Nope, organise yourselves AFAIK

Go a Gentlemans agreement with Mitchell Park, pay half each for the video guy and the winner reimburses the other half to the losing club.

Port were $9 against Hawthorn two weeks ago.

No mind games at all - Houghton are about as favourite as favourites can get.

Pretty sure the one and only Mark "Sambo Chips" Sansome will be filming it for us... but I will confirm.

Port are out of the eight and not in a grand final.

As if, there's no stopping the mighty Raiders machine. I did find it bemusing yesterday in the reserves that Houghton being the highest ranked team wore their brown shorts, as they should, but Adelaide Uni wore their black shorts, must have assumed it was just another home game. Arrogance at its best. :D


Yes i can say it was a bit confusing at times with Uni wearing black shorts and black Guernsey. Well done to Houghton in the reserves, showing they are the best B grade team in 7R, on to next week now.

Come on Informer you beat a D grade team in a B grade competition to make the GF. Doesn't matter what grade the team is for their respective clubs.

... and were playing a side not even in the top 2, let alone the pretty much undefeated mighty Houghton Districts.

I'll give you mates rates of $1.06 for you blokes but Mitchell Park stay at $9.50.

I was more commenting on your timing of your post. Correct me if I'm wrong but you could have claimed to be the best B grade team in Div 7R before you won on the weekend considering you played a D grade team?

Good opportunity for some good to come out of a somewhat convoluted Division 7 season with the GF being able to be played at Thebby.

and they're playing an A grade team in the B grade grand final, so no matter the outcome, they're still the best B grade team in D7R! ;) ;) :lol:

Haha I'm not offended, maybe I should have used some of them stupid faces to show I was taking the piss. Since we now know a Div 7R B grade team can beat a Div 7R D grade team the question will be answered after this weekend if a Div 7R B grade team can beat a Div 7R A grade team [emoji12]

We're not undefeated. We lost to Adelaide Uni at Park 10. You just knocked off Adelaide Uni at Park 10 in a very impressive display of football. Our boys all saw what you are capable of and know we'll have to be at our very best to get the win.

Does anyone give our boys a chance against the Pines? It looked like they ran out of legs at Houghton two weeks ago, the wide expanses of Thebby may test them.

Haaa turn it up Q :lol: I think recent finals form is a little bit more accurate than round 10...and I said just about undefeated...please don't make me do a players in and out analysis. ;)

Last week Houghton rolled pretty much the same Adelaide Uni side with consummate ease. They had one goal on the board before you guys put the cue in the rack in the last quarter. We just fell over the line. Not to mention copping injuries up the wazoo after two tough finals encounters and a stack of travel.

Houghton $1.06
Mitchell Park $9.50

... and you know it. Quit trying to play the cliche lines. If Houghton lose this game it would be an boil over of monumental proportions.
