SAAFL Division 7 & D7R (2012)

[Pacman]

Mr Butterworth second hand info you heard and i think ur a load of rubbish urself to get on here and make judgement when you were not there.

Racial slur to b grade player of african appaerance was made in b grade and a few aborignal players heard the racist comment during A grade from the boundary i love it how, everyone is quick to defend there club, especially on a forum, no one is every honest if comment are made but the reaction of people show how serve the comments must have been. As for the female going off after the sledging, i dont blame her when racist comments are made, low lifes like this need to check there head in as we are in 2012 not 1950. Angle Vale Football club is like North Pines, Smithfield we have alot of indigneous players and supporters.
Funny thing is in general most people who do make racist slur a usally older men that have not adjusted there heads to currents times we live in.

As for the game off footy it was a gr8 game to watch and hard fought victory by the owls, but as mentioned early Mount and Mann were not playing but ha players had tagging roles and it worked Scott Burgess would have to be number 1 big man playing in Div 7 stoped and out tapped Dow all day, Noske had average day caught holding ball 5 times , and uncle did not like the tag on him and was fustrated at sometimes try to shrug his tag was alil dirty but thats part and parcel of try to get rid of ur tag.

Whats everyone thoughts on modbury i think there bit like the owls up and down in form and can get slaughter by injuries in the top teams.

Everyone can have an opinion thats why we on a forum but i stand by what i said early and what i heard and i gunna leave it at that as the owls had the win and look forward to a rematch with a gr8

game of footy on our dung hill.

BPwizard.... You couldnt put a post on a forum like that and not expect a passionate response from the TTG side.... As always there are two sides to every story and the unfortunate thing is it overshadowed a great game, which as I said on my previous response, was won by the better team on the day....

Yes your right TTG was without Mount and about 4 others through injury and promotion to B grade, which is a tough challenge for the C's as they will lose quality players to the higher grades if there are injuries/unavailabilities up the top of the tree.... I think there has been about 13 changes to that side in 2 weeks because of these issues.... Big Pete Martin even strapped the boots on a few weeks back due to a late pull out!!

I think you will find a more settled, stronger and more experienced TTG C grade side in the back nine games..... cant reveal anymore than that at this time

But you are right we look forward to the return leg and a fantastic game against your lot from out north!!

You blokes keep bringing up the fact you have some big names playing C Grade in the last half of the year, why don't you just name them? What can the other clubs do about it? Just name em and be done with it rather than trying to be all mysterious, it's not the AFL.

Purely because they have not 110% as yet.... Once they are on the track I will let you know who they are!!

You would be naive if you thought clubs don't look at who is and isn't selected and plan accordingly. Even at this level. If a team knows in advance a player is or isn't playing it makes it a lot easier to implement a specific strategy rather than think on your feet on game day after you're already a goal or three down. This is also especially important when you play C Grade sides who chop and change a lot.

Classic example is TTG - who apparently do not tag or have any focus on other teams whatsoever - got rolled by a side who I think is inferior talent wise due to perhaps, amongst other things, superior strategy and planning. Tagging Noske and Uncle as an example. If Mann plays you will need a quick defender. If Dow is out you could maybe put in an extra runner etc etc

It can be the difference between winning and losing.

Already know who Pacman. Let's not kid ourselves, TTG are the best team we have played absolutely no doubt. And that was without the second comings. I understand the comings and goings of a 3rds team and by seasons end the A's B's and C's will all be playing finals with free interchange. That will be dangerous for the likes of AV. As I said before BPWizard, don't gloat on an unexpected win, we certainly didn't. I might just add that the 2 gun forwards who are being kept "quiet" at this time will cause a great deal more pain than my 2 ever would and will be the difference in TTG taking this comp apart. Luxury of a quality high level club my friend.

Wow from all this talk sounds like the seasons already over for most teams

[BPwizard]

Well Yank, not gloating just stating that the owls played to a game plan and come out winners, one thing i have noticed in div 7 as i have not been around the saafl for a while especially in the lower grades, come from the country league, is that the clubs with A,B,C,D. Have the luck of being competive thru all grades due to depth. And the structures stand out more professional.
I would say ur team MP is best team we have seen and most organised and structured.

As for TTG they did come out and put a runner on young Mick Gollan, so all teams take note of good players you can call it tagging or man on man.
I be very interested as you can recruit good players but sometimes may not work with the team there in you still have to gel together.
Second half of year looks exciting.

Nope, just for North Pines. Call an end to it all mate, come back to the Lodge and be my assistant C grade coach

Hahaha. Not for yours Bigshow82. Thought you might be happy taking a back seat. For the record you are the 2nd best team we have played.

You might be on the money there mate. Not sure how we are gonna match it with some of these teams in the second half of the year. Don't think you need me coming out to mess things up for you mate. Your boys are traveling nicely at the moment.

Nah actually throw the coaching away and get the boots back on. The game you played last year, you were best on ground for the 3 minutes out there.....

So these other jokers don't know about the 3 new recruits you guys are getting in the second half of the year?? Oh dear....

I won't tag Gollan at half forward but if you put him back to where he is most dangerous, then that is a different story. Teams from last year man up with him because he was dynamite off a wing last year. He was the quickest and most skillful player in Div 7 in 2011. Just a tip, let him roll.

Very happy taking the back seat Yank Man but not hard to do so when you are sitting where we are. Some good teams in Div 7 and you can't take any of them lightly. We have put ourselves in a tough position making every game in the back half of the season crucial ones.

Win a couple of winnables and your run home puts you in the 5. You will make it, of that I am confident.

Hahaha don't try stirring Masha. We will be working with what we have at the moment. Getting as close to a full strength team as possible will be the key.

TTG are probably the 2nd or 3rd best team in the comp, but they are a much better team at home, and even then you still beat them by nearly 4 goals. That would be at least 8-10 goals at a neutral venue imo, and more again at Mitchell Park.
TTG's home ground advantage makes Angle Vale's win even more ipressive.

TTG led at every change against us lutz, we kicked 4 goals in the last 6 minutes to get up. Angle Vales win was impressive no doubt, but Mount makes up the 3 goals easily. AV are just starting to get their heads around the new game plan of running both ways so they will only get better. I do rate them highly and they did knock us out in the 1st semi last year.

[BPwizard]

Mick Gollan has been on the wing a few times this year but he has also be very good at half forwrad he has kicked a good amount of goals from half forward. Last two weeks been on the wing but whn he is on half forward he has a different roll to play.
I think your spot on AV have struggled at times with the game plan and in the past they have run well forward but not back to defend, last two weeks there defence from every player has been the difference.
When MP played AV in round two the talk was that the players where really impressed how MP ran both ways and how tight they played on there opponents.
Its good to c the forum is all about footy and is showing how alive div 7 is.
