HFL Division 1 (Central)

[Vaughan]

So Vaughan, your saying if Bridgewater Do not WIN this weekend against Birdwood (an Ex-Country Division Team) Then Bridgwater will Volunteer to Drop down to the Country Division................

hi sorce
well that won't be happening in a hurry we absolutely smashed the daylights out of birdwood.
they were pathetic. putting in a heartless and insipid effort after qtr time.
for the first time ever have to agree with you informer to say you got ahead of yourself is understatement of the millenium!

and by the way ballhog a 13 goal demolision isn't a bad effort for a team "way out of it's depth in central"
toot toot put the grave digging on hold champ Saturdays win meant more to me than 10 meaningless division 2 flags.
this should put this relegation garbage out the window.
We have turned the corner this will be the launch pad.
Bring on the goats.
V.
Ps congrats to Lynchy on his first of many wins at the helm.

wow, vaughan, for a team consistently spanked for the last 5 years, you really are the least gracious winner i've ever seen... im sure those country div boys will appreciate you calling their flags meaningless. show a little respect.

Good to hear Flash Gordon will not need the knee reco originally thought innevitable- should be back in 4-6. Big Adam Lutjes also back from injury soon. After getting two ambulances called to the game, an Army medivac helicopter, Doctor Gregory House and a priest you could say the two lads are copping a bt of stick- I actually thought they were both dead! I guess the club's top notch player insurance may as well be utilised.....On top of this, it'll be great to see J Mac, Racer Mehta, David Abernethy and new (old) forward sensation Kim (Big Fish) Welsby back in the weeks to come. Great win on the weekend to the devs with a side that is only going to get stronger (barring any more bloody injuries!).

[mechmike]

I think you'll find it is certain that Torrens Valley will come up and the club that finishes bottom in Central division WILL come down to Country division. This was brought up at a recent HFL meeting and no clubs wanted to discuss it so for mine its clear cut. It's good to see the HFL have stated it in this weeks final siren and are sticking to what the rules say.

Both competitions are fixed at 10 teams...... that is the only thing that is certain about the relegation procedure. Assuming TV (or any other team) put in their application in time this year, then a promotion/relegation is possible. The central clubs, however, still have to vote it through at the end of the season. The interesting questions about this ballot to ponder, are:
Is it required to be unanimous vote or majority only?
Are abstentions permitted for it to be carried?
Will it be a secret ballot?

The question to be answered is "what central clubs at the end of the season will be happy to vote 'yes' to relegate say an IB or Lobethal"?
I submit ...that neither would deserve it, and when it comes to the vote, there may be enough clubs that will agree.

On another matter,... what is the best way to ensure that a visiting team does not stay long in the host clubrooms after the game?
....Show the replay of the game just completed. Very bad form Lofty.....not many IB players will make that mistake again.

I think you will find that it was set up for the Senior Colts to watch the replay of their win, and the A & B Grade were on the same tape. I think Ironbank would have bigger things to worry about than a tape of the match playing on the screen in the clubrooms!

Geez lighten up mechmike. Everyone likes to see themselves on the tv

[The Panther]

Would Lobethal now be favourite to go to country div next year, with what was written in the budget on the weekend. I can't see many wins for their lower grades this year - would be a massive fall for a once Hills powerhouse.
Also the way i read the budget is the team being relagated is judged on overall club performance but the team being promoted needs only to finish top 2 in A Grade . I would have thought both promotion and relagation would be jugded on the same criteria. eg. Torrens Valley need to fininsh top 2 on overall club points.
One more thing what if both the top 2 country div sides nominate in a single year , does 2 central teams get relagated.
Maybe time for the league to release a statement in the courier and budget outlining how it all works according to the constitution. not just bits and pieces.

