Noticed Russ Curyer has a clearance pending to Porties- big loss for the Lions if he moves.

Definitely a big loss Rusty was a very well liked/loved part of our club. He's a great footballer and even better bloke and has given our club many years of great service. In the 5-6 years he spent with us he won a BnF and was runner up last year.
He has been basically the dream recruit both on and off the field he always supported club functions, helped with juniors and club days. While its disappointing he will be playing against us there is certainly no bad feelings from anyone at the club toward him. I look forward to catching up with him for a beer when we play Porties.

Good luck to my good mate Rusty. Fantastic bloke, great clubperson and an all round contributer. But, Lions to Porties? He must know something.

Would like to thank OSB Lonsdale for the hit out yesterday. Great day out and appreciate you all coming in for some beers afterwards. Good luck for season 2012.

Isn't this a football forum and not a place where people can make assumptions about others. This must still be what they call the silly season. Do we know who has trial games this weekend?

[Dutchy]

Ive deleted some flame posts and posts that ID posters which is against our rules.

Please stick to discussing the footy and no personal attacks.

Thanks

[Soundwave]

Christies Beach U/14s are looking for a trial game on the 31/3/12 @ Hackham.
All our other grades will be playing on that day and Hackham are happy for us to use their oval.
Please PM me or call Chris Faulkner (u/14s coach) on 0402 340 484 if anyone would be interested.

Thanks.

Flaggies are hosting Onka's and Blackwood over the next couple of weeks in trials

Its not a good league when
Reynella have 66 for u/12s 58 for u/10s and 50 for u/8s
and other clubs have none
feel sorry for the kids that get only 1 quarter
the league should cap how many kids per age group

[asert]

And what's your suggestion on how to turn away kids when they reach their cap. I'm all for fairness and kids getting a go but they want to play with their friends/family or maybe even the closest club to where they live. Stupid comment

[Straight Line]

I dont know if there is any truth to this but i heard Brighton put in four U12 teams and were only allowed 2. Gee a lot of kids will only get 1 quarter a year.

How Strong Flagstaff u/18 this year?Who is likely strongest in this comp?

I have heard they are now turning kids away.

Back to back U/16s premiers so I'm assuming our lads will be competitive this year in the 18s. Emus, Cove and Brighton always handy in this age group. Shoes would be pretty strong too I'd think.

Not much said on here about the Shoes. How is my mate Mitts and the boys going? See they have picked up Riddley from Blackwood. Class act.

Not sure wot to make of the mv/will game today. I know mv had a handful of a graders not play, pretty sure willunga would've been in same boat. I guess good first hit out for both clubs. Mv by a cupla goals I think.

understand both sides well
they have the cap in the metro leagues
my son wanted tp play with his mates at henley a couple of years ago and made their third side in under10
the following year they brought the cap in and he was told to go to lockleys which even tho is 5 minutes up the road is not where his mates were and quickly fell out of footy
a shame but i understand where he was coming from and also where the league was coming from
i suppose if the kids really want to play that much and their parents can get them their they will but it is really tricky
something has to be sorted so we loose no more kids to sports in general
i believ they use the same caps in basketball in the metro leagues

That's exactly what I am talking about. You would rather kids get lost from the game. Make a great culture and the kids will come, then their friends. Kids are there for their mates. So many get lost in the game in juniors you don't want to encourage it further

We took plenty out of the game Vulcan. Always a good encounter with Morphett Vale and wish them luck for the year!
