Darcy Hourigan would have to be one of if not the best power forwards in SA country footy?? Bloke is a monster and rarely misses.

Nah Cheney wouldn’t have signed as a ‘player’, he would be the ‘canteen manager’ or ‘bar manager’ wouldn’t he?......

I don’t think Nairne have come up for the seniors, from what I’ve heard their senior players were selfless in voting 100% to go up for the better of the club in the long run, letting the juniors play against the best opposition and further their skills, they could have easily voted against and won ...

Onkas beat Encounter bay by 10+ goals, Mount Barker played Barossa Districts at Williamstown, Nairne beat Imperials in the bridge by 100+ apparently.

GF to be held at Lobethal and not the Summit. For once I actually commend the league office for its transparency and explanation as to why, it makes total sense to anyone that has been there. What I cannot believe is the absolute lack of responsibility by the Mount Barker council to invest in it to ...

2 big games to shape the 5 this week in what’s been a pretty predictable season from about round 3 with the top 5 being 10+ goals better than the rest.
I think Uraidla beat lofty who’ll lose their 4th on the trot and could let the double chance slip!
Onkas can push their name forward for that spot ...

I think Nairne in both grades in closer games.
Onkas by 4 goals in the A grade
Blackwood by 5+ goals in the rezzies
So agree!

Both Terlich and Amato got ahold of Lofty in a big win. They come in to Hahndorf full of confidence. Not sure I’d like to be playing Hahndorf after being touched up for the first time in a long time. Weather looking incredible for a big prelim!!!

I don’t blame them. Howard lane is their home and has their soul. Joke how the council and government have dealt with it.

What are Kilburn? D4? Hell Echunga aren’t flash but I’d say they should still deal with a D4 Ammo’s side Scottroo….HFL D1 is well above D4 ammos mate.

How good would a “Best of” tournament be? 2 Grand finalist from GSFL, BLGFA, HFL D1, SFL and even RMFL in a round robin comp. 2x 20 minute halves.

It'd be brilliant, would sort out bragging rights too! I reckon it'd be as good as the Country Champs, if not better.

I agree. Scrap the country ...

Apologies guys that was a typo, definitely meant to say D1. Pressed the wrong number…. Hahaha

May having a crack at Sturt and Athelstone if he doesn’t make it. Works with Mitch Grigg I believe. I’d imagine he will walk in to a rezzies Sturt side with his height and ability to play just about anywhere, then it depends on their list depth if he gets to a league game.

Yeah have heard tripodi ...

Yes rotation policy has been implemented like most other leagues. I believe it is actually being hosted by Mount Lofty this year as going in alphabetical order beginning from Mount Barker last year. That’s what I have heard.

Let’s be honest, it should be hosted at the summit and done up properly ...

A dump tackle in a marking contest? By their new laws, that’s the definition of a cardable offence. Yes I said dump tackle in a marking contest, that’s exactly what happened and why a free kick was awarded. Few butt hurt Lobey people after selling the farm (or building sheds) for Charlie and not ...

Jaensch to Riverton from Nairne who were a very impressive side knocking Hahndorf off twice in the finals to win the HFL D1 flag. Got a cannon of a left foot and I think he will enjoy the bigger drier decks out your way. Handy get for Riverton.

Yeah 36-37 I'm guessing. Seen him play a couple times this year, always the first bloke to get his hands on it, and quickest hands around. Gives nairne first use at every contest.
The fella that come runner up is really young to I think, he's a bull of a midfielder if I'm thinking of the right one ...

I believe that Mount Barker do pay a lease fee. If I was them I’d be going back to their home next year.

As a completely neutral observer (HFL D1 follower), I am a bit of a country footy nuffie and try and get around to other strong leagues in SA to check things out. From what I have seen although Two Wells are well too strong from APFL they’re still a fair bit off your competition…. Mind you with ...
