SAAFL Div 5 & 5R (2010)

How did the Brahma Lodge / Two Wells trial go tonight?

Two Wells got up by about 2 goals, both teams started scrappy but as the game started to open up both sides showed plenty of run. Good tough hit out for both of the clubs involved.

Edit: Game ended up on a bit of a downer with Jacob Hart (Two Wells) going down with a knee injury, i was told all he heard was a "crack and a snap" so not good news at all.

2 goals groover?. stats show it was a 6 goal win..nonthless good hit out by the teams looking forward to the grand final rematch next with mallala. good luck to all teams in div 5!

Did Travis Uren play for Two Wells or is he on his way to ingle Farm?

It's an interesting situation as he signed a contract 2-3 weeks ago for two wells. I'd suspect the first clearence will be refused and then talks will follow

How did the Brahma Lodge / Two Wells trial go tonight?

seems to me that brahma just blazed away coming out of the back line kicking to 2 on 1s and 3 on 1s.

yeh i thought the prsseure put on brahma was fantastic by the roosters resulting in rushed kicks.

Geoff 'Buckets' Lawson is our B grade coach DJ. He'll take over for the time being and is a chance of getting the job, but I reckon the club will look at other options and advertise for a new coach to step in. If we do get a new coach it has to be a North Haven person or someone that knows the club and the people in it because we cannot have an outsider come and take the job, last year showed that it wouldn't work and in a short amount of time it's going to be even harder. As I said we'll find out more over the next week.

TDK, that may be one of the reasons you guys struggle if everyone down there has the same attitude. If someone from outside is considered good enough to do the job well, then why preclude them because "there not a NH person"?
Clubs can only progress with new ideas, just because last season's coach didn't work, why close the book on an outsider? Maybe the selection committee need to take some of the blame for making the wrong choice or if you only had one applicant, you have to ask the question, "why"!

I just want the club to make the right call. Last year was so hard on everyone, so we must move forward and not go back there ever again. If we get a coach that knows the club well it will be so much better for everyone at the club both on and off the field.

A new broom sweeps clean they say. Outsiders bring in fresh ideas, fresh culture, fresh drills, etc. I'm a huge advocate for always bringing in outsiders to coach because (if you pick the right guy) even if you don't get success you should get a different view of things than what you previously had.

[Jabber]

Fair assesment mate of the dogs mate and good call on picking them premiers but ill go one step further and predict that they will go through the year undefeated their recruits are top shelf and now they have an abundance of depth as well that should get tongues wagging

great write up d5 expert...
one week at a time fido..... looking a bit far ahead me thinks....

Woodubelieve you must be a coach youv e got every cliche in the book, this site is about giving opinions and I gave mine if im wrong big deal I would rather get people talking on here than using the "one week at a time" line its all a bit of fun at the end of the day!

I have heard the plympton dogs have picked up quite a few boys. Dion Hibberd(how mant times does he want to go back to Plympton) but the boy can play, div 5 prob will kick 100 goals. Russell Veenvliet another good player but if the team starts losing will just give up and do his own thing. Vanderhaak from PHOS apparently a gun but doesnt like working hard very handy though. Daniel Roach from all reports is gona tear it up in div 5. From reports Jim Smith Mark Mousley Tony Raneberg are all overseas and not in the best shape. I heard the beer looks much better than a football.
There hasnt been as much talk of a premiership from the boys out at plympton as last year they talked themselves up only to crumble in the prelim again.They did say they were going to be undefated and by 2012 be in div 2
They have also lost a couple of players ie Daniel Bartlett

Can you point me to the post that suggested that we'd go undefeated and be in div2 by 2012 please, because i don't remember reading it. (it may well have been said, but i don't remember it)

You can just copy and paste it in here if you like so i can have a read of it.

I'd also like to read where we 'talked ourselves up' so much.

I reckon there are only about 3 or 4 plympton people that regularly post on here, and apart from wudublv12 the rest of us are pretty level headed about things.

