Rumors still circulating tee times may be as early as 8am to fit in with prime time US TV slots.

yep was thinking that would be the case, they are extremely keen to get this to be a good TV product, 8am tee off would mean its all over by 12.30pm

Still saying 12.15 to 12.30 tee off every afternoon at the Club. Hoping thats the case!

I guess that would still be OK time into the West Coast of the States

Volunteer's been told afternoon tee off, so assume that be the case still

Advertiser reporting the State game vs Western Australia will be played on a Friday at 3 pm (curtain raiser to AFL match) :shock:

Seriously, that is a joke. Who will be there to watch, be lucky to be 100 people.

Play it stand alone on Saturday at the Bay, even 2k there be good atmosphere. Or just get rid of the game altogether :evil:

Game on tomorrow at Woodville Oval. I'm hearing some interesting "Ins' for both teams.
Also hearing that it wouldn't be a surprise if the 2 divisions doesn't go ahead next season as there could be some legal action being taken by 1 or 2 clubs??
Funny if it doesn't and some clubs have spent a bucket load of money this year :shock:

Valente still be happy with his $25k though :D

Angry Bull, I totally agree with everything you said above. That was exactly what all the Clubs were told by the SACA board people who came around at the start of the season with their meetings. Players will not be disadvantaged with selection if playing Div 2. The big boss of SACA Charlie Hodgson is from UK and behind this proposal and was adamant they don’t want players moving Clubs. Can’t see Thomas Kelly or Matthias leaving as they are Sturt juniors from way back. Can see any players moving from interstate to try and make it here though going to a club in Div 1.

B Grade Glenelg made 177 and Uni are 2/23. Evenly poised but Bays have good bowling line up so back them in to get home just.

No play yet at Kensington, surprise surprise…

Hearing they are aiming to start at 12.30 with 80 overs available. Any time lost with rain from now on reduces those overs. Gives WT at least a chance if rain stays away till late arvo.

How woeful is “The Bounce”? Not as funny as it used to be unfortunately. I wish the 'Dribble File' was still a segment.
I hadn’t watched it for a few years, Spud held it together, none of them I find funny

Andrew Gaze is hilarious, he makes the show. Fast forward thru all Cameron Mooney and Ben Dixon.

mighty_tiger_79 wrote:any news on tee times for LIV?

Friday and Saturday shotgun start at 11.45.

Sunday is at 11.33.

The Chase Koepka Hole in One on the Party Hole was epic. The noise just went throughout the course. That vision will be shown all around the world for a long time. Was an amazing four days!

Brodlach wrote:Great speech Darcy Moore!!

Just played a game of hard footy then come out with that.

Absolutely, spot on. Was the best speech heard any player make (Nick Daicos spoke well too). Was all directed towards the occasion and the Anzacs and their families, sensational really!

FFS Bonner - how do you miss that sitter, playing a team who don’t give up scores over 70, you have to take every opportunity you are given , they have missed a few easy ones tonight (yes, I did tip Port!).

Port getting screwed over by the umpiring tonight!

Considering the WAFL named a 34-man squad prior to ANZAC Day, and we've only named a squad 11 days out, it's fair to say the WAFL are taking this more seriously at the moment.

How many training sessions are the SA team going to be having together? 3? 4?

Will have the same trainings they always have, and always get the win.

Said this couple of months ago, but what a ridiculous time to play the game, around 3pm on a Friday at Adelaide Oval with nobody watching. Will really inspire the players, what a disgrace!

Fair to say those 7% not happy may not be happy when they roll up sat morning for the comp after Booney and co have been through it[emoji1787]

As a member, am way more worried about this than what the spectators at LIV did on the side of Fairways. people who have never played before should stick to Glanville!!

East Course, 10.02 - will be on the look out!

this Hawks racism saga needs to be finalised once and for all for everyones sake.
For a guy like Clarko to be affected like this goes to show the affect it is having on people.

Also people will speculate is the stress caused by guilt, or innocence being accused?

Not great for all involved. Been handled terribly. Will be lots of law suits after this is all over, can see it now :shock:

10,000?? i wish, crowds at sanfl games are slowly dwindling, i fear for our comp when olld coots like me fall off the perch

Agree, that's where charging $20 to get into an SANFL game is ludicrous. I know many people who would go to a game here and there, big game like Sturt vs Bays for example, but no way would pay that much, should be $10. Would make a killing over the bar and food, just plain stupid!

mighty_tiger_79 wrote:The afternoon hitters on Thursday had an advantage with the weather.

Why LIV is much fairer

Half time of Game 2 Miami 54 Boston 50.

Boston doing Boston things. Dominated early in 2nd quarter to get 12 up, then Miami go on 19-2 run. Just can’t keep switching on and off as they please against the best teams

TDK, think your downfall might be listening to Armchair Expert, not giving you all the games, Gold Coast vs Crows the 7th match

Jonas playing in the SANFL and it's not because he's returning from injury, purely on form.

Chad Cornes basically said this would happen at the press conference he did yesterday. Said nobody in the back lines deserved to be dropped for Jonas. Jonas looks shot as an AFL player, just too slow these days. Good on the club for making tough call.

whybother wrote:A close game is always entertaining

Hence the last quarter was. But as Booney said the first three quarters were the worse football you could have seen for years, was awful to watch. How many balls went out on the full that the wind got hold off, must have been close to 20

tigerpie wrote:We all know contracts mean f**k all these days.
If he wants out in 2 years and Adelaide get a decent deal he's gone like last week's pay.

