Portland lads I am interested to hear your thoughts regarding PAOC, Old Iggies and CBCOC considering you have played those 3 teams the last 3 weeks. It will be fair to say that PAOC will go in hot favourites but how do you rate OIFC and CBCOC in comparison? Do any of those two teams have much of a chance?

A couple of tips for the Portland boys today.
CR race 3 no.1 Portland
QR race 5 no.3 Thunder Hill

[NO-MERCY]

Not being a Portland lad i think Old Iggies are more of a chance than CBCOC who have died off due to injuries.
Looking at the final 5 aproaching round18, Mitcham are the side that can replace SMOSH in the top 5 by giving Kilburn a smashing.
Portland can get the double chance by beating Scotch at the picket fence & by hoping Old Iggs beat CBCOC which they should do.
Seaton proved on Saturday they aint up to it & would only be making up the numbers if they were to get in.

PAOC are clearly the favourites with Portland & Old Iggies a toss of the coin to who gets to challenge them Grand Final Day.

Portland got up. Paid $2.40

Going to be a great last round with basically positions 3 - 5 up for grabs to those that want them

Playing Seaton at Pasty Park has never been easy for us, and with finals up for grabs, I wouldn't write them off yet

Now Jimmy, i need some clarification of the Coopers-enhanced phone call i got from yours truly on Saturday night. I had consumed a few ales myself, but from what i recall there was mention of alleged complaints made by us about the PAOC facilities, and how the SAAFL were going to use that to stop you from getting a home final. Also the term 'Retribution' was dropped somewhere during the convo, as well as a 'meeting' had by PAOC players regarding how they want to play us in the finals, seeking retribution of some kind. All very puzzling indeed, but an interesting theory nonetheless.

Im not sure SAAFL take much notice of what posters on this forum, (who may or may not be from the Portland Footy Club) have to say, but hey, whatever floats ya boat i guess.

After the shindig that took place at our footy club on Saturday night, im not sure our facilities are up to scratch any longer either !

Hey No Mercy whats the feel like around the club now knowing your season is over and coming down a division and talking yourself up as premiership favs early and missing the finals. My prediction is that seaton will follow in the same path as Woodville Sth and Nth Haven. Who knows mate you could all be in div 6 in a few years. Wouldnt that be great.
Not saying my club is any better but i guess that is what you get when you have a bunch of your good players there only for the $$$.
Maybe you should have reconsidered the $$ you were offering for Natt to stay.

I havent seen Iggies play at all this year (missed both those games), but saw us against CBCOC on Saturday. CBCOC definately struggled against our game style, and on our smaller ground. It was probably our best performance of the year (definately the best i have seen this year).

I think the second GF spot is open to a number of teams. Whoever is up and about at the right time is going to grab it. From an unbias view, Iggies are the second best team and probably should get to the GF. Unfortunately i think the only thing that can stop PAOC from winning the flag is themselves. If they play their best, no one can beat them.

I must admit the hype & expectations of people outside the club ( opposition ) was a little over the top from the start of the year.
I for one never talked ourselves up as flag favourites, i believe it was a good ploy from people like yourself & others to pump up the tyres of our players & inflate their ego's to make them feel as though they are certainty's for the flag.
i'd be very dissappointed if players believe that sh!t ( i know some do & i heard some supporters early in the year shooting their mouths off to how easy the year was going to be in Div3 )
I've been around footy for a long time My Free Will & the problem with alot of supporters is they don't think before they speak, a bit like you.
No it wouldn't be great to see the club in Div 6 & that won't happen ( you know that ) but i'm honest in saying yes our club has been struggling for a few years now.
I don't know what makes you think Natt would of made a huge difference, he was offered what he was worth for 2010 as he'd had 2 very quiet years prior to this, as for other players at our club only for the $$ you say, no-one will get rich playing at Seaton i can assure you that, that is why blokes like Natt left in the first place & it will only be why any players continue to leave, like the ones that left Seaton & headed to Districts the year you bought your flag 2007!!

PAOC are the clear favourites in the comp, not much can be said that people havent already said abotu them.
Old Iggies are also a very good side, they have pedler down back setting up alot of there attack, a huge target with White, a magarey medalist at his feet, with blokes like connelly and the likes tearing sides apart accross the centre. They are a very good side. I think we could have beat them the other week if we were smarter with our use of the footy. Probs still have to be second favourite in the comp.
CBC are a hard one for portland people to comment on I would think. We have beat them by 9 goals both times. that doesnt mean that they arent a good side, cause as the season shows they are. Just that they seem to struggle with the style of footy that we play. On there day they could beat most sides in the comp.

As everyone knows finals footy is a different game, so anything can happen.

The real dark horse i feel come finals would have to be SMOSH. Up and firing they are a very dangerous side to play.

[Iron Fist]

Good work by CBC by the way, majority of there side hung around for a few beers after the game and seen a few chatting to some of our boys.
Very easy to just pack ya bags and leave after a loss but a credit to them for hanging around.

[piccachu]

Scoreboard most certainly didnt do the game down at the Thunder dome justice,
very Physical game of footy (which surprised me a little bit)
but in the end Portland were up to the task and ran away with it,
just a quick comment on a few of CBCOC players. if number 5 doesnt get atleast 5 for king hitting the smallest bloke on the oval in the back of the head right infront of the umpire there is something wrong, and number 9 was the biggest sniper i have played against, to his credit he got away with it and what always happens was the retaliator got caught.

[SATCHEL]

Great win by the boys on the weekend. The magoo's copped it a bit but the A's put the foot down and the result speaks. I cant see what was spoken about on here before when it was mentioned that CBCOC were the number 2 side on the comp. Saw nothing to point that out. Our guys were strong at the ball and pressured the carrier to make the mistake and pounced. Bouncing back from 2 big losses was great to see. I will question the toughness of CBC though. We had a bloke sent off for an indiscretion but CBC were soft no doubts abou it.
Looking forward to what happens next week and beyond. To come from where we were to now is great for our club now and next year. I still think that Iggies and PAOC are the sides taht will determine the promotion and the rest of the sides playing off in finals.

Presuming they make it.

No doubt they've done the maths and know that a big win for us could get us into the 5, and that's if they beat Para Hills. Going to be a huge game against Kilburn this week, and no doubt just as big at Para Hills.

Hawks are playing a great brand of running football at the moment. Whoever misses out is going to be unlucky, because both SMOSH and Mitcham could shake things up come finals. Seaton you would presume are out of it with PAOC this week.

[piccachu]

i see the Hawks gave Seaton a fair old touch up, hawks really coming in to some form.
i will admit i had pretty much written the hawks off 5 weeks ago but to there credit they are coming hard.
at this stage, i think mitcham maybe deserve that 5th spot as i think after there last couple of weeks they will be the biggest threat to sides already in the finals, seaton IMO are gone with the Div 3 power house next week.

Obviously they need to make it.
Whats the percentage difference between you 2???

You would presume seaton are out, but stranger things have happened.
