SAAFL Div 4 2008

[Slots It Through]

Obvious lack of mirrors in your place Slots...

Correct no mirrors at all.... when you wake up and look as perfect as i do, you dont need them....

[Choccies]

Us GG boys are more than happy to stoke up the fire in Divvy 4 !!

The D4 thread will be red-hot next year, with the GG and Haven lads at each other.

You will have to act as mediator Pag !!!

It will be interesting to see how GG go next year. Of the 2 sides coming down from D3, i would expect Salisbury to be very strong next year. Not sure on Salisbury West, depends on their internal problems. If Mitcham or PAOC dont progress, they will be strong next year too. Fitzroy would be very hopeful of a big 2009, and im sure they will if they can keep their current side together and injury free. Haven would be in a similiar situation with their young group. Pooraka may drop off if they cannot improve their depth.

IMO, GG could go ok next year. They seem to have a alot of depth, probably more than half the sides in D4 this year.

I remember in '01 we won D6. We went straight through D5 in '02 and D4 in '03, '04 we were in D3. Could see Golden Grove doing the same thing. I don't think the gaps between D4/D5 and D5/D6 are anywhere near as big as the ones between D3/D4 or D2/D3.

North Haven will struggle next year. I hear the Hoods down there are leaving, and there maybe a couple more going as well.

Would they ever head back to North Pines? McIntee and Matt Hood are best mates, would probably stick together.

Don't believe everything you hear.................And Haven will be around the money again. Would need to lose alot of players to drop that much.

Were Haven around the money this year? They finished 5th which makes them average in my mind?

Thanks mate.

We went in this year with about 2 new guys from the 07 team, lost 2 to retirement. So 20 of the same 22. Para Hills got themselves a couple of good key forwards (Hanson & Flynn), another midfielder (Page), and had some other guys step up (Jarvis, Marks, Nuske back from injury), and they stayed up comfortably. And look where we ended up...

They were 2nd for most of the year............lost in an elimination final...........hardly struggletown though!!

Mitcham and Para Hills have had similiar journeys. Its almost a case of building some momentum, keep your winning group together and add 1-2 quality recruits along the way.

We have some work ahead of us in preparing for next year, but hopefully we can have a crack. We have the foundations in place.

One more box to tick this year though...

You blokes were competitive at times though. A couple of quality recruits is whats needed.

Pretty much mate, talls if you can get them. Teams like Walkerville are just stacked with talls, on dry days it can be hard to compete.

We were competitive, but not competitive enough unfortunately.

Haven finished 5th, will lose a couple of players, so may drop down a spot or 2. Where is the money coming from down there? You must just about be all out of it by now?
