No, but there's lots of blokes sitting on the bench, getting one of their 18 quarters in for the season.

More like 25 years for Westfields (didn't Blakeview have something to do with them ending?). I can't even remember an Elizabeth North, so that must have been a bloody long time ago. And Blakeview was in 1994, IIRC, not long after Mile End (an infamous pairing).


Blakeview had stuff all to do with Westfields folding, Westfields were always in A2 of the CDFA and after Smithfield hosted a 10 hour local band tribute for a local musician that died pretty much all of the WFC played at Smithifeld, this included the Moss brothers, Capasso, Youngy and a heap of others.

Blakeview formed from a few breakaway Smithfield players, Leigh Baker was the inaugural chairman at 17 or 18 years of age.

Elizabeth North Saints used to use Dauntsey Oval, they last had an under 14 team in 1988, it was their only remaining side.

My first year of Ammos was 1986 with the Brighton High Old Scholars. In A4 in 1986 we had Immanuel OS, Gepps Cross, ANZ Bank, Burnside-Kensington, Wingfield Royals, Old Ignations, Alberton United, Post-Tel and Salisbury College.

Only 2 of those 10 clubs still standing outright with BHOS and Alberton United maintaining some existence in mergers to form the Brighton Bombers and Portland.

Other clubs not mentioned above that were floating around back then but no longer exist include National Bank, Greek and Teachers College.

Early 90's saw NAB [shared oval/facilities with Unley Jets at Kingswood] and ANZ fold, I reckon there was a UniSA team there for a while also. Remember playing against Ovingham, Wingfield, STA, Mile End Cats - almost all of the teams around Div 5 back then are no longer around.

End of 2001 season

I remember that copped they some absolute hidings in D6 that year. I ran the boundary down there for a 50-goal drubbing.

I played in that game. Would've only been 48 goals without my contribution

Mitchell Park was a club that used to be around. was a sad day when they died. 50 years of history

everyone just sat around and watched it happen. if only at the time all their neighbour clubs each tried to donate 2 or so players from their surplus

or if only the league took them under their wing and did a mini recruiting drive via their portals

oh well too late now R.I.P lions :lol:

The Lions making the trek out to Houghton should be a good one. Put the shorts and thongs from last week away and bring a brolly maybe.

Now is the time of year you want to play at Houghton though. Playing there in R18 when the oval gets boggy and the blokes in the pocket hang sh*t on you for 2 hours is even less fun than it sounds.

I made the mistake of wearing two pairs of socks so my shinguard didn't rub on my leg. Gee whiz did I cop it for that.

ROUND 2
Flinders Uni vs TTG
Golden Grove vs Marion
Houghton vs OSB Lonsdale
Mitchell Park vs St. Pauls
Central United vs Mawson Lakes

This round is sponsored by OTR as the Units will have entertained the Lakes entourage and completed their best player awards before any other visiting team make it back to their own club.

The game at Houghton Memorial Oval looms to be a cracker, OSB couldn't ask for a better litmus test coming into the AdFL than to host the tough Units first up and then the trek out to visit the mountain men who will be as tough as nails too.

With no solid reason or nous of the competition yet I'll tip OSB by 15 points after their opening round form and it's hard to gauge where Houghton are as St. Pauls have been one of the most inconsistent teams in lower grades over the past few years, in saying that, the Bumblebee's should account for the Marcelina's by 11 goals.

Marion and TTG to get the biscuits by 75 & 90 points respectively.

I don't wear fluro boots, and I was in the FP Rd 18 last week only to hear someone screaming out "Give it up, you're too fat and useless"..

Turns out it was my cousin :( thanks pal
