HFL Division 1 (Central)

bernie - Classic!!! I've heard Pagey loves the Op-Shops. He should stick to the mens section though!!!

I rekon King for the MM - he's all class. The only question mark for him is whether the Tigers won enough games.

[Inside 50]

hey inside 50, saw you at the game on sunday i believe.. anyone in the bgrade game standout for you?

Yes GetTheSherrin, I think that Sim from Uraidla was an absolute standout. They used him well off the bench, and he managed to rack up possesions despite being heckled by the crowd all day. Uraidlas B Grade premiership hopes rest purely on his shoulders. If the "helmeted wonder" can deliver then cabbage are looking good for the flag.

[bernie]

Speaking of Uraidla, did anyone see the dose of punishment dealt out to a Onkas peasant on the clubroom wing? A Urididla player absolutely scragged the poor bugger and threw him head first into the sandy recesses of Mt Barker oval like a rag doll. The poor kid couldn't get up and was in a world of pain. A collarbone or shoulder was destroyed in that one I reckon. It took the Onkas trainer about 10 minutes to get out to him as well. In a prior incident another Onkas player copped a beating and it took the trainer longer to get out there! Do the Onkas trainers actually care about their players or just like seeing them suffer?

Firstly, Bernie your a smoker. There is absolutely nothing wrong with black leather pants. Perhaps you should invest and who know's you may even have more luck with the ladies (or gents), which ever way you swing.

Secondly, i think ledge will take out the Mail. Deffinately the shining light out at lobey and wont have too many others taking votes of him. Mt Lofty and uraidla players will poll very well, but the votes will be spread over too many people. The vertically challenged wood does however stand out and may have caught the umpires eye. If the medal was to go to the devils or cabbage cutters, he would be my tip.

[Rapper]

What I couldn't get over was the fact that the Uraidla and Onkas players smashed each other in the face with the umpire trying to pull them apart and they only got a yellow card each. That Rob O'Gorman bloke gets a week for smashing Shultz in the face after he punched him in face. Great consistency from the umpires.
I think O'Gorman should of got a medal for belting that cheap talker.

I toally agree with the comments about the Onkas trainers. The lad lay on the ground for 5 minutes before the Mount Barker Doctor went to him and called them across.

Does anyone know who is playing in the country B's preliminary final this week?

[Inside 50]

Pretty sure I have 2words considering that Sim is playing B Grade and i am... not.

[bernie]

Big ask for Urididla to go all the way in the B Grade. Mt Barker had to play 4 finals last year in the A's from 4th spot and they finally ran out of legs in the GF. A bit different in the B's but I don't rate them to string 4 wins together when all the teams near the top are so closely matched. But after seeing the Woods falter on the weekend I think Uri's will get to the next stage. Will be tough against the Roos or Lofty though.

[2words]

Last year Mt lofty had to play 4 finals befor coming away with the prize. Uraidla are a good side in the B grade, but after seeing them on sunday dont think they will be able to progress through to the grand final. Im tipping another devils/barker GF

[Inside 50]

Michael Stapleton would have to be a chance for the B Grade Mail Medal. He is a class act especially around the goals. Not to sure how many games he played though?

[devilsadvocate]

Nipple didn't play enough B Grade games. From memory, he only played around 6, so I don't think he will poll enough.

I rekon Rob O'Gorman could poll the most B Grade votes, but due to inelligability (bloody Lobey Sniper) I think Sodomka has it in the bag.

[2words]

I think you right Advocate. Sadomka is a classy player and should have it in the bag. Missed a lot of games early due to breaking both hands ( i have been told). Probably the reason he has been playing B's

[bernie]

So what are the tips for the coming games on the weekend?

A's
Uraidla vs. Lofty (Balhannah)
Woods vs. Onkas (??Where??)

B's
Lofty vs. Barker
Uraidla vs. Woods

[devilsadvocate]

Nipple - he may be a hack, but he's one heck of a good looking bastard!

[bernie]

Nipple has a face like a bucket of smashed crabs. If you're into that kind of thing then certainly he is good looking. Not my kettle of fish though. Can snag the sneaky goal as well as he can smash a packet of darts too. At least he doesn't wear leather pants!!!

Have to agree that Sadomka is a quality customer as well. Could be the MMist by the end of the evening.

[devilsadvocate]

Bernie - so true, can smash darts like nobody else.

He throws a good Webber lid too!

I have seen uglier people running around for Mt Lofty. For example that miracle character.
I heard he was such an ugly kid, that his parents use to feed him with a sling shot.

[devilsadvocate]

Miracle - he's got a gigantic cranium, and when he's got his ankle braces on, looks very much like Phar Lap!!!

[bernie]

Who is this Miracle character? Never heard of him. Sounds like some pretty boy. All the Lofty boys should be playing netball anyway with their fake tans and blonde tips. "Glamour" team of the competition. They should rename Devil Park the Beautician's Park sponsored by Maybelline!

[Justquietly]

Some slight digression...
So Bernie - you wanna tell the rest of the comp that they've been beaten by netball players all year?
My tips...
A's: Lofty and Onkas
B's: Lofty and Blackwood
