SAAFL Div 3 & Div 3R (2011)

[hollywood7477]

how unfair is that on our B grade then:

They beat FLinders by 6 goals at Home
Then lsot to FLinders by 7 goals away.

if you go on those stats you would suggest fluidners 2's are a ten goal better side at home. So they get a game at home, that they didn't earn, due to a ridiculous fairness oversight! Who have Flinders got working at the SAAFL this year!?!

Old iggies did it to us last year finished 5th in the b grade and yet finished 2nd in the a's but asked to have their b grade follow their a grade so our bs had to play at their ground yet our a's who were also in the elim played at CBC. The amateur league will always look at the higher placed a grade team.

Turbo it has always been like that makes a lot of sense to do it like that also. Was a supporter of the PORTLAND SMOSH game on the week end was very intersting game. Would have been very different if RAE kicked staright. What are peoples thoughts on Flinders - Portland this week and key match ups? Ohara to win the medal for me tonight over Bird.

Hmm this is a strange one, i think Rae only kicked 2 points for the day and kicked a few goals that would have been 50/50s at best so i think his return was about were it should have been also we kicked someting along the lines of 3 goals 8 in the last quarter and 1 of those goals being after the siren, alot of those points were very kickable so if we go down that path we could have came away with a 6 goal win

Hear that S Beer has been poached by rival club as asst to a grade???

He wont be going anywhere, he bleeds red black and white..........lol

[hollywood7477]

My thoughts on the medal I think laslett will poll better than bird. Laslett is a proven vote getter so I think he is portlands best chance. Ohara will poll well umpires love him. Rae wouldv win it if he didn't get injured and from Mitchams side I think Mason will charge home. Rowe, tucker and Ellis will steal votes early off each other. Thatch might get a few for PH but they didn't win enough games so I think if he does get votes it will be 1 vote not 3 he would need to win the medal.

$$$$$$$$ might be a well paid job. isnt the same club that have offered $200 game for a b grade player to move across.

Laz won our club B&F the other night from Birdy but i get the feeling Laz talks back to umpire a bit to much, so have birdy a fraction ahead of him in the votes, Robby wilson has also been a big vote getter from the umpires,
you would think o'hara is a big chance considering no mirando or vissa made there top 4
margatich and thatch in the same boat imo that there teams didnt win enough games for them to win but will poll lots of 1s

It is a stupid rule that needs looking at ASAP.
If your Bs finish top they deserved to be looked after like a top side should be & get a home final.
If i was your president i'd be fighting like cat & dog for that home final you rightly deserve.

My feelings on the Match Portland will win easy and get promotion!
I don't think FP have the strength to stop Bird around the stoppages or the ability to shut down blokes like laslett, Cocciaro, wilson.

Didn't laslett play on Rae last week and Rae had 6 at 3qtr time.

Yeah he stood Rae, bad move in my opinion. Rae would have kicked 6 on anyone he stood and Portland lost lasletts influence in the middle. Changed in last qtr and was telling

[piccachu]

probably would have had 10 on any one else!

Ha thats what I was thinking. That last quarter felt like it went for about 2 hours. After every behind you'd think 'surely the sirens about to go!'

Think Rae Kicked 6.3 or something like that? So not sure inaccurate is correct.

Thach or Rowe to win the medal. Portland to beat Flinders in an upset.

Laslett was probably close to BOG when in the middle in the last quarter... Cocciaro looked like he pinged a hamstring at one stage, then proceeded to run out the game like a greyhound.

Agree with you turbo, Portland to knock off Flinders in a close one. In saying that, Flinders winning would not surprise.
Massive game for us this weekend. 2 close games during the season should make for another cracker.

[HawkieRanger]

Both games Saturday should be close, all 4 teams have been very even throughout the year, as reflected in the ladder at the end of round 18.

Agree with Muffler - Portland to knock off Flinders.

We haven't beaten SMOSH...ever...can't think of a better week to do it, but will always be tough @ SMOSH.

Would love to see one of our blokes get up tonight, but would say they'll steal a few votes from each other. I'd think Mason would get more votes than Rowe, but he is a proven vote getter, we'll see...

[footymad23]

I wasnt refering to Rae all day sorry didnt make it clear. They were 4 points down or so and Rae had a shot from 3 metres out that missed portland went down other end and kicked a goal. Just saying would have been interesting if he kicked that might of given smosh a bit of a lift knowing they had hit the front again.

Flinders to beat portland
smosh to beat mitcham are my tips
