Re: HFL Central Division

I'd like to think that the key focus of junior sports (particularly at u/14 level) should be participation.

It's not often that you can lose by 25 goals and claim that you were "robbed"..

Re: Great Southern Football League

Former Langhorne Creek Footballer Michael Roeger will be competing in the final of the mens 1500m run in the Paralympics tomorrow morning. The race is scheduled for 6:50am Adelaide time. Roegs is a strong medal chance having recently broken the world record. Hopefully he can win gold and inspire our junior colts as they prepare for their grand final!

Re: Sydney Swans

I'm hoping there might be some fellow Swans members in the SA Footy community who might be able to help me out? My dad is a lifelong Swans supporter but his health has deteriorated quite rapidly in the last 12 months. I'd love to take him to the Grand Final (should the Swans knock over the Cats on Friday night) but I'm only entitled to register for one ticket. If there's anyone out there who'd be happy to provide their membership barcode number I'd be eternally grateful. Feel free to PM me if you're able to help out. Cheers

Re: Adelaide Hills Cricket (HCA, TVCA & A&EH)

Here's some more info from the A&EHCA website about Mt Barker and Bremer/Callington returning to A Grade:

MT BARKER AND BREMER/CALLINGTON FLAG A GRADE RETURN

The Mount Barker and Bremer/Callington Cricket Clubs have announced their return to the Alexandra and Eastern Hills Cricket Association A Grade competition in 2018/2019.

The two clubs last fielded teams in the premier grade in 2011/2012 when the A&EHCA A Grade competition featured a record 11 clubs.

During that season, Mount Barker failed to win a match and Bremer/Callington finished the season in ninth place.

Since then, both clubs have been steadily rebuilding and are now ready to compete at the top level once again.

Bremer/Callington are coming off a successful 2017/2018 that saw them finish minor premiers before going on to defeat Nairne in the A2 Grade grand final.

The Cobras boast a side packed full of young homegrown talent including two sets of brothers who have been performing particularly well over the past few seasons.

The Leigh brothers (Stewart and Xavier) and the Fitzgerald brothers (Nathan, Johnny and Brandon) are all Callington locals who have been central to the club’s recent success.

Bremer/Callington are yet to win an A&EHCA A Grade premiership since the association was formed in 1983/1984 with their last taste of success back in 1969/1970 when they took out the A Grade premiership of the Mount Barker and Eastern Hills Cricket Association.

Mount Barker narrowly missed out on playing finals in the A2 Grade competition last year but showed signs that they are a club on the rise.

The Kookaburras have a proud history and have enjoyed plenty of success over the years, however their last A Grade premiership was 25 years ago.

Talented young Mount Barker locals such as Rhys Paterson, Jackson Lane and Deklan Porter have proved more than capable at A2 level and will further benefit from competing against the A&EHCA’s top players.

A&EHCA President Joe Hill has applauded both clubs for making the big step up.

“It’s fantastic to see both clubs so committed to developing their youngsters over the past few years,” Joe said.

“They’ve invested a lot of time and effort and now it’s beginning to pay dividends.

“It’s healthy for our association to have as many clubs as possible striving to compete at A Grade level so we congratulate Mount Barker and Bremer/Callington for taking the step up.”

The Ashbourne Cricket Club has indicated that it won’t be fielding an A Grade team in 2018/2019 which would see nine clubs competing at the top tier.

Re: Great Southern Football League

Was watching some of the Creek/McLaren final the other day, is that 15yo Matty Roberts playing for Creek's A grade? I know he is a hell of a player but a fair effort playing A grade at 15!

It certainly was Dutchy. Club stalwarts believe he could be the first Langhorne Creek player to be picked in the A Grade while still a junior colt - certainly the first in recent memory.

Re: Great Southern Football League

Great little preview from Simmo on the Times website:

Great Southern football looks stronger in 2019 with big names signing on

The 2019 Great Southern Football League season starts on April 6 and clubs have been busy in the off season boosting their lists with the headline signings being AFL star Ryan Griffen, Brad Helbig, Simon Phillips and Xavier Gotch.

