SAAFL Div 7 & 7R (2009)

[wattle]

west croydon 33.25 to ovingham 3. 5... w/croydon had a couple of Agraders not playing. ended up being a 4 q game as ovies only had 23 players.1/2 time score 11.15 w/c 3.3 ovingham.ovies had 4 on the bench and west croydon had at least 12, so basically ovies A gr kicked 3.3 to 11.15 which was mainly b graders fr w/c. heard a few of their players (that wasnt playing) bagging them esp 1 bald skinny guy with tatts that played last year and 1 fat defender who was asked by a person why wasnt he playing...he said i couldnt be F*****..ovies skills were very 2nd rate. they were unfit and basically not in the same league......but remember it was only a trial so they have 1 week to come up with 20 oddd players....maybe the two that were doing the bagging might suit up and showem how its done eh...in a word(or two....) ovies were ordinary and west croydon are looking the goods. well done matty mc

Well thats abit of a shock result as in margin,Yer its only a trial but not good news for Ovies,hope things improve next week.Also had a chat with klompy and he said hes going out to play Southern league cos there c grade play Sundays and hes working saturdays now so hes not playing saafl this year.Did nuggetty play for ovies and did they have any winners on the day?

I here that even Nth Pines football director K.Norris had a run for Ovies to help out with numbers. That can not be good

[Giligan]

i would say brahma beat us (pines) comfortably tonight. dont know final score but know we were not embarrsed........thought we held our own against better opposition

[nuggety goodness]

interesting summary GTB.

we got belted off the park no doubt about it. to be honest we only had about half our A grade side playing and yeah 24 players in total. WC were very good and Matty Mac has got them well oiled! their A's came in and smashed us out of the middle, we couldn't get our hands on the ball then as we were't the fittest we struggled chasing. as you said it was a trial and the blokes who played got some much needed game time. it'll take us a few weeks to get to where we wanna be with a few new names on the list but we'll be around in Sept.

as for the tall skinny bloke givin us heaps, that'd be Lance, my wife was sitting with him for a lot of the time, he was keen to be out there but is gettin over a broken foot from Xmas, don't think he was abusing us and the fat defender... i'm not sure who that is, where was he standing?

[cataroo]

i heard nth pines only kicked 10 and had about 40 goals kicked against them

[carey18]

I would be more worried about Ovingham,s performance

[Bigshow82]

Could not tell you how much we lost by buddy not sure if anybody was keeping score. Was a good hit out though.

[cataroo]

yeah the only thing that matters is next week coz trials mean nothing

[Q.]

You mean this week. Speaking of...WOOT! Round 1 is finally here, will be an exciting week on the track for us with the lads fighting for positions in boths teams.

[Bigshow82]

Thought I would take a stab at predicting Rd 1 results:

Athelstone v St Pauls Should be a good game. From what I hear Athelstone are strong when in Div7 but I think St Pauls will get up in a close one
Sacred Heart OC v Ovingham Have not heard much about Sacred Heart so will pick Ovies
Flinders Uni v Houghton Districts Houghton by about 3-4 goals
Henley v Adelaide Uni Henley will be strong this year as they were last year. Still think they should have gone up to Div6
Angle Vale v Nth Pines Simply because at this time of the year nobody thinks they will loose rd1.

Be interesting too see other peoples thoughts.

They do when u get flogged by 190 pys!

And when you are struggling to just fill 1 side a week before the 1st game...I know ovies supposedly had some players out but to find nearly 20 odd players a week before a game is a big task and surely a concern?

Sacred Heart v Ovingham - don't care it's only a trial but a 190 point flogging a week before your 1st game is a concern..SHOC by 29 points

Flinders Uni v Houghton - Flinders Uni will be improved from last year but Houghtons pre season has been going along nicely (apart from coaching issue)...Raiders by 35 points

Henley v Adelaide Uni - Sharks should be in Div 6 (disgrace!) and therefore will be too strong for The Blacks, all the quality they have got in their Div 1 side will filter down the grades...Sharks by 67 points

Angle Vale v North Pines - Angle Vale from all reports have been struggling and their Pre Season form hasn't been the best...North Pines by 19 points

['00'02'03'07]

Henley Vs Adelaide Uni
I think that Henley will be one of the stronger teams in this div

Flinders Uni Vs Houghton
Houghton will be too strong for Flinders Uni. From what I have heard Houghton have been travelling nicely throughout the preseason.

St. Pauls Vs Athelstone
As I have mentioned before I believe that St. Pauls will be the team to beat. They have recruited well and should be too strong for Athelstone.

Ovingham Vs Sacred Heart
Sacred Heart. Although players like Cookie and Matty Newman will be hard to stop for Ovies.

North Pines Vs. Angle Vale
North Pines in a close game

nth pines had trouble scoring in the second half but nowhere near 30 g. ;loss..nth pines actually looked ok, skills were fairly good just had some massively funny hairdoos and a lot of difference between the oldest (about 50) to the youngest (about 12)looked that was. nth pines will be ok imo

nuggety played...very unfit, had a little bit of it at the start but had no support....died quickly in the 2nd and 3rd went to the back pocket then bench in the last..not his best but nuggety is a good player and will bounce back...prob the best for ovies would have been the young skinny boy named matt....very quick and took em on but once again no support..prob the only one that didnt give in, but still was getting caught a bit....all in all not a good day for ovies. good training run for west croydon.

just the way i saw it nuggety...the skinny lad was bagging when he wasnt running water...maybe just disaapointed he wasnt playing. the fat defender goes by the name of richard and had a light blue t shirt on...but as i said he didnt play....but may have mis..quoted....he wasnt bagging ..just couldnt be ****** playing......it was only a trial so good luck next week.....still no goal posts? didnt say lance was abusing..i said bagging...you know ..come on ovies thats pathetic my two yo can kick better...you guys are sh....etc etcthis is what i meant by bagging.....

the defender is Richo, was our full back but i think he's sittin out this year... couldn't be stuffred is pretty much his attitude at the moment. i hope he changes his mind, he's a good player... and yeah that's lancey, def dissapointed he wasn't out there!

our A grade squad has 9 names that didn't play in the trial so will be much stronger than the team we had last week. really lookin forward to the contest this week. this is when it all really starts!!! i still back us to make finals in both grades.

I think Athelstone and St Paul's will be a draw

Flinders Uni coach has been quoted in the Messenger as them being the "fittest team in div 7"...must have had a good pre season, interesting to see how they go this year.
