SAAFL Div 2 & Div 2R (2011)

[Orts]

ROCS are a fair way ahead of the pack imo. they would need to have an off day for PD too win. footy is a funny game though.


hate to bash umps but had a shocker on the w/e iggies bloke running down the wing, goes to kick and our bloke tackles him and the ball comes free. ump calls play on they pick up the ball and kick a goal. asked the umpy why it wasnt holding the ball. and he said "if you drop the ball when you get tackled in that situation its play on"............................. really!!
they could at least know the most basic of rules! the bloke shouldnt be allowed to ump kids let alone div2![/quote]

Not sure the umps would account for the 14 goal difference Teaoby...

Having said that, it seemed to be one of those days where everything went right for Igs. They will be hard to beat on their small deck this year with plenty of strong bodies around the ball. From my perspective, PAOC seemed to want to get at Igs physically and it backfired.

I'm no coach (and we are all experts in hindsight) but I would have thought that PAOC would have been more suited to trying to open the game up rather than take on the bigger bodies at Igs at their own game.

No much room to do that out on Hunter Park though...

never said it cost us the game. we were woeful end of story.
and iim pretty sure most of the skirmishes iggies started and we got sucked into it, which as you say worked for them. i actually agree with you on the style of game though.

i have 0 issue with any of the iggies lads and their games styles EXCEPT white. the bloke is a sniper.

Looking at the reports on the SAAFL website, I see the name Stephen Carter from Port Districts on the list. Is this the same guy who played at Port Adelaide & Port Power?
Got pinged by both umpires too!

Yes it is.

I'm no coach either, but I saw it differently from where I stood.
As I saw it, PAOC put extra numbers behind the ball trying to create some run off the half back line.

This left Abba all alone across half back and he just killed the reds. At center bounces he was the only one on the back of the square and the iggies boys just fed the ball back to him as they pleased. When the game was in general play he just sat in the hole nicely and cut off any supply to JR, who in the end moved up into the midfield to try and find some ball.
Late in the 2nd term PAOC changed it up and went man on man but it was too late and the game was well and truly over by then.

Plenty of fumbling in the packs and poor delivery under pressure really hurt the Reds who have now dropped 3 in a row.

As winter starts to set in, we will get more and more of the heavy boggy games, could be a long cold winter for the Reds.

THe modbury boys have quietly found some very good form. Is it the return of a few players that weren't available in the opening rounds?

Not really Cash, side has had just as money outs as it has in's in the past few weeks. self belief is a huge factor and the there is a good feeling back at the club. . All the things Jolly worked on over the preseason are starting to show on the field, credit to him and the lads.

Freudian slip?

Haha! i saw this after i posted it and just prayed no one would notice, how silly of me! Im going to use the 'i was responding to Cash123 so had dollars on my mind' line and hope you all accept that.

It actually was a typo though, i promise.

Cats beat SPOC by 5 pts. tight game all the way with SPOC hitting the front with 2 mins left only to see us kick the last goal with under a min to go.
Any other scores from todays games?

Districts were up for most of the game, ROCS kicked the last 3 goals to get them over the line. Great game to watch, except for the face that the umpires ruined the match. Sorry to be so blunt, but I have never seen so many ridiculous free kicks in a single game of footy.

And you blokes didn't get any?

Of course we did. Both sides did. But the men in orange ruined what could have been an epic contest.

i heard a whisper that the old iggies vs athelstone game last week was called early by the umps??
can anyone shed some light on it??

[Maybe]

Athelstone seem in a bit of trouble
I hope Daniel Thomas can get them enough wins to stay in A2

[New Era]

no Smith no saints??

You would've been right in that thinking prior to today but we saw a very good team today, Smithless at that.

[teaoby]

pretty good game up at athelstone yesterday, WRECKED! by one umpire who decided to over officiate and over rule the younger umpire who imo was doing a pretty good job. any and almost every 50/50 contest he pulled a free kick out of his ar$e and didnt let a good game of footy flow.

athelstone kicked very poorly and ultimatly it probably cost them the game. PAC were pretty flat in the first half but kicked into gear in the 3rd quater and ran away with it. athelstone seemed to have a couple of blokes running around in the 2's that were much better then lads in the 1's also?

[Hellboy]

Heard last night one umpire gave over 50 frees
half of them in the first quarter

[teaoby]

i hear Frinsdorf from Iggies has gotten a job interstate plus 2 other important players are heading overseas with only one a maybe to return? massive loss for iggies are their top players are very good but there depth isnt the best.

[ironknob]

Has anyone heard of a bloke called Conor Blight? - played for SPOC a couple of years ago ... ?