Langhorne Creek won the 2018 flag and coach Clint Godwin will be concerned the club does not suffer the dreaded premiership hangover. The Hawks have lost Lachlan Earl, Ben Warren and Ben McLeod, but have picked up Beau Walkom, Ryan Haylock, Dale Chandler, Phil Cleggett and hopeful of South Adelaide star Coby Helyar signing on.

McLaren were runner up in 2018 and were the Cinderella story of the competition and coach Gianni Petrucci has picked up Cody Ellison, Max Wakefield and Billy Gregory and lost speedster Oliver Dowling.

Mount Compass have been the benchmark in the competition for the past five years and look to be strong once again in 2019 under coach Peter Galbraith, who is in his eighth year at the helm.

The Dogs have lost Bernie Veide, Stuart Hill, Duane Schultz and Dale Ellis, but recruited Adam Hunter back to the club, Dwayne Ruddock, Shane Heatley and Steve Copestick.

Willunga have changed coaches with Steve Jaggard making way for prodigal son Mitch Portlock. The Demons look stronger in 2019 with the acquisitions of Scott Hunt, Daniel Lee, Nick Scanlon, Josh Dawson and Brett Miegel.

Encounter Bay will miss the ball winning ability of Ben Davis, Charlie Sharples and Rigby Barnes, but picked up some class with Patty Barrett, Tyler Baldock and Harry Toole. Coach Jed Wilson will also utilise the youth at the club which won the senior colts flag in 2018.

Victor Harbor will demand finals action in 2019 and Clint Alleway is the man to deliver it. The Roos have picked up Brock Schubert, Ben Yeomans, Jack Lang, Kurt Lindner, Jordan Bohnsack, James Bramley, Pat Conti, Ryan Jeffries and Jack Manning.

However, they have lost Doug Proud, Matt Beveridge, Matt Kreuger and Brad Borrillo.

Strathalbyn coach Todd Price will be excited with the return of Ben Simounds. The Roosters have also acquired Tom McNamara, Ethan Bell and Sam Luckett and lost Chris Clark, Sam George and Beau Walkom.

Myponga-Sellicks have a new coach in Wayne Deacon and picked up former Power listed player Simon Phillips, Tyler Harmon, Jack Fitzpatrick and Jordan Kennedy. The Mudlarks have lost the Merrett brothers, Josh Miller, Ty Allen and Scott Carpenter.

Yankalilla have outstanding inclusions for 2019 with South star Xavier Gotch, Chris Clark, Zac Edwards Joe Tyllis, Luke Durdin and Ben Pulbrook hopping on the list. Coach Joel Kay will have the Tigers surging up the ladder in 2019, although they have lost Luke Bartlett and Josh Barras.

Goolwa-Port Elliot has the biggest name return to the GSFL in Ryan Griffen and coach David Carnevale will enjoy having a stronger list in 2019. Brad Helbig, Matt Weise, Todd Marsh, Kyle Stoldt and Ryan Sutter join Griffen in gaining the club more wins this season and getting off the bottom.

Re: Adelaide Hills Cricket (HCA, TVCA & A&EH)

The history of the Alexandra and Eastern Hills Cricket Association (and the separate associations that merged to create the A&EHCA) has been compiled in a A&EHCA Wikipedia page. The page lists the details of all premiership winners, office holders, major award winners and life members as well as a detailed chronology. An interesting read for any local cricket lover!

Re: Adelaide Hills Cricket (HCA, TVCA & A&EH)

The A&EHCA looks like it will maintain the same 9 A Grade teams in 2019/2020. The newcomers in Mt Barker and Bremer/Callington struggled for parts of last season but also pulled off some great wins against more fancied opponents so its good to see both clubs sticking at it.

Re: Great Southern Football League

I guess the dogs could ask how Sellar was 4 points in 2018, 3 in 2019.... then 1 in 2020 and zero this year?

I would suggest that they might first like to familiarise themselves with the rules of the Player Points System on the GSFL website: https://websites.sportstg.com/assoc_page.cgi?c=1-6233-0-0-0&sID=163944

8.6.2. A registered player who achieves 25 Matches (without transferring) for the same Affiliated League Club will reduce one (1) additional point the following season after achieving 25 Matches.
