Southern Football League

[Zelezny Chucks]

the boys got smashed on saturday the team looked like a bit of a joke, what is the point of the league embarrasing themselves like that, the funniest part was seeing lynch do the running in his skin tyight yello runners outfit.

What if the result was different would you still have same opinion?

Winning or Losing I'm sure he still would have looked funny.

i think the only people that got anything out of it would be the u/23's as they were using it as a tune up for a bigger competition. There wasnt any feeling or passion in the game and that was reflected by the poor turnout to watch. If Thebby oval wasnt under the Virgin Blue flight path then the place would have been as quiet as a morgue.

I think it might be time to abandon the u/23 amateurs Vs majority of SFL u/25 with a few exceptions.

[Down the Hill]

SAAFL are playing as an SA rep team and get to wear the State colours whereas I'm not sure how much pride is given to wearing the Maroon and White SFL strip. Even at community level, the club over association mentality has become no different than what State of Origin footy had become. I'm wrapped that 4 Brighton lads put their hand up to play, but with a couple it was under a bit of sufferance. These lads have been doing pre-seaon since December, played 3 trials against quality opposition and then started SFL season with 5 very tough physical games, before having a couple of easier games. These blokes were looking for a weekend off and I'm sure it was the same for many others.

Down the hill-Iagree with you 100%,i think association footy nowadays is done and dusted a complete waste of time(only my opinion)but unfortunately not everyone agrees.Any way thank god that weekend is over and lets get back into the real stuff.Bring on this weekend!!!

[tatts]

Bode didn't have enough of his mates playing in the seniors Association side. Big Fish in Little Pond Syndrome. Happy to dominate Morphies U18s rather than play against men in SFL or even better himself at SANFL

He does have a BOG medal in an A grade Grand Final - pretty sure he was playing against men that day......

Almost everyone i think would like to see him at the very least playing A grade in the SFL as he quite clearly has bags of ability. But i dont think there is a law stating that if your good at footy you have to follow a path that everyone wants you to.[/quote]

your along time finished your junior footy and on top of that Bodey has got himself a job and has put that ahead of his footy.Its ok for everyone else out side the Emus to bag him but at the end of the day at least he is still playing footy and at the club he loves.I have coached this lad and he is a bit differant,a bit of an introvert and not a confident lad so at the moment we are quite happy for him to play in the u18.Ithink he will play A grade in the next few weeks and has made it clear that he keen to do this.

Any truth in a rumour circulating about a "blue" at the Sea and Vines yesterday involving players from rival SFL clubs.

yep.

SFL is also currently fairly weak in one area - RUCK. Brookman has just returned from 2 years overseas and although he has been serviceable to good, it was surprising that he was selected to lead the Ruck. I can't quite work out what the issue is with Bode at Morphett Vale but I'm sure SFL would have had him pencilled in at the end of last season.

Poor comment IMO- what is the difference with young Bodey wanting to play with his mates in the U/18s and the heap of blokes who play B/C grade every week because they cant be arsed training and just want to play a game with their mates? (There is a plethora of players in the lower SFL senior grades who could play A grade if they really wanted to).

FFS Fitzy was languishing in the Porties B grade before he suddenly found the fire and jumped from there to A grade to SANFL to AFL in 3 years... Nothing to say Bode cant do the same thing, IF that is the direction he wants to take.

I say good luck to the kid- he won an A Grade best on ground in a winning Grand Final team. Something I never came close to and I dare say no-one who posts on here has got close to.

Hackham and themselves!

[Cheese Twisties]

Reports (and memories) are hazy but a few Emus players/affiliates were involved in a wine fuelled melee at McLarens on the Lake, but it certainly wasnt a showdown against any rival SFL Clubs or an "SFL Turf War" as being reported on here!

[KEYDEFENDER]

Anyhting to do with the Emu -Viking's behind the play incident from last game?

Maybe CT should have made it more clear that it wasn't two SFL clubs involved KD.

Sorry for not being specific enough... the fight was nothing to with football or against another football club.

Do you at least like the term "SFL Turf War"???

[KEYDEFENDER]

CT with a phrase like 'SFL Turf War' I can see a burgeoning carrer for you at the 'tiser' editorial department or perhaps the Argus cheif football writer.

Thanks for the update but does not seem to be too much in it.. down the hills source must have had to much sauce on the day..

[sportsfan]

it unfortunately looks like the next few weeks will see some lop sided results. with the top sides not playing each other again until round 14 (i think). beginning with this weeks games:

Marion v Reynella
OSB/Lons v Pt Noar.
Aldinga v Flagstaff H.
M/Vale v Noar.
M/Ville Pk. v BDOS
Hackham v Cove
Chr Beach v H/Valley

[Zelezny Chucks]

Not sure if they will all be lopsided surely Cheese Twisties mates' confidence would be sky-high at the moment. Might give the Bombers a run for there money on the Pastie.

[cyclops]

yeh and the pooflies aint travellin that well either."GO THE RAMS"

I thought Mvale park would at least have a shot this week after there last start?
Maybe im wrong.

[tunit]

The wineflies might start too find it a bit harder to score goals i have heard it on good authority that Milo has returned to south and started training as off tonight... They are also after Mckenzie from the vikings, if Baxter can get a league game there they may aswell play the Morphetvale b grade at south...

[Hills]

to Baxters credit he is the leading goal kicker for the reserves and is up there in the league.
The guy is always at the front of the pack when doing the runs and has trained out there 2 years in a row. why not give him a crack?
Your attitude is the same as south in previous years. maybe thats the reason why south have been so bad. They never give all the blokes a go just there favourite players.
Good on Clay for giving baxter a go and hope he gets another league game...
