SAAFL - Division 4

[Dogwatcher]

I actually thought that's what you're getting at.
Reads the ball very well - it was always his gift. Cos he's been a slow runner all his life.

His brother David played up this way last year for Waikerie. Not sure what the connection was that brought him there.

[smac]

Hard unit and top bloke is Dave, played all my juniors with him - he was the one who got smacked on the noggin with the trumpet after the 17's GF.

Fitness coach at Norwood this year, after he told Jack to stick it at Port a couple of years ago. Was also Sturt fitness coach in '02.

Alot of non-Portland people seem to have alot of interest in the ins and outs of the club. Maybe they want to be involved....hmmm

[Northside Fraud]

Even in Saying that SMAC he has dropped 10 -15kg from last year and
won the Div 4 or 5 medal in 2005 I think with the weight on.
( Pag will know of course ).

In his spare time this year also managed to coach the 18's to a flag
from 4th spot going into the finals. I'm sure anyone who saw him stitch up Mitcham 2 weeks ago
especially the Mitcham coach would tell you the man can play.

In fact they will tag him this week.
Football Brain is what get's him by and not a bad left foot to go with either.

[smac]

Indeed he did Fraudy, had forgotten that medal.

Good to hear the lads won the flag too - Salisbury just keep chalkin' 'em up in juniors, a senior one has got to be getting closer...

I just read what I wrote and it came out poorly - what I meant was that him being fat and slow will not change the game as he has been that for years. Reads the play better than any at that level and has plenty of impact on the game because of it.

I'm fairly certain he knows that he's fat and slow.

your right he has been but in finals pretty hard to get away with.someone just has to man up on him and he is gone because he is a receiver. was terrible from the 2nd half that i watched.

[bulldogs]

this area gone very quiet. im tipping mitcham to get over salisbury, as long as couzner is in the guts when the weather is hot salisbury to struggle. he looked way off it in the 2nd half against para hill from what i watched, was getting to the contest when the ball was gone to fat to slow, likes to suck off and go forward waiting for it to be dished out to him.

your backing mitcham and the back of one bloke no playing well in the centre??????????

not on the back of one bloke i have been saying all year that mitcham are a good side, just think couzner is a important player to salisbury and i dont think he is up to it.

I guess we'll find out on Saturday - I will have to bow to your call for last week as I didn't get to the game.

[Felch]

Do we know what ground the GF is being played at ? In saying that, which side would Para Hills prefer to play ?
IMO, this weeks game is an absolute 50/50, the home ground maybe slightly turns it in Salisbury's favour, but Mitcham would have to rate their chances. This is the third time this year they will have played there, so surely some lessons have been learned.

bulldogs, a fair call with the fact it's hard to get away with in finals and the man up factor but have disagree with the fact he's a receiver, more often than not he's doing his fair share of work in and under packs.
i do agree with you comment on him in the second half of last weeks game, terrible doesnt come to mind as he still did some work but run out of steem would be closer to the mark and para hills on ballers were very good.

Salisbury cannot beat Para Hills,when you have the luxury of putting your gun full forward into the middle in the second half and him turning the game like he did then things are looking good for ya.Para Hills seemed to handle the pressure of being down by 4 goal at hlf time very well,Salisbury were out of gas big time, only Mitcham have a chance in fine conditions.Cuzzy 9 out of 10 has time to deliver because hes always out wide in general play because he cant keep up, any clown with ability can look good like that, got smashed in the second half because hes not desperate enough,if he was hed atleast attempt to chase.Salisbury presented well when going forward but i think that was their best chance to beat Para last week but they couldnt,their spent unless they have a couple of first choices available,seemed very small last week.

Couzy isn't the fittest person in A4, or the club for that matter, but the fact that he continues to find as much of the footy as he does at 31 years of age is a credit to him. He might not be the fittest, but he's the smartest bloke in A4, and his football brain will outrun alot of blokes in some cases. His last half against Mitcham two weeks ago, when it was hot, and finals football, was unbelievable. Would've had literally (and this is no exaggeration) 6 or 7 centre clearances in a row in the last quarter. Got no doubt they'll tag him this week after what he did to them two weeks ago, and I'm tipping Caeserowicz wouldn't waste his time tagging a bloke who can't play.

BOC, I can see where your coming from, but I think being 4 goals up into the third quarter means we're around the mark. If we're in that same position again, I think Morris may get a little bit more attention when he goes into the middle than what he did last week. Full credit to them, they completely ran over the top of us, the week off did them good. If we see them next week, we might do some defensive things a bit differently, and when we're not at The Paddocks, we don't see a reason why we can't beat them.

Anyway, we'll worry about Para Hills next week if we're there, Mitcham ain't gonna be a walk in the park on Saturday...

[Felch]

My tips this week -

A Grade
Salisbury by a couple of goals

B Grade
Salisbury over Para Hills, 5 goals

[beeroclock]

Whack cuz at C.H.B or H.B.F to create, and let someone else fitter to take care of damaging onballers in the second half.

fair call we both have some good points, terrible maybe harsh but he did run out of steam, maybe the coach should of moved him and used fresher legs. Anyway see how he goes this week.

What about farmers c4 team. Mitcham video taped the game and sent it into the league and 4 reports were layed from it. Mesecke club legend gets 5games another bloke 5 the captain all of next year and coach already got 1 game and not sure what he got from video. Farmers need to look seriously at pissing a few blokes off from there club all the hard work that was done to clean up there reputation has fallen by the wayside this year with there weak effort in the A-grade and half a dozen blokes around the club that cant control themselves

I'd have to agree that there are some loose cannons in that lot, I saw an umpire get decked by one of these blokes this season and he didn't want to take it any further

[smac]

Salisbury won A's by 7 goals.

[smac]

And Para Hills won the B's by 7 points.

[bulldogs]

do i have to eat mt words i see salisbury won and how did couzner go? I see Farmers C4 team won, well done to those boys who played as they were undermanned, prob showed the true farmer spirit.

[smac]

Speaking of eating words, I should do some of that.

I was really surprised when Salisbury appointed Ed as coach and told anyone who would listen that it was a mistake and would cost the club.

Regardless of this weeks result, I am obviously clueless as he has done a terrific job to get the club back in D3 for next year.
