Eager to hear your view Rooster on this two rule APFL fiasco J.Wilson v M.Young

ok doke Mo, Youngy was selected by, well, the selectors and Jared was not that is the first thing to consider here.

Now, i have it on good authority that Jared Wilson was a selector, but he had very little to do with the actual side in the wash up, he wasn't there and certainly wasn't mentioned over the bar afterwards at the pub, his brother Joel became a key advisor. Whether Jared spoke with Mossy/seection comittee and told them he wasn't up to it or whatever is anyone's guess but i'm pretty sure that if he wasn't picked he shouldn't have played.

Youngy is a bit stiff but i can also appreciate the leagues decision to penalise blokes who were not available. now before you all get up me, the league and the blokes that went around at snowtown last week take pride in Assoc games and we most certainly do not want to be in the same situation as other leagues in having good players running around and for whatever reason do not want to play. To be honest you want the best players in your comp. then if you cannot have all of them you have the best available, you don't want to have to go much further than that in Assoc footy.

Did youngy train at all with the squad? i'll probably need to look into that.

Whatever the outcome we could argue the toss all day and not find a reolution so we have to lick our wounds and get back on with the job as the carnival is headed our way next year, probably Balak if i were to guess.

Andy as a man on the board why dont you say the truth mate not just go around saying (what ive heard at the pub). As for the guys not being available how would the APFL like it if none of the players said anything before the last training session then come the friday before the game they are meant to play, they say oops im not available, how would the league like this. Atleast some of the guys gave a fair amount of notice which in future doesnt mean a thing. How would the league like this. Maybe mention this at ur next meeting mate.

Can anyone from Virginia tell me how Tony (not sure of last name, a solid lad) goes about it on the footy field? He got a clearance to us.

Just to defend my comments on the previous post FF.

Firstly , a lot of what goes on in this league get discussed over a few beers be it at the pub or at a club, so what i've said is what i've heard.
And i think you'll find that most of the men selected want to play and just to be out there is an honour, so if a playere did that not only would he cop it from the league but he would cop it from the players who did play later on. i would expect that most players have enough guts to do the right thing. i guess the answer for those of you who think some players are hard done by is to get your club president to complain and contest the decision or to tell those players to get out to training even if they are unavailable to play. Andrew Evans was not able to play but fronted up thursday night before the game. of course the other alternative is to deal with it!!

Oh, and Andy is aware of most of this as you would expect, but i'm not Andy!!

What a coincidence Rooster, most of what everyone hears is "over a few beers at the pub or club" but once a few beers go down, thats when the sh*t driblin begins. Ive heard lots of rumours wilst sinkin a few but not to repeat it here when it may either be 3rd hand news or a story put forward knowing where it will be blurted out, to me would be a no brainer

My point being
Oh, and Andy is aware of most of this as you would expect, but i'm not Andy!!

Couldn't give a poopsy who you realy are, but isnt it easy to "make comment" by recolecting what you heard while havin a beer

Anyways, I think if a rule is layed down by the APFL for Assio games and are understood leading into the event then well, thems the rules. But if its a case of double standards, ok for one and not the other well thats just not cricket is it

[wedge tail]

Joel and Amos Wilson brothers. Jared a cousin.
What Andy Evans has had to go through is a bit over the top. if you organise a trip away in january i think you should be entitled to take it without the league wanting to sit your mother on a lie detector to determine whether or not his eldest son ( by 10 seconds i believe) is telling the truth. Sure, we take pride in the league and in association games but to cop the wrath of your wife if you had to cancel a weekend away with her to play 3 two halved games, i wouldnt wish than on anyone as im sure you guys would agree. There is nothing worse than a woman scorned.

[Swamp Donkey]

yeah on the money wedgie!!

Aboslutely agree 100%.

