SA Footy

time to put your balls on the line boys who do you think will win the medals in the hills this year ?
my tips would be in central
winner..
simon ebert ..uris
darkhorse..gareth williams ..ironbank
country
winner..brad pearce ..kersbrook
darkhorse..brett wakefield..kangy
and this one hurts but matt morrisey from meadows has been high in he best in most of the games hes played and kicked a few goals ..
let te tips roll in boys !!!

I'm sticking with my mid season prediction of Trigger and Brads. Although understand Trigger's missed a few, and Brads has been very quiet for his standards of late.

if owen was the sole vote giver trigger would win by a mile but havent seen him in the best to much would think lofty have to many pinching votes of each other to see the medal going to goat pk this year ..just my view so could be wrong

I think that Jon Floriani, Trigger and Scott Wood will all poll well for Mt Lofty, but i think Flo will win. Wouldn't be surprised if he polls in every game he's played. From country, im going to go with Deke Smith from TV.

Im going to go out on a limb and say a big roughie will be Chad Trelor from Kangy, has got in the best for nearly all of their games.

Any thoughts on damien Gigney- seems to have been amongst BP each week for Blackwood??

Central
A- Simon Ebert-Uraidla
B- Alex Weeks- Mt Lofty
17's- Matt Roberts- Hahndorf
14's- Michael Pope- Ironbank

Country
A- Deke Smith- Torrens Valley
B- Matt Quist- Kangarilla
17- Daniel Cross- Meadows
14- Luke Mueller- Torrens Valley

Good call Robby. The kid's a gun.

I tipped him to win the MM back in April, so if he does, look out for a phat post from me saying I told you so!!!

good post robby but how do u see all these guys ???popey is a gun will go to the next level and sherwood not far behind ..could be our next afl players behind the big barnes... think both will be in with a fair chance for the medal in u14s !!!!!!!!!!

Country division I'm basically just having a stab except for Mueller in the under 14's seen the kid play and should be strong chance.
I've trained with Popey and I think he is a bit more than Shearwood, but yes they both should go very far.

from wat ive seen this year i would say that john flo, matt baldock and simon ebert will all poll very well
B grade: Alex weeks and a roughie Marcus Jones
17s: Brett pistola even tho he has missed a few games should poll in almost all games he has played
14s: Michael pope GUN

do the C grade have a mail medal? if so im tipping chris bullis from onkas or tim noble from lofty

i think peter sodomka or chucky mclean would be our best hopes in the b grade ..does anyone know if they are doing a count 4 the c grade comp ? stole my thunder there bookie about c grade.. would think gilly would poll well from ironbank

Didnt they forget to give votes in the C grade?? Heard they might do it on best players ratings or something??

if this is the case robby gilly will win hands down high in the best 4 ib every week and they did go through the minor round undefeated ..just on this they also did not have a best on ground in the c grade gf either seems the c grade has been forgoten !!!!!!!!

I have become a fan of Ironbank, been to about 5 of their games this year. Have many contenders for Mail medals this year. Williams and Katanyeri in the A's, Sodomka, McLean & Lacey in the B's (Could well be the top 3, barring a few Lofty boys), Light in 17s and Shearwood & Pope in 14s. Peoples thoughts?

lacey in the b's has had a fair year after a year out of football, but to many games in the a's and some massive "thunderthighs" might hamper his chances a bit. also tends to tell the umpire what he is doing wrong, cant win to many votes doing that.
for mine sodomka in the b's would have a fair few points, with ben thomas also catching the eyes of the umpires throughout the season.

LIGHT in the 17s, was that some sort of sick joke! i would imagine that furber or dunbar would get many more votes than him dont know if he would even make the best 22 for the hills team

Yeh bookie i would agree with the Furber call but due to his little Red Card action this week should rule him out in the race for the s/colts mail medal!

I think Malzard would poll well, has had an outstanding year but has came down with a back injury late in the season

CENTRAL DIVISION MAIL MEDAL PREDICTIONS

TOP 3
1. Ebert (Uraidla) - Would have to be the favourite but will get votes 'stolen' off him by Anderson & J.Brown. Anderson was dominant early in the season and will probably be leading the count at the halfway mark. J.Brown has kicked 3 bags of 10 or more so should poll well in those games. They are a very even side with the likes of Richards, Loffler, Zilante, McLean, Staples & Ebel likely to poll a few votes between them.
2. Trigger (Mt.Lofty) - May have a few guys in Floreani, Wood, White & Mehta who will 'steal' votes. White & Mehta have kicked a few bags amongst them which should attract votes. Floreani had a purple patch mid year but wasn't as prominent in the 2nd half of the season missing a few games with injury. Like Uri's Lofty are a very even side with Wait, O'Gorman, Artis, Temme, Peterson-Grey & Cutting likely to snag some votes as well.
3. Kartinyeri (Ironbank) - Ironbank's stand out player. Lightning Quick. Has missed a few games recently through injury & illness. Can't see anyone stealing votes off him. Naughton & Williams might take a couple off him but he is IB's best player by a long way.

The HFL president has made no secret of his love and affection for the Top 2 in the weekly footy budget. I'm sure the umps would have noticed this.

DARK HORSES
King (Lobethal) - Would be a long shot given Loby have only won 3 games but he has had a great season.
Henke (Mt.Barker) - Get's a lot of footy and stands out with his blonde mop
Gigney (Blackwood) - Great player and stands out with his bald melon
Smart (Onka's) - Had a good year. Doesn't feature in their best players often but both times I've seen him play he has been Onka's best by a mile and hasn't rated a mention in their best. Think Collo's expectations of Smart are ridiculously high.

Matt Roberts will win under 17s medal, Pea heart Pistola will come in second, and Sascha Oehrli will finish third, can anyone from Lofty tell me why pistola aint playing As??? I am always told by a the best source he isnt good enough, but i think he is, i just think he plays 17s so the LADYS think hes god gift.
