SAAFL Div 5 & 5R (2010)

[sprinttospace]

great contest given by blacks a grade on saturday. sometimes a game doesn't quite pan out how many think it will. defintiely a proud performance by the players from our young club.

entertaining off the field as well. a couple of old blokes next to us just lightly stirring the pot most of the day. bit of trash talk early in the first quarter from an a grade player toward me as the interchange steward about my green folder. as if an a grade player in the top side should gove a toss about my folder. nonetheless, i was flattered he noticed and commented on it. that folder has been through some very good times with me at BOS. first time in our 5 years that the opposition time keeper has sat with ours and then challenged most of the time keeping by our bloke. all's well that ends well though. enjoyed the banter immensely.

now, on to valley's this week in what will be, and quietly confident that we'll put in another proud performance.

Smithfield used their "get out of jail free" card on Saturday, after getting out to an early 3 goal lead, Lutheran pegged us back to take a two point lead at quarter time as it was 5 goals apiece. Lutheran's height was a troubling factor as they dominated the next two quarters but failed to gain a substantial lead, we were just doing enough to keep in touch.
Trailing by 21 points at 3 quarter time there was still belief in the group and plenty to give, it was an epic battle in the last quarter as we clawed our way back mainly through the older heads.
I know that we're not exactly the best team going around but Lutheran have so much to offer and it astounds me that they are sitting 8th, they are a bloody good side and extremely hard to match up on. I thought we were going to struggle when I seen near perfect conditions, we needed some rain, it was a great win by the boys and there were no passengers for the day.
Now we have the huge task of playing an in-form Lodge at the Lodge, they keep turning out the good performances week in, week out.

There's no doubt it's been an extremely frustrating year for us. We feel we have a good enough side to be sitting much higher than we are. We have had lots of ins and outs (as most teams have) but haven't put it all together. we have obvious depth at the club - Bs and Cs are both top or thereabouts. We have shown we can play (beating eliz away and being very competitive in most games) and have lost 2 games (plympton and smithfield) with big final quarter leads. We will keep striving to improve and hopefully put some consistent performances together for the rest of the year.

Haha, I heard about that. That was Howie and anyone who knows him will tell you he's a space cadet at the best of times. So I wouldn't worry about that comment too much.

[Footy Chick]

Amen to that

no offence taken at all. nice to be recognised by the opposition. and i had done a good deed by walking down to the heccies bench to tell them their bloke could go back on. snow white sitting next to him had a good old chuckle to himself about it so i figured that we were going to be in for a fun day off the field. love banter at the footy.

Low six your kidding ...High six

Just a question to the forum - no names no clubs, just if ya in the know... What's a fair wage to coach at D4, D5. Your opinions helpful

Div 5 I would think 4- 5 grand but I base this on nothing whatsoever

WOS Football Coaches - low six figures, the rest - six pack of eagle blue and a pack of winnies a week..

Romour has it that plympton are after CLG's Sid Visser for the 2011 season, can anyone from plympton confirm or deny?

[Jabber]

News to me, and the decision makers have been overseas for a month or so, only got back last week.

I'd get him across if he had any ties with nicky visser.

brahme lodge were a class above elizabeth today and perhaps shows a slight gulf between the top 2 sides and the rest , and im not normally one to question other clubs but i think it is rather disappointing to see some young guys running around in your c's and then in the b's u have an abusive dinosaur in the 21 who does nothing but be detrimental to what the club is trying to do on the field, surely u are better served by giving one these young guys a go in b's or even one g.haleth who killed us in b's first time , i simply cannot fathom why he plays b's ????????

SOUNDS LIKE ASSINARI?

no i think people were calling him hadanairy cos he whiffed on the kick count

a few late withdrawals saturday morning put azza into the side as for georgey he dosen't want to play b grade, he's quite happy to have a kick and a catch. good game by yourself saturday though custard

dont blame them for chasing him class player

[One Eyed]

we spoke to him a couple of years ago. seemed a good enough bloke.

[Jabber]

There has been a bit of recruiting done by Plympton over the last year, so i assume that would continue, much like every club.

No doubting that clubs chase quality footballers. If he ends up down at the kennel he would be a fantastic pick up. Huge loss for CLG if true though

I've never heard of him to be honest, but on the same token i haven't been down at the factory (club) much over the last month or so on saturday nights so i don't know whats going on. Woodublv12 would prob be the one to ask, but he'll probably just straight bat the question back to you (which will be a first for him coz he doesn't do it during the summer months!).

I think retainment of current new players, and retainment of u18s need to be a priority at the seasons end.

But if he's that good then sign him up, whats he doin this saturday!

they chase a lot of players from other clubs..might be better off concentrating on retaining their juniors..

Playing for CLG in seriousness though a very smart footballer, great skills on both sides and would be a handy inclusion to any midfield