[muckhole]

You lot dribble shit. Jared (my cousin not brother swamp donkey and rooster you cork heads)) did not play because he didnt have to. He has played and shown enough dedication to the association for the last 10 years GET OVER IT. Matty Young in the past couple of years has been selected in the squad, trained both weeks and been left out so why should he put in the effort this time. Andy Evans played last year, played assoc footy for Yorke Peninsula a couple of times and played more associatiom footy down the South East. I dont think he was trying to aviod it he just has a life outside footy.

We took the best side that was available and that wanted to play and were unlucky not to have had a crack at top spot.

I see the zone squad was picked, good work Bussy, Catty, Jezza, Loewe, Kouta and some blokes were picked on previous performances. You wouldnt be happy with that tigertalk.

pub talk is what you get from swampy and the chicken man.good footy players would jump a the chance to play association footy all being their fitness,family and work were all fine!i would like to see these games played at Adelaide oval or footy park,if the powers to be are really into promoting grass roots football.

[The Rooster]

Sorry muckhole, no harm no fowl!!

i think i've been absolutley canned over this but this is my last comment is.
You should bloody well want to play Assoc footy its an honour that a lot of guys in the league don't get the chance to and before it disappears we should embrace it.

Hummocks/Watchman vs Virginia @ Port Wakefield Hummocks by a few goals R.Reid to star.
Hamley Bridge vs Two Wells @ Hamley Bridge The Roosters with Sean Buss to bring his own footy.
Mallala vs United @ Mallala The pies to nudge out the talented tiges.

I think the best we could hope for would be Woodville (WWT) Prospect (NA) or Elizabeth (CD) ovals.
And who's the chicken man

A post taken from another thread!!
Re: Representative Football
apfl suspends players that are not available no matter if he chooses to catch up on sum work or take a break with the family,to play a different association each year for five years would give a true indication of player prowes,to play association footy is a great experience, as goes in footy you are only as good as those around you. the apfl association game format was a debarcal not to mention selection committee.

I dont think anyone dissagrees with WANTING to play Assoc footy and I know guys who would've loved to play but were'nt picked, if a player can't be f*cked playing fair enough, but for a legit reason that can't be changed, and Im sure if it could it would've it needs a fair go. Granted the rules play an important role but by bitting of your nose will only spite your face, so by setting rules that can't be suited on indavidual mirit will only make the Assoc games a very unsavoury proposition to look forward to. Not to sh*t can umpires but have you ever been to a game and the the rules are adhered too 100%, I don't think so, they are judged on indavidual merit, be it a bad decision or not and I with respect given to the legue, Im sure they do their best to make the system as fair as possable in their view anyway but, bad desitions get made and hopefully they can see the "er" in thier ways(I think they have)

To expect a player to hold of on any pre planned engagement just cause there may be a possability they MAY get asked, do WELL in training AND GET PICKED is simply a silly idea. Then to suspend for a game because of this......well read above about spite. One can only hope minor adjustments are made to prevent this debarcle next time.

To look at things from both sides of the fence, if someone is truely passionate about there footy they would move heavan and hell to get there(as I know someone who was) and on the other hand, there IS life after footy

[wedge tail]

Is there any truth to the rumor that Kevin Sheedy is guest talking at the Balak footy club this weekend. I must admit i heard that sipping a latte on Melbourne street so could be well off the money.
If you blokes arent aware, the Hummocks have a new website, http://www.hwefc.org.au
While this site is obviously pro Hummocks it is also designed to help not only grow the club but we are passionate about the league too. If you guys have club functions you wish to promote, and i must emphasise this, if it does not clash with any functions the Hummocks have on, we would be happy to mention it on the site.
Plus, check out the Eagles Nest, caos Wedgie rites are column on there and i can guarantee that if you think i right tripe on here, its got nothing on the webiste.
Good luck all teams this week other than Virginia!!
My tip: Torzyn for Virginia netties to run rings around our goal shooters unfortunately. Sorry girls shes a gun.

Hummocks to beat virginia by 18points.
United to beat Mallala by 35 points
Two Wells to beat Hamley by 60
