Do you guys have any late games?

This weekend at Lockleys.

Ack, could've helped you out with an ump if it was a bit closer.

Lost a game yesterday we could've won. A few sleepy patches - particularly in the third - cost us. A miss late in the game meant our momentum stopped when we could have only been one point down and Fitzroy's calm demeanour allowed them to score a comfortable 14 point win in the end.

Match played in pretty good spirit on one of the strangest ovals I've ever had the pleasure of playing on. That north eastern pocket really challenges you when kicking for goals!

Also - congrats to the best club umpire I've seen in a very long experience of playing under club umps. It was a particularly top job as our umpire for the day didn't bother to put his gear on and do the job (embarassing for us).

Another highlight of the day was getting to see a bit of Punk Rooster playing

Someone said there was league official there watching you for a spot in the State side Punky

was probably me that said that- and the state side was Over 35's!

Ha! He's not married yet. Just asked her to marry him.
I heard the hills were alive with the sound of music when he asked the question.
And she said that Duncs was one of her favourite things.

Woody South would not be bottom if they could keep fielding the side they had tonight

Did they also have B graders come down and play 2 games like u blokes did & Kilburn did today at 1/4 time Punk?

Don't know Hotpies- just stated that the side they put on the park was very competitve, and if they could keep that side, they would not be bottom. We lost two big blokes to injury during the game- who knows what effect that may have had on the result?
I don't have an issue with B graders helping the C's- quite often C grade are just filling a side, and having a bench is a blessing, especially when you get injuries. Most B graders are sore from their own hit-out, and are often just making up numbers.

Another good win by Elizabeth yesterday.
Seven goals against the breeze set the pace.
From my understanding, the injury count was two broken ribs, a hamstring, a broken leg and a horribly broken finger - all for Lockleys.
Hope those blokes are getting on okay - nasty stuff.

Good hospitality by the Demons too - first drink free after the game.

yeah just the stock standard proposal on the steps of the Florence Duovo (Cathedral) after the sun had set
Luckily she said yes.. or it may have been an awkward 3 remaining weeks in Europe lol

Good win to the lads, gettin a near full strength team and reckon we will come into our own come finals time

I think it's pathetic to drop blokes down from your higher grades when they've played earlier in the day and the SAAFL should not allow it. If you're 50/50 to make finals then you could effectively schedule a twilight or night game towards the end of the season and just have your whole B grade have a few hours rest then double up again at night and nothing will be said by the league. If you ain't got enough players don't have a C grade, simple!!

If you're 50/50 to make finals then you could effectively schedule a twilight or night game towards the end of the season and just have your whole B grade have a few hours rest then double up again at night and nothing will be said by the league. If you ain't got enough players don't have a C grade, simple!!

Trouble is that you may have 90+ players in February which soon becomes 60 odd come June/ July.

True but you're allowed 25 in the C grade comp doesn't mean you have to use them all. Kilburn started with 18 on Saturday and had 7 Div 3R players rock up at 1/4 time to play the rest of the game, just don't think it's fair. Wouldn't be able to do it in finals so why now?
