Well said Zedman. Bad luck to you and your boys I thought you guys would win. Hope the Grubers and co didn't take it too hard. Good luck up a grade too with your current list and a small top up you guys will no doubt be more than competitive in Div 5.

Have already reached groupie status.

Not sure I am in retirement watching my lad at Prospect. Will do the occasional fill in role though.

King of the kids

Cmon Zartan Fitzroy losing 5/14 isn't out of the question

Gday all I am the coach of the smosh F.C and also the person in questions father, we find ourselves in a bit of a predicament here but he has a meeting on Tuesday night so hopefully they parties can come to some sort of agreement and hopefully my son can come and play footy with me at smosh, I do want to state that my son has to take some responsibility here as he did originally sign to play with blodge, but as soon as was given the job to coach at a higher level he wanted to test himself which I was happy with because I Think he is a bit better than div 5, when I was the coach of lodge in one of the years he requested to go back to E.P to have a crack at div 1 we let him go as it was a great opportunity for him. I can catergorly say his decision to want to play for smosh has nothing to do with coin cause his offer at lodge far out ways what he has been offered at smosh. At the end of the day I hope the right decision is made for the better of both parties..and we can move on with the season just around the corner.every coach in the competition wants the best players available and will do what ever it takes to get them but this holds a bit more for me cause he is me kid..
I'm sure a resolution will be made for both parties to move forward and learn from.

Can't believe it has got to the stage where the father of the young bloke has to get on here and defend what is going on. Surely reading that Brahma can just suck it up and release him without the meeting needing to take place?! :roll:

Not terrible either. Internal trial was very encouraging.
Bit better than Harry49 Agrade cricket side training efforts on the track

1 spot for you to go or gonski ;)
Reckon I might get the same treatment you copped from West Croydon after taking them to a prelim? :D

Actually wouldn't mind being moved on - can go back to enjoying beers on the sideline and being a critical expert of everyone :lol:

And there is the kick in the nuts :lol:

You all already are a critical expert of everyone, don't need beers for that. ;)

Any one interested in digging up the pitch tonight?

And that's why you bowl strike bowlers 1st and not part timers.

I just can't believe the Redbacks threw their chances again. Every time the Redbacks find themselves a chance of taking home some silverwear. Especially when the odds are in favour this time. They always manage to find a way to f&%k things up and lose it themselves. What a embarrassment for SA cricket.

In reality it seems now that we are always only making up numbers. No one remembers who comes second. If you ain't 1st your last.

That's a huge over reaction and typical waiting until the result to sink the boots. We lost in the end yes, but at times were in winning positions too.
I have been a bit harsh on here too, but mostly in jest and truth is making the shield final is an improvement on previous years and the redbacks have some good young cricketers coming through. Disappointing yes, but not the end of the world for SA cricket by a long shot.

Wasn't a fan of climbing up and down all day lol, especially being overweight and lazy haha! Would've stayed at ground level, but it's near on impossible at my short height and the ground incline to see anything around the ground lol.

Just glad I didn't fall off the ladder :lol:

Should have seen me go up and down it! With a fat knee. Chose not to come down 3/4 time of Agrade it was too hard! Fair to say that will be my 1 and only game playing for the Roys. Your curse has been lifted mate too!

Why play silly buggers in rd1?
As Zarts stated there were no silly buggers played.
Only silly buggers I saw were players trying to handball and kick to their team mates from both sides.
Chuck in the deplorable spectacle of watching football at Fitzroy and that just topped off a cracking day's play.
TAB got my money as well.

You no Arch, that idea came from Charlie!!! :D

Geez heaven just took a whole new meaning.

I'm hearing a few incidents have occurred recently at junior level including parents. Gaza v Salisbury U/14s on the weekend after the game and at a Salisbury West V Broadview game recently a lad was found by the umpire to have a spanner in his socks?!! and the game called off with incidents getting out of hand. Hope this trend doesn't continue!
All heard 2nd hand of course so with any luck not accurate.

Tightening up the backline perhaps?
Sounds like there was a few loose nuts

This week it's West Croydon and sampling some of the better Dog rolls around town 8)

Turn right at the lights coming out of Trinity and its in the shops on the left hand side about 500m down the road.
Pies are the best at WC I reckon. Always had one put away for me for after the bgrade.

The only one I feel sorry for here is Morell, because he doesn't have a Cgrade to pluck from. You other blokes suck it up

Giant is Phillips

Hawkers are top at the end of the bye rounds with out really getting out of 1st gear. 4thorn is coming.

Don't do Monday mornings too well mate?

Great tip by the budget this week. Henley by 23
The retards, they couldn't even score 23 points in total. That side right now world struggle in div 3. They must have hell injuries or lost heaps of players because most those blokes yesterday were B graders.

