D6 talk goes here

Any truth behind Ingle Farm landing a few big fish?

Ray + Owen Love - Jervois
Anthony Wilson - Kilburn
Couple more names been mentioned but it seems them 3 are all but signed…. Could be a rumour though

Otherwise, congrats on the undefeated flag Ingle Farm

a) just rumour
b) it’s cricket season
c) is this payback for me posting in D5 thread about EP?
d) flat out just trying to stop all our players going to Eastern Park, Smithfield and Gepps Cross.
e) signed none, lost a few

Have all coaches now been finalised for D6 2025? Fair bit of change, and some interesting appointments..

Adelaide Lutheran: Matt Whitford
Blackfriars: Wyatt Mackinnon (player-coach?)
Fitzroy: Nathan Rayner (player-coach)
Houghton: Kyron Lovell
Ingle Farm: Clyde Rigney
OSB Lonsdale: Michael Dean
Para Hills: Lynton Power
Rosewater: Tregan Gates?
St Pauls OS: Matt Stelzer
West Croydon: Brian Curtis

Nathan Hall back to Houghton to do the ressies is a big one for the Raiders, whilst Dave Sawtell going from Rosewater back to West Croydon should add some spice.

Wyatt returning to Adelaide and taking the BOS job, look forward to the Fitzroy / Blacks rivalry going up a notch, and the two clubs vying for each others players. Perhaps Wyatt will play also, and the two coaches can go toe to toe Rd 1

St Paul's looking for a new 2s coach, but appear the most settled aside from Houghton.

Congrats to Lynton on stepping into the hot seat at Para Hills, eager to see how he goes, and if he'll continue to play also.

Whitford is gone from Adelaide Lutheran

DUFF is back!

Matt Stelzer would be the pick of that group. I reckon Wyatts job at Fitzroy was also very underrated.

Is this Ingle Farm's 4th coach in 4 years?

Great to see Lynton get a crack at the job!

Who is Duff and what is the background of Brian Curtis?

Yes, although sounds worse than it is - Jed spent 4 years at the helm until end of 2022, Carey was initially staying around for a 2nd (and final) year but things changed in January and Rusty took over as somewhat of a caretaker coach tasked with keeping the ship sailing in the right direction, and was well aware we would look for a more suitable option for 2025 should we feel it was needed.

Prior to Jed was Paul Manuel for 5 years.

Ingle farm turning over that many coaches is alarming, maybe has something to do with one of the blokes picking them….

I agree, it’s time the members spoke and moved him on!

Was he the B grade coach with the mobility chair?

and a pretty good finals record

With all due respect, dont most their B grade coaches? Kind of happens when you load up the 2’s

Hopefully he goes well, and hopefully the A grade looks stronger than the B/C next year.

Hearing some really nice recruits for Houghton they will be very strong if all true. Waiting on the posts confirming them.

Houghton's to lose.

1. Fitzroy
2. Houghton
3. St Paul's OS
4. Rosewater
5. Para Hills
6. OSB Lonsdale
7. Ingle Farm
8. Blackfriars
9. Adelaide Lutheran
10. West Croydon

Well I really don't want to finish lower than 7th.

Beats everyone, puts himself 7th...

Some very handy recruits at Fitzroy with Dion Doolan and Ron Carbine Jnr joining Modbury B grade key forward Scott Dawson and returning junior Tyrell Sgroi.

Add in the player coach Nathan Rayner it's a potent squad. Lulu would be looking like one of those bobble heads wobbling around at the moment.

Other news went past Para Hills the other week and they had impressive numbers for a hot Thursday evening! Expect them to hit D6 running after coming up.

James Willis to Ingle Farm
AFL to div 6
Surely the bloke who told me that is taking the piss
