[Down&Out]

[Hills]

I know it is very early stages, but based on what recruits this year what are all of your thoughts on the top 3 teams and possible other teams that could be damaging?

[mypaddock]

anyone on here involved with mypolonga?? heard they signed sean oatway from athelstone for upwards of $500 a game

[Down&Out]

Have heard that they have picked up eckermann and O'Connor from town

[great dropkick]

Have heard a whisper that there may be a RMFL-HFL premiers trial match on the cards with Jervois taking on Mt Lofty in a night scrap at Heathfield in mid-March. Anyone able to confirm. Despite being around the time of cricket finals, both clubs would probably still come up with some handy line-ups. Also is Muffy serious about a move to Ironbank from Tailem Bend, has filled in a clearance but apparently has been known to do such things before?

[The Indian]

Apparently the clearance for The Wizard has come through. Sign, Sealed and Delivered. He is now a thunderer

[Down&Out]

I see Raidis has also gone from tailem- will they have a team left?? Dent obviously not coming through with the goods- doesn't seem to be many ins other than himself!

Raidis hardly played at all last year, maybe one or two games. But yeah they've lost a heap, and will need to pick up quite a few in next 6 weeks or so to even be competitive this year.

Can confirm this game, the Devs are looking forward to playing a genuine trial game.
Apparantly muffy has signed and is training at thunder park. Why he would want to play on the worst oval in the Hills competition beats me!

I've followed the league for last 20 years or so, although haven't heard too much so far since the GF.

From what i've heard Mannum and Mypo intending on spending up big, will be a matter of them finding players though, especially Mypo who've struggled with recruiting quality players over the last few years. If Mannum get Sinkinson and Quinn back from Loxton plus maybe some of the players they've lost to the Mallee league in recent years they should be finals contenders again.

Have heard that Ramblers haven't lost anyone from last year. Saw rumoured on this site they may be picking up a quality CHB who has played in both Hills and Port Lincoln Leagues over last couple of years.

Jervois rumoured to have lost a few players but I'd imagine they'll again be front runners with Tim Richards at the helm. Their recruiting over last 3 years has been second to none, no doubt if they lose some players they'll pick up some handy ones as well. From what i can tell, Bradley Jackson's footy has blossomed with the quality recruits theyve had over last 3 or 4 years.

The club that i follow, Tailem Bend, is rumoured to be chasing 2 or 3 quality players so if they manage to sign them they should be more competitive. The club is looking forward to the direction new coach Matthew Dent (will play as well) will take it.

Haven't heard anything about Imps at all really, although they'll be right up there as always. They've got a few players reaching the 30 plus mark, so they may decide to promote some more youngsters, they're a very successful junior club.

Haven't heard anything about Meningie, they got burnt with some of their imports last year so will be interesting to see which approach they take this year to their recruiting.

anyone here know the whareabouts of the following former saafl div 1 players. are they having a kick in your league anywhere??
mark jones, paul kemp, glenn russell, paul page???

[Down&Out]

Pagey coaching Blackwood, Glenn Russell stuffing up Kilburn!

[footy fan]

I heard he has the Peake job- tough gig, just wondering how he might go

Apparently there is a few has beens going back there that have got the mind for the game but no longer the body..

Will be interesting, Look forward to seeing how he does go!!

[151]

Wondering why Russell stuffing up Kilburn
Understand he has no official capacity there any more because of his employment

[Down&Out]

Certainly has had official capacity- and employment is strongly linked with Kilburn coach?? still have some involvement there!

Think you will find he used to work with the coach, but not anymore. My understanding is that he really helped the club last year in terms of sponsorship and getting the once mighty kilburn back on track.
You obviously dont like the lad down and out. You play with him at kilburn???

[Down&Out]

yeh played with him before- back stabbed me before- you could hardly say they are back on track!!
