SAAFL Div 5 2008

[zedman]

hopefully for the other teams in div 5 sheppard plays a lot of footy for centrals

[mighty hounds]

Losing Milikan would be a massive loss to Blacks. He was the difference in the Grand Final last year. Our match up with him didnt work and had our backline shuffling all day. Rowan Shenton will be dissapointed to hear if it is true. He was looking forward to squaring the ledger after some excellent battles with him last year.

Just another note regarding GG....Sheppard is doing very well out at centrals at the moment and could see reserves footy before he sees 19's footy! Hopefully one of the pickups we have made can cover him as i expect him to be away a fair bit of the season.

i didnt say he was leaving, i said i dont know coz i havent been to enough trainings to know if he is leaving.
i think the match up didnt work on grand final day because u guys tried to clog up his space and that wa sjust too hard to do on sailsbury oval because of all the space, u guys done it well on ur smaller oval in the semi though

anyone know any ins & outs for elizabeth? apart from chris packham? is ben halliday heading back?

[zedman]

we know greenshields left..dunno about halliday..be a big boost if he came back..gun ruckman

[LovinFooty]

you play at elizabeth zedman?

[zedman]

no..know a bit about them..dw is the elizabeth man i think..he would be up to date on ins and outs..greenies look to be the measuring stick at the moment..unless those 12-14 kilburn players are real bad..and i dont think they all will be

[Dogwatcher]

I haven't been in touch with anyone from Da Hood for a while.
The only person I'd heard was going back was Packham.
I'd reckon Halliday would have one more year at Salisbury North, but I haven't seen him for ages so don't know.
I know he's a father now, so it is also possible he might consider not playing.
The Rooster may also know some info on that.

[LovinFooty]

does anyone have names of the so called 'a' graders heading to greenie's?

dw do you know shane stokes? if so any idea what he's doin this year?

[Dogwatcher]

I know Shane. Taught me a lot about footy back in the day
Not sure what he's doing now after leaving Virginia. I'm guessing people there didn't like his straightforward attitude.

does anyone have names of the so called 'a' graders heading to greenie's?

Nathan Wright, Shaun Trevillian, Sol Fitzgerald, Gozko Knezivic, Doug Reid, Leith Wright, Andrew Parkhouse. There are some others but I don't know if they are definates.

[zedman]

is the kilburn A grade ruckman one of those andy?

i heard he was going out there to..

[Andy #24]

That's N Wright. He has been in the State team for the last 2 years and got best on for one match.

[zedman]

thx mate,,any other guns in that lot?

[Andy #24]

Trevillian has played ressies and was the CHB for Central's 19s premiership a few years ago, Sol played AFL league in Canberra and is pretty handy, Doug was our captain last year and goes well although he is a midget. The other guys were all solid A graders, even before our slide last year when we were still decent.

Gojko is young and has improved out of sight in the last couple of years and I'd expect him to become a gun in div 5.

Leith came from Greenacres before we had him. Carries a bit of weight but is still reasonabley fit and should be their bash and crash player.

I think Parky might have played As back in our div 1 days. Very skillful but he'd probably be the first to say he lacks a bit of motivation to train hard. I think he's more interested in cricket. One of those smart but a little slow diesel types.

[zedman]

ok..so basically picked up half a team in one swoop greenies..they will be tough to beat

[Andy #24]

They did but having that many new people may stir a few people up too. They may also lower their standards because they're playing in a lower grade as well.

I agree though, having seen the div 5 GF I'd say a few of those bloke could tear up the comp, especially if the lack of pressure is the norm.

[boozehound]

I heard Packham is still pretty tight with Donnelly. Any chance he might head back to the Eagle with Packham? Heard they played in a div 2 flag together and have been best mates since kids. Both Eagles boys that flew the coop and enjoy playing together.

Maybe even Packham to Eastern park with Donnelly???

[LovinFooty]

i think they've got more chance playing together at elizabeth. but going from the article in the messenger a little while ago donnelly has already signed at the parks!

can anyone confirm this?

[BUZZ]

Heard a strong rumour from the Rosewater camp that Trent Ormond-Allen will be playing for them this year, where would you play him?
