Should be a huge crowd at the creek tonight as usual for the Anzac game. Dropped my car off at oval last night no surprises seeing plenty of cars around the oval getting a good spot. Creeks would still be favorites to win having Norman, hately and Saunders out last week plus a few others will be fit and ready to go.
Strange thing happened at strath training this week with the creeks a grade coach's son coming out and keen to play, with his dad encouraging it to happen. Bit of a coincidence it happened this week when we play them. So not sure what is going on down there at the monent?

Andddddddddddddddddd? You are obviously in your car. A score.

Sorry yank man creek got up by a goal. Strath were up by 2 goal at qtr time then were behind for most of the game to then hit the lead in the last ten minutes. After a few missed opportunities late for strath creek got the winning goal in the last five minutes. A real good night for footy with a good brand of footy on show and big crowd as usual. Hately won the Anzac medal playing chb for the creek. Creek seem to have dropped away a little bit in depth particularly there last 5 or so players being young kids with not much field time. I'm guessing they still had a few out hill & Rowe to name a few.

Huge win for the Creeks last night. If they lost and went 0 - 3, would've put a serious dent in their chances of their title defence. Agree with kickittome, The bottom 5 for the Creeks are young lads from last years senior colts replacing experienced, seasoned campaigners and are gonna take most of the season to come to terms with the BIG step up in grade. Creeks showed for 3/4 qtrs against Willunga that their best will be good enough come finals time but ensuring they make the top 3 will be 1st priority which will be a tough task for all teams bar Willunga.

Yeah willunga result was a big one!!

[LuvsFooty]

Kept a close eye on pongy today after they caused some near death experiences last week. Saw no behind the play stuff, no bashings, no stabbings. Last week might have been blown up a little bit. Id let my kids play there!

Perrie in the best players again

[Muffler]

Yesterday Witnessed one of the worst umpire performances EVER at the Mclaren and Compass Game.
Didn't impact on the final result I will say too. This young kid umpire who looks 14/15 not sure on age, over umpired and tried to involve himself in the game basically calling free kicks just because he could.
Is there a rule in the GSFL that when a player ducks his head before he is tackled and gets tackled high is it still a free kick for to high???? That is the rule that this particular umpire said was being enforced and the players ask their coaches about it? I'm pretty confident that isn't a rule, nor has it ever been a rule in any game of Footy ever!
I am interested to see what others think if they have had this umpire?
I am all for young kids umpiring too, we need it but it has gotta be done the right way.

Perrie in the best players again

Playing in a super team too. Look to be the best so far and outright flag favourites IMO, particularly with their reserves also undefeated, so they have plenty of depth.

After being very impressed by Willunga last week, I was very surprised to see how well Bays did. What did think BJ?

Dud you see the yank-Victor game Yank-man, I'd appreciate your thoughts as I couldn't get there.

[BJ Ernest]

For us I hope it was just a bad day at the office however...

Bays were very polished. They knew their roles, played them to perfection and were very organised. Perrie rucked magnificently, Wilson, Neely, Horrocks and Taggart played on ball for most of the day and worked hard, won the clearances on the back of Perries ruckwork and were super dangerous up forward with Davis-Neale, Karpany and Welsh. A great team effort by them and thoroughly deserved the win!

Great wake up call for us, after 2 rounds of playing some great football we went away from what we'd done the previous 2 weeks and paid the price for it! Long season ahead and the evenness of the comp shows if you're 5% off your game you will be in some serious trouble!

[field of dreams]

Cheers BJ, good to see you guys aren't going to have it on a platter this year;)

[kickittome]

Great effort by the bays caught everyone by surprise beating willunga. Unbelievable that they won the ressies also would have been a long time since this has happened especially at willunga. "bj" might know that answer. The bays have done well picking up Lynton bishop(ex willunga, strath, bays& morphies a grade coach)as ressies coach, he will be a big help to billy neely on game day.
Bays obviously after sat are the team to beat but still early days with yank & creek starting off the year slowly.

Did the umpire you are talking about umpire your game v strath the previous week also "muffler"? If it is he wasn't too bad but seemed a bit tentative when making hard calls especially 50/50 marking contests in the last qtr. I agree with you that the more young umpires the better, but you just hope they have had a little bit of playing experience themselves or that they don't pay soft free kicks.

Nah wasn't the same umpire for the game against strath. From memory they were pretty good, never really noticed them which is always a positive. Unfortinately most of the frees that were given on the weekend were just a normal contested pack tackle that you see each week and something got pulled out of no where. It really looked as though this particular umpire forgot he was umpiring men and it was like doing a junior game picking up real soft free kicks. Something has to be done, otherwise he will change a game around and leave people very pissed off if it is the same kind of standard of what both teams saw on the weekend.
