SAAFL Division 3 & D3R (2012)

[Lion Hack]

I ventured down to view Mitcham Vs SMOSH on the weekend and I thought it was a pretty good game overall. Mitcham dominated the first quarter but couldn't get the goals on the board. The forwards were wasteful and the delivery into the forward line was below par. I would say mitcham had 70% of the ball and looked the better team. After quarter time momentum slowly changed and come the last quarter it was all SMOSH. I thought the two main forwards for Mitcham The big fat bloke i think they call Plugger?? and the big forward quinny didnt have any influence. Mitcham look to still have some midfielders out with B&F and runner up both out due to injuries but will be back shortly. On a good note for Mitcham there is heaps of depth with the B's getting a win against SMOSH for the first time in few years which was really good to see. I think SMOSH will be a top 5 side but is too early to tell how high they will feature. Mitcham will gain a lot from those two coming back as they provide a lot of run and will be a good avenue to goal.
One question I do have for the SMOSH boys, is Sam White having much of an influence as he used to? From what I saw he seems to have put on a few KGs and looks a lot slower?? I may be wrong but i do remember him as being a superstar a few years ago..

Probably a bit harsh on Whitey. He has never really had pace so not too sure about that comment
The "weight" might be from all those coffees he has with Stubba Although in all seriousness I don't think his weight is an issue at all
He is still a very good player for us and will be for a long time, I hope he doesn't read this.

Is that the big fella that usually plays full-back?

Whitey was never any good. Not sure what gave you that impression.

SMOSH were the better side, but the scoreboard flattered us. Lots of work to do for us, but still plenty of numbers to come back into the side. S Quinn hopefully back in the fold this week.

Mitcham searching for that first win this week and I think they will get up...A few key ins this week which will boost the midfield quite substantially. The Hardy boys were looking quite fit on the track and I wouldnt be surprised if we see a 1,2 quinella in the best this week...Geoff (Whispering Utility) Hardy has been practicing hand shakes and doing all sorts of neck warm ups in preparation of shaking Martin Hamilton-Smiths hand and accepting the medal which has been the kid's dream since he was born. Should be a cracker of a game...
The big question is, who will get the huge job on Alex Carey? My money is on the ever so fit Tyson White who also has been looking real fit on the track.
Good luck to all teams this weekend...

Heard Matt Rowe is being paid $600 to play one game this weekend even after not training at all....can anyone from Mitcham confirm or deny? Basket weaver?

Hey Basket Weaver how is "Eltons Ball" going?
Back with the flight showing great courage!
He would be sick of flinging himself into the goal posts watching the ball go over his head for a goal i would have though??

I heard it was $1,000,000 for each qtr and he also has a bonus of $10,000 for every touch and goal. Do you seriously think a club is going to pay $600 for 1 game.

This is not possible becuase according to Mitcham (as well as every other club in the League) they don't pay players Didn't you know that nobody gets paid one cent in the SAAFL

Yep

Good to see Mitcham getting on the board with a good win yesterday. Was very impressed with the forwards and how they worked together. Quinn worked very hard and pushed up the ground and provided a big target. The big ruckman for Mitcham also worked hard around the ground and dominated in the ruck all day. With plenty of quality players to come back into the side it seems like Mitcham will be back to their best very soon and should be getting a lot more wins on the board.

Umpiring i think this year has been very good compared to last year, yesterday there were a few trivial decisions which left players scratching their heads but overall they have been good.

Mitcham clearly got the benefit of some terrible decisions yesterday. I must say Mitcham play their small ground well (surely that arc is not 50m?)- CBC can't wait to get them on our bigger deck. It wasn't hard for the Mitcham ruckman to dominate seeing as ours didn't play. Our team still a work in progress at the moment with a number of new players in the side this year - we matched Mitcham for contested ball and clearances but didn't finish off our hard work - we kicked 2.5 in the 3rd and 3.7 in the last quarter

Fairly reasonable article. Some small inaccuracies I must admit tho…
Firstly, there was no shock and certainly not the first time he’s donned a female g-string.
Secondly, having shared a room with “the situation” and Javor on a gaelic trip, unfortunately we’ve seen many worse things that just can’t be unseen… Jolly was more preoccupied with boasting how good it was being up on stage singing “just ace” at a local establishment & occasionally mentioning the goals that he kicked out against the Market Gardeners.

Gold article, well written, fairly honest and puts a spin on things. Nice journalism id say. Javor tipped to have a big season for 2012

Great win by the Dolphins today - 7 goals down at 1/2 time, Seaton kicked the first goal of the third quarter to take an 8 goal lead and it was all the Dolphins after that kicking 11 of the next 12 goals...not many sides come back from 8 goals down to win - go you Dolphins!!!!!
