For god sake, just because their parents had some money and sent them for a private education does not mean the player is soft. The whole arguement is purely based on that assumption that a Private Education = Soft. Have played with and against some wonderful College players and none of them are soft. Certainly the theory that Adelaide University is soft, is the biggest lot of crap I have ever heard. They are as hard at the ball as anyone. Your idea of soft is questionable. Hardness is going for the football and not forging a reputation as a club that snipes, king hits, belts people when not looking and just plain digusting people. Those people and clubs are not hard or tough. Indeed some of those clubs are soft as butter because when they are put to the test and made to go for a hard ball, they pull out and try to belt someone. Toughness is about putting your head over the ball not being a thug



I think someone has had their hair parted down the middle before ha ha.

Disrgard Jimmy's posts I'd say.... anything posted at 2.35am after a day on the cans can't be taken too seriously !! ;)
I love grapes. With grapes, you always get another chance. You know, if you have a crappy apple or a peach, you’re stuck with that crappy piece of fruit. If you have a crappy grape, no problem-just move on to the next. ‘Grapes: The Fruit of Hope.

Sorry Marbles - I accused you of being Shrek - I'm sorted - After a weekend of reading the 2008 D4 Forum, I now have a small idea of what I am talking about

Have never played against a college team of poofs that were not soft. They have been born with a silver spoon in their mouth all there life and are given a great run with the umpires as well. Clubs like PAOC and Uni and SPOC its just a joke playing them. A few wacks in the choppers and they run and cry to the teacher who then "consoles them" behind the bike shed

Not really a problem HH

The bloke that wrote it has suffered some very embarrassing losses to college sides in the past couple of years

My opinion for what its worth is that college sides arnt "soft" as such they play a different style of game. They play a running skilful game and the best way to beat them if not at their own game is by playuing tough footy not allowing them to get space to run and carry. Ive played many games against college sides in the last few years and some of the toughest have been against Pembroke and SHOC.

When it comes down to it when your playing footy and its your turnt o put ya head over the ball you must otherwise you have a seat on the pine.

Well maybe they are a little softer than the rest ;)

That's how Portland won the D4 premiership last year - they ensured that their midfield did exactly that

Its no secret how they play 2 handballs around the back then either run or kick.... pressure them physically and they cant play their game
