BL&G Football League

[Pinch Hitter]

Team Plyd Won Lost
Tanunda 8 7 1
Nuriootpa 8 7 1
Angaston 8 6 2
Gawler Central 8 5 3
Willaston 8 4 4
Barossa District 8 4 4
Kapunda 8 2 6
South Gawler 8 1 7
Freeling 8 0 8

At the completion of the first round, we can now begin to make a fair appraisal of the ladder. Top three appears set with no surprises. The only possible change is that Willaston or Barossa could take Centrals claim on the fourth position.
Pac-Mans boys may be getting the wobbles!

Tanunda - still look set for the final dance
Nuri - addition of experienced players has made the difference for staf, expect them to lose a couple more games in the second round. Looks likely to be the club in waiting to take Tanunda's mantle in the next few years.
Angaston - will limp into the finals series
Gaw Central - if taylor is out they might get the wobbles before the preliminary final this year
Willaston - good signs with a new coach and young group, but too hit and miss this year to string together the wins needed
Barossa - have enough danger players to keep things interesting
Kapunda - going about their business quietly and are showing some progress
South - this was a make or break season, unfortunately they broke
Freeling - struggling, hopefully they can taste victory at least once for the leggies fans.

Ango to limp into the finals pinch??? There biggests challenges are in the coming weeks. Have a free crack at tanunda this saturday, then nuri the week after, could be top in a couple of weeks!! Even if they drop both these games like you would think pinch, doubt they would limp into the finals with the draw that is left for them after the next fortnight. Will be interesting to see how far they have come since there round 1 drubbing!

[Kart Horse]

Is Alex Kennedy for real? I swear i saw him pull a mirror out of his shorts on saturday and straighten his hair!

Sorry Ruben, I did not know we had to put our footy credentials down when we came onto this web site. If you can’t say what you think on this site and only tell the truth then what Pac-Man wrote about the BD players asking for O’connors return & that Heath Commane will leave if Nelson is the coach in 2010 must be true.

Fair cop. What PacMan should do if he has any credibility is let us know WHERE and WHEN Commane "openly said" what he claims was said, and was he there??? If it was openly said, who else heard it ?? I reckon it's a croc.
I still maintain you are very unfair about Nelson though, I think he's done a good job with the cattle he's had as his disposal. BTW. He had 2 16 y/olds playing last week and both did pretty well. Do you have a problem with him developing youth ??

Antidog what is your problem???
I think you have a hate for Nelson or something is missing in your head. I beleive that the club is happy with Nelson as coach. he is doing a great job with bring up alot of younger players into the team. I think they have done a great job so far with what they have got. I wouldn't be surprised to see them playing a better brand of footy in the second half af the season.

Not under rating them tornoto definitely earnt their top 3 stance they inflicted Nuri's only loss so far this year and at 6/2 finals is as good as guaranteed.

The draw wouldn't matter they will need to play the same crash and bash footy to win against nuri, tan, gc, barossa and willaston i'm tipping some of their heavily bandaged old bodies might just struggle to keep pushing the envelope for another 9 weeks.

what the blg board wants to know are barossa going to persist with the local products or find another team of mercenaries to buy their way to back to a grand final. it is a tough choice because i'd say they'd be more than 3 years off if they went with option 1.

[Pac-Man]

Suprised my comments about Oconnor and current star import Heath Commane have raised a few eyebrows on this site. I thought that information was common knowledge.

I think Pinch Hitter hit the nail on the head suggesting the leadership group very much take control on gameday and leave Ryan with the magnet board.

I am not knocking Ryan Nelson as a coach , the guy coached them to second the year after they secured two premierships. I am sure most clubs have personality clashes between players and coaches. With Oconnor free and looking for a gig and players welcoming him back with open arms i would suggest Nelson might be looking over his shoulder. Stranger things have happened.

At the dog track, Craig will be dressing down the group Tuesday night and then taking them over to Starplex to freshen up after a bruising encounter against the Pies.

[PitBull]

Whilst on the topic of coaching, I overheard an interesting converation regarding the upcoming advertised South Gawler top job. South have aprroached or have atleast requested the resume of a current assistant coach from another Gawler based club.
Hint - His mentor is the Master.

Would his initials happen to be SK? if so that would have to be one of the worst rumours I have ever heard Pitbull.
PS. Keep of the magic mushrooms.

