SAAFL Div 5 & 5R (2010)

[Bigshow82]

Any body want have a go at Div 5 Res tips if they dare.
I'll have a go must be mad never get it right.

Elizabeth v Plympton> Elizabeth by 1-10 points (was going to pick a draw here. 1st one for the year.)
North Haven v Blackfriars OS >North Haven by 20-30 points
Smithfield v Hope Valley > Hope Valley 50+points
Adelaide Lutheran v Hectorville >Adelaide Lutheran by 30-40 points
Rosewater v Brahma Lodge>Tigers by 70+ points

What do u think how did i go?

Elizabeth V Plympton - Plympton were clearly the best team we played against in the first half of the year so would expect them to win but after how much Elizabeth touched Blacks up by in the last round an upset could be on the cards.
North Haven V Blackfriars - After Blacks last performance I would say North Haven easily.
Smithfield V Hope Valley - Comfortably
Adelaide Lutheran V Hectorville - Lutherans beat us but were not as convincing as Plympton. Seem to be rolling along nicely, so I would say Lutheran by a few.
Rosewater V Brahma Lodge - Will be expecting Rosewater to have improved on Rd 1 so expecting a lot closer contest.

North haven will win by near on 10 goals this week i reckon, with jake watts getting best on, im expecting north haven to hurt a few sides on the home stretch

Might want to rethink the above Piccachu..............
Jake Watts done for the year.
Forrest almost killed himself at work last week and from all reports very likely he will miss.
Davis, Burridge unavailable with work
A number of guys horribly out of form or carrying injuries.
Should be a walk in the park for Blacks.

Wont be a walk in the Park Chump
If Alan Lipson and the likes turn it on Havens can still win
think 10 goals is a little over the top though!

Cheers Piccachu, but a big call to say were going to win by 10 goals, but I hope we do. A win plus percentage might mean we get off the bottom. Hope we do cause some upsets in the last half of the year.

We do have some better players out though, which will make it tough. Heard last night that Watts, Forrest, Davis, Burridge and maybe Morran aswell are out. These guys all payed well against Blackfrairs round 1. A few of them haven't played the whole because of injury but are important outs going into a very winnable and important game.

And Alan Lipson turning it on? Does mean more magic handballs over the back of the head?

I'm a bit bored at work today so I thought I'd do a little write up on what looms to be round of the season so far, I don't think you could pencil in any winners confidently.
Elizabeth vs Plympton
Elizabeth will be desperate to get this win back after the round 1 disappointment, especially being played at Argana Park where Plympton have played well previously. A win will keep the victors in the top 4, a loss could see someone drop out of the 5.
Plympton have had a disappointing front nine by their standards losing critical home games and basically under-performing. They are a better side than 4-5 one would assume, they just haven't put it on the scoreboard yet. They are a class side and have plenty of depth, they haven't been belted in any of their losses and could quite easily have had a far better win/loss ratio, this game will be a cracker.
North Haven vs Blackfriars
Last time they met Blackfriars took the honours by the solitary point at a neutral venue, this time North Haven will be keen to make amends on that and keep their season alive slightly. A loss and they will be staring relegation in the eyes.
Blackfriars on the other hand have to stand up, a win will see them with a slim finals chance still, a loss could see them lose valuable ground on the next group and relegation could start being a reality. Blackfriars tend to play well away from home and North Haven tend to play their ground very well, this will be another great battle.
Smithfield vs Hope Valley
Two evenly weighted sides, both are capable of turning it on yet can put in the occaisonal shocker. Smithfield coming off a hat-trick of wins have their tails up and will be full of beans after a break and a playing at home again. A win will keep that dreaded "R" word at bay for the time being in this tight competition.
Hope Valley have no problems playing at Smithfield Oval and will venture down with confidence again one would think. Sitting 3rd with a 6-3 record they have every right to be smiling at the moment, they've won some challenging matches so far and are only a few wins away from cementing a finals appearance. Sportsbet would have this at $1.85 each.
Adelaide Lutheran vs Hectorville
Lutheran were the first team to have to face Heccies at Daly Oval this season, the 40 point loss looks quite flattering now that others have ventured there. With their season hanging in there just, this will be one game that they would love to get over the line with to keep their finals and double chance alive.
Hectorville have been the powerhouse so far and will be keen to keep the juggernaut going, with only the one blemish early in the season to the skillful Eagles at Argana Park they seem to be a well oiled machine at the moment with plenty of run and scoring options.
Rosewater vs Brahma Lodge
Rosies re-juvenated their season last week with a somewhat shock win against Lutheran away from home. You can never under-estimate Rosewater, especially at their home deck. They will be hurting form the round 1 drubbing and come out firing to keep the finals opportunity well and truly alive and move well away from the relegation zone.
The Lodge haven't done too much wrong this season, beating Plympton away and only the two losses so far. They will need to be on their game for the clash with the hungry Dogs as it wont be handed to them on a platter. I'm sure they, along with all of the other teams enjoyed the week off and should be close to full strength for the back nine.

The ladder could look a number of different ways after this round, I can't see any games being a cake-walk.

Great write up as always LM.

Jabber, what's your level of involvement at Plympton at the moment?

As far as footy goes right now not much more than the oval line marker (best marked oval in the assoc just quietly), and ump when required, apart from that justa player and supporter.

Moreso involved with cricket.

Why do you ask?

Supporter hahaha please more someone who would rather bag his own team than support especially saturday night at the bar sitting in the same spot and talking about how he won an under age association medal hahahaha classic but i would have to say you are one of the better b grade umpires that i have seen, very consistent

Played a bit down at plympton Hollywood or have you just been there for a beer?

looks like a great club on first impression but doesn't take long for knives to come out! Maybe this is why they can't take the next step of winning a grand final.