The chest beating, tyre pumping, trumpet tooting, self promoters have without doubt been elizabeth this year, and brahma lodge's now famous 'we would beat a div 1 ressies side' last year, where they became so obsessed with beating a div1res side they forgot to beat a div6 side whenit mattered.

[One Eyed]

i think one of the biggest benefits with bringing an outsider to the club is the new players that come with the coach. obviously with one week before season starts its going to be hard to do that.

At the end of the day lads, none of this crap matters!
Anyone can say what they want about their team on the computer, it wont change the results on Saturday.
We'll know who the top teams will be in 10 or 11 weeks, whenever everyone has played eachother once... be patient

Plympton

The Red Dogs. Everyone knows they have choked and played three preliminary finals in a row so we won’t go into that too much. For mine, I actually don’t think they choked, but were just simply only the third best side in the comp in each of those years. Personally, this side has been missing one vital ingredient the last three seasons which is a vital match winner. Everyone loves big Jimmy Smith, and rightly so as he is a gun and they have Ryan Muir controlling the back line, but these guys aren’t proven gun game changing on-ballers. Their midfield has not been elite and they have suffered for it, as when the going gets tough, no-one stands up and takes the game by the scruff of the neck. There is no doubt they are a very good even football team, but that isn’t always enough in big finals. Despite this, the red dogs deserve the tag of premiership favourite, as talk has trickled from down south that they have quietly recruited well, and if one of those recruits includes just one gun onballer, that will be the ingredient needed to finally get out of this division.

Last Season: Preliminary Final (Westminster)

2010 Predicted Finish: Premier

i agree. it was the key part in there grand final loss last year. put pressure on there back 6 when the ball is back there and brahma will panic. could be the key behind defeating the lodge

How are Valleys going to go this year? Were toting themselves as finals contenders last year, but finished out of top 5 and trial form this year has been less than impressive. Sure Charlie would not be happy with his charges efforts so far.

[TIRED TIGER]

granted our trial form wasnt that great, however were very undermanned vs houghton, did what we had to do against ingle farm even tho goalkicking was poor. thought we were a lot better against lockleys and played more to the style of footy we are trying to achieve.only won by 3 goals but had 13 more scoring shots, so had plenty of the leather. saturdays team will look nothing like the trial teams and with a few late pickups would expect to be competitive again in 2010. so in answer i think charlie is fairly happy where things sit at the moment, only time will tell tho.PS yes we were hoping to play finals last year and only the last minor round loss stopped us from doing that

Thanks zeds, your always handy to have around.

So you want me to find you an example, but your not letting me use about 20 examples that you have typed?

You are a dead set moron mate. Read my signature. talk about ridiculous statements urs was a doosy! How can any comment from me represent the whole club?? Pfft. Withdraw ur comment mate, save some egg on ur face

Thats the thing i'm trying to highlight Jabber, the right guy needs to be picked for the job and it's a big decision for the club to get the right guy and the one who fits into the position best. It's all good to have an outsider come in but they need to fit into the position well enough so we be competitive this season and not have a repeat of last season.

Nothing is withdrawn.

A disclaimer on the bottom of a post does not give u exception from being quizzed about your posts. I don't "represent" the Plympton Football Club, but i'll answer any question on here within reason regarding my opinion which i willingly post on here for all to see.

If your not happy for someone to criteque your posts, don't post. But don't go out and say elizabeth will be premiers, oh but my views arent that of the club so i've got immunity from copping a bit for my opinions.

thats all i'll say on the matter, by request of FC.

by the way:
Plympton will win the flag, go through undefeated, hibberd will kick 120 goals, we'll win every game by at least 10 goals, and go back to back next year in div4.

**Note: These are not the thoughts of the club, so apparently i'm allowed to say it, and not cop anything about it. Cheers.

You would want to win a few close ones wouldnt you?