Or they lose all form and become like Matt Crouch, nobody wants them and the last two years of deal they are the highest paid player in the SANFL

Crowd figure? Looked pretty sparse

2300.

Boyd too strong in the middle, Visentini did his best to break even with him but Boyd controlled the air in the midfield. When Norwood exited the back half he marked it, when Port exited the back half he brought it to ground.

McLean and Surman made the most of their chances, Robinson looks like a massive flog, Seymour was too smart at half back and Rohkar, Hamilton and Nunn only had Mead to worry about in the middle as our young group couldn't match the stronger bodies.

Agree re Robinson, for someone that has played less than 10 games and done bugger all, he carries on like a tool :shock:

AFL Hall of Fame:

Sam Mitchell
Tom Leahy
Jimmy Bartel

Graham Cornes be pretty pleased with himself as member of the selection panel, plenty of SA representative for once

So 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th all lost this week

Should just hand the premiership to Glenelg now. Would be the biggest choke since they went the Minor Round 18-0 and didn’t get the chocolates!

Proposed draw for 2023/24 floating around. Pencilled in Grand Final of 20/20 at Adelaide Oval on NYE before the Strikers. Hope this goes ahead and the killjoys don't stop it from happening as this is one of the best ideas SACA have had to promote Grade Cricket for a decade!

Root and Stokes both caught down leg side, absolute bonus

If we lose this Test, then Green has to replace Murphy, no point playing him if not going to bowl him, can just bowl Head when needed. God help our over rate though

I can't believe I have to say this, but he targets a player way off the ball who is not even looking at him. Dog act and deserves 2 weeks.
have you actually watched it? It was a side on bump. Hardly a dog act

Please stop, you are losing credibility by every post..... :shock:

MW is spot on, not acceptable at all what Rampe did!

What's up with Pat Cummins....never seen him so inconsistent, he's best has been brilliant but also never seen him bowl so much down leg.

Bazball getting to him? Pressure of the captaincy in a tough series??

He is the only pace bowler to play the Test Match Final and all four Ashes Tests. He needed to be rested for one like all the other bowlers. That's the problem with having a bowler as captain and him wanting to play every match. Now he looks absolutely stuffed and is basically useless, and to top it off he is a very average captain. Weather holds out just a bit over Day 4/5 then we are losing the Ashes 3-2 for sure :evil:

Ross Lyon you owe me a Chicken Parma you dead set piece of shit.

If St.Kilda make finals, then either Geelong or Bulldogs are going to get a very easy elimination final, then that winner would get a Port after a brutal loss probably.

Harman cruises home by 6 strokes.

Great to see Jason Day tie for 2nd, certainly having a much better 2023 than the last few years.

Warren Tredrea in court today suing Channel 9 for $5.7 mil :shock:

Had to laugh at them having a go at the "high stumble rate" he had reading the Sport.

We had bets every night how many muck ups he would have, was very comical. Think the highest was 17, never under 5. He was just terrible!

Not tonight. Richmond “managing” Dusty was key signal

Australia get the job done 2-0. Was not looking good early as Denmark were all over us. Did not play great but fairly convincing in the end. Got little bit of game time into Sam Kerr at the end also which was a bonus. Onto France or Morocco in the Quarter Finals now, think making the Semis when you host the World Cup would be the expectation.

Are they resting players or just being outplayed?

Did read they had rested players as have top 2 spot sewn up, bit like Collingwood.

And their opponent was on a role with several wins in a row.

Fingers crossed that is all it is!!

Looks a good side, no complaints here. Marshall and English would have been hard to split.

Think the team is absolutely spot on. Can’t argue with any selections really.

Maybe the Bont captain, but they always seem to pick a random captain, no issue with Greene getting it.

Agree Marshall and Blakey the unlucky ones, maybe Larkey kicking nine in the last round got him in just ahead.

Then Booney’s mate Viney comes in and starts all in brawl. Both Viney and Maynard be amongst the top five in most hated opposition players, but their own supporters absolutely love them.

Bizarre, isn’t it :shock: Melbourne and Sydney both looked terrible going forward, then change their whole game style in last quarter and nearly pinch the game. Play like that the whole game FFS :evil:

In hindsight, the Melbourne move hasn't worked out for Grundy. A bit harsh though to characterise it solely as choosing his 'life away from footy over his actual job of playing footy' IMO.

He needed a change.

But 98% of the football world thought Melbourne was the absolute wrong choice of Club. This has been proven spot on.

Lehmann won the toss and elected to bowl.
Redbacks 11-
Hunt
Fraser-McGuirk
Drew
McSweeney
Lehmann
Nielsen
Manenti
McAndrew
Agar
Thornton
Doggett

Left out Conway, Buckingham, Carder.

Always worry when Harry at No.6, going in with 5 batters only is a worry. Rely on all rounders like Manenti and McAndrew who can still be hit and miss. Another season of disappointment about to begin :D

DOC wrote:Which is way too slow. Batting for himself like Hunt.

Bit harsh. Steve Smith did run a ball centuries for years for Australia at No.3. Agree Hunt was way too slow. McSweeney similar style to Drew. Difference was we don’t have an Ashton Turner type to score 80 off 40 balls.

Brilliant run, last on the turn and blows them away. Will be favourite now to win back to back Melbourne Cups.

Yesterday the boundary on one side was 55 metres and 75 metres the longer side. He was clearing the boundary by 30 metres though so would have been sixes on most ovals!
