20/20 Footy

[asert]

i dont think shoc were that bad i think lofty just were that good. their skills were amazing for this time of year. they roved off marks like theyd played a few games already. valley played well but only just hung on. another qtr and might have been interesting

[hoareyy]

had a few mates playing for flinders and were no wear near full strength 2 bnfs didnt play. once get 2 full strength watch out haha

[LaughingKookaburra]

In all fairness I do not think any team was any where near full strength. What it does though is show how how much clubs have depth. SHOC's were ordinary and definatly impressed with Mt.Lofty. SHOC's will get better but it must be a concern to the heirachy that they will play sides just as good and better than Lofty week in/week out. Guess we will see, don't fire up SHOC supporters, prove me wrong

[hoareyy]

flinders onli had 3 a graders from last year playin rest where b's and new players and a couple of up and coming junoirs

[LaughingKookaburra]

You already mentioned that. Mate I hope FP win it being an SAAFL supporter,but i'm telling you Valleys were no where full strength either.

Point taken, there is no doubt they are going to find it tough against teams like Lofty and Div 1 sides who have a big chq book. But like i said its early Feb lets not get too carried away, we have beaten lofty in a trial away before when we took in seriously, as they have beaten us in a trial when we didnt take it seriously. Im sure every team wont be at full strength, its ammos and sometimes players who are proven A graders dont give a toss about playing in them......however the 3k will be nice!!

[ohh i dunno]

Anyway it was a great specticle on friday, teams will get better each week, I think its a great concept best way to gain fitness at grass root level.

Exactly. Better to be playing a game against good opponents than running around an oval.

How many did you pistols boot? A bit of an excitement machine when on song.

[Bag The Points]

Pistola sank five, including two in the first three minutes. Like everything else about the Mountain Devils, so great to watch !!
Really looking forward to watching them in action again this week.

nah flash did not pull on the boots... was quite a few blokes missing and a lot of blokes playing in all sorts of different positions by the looks of things... bawden didnt even have to play in the ruck at all...

Sorry just quoting myself from a post I put up on the Hills Football League thread, thought it may be relevant to this one too.

'Just another word on Friday's 20/20 comp- Trial game banter can almost become a dick meausring contest as teams 'boast' about how under strength they are compared to the competition- i'll weigh in with the following- Mt Lofty were missing from their 2008 premiership side the following players: Burch (b&f), M Stapleton (vc), Gordon (leading goal kicker), Nielson, O'Connor, Davies, O Temme, J Temme, Baldock and Cutting of course, who really doesn't count as he will not be playing in '09 (sorry if I missed anyone). That is almost half a side.'

Yes the players that played for Mt Lofty were fair dinkum, as that is the way we approach every game we play no matter if it is a final, a trial game, a 20/20 game or a game of hop scotch. If SHOC's A grade treat it as a mickey mouse comp i would see that as a problem.

Wouldnt mind having a look at this setup, what time do these games kick off? Also would like to see what all the fuss is about with Mt Lofty.

Guarantee you'll see a magnificent side in action. Saw them for the first time at the Valley last year and was immediately converted.
Absolutely sensational to watch --- pity they play in a far off League.
Love to see them in battle with Willunga.
