in the guts..what happened to smosh? wasnt he there?

[Felch]

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

He did play his junior footy there, so could be true.

[Bully]

not sure about this group of players from kilburn to greeacres this season, guess i will see when we play them this year on HOW good they really are

[LovinFooty]

havent heard much about ingle farm. how is your team shaping up bulldog? any ins or outs?

Im pretty sure he had a few games at Hahndorf last year, dont quote me on that but....
His older brother is having one last year of footy and Trent has decided to help the club out.
Both of them played all their junior footy at Rosewater

[zedman]

good pick up then

[Andy #24]

good pick up then

Not that good. Apparently he has dropped of rapidly in the last couple of years and is injury prone.

[zedman]

aah ok

[BUZZ]

Had a long history of hamstring problems, but i think in A5 footy he maybe able to get through, even if he sits up forward he could still be damaging

I agree Buzz, will be more than handy.

When was the last time his brother Troy played any footy ? He would be in is mid-late 30s. Was a gun junior in his day.

He would be about 33 now i think.
He played a few over 35 games this year for Rosewater but he is only 33.
Played for Nth Haven about 10 or so years ago but broke his jaw pretty bad and gave it away then

[LovinFooty]

Sorry mate, been in the sun too long, i think your right

It's not where they've come from, but how they've done it.
They pick up quality players, have a good set-up and seem to enjoy each other's company.
However, they'll have to do some significant work to step up from here.

Have Friars changed coaches? anyone no what happend there?

i can tell you. john belton stepped down due to work commitments. and now we have terry howe as coach who has previously coached hope valley and pembroke old scholars not sure if theres any other teams.

Are you going by the poll? They do have a fair few blokes that go on this website.

They have just won 2 flags in a row, which is a great achievement, but I'd be surprised if they made the top 5 this year with some good teams going around. However, I also wouldn't be surprised if they made the top 5 as well just because of their brief, yet successful history. Does that even make sense?? Touched, play on...

Terry Howe coached Hope Valley to a Grand Final in 2000 which we unfortunately lost to Para Hills. The next year he lost a lot of good players (incl. ruckman, full forward) for various reasons and we struggled in div 5. Not sure how successful he was at Pembroke. I think he'll go alright at Blackfriars, pretty hard act to follow but...

i think if blackfriars can get their 1st 18 on the park for the majority of the season they will make the finals no worries. the only major difference between div5/6 is that in div 5 you have a challenging game nearly every week, where as in div 6 there is a couple of fairly weak sides. if golden grove recruit well they will also do ok. they had a much better side last year than when they were in div 5 two yrs ago.
