didnt see the clash just saw seconds after though but i dont think there was to much in it as the brighton player i think it was a guy called miles was very quick on his feet and take the kick once the red card was shown to manhood

Porties beating Brighton puts Happy Valley in for a chance to make the top 4 this year, will probably be decided last game of the year when they play each other. Brighton starting to slip and Happy Valley gathering momentum
Shoes beating Christies has finished them, probably between them and Marion for 8th spot

Morphies just got over the line against Valleys.
Cove SMASHED reynella.
Cant wait to hear from Fly this week...

Yeah Cove absolutely "butchered" the wineflys

Maybe he should have brought more footy's out to training so more of the wineflys know what to do with it...

On another note, i hear Milo is out injured? Pollard only kicked 1 on the weekend, so the race to 100 is still on if Milo can get himself fit.

Knowing Polly I'm sure he would have been quick to point out that he's still has kicked 28 goals in the last 2 weeks.

From a Reynellas point of view on the game against Cove on the weekend, very interesting.

I can not speak higher of the way Cove went about the game on the weekend. With a few 'names' out such as Vick & Ramsey, the boys definately looked like they wanted to step up in their absence. In the times I have seen Cove, I have not seen them attack the contests in waves such as they did. They ran and ran, as a result made their own luck. Their tackling was fantastic, and despite having a 7 goal lead at 3 quarter time, they had pretty much controlled the game, bar the first 10 minutes of the 3rd quarter when Reynella made no impact on the scoreboard.

If the cove outfit plays like they did on saturday with the likes of vick & ramsey, they will definately push comes finals time.

The big question is; did cove make reynella look bad, or did reynella make cove look good? I would probably say it was a bit of both. Reynella made some costly errors too often, while cove pressured the contests & made reynella pay for the mistakes they made.

Give credit where its due, cove wanted to win, and they did so extremely well. And they werent satisfied with just the premiership points, they kept driving those nails into the coffin, both on the scoreboard and via a bit of banter (I got no probs with that).

As for reynella, did they believe they had it won with a new recruit? Probably, thats the feeling i got. Someone made the comment last week that it going to take more than a 'butcher' to win a flag. I totally agree, its going to take all 21 blokes to play as a unit and all play at the top of their game, plus remain disciplined ... unlike saturday.

Will Reynella learn form the lesson on Saturday ... guess time will tell!

Nice report Phantom - what was the full forward for Cove Thompson like - been playing B Grade most of the year and kicking arse and stepped up in the last couple of weeks in As - kicked 8 fair effort against you blokes

I can only assume that was number 19, if it was, yeah he was more than fair. I didnt get a boot so not sure of some blokes

Number 6 on the wing & Harey were the major killers across the middle.

[the observer]

Nick Manhood a reprimand
Potries will still be without some crucial players

[Leg Rope]

Just wondering what game Bruce McAvaney (Phantom) will be reporting on this week end? Just coming back from overseas and reading his report from Morphie Park V Reynella Game, I thought I might attend the next ROOS game. Morphie Park were pretty ordinary, they had no system, voice or kick in structures. Hopefully future Reports from the Phantom will be more accurate.

19 Was Luke Weidermann CHF. Thompson was no.10 this week wore the long sleeve could had played heaps more A grade games but its hard with Josh Ramsey at Full Forward. He'll slot back to the foward pocket this week handy for us.

No.6 was 'Dutchy' Vanlieshout in the centre hes another that started in the B's and has carved up in the A's and hareys starting to really rip it up.

Phantom what is your thoughts on this new Butcher how do you think he will go against say M/Vale?

[Swooper16]

Was a good round of footy for the SFL by the sounds of it. It looked like it was going to be a 2 horse race for the third consecutive year but Cove will def have earnt alot of respect with that win. Valleys were unlucky to just get pipped by M/Vale and will be a danger come finals. Porties likewise. Will be interesting to see how they go against M/Vale on saturday. They always challenge the emus and they would have alot of confidence at the moment.

