SAAFL Div 3 & Div 3R (2011)

[Choccies]

Yeah I made a trip over to the oval on the Clipsal weekend to see how it was holding up and it did look a bit better than previous years but its definitly not ideal for you I bet.... But its flat and green (in patches) and not dangerous and both teams have to put up with it so no real advantage or disadvantage.

hahaha yeah the huts have long gone (thank christ...) and I'm sure you'll enjoy the new clubrooms and spacious changerooms. Will be better once the new oval takes seed and is erady for use next year hopefully...

Went to go have a look for the umpires this week and looked under our game with FP they have already named their A Grade Team. Found it quite strange. Just thought id let people know.
Also does anyone know what Umpires will be doing our games hopefully not those Academy ones.

Will be a combination of a snr ump and an academy umpire from what I've been told. Much wiser option than pairing 2 academy guys up.

Well if thats the case it will be better.
Except i think the academy guys should be doing Div 1 Reserves. Still a good standard and they wouldn't get as whistle happy because the crowd wont be into it as much as A Grade games.

Thats a great idea I reckon Muffler. The league wouldnt do that though.

Round 1 Tips:

CBC over Pembroke - 10 goals - havent heard many great things on either side, CBC purely on last years performance
Poorake over Seaton - 6 goals - seaton seem to be in a whole lot of trouble
Mitcham over Flinders Park - 2 goals - could go either way... but the MFC boys have worked hard over preseason and should be ready to take on FP and their recruits!
SMOSH over Portland - 2 goals - could go either way... but beginning to hear more and more good things about SMOSH - should be a real force this year
Golden Grove over PH - 2 goals - PH play well at home, but are just missing too many key players

Interesting round 1... from most of the predicted ladders posted on here earlier, round 1 has the predicted top four playing each other, and the predicted bottom 6 playing each other... if we have any idea what we are talking about then there should be plenty of close results this week!

Whats a poo rake. Think i need one of them for the back yard, where do i get one

Playing my GF at Pooraka this week apparently the footy club has lost more players than gained.
Can see them struggling personally but time will tell.
Looking 4wd to Mitcham recriuts playing going to be a big game and we have the capabilities to win

From what i've heard, Pooraka have lost 4 and gained 4. Had a reasonably young side last year and with 2 of the older blokes retiring i'd expect them to improve and hold there own in div 3

No they won't because its too good an idea & smart thinking.

Please don't get no mercy started on the umps again. We will have to hear again how it cost him and his bunch of glory hunting players the flag last year. Can't be bothered with it all over again.

All four big recruits (Christie, O'hara, Winstanley and Visser) named for Flinders....wonder if any Park regulars missed out?

(providing the SAAFL website is correct).

Big enough to take someones spot! And presumably big enough to put some money in his pcoekt after each game

Stuart Robson also named after heading over from Woodville South. Back-up ruckman.

Fair enough. he was only a B grader at SHOC wasnt he ?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but think he Played a fair bit of A grade for a number of years, then played some 2's last year when they probably had their best year.

Another one according to PAG - FIVE recuits all playing.

Will still be handy at this level. Was a strong SHOC B grade last year and he should have an impact.

[BIG_REDS]

I was just notifyed that Para Hills v GG game is a 415 start.
I thought this was going to be played as a night game?
Anyone from either club shed some light on this?
