Golden Grove Football Club - The Mighty Kookaburras

[Choccies]

Heard you guys ventured down to cove... What were your thoughts on there setup down here and teams etc... From what the lads said tuesday night they said it was a good hit out against you guys.... Just interested in the diffrences betwen the amateurs and country

Apart from the hike it was a pleasant experience !! Having spoken regularly to a workmate who plays for the Cobras I was interested to see what they were like and they didn't disappoint. We were 5 or 6 of our key regulars down, but even if they were in, the quality of your side would have still stood out. Still doesn't solve the lifelong discussion re- SFL vs SAAFl but it was certainly nice to play someone who we knew were the best in their league.
Oval was very wide and spongy and the cricket pitch set up was a bit strange but still in pretty good nick. Rooms and bar area were nice and your lads seemed a good bunch who will have another good year. Would be nice to reciprocate the game next year up our way

[Jimmy_041]

My understanding is a few players are not 100% and the selection panel is deliberating whether to take the player in. Jimmy T is ruled out until after Easter but four or so big names are in question.

Is a 70% player X better than a 100% player Y???

It's certainly an interesting scenario..... a 70% Scotty P or Scudds would still be valuable IMO but what is the risk for long term and the whole season and is the risk of harming that long term prospect worth throwing them in for round 1 ??

Scudds is one im not sure is fit for this week. I know he had a tight glute last week and missed.

A couple of the other injuries are bruised heels. Seriously painful but managable. You lose some ability to accelerate and turn and one decent knock will mean the rest of the came in pain. Unlike a soft tissue strain or tear though, it wont render you useless.

tightar$e???

[Choccies]

No that's me......

Good idea! Hopefully we can make a dent into the margin

[Choccies]

Game on moles !!!!!!!!!!!

So.... a few interesting selections thsi week hey lads ?? Pays to do pre-season don't it !!

Good luck to all 5 teams and may we start the year well...

[Johno6]

yes good luck to all golden grove teams..


and i think next year ill try do more of a pre season.. hopefully wont have any more personal interuptions etc


go u burras!!

5 wins to start the season will be nice

[Choccies]

So fellow Burra's....

What's the feeling about this weeks games ?

A's need a lift and some confidence and momentum, B's will again be tested to see if they can deliver, C's will have a tough game against PAOC but one they should hopefully win considering the talent in the side and D's will have a tough one against Hectorville at Daly Oval.

[Johno6]

i think all 4 games will be a good test to see where we are at even tho its only early days...

im hoping for 4 wins, but if that does happen will be very impressed with the guys. C & D trained very well last night considering the conditions.. If that bring that into sat that will help a great deal

Im hoping the back up voice and the run improve on last week...

and just little things like smarter options and not blaxing away.

gotta preform under pressure.

[Port boy]

great win for the A's yesterday, all the boys played well, who ever said college sides are soft are spot on the money PAOC are terrible !
Bad luck to the magoo's, but if PAOC are the bench mark then we are in for a great season.
C's kept their winning streak from last year going, well done boys
and the D grade had a tuff hit out, 21 goal winners
just need the 18's to get up today and it turns into a pretty good weekend
GO THE BURRAS

[Bulldogs007]

Is Shane Scudds still playing at Golden Grove if not where is he playing now

[Johno6]

yeah he is still there just injured for a while..



great weekend by our boys... almost the perfect result
good work fellas

[SCD]

Was back in Adel over the weekend, so went and watched the Golden Grove D Grade game...

What can I say - timekeeper was running 22 min qtrs and the Golden Grove umpire was a bloody joke..
Yellow carded some Hectorville bloke - for telling him he can't umpire for shit..
When did people get yellow carded for telling the truth??

Then in the car on the way home he has the audacity to tell me he doesn't look like a Hermit Crab in that stupid orange outfit (with the boxer shorts hanging out the bottom)..

[Johno6]

who is the d grade ump for GG??

u should of come watched us play c grade instead

[SCD]

I only headed out to the D Grade because the bloke umpiring was my brother... Kale...

Don't worry - I gave him a hard time on the way home about the boxer shorts and white t-shirt hanging out under his hermit crab outfit.. He didn't actually umpire badly (except for sending a bloke off for telling the truth ) - but when it's a 20 goal game, they are generally not too hard to umpire..

All I can say is - I'm glad I didn't have to wear that horrible orange thing when I was umpiring the C's or B's a few years ago... (if that's what you call what I did)..

[Johno6]

i reckon i know who u are, i was playing c grade back when u were umpiring (altho im back in c grade again)

trying to remember the name, i saw u n kale at the races at oakbank from a distance... is it matthew or something?

[SCD]

Yeah - we were back in Adelaide and I was at Oakbank both days with Kale..

You remembered my name as well, so you must have a good memory... obviously not drinking enough beer

[Johno6]

i just like to know the name of umpires i abuse... so the other ump doesnt think im talkin to them haha


nah just a good memory.

any chance ya wanna umpire instead of grant? aha

[SCD]

I gave up the umpiring when I moved to Melbourne..
25kg's heavier these days and haven't been out for a run in over 18 months..
except to kick the footy with the 2 little fellas..

I actually miss running around with you guys - was a good few years.. a good group of blokes!!
I know Mum and Dad miss the club also..

[BurraBoys]

Injuries are s**t
I hate my body

[Mr Butterworth]

The GG D grade umpire was terrible when TTG played them in round one.
