Watched a bit of cricket there about a f/night ago, and it was looking in great nick.

Very flat, large oval.

One of the better ovals in the hills with great facilities. Hope you've got a good clash Guernsey as they are the tigers aswell.

3rd at end of minor round then lost their 2 finals to finish 4th. This is actually the wrong thread though as they are in Central division.

Ok cheers, thanks for the info. Looking forward to the road trip, should be a good day.

Hall should be asking for double what he has been promised if the info on what the Brahma boys are getting is correct.

HFL Website now updated with 2014 Draw for Central & Country:
http://www.foxsportspulse.com/comp_info ... &a=FIXTURE

Also looks like a few clearances already been put in also:
http://www.foxsportspulse.com/assoc_pag ... -0&a=CLEAR

Pasted off the Central thread from The Sorce
looking at the clearances whats the story with a few Birdwood going to Kersbrook? Or are they colts going back home?
Notice Kersbrook have picked up a few more elsewhere as well, how strong will they be? and points wise where do they stand?

On the fixtures the Mt Lofty v Kersbrook game will be interesting.
Also whats the story with the double ## next to the list, does that mean its not finalised yet?

Can't believe what I've just read in the Courier. Echunga bragging how they dominated Country Division and went undefeated last Season (although they were given extra point, what a joke) and then I ready Mt Lofty have also been given 15 points, the same as the bottom teams of this Division. Surely the other Clubs are not happy about that? How has the HFL justified allowing this to occur is beyond me.

Yes a lot of Kersbrook colts returning from Birdwood. Kersbook will have a senior colts side coached by Michael 'Chopper' Westley

They did completely dominate the division!

That's my point "Champ". Your Club cried wolf and received extra points from the HFL to then go through the Season winning with ease, your B's even played in the finals so you must not have been that bad for numbers... definitely no worse off than many of the Country Division Clubs, and they don't even get the level of support that you got and you've been in the top two of the Division for many seasons.

And now the HFL look like making the same mistake with Mt Lofty, it's just not right! Clubs like Meadows, Nairne, etc are working hard to bridge the gap and are then handed another unfair disadvantage and for what reason.

Just noticed on amateur site ex mt lofty player travis white cleared to play with kersbrook.handy player.also tim white may of played for birdwood back in div 1

Out of interest, how many points do you believe Echunga were supposed to have had last season and how many did they get on top of this?

Any additional points are not warranted in my opinion. As you've indicated you have absolutely dominated the competition so they are simply not justified no matter how you put it.

is blackwood C's still joining the saafl or are they staying in the hills league?

When you get them, complain/opinionate away but have something plausable to back it up.
I'd be more concerned about the current state of play than the past.

Spoke to a lad from Sedan today and he told me they will be lucky to get within 30 goals of the team coming down from the top division yet they both have been allocated the same points. If that is true your decision makers should become clowns in the circus.

It's true and very unclear on how the HFL have justified it. My understanding is a few clubs want answers and another special meeting will be called.