[BALLHOG]

Wow Vaughan Brigdewater premiers in 2010. You peanut you have one good win and all of a sudden you think Bridgy are the best team going around, I don't know if you are aware but it was only Birdwood not really a premiership contender. So Bridgewaters only flag came on country division so next time you see one of those premiership players just ask them if they thought is was a meaningless premiership.

[aceman]

Maybe someone should remind Vaughan that 'one swallow doesn't make a summer'
Perhaps also keep watch on further results and give him a timely reminder for each loss,I'm sure there'll be plenty, as no doubt he'll be on here with his trumpet for each Raiders win.
Stay humble in victory pal, because you give others ammo for every future loss by being cocky!

Although i don't agree with everything V says, i have been, paying some attention to the posts between You, V and toot toot. I was just wondering if you one of the blokes that left the club mid or before last season. If so, you really need to move on. The club has and are better off so i think you should too and the quicker you do the better it will be. If you are not one of those blokes then just i have you mistaken and i appologize.

Ex-players who leave a club then get on here only to bag it are pathetic IMO.

Bridgey have improved and are better for it but there is a long road ahead and still a lot of improving to take place. They will certainly push some top teams and hopefully win a couple of those games. Lynchy is a good coach, from what i've seen, the players respect him and i'm certain they'll get to where they want to be. It certainly wont happen this year but it will happen.

Yeah, c'mon Mechmike! I'm pretty sure Uraidla do that as well. That would have nothing to do with rubbing salt in or anything like that. And if something like that affects you attending an away club's bar after a game, you could be a pretty thirsty boy come end of the season. On your other points re the vote, if there is a vote surely it'd be before season's end otherwise I'd imagine you can pencil in the bottom club voting no straight away.
there are a few disillusioned Maggies fans here, what's the story? Who's been missing? Scoreline sugests a fair spanking on the weekend.

ballhog You have problems buddy! You read what you want to read I think! When did Vaughan say premiers in 2010? When did he say we are the best club going round? I think there's nothing wrong with a bit of passion when we win a game. Especially after you peanuts bag the club including it's juniors everychance you get! Saying our juniors are rubbish when actually the are all un the top four. Get a life mate and worry about your own backyard because it's not our backyard anymore.

Missing players on the weekend were Bartemucci, Lomas, Wagnitz, Dubois, Gallagher, Hein, Colman, Kaeslar and Johnson injured himself in the warm up(although I think he still played for some of the first quarter). All will play this year as far as I know. But thats only as an answer to the question. The reason for the loss has already been explained by Silky Skills.

I think the Bridgewater kids have a real shot this year to get all 3 grades in the finals. I know its only early and Bridgewater will have to take the next step over the next 3 weeks, particularly when they come up against the Roos as the kids at barker are a barrel of depth and tallent. Does Lynchy act as a "club coach" (like Trevor Potts) and have an input with the juniors or stick to the A Grade?

Bartemucci, Gallagher, Kaeslar = big outs
Lomas, Wagnitz (a good player by word of mouth but will still need to prove it) = Moderate outs
Dubois, Hein, Colman and Johnson = Good players but low impact

BP, what is Matt Cooper doing? I heard at the start of the year he was moving to the RMFL but now everyone is saying he'll be in Black and White before season end?

Might add to my statement that Mt Barker are also a very good side. You appear to know more than me about Cooper.

[MONTE CRISTO]

Yeah, come on Mechmike, everyone loves the replays and quite a few clubs do it these days. Its now part of the after match social side of footy. I think you might be a bit sensitive over the loss.

Vaughan - Devils this week and you haven't a hope in hell!!! Your best bet is to pray for another earthquake about 2.30pm on Saturday.

Yeah and when the Barkeroo boys get to ya, it'll be worse than any tsunami plus a force 10 gale.
Bring back big Julian for backup!

Looking at it from the flip-side, if I'd just lost a game, I'd want to have a look at the replay and get some pointers on things to work on and do differently.

The definition of stupidity is to do the same thing over and over again, hoping for a different outcome.
