SAAFL Div 3 & Div 3R (2011)

[Boosh]

Didn't do pre season, was told by the coach you're in the squad just give me a couple good games in the 2's and you will get your chance, played B's last week got 5th best then spat it and left.

Is also the social secretary at the club so leaves the club in the lurch.

Where's big Ando lining up this week?

Sounds like a very similar possition Dammon was in with us trained with the B grade 1 night as hadnt been to many pre season sessions then next we new was on his bike to Haven, things like this happen in footy and it aint going to change any time soon. Big Ando is in the 2nds as far as i know

Just like when you left, you couldn't share the great vision that SOD had and just up and left

Since im certain most of Ando's power came from his mullet back in his playing days, could you suggest for me that he wear a mullet hair peice for old times sake

[Flipper]

Can't believe he left because he didn't get his on way. I mean FFS spots are up for grabs and blokes are going to miss out each week, it's footy. There's no need to leave the club because you didn't play round 1 in the A grade, that's just crap. He was in our squad and I was certain he would of forced his way into the side at some stage because of good form and guys in the 21 losing their spot due to form/injuries. Now that he's going to Portland, would he play A grade there?

what was the reason behind him being left out of the A grade round 1 TDK, you would think your 3rd in the B&F from the previous year would get a gig in the first place any personal issues between him & coach / captain possibly ?

4 lipsons registered at the dome now

That would reduce the general IQ at the Dome to less than room temperature then . Not great as it is now

[X Runna]

Flinders Park, but not by as much as most people think
Para Hills to beat Mitcham
SMOSH over Pooraka
Pembroke/Seaton - 50/50 but maybe Seaton with a different attitude to last year
Portland over CBC, but only because CBC have lost key players

If they did have these guys X? I think the results last year speak for themselves. I think even if they did have these guys the result would be the same

CBC got the season off to a flyer last year, were very good early. Portland are reputed to be slow starters. Putting both those points together, and if CBC had last years team, I would go with CBC.

That's the beauty of a forum mate, we can all express our own opinion.

[Cash 123]

Portland over CBC. Interesting game with portland being perennal slow starters another early loss would surely damage the confidence the thunder have carried with over the pre-season. In saying that I think they will win and we will here alot more from them next week than we have this week.

Might have something to do with the missing light globes from the visitors changerooms

Or they might have an upcoming Miss Portland

[BZB27]

Flinders Park vs Golden Grove
Pooraka v SMOSH
Mitcham v Para Hills
Seaton v Pembroke
Portland v CBCOC

[Flipper]

Flinders Park vs Golden Grove This game will let GG know where they have to be to be competitive in Div3
Pooraka v SMOSH I know its only early but looks like i may b eatting my words re smosh
Mitcham v Para Hills Someone to swear in the crowd and Mitcham to walk off in protest. I couldnt help myself
Seaton v Pembroke They really impressed me not sure who their ruckman was but he was very handy. Will handball the ball out the back and run
Portland v CBCOC Its great going into a game with the opposition thinking they have it in the bag. But in sayin that if i wasnt involved with CBC i wouldnt tip us....... But we all know a week is a long time in footy.

Just heard Portland have just signed a massive recruit. A. Lipson is joining his 2 brothers out at Portland. I guess that evens things out now with Haven signing Hinsley and Damon. See you in a couple of years boys.

Same reason Hinso left us for you guys really - he didnt get his own way with us so he took off down the road.

No big deal, im actually surprised Alan didnt make the move sooner - he showed Haven a fair bit of loyalty really, especially with the rest of his family all seeing the light and joining us a few years back.

seem to be forgetting that hinso came from north haven

i think the only personal issues alan has are with himself

Via Port Districts if you want to be technical. Not sure how that makes any difference to the points being made anyway.

You blokes seem to be howling like sheilas about Alan moving to Portland for no payment, but think its quite alright for Hinso and Damon to jump ship because some cash was flashed their way. Maybe this is one of the side effects of paying guys who arent, or appear not be, fair dinkum - guys who have been around the place for a while get their noses out of joint.

I have no problem with any movement by Hinso, Damon or Alan, but ffs, let it rest !

[Boosh]

Hinso is a North Haven junior player who played about 4 games at districts before joining Portland, the club are trying to get their former juniors back nothing wrong with that.

As for Damon and Lippo they made their choices for similar reasons and good luck to them both, was only disappointed the way Alan handled it.

Although Alan is different from his brothers it is going to be interesting having four Lipsons at the club on a Saturday night, I think I will have to venture down a watch that unfold.

Mate, i agree, there is absolutely nothing wrong with Haven trying to get back juniors. My point was that its unfair to have a crack at Alan when his reasons for leaving had nothing to do with money - lets be honest, Hinso wouldn't be at Haven if money wasnt offered. All good though, Hinso is a great lad and wish him well. I dont know Alan yet, but from what i hear he is a top lad too.

Saturday night could be very interesting indeed - hope our insurance company doesnt find out about all the Lipson's at our club, our premiums will sky rocket !

[Old Dog 13]

Flinders Park vs Golden Grove
Pooraka v SMOSH
Mitcham v Para Hills
Seaton v Pembroke
Portland v CBCOC

[NO-MERCY]

This weather may result in some upsets today.
Pembroke v Seaton

Surely the wet weather wont suit the Pinkney brothers.
Does this give Seaton a chance?
I wont change my tip though.

S. Coard and Lunn in a wedding for your old mob NM so might be without a few of their guns. Coard a very good player to be missing.

[Sturtman]

Portland won by about 10pts. Not sure what D Jarman is like as a coach during the week, but listening to his 1/4 and 3/4 addresses was suprising. Could hardly string 3 words together, the players were doing more talking then him. Hardly inspirational or motivational to his players when the game was there to be won

[flash]

Pooraka by 4 points !!!

[Choccies]

'burras up by 2 or 3 goals against Flinders Park

Hope number 1 for FP recovers OK. Most sickening broken leg I have ever witnessed...

[FRED]

X RUNNA (or anyone who was at the game), can you give a report on the Mitcham/Para Hills game today. From what my mate told me PH in control for most of the game. Not the first time PH have lost out there in the dying minutes.

[FRED]

Some surprising results today, maybe not as clear cut as some pundits might think. Only one unbeaten side after 2 rounds!!!!!!!
