GSFL Movements

[LuvsFooty]

Saint noone kicked a bag, 15 different goal kickers with 2 players kicking 6 and then a couple of 5s. Full Forward Clint Howes kicked 6 up until early in the 2nd quarter and then hurt himself so came off so he looked like kicking a fairly large score but not to be! Very young B Grade side and very quick so they just ran the older Yankalilla side off there legs.

To Yanks Credit at least they stayed out there and tried all day. Was a long day for the Tigers but the Under 14s match was a beauty with Yank being up by 3 goals at 3 quarter time only to fall behind with a couple of minutes to go in the last. Yank then got the lead back and won by 5 points was a great game of junior footy in wet, trying conditions!

Its good to see Yank doing so well in junior colts. They have been the percentage booster for the last 4 years, so it seems as though there are some good colts coming through.

The difference for the bays compared to the last two weeks was a full foward who could kick some goals. Brown delivered and kicked six on the weekend and took some good grabs. This enabled the bays to finish off where as other weeks they have kicked them selves out of the game after going into the last quarter either infront or down by 1 or 2 goals.

Wasn't Bassani your full forward?

Bass was playing a bit of everywhere, played foward pocket next to browny before he went away and then has not played for 3 weeks, due to more full on coaching commitments required. It was also great to watch some of the younger guys playing again, Senior Colts such as Lindsay, Horrocks, Taggart (was named but unfortunatly missed out), Davis Neale, Hooper have both played also. With Bassani bringing in new younger faces each week with his promotion program things are going well at the bay.

How are the young fellas going Cuzzy? Is Hooper getting a regular game in the A's? Was Davis Neale only playing because South had a bye? What about the Taggart brothers?

[cuzzy]

u/17 players that have played so far this year at the bay

Taggart - both of them
Wells
Davis Neale - when not at south or state comitments
Hooper - when not playing south 19's, he has played i think 3 games
Lindsay
Horrocks
Prest
Kirk
Henderson
Allen
Martin

All of these blokes except one have got another year of senior colts to go next year, so that offers some promise for the club. What other clubs are playing their juniors as much as this?

[cyclops]

Cyclops, now that the Mighty Emus (who i rate as high as any side going round and have great respect and admiration for) have dropped a game to Hallett Cove whats the thoughts now? Are we still likely to receive the flogging you predicted us to! I personally think the game would be great, both sides showed that at the start of the year at South Adelaide in a game that couldve gone either way!

There would be some great matchups all over the ground with ones like Hams v Smith, Short v Steele, Pollard v Bennett, Bayly v Carnevale and the list goes on. Players like Earl, Hill, both the Bayly boys, Joras making a return they have a great squad and Cove must have played a blinder to get up! Good to see Joshy Vick have a good game also would have liked to watch him and Brayden go head to head in the middle, among the 2 best rovers in country footy for sure!


No disrespect to cove cos they were really good on sat BJ,but i was referring to m/vale at full strength.Yes i do still believe they would beat the demons comfortably.you add to the emus Gav allen,bodey,hewitt,ellison,harris,s.joraslafsky,howell,gaskin,beeching and earl who only played for about 10 minutes on sat and that is a very hard side to match up on rite down the board.Just my opinion not trying to sound arrogant just think all them match ups are to hard for them.

I didnt see the match against Cove but i do believe Morphett Vale will still win the flag in Southern. They are an awesome unit and noone can deny that. Without the opportunity to see the 2 sides play when they are up and running in september you will never know so it can only be opinion based which is fine but a comfortable win i dont agree with. Both sides have quality players and match up well height wise and strength wise. Agree to disagree on how it would go.

Why dont you two organise a mid or end of season bragging rights game? Surely wouldnt be that hard? Actually if you guys are serious about finding out who is who then it would be dead easy to organise; if you boht have paid players that will refuse to play then you'll fast find out who your mates are. Id love to see a deal where if you both make the GF then you both play each other in the week following.

[roo32]

Honestly who really cares about who is the better team out of Willunga & Morphies, two totally different comps they are playing in. Both teams are very similar at this point in time in terms of the strength of the clubs as a whole.
You are never going to get a true indication of who is the better team from just playing a one-off game, even more so the week after the Grand Final. Lets just agree that they are both awesome units, at the moment.....

