smithfields supporters havent changed over the years

That's funny...we've never had a problem with them....

Nothing about a great win by the Rosie boys???

possibily the worst ground in australia to play on! condition of the oval is a disgrace! and footy should not b played on it till something is done. i'm sure it's not the clubs fault, so the council need to get there shit together. only a matter of time before someone gets seriously hurt out there...

What a country to live in , great day at argana park weather , ground and footy all superb .Good day for the beff with 3 wins and all games played in a good spirit . In the main game elizabeth put together an 8 goal to 2 last quarter to take the chocolates .Was impressed with heccies even thou they faded , their run , pressure and tackling was superb but they couldnt counteract some excellent centre clearance work in the last quarter ,but they will be around the mark come finals for sure .

Yeah we were extremely disappointed to not come away with a win after being 2 goals up at 3 qtr time. After being held for most of the day, B Halliday dominated the centre in the last and gave Eliz mids everything on a platter and our boys just seemed to switch off.
Could have been 4-0 and clear on top!
Ah well, well done Eliz. 3 good wins and a good day all round.

Also have to mention how BAD the umpires were in the main game yesterday. Didn't favour either side, but were just terrible. I'm sure the Eliz boys would agree! Consistently making shocking decisions! Mr Lewis needs to stick to his day job!!!

Scrappy win for AL today at Nth Haven, but any win out there is a good one!
Windy conditions as always and we had 2 good quarters with it, and backline held us together against it.
Good effort by NH boys, had a real crack, good luck for the rest of the year.

Cheers mate well played AL, the fast start in the first quarter was probably the differance for you guys. Another dissapointing loss, meaning were now 0 and 4 and facing up against the Blodge this week is doesn't get any easier for us. Just gotta get out to training on tuesday and thursday do the right thing one the track and go into next weeks game and give another crack.

BOG yesterday had to be Rowan Miegel the guy is a gun and rightfully dominated yesterday kicking 4 goals and taking a truckload of marks. Interesting to see he didn't really ruck and played at Centre Half Forward for most of the game and ran a muck, we just didn't have an answer for him. I reckon he he stays fit and plays for Lutheran all year he'll be right up there for the D5 medal.

Also Catch don't know if it's true or not but was told yesterday that you get nearly 100 blokes out to training and 30 blokes miss out each week. Is this true and if it is couldn't you guys have a D grade?

Smithfield A grade won by 3 goals today over the Lodge.

Wow that's unexpected, well done Smithfield

Well done Rosewater in an upset win. Yep told you it was bad and somthing needs to be done, but there's no point going to the council cause their to lazy to do anything about it. Good old Port Adelaide-Enfield Council

Yeah apparently 20+ missed out for this game.
Not enough for D grade because we will get injuries/unavailabilities soon and this large number will drop.
Training has 70+ usually, obviously provides good depth, which is great with our B and C grade playing good footy and putting pressure on the seniors..

What a country to live in , great day at argana park weather , ground and footy all superb .Good day for the beff with 3 wins and all games played in a good spirit . In the main game elizabeth put together an 8 goal to 2 last quarter to take the chocolates .Was impressed with heccies even thou they faded , their run , pressure and tackling was superb but they couldnt counteract some excellent centre clearance work in the last quarter ,but they will be around the mark come finals for sure .

I thought we had you guys coming into the last quarter coming in with the momentum, having the extra day recovery and from my opinion we are a fitter team than elizabeth. To your credit, elizabeth dominated from the middle and played direct footy. Was always going to be hard to stop Halliday without our first choice ruckmen playing. Argana Park is a great venue to play at. Good surface, changerooms and atmosphere. Look forward to the rematch.

Smithfield A grade won by 3 goals today over the Lodge. Ran hard and tackled well, Michael Taylor was for me the difference, played very well up forward. Joss got plenty of it with quality disposals, also a good battle in the ruck.

Lodge B grade won by 15ish goals, after 3 quarters of average footy. LM, well umpired today in the B's, was great to have a game not ruined by umpires.

Cheers mate, made some errors, it makes it easier when both umps are on the same wavelength, I think all of the umpires I've seen this year have been good.

[Lightning McQueen]

The week I jump on the Smithfield train they get up in probably the most doubtful game. LM do you a good deal.....You give me inside knowledge about Smithfield and i'll give you inside knowledge of our horse Atlantic Air which has won me well over 2k in the last 6 months!! Fair dinkum

Jumping on the Smithfield train? You picked the Lodge mate.

Just a question the league has Plympton 3-1 but i believe that they have lost 2 games this season round 1 to Elizabeth and yeaterday to Rosewater. On the SAAFL it has Elizabeth no score against the Dogs. What happened there is that a mistake or did elizabeth lose that game

They played an unregistered player so they lost their points for that game.

I think the standard of umpiring was good in the B grade, umpires will make mistakes just as players will do the same. Consistency is what we ask for and with both umpires on the same wavelength it makes it easier to get that.

Awesome day at North Haven Football club yesterday. They have taken the standard of catering to a whole new level..no Kranskys but Home Made Curry and Rice for $10...canteen staff wearing chefs hats and I challenge you to find a bigger range of beers in the amateur league anywhere...

A tribute to Chef Pauline and all concerned...

I quite understand why the visitors rooms need to be dramatically reduced and only one light provided to ensure that the Master Chef gets all the power she needs

Not pulling the preverbial....an enjoyable day and fantastic club

Where's Jeff the trainer and Hotdog Beryl these days??

[boozehound]

Quiet from the Brahma boys so far...they are normally all over this thread by now....

[Demon Juke]

Speaking to a guy from Blackfriars yesterday, can't believe they had to pay $200 to play at Thebarton and they don't get any of the proceeds from bar/canteen. Its a double blow when you don't have a home game and you have to pay to play at Thebarton!!
