Flinders Park - a side with great depth, some very handy young blokes running around and some good big men, on there day will take it up to anyone but need to find some consistancy, 1 or 2 new recruits would be great for them but i think they will miss the 5 this year
Gepps Cross - another side i dont no much about again coming down from D1 should be very competitive, have picked up a few good players including a very very good CHB should be in the top 5
Kilburn - plenty of talk about the chicks, some very good young blokes, if all from last year are going around again should see them do well again but moving up the grades so quick they cant really afford to loose any and probably need to gain a couple
Modbury - to be honest didnt overly impress me last year, play the wide expances of there oval well but think they might need to find some quality new faces to be a threat, bottom half
PAOC - were a very dangerous side in the back half of the season last year, plenty of quality at there disposal, just needed to get them all on the park at the same time, i see them improving this year, around the 5
Port District - have lost some very handy players, still a lot of quality there but can see a small slide down the ladder, i get a feeling they will gain some quality though closer to the season, in the past there recruiting has been good
Portland - will be very similar to last year, very hard to beat at home but need to improve on depth
SHOC - Dont no much about at all and havent heard much, they were a D1 grand finalist 2 years ago so they still must have some serious quality around the place, im interested to see were they are at if anyone knows anything about them
SMOSH West Lakes - depth is the key for them, always a very solid team and with the addidtion of a couple experienced midfielders to go with there very good big man department, should see them be mid table
Walkerville - from all the talk going to be very hard to beat, great depth and with the inclusion of Christie, and Heinze to pair up with Fisher up forward will be a nightmare for defenders, think they will be very high up when it comes the serious time of the year
SHOC lost about 12 players from their GF side of 2011. With Fosdike back in, and a few more rumored to return, I reckon they will surprise a few.
Is Horan still coaching? He runs a pretty good game plan which really suits the bigger ovals used in finals. May struggle slightly on the smaller grounds. But it all comes down to how you play in finals anyway.
They have a few back in (good ins), but also lost a few like Juniper and I hear Cailotto to South Adelaide. A heap of good kids in though thru their premiership 18s/school. Depending on how good the other sides are and not seeing Div 2 for a while, would think would finish 3-6th range. Big wraps on their new coach.
