Orana, what is going on at city? 78 points against you wtf? and Narellan beaten by Appin, did they have Wests players?
Mugged.
Please explain? :dunno:
We have probably come up against some teams who weren't 'up' due to our ladder position in recent times, however this wasn't the case with Camden on the weekend. Focused, fit and fast, they gave it to us. We had 3 of our back-line out and got carved accordingly there , but even with them Camden still win by 50. They are real contenders, probably the best 'team' I've seen thus far. First semi final will be well worth the watch.
Was Aitken one of those backs, I have heard he has left the club, and has already been chased by another Group 6 club

Not true. Played. Is contracted until October 2015, and if he doesn't secure a Holden Cup coaching/ assistant position, will extend for 2016.

Lets see if common sense prevails and the Wests Tigers excess players are excluded from the semi finals.

How many played for Thirlmere on the weekend? How many is Appin counting on?

Mittagong and Picton are spewing they could be facing teams propped up with good hardened players while they have to use reggies and U18s to fill their injury spots.

Appin lost to Mittagong 76-6 with wests players the may aswell not turn up if they get none if they make semis. thirlmere shouldn't need any between there 2 18s teams and reserves who sit second on the ladder it's a joke they get any at all.


On the grand final topic I agree it should be at Camden so long as they dnt get silly with how much they want it's still kirkham oval just because the grass in green and thy have a new scoreboard doesn't mean they can demand big money it's no anz stadium if it's not at Camden Picton is most deffinantly not the next best thing.

With one club running the BBQ and one club running the bar plus group 6 collecting $15 per head what would be too much for Camden to ask for? Clubs might as well have fields like jack Nash if there is no benefit.

Thirlmere had 3 on the weekend. I'm sure mitta are spewing with Appin and Thirlmere using west players given they put 70 on appin an 20 on Thirlmere.
The wests players will be allowed to play in the semis it's about time everyone stop complaining.

There worse ground then jack Nash haha .. It should be $10 max entree and the hosting team should get the gate for the day then other clubs get canteen,bar ect it certainly shouldn't be group 6 making all the money cause then we're does it end up ?

It used to work that the group got the gate during the finals series and then there would be some split done between the clubs that participated in finals series. I don't know if that still happens. I agree that the GF should be shared around the group provided the host club is capable of managing the day with the group. Mossy has only had one GF that I can remember in the last 30 years and that was around 2008 from memory. Facilities at Mossy just as good as any other ground. particularly to watch the game with the hill and clubhouse etc. It does take a lot of work to put on and the group has a large criteria of what it wants so it does cost money. So host club should at least get canteen/bar to recover costs plus make some money. Might help create more interest in the game for "struggling" clubs if they held events like GF's in these towns

5th spot definately up in the air! On a different more, just found out that the gf is at Picton? My question is why? No disrespect to the picton club, but the facility at kirkham should be hosting our showpiece day! Its surface, electronic scoreboard, new dugouts, parking space, and overall condition are far beyond any other ground in group 6. I used to love watching gf at picton, but its time to move forward. Every other group plays their premier games on the premiere field. I for one cannot fathom this decision to play our biggest matches on an inferior ground which isn't looking the best atm. Any thoughts?
Big deal if Camden has an electronic score board and their surface is immaculate. Theirs is not the only ground that has been upgraded this year. At Picton we are now a selling hot chips and milkshakes. Top shelf.
Why is it only Camden and Picton in the running for the GF? what is wrong with a Mittagong, Moss vale or the Oaks? it use to be shared around and now only played between two grounds, sharing it around gave other grounds the chance for a make over and gave those clubs some revenue.
I remember they made the call at a group meeting or end of season forum that the ground would be either Kirkham or Victoria Park and it was more to do with people not travelling to the Southern Highlands
2008 Mossy hosted it, and it was not the greatest day weather wise, the elements were definitely out that day.
I think the same happened when Mittagong last hosted the GF in 2006? Picton & Thirlmere
Keep the showpiece at Camden, and give everyone a turn at the final.

Yeah good call, clubs will derive just as much benefit from hosting the game before the decider always great footy and big crowds. Leave the grand final for the best ground in the group. Clubs still have the benefit of running certain things on the day, ie, food and drink, raffles etc. Onto footy. Who will be in the decider? Think Mitta have all to lose and will feel the pressure of expectation again this year. Picton returning to close to full strength? Camden dominant in forwards. Intriguing finals series!

But at the end of the day Southern Higlands is apart of group 6 and has every right to host the big games Mossy and Mittas grounds are good!! IMO the grand final should reflect what clubs are in the big day you dont want Camden v Narellan at Mossy and you dont want Mittagong vs Thilmere at Camden either!! You want a big crowd and closer to the home clubs the better the turn out.
Group 7 have moved there GF to Illawarra Carlton Club Collies home ground and that hasent gone down well by most clubs.

On another note i went up to the re opeaning of the Clubhouse at Bowral and what a fantastic job done by council and Bowral Juniors!! Good to see that even though there is no Senior Club ATM Bowral Seniors still raised 10,000 to assist in the upgrade!! AND FINNALLY THE AFL POSTS are DOWN!!!

Great to hear the GAYFL posts are down
If you really wanna analyse it
Mittas ground is ordinary, dry, slopey and hard
MOSSY, much the same
I disagree, last game of the year should be played at the best venue.
Thirlmere, you end up with 3rd degree burns, never played at Appin. Narellan this time of year is a dust bowl.

That leaves OAKDALE to host the GF :laughing: :laughing: just love the sheds up there

All grounds have wear and tear from use by both juniors and seniors, except Camden who have bypassed the water meter having unlimited access to the mains and installed underground heating to promote regrowth :clap:
