SAAFL Div 3 & Div 3R (2011)

[FRED]

Mitcham do not pay players!!! Blokes come to our club to be around a club moving forward!! The para hills blokes came to us cos they don't want to play div 4. We have a fantastic.group of guys who just want to play with their mates

Sorry, you're wrong

[NO-MERCY]

No way in the world would Mitcham pay that sort of money to players.

[Phantom Gossiper]

Sounds to me a bit like the 2x Para Hills lads are telling you they got offered that sort of coin to boost their egos and make themselves sound/feel like superstars

As PK12 wrote, if Mitcham had that sort of money to splash, why would they waste in on 2x divvy 3 players

[Choccies]

Really disappointing year for us is about all I can say.... Not alot went right, didn't recruit anywhere near well enough (some would say "at all"...), long term injuries to key players early in the year, couldn't take our opportunities when they were presented, not enough effort, commitment or hard work by too many and possibly a presumption that as we have done in the past that we'd be able to go up a division and settle quite quickly. Well, it's back to division 4 for us now and a reality check for a fair few involved in our club I would think.

Not sure what will happen coaching wise for next season and I'd prefer to say nothing on that matter seeing as the B's, C's and D's are still involved in the finals and for other reasons...

Thanks to all the teams in Div 3 for your hospitality and for showing us what standard we need to get to to take the next step. Hope to see some of you again soon !!

[big red supporter]

sounds like Mitcham have a heap of cash to throw around?? Offered 2 Para Hills boy $400 a game for nxt season

I also have heard this rumour not sure if money is correct but believe they will be joining them in 2012 also heard other rumours of players moving to other clubs some believable some not so believable, same story every year lots of goss without much backbone to it.
But if they are true ? the Big Reds have a lot of work cut out for them over the summer.


I believe Bangers is sticking around.

I just want to give a shout out to that weak piece of sh!t No.10 for Pooraka yesterday that decided to be a big tough guy and kick one of ours in the face while he was out of it on the ground on Saturday. To do something like that and the rest of what Pooraka did on Saturday when you have an opportunity to make the top 5 is pathetic and those blokes need to have a good look at themselves. Previous posts on here from Pooraka people said they woudlnt have the brains or be able to target players in any given game. Not having the brains is spot on. In no shape or form am i saying that our side isperfect but it is instileld early on that it is not apart of our game and we have retaleated in the past. Bird, Cochiarro, laslett to mention just three were all targeted and dealt weak, soft and targeted behind play hits. What happened to Cochiarro on Saturday was rediculous. 4 seperate occasions he was smashed and then 10 for Pooraka did that soft act while he was out cold on the ground. He didnt even have the pair to get up after the siren and go to the middle. Waited for our boys to be across the other side of the oval before he came on and walked in between his team mates coming into the change rooms. That's why Pooraka are not paying finals and thats why they will always be a second rate side. Seaton (as much as it hurts to say so) deserve their spot in the 5 by far more than Pooraka.

This thug that you talk of has been a serial offender this year I hear, targeting younger smaller opponents but shying a way from the hard ball, not much between the ears I think and not much down below either, probably justice served them not making the 5. A negative note on what has been a pretty good year for the bulls. Lets hope no serious injuries to the portland boys preparing for an important game against the lions.

Wrong he's been a serial offender for years, did v PH 5 years ago & saafl was informed about him & not good to see that he's still getting away with it..Is he protected in anyway? cant get a kick so he runs around belting blokes behind play ( normally smaller guys) real tough guy... even did it in a pre season game 2010... was their captain for a while

Spot on, Flew off the Handle a couple of years ago against North Haven aswell, dont think he will be getting away with it this time though was sent off (yellow card) and reported by the umpire, what i dont understand is how it was only a yellow card why was it not a red, not that it effected the game as it was only when the game was well and truelly out of reach with about 10 mins to go in the last quarter the card was shown,

[turbo182]

Actually found Pooraka to be quite a fair, but hard side. Don't recall teh particular bloke.

Looking forward to this weeks trip to the dome. Would be nice to get a kick, unlike last week.

Credit to Flinders, they played some good footy when the game was up for grabs. They seem to have a lot of unassuming players who just get the job done, mixed with some obvious guns (Ohara, Visser, O'Donnell). Look forward to a rematch sometime in the next 4 weeks!

