2012 Division C2

[SATCHEL]

Yep thanks jimmy. Your 100% correct. Got told by the league personally that there was no issue. Great hit out by my lads today. Didn't start well at all. To win the game after being three goals down after the first break was a good effort. Funny thing is we haven't played four quarters of football all year except against unley where we turned it on. I'm going to be really excited when we do. We haven't had a hit out like today so it's good to get that leadin into next week. Just like our a grade we were written off early coming into another division. Very proud of my lads. Looking forward to tomorrows result. Hope you have a good one tomorrow LMA.

Watched the game at Largs Reserve yesterday. Districts looked good from the start. Athelstone started to win a bit of the footy after the 1st break. Very different looking side for Athelstone that ive seen in the past. Guess that a luxury of having other grades in the finals also. I didnt get to see the last quarter though. I had to leave half way through the third. That biggish bloke up forward for Dizzies did well. For a more solid type he has some leg speed and can kick a few Athelstone had some key tall players that were rather fast and ran through the lines. Basic skill issues for both sides but as i said. Districts just has that thing about them this year and seem to have the experience where it counts. The on ball brigade were solid yesterday. Athel;stone will hopefully have the yips in front of goal this week. 15 points just like us with 18 is very difficult to manage when its a close game. All the effort for no real reward. I will say that the umpiring was very whistle happy for the 3 quarters i saw. Some very average decisions paid both ways. I heard the last call was one of those. Cant go against Districts for taking advantage of a call like that. Any side would and should take advantage with not long to go. You woudl however think with the experience of the officitiating would have been of a higher standard. Looked more like AFL umpiring than anything else Put a bot of a dampner on the game. Athelstone will be very keen to make ammends after that loss. Hopefully it wont go too much that way.

We were probably lucky to get the win, nothing to do with the umpiring but Athelstone's inaccuracy, but our pressure on the ball carrier and intensity at the ball could of contributed to that. With scores level with less than 2 minutes to play we were awarded a free kick for a ruck infringement, something to do with the circle, we got it forward and after a bit, the biggish solid fella you mention took a mark and had a chance to kick the winning score from about 30 out but tired legs seen it just fall short, fortunately one of our mids gathered the crumbs off the pack and snapped the match winner with about 10 seconds remaining. Athelstone looked a bit gutted after the game so they will be hell bent on making amends this week, watch out for the dirty dog they have playing up forward who bit a nice chunk into the bicep of one of our players.

Looking forward to play the Jets this weekend for a spot in the GF, with all 3 of their grades finishing top we are probably looking at a triple header there on Saturday which is not ideal for us seeing as we played late yesterday.

Are you serious? What a joke that is. No place for that on the field, if true (as you always have to get both sides) You guys should go all out to do something about it. You guys had a vidoe camera there? Although we couldnt use it as us dumbers down her in the Port and at Largs would have no Cred. Just street cred. On the big solid fella up forward for you guys. Seems a likely lad. Might approach him for his services next year Dont really know the bloke that well as we went to different schools together when we were little girls.

Our bloke who was bitten is one of the fairest and honest blokes going around but when it happened he wanted to belt the bloke but refrained so he didn't get reported, he went up to the umpire and showed him the bite mark but the umpy said he couldn't do anything cause he didn't see it.

The draft this week has
Unley vs Districts on Saturday 10.15 @Unley
Athelstone vs Portland Saturday 2.15 @Athelstone

I know you dont like it too much but getting on Unley's oval before any other side is a benefit LMA. We are playing after Athelstone's B grade which is a bit different. Would rather play the Sunday if it was possible. Oh well we soldier on

Satchel, why would you want to play on a sunday? you have not played on a sunday all year. Wouldn't saturday be a normal time slot?

Reason beingmate is thats what we palyed last year in the finals. Scheduling is shceduling. Athelstone have earnt the right to host and Saturday is what it is. My lads are happy with it. Although we are scheduled to play after their B grade final. Just comes down to personal preference i spose. Plus we would like some support from our club and our supporters, any side would especially during a final. Nothing else

I've seen some pretty dirty/bad things on the footy field, but this would probably be the worst I've seen. It left a noticable mark straight away. Will be intersting to see what comes of this. The player in question doesn't seem to be a stranger to on field incidents, he was sent off last week too.

[Iron Fist]

I know we still need to win on the weekend, but would the following weeks finals be held on a saturday or a sunday? Executive member, jimmy??
I think saturdays are much better.

Lst year we played the Sunday matches even when we had a home final. This year it has been different obviously. I guess it comes down to oval availability. For example we couldnt have a home final at our ground as our Super rules were playing a double header on the Sunday. Things like taht and the fact this week Athelstone have the home final and have chosen to play on the Saturday. Could be a league thing as well im not too sure. Its getting harder to have officias and the like available on a Sunday so i think the word is gettiing to the Saturday so everyone is free to help out. Could be wrong though, it has happened

[SATCHEL]

Lookign forward to this weeks second weekend of finals.
Unley Vs Disticts - Should be a cracker. Unley have a younger more fitter side but im not sure what that will mean coming into the finals against a more experienced side like Districts. By the looks Green will more than likely play the C grade. A solid on baller with a bit of pace will need to go with him all day. Just seems to find the footy so easily and gets through traffic in the same. Plus playing in the 2's will help Unley. Unley would need to shut down Districts midfield from the outset. Rocket will need a solid tag. Most of the guys have a good footy brain so Unley will need to be on their toes. Especially their gun forward. Not sure what Districts will be like on the Unley Deck. Big difference to Largs. For me, Districts by 3 goals

Our game Vs Athelstone - Should be just as good. I didnt recognise a lot of their players on Sunday watching their game against Districts. A lot of new faces. They will be very strong on their home deck. They never used a zone type defence (from what ive been told) and since playing us ive been told they are. Their set up of 3, 4, 3, 1, 3 looks impressive. Did stop Districts on a few occasions and were able to push the footy back in without a drama.Their run off half back was just as equal as their defensive pressure inside 50. Beng able to have that one player losse out back helped them well on Sunday. By any means its going to take the strongest side that wants this more and play the looser of the above game. Again that will be played against Unley.

Is it true Nick Williams kicked 4.10 against Lutheran, Satchel?
Also what are your thoughts on unley's ground? I've only played cricket there... does the oval run east to west as opposed to north south? pretty short isn't it?

[SATCHEL]

The oval does go that way mate. To me it seems a little shorter (half the time i compare ovals and their not dissimilar to ours). Thenorthern wing seems to go on forever. Thankfully for Unley it wont be to bad under foot. Depends again on the treatment it copped over the weekend and during the week. If its heavy under foot you guys should benefit better from that.

[lutz]

The weather has been pretty good this week, and wouldn't have been any games played on it last week? The oval could be in average condition by the time Unley A's get onto it though.

Exactly what i thought when i saw the draw. Flinders Park initially said yes to a triple header untilt Jacko put a stop to it. Only one game before the 1's was mentioned. Silly if you ask me playing those games before yoru A grade, but i dont think an extra day off will really mean anything in context. Unley have had two weeks off so it wont matter.
