HFL Division 1 (Central)

Mate you are on drugs!It was never an issue until one person a bloody president stepped over a line.We should not excuse bully boy behaviour in the name of "service".Sorry it just does not wash.

People all over the country abuse umpires every week. Its not the right thing to do, no matter how bad the umpire is, i do not condone it, but in reality it happens. Whilst i cannot repeat every word that was said verbatim, i can say that this has been blown well out of proportion. There were a few of us at Uraidla that got stuck into the ump and told him in no uncertain terms that he had yet again buggered up a good game of footy. Charlie was pretty vocal, he admits he got stuck into the ump, the tribunal dealt with him accordingly. As for turning on the kid boundry umpire, i didn't hear anything about this and would assume that if it did happen the tribunal would have taken some really really serious action. It is my understanding that the HFL can ban people from entering grounds for such offences and nothing like this has happened.

The story which should attract as much attention is Owen Lamshed's behaviour. The man was way out of line with his What's Not .... Straweberries. What a plain stupid thing to write for a man who sits on some mighty pedastal preaching how we should all behave. He wants everyone to be harmonious for the good of the leauge and then has a dig at people during his weekly ego trip which is the budget. A true example!

Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm under the impression that a few of the courier boys are the compilers of the inside back page. Owen looks after the Advertising and editorials but the back page is done by the 3 or 4 boys there. I don't think Big O would have a bad bone in him to have a dig like that. (Editorials are league issues not personal).

hey jb how did i/bank go on the weekend ? scores sugest a big improvment

I/bank were at it all day. They put on good pressure around the ball causing a flat Barker to turn it over. Got a sniff early in the last Q, so Yeah id suggest they've improved.

On another topic, talk of Barker & Blackwood being 1 dimensional is rubbish. B/wood would win most wks with their side even if Gigney didnt kick a bag, & Barker beat B/wood 2 wks ago with marston only kicking 1.

[Theinnersanctum]

Very dissappointing effort by the Raiders on the weekend. Uraidla were way too good. Very strong team and if they move the ball the way they did on the weekend then i recon they'll be hard to stop! Interesting tho, from Bridgey best players in the paper, 3 out of the 5 named were from their midfield. From where i was sitting they got pumped in the guts wouldn't have thought any of them would be in best!

Lets hope the boys put in a better effort this week! They aren't as bad as they played on the weekend thats 4sure.

hey Muddy Roo, chillout, it was just being posed as a topic. Just noticed that MOST games, MArston has booted quite a few and no team (bar Blackwood) seems to have contained him. And yes, I agree that Blackwood would win MOST weeks without Gigney but he's a massive cog in that machine. Was just putting it out there.
Sanctum - what's the go there? Were Uris THAT good or was a lot of it to do with a poor Raiders performance? Word was that the Demons weren't travelling spectacularly.

[MONTE CRISTO]

pleassssssssssssssse! The Brian Parker thing has been done and dusted. Whatever you think of the man he runs probably the best organised club in the hills. He erred and has been dealt with. For God's sake move on!

Vaughan - get ready for another shelacking this week!

[bookie]

Are you serious Kick it to me did u fall over and break your funny bone recently? it was obviously written as a joke, i think u need to harden up mate! dont take the budget so seriously.

And Jailbird Owen adds all the content to the Final Siren the Courier lads just put it together and print the thing.

[Cougar]

Vaughan your Bridgey Boyz got lucky against a depleted Devils and were brought back to reality on Saturday. Think it's time Bridgey designed a clash guernsey for when they play Kangarilla and Kersbrook next season.

Ironbank displayed the most pressure that we have received this season so far as per the coach's review. I don't know about I/B team ins/ outs, because I know that comparing our team against Blackwood there were 6 changes made against I/B, with 5 of these allowing first year seniors (18yo) to play their first A grade game. Most of these will be back this week.

The boys were pretty ordinary but thats not taking anything away from uraidla. If they weren't traveling that well then i recon they certainly awoke on the weekend.
I think at some stage Bridgey even had Lancaster and Gane rucking against the Big guy from Uri's so didn't give them much hope. But in the last quarter i recon the coach chucked it around a bit so that may have made a difference aswell. All in all, Uri's wer bloody good.

hi everyone
done a fair bit of soul searching over the last few days but im back.
have been waking up the last 4 days hoping that saturday afternoon was just one big nightmare but i see the holes i punched in the living room wall saturday night and it confirms what happened out at uraidla.

i will start by saying i nearly choked on my cabbage soup when i saw the team run out without Charles and Fosdike who have been amongst our best performers this year.
not making excuses but this would have had a significant effect on the outcome.

that being said uraidla districts were simply outstanding. they played a rolling zone that appeared impenetrable at times. i would have to say that there game style is 5 years ahead of anything i have seen in the hfl ranks. hats off to mr parker and co down at uraidla districts.

also a great initiative by Lynchy to have the boys front up Sunday morning for a recovery session. cant dwell on the loss. am looking forward to taking on mighty mount barker. obviously a huge challenge but still have vivid memories of absolutely smashing them out on their dunghill last season.

back to the FORTRESS this week.
RAIDERS till I DIE!!!
V.

ps well done speccy on your fantastic 50-50 record on tipping hfl matches.
back to southern you brainless piece of bacteria.

hi cougar
i thought only one team was getting promoted from div 2?

i would rather see the boys running around in blue-dyed potato sacks in division one than wearing a hideous clash strip in country div. mark my words the famous bridgewater strip is as sacred as the collingwood jumper. we will be changing it over my lifeless corps.

RAIDERS till I DIE!!!

Barkeroos by 7 goals

hindsight is a beautiful thing.
its impossible to say but if we had big charlesy rearing up at the opening bounce and digging his razor sharp knees into the uraidla ruckmans sternum and palming it down to fosdike it may have set the tone.
guesstimates are futile.

maybe the margin may have been even greater if sutherland, anderson, vidic and pridham were playing. so you cant realy say that vaughn
