Maybe he's just an interesting guy?

Fair call.
I was referring to Jake Baker, who is a good 0 point addition for Kersbrook.
A Macclesfield junior originally who has been at Onkas on & off since the 2018 season.
The family felt that we didn't try hard enough to recruit him at the end of 2023.
No doubt the premiership win of last year would have blindsided them as i seriously doubt they saw that coming but probably made the ill will even worse, if you know what I mean.

We tried a lot harder than the club he ended up at in 2024, put it that way

Ladder Predictions (after finals):

Top three similar to last year, a little bit of movement around the middle

Kangy
Maccy
Echunga
Bridgewater - Obviously a bit of an unknown but some handy recruits
Birdwood

Kersbrook
Meadows
Gum - Hopefully they can field teams every week and be competitive
TV - Still bottom but won't be as bad as last year

Kersbrook have recruited well.

Seems I may have underestimated the Brookers, always something fraught with danger

Going off the new rotation system aren't Torrens Valley hosting the Grand Final this year.

I would hope they are not considering playing a Grand Final on Mount Torrens Oval.

What are the other options for the HFL? would they look to move it to the next club in line? or host at another HFL oval that's suitable to host?

Yeah they were meant to be hosting it, won't be at Mount Torrens. Believe they are looking at swapping with whoever has it next year.

Driven past a couple times recently and looked really green and in good nick for this time of year, but that of course is not getting out onto it to see how it really is.

According to Facebook Williamstown oval offered to host their Mount Pleasant games but the club declined and are looking at other options. Not sure what other options they'd have in the Hills during the middle of winter for ovals that aren't already being played on and chopped up, including Mt Torrens. Springton or Eden Valley would be sentimental but can't imagine the ovals or facilities would be in great nick.

Shame Mount Pleasant won't get used for the GF. It hosted some great GF's in the 80s and 90s.

Birdwood would be next and that last hosted the Nairne V Bridgey mudpit GF 10 years ago.

Good times too going to cricket finals in those years.

Mmhm, watched a few Lenswood premierships as a kid there, generally against either Lobey or Woodside. Good times.
