BL&G Football League

[Plugger04]

Heard this whisper down the sandy creek hotel on the weekend. Occonnor has been offered a queens ransom to return to the helm at barossa next year with Nelson heading interstate for employment the post will be vacant.

Hopefully he can tidy up the culture down there, as it sounds as though the supporters have lost the plot.

I saw the incident that happened at the Freeling Barossa game. Yes it was late, Yes the crowd was over the top and if Freeling are asking for an Apology from the Barossa will the crowd at that game get an apology from the Freeling club and player (No5) who was sent off the ground and as he run of the ground tried to pull out what he thinks was his dick but to many laughs from the crowd who couldn’t see anything, will he be apologising to the BL&G and the club. I would say that at any level of footy this type of behaviour is not on and the BL&G should look in to it. You let one away with it and it will snow ball. We have a very good competition and it would be a shame to let it go downhill. I say to Freeling A’s No5 “Let people think you are a man than drop your short to remove all dought”.

I must have blinked. It may have been a bit late but He was going the ball. Coming from the other direction, accidental contact. The 50 was given for the scuffle afterwards not the enitial contact. As for the No 5 [who i know] He copped a bit from the crowd on his way off but should not have done what he did

[drifter]

so a player suffers a horrific facial injury through, as you say, accidental contact. Accidental or not the head needs to be protected and it was reckless even if it was accidental. And for that, not even a 50 m penalty, just a paid mark he was unable to take. Where's the consequence towards the player who hit him ???

[Pinch Hitter]

The run home:

nuri 20pts - kap/tan/bye/free/SG
ang 18pts - GC/bye/bar/will/kap
gcfc 14pts - Ang/bar/will/kap/tan
wfc 10pts - Free/SG/GC/Ang/Bar

Nuri get the double chance on this run home should pick up 3 wins to finish on 26pts
Ang win 2 of those to finish 4th on 22pts
GC win 4 of 5 to finish 3rd on 22pts
WFC win 4 to finish 5th on 18pts

[Swooper]

Interesting stuff between Freeling and Barossa, I have to agree with Drifter that the head is supposed to be protected but it could well have been totally accidental (eg James Hird). What is more disturbing is the comments about the crowd, I hope that what has been said is not true or the Barossa fans should hang their heads in shame.

Question for BLG Ump, can you handball the ball over your head?

On sat Britton dished out a very smart handball over his head, the whistle blew and a throw was called. After some dismay and argueing the umpire clearly said "You cannot handball over your head". Other than that the umpiring was fairly good up at Kapunda, the young girl is still learning and probably should be still in the B grade but she will get there.

Tips for this week

Willaston over Freeling- 6goals although could be an upset here with Willastons season now over
Kapunda over Nuri- 2goals Kapunda to open up the double chance for the gawler tigers
South over Barossa- 4goals South on the improve and Barossa imploding, South could win a few in the run home and be primed for an assault at the finals next year with Herzick possibly being reappointed
Central over Angaston- 12goals, Angaston are over rated their so called young guns in pech and bain are only rated by the media within the AFC, give me hewitt, molineaux, and the hillebrands anyday. And all their older players seem to be playing to rack up A-grade games(doecke, reimann, white and bascombe is too old to even rack up 1 game) and are well past their best where as our experienced players are only getting better with age. Kingy is in superb touch and captain courageous with his kamikaze like approach to the footy proving very difficult to get past at CHB. Scooter and Niklaus to kick 15 between them.

Nice attempt at a trying to sell the Gawler Centrals side to us WEARECOMING.
All the senior players you mentioned (King, Scooter and Niklaus) are all quality players who have earned their stripes and must be watched.
As I mentioned previously, unaccountable sides like GC have allowed players like Reimann, Doecke and White collect more accolades than you have had wet dreams. Give them the underdog tag anyday of the week.
As for the kids, Bain and Pech are proven at this level.
Hilebrand is good, Molineux has to earn his stripes at this level first and who the F**k is Hewitt?
I am predicting GC by 6 goals this week as Hadden will play his cards close to his chest and time his run into the finals.
Just like Dawe’s playing days, he will struggle to understand the game at this level, especially come September.
Will I be able to count the GC supporters at the ground this week on one hand?

