Adelaide Footy League Division 1 - 2017

[The Bedge]

Mental note to both sides, resist the urge to abuse Kernahan/Rowston!

Kernahan even got the legs to run boundary for a whole game?

No coincidence he picked the smallest oval.

We are live calling the A grade game between PNU and Goodwood from 2pm and I am certainly going to be offering plenty of Boundary umpire Kernahan wittacisms. I'm glad I have a few days warning to come up with some of my finest material.

Well done to the bloke I reckon. Do you reckon Shadiac would have ever done something like that. No chance!!!

Adelaide Footy League CEO John Kernahan will play a different role this weekend by putting on an umpire’s uniform and becoming a boundary umpire for the Division 1 Reserves game at Goodwood Oval between Goodwood Saints and Payneham Norwood Union. He will be supported by legendary boundary umpire Darren Wilson, who retired from the AFL last year after umpiring in a record 404 AFL games including 12 AFL Grand Finals from 1998 to 2009. Field umpires for the game will be Adelaide Footy League Umpiring Manager Colin Rowston and Sunday Mail columnist Ben Hook.

What do the Goodwood and PNU lads think of their D1R game being umpired by celebrity umpires?
Sure, it's only the B-grade, and a boundary umpire doesn't really matter, but what's the go with a Sunday Mail columnist getting the main gig in the middle?
As a former player he'll know the rules and have a feel for the game, but still seems a strange move.

Ben Hook used to umpire SANFL Reserves, was a very good field umpire. Would have done League footy if stuck with it. Also umpired the first ten or so Slowdowns. He will be better than most umpires they usually get. And boundary umpires do not matter at that level. Great move!

We always welcome quality at Saints Park.

[Senor Moto Gadili]

Gullies too strong for Princes....12.9 to 7.15. Princes 4 goals to 1 at 1/4 time but all TTG after that.

Wasn't there but reliably informed Goodwood and PNU drew.

Footy Chick, it has us beat, when was our last draw?

As in PNU's? I'd have to do some searching for that reckon....

Pfffffttt, reliably informed. You were listening to the live call on Mixlr. You know it was a draw and a well called draw at that

Looks like it was 2009 - you drew with Uni 2 years in a row 2008/2009

I thought TTG were meant to tumble out down the ladder and out the 5 losing all those key players. Anyone able to verify why they are so good this year. The early season predictions are a fare way off

Gullies have always had really good depth and an incredibly strong junior program/under 18's outfit.. from seeing them round 1 it looked as if they had a number of blokes ready to step up and replace the ones they lost. Losing high profile players doesnt always lead to having a weaker side, theyve managed to retain a very large portion of their juniors including those that have a crack at a league club and then returned..

From the game i saw, they didnt have as strong a B grade this year as they did the last few, so depth may get tested if injuries hit, but then again they have a very solid Div 7 side that would have blokes to step up if needed aswell.

[jo172]

Fantastic depth to cover blokes as influential as Cockshell, Hand and Sandery all departing in the one off-season.

From sports pulse looks like Persinos has been everything they've hoped for. Would also be very handy having Dylan Schoenmakers permanently available.

It was logical to think that TTG might drop off after losing Cockshell, Hand, Sandery, Cochrane, Golding, McWaters, Flynn, Min, Elphick and Gruber. Despite losing these players they aren't far off the same standard as last year....maybe even better. They picked up Persinos and Huggard and they also have Dylan Schoenmakers, Jon Birkin and Ryan Spittle available for the whole season. Their midfield runs deeper than last year and I believe they are a fitter side.

[thegrowler]

I'm going to have a look at them this week, should be awesome game v PNU.

[Trader]

TTG beat PAOC by 4 goals
PAOC beat PNU by 11 goals.

Only possible conclusion is PNU by plenty this week!

Particularly once you factor in PAOC doing PNU at Payneham and TTG doing PAOC at Park 9!

Gullies have been running out games better so will win by 15 points

[Senor Moto Gadili]

TTG 16.13 d PNU 9.6 Game was much closer than scores suggest. Gullies on top early but Payneham midfield led by Donohue got right back in the game, but their efforts told and they were spent come the last quarter.

They seemed pretty even through their playing group last year. Depth has covered the lost players I'm assuming and they've kept some bloody good ones. I'm sort of not surprised as they certainly played some very skillful footy last year, esp. when they fed it out to their fast runners.
