HFL Division 1 (Central)

[Cheap Seats]

Richard’s gone to Border Districts.

Is there a salary cap in that league?

Not one that any of the Teams follow.

Talking of salary cap

Heard a whisper that Blackwood dont know that you can only really have 1 marquee player

[Toto]

Who have they picked up?

Lofty and Nairne seem to be doing pretty well on the recruiting. Grundy is a good get for the devils! Powell back to Nairne is massive. Brother in law played with Greenbank down the South East and said he was a gun!

Be handy if they could merge their ovals to make a decent sized one and parking. All the best to them though, going to be a tough ask for the first few seasons with the outs they both have. But good on them for having a crack at salvaging themselves and staying in division 1.

That would be nice! Believe most home games will be at ironbank other then a rival game or two for Bridgey. Going to be a battle this season no doubt but hopefully in the long term it all works out. Well done to everyone on both sides for there efforts.

Most games will be at Ironbank. Training will be at Ironbank. Will be a predominantly Ironbank side by the looks.

[cracka]

Jessie O'Brien back to Onkas apparently

[Hills Hound]

Any insights on how clubs are travelling through pre season?

I'm sure that most would think that all things are largely on track or better than last year, that's just the nature of pre season but who do we think will be the big improvers?

Anyone willing to stick their neck out and put their ladders together in mid Feb?

Hills Hound, I will have a crack at a ladder!

Hahndorf
Lobethal
Uraidla
Nairne
Blackwood
Mt Barker
Mt Lofty
Onkas
Bridgewater/Ironbank
Echunga

Still reckon Hahndorf and Lobethal are at the pointy end then a mix of about 4-6 teams quite equal and then the rest. But what would I know, no form to go on and now that we cant see who is in/out on the transfer front its really a big guess

Willing to stick your neck out though Wazza, love it.

I think you're right, Hahndorf definitely still at the pointy end.

Lobey will be interesting to see how they shape up with a couple of guys leaving and a few of their better players in the twilight of their careers. Does winning a flag dull the appetite as well? I expect they will finish in the mix but not be a genuine contender.

Uri with a new coach is an interesting one. Haven't gained much from all reports but Cooper Nykamp will help. Haven't lost much either though.

Nairne should show progress, recruited well.

Think Barker is a big big threat. Expect them to be top 3.

Onkas to improve but maybe starting too far back.

Blackwood are hard to read but expect mid table.

Echunga? No idea.

Lofty to be in the finals convo. Young group that should improve again. Could be a sneaky prelim chance.

Bridgewater/Ironbank.. not expecting too much too soon

Lobethal looking for a new coach.

TJ gone already?

[B&F]

Also hearing Mt Barker coach gone as well.

Also hearing Mt Barker coach gone as well.

Was reported in the Courier yesterday.

Have heard the same info regarding Lobey.

Lobethal looking for a new coach.

TJ gone already?

Might not have realised he was just meant to be a figurehead when he accepted the role.

[wazzal77]

Imagine trying to coach two big personalities who were previous coaches at Lobey? Would be like herding cats, uncontrollable.