You are very warm Duke. I am only telling you what I heard. You heard it here first!

You must have heard it from SK himself

[Osama]

Knowing the big fella, it wouldn’t be such as silly option for South to further investigate. He has been there as an assistant and tasted premiership success as an assistant under the guidance on Seelander in 2003.
Seelander and Hadden were both chasing SK’s services for 2009 with the big fella often being the brains behind some of Seelander’s master moves.
SK knows the competition like the back of his hand and could well be the steroid injection that the Lions need to bring back their glory days. I would have thought that he may well firm as a dark horse to go head to head with Seelander and Hadden in 2010. Time will tell.

[Ruben Carter]

Craig Dawe tore strips of his cubs after the game , its was heard from the clubrooms and must of pealed the paint off the change room walls.

Hope his players were all sitting down at the time so he could look them in the eye..LOL

Ha thats the funniest thing ever! That will go down like his cricket career in the past few years! U got big fella right tho! Is he getting bigger fast?

Hello everyone, i have been reading for along time and i have been driven to post by the crap that the posters on here that seem to have connections with angaston write.
If you believe them, you need to go to the seelander school of coaching to be any good, how did hadden go against dawe???? and for that matter "the master" as you people call him.
As for SK, he might well have those attributes you say osama but it would be a huge risk to appoint a guy, correct me if i am wrong, that has not coached before at any level. Matt Herrmann would be a far better option for South Gawler, he has done great things with the kids at Gawler Central.
Didnt Ben Burgess also do an apprenticeship under seelander??? whats his record at Hamley Bridge, 1 win in 4 years isnt it??
It would seem the great milky vivian has far better credentialled disciples than seelander.
Ok i got that off my chest.
Pacman, have u heard a diagnosis on BT's knee yet? It will be a big loss for the club if he is out for the season and other players will need to step up. Looks like our own AK has already stepped up showing the vintage form on the weekend that has made him one of the premier onballer/goal sneaks in the comp kicking 6. Maybe the veteran can carry us to another flag like he did in 01.

have heard SK is fading away at the moment kart horse
would take something big to entice him across the bridge maybe an endless supply of big macs

Havent got the report on Bradley yet , will know more this Saturday.

Kingy was superb last Saturday and if he can muster up a few more games like that during the back half of the season the Tigers should still be alive GF day.

Would hate to loose Matt Herrmann to South but i think he is the best available option currently in the BL&G. A bit liike Nathan Buckley is the hottest coaching property in the AFL. They would be mad to not consider him.

[Normo]

Taylor - medial ligament damage. Maybe 6-8 weeks. Paul Bova is an interesting one. Came off looking a bit sore, but (unconfirmed) may be out for the season. I know he has mostly been in the reserves, but has been looking more like an A grader each time he gets a run in the "ones". Casey Thomas also came off the ground sore, but should be right for this week. May miss one game at worst.
Tigers need all hands on deck for the clash with the Barossa Tigers

Also, a prodigal son returning to Central. Sneaking up in age now, but will be lodging a clearance soon (if not already). Be very handy in the reserves and a great clubman now he's got a few things organised.

[Liquid Confidence]

Normo,

If its who I think it is, will the club take him back. I have heard rumours that he may not be welcome by ALL parties...

I see in the Herald that the Zone squad has been announced... Just curious how players who didnt play association footy are selected in the squad, I thought they had to play to be eligable. And if they didnt play, they are obviously being picked on names alone... Interesting...

And will they put their hands up to play... Who has the bye that weekend?

[Pinch Hitter]

hermy would be a good option for the lions but they would need to put a decent proposal together, i recommend south to sell the squash courts and try lure Jeff Brown from the bulldogs he knows the ropes and the monkies at south.

pac-man, what options have the tiger's got around the footy without BT ?? hahn to spend more time on the ball ??

i might have missed it when reading previos posts but are people implying that if hermy does take the job it will be affective pronto or what... probably sounds like a stupid question but i bet alot of people have thought about it...

very unlucky about BT... bet everyone at tiger land is hoping saturday wasn't his last game for the club... im sure the club will find someone to replace him around the footy but no one will be as damaging as him...

[Pinch Hitter]

hermy wouldn't go across from an undefeated super team to a team being belted regardless of the grade, coaches just aren't that silly.
