[the big cheese]

AL went well today cheese??

haha yeah AL beat 11.16 to pultney 5.6. full back could have kicked a goal today. good start, but its only pre season, we are all optimistic but we have been in this position for the last 3 years and done stuff all. so not getting carried away.

for what its worth if AL dont make it this year my tip will be hope valley to beat havens in the gf.

would have been intersting on that back oval.
Impressive score line tho, especially with Miegel still to come... do you know if Pulteney's gun new recruits played?

Surely there is enough cash to fly him in looking at the recruiting list. Did someone win the lottery in the Parklands?

I would like to thank Nth Haven for the hit outs tonight... Goodluck for this coming season... i personally believe you'll certainly be round the mark.... cheers

Yeah thanks to Plympton for the two hitouts yesterday, the game was played in good sprits. The Red Dogs have fought hard over the past years to get into Div 4, best of luck to them this coming season. One of the goals of yesterday was to have a real decent blowout and that's what we got.

As for the games,

Our side in the first match was mainly made up of B, C and D graders and despite having a fair few new blokes and guys who haven't played with each other before I thought we worked well together. After a sloppy start I thought we controlled most of the game through the 1st, 2nd and 3rd quarters but dropped off in the last (we did have about 6/7 guys taken off to play in the second game) and I think the scoreboard would of showed Plympton as being the winners coming from behind after we were on top for most of the game.

Our side in the second game was made up of blokes apart of the A grade squad and about 6/7 blokes who played in the first game who came up to fill the bench. It turned out that Plympton did the same, there was probably about a dozen guys over both teams who played in both games. The scoreboard would have showed that Plympton won quite easily in the end but I think being a trail game our effort was still really good and that we went about it in the right way.

In both games I thought that our intensity and attack on the ball and body was at the high level it's need to be at and our skill level wasn't bad in the first game after a sloppy start and very good in the second, which was one of the big positives in the second game along with our forward 50 entries, the delivery to our key forwards was spot on. I think the biggest difference between to two sides was the the ability to move the ball quickly through run and carry and to take the game on, which Plympton did really well and better than us, they were also a bit cleaner in close too but I'm sure we will improve on those two things as we head into next week and then round 1.

Looking forward to next Saturday against Trinity now, cant wait. Footy's back!

[The Dark Knight]

Also would like to thank KFC for there hospitality... the new club rooms look really good... cheers

Have they just been done up? They looked pretty new and weren't too bad considering their size.

The ground was in beautiful nick, looking forward to playing there in round 13.

[LaughingKookaburra]

Yeah they have been completed over the past 9 months. Fantastic work from volunteers @ the club who have made facilities far more welcoming for members of the club and opposition also.

[The Riddler]

Thanks to Chad and the whole Glenunga Footy Club for hosting us yesterday, was a great hit out for both clubs I thought and we wish them all the best for the season ahead.

[countryboy]

Have just seen the recruits from the Riverland for Adelaide Lutheran - a couple of them, particularly Schoefield will be up with the best in the competition - he was an automatic inclusion in Riverland Rep teams.

[One Eyed]

Agreed Schoefield has gone under the radar with all the Meigel talk. He is a gun

[Footy Chick]

That's what they said about Ty Allen though - one man duth not make the team... but does two though?

[footy fan]

Dont worry, Both Allen and Schofield were guns in the riverland so will definently be guns in the this Division. Scholfeild just runs forward all day and knows where the goals are. Will be in the goal kickers ever week!!

Whats the connection with Luthies and these guys, they always seem to be picking players up from the country. I was under the impression they didn't pay players and they would be one of the only clubs I would believe that of.
