BL&G Football League

[Bat Pad]

Now that the BL&G is no longer the best country league in the state as they think they are, is it time for the league and players to stop looking down on other leagues as has been the habit in the past?

Well the BLG has won the past two years so suddenly they lose one game and they are not the best still?
Does every other so called gun league have their best players dropping out with injuries or does the GSFL have to play five under 23's???

Well one you played against the HFL. Yes they had the Under 23 rule as well. And yes the HFL had a few pull out with injury. Adam Klun, Tim Nicholas, Brad Burch, Ben Eckermann, Alf Stephens, Matt Down, Mark Bradley, Brad Devries, Daniel Roberts, Brett Howman, Aaron Bishop, Simon Mccormick are a few of the ex league footballers who didnt play on Saturday due to injury. Also the two leading goal kickers in Damien Gigney and Aaron Roche also didnt play, nor did last years Mail Medallist Simon Nunan. Also, Hills have won it more times than Barossa.

This same argument get's brought up every year. Gee it would be nice to choose from 20odd teams to pick your best side. Honeslty until this under 23s rule gets changed how on earth can you gauge ur best 21.

From what i saw of the handorf ground and facilities and from some of the other towns along the way the BLG is the best country league in the state.

These representative games don't mean a cracker to how good the clubs are in the competition, having the money to buy in the best available players into a particular association or having players willing to compete can change from year to year, the grounds, the atmostphere, the competition between clubs and the history of an association doesn't.

I am yet to be convinced that any other country league has the quality of clubs in one group that the BLG does although i haven't seen the SFL.

So if you feel insecure because we look down on you we understand and will try make you feel more important by throwing more inter-league games.

What a load of crap. What would you know about the other leagues in anything you just mentioned? You know about the History of Hills Central do you? Know about the History of the GSFL too? You must be a traveller. Obviously know all about their atmosphere too coz you drove past a couple of their grounds on a rainy day. Association doesn't mean anything now that you lost it does it. Lucky Hills Central didn't make it compulsory 3 years ago, even still they couldn't get enough players to fill a side. Still won though.

The Hills have 399+ players to choose from with their 19 clubs
The BLG have 189+ players to choose from with their 9 clubs

I reckon the BLG Premiers (Tanunda) should take on their so called best side (kersbrook) and see if that can quieten them down!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just like all the Hills People have done the previous 2 years made every excuse under the sun... All because they got flogged. I guess we all no nothing on here and you no everything!!!!

Saying Kersbrook are the best shows how little you know about HFL.

Hence the strength of your league when you can't get enough players to fill a side. Travelled plenty and would rate the Riverland comp above Hills any day of the week.

No club cares if the BLG wins this game everyone just enjoys the week off and says kudos to those who played if they win.

Ok Borat i will educate you. They won the DIVISION 2 flag. Known as Country Division. See HFL has 2 divisions. The other is known as Hills Central, which is the first division. Kersbrook would be the 7th best side probably, possibly 5th however, but certainly behind Hahndorf, Uraidla, Mt Lofty and Blackwood. But a side at Kersbrooks level is very rare in Country Division, and usually the best side in Country would probably only beat the last side in Central. The best side in HFL at the moment is probably Hahndorf.

[Bat Pad]

Riverland over Hills Central. I doubt anyone in the Riverland would even claim that. Think you're getting Hills mixed up with only Country Division. Who has been playing in the Hills games you have seen?

[Footy Boots]

another thing that needs to be said in this topic is the oval. the hills players would have played on that piece of shit alot more. the goals wernt lined up right the wind was all over the place and it was like looking at a u9s oval, the 50m line looked like about 35

[Pac-Man]

The Hills league is a ordinary league at best. Not just the competition but the infrastructure and facilities. There isnt the supporter base as other country leagues and lets face it , its just too bloody cold and wet to enjoy a football game.

When i finished at Galwer Centrals i played 3 games with Blackwood , that was enough to realise the comp was a mickey mouse comp played on poorly maintained ovals and shitty weather.

[On The Pine]

Interesting response. The standard of the BL&G probably can't be questioned - resources, population and cash take care of that - but attitude towards other leagues probably can. Just scroll through some of the posts, you'll see what I mean!

[Dizzee Rascal]

One thing BL&G gets right that the HFL doesn't is umpire attire that doesn't clash with the teams playing. Yet again yellow shirts on the Hills' boundary umpires.

have to agree with these assessments, the only positive i can derive from the hanhdorf grounds is that one could throw beer cans from above at players who need to lift their game.

[Koll Joll Roll]

Haha you barossa boys are classics.. Think you have been drinking to much wine and smelling your own asses!!

You think the barossa league is better because have more supporters, better weather??? and better facalities. Yes you do have more $$$ because you have massive wineries up there throwing money supporting clubs so you should have better facalities. But that doesnt mean the footy is better.

Kersbrook play Country Division and yes Tanunda would beat them and win Country Division easily. But throw them in the Central and they definately wouldnt get it all there own way.

We are going argue this point every year because some bloke didnt play and we had a heap out ra ra etc! But i will say if Hills continue to implement the suspension rule and take it seriously by suspending players who miss Hills will not be beaten by Barossa for a while. For the quality players you said you had out we had the same. Does that mean our depth is better in that case, therefore the comp is a bit better???

But you boys in enjoying drinking you wine and keep thinking your the best!!

Footy boots you hero why werent you kicking goals from Centre Half Back then??? D#$*(#$#ghead

[Bat Pad]

What a bunch of sore losers. Blaming the ground, goal posts and wind. When Hills Central lost those two times (still won more) all anyone from Hills Central said was it was because hardly any decent players played. Everyone from Hills Central knew, and said that if it is made compolsory Hills Central would win. It was, and they did. In a canter, and with 18 players up for suspension for still not showing interest. But why show interest, all we need is something resembling a full side to beat your mob, and it's been proven time and time again.