Couldn't believe what I saw at the end of the game a skinny red head SN player, does nothing all day, kicks a set shot goal and runs around like a plane with his arms out. Surely that's a fine from his team mates

Sounds like Ben Wiles to me :lol: Good on him!
That's ok isn't it? I tell my lads I will buy drink to the bloke who celebrates a goal the best....

You lot for real? Its been a winter sport for years and grounds have been like that, worse and better. may as well put a roof over every oval. Unbelievable.

:lol: I was going to say only counts in minor round

Fair call.

Why? we play bad, we get relegated. 2 clubs would go down under any other circumstance and no one should rest on the fact that there were only 9 teams this year.

Sure, it's going to suck to be relegated after all the hard work Charlie and Stevo put in over the years, hell, even poor Bob would be pulling his hair out if he had any trying to get these blokes playing some decent footy - but you gotta take the hand you're dealt.

*disclaimer* - i'm pretty sure i dont' speak for the rest of the club here.
Well Lisa if I was still coaching Hope Valley I would be knocking on the HVFC committee and Saafl doors and demanding we stay in Div 4. I think it's very ordinary that new clubs can apply to affiliate and jump over the top of loyal clubs.Hope valley wouldn't be relegated if para hills played in 2016.Let them start in Div6 where ttg and modbury did and look where they are now.They should do the hard yards like we did at hope valley to climb the grades not be given a gold pass

If you stick Brighton in D6 you're handing them about 3 gold passes in the way of easy premierships.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't...

Agree with TT. Brighton would still have to go and win and earn their spot in Div3. Not necessarily a gold pass to 3 flags because anything can happen over a 3 year period, even in 1 year. Ask Rosewater.

Bit different to the old days now isn't it?! I remember playing u/9s at Wingfield when it was freezing and we were given a shot of port out of a hip flask at quarter time to warm us up!!
I don't condone that at all by the way, and agree with Zartan.

well done to Paul and the IFFC..good continuity and stability..what about the rotund B grade coach? ;)
Clubs wanted to lock in the A grade coach at this stage, the B and C grade positions remain open for next season at this point in time, and the club will address both roles at the conclusion of the season.

If this was the AFL that would mean gonski ;)

No games at Kilburn and there won't be.

Did PAOC request that too?

Pooraka were already on a warning weren't they? Don't think WC were.

Oh its tough.

I don't think players testimony should be considered in that situation. Otherwise it's too easy to write a scathing email and send it off to sink a player that you've got beef with.
Prob didn't help that McBride looks like Hulk on Roids :lol: try convincing someone whose never seen him that he's really a gentle lad :lol: And that was a huge reason behind why we didn't take it further. One look at him and you'd think he was a bikie or something. There is no way a tribunal would've ruled in his favour vs a sweet innocent 21 year old Adelaide Lutheran boy.

Unfortunately for Hulky he is such a strong dude that he gets caught in these situations where with anyone else it would be a nothing incident, but with him its magnified. He coat-hangered a West Croyden dude, completely accidentally, just got side stepped but because of the size differential it was an instant yellow card. He got another yellow for what was just a great bump, but it looked awful because of his size. We even saw it a lot in terms of free kicks where a ruckman would be all over him, he pushes back a little and they end up in the trees. Whistle and free kick against.

He's like a real life version of the Big Friendly Giant.

Having said all that, just don't call him a steroid user. He nearly popped a Fitzroy guys head like the Mountain vs Oberyn Martell for saying that.
Oh did he? I didn't hear of that one. To be honest I had my lad Benny ruck against Hulk all day at your ground and he come off saying he is a good bloke to play against, plays fair and is respectful after the game.

Congratulations Woody South, deserved winners in both grades...

Commiseration to West Croydon as well, they're a strong footy club, sure they will bounce back.

But honestly, BoG today was...

F.Chick

HA! Thanks for your help today Morell, you're a legend.

What a day! We were worried that the ressies game was going to be called off there for a while, after Leigh Bottrell was sent to hospital with what could've been possible neck/back fracture. I really hope his injuries aren't as serious as that. If someone could update us on his progress, it'd be much appreciated.

A tiring but great day, good and well behaved crowd.

Congrats to the Cats - it was your day.

I really feel for Matty McPherson and the WC boys though, losing their first game of the year in the one that mattered most.

I'll just leave you all with this - wishful thinking in it's finest form ;)

Leafy Bottrell spent the night in hospital with fractured chest plate and a dislocated collarbone. No neck or back issues luckily! Is a good lad and hoping for a speedy recovery.

Yeah, Q, despite Bourke & Co shopping themselves around with a significant asking price, they decided to settle at Fitzroy for nothing out of love for the club and the game..

Wrong club.

Hawkers is in.

So someone speaks to the Greenacres coach and he is upbeat and positive and is confident they will get the numbers, but on here instead of getting behind that it gets dismissed by everyone who isn't involved at the club. No one would know better than where they are at than their coach imo.

Close to 30 on the track there last night.