Excactly who said we wouldn't have the Brains??? I said we wouldn't have targeted players and we didn't. Pooraka footy is simple - See Ball-Get Ball, it doesn't matter what your name is. As far as No#10 goes, didn't see it, i know it sounds like a cop out, but there was a bit happening at the time. But you guys need to toughen up a little, it was game played pretty physically by both sides, your mate No#2 was felled by a hip and shoulder nothing more!! You talk about weak, soft hits behind the play, he was stretchered off for a hip and shoulder??!! there was a lot of spite and certainly some agression spilled over, but don't for one second pretend that your guys played like angels, No#5 dished out an elbow to a 18 year old kid who was trying to shepard a teammate, and ran away before anyone could call him on it, So is that instilled in your gameplan, Honestly we can and will put our hand up when we need to look at ourselves and we do, no question, but when you guys get on here and hang s%^t on other clubs you need to have a good hard look at your own back yard..

[The Rooster]

On another Note, This Division 3 competition has been blessed by some of the best ruckmen i have seen, with probably 6 or 7 really handy ruckmen it was a delight to watch these big units ply their trade week in, week out.

on the Game itself mate i thought it was a good hard game, and as for the hip and shoulder i agree with it was a good hip and shoulder although did get him a fraction high hence the player being left heavily concussed, it was not what he intended to do, but what disgusted everyone from our club was the act that took place just after that, dont want to go in to it to much but was dead set ordinary,i really like the way pooraka go about there footy and IMO play a very similar style of footy to us but your club (again IMO) are a much better club without this individual.

Obviously not able to read either. He was not just taken off for the hip and shoulder. It was the boot to the head that topped it off. He is one of the tougher and has ample of courage and didnt want to be carried off but when the bloke starts dribbling and spitting blood form that tosser's size 10 boot what do you expect. I will stand by my comments and wont back away. I even wrote that we are not the best of angles on any given day but never to that extent. You want to have a name because of this bloke. Only one option. As piccapoo wrote when it was clear you guys were going no where. your efforts at getting the bloke instead of the ball was not to how you presented your first rant of "see the ball - Get the ball - Far from it. It was more like we've rolled over lets make it harder for them target them and next week they wont be having some of there players. Good work no seriously great game plan. Maybe it can be given back next year if things dont go to plan for us.

Hey Satchel, dont condem their whole team from the actions of 1 or 2 blokes. I know their coach and he is a champion bloke and i know he would be very disappointed with what happened. From what i saw it was a pretty fair, hard fought game, didnt see the incident mentioned(was too far away) but other then the small mellee that took place after the incident i thought it was played in good spirits

Okay, listen, so we can get on top of this. (point A): He WAS stretched off for a hip and shoulder, it was a solid hit and i don't envy him, but it WAS a hip and shoulder (Point B:) again, i didn't see it, and the first i heard about it was your post, so I might just reserve comment about the "Size 10" (Point C:) When excactly did you say you were not the best of angles/Angels on any given day but not to that extent? (Point D:) I know what was said at three qtr time and even at the little intermission while your mate was getting stretchered off and it was to play the game out proudly, not as suggested above (point E:) Like it or not it's Pooraka Football - see Ball, Get Ball, and we know we can improve on area's, but that is a simple rule that our lads have grown up with and finally (Point F:) Hopefully you are a little more committed to division 2 and a premiership than what happens if you don't make it, I know most of your players would be..

[Cash 123]

So was their any ruckus following the incident or what? Hard to think the Portland buys wouldn't have sparked up after it?

Plenty of players around the area bit of pushing and puffing of the chest but nothing over the top, the boys were smart enough to realise that with less than 10 mins to go before being in a prelim final the last thing we needed was to be missing games, sittuation could of quite easily got out of hand after seeing what had happened, a few of the Pooraka blokes also helped defuse the sittuation which was good to see

[scrappy1]

sounds like Mitcham have a heap of cash to throw around?? Offered 2 Para Hills boy $400 a game for nxt season

Weeeeelllll... that's not what i've heard...

Heard the Para Hills boys approached Mitcham about playing for them because PH look to be dropping to Div 4 and they wanted to stay in Div 3.

No money was discussed, merely these lads expressing interest in playing there.

Spot on Phanton gossiper...if we had that sort or money we would be looking at higher quality players than that anyway! Those 2 blokes would be great inclusions next year if they decided to come across. Disappointing for para hills if they are losing these sorts orf players next year. Not sure who you have heard this from but maybe its just an excuse for those lads to leave the club?

Anyone know the results from flinders park and Smosh?

Who are the 2 PH lads who were 'offered' money?

As a spectator of the game no 10s incident was purely not going for the ball getting the ball. The injury was not from the hip and shoulder at all head injuries and hip and shoulders don't really go hand I'n hand booting a player I'n the face more like it not only a reportable offense but a criminal offense....... Other pooraka players seem to be quit respectable but no 10 not the type of bloke u want around ire club weak ass pi$$