Osama- You have just backed up what i am saying, the older players have in the past collected accolades but who cares about that, they have been finished as quality Agrade players for 3 or 4 seasons
Your biased opinion towards Bain and Pech is the same as the media superstars from your club!!! Ask some neutral people what they think!!!
Sounds like you are making excuses for this week already
We may only have a handful of supporters but 5 of them have more voice and give more support than 100 of your hillbilly inbreds!!!

The 50 may have come from the contact to the head, but i think it was awarded afterwards. I could be wrong. I spoke to the player afterwards and he was trying to spoil. People in marking contests get elbows, fists, forearms, and headbuts all the time not all of them are paid free kicks.

lol Osama im guessing you have lived under a rock for a fair bit of this year...
Hillebrand gwd, he played in the association squad... that puts him in front of a shit load of people...
Molyneux is just a gun who will be an absolute superstar...
You haven't heard of Hewitt... guessing you don't read the barracker that often cos i believe he is coming 3rd maybe 4th in rookie of the year...

[Osama]

Unfortunately you are comparing kids against ready made stars of the competition.
The 'Rookie of the Year' is an absolute meat raffle, although I am sure that young Lochie Hewitt is going to be a very handy player, his influence on the GC side as a whole is minimal.
From memory Hewitt has only featured in you the clubs best players against the two bottom sides twice, one inflicted a 100 point win and the other was a 97 point win, but to be putting him in the same breath as Pech and Bain is a waste of oxygen and at this stage also Moly and possibly Hilebrand.
Im not going to try and stupidly compare our kids against GC stars such as Howard, Scooter and Taylor.
This response in this matter has just wasted 5 minutes of my life that I will never get back....

lol mate i never at one stage in my reply compare them to Bain and Pech...
lol haha oh from memory... so that means you have heard of him... i seem to remember you saying "who the **** is hewitt"... so which one is it... you do or don't no of him...
but im sure when Hillebrand, Moly and Hewitt have played the same amount of years at senior level as Pech and Bain they will be causing a lot more damage...
lol wasted 5 minutes of your life... stop having a cry about it and don't write on here again lol...

anyway my tips this week...
Willaston by 10 goals
Barossa by 15+ goals
Ango by 8 points
Nuri by 15+ goals

Both lots of supporters will naturally try and protect their sides and there seems to be two differing opinions. The fact is that the AFL has made it loud and clear that the head is protected and we are seeing players getting rubbed out whether it be intentional or not. What has happened here is exactly why that rule should be upholded whether the Barossa player was only trying to spoil. The real issue as far as most Freelings supporters are concerned is the reaction of the Barossa crowd.

Wearecoming you are asking for a neutral opinion on Bain & Pech, well both are guns especially young Pech, just a great young fair player. At this stage Ango have the bragging rights over your mob after round 1, so the pressure is on you.

So would it be wrong for me as a supporter to put a carton on Bascombes head if he plays against Willaston in few weeks?

Dawe has an ex AFL player and SANFL assistant coach in his corner so some how i doubt Hadden will know what to do once the tiger goal machine fires up at the dog track this week. All Ango. can hope for come finals time is rain..

centrals will make the grand final this year if Nuri don't win the 2nd semi.. you heard it here first.

[One Eyed]

How is Robbo going at angaston.??

[Shoot it]

WEARECOMING - You have been sampling a bit to much of Grandma's coff medicine.

Pech and Bain are far better than the kids you compared them to, because they have proven it at this level and higher.

The kids you are talking about may be good in the future but runs on the board count for a lot.

Skipper- Im sure if you check your facts we smashed angaston on their own dunghill in round 1
