Well if this is the case then they are a bunch of idiots.They have a gun full forward from there u18s going up from this season gone who kicked about 90 goals,not only this probably have in there u16s the best chf ive ever seen play junior footy,believe his name is jim mcintosh,this guy is an absolute gun and is a f##n machine and would be about 6 foot and probably weigh 90-100kg.If i were a bomber person id be lookn to these kids before bringing in outsiders.LOOK AFTER YOURE OWN FIRST.

if these juniors are that good they probably wont be playing brighton for much longer.

totally agree BA have seen them both play in their respective GF's and they were very impressive.

[cyclops]

I would have thought if these 2 were both keen to go alot further then they would have all ready been at the bay,and if they couldnt get a game at the bay then holy sh#t how good must the glenelg juniors be.

[Sorry Dude]

well they both would have been playing U/19's and the mighty bays took out the GF. a bit dissapointing about the top squad though. but there is always '09

[asert]

johnny mack just wanted to play 18s with his mates last year played most of the year before in the 2s with a handful of a grade games he,d def be the option if thats what he wants

[asert]

difference with brighton to most other teams is people are there os they want to be not for money most of the players play for club dollars to spend over the bar. to pick up players you have to spend money and thats not what we are about

isnt that the same reason that young bodey from m/vale was getting hung for earlier in the season.

i wouldve thought if mcintosh was playn 16s for the bombers then he would have been elegible for 17s surely

[Sorry Dude]

yeah but can you blame them when a club starts expecting to much of them when they just want to have a kick and catch. but it is a catch 22 situation in the fact you want to blood your young talent but when they only want to play with there mates what are you to do. you cant say play or we will banish you from the club. because then you are getting rid of a quality player.

[asert]

good on him you can only play junior footy for so long and we do play footy for fun. shame so much talent went to waste but hey i think he is wasted playing a grade he should be playing much higher but as i said footy is about having a kick with your mates to me

well that is true but i am not from brighton so i wouldnt know what the situation was it is just my opinion.

I agree totally with ya mate,it was just all the other nobs on this forum giving young bodey sh#t for wanting to play with his mates.

[asert]

na if it wasnt fun we wouldnt do it would we. good on him.

[Sorry Dude]

that is for sure. i definately wouldnt say no to having him out playing for us. i might have to try and talk him into it.

[the big bang]

give it a crack HH!!

[Sorry Dude]

he is friends with my brother in law. but it would be a very hard task.

Good to see some action from some Bomber supporters on here with ASERT and KEY DEFENDER.

No truth in targetting a gun forward. We could do with another genuine tall to help Brooky in the Ruck which will allow us to settle our front and back ends a little more.

Jim McIntosh played Under 14 in 2007 under the old rules so 2008 was his only year in the Under 16. He'll be Under 18 next year. He did play some Glenelg Under 17 this year but mostly got picked when the college kids weren't playing. He would have been a gun Under 17 next year but not sure where he will be rated as far as SANFL Under 18 goes. Its hard to work out Under 17 and Under 19 some times. I think SANFL clubs still are obsessed with the athletes on the chance they could get drafted which means $$$$$. Now with Under 18, some Sacred Heart kids would have already left school and they only need half the players they did for 19's and 17's, so local clubs should benefit from this.

Johnny Mac (who kicked his 100th goal in last quarter of U/18 GF) is the nicest lad you'll ever meet and just loves the Bombers and doesn't seem too fussed with higher honours. He did play a little bit of Seniors in 2007 but mostly Under 18. We decided to keep him in Under 18 in 2008 to avoid putting too much pressure on him. History shows with our club that an Under 18 flag gives lads so much more confidence with their entry into Seniors so we wanted to keep this side more stable in 2008, which paid off.

Grape Ape saw some facebook pics of the talent on show at the bomber's B&F. You blokes should seriously consider pointing some of this talent out to potential recruits. Could well seal the deal!! Wow! You lucky bastards.
