They had a lot of good players out today. We weren't far off full strength.

Im just thinking that after their last season that they would rather forget, it will take more than a handful of players to be considered top three.

May be wrong and if so good on em.

There's 2 things I know. How to piss woman off and Football. I watched both Brahma v Houghton today then ventured to Gumeraca the watch Smithfield v Gums and my assessment is simple. Smithfield are even better than I thought they were. Super quick, Super skilful and beat Gums by plenty. With at least 5-6 that I know of out. Brahma were nearly full strength and got done by a div 7 side.

High lights what I've been saying for ages, It's Smithfield (Daylight) then a very even 4 teams behind them in order for mine West Croydon, Trinity, Lockleys then Brahma.

I'm with Tomo. Brahma to struggle. Smithfield dominators

I was under the impression that Brahma have at least 10 blokes back from their div 4 grand final side. Is that not the case?

If it was the case the last half of the side would drop away pretty quickly if you dont think they would be the top threat in div 6. I know that their depth was non existant last year but with the list of ins you would expect that would improve.

Maybe it's just because I havent seen smithfield yet but I cant see how a side with that many div 4 grand finalists shouldnt finish top in div 6.

the grounds are damn hard as i found out yesterday when i foolishly accepted a chance to play an AFL masters game..

Brahma will surely be good this year, but from what I saw yesterday they need ALOT of quality to come back in to dominate the division like people have been saying they will.

Smithfield by a country mile IMO. I don't think people quite realise just how good they were last year...

Is anybody training at Smithfield?

Heard numbers on the track haven't been that great. Might be some fitness issues early in the season?

You were optimistic yesterday Zed when I asked you how you will pull up, has this changed?

Just quietly as we discussed that Great Southern team were pretty impressive and I have no doubt they would beat some div 5 and 6 reserves teams.....
