SAAFL Div 7 & Div 7R (2011)

[morell]

Wow. Ok.

North Pines have ditched the wet sail and have fired up the outboard motor it seems.

To roll one of the top 2 sides in the comp by 40 odd points on their home deck would have to make them a genuine promotion chance.

[the dirty dog]

have the finals started two weeks early ? just a thought when i saw mawson lakes score!!

[AKA]

North Pines have some real talent that could easily play at much higher levels, as do other teams in the div. Got a lot of talented indigenous lads.

HUGE chance! Unbelievably talented outfit...they're gonna cause major damage in September!

They were most impressive on Saturday AKA. And arguably their best Willie Sansbury didn't play

Been very quiet on here of lately and would love to here whats going on around the league. Big game for Mawsons against North Pines who have been coming home with a wet sale. Anyway Im fired up for this one and just for Jugsy heres my tune for the week http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gx7uQrt4Enc

Milly that girl sings like a cat with a golf ball stuck down it's throat! That song is terrible and she's hideous!

Looks like North Pines have thrown down the challenge to SHOC. Haven't beaten SHOC and they won't this year.

[The Cheese Eater]

Jugs has nothing to do with SHOCs, dont take the bait.

Really good crack at it mate, can't fault it in any serious way. Potters doesn't really play back there but I understand it's hard to fit in all the midfielders.

I would also add in Adam Hay and Craig Rayson as unlucky to miss out on a defensive post. Matthew Davidson was probably our best player earlier in the year before his knee started getting to him as well.

Oh...

And Brad Steele.

Didn't Potuszynski start the year at CHB Morell? I reckon he played there for a bit against us the first time around.

Probably a few SHOC defenders may lay claim to some positions in the back 6 but wouldn't know which ones, they all look the same plus they change their guernsey numbers all the time

Not being biased at all but Shane Stanley I think is out and out the best CHF in the comp but has maybe missed a few too many games now, on the other hand he does do an exceptional job at CHB also when he has had to go there....our regular CHB young Duncan Brown in his first year of senior football has also been brilliant and hasn't been beaten all year.

For all the mice out there reading this, The Cheese Eater has nothing to do with eating cheese, don't take the bait

Polky has been great for us this season TT. Has missed a couple through injury, but has dominated a couple of matches (kicked 9 one week) and would be in out Top 10 for the B&F, but he along with Kennett, Ralph, Duncan and Smits I couldn't squeeze in (would like to have!). Rob O'Gorman and Brenton Reidy have been clearly our best this season while Stanley was on fire early in the season for us, Novosel has been good again this year off a flank and Bruce-Gordon has been rejuvenated as a small defender. This is the 3rd year I've picked a side and it's arguably the strongest I've done.

[DKL]

With TTG now outside the top 5 and needing to win their last 2 games to make the finals could we see some players dropping down from Div 1 due to 'form' and perhaps even Sean Chambers coming back out in order to get them to qualify? I know if I was in charge down there that's what I'd be doing, especially considering the higher grade teams are no chance of playing in the major round.

[Q.]

Nah, I see they've already rolled out the turf pitches in preparation for cricket season

[morell]

Didn't Potuszynski start the year at CHB Morell? I reckon he played there for a bit against us the first time around.

He is a bit Adam Goodes-ish in that he could play anywhere and often does, but I would reckon he spends >70% of his time moving through the midfield.

He has dropped back to fill a hole and provide rebound on occasion though - usually when we're under pressure.

Also seen him named at Full Forward!

They dropped a few against us from D1R and to be quite frank, they didn't really provide anything over and above the guys that normally play C's.

Unless Pitt and Wicks turn up in their C Grade I think TTG will miss out.

They've played Chambers this season, they might again and he'll be very useful at this level.
