SAAFL Div 6 2008

[S Demon]

Left the Houghton v Greenacres game at half time with Greenies about 8 goals up. Wasn't all that exciting to watch (like most trials i guess). Not sure of the final score. Houghton looked like they had a very similar side to last year, with their big ruckman and maybe a couple others still to come back in.

Houghton were doing well in the centre, but breaking down across half forward/full forward with starry showing the obvious effects of a big weekend cricket trip. Greenies looked a lot cleaner around the ground and had a bit more system to the way they went about it. Greenies looked a much fitter side and i reckon they might have run away with it a bit in the second half

Yes

[hawkseye]

Morphy pks won by bout 10 goals. They were tall fit and knew their unusual oval very well. We were 2 goals behind half time and 1st half was a good game of footy. A few players came off at half time and a few bgrade boys played another half of footy. Was a pretty physical game too, which is good for a trial. Their supporters arent very different from ours.

[hawkseye]

hey guys hawkeye had a big night out last night and will probably be on here later, im sure he will fill you all in with the details

Thanks for covering for me axe. Im not very well today.

[Q.]

I noticed Houghton's super coach and his sheep, woops - i mean footy director, were at the game today. Tried to sneak in quietly in the blue toyota hilux. Might have to sneak in quietly tomorrow and have a look at how they go against greenies. Hope they liked what they saw. That was our best 21 that ran out there today...

I think you will find it was just the FD and some players who were watching SDemon, again ur just assuming things and being a smartass, it was one of 4 games we watched yesterday.

Kersbrook we very good in that 1st quarter, they are a very very well drilled team, West Croyden looked like they had a lot of A graders out of their squad and I only saw the last few minutes of the lockleys game, so no real comment there.

SDemon I know you have better players to come into that A grade squad, you definately have some talls though .............

Maybe he thinks I am a super coach FD, you did miss my crucial positional tactics in the last quarter of the Reserves game... Enzo to full forward!!



Baaaa!

Haha, he always looks like that!!

[Cougar]

Bs lost. dont kno much about that match apart from we had 15 on the bench.
A grade lost by about 10 goals. Kersbrook very good in first quarter. ball barely got to our fwds. heccies showed good signs in 2nd half tho. started getting run and hit jb on the lead. always hard to tell in trials with both teams rotating players. i played midfield for the first time in a few years

No disgrace losing to kersy's by 10. We played them a few years ago and got a bit of a shock at the result. Very well drilled side and obviously play at a higher standard than probably div 4??

Would say they around a decent div 4 team, had some very good players in their team, heccies 2nd half was alot better would of been only 1-2 goal difference but maybe that because the coached put on 8 fresh players after the break...was dissapointing 2 see the huge mess the kersbrook fans left behind

Kersbrook smashed Hope Valley by 20 goals a couple of years back, and Hectorville put up more of a fight. Roger James didn't play on Saturday and only will spasmodically for the Brookers due to Rooster Coaching commitments, while Brett James only played a half before observing from the Bench. From what the Brookers saw, most players think that Heccys will go alright in Div 6, and wouldn't surprise going up a grade after this season. Dissapointing to hear criticism of Kersbrook supporters, considering most of the Heccy's faithful were impressed with our usage of the Home Team's Bar after the Game.

[Q.]

Kersbrook played very classy football from what I saw of first quarter and a half, but have seen you lads train a couple of times and expected so. No harm in the heccies lads playing against such quality football, much to be gleaned.

Who are the Brookers playing first round? Hopefully get a big crowd at Houghton for that, I know there'll be several of us lads there to adopt you as our team for the day.

[Footy Chick]

Baaaa!

Where did you get your sheep?

[Q.]

I'm part kiwi, so usually carry a sheep with me.

Kersbrook play neighbouring rival Gumeracha at Houghton this Saturday (Round 1). Apparenlty Gums have a few West Croydon recuits. Be aware gents, if you venture to Houghton there will be a small fee to pay at the gate, as it's still a registered HFL game. Good to hear the Heccy blokes confirm that the Brookers are still stronger than Birdwood.

[Q.]

Dude, I have the keys to the gate, I won't be paying anything

Anyway, it will be worth the small amount of coin to see some good footy, particularly against traditional rivals.

Will be quite interesting to see who lines up for Gummies as well
