I have heard that flagstaff hill will be looseing there star recrite in a couple of weeks and that a few of there young stars are going to walk out at the end of the year dose anyone know anything about this because there are a few young kids i know a few amerture clubs are looking at

[The Mexican]

Reckon that was a huge game for Cove to drop. Wasnt it about this time last season that things started going pear shaped? Reckon the top teams such as reynella, M/Vale & Brighton will all be confident if they have to face Cove in September as i think there are doubts about how good they are when the pressure is really on. Think they have the reputation as flat track bullies at the moment.

Don't worry about the players come september I think its the Coach you have to worry about from what I understand Anderson hasn't coached a lot of finals and the ones he has haven't been too flash. Has a habit of taking a side with potential and leaving it with the same potential 4 or 5 years later i.e South Adelaide. Think someone down there thinks that big names win premierships! Also I've heard a rumour that Andersons contract is declared null and void if anyone mentions the word "finals" through fear of a mental breakdown is this true?

Not taking South Adelaide anywhere.... There are quite a few coaches in Australia that can hang their hat on that coat rack. Saw the Double Blues anhilate a dismass/lacklustre SA on the weekend. Gee they lack genuine heart... Too many blokes earning a dollar that couldn't care less how the team performs.

Give me a break with Cove would you, they have 1 loss and you reckon they are gone for a number of reasons. Sure they went down on the weekend but we all agree Reynella are not the same side that the Emu's smashed in round 1. They continue to improve and are guaranteed to play in this years prelim final, Swooper to put Brighton in the same category as Emu's, Cove and Reynella is far from it. I would expect Cove to win comfortably when they meet. 3 horse race at the moment and anyone of these sides could be considered favourites..

[The Dutchman]

Cove's appointment of Anderson was as much of a backward step for the club as his hairstyle is for human kind. Maybe the bad news about Ando's coaching didnt make it up the hill to Cobra Land? Having said that i would have to agree with The Mexican that Cove are a step above the Bombers so far this year. It does look like a three club race at this stage...

Hey Mexican, are you a disappointed South supporter or a double blues fan? Put a moustache and sombrero on Ben Nelson and he could pass as a gringo...maybe its all that time he spends in the solarium?

You might be right Mexican but i just think this was first proper clash for Cove and from the sounds of it, they werent up to it. Whether it was just an off day or perhaps they are suspect in big games it probly is a little early to (ken) judge. I think if cove won that it would have really set their season up and given them a huge boost. But saying that im sure the same will apply when they play Morphett Vale. If they win that then we will know for sure that they are the real deal.

With the draw Cove have there is nothing to set up, can't finish below 3rd place which will pit them against either the Emu's or Reynella. Sounds like they were up to it, in a previous posting i got the impression that they conceeded a few late goals to inflate the margin.

Double Blues all the way... Done it hard over the years but they are playing a great brand of footy at the moment, which i must say has surprised me, a devoted member, didn't think McGowan could pull it off, so far so good, still a long way to go... Funny you talk about Ben Nelson as a fellow Gringo, I have often been mistaken for "Arms" Nelson in the street.

[Swooper16]

How confident would you be tho going into finals in thrid place but not having beaten either of the top 2 teams. i just think that would play on Coves mind a bit. And could just give the oppositon the edge.

Your kidding yourself arent you mate Cove lose one game and suddenly they are pretenders and behind the top 2 sides. How can you consided a sides fate by meerly reading the paper! I will say that we played probally one quarter of decent footy and look how the result turned out 4 goals and we were always in it. And I never blame the umpires this was indeed not to blame for the out come but anyone at the game can say that Reynella got away with so many free kicks and got some very soft ones back Milo shouldn't of had a kick his 2 goals were from soft frees. Gees i hope Morphett Vale dont lose a game then we all better jump off and bag the crap out of them!

Anderson was outcoached and the free kick count favoured Cove by 5 and Reynella were harder at the ball all day that is why cove lost.Milo came off 7 minutes into 2nd quarter and they still beat them by 27 points,Reynella had 4 first picked A graders out,and 9 out against Vale 1st game they are the real deal and well drilled and just starting to click with coaches new game plan.The next game with m/vale will be a beauty.

Matt Patterson absolute joke been at a different club every year. Dosn't have a football brain and is the biggest thug running around. Although he did coach Aldinga to a wooden spoon in 04 so he must have some idea

[The Mexican]

The facts are this, Emu's, Winey's and Cobra's are the three in serious contention, baring a major upset 2 of these teams will play off in this years GF. As we all know when prelim final day comes it will come down to who wants to play in the GF the most, so these preliminary games give us an indication only of how things "may" play out and gives us the opportunity to tell each other who is the best... Who's best at this stage of the year...?? Who cares...!!

[Swooper16]

Doesnt give us alot to talk about on the forum until Prelim final weekend then does it mexican?

If you care to read my text SWOOPDOG i state we can and will talk about who is best at any particular time, i am saying that i don't care who is the best at the moment, just interested on prelim final day... Hisssss Hisssss.

[Jono]

Ando has Jeff Bevan as his assistant coach.....
The third qtr cost Cove, they won so much football however, couldn't seem to be able to get it past half forward with all the numbers Reynella were pushing back at one stage Weidermann was contesting a mark againt 4 reynella players... Once it was past half forward Ramsey was taking everything but couldn't get it down to him after half time.... 2 goals in it a 3qtr time but Cove couldn't get there noses in front....Had an opportunity to get within 5points but a Cove player had a ball from a kick out go through his fingers if he marked it he is having a shot from 20m out instead Reynella go down and score margin 17pts instead of 5 game over.
Cove's lead up wasn't great i.e all the beltings they were dishing out i think you will get a better idea about them after this month were they now play Brighton, M Vale and H Valley all in a row.

Why would amatuer clubs recruit from Flagstaff hill? They are near the bottom of the ladder?

Also what is the point of teams developing their juniors only to lose them once they've matured. Wouldnt they then have to start the rebuilding process all over again?? Surely clubs like Flaggies, Aldinga etc now would be concentrating on ways to keep all these players their bringing thru - otherwise whats the point?

Anderson admitted that he didnt react to a few things on the weekend that did hurt the end result which is fair enough but i dont think that flooding our key forwards is out coached? We'll see if he uses the same tactics in the next clash. Reynella your right they were Harder faster and better prepared for this match we didnt deserve to win at all but if you think that because of 1 lost that the Cove are done then you'd be a fool it is only Rnd 7.

A Graders out tho is a poor cop out Perfect world we play our best sides everyweek 100% but the side that takes the park is your A grade side regardless of who they are. Injuries, work etc etc are all apart of footy and its not about who is missing its about who plays and who fills those gaps and obviously whoever did, did it well for you.
