years and in that time he has had three major knee operations, now a broken arm, smashed up face and many soft tissue injuries.

having done alot of preseason work with this bloke, i know for a fact that he works as hard, if not harder than anyone going around and only wants to be out on the field.

all the best for your recovery big guy

[Dewkicker]

LF, are we going to see the big unit, John "AK" Jarred suit up in the prison bars after being sacked last week by Kybybolite for refusing to play in the Bs ?

was wondering how long it would last. 10 weeks, 10 more than i thought it would

Gingernuts, i hate this sort of crap also and think that its got no place in the game. i myself have never done this sort of thing and never would. some people need to have a good hard look at themselves. i was tought as a youngster, play hard, play fair, but always in the spirit of the game.

[A Mum]

Does anyone know who our 'GSFL' representatives are for the 4th of July Country Championships at Port Pirie.

I see that representing us in the coaching side of things is Barry Pilmore and Darren Twigden
