SAAFL Div 1 & 1R (2010)

[Jimmy_041]

May be an obvious question for some, but do SAAFL clubs have unwritten affiliations with SANFL clubs or does it change depending on whose the coach, board etc. Just noticing it seems to be getting more & more a step backwards for those, shall we say older types who still want to play the game well but dont wish to or dont have the time to commit to league footy.

Henley- Eagles
Districts- Port (obvious one)
Gepps- North

any others???

Scotch - Sturt (hurt Scotch very badly when the u17 & 19 format was changed to u18)

[Goldberg]

Hurt?? Thought there would have been an excess running around in the divvies not less

[One Eyed]

Jimmy they hurt themselves a bit there mate

You seem to think that Henley are the ones who are pumping themselves up. The hype from other people shouldn't annoy you. If you talk to people who play there of course they are going to say they WANT to win. Who has been walking round saying we're the best team by miles and stuff all the other clubs? All I've said on here about the recruits that are informative for this site, is that they will strengthen henley's side.

Henley have signed Ken McGregor and brother aswell. Rugolo is staying on, Turner and Colville are staying on. J. Stewart has gone back out to eagles. That's an effin strong lineup. Kenny and Cullen in the forward line will be deadly.

p.s remember Kenny costs no points as he's a henley junior.

Henley starting pre season on November 30. Steve Hall doesn't think they have to start as early as they did last year

We've got a few more guns boys so we can afford to start pre-season a bit later than everyone else! I've said it before and i'll say it again...and effin strong line up doesn't translate into an effin strong team.

And Goodwood start even later. What's your point about preseason training? But you are right about one thing, old adage always applies, a champion team will always beat a team of champions, as Goodwood have proven.

As I just stated shobtob, The only thing i have done is talk about the recruits that have STRENGTHENED henley, which is what you just quoted me as saying. Thats an effin strong lineup doesn't transend into, "We are the best team going around and we will smash goodwood to pieces!!!" Saying our coach doesnt think we need to start as early as last year doesn't transend into "We are the best team in the comp so we will start training later than everyone else!!!" So i think it must be outsiders pumping henley up, not us, as i said before.

Fair enough to defend your club, we all know what Henley are like though so there's no need to go into this any further. Talk all you want about recruits and how they have strengthened your side but we've heard it year after year...by the time you guys win a flag you will be known as the Henley Eagles? Gotta love the silly season

[Combuster]

What would you like me to talk about it? I discuss what I know about my club which is what this site is all about. Sharing information about what is going on in division 1. Everyone including us knows goodwood is the team to beat. And it seems we're getting closer

being from the henley, what went wrong in the GF? players went missing? you finished top and only lost 2 games for year but lost 2 finals?

Pete Smith may be heading back to Gepps Cross next year I hear.

Not sure that's correct, according to Pete Smith. Of course, minds can be changed as Pete often tends to do.

Goodwood are linked quite heavily with West from memory.
Not sure who links up with Centrals & Norwood. Glenelg affiliates with Brighton in the SFL I think...

few guys to leave Salis North next year.. a pay dispute with players

playon we finished the year 13-5 mate so lost 5 in the home and away. We lost to the two teams that got relegated yet beat goodwood twice and TTG twice. We were prone to mental lapses which is where Goodwood beat us in the end. There's no doubt that when we played are style of running footy the chances of the opposition winning was very slim because of our skillfull players. Goodies were smart, and closed the game down in gf. Stoppage after stoppage we couldnt get our run going. Their bodies were too strong around the footy.

They lost both minor round games they played against Gepps Cross who in turn lost their 2 minor round games versus Port District and 1 against ROC's. Depends entirely on the day, you never lose your ability, only the player's mindset and luck play a big part in how the game pans out.

I reckon that is a pretty good summation Combuster, Goodies are experienced and do their homework on the opposition especially when they are playing in a GF.

If you compare last years GF to this year they played a completely different game. Although last year Salisbury North were saying that Goodies were too old and too slow but they proved that wrong.

You've always had a big opinion of yourselves down there.
The last couple of years i would of thought the cup was in your hands way before you played finals.
Well that was the talk around the club when i was around the place.
Looks like with the new points system coming in in 2 yrs time the Sharks are positioning themselves really well approaching current league players to give up their ambitions of playing League & get back onboard at Shark Park for a flag in Div1 Amateur League. ( sign now & it won't cost us points in 2011 )
Very very selfish if you ask me but nothing surprises me down there.

[bird of prey]

for all the henley people out there, make sure that in the future you guys don't recruit ex juniors to play at your club. especially those who have played league football (because that would be selfish). also make sure you don't pay your players. just let potential recruits go off to your opposition and let them become stronger than you. also, don't ever talk about possibly winning a premiership or making that your goal for the year (like most sides do) because you haven't won a grand final in div 1 for a while and you are apparently chokers.
in order to satisfy a few of the mongaloid posters we have on this site, make sure you pay attention to this.
do these things, drop down a few divisions (roughly to where seaton are sitting), and then maybe guys like NM and others will get off your back
