Another real good effort by Aldinga today ---- just went down by three points. Could have been sitting on five wins at this stage with close goes against Christies, Noarlunga and now Flaggies.
More evidence that Shane Lynch is getting them somewhere. Rome wasn't built in a day, but it seems it is coming together.

Key phrase: Could have been.

Read my post on the Sharks thread. Aldinga have improved, but this is still not good enough. We are capable of beating these teams and it's time we made the extra effort. We always seem to fall short and then feel proud of ourselves for getting so close. That's a dangerous attitude to have. We've got to START WANTING IT! To go out on the field and... ah, yeah, just read my post on the Sharks thread. I can feel another 'going off to war' inspirational speech coming on again.

Won't buy an argument from me from any of that ---- the biggest mistake would be to accept defeat as good enough.
I'm not a Shark --- just very impressed with the progress of a club I'd love to see make it in Div One footy. I get angry at negative comments that Aldinga are actually collapsing when the actual direction their performances are taking is forwards.
Also very impressed with the attitude of the Aldinga coach who could have quit like Kelly but chose to stay and build the side instead.

Anyone got the Hackham A Grade score, not in paper?

[Bag The Points]

42-23 to 1-3 ---- Reavills kicked 24 between them (Matt 13, Dan 11)
Port score was also wrong --- Divers won 11-15 to 8-4

Heard that Cove went out and wanted to kick 70 goals and Hawks were pretty happy with only a 40 goal loss. Sounds silly to be happy with that but it is 20 goals better than the last game I suppose.

There's the problem right there!

[rodney fox]

Fisho and BTP agree 110%. Good posts.

Anyone got the other A grade results from the weekend?

[pale ale]

Heard that Reynella has a big injury list at the moment and Porties lost Manhhod with a knee injury again on Saturday - big blow for the cockledivers who are gaining momentum.

[the observer]

Pale Ale Manhood has not played this year and will not as it need a full recon. your right he is sorely missed along with about seven others at the moment with three more going down saturday.

What are your thoughts heading into this weekend against Aldinga Observer?

[the observer]

Do you really want me to get sucked into making a statement all I will say is they are playing good football and a victory against a higher listed side is getting closer and closer. You cannot take any side easy and if you let the guard down your in trouble just ask Reynella after the Morphettville Park game. Cockledivers as you know is struggling with a heap of injuries like most teams and the youth of the side is carrying them along. It will be a good game.

Wasn't trying to suck you in at all. This forum gives people the opputunity to be honest and that's all I was asking, what you honestly thought of the game ahead and how they might go against a depleted cocklediver outfit. Some good points though it definately would be nice to knock off a side we haven't beaten but until we can actually do that then we will see.

On the topic of lower sides improving. Saw Morphy Park on Saturday and they are a decent unit. About 10 mins into 3rd quarter scores were 11-6 to 10-3 Brighton's way and this wasn't necessarily due to Bombers playing poorly. Bombers kicked 10 of the next 12 goals to win by 10 goals but the Twisties deserved to finish closer. They now have a genuine midfield and useful forward set up but seemed to lack key defenders.

Baxter last year was nowhere near league standard, he struggled in the 2s

good to see he got a handpass yesterday!

good to see Aldinga get close but no cigar again on the weekend, this week will be a different story for all the wrong reasons for the sharks though, i just heard that Shane lynch is looking at the Gumeracha job at the moment any truth in that rumour rodney?

Could have at least quoted my whole post Tunit. But nothing ventured nothing gained hopefully for Ash' sake he gets another go but if not then go back to the 2s, find form and get another crack!!

Aldinga so close yet again! There is definitely an art to winning and it becomes a culture and teams learn how to win close games. The Sharks are on the improve, lets hope it continues on through this year and next year they take another step forward up the ladder.

Hope he gets good petrol money for the XR6, Heard X-Sharky will be assistant coach and possibly Bachmann for next year

You no need to get personal lion heart should not be questioning Baxter.Lets just say some porties connections have informed me of your identity and i nearly fell over crying with laughter. Seriously you couldnt get a kick in a street fight.

[tunit]

really, you know who i am, if you did you would know that baxter has a long way to go to get to where i have been, if you know who i am why don't you tell me by pm, so i can laugh at you and your guesses...

[tunit]
