boblue,

I think last year it was klomp or someone thats about all i know.
they should fold again anyway just prolonging the inevitable.

Smithy,

Exactly right, i bet you would have a few extra hands going up for the committie

[BubblesOfBlue]

Qwerty You are right it was Klomp last year but I have hear he is at Mclaren Vale this year. I have heard there is an ex-westies player going to coach the Hawks but I have no idea of who.

Hello All,

What do you guys know of the Southern Football League.

Any big changes for the 2006 season - new coaches, new players.

Todd Bache Noarlunga Coach
Norm Bergman Port Noarlunga Coach
T.Meakins Chrities Beach Coach
I.Cox Flagstaff Hill Coach

New Players to Noarlunga J.Pidgeon,J.Whetstone,C.Hardwick, J.Richardson,M.Richardson
and offering big money for any others on offer
Port Noarlunga Nick Manhood Try Edwards Jock Conlon Todd Bergman Chris Chalha
Flagstaff Hill D.Betterman his brother and Tom Blum for Encounter Bay

[Wedgie]

Christ, I remember the days when the Noarlunga Footy club had to borrow from the Noarlunga Cricket Club which was run on chook raffles literally.
Times have changed.

Everyone always says noarlunga throw around heaps of money, but i know for a fact that other clubs spend a lot more on players than noarlunga.

Hopefully the shoes will be around the mark this year as they kinda dropped of the pace the last two years after 4 GF's in a row. Certainly have the best oval in the league down there.

Manhood to porties hey, should dominate this league.

Anyone got anything to say on these new coaches Bache and Burgman?

Wedgie,

I think Noarlunga has some good VIP sponsers these days, that kick in a bit of cash not to mention the Noarlunga hotel as their major sponsor i think.

Bergman coached Mclaren in GSFL tokk young side to a premiership in 2003
has been Association coach of GSFL rep side past two seasons
Bache took over from Bergman at Mclaren had a couple of ordinary seasons
previosly coached at Christies Beach and assistanat at Sturt under17s
Tony Meakins comes to Christies Beach via Morphettville Park and Morphett Vale
have no idea how Aldinga or the Hawks are shaping up.

I've known Norm Bergman for 18 years and he is a top bloke.
He was disappointed not getting the Porties job a few years back and left to McLaren as mentioned earlier and I might add he has been around the club on and off for 45 years and still doesn't have life membership at the footy club that so often hands them out too easily at times.
I'm sure Norm will be on the phone frequently attracting new players and will work hard to get the best for his footy club.
Some of you from footysa may of met him at a port v south game at noarlunga 2 years ago, I know Wedgie did and his alias was bergs.
A terrific appointment and I wish him all the best.

Cheers for the info qwerty, does Chris Vince still run the Noarlunga pub?
Always been a great sponsor of both the cricket and footy down there.
Agree 100% about the Mighty Shoe Park, I loved playing footy there.

Terrific oval to play cricket on as well I might add.
If only my bowling stopped ending up in the river I'd be alright.
And you loved playing cricket for the shoes didn't you wedgie?
Lost bet was it ?

See you this saturday at Porties oval maybe ?

Probably played more cricket than footy but only played a couple of Bs and 1 As game, so most of my cricket for the Shoes was at Hackhams South Primary School.

Me old stomping ground HSPS..

[MatteeG]

observer, where did you get your info re: recruits?

The flaggy stuff is incorrect by all reports...

[BubblesOfBlue]

Would be nice if true though hey MatteeG!!!

[the observer]

Both these players where chased by Noarlunga and told that they had signed at Flagstaff Hill
Dale Betterman is best mates with Cox
Tom Blum played for Encounter Bay and had talks with a number of clubs has a few mates from Glenelg under 19s playing there and signed only as late as Tuesday night

[BubblesOfBlue]

Observer, are you invovled with Noarlunga just interested in where this information came about the guys signing with flaggy?

[qwerty]

Wedgie,

Yeah Vincie still owns the pub down there and is definatley a good sponsor. Hear he is looking at putting in a beer garden down there soon and i must add it is also a good watering hole.

The oval is in top nick down there also drove past the other night and it looks awsome!





Wouldn't suprise me if the Bettermans did go to flaggies as they usually go with Cox.

Hear also that morphett vale have lsot a few this year so there may be a few teams all around the mark this year.

[Wedgie]

Good to hear qwerty, Chris is a top bloke and always looked after us, great pub, loved drinking there as it was like a country pub, a beer garden there will be awesome!

The ground at Noarlunga has been immaculate for about 7 years now, put a few teams in higher profile comps to shame.

[the observer]

Nothing to do with Noarlunga but no the coaching staff well
Flaggies well I have regular conversations with Coxxy could tell more but thats all at this stage
He has recruited fairly well time will tell.
Reeves from Christies Beach to Sullies another movement
All know about Trevor Rigney going to RMFL

[MatteeG]

Keep up the posting observer!

Trevor Rigney a big loss for the Lions- very handy footballer.
