Adelaide Footy League Division 6 - 2017

[Arch44]

Well this will keep the the day interesting.

[Q.]

No, you weren't.

Yes, i was

Brayzy and I chatted not long after the season finished and he stated his commitment then. He helped me conduct end of season interviews with players and I consulted him on the coaching appointment.

The leadership group appointments were entirely Brenton's decision.

[adr107]

Am I disappointed? Yep. Infact that really doesn't cover it.

Is our club going backwards? In my opinion no.

What our club is doing is focusing on the really exciting prospect of playing footy this week. A really young list, some exciting debutants and a coaching group who we have every bit of faith in.

Well done to our coaches and particularly our new captain, Nathan Hall on a really productive, honest and open night where we outlined what we want to achieve this year.

It's a great club that a lot of people care so much about and thats where our focus is. Bring on round 1.

Incorrect.

I haven't known Brenton for that long. But from what I have seen and heard from him. He's a good bloke. He's passionate. He's hungry for success and wants to see Houghton FC push for finals success.

They'll have three sides this season, just a perfect storm this weekend with unavailabilities.

Elizabeth vs Trinity
Should see some real improvement with Elizabeth this season. They were competitive in div5 last year just looked to lack a little top end talent. With natural progression in their young squad plus a couple of handy pick ups they will be looking to play finals this year and anything less would be disappointing. Trinity seem like they could really fall away after a number of quality players have moved on. Last season had Trinity floating in the middle of the table and this year isn't looking any easier.
Elizabeth by 10+

Brahma Lodge vs Ingle Farm
Both of these teams will see themselves as premiership contenders. BL have lost a couple of seriously good footballers but they were well drilled last year and are always hard to beat at home. The obvious question is where are the goals going to come from? This creates doubt both for them but also the opposition now and could prove to be a blessing. Ingle Farm have been building for a few years now and are coached very well. They would be looking to get out of div6 and into div5 after a could of steady years. Expecting Farmers to play the full ground presd this season and with the mix of young and experienced they are a real chance of taking it out this year.
Ingle Farm by 3 goals

West Croydon vs Salisbury West
Probably the 2 clubs with the most unknown this year. Have heard WC have lost a few and might be in a little trouble but then the next person tells you they are looking really sharp. They play their home ground extremely well and if they have manged to keep last years group together they will be there come the pointy end of the season. Much the same with Salisbury West players coming and going and this weekends match will give everyone a good idea to where both teams sit. Salisbury have a brilliant midfield and if they are left to run free without much attention they should prove the difference.
Salisbury West by 6 goals

Fitzroy vs Pulteney
The amount of ins for one preseason is incredible. That alone sees Fitzroy improve on last year. The big couple of ins from Glenunga are well known but its going to be the next tier of players that will see Fitzroy make the jump up the ladder. Speaking with people at the club they are expecting big things this year and anything other than a promotion will be considered a failure. Pulteney have battled the last few years but it has been its inconsistency which has cost it. On their day they have beaten the top sides but then get bettled the following week. Going to be interesting to see how they cover the loss of Aish and Barras but they look to have picked up a couple in the clearances.
Pulteney under 10pts

Mawson Lakes vs Houghton
ML have been disappointing the last couple of years. I really expected them to go through the grades but they have stagnated. This year is make our break they could easily play finals with the talent they have but is the desire to improve their. Im expecting this game to be a real arm wrestle as I'm not sure where the goals with come from. Houghton have been rocked in the last 24 hrs with the A grade captain requesting a clearance. They might be looking to get through the first 2 weeks without any further damage and see their season start from round 3. They have always been hard to beat in the valley and have a significant home ground advantage.
ML by 4 goals

Can confirm what Pag has said. A popular member of the playing group having a wedding at an unpopular time of the year has crippled the A grade

[Robb_Stark]

Ingle Farm and mawson lakes wont win

I think his legacy at the club is well and truly safe. Funnily enough his brother had his wedding in round 1 last year and they both had to miss.. Maybe its a family thing to have to around this time?

Makes it even worse if he is a club legend. He should know better

Last 2 weeks were cricket finals, plus the fixture dates weren't out when the wedding was being planned.. You do it last week and 4 blokes miss a potential cricket GF.. Still have 17 weeks left in the season after this one to make amends. Life will go on
