TBS,
Robbie looks on target for the ton, eh?
Heard you've pulled* you C grade? (looking on iscore, that appears untrue)

[Sponge Bob]

Yeah he has a very good footy brain and is comfortable in front of the group. Would have to be the coach of the year in our league for sure. Has taken a side that didn't play finals to where we are now. Doesn't have the resources or budget of most other clubs either which is a credit to himself and his assistant...

IMO I think our pressure on the ball carrier was match winning and something that flinders didn't handle that well. When our pressure dropped off, they worked their way back in. It's good as a footy side that we have our destiny in our own hands in that if we come with the right intesity and frame of mind, we win.

BH, I heard you kicked the final goal that sealed the win, bet that gave you a little bit of satisfaction!

C grade is gone.

Broddie had to kick 9 goals a game over the last 4 to get the tonne. Only kicked 7 on the weekend. Still very possible for him to do it though. Does it still count if you kick goal no. 100 in the finals? Might have to rent a crowd to run onto the ground for him!

[Punk Rooster]

so you C grade kick 30 goals in a win over Woody South, & they're gone?
Please explain?

I'd say 100 goals in a year, with or without finals is still 100 goals- either way, he's got the leading goal kickeing sewn up.

Just a quick question...

Why does the EP A grade coach bother playing in the B's? Not a bad grab and a decent kick on him but didn't do much at all on Saturday. May aswell just not play and give someone else a go, because once he comes off to get ready to coach the A's it leaves the B's with 1 man down.

p.s Anyone would of thought EP had won the GF the way they celebrated in the A's - what a carry on

Minor premiership is almost as important. He probably plays because he enjoys it and is worthy of his spot, you can't judge him on one game, I know that he's been a pretty handy forward over the years, he's only 33.

Fair enough. Would be interesting to see what would happen if a few players got injured though and it was a tight match...play out the game? or take yourself off? Seems a bit selfish.

[yeva]

you'd have to make the call on the day....
reckon he would play out the game, if tight.
i'm sure he's got assistants or captain that could hold the fort?????

if the guy likes to play footy let him play have seen him play and he can
play trust me he destroyed us the rumour is he will be playing the hole
game from here on,the leadership and assistant can do pre game stuff,
for the a grade.

Got no problem with Payney playing in the two's. Eastern Park Under 18s are crap and so I don't think he's taking a spot off any promising young kid, and I'm sure he's a massive asset to helping the young guys he does run out with. Blokes like Walton are there as well, and he doesn't coach the B Grade, just plays, so I wouldn't think he's making all the decisions anyway. If the bloke still loves his footy, why not let him play? Still be the best player in that side when he wants to be.

[boozehound]

Shobtop, you sound a little bitter....oh well.

You must remember you are a long time retired from footy! He loves to play the game still, why should he have to chose between coaching and playing two's? Still contributes and is playing with his best mate. will be extremely important player for the Bs particularly come finals time.

As for the after match celebrations......I think its hilarious you have even brought it up. We won a very close and hard fought game that may decide top spot, which does comes with certain advantages come finals time. Everyone picked against us and it was at their home ground...footy is an emotional game mate, part of what makes it so great. Certainly didn't get too carried away with it.

Excuse me, I picked you...

[boozehound]

Oh sorry I do remember you picking us FC, great tipping

Only one!!!!???? Not happy Jan LOL

Thats all good I had my hair cut and everything for ya's....

I have no problem with it either. Just wondering thats all; probably the only A grade coach i know who has a run in the B's before hand.

Not bitter either Boozehound, you guys are top for a reason - disapointed though we couldn't get up on our home deck. Didn't think you got carried away with the win though? Ok...

[boozehound]

Are you doing a back flip or asking me if I thought we got carried away? Not sure from your post....

[tunit]

MMMM - those advantages you are thinking of BH might not be coming your way if rumours travelling down here are right.
Seems all other clubs in the division have approached league about you not having finals with crowd behaviour, facilites etc.
Care to answer BH. Doing the traps that one all over Adelaide. As we have it down here you are sure to have heard it there.

No facility, ordinary supporters etc no finals. League is deciding according to a good source there BH and you likely not to have em

You'll find that it happens more often hen you think, D.Ryan Greenacres coach played magoos a couple of weeks ago and G.McIntosh PNU also played magoos on the weekend according to D4 thread. Probably more often in the lower grades.

Plus the expected rise in car break ins when the $1500 fee to host a final is due!

Honestly that talk is a bit ridiculous. As far as facilities go as long as the changerooms have four walls and a roof, no-one should complain. Time for a few people to harden up. As far as the spectators go, a few need to be put in their place. Threatening other spectators isn't on(even when they do bite off more than they can chew!). Perhaps the freindly local constable should be the one to do it?

Agreed on the change rooms - it's not like you spend much time in there anyway.

I must say though, if we have to venture out to EP in the finals series so be it....at least it's their own oval they will be littering with an endless amount of debris.

[Robran]

I would say the second and third most predominant posters behind you Shrek.

Should be good. Still cant wipe the smile off my face....

So Falcon Chick, what did you think....?

I saw the first half, which was pretty tight and you lot only broke away part way through the 2nd really... what I was most interested in, was the way Carey conducts his quarter time activities.
He speaks very well too(or was he being good for the camera )

He is very good coach with a lot of knowledge about the game and playing group
respond to him has done a great job this year,but still a finals series to be played
so maybe then we will judge him.
