Duncs what going on with your beloved elizabeth? Not winning and all we are posting about is knocking people out?

[carey]

Mate you should talk. remember the final at salisbury? running out with your misses in a punch on in the stands lol

[carey]

i do remember that and the idiot was 7 months pregnant at the time aswell fair dinkum and she was blue'n with a chick built like a brick shithouse.

Fitzroy C's beat Adelaide Lutheran by 84 pts!

they must have a great coach

How's Chad Bourke Going? i see he kicked four goals this weekend, i would reckon he's a safe bet for the div 5 medal this year and we are three weeks in!!.

Chad goes ok. Sat was the first chance I had to see the A's (triple header), he was responsible for feeding Harty half his goals when he kicked 100+ a few years back.

[The Riddler]

heard a whisper that the hard wicket area is only covered by carpet and the umpires deemed that it was unsafe to play considering the conditions. if that true i don't blame the umpires. didn't the saafl change venues due to ground conditions in the 1st two rounds.

This is correct a bloke from our footy club was suppose to umpire there but he called if off because the centre wicket has not been covered with sand, still concrete in the middle of the ground...fair enough i say why does something bad have to happen before they do something about it.

Bit of a disgrace on Brahma Lodges part surely you would fix that, I reckon they should have to forfeit that game and give the points to Glenunga.

[Dogwatcher]

Agreed Riddler.

Good win for us on saturday after close to the longest trip in Amateurs and also considering the conditions. Close game most of the day before we kicked the first 3 goals of the final qtr, to build a 5 1/2 goal lead, only for us to relax and give up the last four goals of the game to make the last couple of minutes interesting. Happy to take the points though and move to 2-1 after our 0-6 start last season.

Kudos to Kenilworths ground on saturday. after the amount of rain we have had lately, i would have though their ground would have been in one of the best condions in the whole of amateurs. don't think our ground would have held up as well.

agree with the earlier that Bourkey looks in good form early. But cut him out and your a long way to beating fitzroy. wouldnt say he is a definate for the medal at this stage though

Fair comment that Chad is not over the line for the Medal- no one is this early in the year!
Fitzroy have depth, we don't rely on any one particular player to win- it's a team game afterall.

[bondy]

i agree that your not a one man team so to say. i think a lot of teams have underestimated you early, thats why i picked you's to beat lutheran after playing against u guys in round 1. as to stopping chad though, he is still the main cog in the engine and though, its not a definate that a team will win by stopping chad, it does make it a lot easier. he is tough to stop though.

[Benchwarmer]

That's pretty ordinary Riddler. Someone should be called to task for that little stuff-up ... the council and/or the club and/or the League!

[bondy]

don't think its the councils fault. Brahma Lodge hasnt had their cricket pitch covered with sand for years. They use some sort of soft matting (not carpet). Ill admit it is strange and can understand how when its raining its probably very slippery and think its stupid that they dont cover the pitch with sand.

Long story short, i guess the club decides to use this matting rather than sand and its their fault and probably partly the leagues fault for letting them use it all this time.

does the league know though?

Yeah that mat is a bit stupid, remember being tackled on it last year, left a nice graze all over my arm. But even funnier thing about BLs oval is last year when they were lining the boundry, the guy couldnt be bothered pushing the soccer goalposts away from the boundry that bit further so they just did the line around them. had a 5 metre indent from the natural boundry line. Very funny. Lazy bums

[bondy]

Not sure if the league knows or not, but there have been plenty of games played there with it and plenty of umpires therefore would have umpired there. You would have thought some club would have brought it up but maybe everyone is just too lazy (including ours) to bring it up. I don't know.

[Bradman]

then they threaten to kill the umpire!
the rules state if umpire thinks that is is unsafe for either players or umpires the game is to be called off
how the hell could they get away with this for so long

maybe st pauls could have played at our ground cos ours is safer than a cement slab in the middle of the oval!

[bondy]

what? they threatened to kill the umpire on saturday?

[Bully]

so you mean that i have to look forward being tackled on a surface that is like carpet when we play at brahma??

More like a hard abraisive rubber mat, nuthin like carpet. Very slippery even in the dry.
