RFC, I have No beef whatsoever with Reynella. If Brian Rowe had have offered me another $20 a game in 1977 I would have played there. For a strong and Iconic footy club in the SFL they just haven't delivered the goods in A grade during the special times in September. I just point that out a bit and generally someone takes the hook. Peter Jacques reckons the juniors do it to easily and win because there is just weight of numbers.
Of course there are a few blokes at our club who have played under Early when he was coaching down this way and it always comes up how the little villages of McLaren Vale, McLaren Flat and Willunga could win against the big towns of Reynella and Morphett Vale....and win on the big day in September. There is a story that I have heard a couple of times and then a couple of times more, about Early who got absolutely smashed one day and got up and kept playing and told the trainers he was going to walk off so the other side didn't know that they had hurt him pretty bad.....It was a broken leg or collar bone.
Yep involved with McLaren. Between McLaren and Willunga we have won the last 7 premierships in the GSFL
