SAAFL Div 6 & 6R (2010)

[Q.]

Morell, were you there on Saturday? I asked a couple of your players to point you out for me, but they didn't know.

[morell]

I was there mate, mostly watching from inside and under the pergola. Left half way through the last. Had to pick up the missus.

Will have to catch you for a lager at Houghton.

[Q.]

Yep sounds good. No doubt we'll have another fiery encounter, both games in 2007 were pretty heated too!

Not sure whats going on at MP but are really struggling

Whilst true, its a reasonably simple answer.

The best football I have seen us play since our solid Div 7 year was against eventual premier Hectorville at Hectorville. we were up by 4 goals at 3/4 quarter time and with a little bit more fitness would have in all likelihood knocked them off.

That team is as follows;

4 Dowsett, Adam - gone back to Happy Valley
24 Eblen, Peter - no idea, but gone
71 Ellingham, Morgan - torn ACL out for year, also secured lucrative male modelling contract
11 Emmerson, Matthew - retired
13 Gelven, Damien - playing
18 Hay, Adam - retired
12 Kulmer, Shane - retired
3 Leck, Joseph - playing
5 Logan, Steven - playing
6 Mahar, Michael - gone back to Happy Valley
16 Marchese, David - army duties
1 Mcdonnell, Luke - playing
9 Mcdonnell, Nathaniel - playing, under duress
15 Newton, Lukas - working Saturdays
14 Potuszynski, Troy - gone back to Happy Valley
21 Rowbottom, Leigh - moved to Victoria
8 Schutte, Ryan - Tailem Bend I think
2 Steele, Bradley - playing, sort of
17 Varnas, Casey - gone back to Happy Valley
20 Viscione, Reno - playing
7 Walsh, Andrew - semi-retired

+ Damien Bates - Murrayville
+ Craig Rivett - retired
+ Chris Rogers - retired

No excuses, we are no match for anyone in D6 at the moment. We need to rebuild under Colin and start again.

Oddly enough I think the club is heading in the right direction and I have the utmost faith in all the people involved in the club being able to turn things around.

I will say that the vast majority of the the players no longer playing for us would have no ill feelings towards the club nor the people involved in it. In fact, I have seen most of them out at the odd home game providing their support.

There is nothing sinister going down at Parkies, just struggling to recruit and hold on to talented footballers. Of which much of the blame could be attributed to our unwarranted "thuggish" reputation.

are you sure you were there on the weekend?? def warranted and you would do alot better without the input of some of your supporters especially the one holding his baby while yelling all sorts of abuse and drinking and smoking, top role model.

At least Mitchel Park took the opportunity to go up a division back in 2008......unlike Henley.....

Although things look bad on the scoreboard now, the exposure to div 6 footy, rather than staying down in div 7, will pay dividends to the players in the long run.

I didn't see too much aggression, although I did hear one of our players got knocked on his bum after a bit of push and shove. #16 was being a bit of a knob and a couple of our blokes acting like school children but other than that I thought the game was played in ok spirits.

I was on the committee that made that decision so I will take all the credit.

In all seriousness it was a tough one for us and we probably lost a couple of players because of it, but in the end we figured a club should aim to play in divisions as high as possible at all times, otherwise, what is the point?

Henley is a little different as its their C Grade and the dynamism that comes with C Grade teams makes it difficult to place how well you're going to go. I was surprised by their decision however.

So who's it gonna be this week, Houghton or Kenilworth?? Kenilworth have never played up at the Raider Fortress, they might be a bit cramped for room compared to the large St Marys oval.

He has to release his pumpedness gradually through the week because he's spectating for the year

Bit of push and shove, the odd wrestle, but at the end of the day both teams shook hands with a grin and hung around for a friendly frothie. I'd forgotten how nice your clubrooms are.
