Yeh BJ Uraidla traveling pretty well massive preseason ,got some BIG gun recruits who will travel down your way pretty confident of getting the points.Have heard Willunga will be taken the game very seriously playing a fall strength team,just what the uraidla boys need after a 3 day journey on the horse n cart.

Who are these 'gun' recruits Micky? Uraidla have not picked up anyone other than some mates of current players plus a few senior colts who have come up from last years Grand Final side.

"The broad task of challenging perceptions extended to umpires themselves as Damien and Tim ran fifty Adelaide Hills Football League umpires through training drills that exposed the group to the proficiency and fitness required at the top level."

I reckon there was over 40 out on Wednesday night!
It was interesting looking at the body shapes especially with red muff out there now as well.

Mine too! As a well entrenched B grade player, hopefully this means we will have some panel umpires this year. Last year was too inconsistant with the club umpires; i know they did some minimal training but you never knew what you were going to get each week.
Before you all say this may also be true for any umpires, hopefully there will be some more consistency e.g. hands in the back rule.
I think the umpires in general do a great job, but we can still want the best!

[MIRACLE MAN]

umpys always do a great job..just ask them!!!

[MONTE CRISTO]

Umpys start and end the game - lets leave it at that!

In fairness some are quite good and everyone already knows them but guess they are also like a football team - you have good players and then some who just make up the numbers!

[200 Killer Wasps]

And then you have AFL umpires who are a completely different species.

supa,did u get alongtothe cleve/tasmans game yesty???

[200 Killer Wasps]

No sorry was working, haven't heard a score yet.

By all accounts, the Devs thumped Chrisites Beach by 20+ goals in the A's and the Super B's had a 3 goal win.

Not sure what standard Christies are, but it's good to have a win heading into round 1.

Go you Devils!

[Baron Greenback]

Renmark defeated Ironbank by a goal in the As.
Ironbank won by 13 goals in the Bs.

Thought you might have been too ashamed of yourself to post on here BD? Why no mention of the nightime competitions which you blokes failed to score in again?

DA christies beach are only a shadow of what they were. predicted bottom 4 in the southern football league thread

comments from the SFL thread for you DA

Could be a long season for Christies Beach judging by tonights efforts against Mt Lofty, only kicking 5 goals between the senior colts, b grade and a grade. Both senior sides didnt manage a goal until the 3rd quarter

by all regards most have picked christies beach to not be around the mark. Was there any positives that could be taken out of the game for christies beach? Any players that went alright??

chrisities beach were terribale. no players really stood out at all in a grade. one young player in the back lines did ok but had no support. cant remember his number. they looked very unfit. would say that it could be a long year for them.

and

Marion Played Hahndorf at Hahndorf yesterday. Went down by about 4-5 goals in the end but had about 6 or 7 A graders out. Not sure what players Hahndorf had out but showed some good signs.

but marion not tipped to make the 8 either. about 10th out of 14 teams and christies 12th
