State Country Champs 2009

[silicone skyline]

Well, after winning last year with the inclusion of the BLG association, Eastern Zone look set to have another red-hot crack at back to back titles, although Southern Districts is always competitive.

Any news on who is in/out of various squads can be posted here.

It's worth the journey to Pirie just to watch superstars like Safralidis, Portlock and everyone's favourite small man Vick.

[silicone skyline]

Anyone got any squads from the various zones?

[t express]

southern districts will be named on wednesday night will let you know but will be a classy team by the looks of the 40 training. would hate to be the selectors to cut 15 very good players

[silicone skyline]

Some fitness tests to be done tonight on Eastern Zone players.

Any news of the squad?

Any news of the squad?

Shoe Boy the southern districts squad trained last night at Strathalbyn. Looks much stronger than last year with the support of more clubs, Im glad the differences that were last years issues have been put to bed! Plenty of GSFL and SFL reps along with 2 Hills and 1 KIFL player.

I couldnt tell you the entire squad so i wont bother trying to name names. The squads im pretty sure should be available on the net either today or tomorrow.

huge BL&G contribution there, although never heard of todd whiley from south gawler??,

[silicone skyline]

I dunno, must've copied the name wrong, but it's definitely a "T Whiley" of South Gawler. Lol

[silicone skyline]

Plus, on that, all the Riverland and Mallee players are confirmed, there's a few from BLG I'm not sure on.

Bain, Newberry, Valentine, Lutze, Prior and Whiley are the only ones I think are confirmed
