Yeah that was a bit disappointing. We were planning to crack a bottle of champers and pour it over Hamsy but he was one step ahead of us. He remembered that we were at Goolwa where the showers (much like their A grade) don't work after half time. I told him that he wouldn't be out of place walking around Goolwa stinking like stale wine. He then pointed out that we've got the creek next week. Quality opposition, hot showers and his mates Pilmore, Baxter, Genovese and Portlock will all be back to share the celebration. Footy smarts David Hams!!


I will give you one thing GA, the group behind the goals certainly looked like the champagne type in fact I think i may have seen a few guava crusiers in hand at one stage. It was certainly not a good advertisement for cheer squads. I think you also must admit that it was a pretty good effort by Jared. With the quality and quantity of supply i am sure that everyone at the ground would have expected Hams to have 10+ with ease.


I'll take that as a compliment :wink: Think of us as the thinking mans cheer squad. Possibly the first time there has been more teeth than tattoos behind the goals at Goolwa?

Credit where credit is due, Jared was impressive when the ball was around - I can't remember Hamsy being outmarked one on one on many occasions before but my word - he's a fair peanut when the ball is up the other end of the ground! Hamsy had his opportunities but was a little off on Saturday. Having said that, I would love to kick 6 just once in my life!

Yeah I remember after the game saying "he only got six". Then I realised he had matched my career total.

bays flogged compass and would have been by even more if bays didnt lift off the pace a bit in the last quarter and almost let them back in the game. Compass never really looked dangerous with Scott Brown tagging Maxfield and keeping him to probably 3 kicks all game. In a darker side for the bays was the loss of craig littley who coped a heavy hit off the ball which resulted in a trip to flinders and the compass player recieving a yellow card (should have been red). I havent heard any news yet but not looking good. Owen love was again in great form along with Wilkey, Scott Brown and Cam Lintern.

I did see John Jarrad got best for goolwa on the weekend in a game which i thought would have been a blow out, (did quote 200 points) good to see goolwa hitting some late form and Jarrad repaying goolwa for there faith in him. Brad Yeomans would have to win the MVP for goolwa every week i open up the paper and he's in there.

Great win by the Bays on the weekend, makes for a mouth watering match up with Victor Harbor!!!

Congratulations to Marcus Burdett who got SAs MVP over in Shepparton! Was fantastic in almost every game and was very unlucky to not get selected in the All-Australian side!

Adam Merrett from the South East, Ryan Bennett from the Riverland and Jason Sutherland from the South East.

Mitch went alright GA. He along with the rest of the SA country side can hold their heads high after a strong showing at the carnival. Altho the results were disappointing we showed we are up the the level and were very much competitive and will be better for the experience!

So the team was happy with fourth spot then BJ? After beating Vic last year you would have been quietly confident going into this years championships. Was quite suprised to see the ACT win the Championships!

No Damian the team was not happy with the result. The side we played last year was the Div 2 Vic team. We were competitive in all of our games. Losing to WA twice by 2 goals both times, losing to the ACT and the Vics by around 2 goals aswell. Bad kicking is bad football and we kicked 19 points in the final yesterday!!!

What we were happy with was the improvement over the week into the weekend. Any of those games we lost could have been wins. Dont underestimate the standard of the football over there. It was amazing the pace the game was played at and a real eye opener as to the level some country footballers can play at!

To be honest not a lot off League Footy, definitely above reserves in my opinion but obviously not league standard. Most sides would have had 6 or so blokes that could play league football, maybe more. An experience i will never forget and a true test to see how u fare against the best in country footy.

Whos playing who this week?

Compass V Yank
Creek V Willunga
Victor V Bays
Strath V Myponga
Saints V Mclarens

Compass V Yank game shoud be a win to Compass with Burdett back but when you look at last weeks results dont rule out Yank by any means, this could be an upset! Compass by 2 goals

Willunga to gain a few back and get over the injury hurt Creeks by 8 goals.

Victor V Bays is one of the biggest local derby games seen in a few years with both sides playing for September action, Victor by 3 goals in a close one.

Strath to get over Myponga with ease, 15 goal.

Saints should be able to get over Mclarens at home, if they can put four qtr's of footy together they will get up by 10 goals.

Compass
Willunga
Bays
Strath
Saints

Bays seem to have turned the corner winning comfortably on the weekend without Heuskes, Grant Brown, Weedinhoffer, Butler, Scott Baggs and Craig Littley after the 5 minute mark of the first I hear. Finished the game off with 20 players of which apparently 18 were fit and still accounted for Compass - would Burdett really have made a 7 goal difference?

Was told by Owen Love that Lindsay Bassani will not be coaching the Bays next year. He is in negotiations with another country side and is asking Owen and Raymond to guarantee they will leave with him to increase his chances of getting the job.

Thats a big call after your first win against a top 5 side. I thought you may have played it down a little TC. Wouldnt want to get ahead of yourselves, remember Rd18 last year :-k

It would be a mythical club of some sought playing in a mythical league as word has it that Bassani will be interstate or possibly in the mines in 09. At any rate you'd think all the blokes mentioned would have bigger things on their minds like I dunno - not choking again!

WOW I think you have read a little too much into this post - firstly by turning the corner I meant that they have strung some good wins together, secondly they have managed to beat a top five side without a string of first choice players. In my books thats doing alright and lets not forget confidence is a wonderful thing; I'm more than sure there are memories of round 18 last year big fella.

Top 5 Prediction as of Rd 18 2008
Willunga 18-0
Strath 13-5
Creeks 13-5 (if they drop a game they will finish 4th)
Compass 13-5 (should react to place themselves back on track - could finish without another loss)
Bays 10-8 (could be 11-7)
