[bays10]

who was good for the bays yesturday? i know its still 10 goals but by all reports leading up it was going to be more.

Difficult conditions at the bay yesterday, a big oval and windy made it tough to score into the breeze and also with it! To the bays credit they battled hard all day. Cam Lintern down back was very good, leads by example for his team and was very good! The Baggs boys always find the footy, brown and butler worked hard in the middle and Harvey had a presence up forward.

For us Glass, Brown and Haskett were very good and provided great rebound from defence, Miegel in his first game did some very good things along with Delaney and Hams and Guitink presented strongly up front and have us a great target. Young Jake Standfield rucked very well for us. We overused the handball and tried to run hard but let ourselves down with some of our decision making! Plenty of upside and a 71 point win is a good start.

willunga were a quaility outfit but in saying that Bays did have opportunities to make the score more respectable but couldnt convert, think you will find we will suprise a few teams this season. Talking to Hams in the club after he said there are 6 walk up start A grade players and then 20 guys that will rotate each week through the A's and B's going on form. This makes a very strong club and surely premiership fav's in both grades. The question is though how long are the guys like Rob Mcard etc (think there was 4 players in the b grade all valued at 3 point) going to like sitting in the twos. Will be interesting if you can keep these guys motivated each week if all the A grade is performing. But once again credit to willunga, good win.

Did Hams name the 6 bays10?

[bays10]

Did Hams name the 6 bays10?

na mate but you could probably guess who the 6 are! portlock, hasket, hams and so on

[The Yetti]

Did Hams name the 6 bays10?

I think Steele, Thomas, Genovese are 3 of those 6 GA

Yank ran out winners by 98 pts at Goolwa today. all footy grades won today which is first time in many a year for that to happen.

No real suprises here considering the side we had on the park... Yank played a good brand of footy. I would recommend that opposition coaches do some solid research on Yank because there are very few players that would be recognisable to GSFL followers (i counted 6 guys from our round 15 clash last year) and the new blokes can play. They look to be in a similar position to what we were last season and could be dangerous. A big thanks thanks to Matt Doyle. The only Yank player to come and have drink afterwards at the club.

Spot on LF. Dropped in and had a bo-peep. Some big boys down at Yank this year. No 17 for Goolwa (Full Forward)could lose a Kg or 2, but apart from that you guys looked pretty fit.

I think no.17 needs to head back to where he belongs......the magoos

Good hit out at Pongy yesterday. Close game with Sherwood & Big Matty James being the difference at the end. McGregor & Basir look to be handy players aswell. No trouble with the creek boys sticking around for a drink after the game. Get your car started Limb?

Also a huge night for the club with the players auction, well supported by all. After some clever grouping of players & a few boys driving up prices, the group of Wal, Tilt & Wack Hutchinson sold for $hitload!

How well did the Emus boys play for pongy's?

[HeyPhilip?]

I saw the results from the weekend and most matches have been spokan about but i have seen nothin said bout the game down the road at Strath against Mclaren Looks like Strath took them to town once again any reports?

Always happy to stay around for a beer after the game WOW... probably not quite as long as I did Saturday though. Myponga's probably the best place to be if you had to get a flat battery I reckon. When I mentioned that I needed some jumper leads there were about 10 farmers that piped up and told me they had some in their ute!

Strath won Easily with 12 out of their A Grade team,
McLaren look to have a few thugs back from their senior colts team from 03-04 and enjoy throwing a few fists when things dont go their way.
i watched from half time and there were at least 3 fights. one bloke got sent off for a king hit, should get a few games at least.

Watched the Mclaren - Strath game myself on Saturday night.
Strath were too quick and too clean for Mclaren. Some of straths delivery into the forward 50 was very good.
Mclaren showed no enthusiasm untill they got so far behind it made them angry and then they pegged Strath back a bit.
I wouldnt say that Srath are as innocent as the previous poster makes them look...
Strath far too good though and with both sides missing a few regular Agrade players who knows how good either side are yet?

Could have been a bit going both ways but you will just have to wait until next week to see if the same guys are throwing their fists, instead of finding the pill

How well did the Emus boys play for pongy's?

Ritter was solid, Gaskos work rate is amazing & gives Pongy something we haven't had at CHF for quite sometime.

Great to hear Ritter is now reeping the hard earnt rewards for an outstanding pre-season, also great to hear of his outstanding training attendance record so far. I would hate to hear he is taking a young blokes spot purely on reputation, that has also had a magnificent hard pre-season. Going in the right direction Pongy's, way to build a club, keep up the good work.

Got something against Ritter there Snapper? Is it that hes got more football ability in his left finger than you? Definently more ticker than you hiding behind that alias

Our club is very happy where it is at the moment. For the size of the Pongy footy club we have great numbers in each grade apart from our 14's which are a little short, had 3 colts from last year in the A's for Rd 1 another 5 or 6 in the ressies. We had 44 on the track last thursday, which is unheard of in previous years. The club did 135 meals Thursday night, another 140 saturday night & followed by a successful fundraiser. The club is currently also looking at building new facilities. We are slowly building a culture at the club & we will hopefully have some good results this year in all grades. Finals/premiership is not going to happen over night. No one whether they are a local or recruit will influence where the club is heading. No one is bigger than the club, well maybe Baz Clarke

[Gooch112]

Yankalilla V Encounter Bay By 8+ goals
Victor Harbor V Strathalbyn In a close tussle..match of the round
Willunga V Myponga-Sellicks Willunga at home but Myponga to be the big improvers this year aswell as Yank

Langhorne Creek V Goolwa-Pt Elliot Too good for Goolwa at home

[Tiger83]

Tips for Rnd 2.

Yank v Enc Bay - YANK in a closer game than people think.
Victor v Strath - Strath will have too much run for Victor.. just.. under a goal.
Willunga v Myponga - Willunga few returning key players will be too strong for the honest Muddies.
McLaren v Mt Compass - McLaren in a very close upset.. Compass seem to be struggling atm.
Creeks v Goolwa - Creeks by a big margin over a hopefully improved Maggies side.
