[Animus]

Any names there Mister?

What's news around the league...

How many clubs will be competing in 2017 and what will the junior age groups be?

[Dutchy]

Seems things are pretty active down at the Valley, probably could have waited a couple of weeks before making phone calls to people involved in premiership celebrations though!

Not all one way conversation is what I have heard

Reckon I know what you referring to now...good luck with that

Heard something along these lines from few different people over the last couple of days from different grades juniors and seniors but I didn't make it to the AGM so can't comment on this however the issues I heard about were around before then
Is that what you heard MF?

Some money's freed up down at Taylors road?
Rumor has it The $16,000K+ spent on 1 x 2016 recruit has been cut for 2017.
Trying to make a "River" flow through the valley in 2017 is the mail, I don't "Raitt" there chances on the first one.

Bigger problems than debating the song at the AGM F&C although I didn't get there either

Player management not going well from what I hear... Looks like there may be some big name departures or are they holding our for more money?

Great Presentation Night for the Brighton Bombers tonight. We leave the SFL with a heavy heart after 20 senior and 23 junior seasons. The SFL has provided us with the opportunity to grow our juniors from nothing. We joined in 1994 with 2 junior teams because local high school football folded at the end of 1993 and there was no Metro South JFL back then. After 3 years of junior growth in the SFL we moved our seniors over and our club continued to grow to where we are today. Our decision to re-join the SAAFL is partly due to the junior options now available in our area particularly with the SANFL Juniors comp not to mention the continued challenges we have faced with the Public/Private school demographic of our juniors. Despite some issues with a few problem clubs, the administration of the SAAFL has never been stronger and we believe the timing is right to make the move. The opportunity to enter Division 3 was a faIr offer and will give us a chance to make an immediate impact. We will however miss the strong rivalries and respect we developed with many SFL clubs. It's a pity that plenty of outsiders take pot shots at the SFL on the back of some one sided results because there has always been 8 or 9 SFL clubs that would put most other clubs in SA to shame with how well they are run. Then again, there is an old adage that states you are only as strong as your weakest link so that will continue to be the challenge for the SFL and its clubs.

Our winners tonight:

A grade B & F - Mark Jolly Medal
1st - Will Rivers
2nd - John McPherson
3rd - Todd Johnstone

B grade - Alex Pietrus
C grade - Adam Bettineschi
U18 - Jack Chalmers
