Who goes into the season as favourites to win the flag?

Hard to say. A hunch with recruits not confirmed at this stage I'd have Tea Tree Gully from Kensington and Glenelg.

Interesting that first five games are rumoured to be one day matches which is a positive - giving maximum opportunities to perform each discipline early in the season and build rhythm. Can't say I'm a fan of the rumoured T20 games across all grades on Saturdays either side of Christmas.

Agree, until all rumours of recruits and losses are known is pretty hard to call.

Rough program of draw is being more linked to how Cricket Australia run their program. Five one day games to start year, like when the JLT Series is on, then 3 two day games while Shield games are on, then from Dec 20 to mid Jan all 20/20 games while Big Bash on, then finish with two day games when Shield returns. Don't mind that approach, seems to make sense.

Appears like One day Cup only has Top 4 this year, could only see Semis listed. Also the finals of this comp clash with the Futures League having a 20/20 comp in Perth so all of those players will be unavailable for Semi and Grand Final which is disappointing.

Does that mean all 5 of those One day games go towards the Premiership Table for two day comp also?? Will need to be up and running early if so as could make or break your season! Pot Luck also what teams you play in the Two day games if looking for outright wins.

Back to on field stuff Adelaide have lost another First Grade player. Going to hurt the top of the order massively.

Any hints?

Protest at Nobesy captain haha

AGM on Monday will probably reveal more information.

H31 - any information to reveal from the AGM?

Heard Valente staying and will be Captain, Port thought they had their man too. Good result for Adelaide.

Interesting, doubt they will see him much considering he will be in the Caribbean, Hobart, Dubai etc with his T20 commitments. Suppose the bookworms have the spondula to burn, wonder how the other coaches feel carrying the load?

Rumour Woodville picked up ex Glenleg quick?

They definitely need it, with Coles back strengthening their batting they could make 400 every game, but can they take 10 wickets?

Turley was their only wicket taker and gone to Prospect, Tietjens body gone and nearly done, Francesca breaks down a bit and not a strike bowler, guys in 2nd Grade like Thoman not up to 1st Grade.

This guy be handy if he can stay on the park, another bit injury prone though!

Tiejtens has retired and Coles not playing through business opportunities.

Spot on FS!!

Interesting Arch about Coles, he was pretty keen talking to him last year, disappointing.

Not surprised with Tietjens, had great career and body just started to struggle.
