One question I have is why did Echunga play a couple of their better players in both B's and A grade later in the season? Could it be that they also understood the by law to mean minor round games only like many other clubs do??
I don't agree they should be relegated but I think their argument based on the by laws will be a long shot, and if many clubs understand it to mean something else is it really fair Bridgewater are relegated?

Some am say money well spent but again tv have all their eggs in one basket. When he decides to leave they are in trouble again. F the clubs vote to stick to a 10 team comp, they need to grow some balls and vote for it to be the best 10 clubs. Echunga is clearly in the top 10.

I believe Ironbank have 13pts to play with.

Geez nice pick up for the bankers there. I believe mots and the other aboriginal lad are the only people points players they had left and they are 2 each now. Don't think there other recruits from last year have stayed. Is cam Hitchcock 5 cos he was on an afl list last year?

I don't reckon the Ironbank facilities are too bad. Small oval but good deck and good size sheds! A lot better than some other centrals clubs

Blackwood picking up bricknell and Thompson should improve them significantly, even if they lost their recruits from last year.
Lobey would almost be equal favorites with echunga next year with their pick ups to add onto their local strength.
Surely barker will pick up a few handy players, especially with block in charge and can imagine hahndorf will be much improved next year.
Should make for a really good comp next year once again. Have heard Gordon may be leaving lofty, any truth to that rumor?
Gordon getting on a bit so maybe he thought he couldn't keep up with the central div pace.
Have heard Luke Carey is down at the crows sanfl side training, I would think he would get a run so that would be a big lose for the demons. Also Lindsey has gone down to the MSE comp. Couple of big outs.
Onkas cranking up pre season in 2 weeks, no doubt McGahey will get those boys very fit so Onkas could be a surprise packet if they add to their squad. Any news on Uris? They would only have 3 points to play with if my maths add up.... And providing previous recruits (Delvins and Ivans) go around again.

This comment makes me wonder, how early should you be starting Preseason?
To me anything before Christmas is way too early and to be starting in November is just plain ridiculous (we're not the AFL). Half of Port Power's list aren't even starting their preseason until the start of December and that's their job. I know as a player the couple of times we had to start preseason before Christmas, I was starting to get sick of footy before we even made it to Rd 1.
Surely Players can get themselves fit over the summer and then start preseason in late Jan, Early Feb.

Beg to differ daddy, if you have a keen playing group that want to get stuck into some fitness work before Xmas then why stop them? Trust me it is a lot easier running around with a whole group of mates getting fit rather than doing it all by yourself. Even if it is only one or two nights a week then there is no harm in it at all. We won't be bringing the footys out until middle of Jan, times have changed since you were running around I think.

facilities are better than Bridgewater, Blackwood, Mt Barker, Mt Lofty and Torrens Valley.
On par with Hahndorf, Uraidla.
Onkas, Lobey, Echunga are probably better.
What's the problem with it? bit tight on parking but i reckon a good deck, the grassy pitch out the front of the home change rooms are a nice touch, good sized rooms.
Showers weren't amazing but i've had worse!

The visitors room is a shed, with terrible showers and one corner is full of unused gym gear. The little grass spot is useless, fair enough it is good for Ironbank to warm up on but besides that where do the visitors warm up? Dodging cars in the car park is what they have to do. I think blackwoods would be slightly better and even mt loftys would be slightly better. At least you can use the high school out the back for a decent warm up:
Any way it is a never ending debate.
Any other news on recruiting?
