HFL Division 1 (Central)

[Justquietly]

Why? are you shopping around?

Looks like almost half a dozen from TV to Mt Barker. Are they juniors?

[Hear the roar]

The answer to you question can be given as a multiple choice:

a) People started talking about sensible topics and stopped talking rubbish, hence everyone got bored

b) Like the League, the topic got too hard and everyone just shoved their head in the sand hoping it would go away

c) C Grade started their own thread and no one is interested in the A grade

d) All of the above

I suspected all of the above. Great minds think alike. I would add an e) Not enough credibility given by "The League" to the clear thinkers on this site. And not enough publicity distributed to clubs re nominations for Board members at AGMs. Seems they all slide in unopposed from goodness knows where.

Sorry to be a couple of kicks behind the play but, as a matter of interest, how do people actually get on the Board? Is there a process and if so, what is it?

with last weekend in the past being put aside for inter-league can anyone help me by picking a team that they think that could of represented the hills league

yeah come on Champ I would like to hear what these "hard decisions" are aswell

Perhaps while your at it can you tell me how long a piece of string is ?

Scroll back mate, also refer to the older convos in the country comp.

Some of the hard decisions in my humble opinion involve the zoning and/or amalgamation of the kids comps. The introduction of a promotion/relegation system, the re-introduction of rep footy and the requirements placed on clubs when fielding teams in any of the proposed three tiers. (A previous discussion on merits of a 3 tiered comps has been had A LOT)

Above is some I suppose...

My apologies Champ
When you said hard decisions I didn't realize you meant bad decisions

Scroll further back you might find the answer to your post
and then scroll further back it will keep you amused for awhile

What about (dare I say it) mergers. Echunga/Maccy, Meadows/Kangarilla, Kersbrook/Gum. If those clubs got together they would go well in central div.

might have something to do with C grade maybe because its a combined mt b/tv side

[bailey39]

Roos win the Courier Cup and Bridgewater beat Mt.lofty as well

[StickyFingers]

Bridgewater by 10 goals over Mt Lofty

[the_grinch]

Good to see Lobey back up and about with a big win!

[FairDinkum]

Yes Tigers, winning at Ironbank, very happy. But it appears some Ironbank supporters and sponsors werent happy with the Thunderers performance and gave them a send off leaving the field.
I had always give No. 5 the benefit of the doubt but last Saturday removed all of that, arguing with his own teammates, sledging opposition Under 17's, then his retort of "Do you know who I am?", I mean really.

Oh oh oh but he is the secretary of the club, a real great club man and all round nice guy haven't you heard?? Pfffftt the bloke is a dead set peanut, if he could play as could as he could talk he would be a bloody good player. Fortunately for everyone who loves bagging him, he isn't. Think it's time for him to zip it.

[overthehill]

i am very confident in guessing you would be referring to Chris Schneider. I cant help but notice no matter where he goes everyone has the same opinion.
For the record i also share the views of the above posts especially the part about getting stuck into the underage players of the opposition. Not a good look

[Mop Up]

I have it on good authority that all Lobethal supporters and players are angels sent from Heaven

[FairDinkum]

The angels won again, but more importantly they won and celebrated the life of two important people who are no longer with us. Rest in Peace Lisa Russell and Simon Vogt, missed but never forgotten.

Was at mt barker yesterday. How can a team that good have an oval that is less than sub standard. The visitors rooms are a little better, but not much. It is an absolute disgrace. The help they get from the council is probably up their with lofty and miles ahead of most other clubs. They can obviously spend shit loads on BBQ sheds, fancy score boards, player payments, 2storey time keepers boxes and yet put up a crap surface like they have for the past 10 yrs. The HFL and Gus are gutless in not making them do anything about it and the club hides behind the mantra of the oval being council owned etc etc. IT is a blight on our competition. Was speaking to a lawyer associate who had a very interesting opinion on where the club mt barker itself would be positioned if a player was seriously injured and financially disadvantaged as a direct cause on the state of the oval.. You apparently cannot hide behind signing off on a satisfactory ground report signed off b4 a round as the HFL thinks u can. At least the ironbank oval is the best surface by a mile in the league behind cally even tho not big. The club is endevouring to improve visitor and general facilities all with minimal council help as they unlike most clubs own their oval. The next step for them would b to get a team as good as barkers. They are the best by a mile and good luck to em. Just fix ur bloody oval. It's worse than a disgrace. Keep ur kids off it and train else where. U had 6 games on there yesterday . Not smart mr Williams. Well done to noonan as well. What a champ that guy is. HFL is alive and well.

some good points in this post, right up to the sentence where you claim that ironbank oval is the best surface in the league - are you for real?
i know of two clubs who have who have had issues at ironbank this year due to the gravel and stones on the surface. to also have a crack at the mt barker away rooms, when ironbank have a cold tin shed and the worst away rooms in the hfl, just weakens the credibility of your argument.

Im just wondering what Malcolm Blight has to do with it?

[supercoach]

Champ you are an idiot - the mentality of a wunkar boy sums it all up. But that was quick.
Gervais read the post again. You should open ur ears and eyes being a barker boy. IB change rooms aren't the best but they are better than the shit hole at mt barker. Yes they flooded 2 weeks ago but they are bigger and they don't stink like barkers do. The IB oval behind Cally is better than any other on a wet day. TAKES RAIN better than any oval in the league. Once again selective in your opinion. Good points hurt like the truth does champ. Bit of poetry there.
