BL&G Football League

[Bag & Sledge]

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 ??

Cant see Jeff Brown going back to the Lions.
Gee Pac Man your on the ball with everything at Centrals, strange... How are the Brisbane Broncos going?

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.

well thats what i was thinking... yet everyone seems adamant that he will take the job...

and because everyone seems so sure he will take the job... does anyone think any of the GC boys would go with him... as in players in the seniors this year or even lads in his 17's team that are in their last year (mills or molyneux)... anyone have any thoughts...

hermmy will get a gig with the bulldogs next year is my tip, brandt might be an option for south he was good for gawler centrals and knows the league.

You will find the winners this week will be:

tanunda by 10 goals
barossa by 5 goals
gawler centrals by 4 goals
freeling by 2 goals

South V Freeling... match of the day?

[Pinch Hitter]

South V Freeling... match of the day?

Yes this game could decide the spoon.

[jakovasaurus]

South V Freeling... match of the day?

Yes this game could decide the spoon.

i think even if freeling get up on the weekend their percentage is a lot worse and will remain on the bottom

BL&G_Ump is there a feedback process in place for the umpires after each game? The two (cant remember names) that officiated the Sth vs Nuri game on Sat were absolutely disgraceful (agree LC?).

[Liquid Confidence]

Villi - Not to hound on any game or anyone in particular, but I think there has been a lack of consistancy in some of the umpiring this year in general...

BLG_Ump - dont take this the wrong way, as I know clubs have the ability to discuss issues with the Umps at any time, but from a supporters point of view, there are games where the whistle blows and EVERYONE (players included) have no idea why the whistle went and whos free it may be!!

It seems the the downright obvious decisions are often missed, then a small 'tick-touchwood' call is made from nowhere.
I applaud the umps as it is a tough job, but they often dont make their lives any easier...

Im not suggesting it has favoured one team over another in any contests (yet I still believe some players NEVER seem to get kick and some ALWAYS seem to get kicks), and I dont think it has changed the outcome of any games, just be nice to see evryone (Players, Coaches, Umps and Supporters) all on the same page most of the time...

Hey, are you and LC officials? because the league's rule is that spectators opinion remains with the spectator. I didn't see this game, certainly heard about it and the major problems have been communicated... a senior supervisor watched this game and the perception of both clubs was off centre in regards to the free kicks that they expected to be payed... they too have admitted that they sometimes percieve what they see on tv as our rules, this isn't the case...

Any mor questions, please feel free to pm me

If its there, its there. tick-touchwood doesnt exist
its either there or its not
and guys, im just saying, its not as easy as it looks, if you think you can do a better job, or anyone else, were recruiting 24 - 7
personally, i just get sick of continual complaints

i think the umpires in the BL&G are the best in the state, u blokes should get out and have a look at some other comps and u will see just how good they are. the amateur league are very bad and u should also realize how lucky we are to have neutral umpires for every grade. they do a fantastic job and the junior programme they have is excellent

cheers, but these guys won't listen... maybe we should ship in some D7-R umpires...

BL&G Ump appreciate what a tough and relatively thankless task you and your colleagues undertake each Sat. Certainly was good to see several younger guys amongst your ranks but they need education and feedback to ensure that they reach the high standard that has been set over the years. good to hear that there was a mentor on the side lines to help these guys improve. this makes their poor decisions easier to take.

[Liquid Confidence]

BLG_Ump - All I was saying was from a supporters perspective / feedback around the grounds, I never said it was correct...

And on the "ticky-touchwood" subject, Im not saying that the calls are wrong at all, they are usually spot on, but then when a more obvious one is missed, it can be frustrating to watch...

I wasnt on to slag of the umps, As a part of my orignal post you didnt highlight was that I applaud the job they do!!!

I was asked an opinion, so I gave it. Its just an opinion, they are like arsholes, everyone has one, and none are right or wrong, they ar just OPINIONS!

Its great to see the league are mentoring their junior panel, its the best way too learn, and we all make mistakes, gauranteed players make more mistakes a day than umps, but thats all part and parcel with the game....

I actually enjoy when the game flows and the players are left to play....

Are there any late clearances trying to be squeezed in before June 30 that anyone is aware of????

Didnt Barossa have an import lined up for when Christie became a local?

Recruit of the year has to be Gary Watson, no ticky free's with gary he lets the game go.. won't be long till the A Grade selection committee start having a look at him. fitness might be the only query.

[Normo]

[quote="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...

You're on the money LC.
I know all parties won't be thrilled, but he will be taken in. Time dims the memory of some of the misdemeanours and he has always been straight down the line as a bloke.

While on Gawler Central, Bova and Taylor to have MRI scans this Thursday.

Gday lads , this is my first post after a week of reading the wealth of knowledge SA Footy manufactures.

I am a former player in the BL&G and Amatuer League and have enjoyed catching up on the going on's within this comp.

Good to see Alex Kennedy kicking plenty at full forward , the classic type spearheads are a dying breed and having spent my career at full forward i would like to see more of the big guys get used in the goal square.

Cheers
Plugger