I think that loss for Reynella may do them some good. Sounds like they may have gotten well ahead of themselves with their new arrival and the fact Cove were without their 2 most recognised players. Will be very interested to see Reynella's repsonse to that loss. I think they have M/Vale in 2 weeks so that game will probly show where they are really at in 2007.

Only side that may be going backwards slightly is Brighton. Perhaps Franky could enlighten us with whats going on down there?

Leg Rope, they are a struggling club with an under manned list. Look beyond that for a moment, the game against Reynella they were outclassed but they provided some initial pressure, simply not strong enough in most cases. They did however run the ball well, playing a fast style of play. They tried hard to beat Reynella on the rebound but broke down across half forward against a superior reynella half back line on the day.

Leg rope, sorry if the compliment to your club (by an opposition observer that has never had a high opinion of the club) appears to make them sound better than they are. Against Reynella the looked like they had something to work with ... in time. If you want to tie your leg rope around your clubs necks, that your decision.

Oh, that Thompson was alright, didnt realise he slotted 8. He looked tidy. Definately could slip under the guard. Thanks Tight Lines.

Butcher looked good in parts, good awareness & hands. However his kicking missed a few vital targets. It must have been difficult though for him to walk into the team after a training or two. If I were him I would have been pretty nervous given the hype & expectations. A few weeks to settle into the team & understand how the team plays I reckon. He will be handy if he becomes apart of the team.

Great calls Swooper!

The way Reynella responds will be very interesting... Enjoyed a couple brews over the weekend with some players and it's amazing the internal issues that present when you are not involved in a club. The Butcher thing overall has been well enough accepted although some feel that the 22nd player that will miss out due to his inclusion will be interesting when it happens come finals time and everyone is pushing for selection, i guess they are just hoping it is not a stalwart who has done all the work. Time will tell on that one.

The other 2 points of interest that were discussed were how well the coach has settled in, without going too deep i guess it would be fair to say not everyone will embrace his ideas and systems as long as he can keep the majority on the same wavelength they should get over this, have never heard of their coach before so i can't personally make a comment, does anyone have a backgorund on him and where he has coached before..?? Success..?? and Longevity..??

Last point and probably the most interesting was in reference to a recent posting re Milo's injury, seems as though there may be some substance to his early exit.. Most on here have played the game so i am finding it hard to believe that he left the ground because he was intimidated but it was intimated that there is a common theme when it comes to performing for his teammates on the big stage... Interesting to see if he plays this week... If it is a hammy surely not...

[Leg Rope]

Time for the phantom to start smelling what he is typing!
$3 is a good investment for the Southern Boot this may help improve your ordinary SFL knowledge. Weeds has been dominating across half forward for years. So which game are we expecting another "Super" Report from Phantom? P.S. Do you wear a Phantom Ring?

If Butcher is the difference between winies having success or not who cares about the stalward missing out who might have been the reason they lose grand finals.

Is anyone able to definitely confirm if Butcher will be allowed to play in the finals or not? Unless I'm mistaken, or the rules have changed (wouldn't be unusual with the SFL), the minimum number of minor round games (in A Grade) to qualify for fiinals is 6. Including his game last week he only has 5 available.

[THE MOLE]

I thought it was 4, but i could be mistaken.

The point these boys were making was not the fact that Butcher would be the difference (he wouldn't have made a difference the last 2 years anyway) just that if one of their close mates who had been through all the loses with them missed out it could pose a negative domino effect mentally throughout the team, from an outsiders point of view perhaps this is why they have gone winless in the biggest game of them all for 30 years, surely if you were a player you would want the knowledge that you are going out there with the best chance possible of winning the GF... One things for sure it certainly hasn't been a smooth introduction for a player on reputation that could turn a game on his own, i reckon the Emu's and Cobra's wouldn't be thinking along those other lines, he would be welcomed with open arms...

Having said all this they still have to make the GF before they can start worrying about how they are going to go about losing it.
