SAAFL Div C3 (2011)

Yeh satchel if they don't have those extra guys it would b a easy one for smosh. Just going by when they played you guys and para hillsthey had those extras fill in cos it was a triple header. I know smosh have a few out in there a grade so smosh won't be full strength. It will be interesting game if they do have those players

[kickinit]

well it looks like the top 5 is set the only change that I could see is a very little chance that mitcham might take 2 off SMOSH, SMOSH would have to loose to season though. It looks like SMOSH have dropped off the pace a bit that last round vs Flinders Park should show us where there at.

[SATCHEL]

Looking at the results on the weekend. Havent seen it go like that for a long time. Top 5 playing bottom 5. Massive scores. Only concern would be GG. To play against Pooraka and really not puit them away, just like us against Seaton. We did not take the advantage of playing a lower placed side.
My lads pretty much had a real day out. Although we were very ordinary early on. Pembroke had low numbers but were still able to get 1-2 men loose and score in the first quarter. We were still unable to put 4 quarters of footy together. I know the score line says differently, but when you are looking at playing finals and having a home final at that. You want consistancy and full game efforts. Good first quarter with 9 goals then went to sleep kicking 6 in the 2nd and 3rd, but running away for a seconf time this year kicking 11 in the last quarter. I will say that it was disappointing to see a club like Pembroke only barely put a side together. Still needing to rely on B graders to come back. Even then 2 of them left in the last quarter. The look on the coaches face when they left said it all (not too mention the thumping they were getting). Some of those POS guys need to have real good look at themselves and support their club.
On another note the POS club ump is less than what i would call an official. He tried his gardest to give POS shopts on goal and on several occasions just plainly made rules up. Not good for the game.

Our C grade would have been happy with the 10 goal win satchel, this week we had a heap of players missing from our C and D grade, there were 4 players that played 2 games (myself included) on saturday. Both grades should get some players back in the next couple of weeks and all will be fighting for spots in the finals teams. Considering our C grade only needed to win to keep hold of 5th spot and they are not looking like moving any higher a win by 1 goal or 10 goals didnt really matter in the end.

[SATCHEL]

Whats the calculation for % again? I have been doing it and im coming up with a difference of 5% on our. Anyone able to help?
Top 5 sorted now. Even iff GG dropped the last 2 they would be 1 game clear. I dont think thety will though. GG have POS and CBC. GG would want to ring in advance of they want to find out if they have a game against POS this week?
The only changes i could see happen is Smosh and Mitcham. Seaton will give Smosh a run and then look at a definate loss to FP in the last game whci would be a cracker to watch. One game i will probably go and watch. The finals games will be a cracker. Will be corrected if im wrong but is it that FP will get the week off and then Sosh to play Mitcham and us (Portland) to play GG?
Week One:
1. FP Bye
2. Smosh vs 3.Mitcham Match of the first week
4. Portland vs 5. GG

Week Two:
1. FP vs Mitcham Match of the second week to play off in GF
3. Smosh vs Portland Huge game, cracker game.
Week Three:
GF: FP VS (would like to optimistic here and have a huge upset and say Portland but you never know) ?

Predictions For Finals:
I can see Mitcham getting the job done against Smosh
Us accounting for GG
Smosh and Portland in the second week to play for the spot against FP.

I hope the above is correct by way of schedule?

Didnt mean for that to come across negative mate. I would be happy with that sort of win also. Just reiterating that we havent taken advantage of lower placed sides like others have this year apart from PH and POS.

All good mate, didnt actually read it as a negative anyway. I think that our C grade have missed those big wins that you speak of also, not really putting the lower sides away when they should. They may have a few weeks off now before finals if POS dont field a side and the possiblity that CBC may not in the last round also, not the best lead up to the finals you wouldnt think and with us in the D grade having this week against PAC and a forfiet already in the last round not much chance of the guys dropping back for a run if needed. Have POS been forfeiting lately?

week 3 would be the loser out of FP and Mitcham vs the winner out of SMOSH and Portland Then the winner out of that game would play the winner of FP and Mitcham in the GF.
Like I always say finals footy is a different ball game anyone on any day can get the job done. Seeing that in the second half of the season the only big win between the top 4 sides was mitcham over SMOSH it should be interesting.

