Great Southern Football League

Pongy looked crap all day, no depth to cover outs.

Bays looked fantastic.... Made the mudlarks look very ordinary.. Welshy outkicked their total score himself... Love the pongy crowd tho.. was sure amusing... shame tho that they seem to be building a "rough" culture down the line tho.. senior colts seemed to be thugs towards our young senior colts.... couple of behind play attacks in that game which was very ordinary.... especially in junior footy... shame to have that stigma attached even after the incident last year with the a grade... sure dont impress me anyway..

What is the rushed behind rule in gsfl? Can you get pinged from a ruck contest?

If either ruck man tap it over the behind or goal line on the full..........it's deemed as deliberate

I was watching a mate play for the Bays and would have to agree with your comments there regarding the senior colts game. I wouldn't be sending my lad to that club, the Mudlarks certainly have a bit of a reputation now.

[Yank Man]

Was super impressed with Goolwa-Pt Elliot, they led all day only to have Yank kick the last 2 goals with 5 minutes to go and lose by 7 pts. Vinnie Rugolo had a field day and Menner is a top line defender. They will shake some teams when they get a couple of wins under their belts and a bit more confidence. That said we arn't playing anywhere near expectations atm.

- I have the greatest respect for the Encounter Bay footy club, if you've been around for a few years you'd know why. But how can you say that we have a culture problem when one of your colts was involved in possibly the worst football incident in not only the gsfl but country football only 2 years ago. I'm sure you don't believe this is how your club should be viewed. Also did you not see your trainer/water man push 2 of our colts over on the weekend?? Our colts also have approximately 12 first year players and 2 or 3 final year players which makes us very young as well. So they're hardly the big thugs you're referring too.

Fair chance you weren't even there Rock. You just have an issue with the Ironbank boys leaving....

[Old Blue New Tiger]

WOW I wasn't at the game but have heard the Pongy lads were pretty ordinary with behind the play incidents also against Yank in the first round as well. I hope it is just isolated and can be controlled because the whole club gets tarnished. Like I said though , I wasn't at the game.

WOW... That issue two years ago was certainly a once off.. It was ONE player that got a bit stroppy and he was dealt with not only at Club level but at Tribunal.. I hear he is doing quite well now and has even undergone some anger management etc.. However Im not sure he will play footy ever again and I cant see him returning... It certainly shouldnt be a CLUB CULTURE issue on that one.. It was ONE Player... I was at the match and I certainly didnt see any of your players being pushed by the trainer.. I do know he had issues with them when there were two of our trainers with one of our players that was on the ground and appeared to have been knocked out and he asked yor players to Move out the way.. but I certainly didnt see him push them.. It looked to me that there was a couple of the smaller lads in the Bays team that were being continually LINED UP by a couple of the Pongy boys... and it was certainly behind play.. well thats what it looked like to me.. I just dont think this isnecessary in Junior Footy.. as they come up and act like that in senior footy and then we have incidents like Billy Neelys broken jaw from last year... thats all I am saying.. Behind play is dirty... and not nice... I think one of them actually got a yellow card from what I could see too... It was certainly how I saw it and as did some of the blokes I was standing with... I guess it is appearance..

[The Little Master]

can encounter bay please make available their junior football program template so that every one can copy it. seems they are perfect

A bit stroppy?? He knocked out an umpire....
As I said you'd hate to be given the culture tag because of an isolated incident, as would we. All I can say is that it's not tolerated by the club or coaches. I didn't see our players pushed either but the bloke that told me would not make it up and he spoke to the trainer about not touching our players again. One of the kids did get a yellow but it was for saying "that's bull ..." got a 50m penalty, then continued with it. But i'm not condoning what was said either or interested in a slinging match on a forum.

[rock]

I'm tied up with McLarens wow, not mixed up with IB mate. See you in a few weeks.

[Afterthesiren]

I'm from Ironbank wow and yes it's a shame those 3 left but it couldn't have been for success. They missed something special on Saturday which might just be building into something quite big. Good luck to them out at Pongy though

[The Ferret]

unfortunately pongy is beginning to get a rep for behind the play stuff. not sure whether this is because of the increase in players from the southern as this sort of stuff is more prominant down there. as for the club not condoning stuff like this. when the billy neely thing was called off at the tribunal, and the player in question being able to play, did the club impose a ban on him? was he sanctioned at club level for any of this? if it were to happen at my club i would hope the player would be dealt with at club level regardless of tribunal etc because there is no room for that stuff in country footy. the young lad who hit the umpire was suspended for years by the tribunal but removed from the club permanently. which as far as im concerned was a swift accurate punishment.

[south]

Have to agree with Baysrule. Myponga is getting a bad reputation I watch the
Yank v myponga game i reckon number 20 for myponga blond and goatee he was a total jerk lucky for yank's discipline it didnt tirn into a all in brawl. He went around belting everyone behind play and after disposal. He targeted the smallest youngest Yank players till
Getting Yellow carded in the 3rd quarter the club needs to have a good look
At coaching and recruiting personal.... Normally goes hand in hand... Not good as the GSFL is known for being a clean fair and highest standard of country footy not thugs

[Bunton]

surely the coach there is on borrowed time - place has gone backwards in his time,

Well guess what... He got a yellow card on saturday as well.. He wont be around long...

[Old Blue New Tiger]

I could have put a million bucks on that happening again Baysrule , he did nothing against Yank ( football wise ), only cheap shots at the young ones and the smaller blokes . I bet a guy like Princi would be questioning coming back to put up with that week in week out.

[Hugh Dalloway]

Encounter Bay have always had a thug culture problem.. For a long time now they have had many "thugs" both on and off the field. I hear as recent as a couple weeks back outside the G

[Yank Man]

Moving on guys, for me the men in white should act quicker but that's another issue. Shame really cos there is some real good kids in GSFL and they deserve better.


This week sees some cracker games and chances for all clubs to level the comp.

Langhorne Creek v Strathalbyn Good luck to both teams in the Anzac Day standout. A proud day to play footy. The Creeks
will get some players back this week and will not want to be 0 and 3 so should win by 20-30.

Goolwa-Pt Elliott v Myponga The Magpies to open their account and be a season danger, they have some real quality
recruits and will be too good for the mudlarks by 30-40. Even if it rains.

Mt Compass v McLaren Compass to continue their form. Shock winners over Langhorne's last week and they will
want to back it up. McLaren are improving but Compass by 20-30pts.

Victor Harbor v Yankalilla Should be a beauty. Victor coming of a loss and Yank falling over the line in their last 2,
both teams will be desperate to set their season up, but Yank 10-20 in a thriller, again.

Willunga v Encounter Bay The game of the round for mine. Willunga will be the measuring stick this year and The Bays
the big improvers. Both teams are undefeated so this top of the table clash could go either
way. If Willunga control Welsh and Perrie, then they will win by 20-30, or more?
