Was it planned or coincidence that round 1 games is what Div 1 and Div 2 would be like if you spilt it for season 2012????? the 8 teams in div 1, and 7 in div 2 (marion Bye) or even if it was 10 in div 1 the next 2 in line MVP and Etown play anyway.
Aldinga v Christies - Aldinga with depth and C grade but how good is the depth? a lot of mercenries left (surprise....
) Christies bit of surprising margin in round 1. should win again, Christies.
Cove v Porties - Dont underestimate either of these sides this year, will be very competiive. Cove plenty of good young players, Matt reavill back from reco.? Porties top 6 players as good as any on the league, Curyer a good in. Cove at home to win
Flaggies v Valley - Falcons have a harder draw than last year but took giant strides, haver heard no major losses and 1 absolutly massive inclusion to the onball brigade. Valleys heaps of ins and outs, sugg, gregory are big losses but P-grey, J Eags and squire are good ins. Flaggy at home to win
Parks v Towns - Roos lose Seb gain trev C so worked out ok, also took on more mercenries... will lack B grade depth again and injuries could hurt. Towns have a few losses and not many gains. I have a feeling they could slip a bit this year. Roos at home and maybe by a bit
Shoes v Brighton - Shoes have massive outs but at least 2 great ins Ridley and carter. Golding still go to guy and how will comer ruck all year by himself. Brighton solid as normal, whitford big loss and also some quality B graders left also, not sure on any major gains? Brighton to win
Lions v Hawks - I really fear for OSB lonny especially if they lose this one, which I think they will. Too may losses, no gains, no depth and no juniors pushing through, very very long year for them screaming give us Div 2! Hawks beaten by too much last week if they are serious this year, will get better each game and will have too many fit players this week and will win, margin Im not sure.
Wineys v Emus -Reynella have enormous outs and not many gains, but are a depth club with a strong B grade. Dont write them off this year but will miss X factor key players. Have a lot of fringe South players returning for this game. Can anyone tell me did Bishop get sacked or stood down himself? its still beyond me that a coach can take a rebuilding team to prelim then losing granny and get bumped out by someone else?????? MV took good steps last year with younger players and will be up thereabouts again. MV to win prob by a bit.
