Noarlunga have a reason to be the shoes though with the onk shaping around the ground to look like a horse shoe.Theres no vine yards in Reynella,in fact the closest thing I have seen to a vine yard in Reynella in the past 10 years was a paro 16 y.o sitting in a gutter skulling fruity lexia from a goon sack at 3:45 am on a Tuesday morning lol,But I am well aware years ago it was a wine region.Btw how many falcons fly around Flagstaff Hill??

Isn't there a winery around Reynella, I went to a 21st there once.
Great venue - was a wine cellar.
By my recollection there were some vineyards there too. But you are right, the urban sprawl means there are very few there now.

The St Francis winery,right next to Reynellas ground.Yes I forgot that lol.Even though I have been to 3 weddings (Including our A grade ruckmans) there in the past 5 years.Yes you are correct its a great venue from what I remember (Not too much)

[silent hour]

Hardys winery company office is on Reynell road Reynella, a couple of drop punts from Reynella oval.

Do all those St Marks boys you have come together and are you likely to lose them as well?

leading goalkicker in div 6 with nearly 90 goals would be a huge hole to cover..where is he going?

[PowerChokers]

i know a couple of guys that play at elizabeth, they tell me they have almost signed chris packham and are a bit excited about it. does anyone know if he's any good?

[Dogwatcher]

Chris Packham was a gun junior. A very good junior. Could've played at Centrals. Diminutive rover. Went with Brendan Donnelly to Gepps Cross as a teen (might have been when Shane Stokes was involved with the B grade there). Not sure where he went after that, but I understand injuries may have slowed him down since. He'd be about 27 now.
When I knew him was a great lad and was a big loss to the Eagles at the time. They'd be happy to have him back.

[BigDaddy]

Packy went out to TTG for a few years after Gepps Cross. He has since had a baby (well, his wife has anyways!!!), and came back to play a few B Grade games at athe Gully over the past couple of years.

A great in and under player. I don't think he has ever stood in the back row of a team photo, but what he lacks in height he makes up for in skill and footy brains. He's a top bloke from a great footy supporting family.

Injuries have slowed him down, but he still would get plenty of the ball in Div 5, and you can never replace a footy brain like his.

Correct on all fronts DW....Packy is a top bloke, won an A grade division medal aswell when he was at Gepps....very handy pick up for Elizabeth if true.

[Dogwatcher]

Big Daddy - did you know Shane Pickering when he was at the Gullies?

[BigDaddy]

not really DW. He may have been before my time, or I may have known him by his nickname. I am terrible with names!!

Was he at the club within the past 6 or-so years?

[Dogwatcher]

He was. Got cleared from Elizabeth in 2005 I think. Played first half of season in A grade, then unfortunately injured a knee. Very good player who never quite got the most of himself.

[BigDaddy]

Oh yes, now I think I remember.
I think you will find that he was clared back to Elizabeth the next year.
Great player though

[Dogwatcher]

He did get cleared. Felt bad about it, but thought he had to have another crack with his mates before finishing up.

[BurraBoys]

Losing Milikan would be a massive loss to Blacks. He was the difference in the Grand Final last year. Our match up with him didnt work and had our backline shuffling all day. Rowan Shenton will be dissapointed to hear if it is true. He was looking forward to squaring the ledger after some excellent battles with him last year.

Just another note regarding GG....Sheppard is doing very well out at centrals at the moment and could see reserves footy before he sees 19's footy! Hopefully one of the pickups we have made can cover him as i expect him to be away a fair bit of the season.
