Who are Ingle Farms best players? Who do we think are their biggest challengers?[/quote]

Serious?? It's round 1!!!! Our challengers are every team in Div 6.! It's going to be an interesting year that will be extremely competitive. Thinking any longer than our next opponent will be fraught with danger! Others can speculate and predict....we won't be doing that....that's for certain. We will respect our opponents each and every week. We are just a pretty even team with reasonable depth.

Andrew Mitchell $50000k well spent ??????

glenunga look like being the next kilburn,sailsbury west scenario,4-5 very expensive ex sanfl players in for 1 year,then andrew mitchells money runs out,players leave,back to div 7 again.

I don't care how good you are, 3 players don't make a team. Glenunga have no depth.

those players were all encouraged to leave glenunga,by the senior coach.

Division 6 Reserves - Two Sleeping Giants?
Brahma Lodge v Fitzroy

Arguably the match of the round, as the Tigers host the Lions in this highly anticipated clash between two sides with aspirations for finals action and success.

Brahma Lodge, after a shock Rd 1 loss, kick started their season last Round with a commanding 64 point victory over Trinity OS. Interestingly, almost identical to the corresponding fixture last season where the Tigers won that encounter by 63 points.

The return of association medalist Kurtis Smith to the Lodge B grade paid dividends, allowing Nick Hall to be freed up and rested when needed. Add the inclusions of Hickey, Taylor and Carling along with the dangerous Phil Hall finding a return to form (5 goals), made the Lodge a formidable force and they flexed their muscles.

Plenty of height around the ground, the Tigers have a good balance of height, goal kicking power and one of the more experienced midfield/half back lines to be a serious contender once again this season.

Fitzroy were the big talk in the off season after their heavy recruiting, but unfortunately this hasn't translated to on field success yet, their start to the season not made any easier by squaring off against both relegated clubs in the opening rounds in Elizabeth & Pulteney - both of which are expected to be amongst the action when the whips are cracking come season close.

Nick Capasso has been a consistent focal point for the Lions, with the forward so far attributing 40% of the 'Roys goals this season, while at the other end of the ground, Stotter and Bennett have been very good under the enormous pressure and weight of inside 50's from opposition sides and captain David Palmer has been tireless in his endeavor around the ground.

The Lions have experienced an unsettled lineup to start the year - having already used 27 players through the side - and will be hoping to lock down a more consistent side over the coming weeks if they're to live up to the hype pre-season and fire.

Despite the different starts to the season, both Brahma Lodge and Fitzroy appear on paper to match up quite well. Smith/Hall (BL) vs Lennon (FIT), Taylor (BL) v Bennett (FIT), Freeman (BL) v Stotter (FIT), Hickey (BL) v Wild (FIT) all crucial battles which will go along way to the outcome of this match.

Can Fitzroy win this away clash? Yes they can, but the question will be a matter of how they manage the tall timber of the Lodge while nullifying the impact of Leigh, Hickey, Burchall, Gehlkin and i particular the run off half back.

Team that can get out to a 3 goal buffer first will win this game, I fancy that'll be the Tigers - they play their ground better, and have more key personnel around the ground. Fitzroy will have their hands full cutting the supply to Freeman and Hall and that'll prove the difference.

Tip: Brahma Lodge 25 points

So much anti-Kane rhetoric. He's a different kinda cat and was utterly devoted to his football. He's also not someone I would call a people person. But you know what, that probably describes me too! Not everyone has to be a good bloke cobba beer swilling yobbo at the front bar talking shit to be a good person.

I've had a few dealings with him and he has always been cool.

Good on him for contributing back to local footy.
