SAAFL Division 6 & D6R (2012)

[Phantom Gossiper]

Ingle Farm travel down to Smithfield Sunday. Should be an interesting hit out for both clubs for a number of reasons.
Obviously the big one - see how the Farm have progressed and whether they will live up to the off season hype.
Also the return of Smithfield to two sides, a massive step forward for the proud club.

Personally I wouldn't expect too much from either side in terms of level of performance, in particular the doggies, this is their 1st opportunity to work on their new game plans and structures and I believe it will take a couple of games before everyone fully grasps them under game situation and intensity.

I do however believe that everyone will see a significantly fitter Farm side than previous seasons with a far better attitude and greater unity.

The coaching staff at Rowe Park have done a superb job structuring the preseason - something that has clearly been lacking over the past 4 years..

I would've thought this would be the case with most sides yet did'nt stop you getting straight on the phone after our first hit out last week telling us were no good and Ingle Farm will smash us!

Consider it constructive criticism old mate

Any trials this Saturday the 17th of march?

Just keen to get out and watch some real footy.....

Grade or venue doesnt bother me

Hope Valley v Woodville South @ Woodville South
Might give you a chance to see the team you will play in the GF

I'm quite pumped to get back into it this weekend. Should be a good hit out, although I don't know how the body will hold up!

I'll be running around in the Magoos so if anyone wants to meet up for a beer let me know.

dazzler.. your body is a wonderland

Is that i am hearing right, has this game been called off as the council wont let them play on the ground with a uncovered pitch?
Maybe Ingle farm might have to put in a call to North Pines! I hear they are looking for another game!

My spies tell me Abdulla was trialled as a forward for CU on Friday night with great success.

I was told Central United won easily and the so called star didn't even play by a couple of blokes I know who were there and went to listen to him speak to the team and couldn't even here what the coach was saying

I'm also lead to believe that North Pines had a heap of blokes that didn't even play for them playing including port adelaides under 18's captain and vice captain wonder what port would say about that. Also a couple from Nhill on nearly $1000 a game and a couple of Gumeraca players also makes you wonder why they would bother playing them.

Yes we had Ports U/18 vice captain play for us and I doubt we will see him all season but I am lead to believe that if for some reason he doesn't get a game for port he will be out with us. Hopefully for his sake we never see him out with us. We had 2 other blokes play for us who I now know we will never see again, Freddy Agius and Trevor Harraldine. I had never met either before Friday night and was unsure who they actually were before the game. All others who played, definately in the last 3 quarters are all a chance to be playing with us at Nth Pines.
As for the game Central United looked really good and I was glad that in patches we held our own. I wish Dutchy, Barnsey and all at Central United the best of luck for the season ahead.

Does Bimbo have anything to do with Nth Pines?

Not sure who Bimbo is mate>

Sorry mate i just heard that the Ingle Farm V Smithfield game has been called off as they wont cover the pitch because of cricket and the Council wont let them play around the uncovered pitch. My mail may been wrong but mate.

Dont think Smithfield have any more cricket games at the ground this year do they? Also didn't Salis West cover their pitch for a trial game last year and had cricket the next day? Used fake turf or something? hmm i dunno..

Most of the time they just put cones around it and ball it up if the ball goes within the vicinity.

Actually I think 6 will probably be closer to the mark than previous season.. think this div will be so tight, there will be a log jam below woody south through to bottom..

Agreed Phantom.

Trying to pick a Ladder order is a very tough task with so many unknowns.
Adel Uni who knows, Can Houghton find support for Davis, Will Para Hills B graders make an impact at Ingle Farm (and thats not a dig at them), Have Blackfriars lost as many as people say they have, Can CU deal with no height, Will CLG continue to improve under Zed, Have lockleys lost that many and of course of the 427 ex div1 footballers Mawson Lakes have picked up will they make a differance to them only 1 things for sure in my eyes and thats Woody Sth

Yep I agree, I wouldn't even read much into results 1st couple of rounds, I think it'll take a few rounds to sort teams out.
Also dont think Houghton should be written off, if they can win all their home games and maybe snag a couple others away anything is possible..
