Laurie and Hardie to provide the 1/2 time entertainment during the season. I am on my way out right now.

I made the trek to snake county, but I had to leave at 1/2 time. So here is what I remember from my original post. Picket Fence may want to look away now. (unless someone can confirm he kicked 6) Remember up it's only til 1/2 time. Casey was 20 points in front, It was a even contest up until that point. Casey were slowing getting the upper hand. What I did like was Casey was looking for a team mate in a better position, with handballs to a running player. Our Mids were very good. Campbell looked in good in the ruck and around the ground. (If only he was 4 yrs younger) I am not sure how good Sandy are, they are usually hard to beat, being my old stomping ground and playing in a GF at Beach oval (juniors) I kinda have a soft spot for them. Spargs was killing it til 1/2 time. Jefferson took a strong overhead mark on the 50 mtr mark, on a lead. Missed slightly to the left. (point) From what I seem from last year, he still has thin arms and needs to bulk up around the shoulders. From there he didn't have much impact. He had a few more chances to mark in a pack and couldn't hold the marks. I will add I hoped we would recruit him, but he needs to step up or he'll be struggling. Culley kicked a good goal from a set shot just on the 50 mtr mark. Henderson kicked a good goal, under pressure, got through some heavy traffic, and from 40 mtrs it never looked like missing. Roy "boy" George surprised me, I had only seen him on TV, but he is a solid unit. He laid some good tackles to lock the ball in the forward line. (One to watch for sure) Sestan was playing well, he has improved and needs to keep improving. Mentha was solid down back, from I was since read he continued to play well. TMAC made a fatal skill error, in the 1st qtr. He had a team mate in the clear, missed him by foot by about 10 mtrs, Sandy swooped and kicked a goal. After that TMAC held his own down back. From the short time I had, it's looks like Casey will be a lot better this year. I did miss a few plays cause I had to revert to the team sheet for who was who. I did predict a 8 goal win if they didn't rest players or start to shift players to different positions. I thought that at the time because Casey started to share the ball around and Sandy were struggling to match them.

Fair go! Who do you think I am champion data? Let think back to what I wrote that disappeared into the internet black hole, I did post it 8 hrs ago so lets see how I go.

I can confirm all those statements. Due to a posting hitch my match report went awol.

Nailed it. Neitz got his 1st senior game in 1993. At 18yrs old, in only his 6th Game, kicked 6gls 6 bhs against Richmond. With a forward line consisting of Lyon, Schwarz,Bennett,Jakovich and Martin. (not all available at the same time,due to injury). In his 2nd year he was moved to CHB. He proved it didn't matter where he played, he was a superstar. Demonwiki has his full bio. Check Wiki as well. AFL tables has him kicking 17gls 15bhs in his 1st season. He was then later moved back to the forward line after killing it at CHB. I hope this puts to bed that some think he started as a backman.

I don't need to read it again Your mistake will still be wrong. Neitz was a forward 1st. NOT a CHB then became a forward. Your statement BECAME a forward is wrong. He was shifted to the backline from the forward line.

Incorrect information. Neitz started his MFC career as a forward *in the forward line*.

Perhaps the AFL got a NO WIN, NO FEE deal, just so they don't feel like complete losers. 🤔

Reasons from Appeal Board chair Murray Kellam: Law 18.5 refers only to incidental contact and makes no mention of unreasonable contact. These laws and the drafting of them, in our view, support the contentions of the appellant (Melbourne) that law 18.5 must be read in its terms. We recognise that the concerns expressed by the Chair of the Tribunal about an extreme characterisation of incidental contact have validity and that concern is, in our view, well justified. However, that does not permit us to interpret rule 18.5 as containing additional words, or to introduce exceptions into the meaning of law 18.5, which is not supported by the text nor, as far as we can ascertain, the spirit and intention of law 18.5. It's not for this board to redraft the laws of Australian Football in circumstances whereby the meaning of the law is clear on the face of it. Accordingly, we conclude that ground one of the appellants notice of appeal succeeds. It's not necessary for us in those circumstances to determine ground two.

I just came across an interesting article. It may never come to be,but never say never. Norwood FC a South Australian team is “putting together a bid” to follow a Tasmanian team in joining the AFL as a 20th team.. It does say it's a rumour at this stage, would we then have the same bum fight as the 'filth' had/has with Port Power?. Same colours, same club song, know as the Norwood "Reglegs". It does also add, the AFL wouldn't allow another team to enter the AFL, with the same colours etc. but with all the sooking Pt Adelaide has made about wearing their prison jumpers, should we be ready for a off field fight? IF the bid is ever made official? https://www.news.com.au/sport/afl/adelaide-club-putting-together-a-bid-to-be-20th-afl-team/news-story/b76ce967802c8c2d59cd4608e1c53aa2 Our Redlegs nickname may be rarely used these days, but they can ggf'd if they think they don't need to make extreme changes to their club. Stay tuned.

Hi AJ, I've being doing the SC comp on here for the last 10 yrs. And time for someone else to take it over. More than happy for you to organise it. Good luck.

I didn't want to start a new thread for this article in the Age. In case some of you that may have missed this. Remembering those that left us too early in life, but I'm sure they are with us in spirit. Their families are keeping their legacy going. https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/families-of-demons-who-died-too-young-say-their-hearts-still-beat-true-20210915-p58ry0.html#comments Greg Parke played in the Mid 60's passed on, the morning of the 2021 Grand final. With the sadness that we have endured over the long journey to add No 13 to the trophy cabinet, the families of some of our past greats now have a big smile on their faces. Lest we forget.

The results for 2021 season. Congrats to Ruff Nuts who won the Division 1 Grand Final GF Final Score 2505 defeating Turnernators 2407 This years "Bluey Medal" is awarded to BAMF team Maximum Johnson with a total season score of 50588 He is the only one thus far to have 2 in the trophy cabinet. If there is still enough interest we can do it all again in 2022

I just came across this on YouTube. I didn't know it existed. Perhaps give Robbo some love. It looks like he could use a few more Subs.