[damian]

Sounds good in theory Teflon, but i don't think either side is confident enough to pursue a game like that, plus both teams would be looking for a break you would think after either winning or losing a GF the week before. Would be great to see though, maybe a major sponsor could be found to put a sh*t load of cash for the winning side. That might get all players out there.

But realisticly as muchas i would love to see the game played i don't think we will ever get the pleasure.

[BRaG]

Bindi or Bundi, I think you just called me a soft %&$% for some reason and I dont understand your rant. One thing I can say is that the Saints paid players were genuinely hurt beacuse of the loss yesterday, but I couldnt see much enthusiasm from the Victor boys. I think money in local footy has an effect but the day of truly local teams is well and truly over. Unfortunately association footy is dead for what resaon I dont know. I think its because of the lack of rivalry.

One thing I should say (before I get called an umpire basher). I have umpired mini colts, junior colts and B grade. As well as this I also umpired an A grade trial last year and got some good feedback. The big problem with umpiring is that it is difficult to get to an A grade level. When I had a leg injury i made some enquiries and was told (even after playing football for 20 years) that I would need to do a heap of training and wouldnt be able to umpire at a grade level for several years. The umpire I spoke to basically laughed at me when I said I would like to umpire A's straight up. Thats why the ex players dont take up umpiring!!!!

If that is true then that ios a sad indicment on the umpiring down there. Up in the hills league there have been a few ex decorated A grade players who have now been talked into umpiring. They are also being fast tracked to do A grade football as its pretty evident ex footballers make the best umpires.

Brad Smith, you represented SA at country level is a good example of this, read this week he did his first A grade game after only taking it up this year.

I know Mike Perry is umpiring in the GSFL (ex Strath Langhorne Creek Premiership player). Its hard to hate a good bloke

[Zelezny Chucks]

You SFL blokes over rate your top teams because your bottom teams are so terrible. You won't be satisfied unless Willunga (or Strath or Langhorne Creek) move to the SFL and dominate it for 100 years. Which if you brush up on your history you will see that Willunga had already done before it moved to the GSFL looking for a challenge.[/quote]

Yeh you are right Grape Ape Willunga did dominate the SFL 100 years ago so I supose you blokes still would!!!!! My opinion is top teams from GSFL and SFL similar and lower teams similar as well[/quote]

I think the top teams in both leagues are very close but i don't know about the bottom sides, i for one think Yankalilla would beat a Hackham (by alot), Aldinga, Noarlunga, Christies, Morphettville Park, and Lonsdale.[/quote]

I think your right here Damian; so can it be said that leagues can be judged by not only their top 2 sides but their bottom side? Would give an overall indication of the strength of any league wouldn't it?[/quote]

If you want to use that argument take out the bottom 4 sides in SFL as there are 14 teams I think you'd find 9th and 10th would be pretty similar.

I dunno about you guys but after making a GF the next week usually means drinking as much as possible.

I like your point ZC, but i named 6 sides that i believe Yank would beat, and i would also add a 7th to that list in Marion. If yank were to play a season in the SFL i think they would finish about 8th.

I love debating footy but this constant comparison between the GSFL and the SFL just goes on an on. And lets face it, we are never going to get a result! Even we do find a formula do compare teams does anybody really care?

Clearly the fact that it goes 'on and on' means a few people care doesn't it?

Simple answer to fix this debate. Lovelock Shield.

No. It means that we are all employed in jobs that allow us to surf the internet constantly. Because we are regularly surfing we get bored and therefore bring up old topics that have been done to death. Having said that I think I will spend the ret of the day coming up with a mathmatical formula to determine once and for all who is the best.

[cuzzy]

yep im over it, whats the tips for this week, its only early but nothing better to do.

Yank Vs Strath - Strath will be way to strong for Yank unless its pissing down with rain as going by last weekends results Strath are a summer team, maybe they should play cricket. Strath by over 50 points

Langhorne Creek Vs Compass - i think this tainted as game of the round but will suprise everyone and say that creek will beat compass by atleast 5 goals.

Encounter Bay Vs McClaren - Bays by 5+ goals, youngsters and fowards have hit form coming off last two weeks of very good footy

Willunga Vs Victor - Willunga by 50+ points, unfortunatly i would like to see victor win and upset willunga but the fact is that i think Willunga will just be to good. Willunga have to many big man for victor to control

Saints Vs Myponga - myponga by 20+ points, would like saints to win but think princi's boys will get over the line here (not really sure why though)
