Though it will be expected to be a good game this upcoming round with Centrals travelling to Freeling to face the Redlegs.
My prediction is that the winner of the match will most probably be minor premiers for 2009.

I'd have to agree Hancock. Centrals certainly took revenge for last year's GF loss against Nuri and Freeling took South down fairly easy. I'd have to say Centrals would come in as favourites.

Yea, a lot of the rounds results took me by surprise because i certainly didn't expect 4 blow outs in my opinion.
I also expected more from the reining premiers Nurioopta and Tanunda.

Should take people's predictions now. What will be the highest score a team kicks against Kapunda this year?
I tip 220 points. Gawler Central or Freeling.

it will not be 200pts

Sure about that Mayhem, this round in the Mid Murray League, Blanchetown/Swan Reach beat Cadell/Morgan 50.30.330 - 0.0.0.
If that's in there A grade comp I'm sure 200 points could easily happen in our league.
Kapunda conceded 27 goals and 200 is about 35 goals.
That was against Barossa and im sure seeing as Centrals destroyed Nurioopta that Kapunda will be in for a flogging when up against Centrals. Not sure about Freelign though, not as a high scoring affair, but yet again it was round one we don't know how good every team is at this stage.

when the Kapunda U/17 only had 14 players, resulting in 7 U/15s you'd expect a big loss. No doubt it will be a tough year, but all players eligible to play 17s play, could be competitive. I don't really see what the mid Murray has to do with it, since Kapunda play in the BLG.

mayhem kapunda will reach new lows in the BLG this year i dont think freeling will be a 30 goal game but GC are in with a chance of a record win.

Ok you have a point, but i'm just saying in can happen, a 175 point lose is only 4 goal and one minor score off 200 points.
I wasn't at the game but how many "easy" shots did Barossa miss?

[Hancock]

And might i add, Barossa did finish second to bottom over Kapunda last season.

Freeling have so many avenues to goal, especially through their midfielders. I think the one thing they'll need to settle is their full back line. Probably their weakest line. It won't be a problem against Kapunda obviously but it will against the likes of GC.

Barossa will finish top four this year. They've barely lost a player. Their only major out is Alex Stone who didn't play last year. Just quietly, Leigh Blucher is eligible still if he decides to play 17's. If he does play, that puts Barossa right in flag contention.

the full back line is as strong as any and we have alot of goal kickers i just dont think freeling are a high scoring team.

I think their last years Best and Fairest winner Aaron McAlpine has gone to seniors aswell.
Did play A grade last year if i recall.

I think its hard to disagree with Quack on this one, Freeling only conceded 2 goal against South and in the last quarter.
My guess is that they either stop working because they had the game one or that they just elapsed a bit towards the end after countless work throughout the other 3 quaters.

You're quite right Hancock. Thanks for pointing that out.

I think that in part also has to do with South lacking a quality key forward with Parsons playing up. Had South been accurate however the game could have been a different story.

Shame that the Bombers are struggling and that Coach Hillard needs to conscript the 15s...

Regardless of the scores they cannot hope but improve with the coaching they are receiving

(you owe me $10 bucks Spud)

[Ruben Carter]

"I wasn't at the game but how many "easy" shots did Barossa miss?" Good point . I heard Kapunda took all their good players off at half time and only had 16 on the field. Barossa aren't that good - if you put a half decent defender on smith and madgen they'd struggle to kick 5 goals between the rest of em

Spot on there, grassroots. The experienced Kim Hillard will teach the lads things that will make them better footballers down the track.

or push them into boundary umpiring Gordon Ramsay style!!!!

I don't know if these Kapunda lads have the ball skills for boundary umpiring.
