HFL Division 1 (Central)

[2words]

arent onkas shit in the B grade so probably not such an achievment however it looks like the lofty B's will be pretty hard to beat once again

Definately werent the best, but have definately improved on last couple of years. they did beat birdwood by 22 goals the week b4.

I have a feeling that we will pump the Devils this week for one good reason; they haven't recruited for Hills footy. There coach has brought in all of these "gun recruits" who are to big or too big and slow to play the game on wet, sloping decks. Even Nathan PG who played juniors there wouldnt have played too many hills games.
Uris to get up by 3 goals.

what a ridiculous statement. how are lofty recruits to big and slow? they have recruited better than any other hills side last 2-3 yrs. they went from bottom to 5th in 1 yr. name one recruit to slow and big?

"Would you be talking about Mt Lofty's star ruckman in Will Grosser- if he is getting paid that is outrageous, I think big Joelby Hampton could play Grosser's role more effectively in the A's. But watch out Joelby your C grade rucking position may be under threat from big Willy. "

I heard James Lyons played at Ironbank last season and is now playing up at Jervois or somewhere in the River Murray league, is he any good??? I heard he used to play Westies as a junior and is getting a bit of coin up that way.

[The Girth]

whats the gow with adam widdison from ironbank is he playing up there because i heard that he was considering a move back to his old club in the SFL?

[Armytank]

Widdo has been playing baseball, getting married and has been on an overseas trip to South Africa and only just got back last week. He has been out to training and is very keen to get back to footy with the Thunderers.

[The Girth]

cheers mate was just a rumour that i had heard doing the rounds

[Justquietly]

I think there's a little too much emphasis put on Lofty's loss last week, and talk of slow recruits.
Sure, Grosser looked slow, but no-one looked real quick that night at Heathfield either.
It's about winning flags, if a few imports help you do it, people will come and watch. There are still some fantastic locals VYING for spots, just the way it should be.

Interesting to see the super B's kick 14.8 (I think) in those conditions.

Didn't you kick 6 of those points?

Maybe not 6, but i definately had a few cracks. Hopefully a better return next week, something has got to give!

Interesting, i believe that the whole league was spoiled last year with a complete lack of wet weather games, I dont think Lofty have really been pushed in wet conditions, could be an interesting year if we see a majority of wet weather games this year. Lofty can take it to anyone in the dry as demonstrated last year, their skills are great, but clearly as was shown on the weekend they dont seem to be able to handle the wet weather too well.

Well i guess if its dry Lofty, if its wet maybe Uris may get up?
also Blackwood over Bridgy
Hahndorf over Birdwood
Onkas over Mt Ronnie
Ironbank over Lobethal

Everyone's got a VERY short memory on wet weather footy.

Mt Lofty v Uris at Heathfield in 2006. Devils win by 1 goal in 2 and a half quarters of WET WEATHER footy.

Mt Lofty v Blackwood at Heathfield in 2006. Devils win by 17 odd goals and keep Blackwood to 3 behinds for the WHOLE game in 4 quarters of WET WEATHER footy.

Seriously, Onkas won because they played better. It was a good tough, hard game and Onkas got up by 5 POINTS.

Lets not write the Devs off after a 5 point loss. There are 18 games left in the season. Don't be surprised if the Devs win every one of them.

[Red Baron]

Yeh Ironbank lost a couple to Blackwood and Flagstaff Hills so ive been told

Would of liked to seen B.Dunbar coaching the 17s this year, maybe his daughters could of run the drinks hey PP? :p

PITY YOU DIDN'T KICK SEVEN STRAIGHT LIKE AT THUNDER PARK IN '05'.

AS WITH THE 'A' GRADE AT DEVIL LAND THEY WERE MISSING A LOT UP FORWARD. BUT THAT IS LIFE. THIS WEEK THE FORWARD LINE WILL LOOK ALOT MORE POTENT. AND IT IS FORCAST FOR FINE WEATHER SO IT WILL BE ON. IF PENCIL IS IN THE RUCK ALL DAY THE ONBALLERS WILL HAVE ALL THE PLAY OUT OF THE GUTS. THAT MAN IS A BETTER RUCKMAN THAN ANYONE IN THE HILLS. AND CAN NOT BE CONTAINED AROUND THE GROUND.

[Armytank]

Bit harsh Don't you think Red Baron?

Tell me were are you lining up on Sat?

[Mop Up]

Yeh if you call it playing then yes he did at Ironbank. Would tear a hamstring (heart string) most trainings. Can play a good game once a year but just no consistency. Goes around looking for big money and clubs stupid enough to pay it. Jervois are on a Winner!

[dangermouse]

Champions don't look for excuses mate, they just let their footy do the talking blah blah blah.......
Just saving you the time big fulla

Leather poisoning, it is blasphemy to speak the lords name in vain

boys boys boys.. i think every is already starting to write lofty off. and those ids that think its all freaking money that keeps the club winning you are all full of shit.. there are plenty of guys in that team that aren't seen a cent... what alright everyone look hard at there own teams if there isn't 6 players getting paid in each team they are dreaming... lofty only have that maybe 8.. grosser not getting paid... peterson grey from knowledge isnt either..
another point is wet weather is wet weather lofty can mix it up... if you look hard at the game there was a big difference in frees for and frees against not going lofty's way.. lofty controlled that game and a couple of soft decisions cost lofty.. and it was a hard game but a good game 5 points is no margin its still a win loss situation . one bloody kick... so everyone should just look at there own clubs and stop bagging lofty because they have probably one of the best line ups in year up in hills.. its all about club pride fella.. one unit not individuals ...

DA you should incorporate sturt , centals and westies into the mix.. and if you really wanna get into it souths
