SAAFL Division 7 & D7R (2012)

[The Cows]

Gee i did not relise i dismanteled ur spirit, i pretty much confirmed umpiring was bad at some times and did not understand some decisions, and expressed to ur coach that the players and i agree he should not be umpiring. I think you posted on a forum and you are talking it up, to get feedback from others. Going abit over board on worst display.

And as for the waterboys gee there just kids and i think if was a adult in the 50m should have been payed not when kids are helping out it is div 7 and the game was not in the balance.

But the game was played in gr8 spirit, Angle Vales defence was excellent and goal kicking practise is needed. Our zone on kicks killed Flinders Park i can t remmeber how many times we marked a kick in and had shot at goal.

Looking forward to this week our turn to travel all way down to the crabs.

It's called venting on a forum Wizard. Well if it was only a couple of bad decisions why specifically look for our coach after the game to apologise??? I have never encountered this before so it couldn't have been that small. Bad decisions happen in every game. It was at times a joke and after half time we were so over it i just wanted the siren to go. You wouldn't know what it feels like as you are not on the receiving end of this. It is a unique situation that need to be addressed. Go and tell the other teams in this comp it is only Div 7. Oh yeah and the guy who's nose you broke and knocked out sends his regards!!! Only a sheperd my arse!!!! You jumped into him with only one intention. You did try it again after that but luckily missed the mark.

[story of my life]

If it's the same umpire who did the Flinders Park game when they played SHOC in the D's he was definitely one of the better umpires going around. He was pretty chatty and always explained to the players why a free would be given.

Apparently it is. Best reserves umpire I've seen for a few years. Absolutely brilliant. We have been pretty lucky this year with the oppositions umpires, but this guy has been the best of a pretty good bunch

Can't see anywhere that I have been talking MP up marbles. TTG are the team to beat as I am sure we will find out saturday. Been saying for 15 weeks now about how good they are. Add Chambers, Vansoest and their latest clearance aquisitions and they look the team for me. Will be very surprised if MP can get over them. You're obviously quietly confident as well, so it looks like a TTG v Henley grand final. If that occurs would you both go up to Div 6?

You're getting the hang of this Yanky.

Did I mention TTG's latest "BIG" addition Scotty Fraser. Now they are recruiting key defenders to shut down key forwards.Gun midfield, awesome forwards and now gun defenders. Reckon Scott played A's for Athelstone in a key defensive role. Who is gunna be next Haynsy or are all the calls in now.

Yes, dont deflect too much there Yank.... you boys know you cant go past the team sitting top of the table and yet to lose a game!!!!! As Meganeck has pointed out, it is a group of mates that have played a lot of footy together over the years getting back together and having a kick again.... Is great for the club and competition to have some quality players playing (and thats not just at TTG - Henley with Fairclough, MP with the MacDonnell boys etc etc, Rumours that T.Bond may run around at the Pines)....

There may be 1 or 2 more at TTG before the season is out..... And yes big Frase is back at the Gullies after a few years away from the club!! He is loving being back and having a kick and a catch in the black and red again!! As I have previously commented, will be a great end to the season if everyone can get their best 21/22 on the park each week from now up to finals!!

On the side note that Meganeck has brought up.... was a very disappointing incident from one person that probably put a massive dampener on a very good game and day between the two sides. I would like to praise Bigshow and a few other officials from North Pines for stepping in when requested and getting the bloke away before it got right out of hand!! The worst part was, a lot of the TTG players had their kids with them downstairs and they witnessed it....

Good old fashion shepard as our player was running with the ball only thing i did wrong was feet left the ground and his face hit flush on my shoulder. No elbows here and i think you get on here and try to insight the wrong stuff to make Angle Vale look bad and why would i ask umpire to stop game when he was down if i hit him with elbow. And for the fact it was not brett it was other umpire, so don t try to turn this on umpiring again maybe watch the game and if it was elbow why did none of you guys have ago at me, elbow is a crude act.
i take offence to ur comment.

Haha why would your feet leave the ground if all you were trying to do was "shepard" your player?? Think your intentions were made pretty clear mate and lets be honest, seeing as though the hit was literally under our players eyes i think he knows what may have happened. Not like he has anything to gain by making shit up, his nose is still broken and consequently has the new nickname of Owen Wilson. The latter being the part he hates most

[Q.]

He proceeded to tell me that I had a target on my back and that I was most certainly f@*ked and he would indeed be smashing me on our next encounter.

To be fair, most people think this when they meet you.

Pretty sure Jay Horne is there as well, Brad Myers has played some Div 3 A grade at MFC years ago.

TTG arent stacking their C grade though, they have bought in 20 odd A/B grade players which forces blokes down and makes these guys not required to play higher.

cheers... so far...

ok so top 6 there are familiar, dunno if the rest are long serving div 1s or have just played a few B grades & u blokes are exaggerating lol

i see TTG b grade are third and lost last week, now if the Bs coach said to the top 6 we need u to play up...

# would these guys refuse

or

# is the club taking a policy where if theyll never play A's again theres no point playing them in the reserves & the B-grade will only blood future A-graders, meaning that all ex-A-graders can play C grade hmmmmm lol

Around these older blokes are some younger talent, Young Maschotta one that springs to mind. I would suggest the he and the other younger players who have been playing well would get a call up before the old boys.

[dee man]

would have thought the other clubs would be thrilled to have their teams exposed to players that have had that kind of experience
can only help their teams and their own coaching improve in the long run

[Haynzy]

Haynzy wouldn't mind reading your thoughts on the weekends game?

I think that it was a great game on the weekend Bigshow. I did notice some important guys missing from your line up, that were there in the early defeat you guys dished us.

With the comments that were made about the guy in the change rooms after, it was unfortunate and I remember him being one of the guys that didn't play but had a large impact when we played the first time.

With a team like Tea Tree Gully C's most of the players have played higher at some stage and just decided to allow the young guys to step up. We have just been lucky this year to have some inclusions that could still play that level of football, but rather than fight for a spot every week just want to play footy and have some fun with mates.

It would be very unlikely that any of the core C graders would be asked to Step up as there are guys training with the B grade every week, but are missing out due to numbers.

well i am deeply envious, imagine if the sharks old boys did the same and we could match it out old codger vs old codger

whats more important a div 2 reserves flag, or a div 7s?

which title put the clubs name to a higher ground

i dont see Hosie & friends writing 20 page newsletters for the reserves

I would think that the TTG B grade would beat their C grade, the same with Henley. What are you trying to say Marbles? Both their B's and C's are flying, what is it you would like to see them do/change?

To the club, the most important would be an A grade flag and the best way to do that is develop their young players through the B grade. There isn't any real long term benefit pushing guys into the B grade who have no intentions of pushing up.

[story of my life]

Poor form by T.T.G. All those ex A graders should be pushed up, at least for this week

The club is very disappointed in what happened after the game and the player in question has been spoken to and is very remorseful for what happened. It is very out of character for this player to act like this but when you are intoxicated silly things can happen.

[Bigshow82]

In regards to TTG having alot of ex A graders returning to play Div 7 with there mates lets face it Mitchell Park from the first bounce has been the bench mark this year and all other clubs were going to do what ever they could to catch them. This is not a bad thing, its quite good for our competition. Nobody (except Mitchell Park) would have wanted this season to be over by the half way mark and everybody else just playing for second spot? I feel this Div is just starting to heat up and expect a great finish to the minor rounds to see who plays finals and an even better finals series. Mitchell Park and TTG are undoubtedly favourites to play off in the GF but I would not be writing any of the next 5 teams off just yet.

Completely agree. Well said.
