HFL Division 1 (Central)

[Gervais]

Hows Big Glenn Dundovic going at Blackwood, kicked 100 goals last year in the Great Southern for Yankalilla which is a far stronger league IMO. Should already have 100 goals playing against weaker opposition.

nice try....put a bit of bait on the hook and see what you catch....just a bit too obvious.

[overthehill]

I know club best players aren't the be all and end all but ive kept my eye on the results and seen a bit of footy this year so im gonna say:
1st. L. NITSCHKE
2nd S. TANNER
3rd S. MCCORMICK

[overthehill]

after typing that last post i just thought of A. Kirwan from OV as well.

what do u mean??

[Cougar]

Did I hear correctly that Mclean got a reprimand after receiving a red card?

I thought a red card meant 2 weeks suspension.

IB had a player go to the tribunal a few weeks back after receiving a red, plead guilty, has a good record, the umpire came in and said the red card was probably harsh and wasn't much in it....and got 2 weeks?!

How's that work?

Don't get me started on the HFL Tribunal - the whole lot need a clean out and replaced with people that have got any sort of touch with reality!

Their inconsistantcies are glaringly obvious and it is a massive blight on the league. The problem, the board and the commissioners are all mates with eachother and think they're doing a "brilliant" job.

Here, here!! Bunch of old farts gave me a week to think things over, I'm pretty sure the guy I 'struck' didn't even realise I'd hit him!

McGovern you were lucky you only got a week you would have to be one of the dirtiest players going around

Agreed. One of the dirtiest players ever to set foot on a HFL ground. No wonder the HFL and Birdwood kicked him out

Has kicked 55. Won't get anywhere near 100.

Think you are mixing up Hills Central and Country.

I think what he means is you might be getting confused as we have Div.1(Central) and Div.2(Country). Glenn is playing for Blackwood who are in Div 1 which is a stronger comp then GSFL. However he has now kicked 56 goals which is a great achievement for the competition he is playing in and no dount he would have kicked 100 if he was playing in Div.2

Club best players are nothing to go by when it comes to Mail Medal Counts as the umpires usually only know a handful of players and therefore the voting tends to go the way of those players.

When you have guys who don't even get into their club best players for a game but still poll 3 votes, makes the whole voting system bit of a farce in my opinion.

I think you'll find the top 5 (no order) to be guys like Ebert, Nunan, McCormick, Nitschke and Klun (even though he's missed a lot of games, polls extremely well).

So in your opinion, the umps dont read the best players off the team sheet to assist with their voting? Sorry but i disagree.

There's word traveling around there might be an umpires strike after the SANFL reduced a suspension of the Encounter Bay lad for striking an umpire. The sentence was reduced from 5 to 3 years. The umpires are not happy and are threatening to strike in a number of Leagues. Certainly gives grounds for the Hahndorf lad to appeal I'd think.

Sometimes a club just has to take a stand!!

Who were the two A grade Blackwood players allegedly punching on at a club function recently?

I believe this was a supporter and a B grade player...

[spot on]

Ironbank defeated Bridgewater by 12 goals today following a very close first half. Don't know if these other results are correct but have heard that Onkas beat Uraidla, Mt Barker beat Blackwood, Torrens Valley beat Mt Lofty, couple of upsets there.

[Amateur Footy]

I'd be interested to read a post about the Onkas v Uraidla match..... massive boost to Onkas final prospects and makes it vey hard for Hahndorf & Lofty and doesn't help IB.

[has been]

Dumb comment AF. IB destiny in its own hands - pretty simple - keep winning.

[Armytank]

Agree Has Been, relying on results to get through to the finals means you are not good enough to be there.

Three games left, Torrens Valley, Hahndorf and Onkas. Got to beat these teams to be good enough to play finals footy anyway.

Was a great game of footy to watch from start to finish with both sides going hard at it. Onkas took first blood and had the lead all day. The Tanners and Kirwan in the middle for the Dogs got the best of the McLeans all day and Daniel Ebert also sharing most of the middle duties was a class act as always with Brothers Rick being very damaging and Simon had a good first quater but went missing. Sutton went onto Kirwan after quater time who still had the best part of 25-30 disposals in the last 3 quarters. Uraidla are now starting to look very thin up forward with Loffler looking like he is either playing with injuries or maybe his best football is behind him and Paris Fowden whos best days are far behind him looked far to slow with the Onkas Full back line of the Pffifers and Heiser holding an avearge age of 20 years. P. Richards and T.Martin played their usual classie roles and were good when the ball got to them. Scotty gave himself a rough hand playing on N.Smart and S.Friend, 2 of the fastest blokes in hills footy and as a result they both ran a muck a long with both the Woolfords and J. Smith. The Cox's we're not bad and Ebel and Down didn't get alot of game time , Wotton didnt get the ball much. Vidic got stiched up by Francis and Remnant was terrible and was out classed by Kain. Great and even ruck contest all day with Angove and Brownee slogging it out against Down and i think it was Cox.
Onkas stand outs were probably S. Tanner, Wescombe (6 Goals) and Butcher (6 Goals). Uraidlas were probably D. Ebert, R. Ebert and P. Richards. The Uraidla best players in the paper seemed a little sarcastic as 4 out of the 5 were probably what cost them the game especially Fowden and Vidic
MIA Uraidla = Dylan Brown, Michael Tudor-Tsourtos and i Thinks Moulds didn't play.
MIA Onkas = Adam Klun (would have been real handy Yesterday), Lachie Peter, Hayden Lofts and Rhyse French.
A. Marston = time to hand in the whistle, cost both sides greatly

Makes the last 3 weeks in this comp even more interesting. Maybe uri were getting ahead of themselves, maybe they were taking it easy with nothing much to gain or maybe onkas are the sleeper in this years finals series. time will tell. It would be interesting to hear a uraidla point of view on the game as often there are different views on each side of the fence, ie the best players for each side and the way the game unfolded and for what reasons. I look forward to seeing a confident onkas side and seeing how far they can go this year, they have given this comp something to think about moving forward.

Onkas challenge now, like every other year is to translate their talent into September victories.
Good to see a local in Dave Wescombe kicking goals in the A's.
I haven't been keeping a close eye on the comp, has my fellow Birdwood ex-patriot Scott Friend been playing well?
