HFL Division 1 (Central)

[Boundary rider]

lofty came away happy with a bit of a fight for a win with wood, bawden, both temme bros, artis, and ben gordon to be back into side for next game. also matt baldock played b's so would expect him back in the a's with in a week or 2.

fleet too good for chris shee on the weekend too, wouldve looked worse if lockie had kicked straight..

GTS I hope you arent taking anything away from Onkas, they too were missing some key players in Smith and Wescombe and i believe had Patching kicked straight (i think it was 6 behinds) the scoreline may have been quite different.

[Silky skills]

also another thing added to the Hahndorf Birdwood game, i think we have a new Nash starks mum/ mrs murphy... for all the people who play birdwood i would like to know your thoughts, and if she better then mrs stark

Bet all the recruit$ playing for handorf got a shock when they saw that oval!

that's rich coming from a team that play on a ten cent piece sand pit.

[GetTheSherrin]

BR, not at all mate. just stating that any win is a good win when ur team is so depleted of numbers. over the last few yrs weve always had tough battles with onkas and its good to get past blackwood and onkas with a 2-0 record.. also thought steve tanners game was awesome, did everything he couldve to try to get the dogs up and almost did in the second half. wouldve laid 20 tackles in the 2nd half..

Not a bad call seeing that Shee stood Bruce Dawes!

[GetTheSherrin]

well he was right next to fleet when he took all his marks in the 2nd half.

Does anyone know the reasoning behind Bridgy and birdwood playing on Sunday this week?

[dangermouse]

Well done Fleety, not a bad return for apparently the worst payer in the comp! Also, good to see some young fellas stepping up with a few more established players missing- David Abernethy in particular. By far his best game for the club that I have seen.

Anzac day on Saturday, meaning no sport can be played until 12:00.

[Bat Pad]

Tips for this round, could be a wet one:

Mt Lofty vs Ironbank - Lofty by 13 goals
Bridgewater vs Birdwood - Birdwood by 4 goals
Hahndorf vs Lobethal - Hahndorf by 15 goals
Uraidla vs Mt Barker - Uraidla by 7 goals
Blackwood vs Onkas - Blackwood by 2 goals

Is the devs game a night game this week?

I think you'll find a much improved devils side over the coming weeks. Has been a slow start as was the case last year which can be forgiven...i'm still hungover from mad monday...not to mention the footy trip!

And Boundary rider, i'm taking away plenty from onkas...apart from the Temme bros...those four super stars missing from a side would leave a huge gap in any side, but we still did you boys in. I'm tipping a a belting in the return fixture. By then we should haev it out of first gear.

With the Temme brothers and Bawden out, who rucked for Lofty on Saturday?

yeah the devs game is a night game and Joel brown rucked nearly all day for lofy...
cant take anything away from onkas but lofty never really looked like losing the game... watch out for the next few weeks when they get back to full strength and start smashing sides..

[BOOted]

Can anyone inform me of whether Both Justin and Luke Curtis are at Birdwood or is it just Justin who has been there for years. Also how is Josh Davis going as new Captain of a new side who seem to be the improvers so far.

Is that the same Joel Brown who used to play at uraidla or the one from Modbury as a junior

I thought there was the Lofty Friday night match and a Bridgy Sunday game with the rest played Saturday. Are they only playing A's & B's to get around the time constraints?

That's what I thought too.

[dangermouse]

I am fairly certain Lofty's game is a Saturday night game, not Friday night.

Did someone say the Bridgy V Birdwood game will be a good measuring stick for both sides???
Please explain how two teams who struggled last year can tell where they are at by playing each other??
I think people are getting a little carried away here... two games into the season not ten! Lofty is always a late blossomer often having a tight win or loss in the first three games. Hahndorf has an abundance of new players, which means it will take time to perfect game plans, structure etc... Wouldn't be calling resurgances too early, though it is good to see some tighter score lines!

your missing the point.

no-one's saying that bridgy or birwood are premiership favourites, but the game will provide a good measuring stick as to how much they've both improved relative to each other. Bridwood beat bridgy in both games last year - bridgy appear to have recruited more heavily during the off-season - so this game will show us something.

sorry if you think that the competition revolves around mt lofty.
