HFL Division 1 (Central)

heard Aufterheide might return home to the Tiges as well..

I have heard this one and that he is good mates with the Gowans brothers who won't be playing SANFL next year....

Beg to differ there. In the News Review Messenger up this way last week there was an article about the Gowans boys saying that wanted go around again at the Dogs next year.

i have bias towards lofty but here are my tips:

J/C: Lofty, I think the week off in under 14's footy isn't necessarily a good thing when your young and spritly the body recovers easily and the young devils have quite a bit of momentum coming into this weeks final having said that Blackwood have been the team to beat all season and will be brimming with confidence after beating the devs by 7 goals last time they met im gonna tip an upset and hope our lads can get up by 5 pts B.O.G J penny (Mt Lofty)

S/C: Ironbank, this game is going to be an absolute cracker, both teams have several gun players Uraidla has Wotton, Liebelt, Kluvanik but Ironbank have the Pope brothers, Shearwood and Spacie this game is gonna be won in the centre and i believe Ironbank will get on top, they only just lost out at Hahndorf after leading until half time. I think they would have learnt from last time and will win by 2 goal B.O.G T. Spacie (Ironbank)

B's: Mt Lofty, Again Bias but last time they met Mt lofty probably should have won and if it wasnt for some undisciplined play we probably would have. It's going to be interesting to see whether or not Jason Pope and Ben Badenoch play B grade or A grade Popey would be very unlucky if he doesnt make the A grade side. Who would make way for Badenoch and Popey, Ewers and who else? I think Mt lofty will pull away in the last qtr and win by 3 goal
B.O.G D. Mutton (Mt Lofty)

A's: Lofty, Blackwood have played some good footy lately and really pushed Mt lofty last time at Uraidla. Mt lofty's fitness eventually stood out over the woodies kicking on in the second half. With Tomlinson and Sidebottom crumbing in and around Gigney and Roche anything can happen. A battle im really looking forward to is between arguably the two best ruckmen in the hills Bawden and Bowen, Bowen will probably have the upper hand in the ruck duel but billy would be more agile around the ground. Lofty by 5 goal B.O.G Matt Stapes

Front page of this week's Gawler Bunyip ... Angaston coach Simon Johnson dropped a bombshell by resigning on Tuesday to coach in the Hills Football League for the next three seasons.
"I've received an off too good to refuse, it's the best I've ever been offered,' Johnson said.
Any takers guys????

According to the coaches thread he is heading to Macclesfield.

As has been said these exact rumours surfaced last year and didn't come to fruition. The Gowans boys were on the news the other night pledging their allegiance to Central's for next season so I don't know where you got that info from spearhead. Loby are set to be cellar dwellars again next season.

If this is true about lobethal looks like Bridgewater will strugle to win a game next year. But by the sounds of things that's what their supporters want for the club,stay in central and not win a game and get rolled every week.

[MONTE CRISTO]

Reckon apart from the SC this years grand final winners are a bit easy to predict. Blackwood JC, Uraidla SC, Blackwood B's and Mt Lofty A's. In fact I will go as far as saying the only hope Blackwood have in the A Grade is a terrorist bombing or Butch Marston umpiring!

Whatever. Anything can happen in September and it usually does.

I'd say our JC's are up against it, but there's no reason with a cracking performance they couldn't get up. Look back to the SC's GF in 2006 - Blackwood undefeated all year, steamrolling everyone, then our 17's knock them off in the GF.

None of Sat's games are clear 1 sides affairs.

Go you Devils.

i think you are spot on ballhog.
some supporters obviously dont know how to spell the word "WIN"

[dangermouse]

Don't worry spearhead, I got the sarcasm relating to the Gowans boys....

[Silky skills]

bookie im pretty sure tomlinson plays half back.. and a good source tells me he will be playing on pistola and playing tight as a nuns nasty on him

[MONTE CRISTO]

Devilsadv - you've got as much chance in the JC as Blackwood have in the A's! None! Unless of course Butch Marston is umpiring!!

[bookie]

if thats the case thats unfortunate for young pistols he had some serious potential

[Confucius]

Surprised that so many think 17's will be game of the day. Whilst I agree it should be a cracker I think the B grade will give it a dam good run. A team chasing 4 flags in a row up a against a team who has been top all year (almost) and expected to win....I know who I'd like to be!!!! Seriously though if you looked at Balckwood and Mt Lofty's form in the second half of the season then Lofty would be favourite in the B grade. Anyway my tips are:

14's Blackwood - Dont know enough about players to pick medal or margin
17's Ironabnk 15pts - Spacie or Shearwood best
B's Lofty - 3 pts - Maslin best
A's Lofty - 38 pts - Burch or Cutting best

That said ******* c'mon Woodies lets see someone different win a couple of flags. As much as Pagey is a bit up himself he has been a great coach and contibutor to HFL so would be good to see him go out with some success.

ok my tips 4 the weekend
14s lofty with j van paridon bog
17s ironbank with shearwood bog (he kicked a bag in the 14s gf last year )
bs lofty with huff bog (killed us last week )
as blackwood with gigs bog (had to go 4 these guys cant have lofty winning 3 of the 4 games )
goodluc to all sides see yas out there and lets hope the weather holds up

[Cougar]

All GF's easy results to the winners

14s Blackwood
17s Ironbank
Bs Blackwood.....think of the Country Div blokes pointed out this would happen if they pnly went for 2 teams!
As Lofty again.

[Confucius]

Thought the 2 senior games were bith a bit dissapointing today, not really competative matches but well done to both winners.

[Hoodlum]

anyone able to shed some light on who the best couple of players are at Birdwood?

[Down&Out]

A grade a very poor way for Pagey to go out- I see a big ad in the mail today for Blackwood job, any news around?

[Inside 50]

Managed to get to Lobethal to catch the second half of the A Grade and its fair to say the Ironbank 17s were well on the way.

Good to see.
Also well done to the Mighty Devs