[SATCHEL]

Tex POS have pulled the pin twice as have CBC. One more and they are done for the year. Not much when there are only 2 games left in the season. Sh!tty if they do. Imagine if the top 5 was gauged on the games they are involved in?
Cheers Kick
Cheers for the % formula. Never calculated it beofre. Im sure the league is correct, then again stranger things have happened.

Considering we could barely see the ball in the second half it wasn't a bad effort !!

[SATCHEL]

What do you mean Choc? Was it raining up there on Saturday? We couldnt have asked for a better day to play footy really. Beautiful day.

[kickinit]

SMOSH vs Seaton big game for SMOSH they are a better side the Seaton this year but like any rivalry game emotions usually play a big part of the day and usually any team can get up. SMOSH by 6 goals

Pooraka vs CBC Pooraka should get the job done easy 7 goals

Portland vs Mitcham Sorry Satchel but I have to go with Mitcham but doesn't mean I don't give you guys a chance but I think it will a close game and should be a cracker. Mitcham by 3 goals

Pembroke vs Golden Grove If GG think they are any chance of being contendors come finals they need to win by 20goals plus

Flinders vs Para Hills my tip for this just to make it interesting Para Hills not to fill a side.


Finals are going to be interesting. If Satchel boys can say in touch with Mitcham or beat them I give them a real good chance of making it to the GF. Flinders park haven't lost a game and don't look like they will, as long as they keep focused at the end goal and not think it will just happen they should be there come GF day. Smosh i think have droped of the pace a little next week game should tell us if there still in contention. Mitcham have done a swap with SMOSH, if they had got there game going since the start and din't have those big losses against SMOSH and FP you would say they would be in 2 spot. GG just seem to be making up the numbers really can't see them getting passed Portland rd1 of finals.

[Choccies]

What do you mean Choc? Was it raining up there on Saturday? We couldnt have asked for a better day to play footy really. Beautiful day.

Nope spot on for the 12 o'clock and 2 o'clock games but a 4.30 start on a day like that is bad. First half was the setting the sun and the second half was the lights that definitly aren't up to night football. Was so bloody dark !!! Apart from that, was a great day and everyone at Pooraka seemed to enjoy the day. Was nice to kick a couple too...

I did it for Waz. He's my secret hero....

[SATCHEL]

SMOSH vs Seaton This wont be as easy as some may think. Seaton can be a good outfit on the day. They pushed us up until the last 5-10 mins of the game. Some key players for Smosh (about 4) need to be stopped for them to have a chance. SMOSH by 7-10 Goals
Golden Grove vs Pembroke Agree with Kick on this one. If POS can fill a side, whcih might not happen seing taht the distance to go to play footy might make POS lazy again. If there is a game GG must accou8nt for them. GG by 5-6+ Goals
Para Hills vs Flinders Park Geez this will be an ugly day for PH. FP beat us by 22 goals early on tehn by 7 points the 2nd time round. We smashed PH by 182 points without having a full side. You can only imagone what is going to happen here.If FP get there with everythign going........FP by 150 pts plus
Pooraka vs CBCOC Although what side will CBC have. The normal side that gets a treatment most weeks or the fairly decent side taht has made a few appearances this year? If its the same old side Pooraka will win by 5 Goals +. If its the better CBC side it would be a different story. Coming down to it i think Pooraka should win.
Mitcham vs Portland. Prety much match of the round and season for us. Mitcham are now the new force towards the finals. They are not cocky about their current position or game style like other sides in the top 5. We have the upmost respect for them and the way they go about it. We dont have the same side as we did in round 8 in which im sure they wont either. We have learnt and done a lot more since then. It will be a great game, but we do have significant losses due to work commitments. Everything will be crossed and hopefully will be a different outcome to what happened earlier in the year.

[SATCHEL]

How does it work if the side taht is capable of having a home final can. Then how is it decided what Neutral ground it is played on? As important, is it definately Sundays that C grade finals are played on. It was discussed but cant rmemeber. Can you put in a request to play on a Saturday as the programs have dtaes for that finals week?

I think that you will find that most of the C1-C6 games will be Sunday on the first week maybe the second I believe. As for home finals I think you get offered the opportunity to buy the home final, we have been offered in for our C grade the last couple of years but declined. I think they then go to the best available ground and would probably offer the better grounds to C1 and go down from there. I cant see why you couldnt ask to play on the Saturday if you were looking at a triple header I suppose, I would assume the side you are playing against would have to agree on this also?

[SATCHEL]

That clears up a few things cheers mate
