SAAFL Div 6 & Div 6R (2011)

[TOSSER]

Sorry, don't mean to take anything away from the big game this weekend but just noticed on the coaching vacancies thread that Smithfield have announced their coach for 2012. There has been a lot of speculation that Andy Stewart from Central United may head back there. Can anyone either confirm or deny this?

By the way, congrats to both Kenilworth and Glenunga on being promoted. Well deserved. Not to say that BOS wouldn't have deserved it either. If BOS can keep there current squad together they should be right up there again next season but there looks to be some stiff competition coming into Div 6 from both ends.

If this is the case, I wonder if the rumours that Stewart will take half the CU team with him, true or not???? Also a few ffrom AV heading back to Smithfield too!

Going to be a tight div 6 comp next year Tosser.

BOS, TOS, ML (the club formerly known as SPOS) and Houghton all back in the same div after 6 years of all travelling their own way. Will be just like old times again.

[Q.]

When Glenunga beat Kenilworth in Round 4, Bourke kicked 9 goals and was probably the difference between the two teams. He won't bag that many on Saturday, but notably, Glenunga have really shared the workload in their last two wins.

Glenunga will need to get out to an early lead and work hard to maintain it. If Kenilworth get any sort of a jump in the first half, I reckon it will be tough for Glenunga to come back against the side with the fresher legs.

Will Osborne play A's? Played B-Grade so far during this finals series, but will Baldy promote him and attempt to stretch the Glenunga defence?

surely you bring osborne into the a's. on one hand you dont want to mess with a winning formula but on the other i would think that he adds that extra bit of height to an already potent forward line.

the only time i saw him in the a grade against us this year i think he kicked 8 or so and marked everything that came his way. i would think personally on the biggest day you want that sort of a bloke playing in your best side rather than in the magoos.

fwiw i think kenilworth to do the double, 45 points in the B's and 25 in the a's.

[zedman]

after he kicked 8 against us he went overseas for 10 weeks..i dare say he didnt do fitness sessions..his choice to go overseas..timing can be a good or bad thing..he hasnt broken back into the group and a winner from the preliminary final would have to drop out after doing the "right" thing and playing and training all season..it may look silly to not pick him in the A grade but i can certainly see why he may not be and instead be a headache for Uni in the B grade..

battle of the forward lines this week..class from both clubs in their forward lines..where moser plays is also crucial as the KFC rucking division is a bit thin..if he plays CHB it may dent GFC's forwards..lots of mind games to be played..it will be a much closer game than last years GF..

Have to disagree BFG. Osbourne is definately a quality player as we know, but was terrible in the 2's against CLG a few weeks back. He didnt seem the same player he was earlier in the season. Im not sure if theres any reasons for that?? By him playing would work in Glenungas favour I would think as I think they have the height and strength to cover him as most other teams don't. So the coaching staff have a huge decision to make. There is plenty of pro's and con's for his selection. I believe Glenunga will win this weekend by about 20 points. Should be a great game though. Good luck to both teams. The best 2 teams are playing and thouroughly deserve their promotion IMO.

now that you've said that i do remember him not doing a lot in the b's that day. im sure current form and trainings etc. will be taken into consideration and the coach will make his decision.

[Q.]

Bourke will need to enforce some accountability from the rebounding Kenilworth defence. I'd be hitting up his half-forwards early in the piece, get them in the game early, while at the same time bypassing Moser.

Kenilworth must be wary of moving the ball direct and quickly, so that Andrew Mitchell and Britton aren't able to float back across half back with ease.

good point on the KFC half backers..goldsmith hare or even taylor all will run off their men..make them accountable..and go around the big guy at CHB..holding bourke karvelis and buss x 2 up forward will be the key to winning..

Something for both teams to consider is -

Saturday Possible shower. Min 9 Max 15

It it rains you wouldn't want to be too top heavy

[norm11]

Along with a lot of other people I got the two grand final teams correct.

Glenunga should forfeit now then. Have about 10 or 11 blokes built like crabs in their team.

Does anyone know how the points system works?
