Well I think a particular club should have a look at themselves - a young fella who wants to have a kick somewhere else spoke to the coach got told he would be cleared but was disappointed with his decision to leave admittingly done late, totally understandable - now president steps in after having a talk with the player and wont do anything till after saturday - I think it is pathetic - he spoke to the club now they are being bushPIG headed.
Only makes people not want to return to your club - costing a young fella a kick not on - the exit clause used and ignored.
Anyway bring on Saturday Round 1 - good luck to all sides this weekend - except Morphett vale

I agree, very poor form

Love and be loved
One quarter at a time
It's a game of two halves
I think the winner will be the one with the most goals
Do to others as one would like done to ones selves

As round 1 is just around the corner, I'll make some predictions for season 2010.


Aldinga: Will be a very, very long year for the Sharks starting this week. Unfortunately with numbers already sparse and the addition of some mammoth beatings, I can see the possibility of the side being pulled mid season. The loss of 3 of their shining lights in Scott March, Scott Hunt and Liam Shrive, and with no quality additions with see enthusiasm and excitement levels drop off very quickly at Shark Park.

"shining lights"? marchy didnt play a full game at all last year, and probably only suited up for 5 games. and only played 8 games in '08.....7 of which were in the B's.

and losing scotty hunt was a big loss on paper, but only played 3 or 4 games with us last year due to being out at south.

and liam shrive? never heard of him

[MR JUICY]

Haha Liam Shrive never heard of him - love your sarcasm!

cove v aldinga - cove 124 pts

and for the record medal winner norsworthy

Me also thinks that the comp wont change much this year still be floggings but top teams will have to work harder for them. The bottom side are on the right track but it will take more than 1 pre season to become more competative. The ladder wont change much the only likley moves will be towns to drop out of top 8 with noarlunga,flaggies and marion the only ones with the chance to fill the spots.

[GO THE PUNT]

The all mighty morphett vale should have enjoyed last year gf as they will not be appearing in it this year. For me it will be the flies and the bombers to play that role. In my opinion the flies would have won last year if they didnt have to come up against a team that was on a mission to change the previous years result. The biggest loser this year is the towns for me as their b grade had it easy last year and the depth will be shown up this year.

[GO THE PUNT]

Hey mr j not good news about the 18's as it was looking good for the u18's comp this year. Correct me if im wrong but ther would have been 13 teams in this grade which is almost getting to the set up yhe sfl needs.

[GO THE PUNT]

Now im dribbling sh#t the 100th post is coming up. Not much talk about c grade is it going to be an better comp this year?

[GO THE PUNT]

Yes Yes thats it 100 post. Not all have been quality ones but still had some good points along the line. I would like to thank my typing teacher from year 9 for introducing me to the typewriter which has led me into the world of computers.

As round 1 is just around the corner, I'll make some predictions for season 2010.

Ladder:

Morphett Vale: The benchmark of the competition and with some quality ins will again take out the premiership in 2010. The recent lost of Craig Smith will leave a hole down back, but one they no doubt will be able to cover.
Brighton: Will be the big improvers this year, and anything less than a GF appearance (and win) should be seen as a massive failure down at Bomberland. Quality recruits up forward should be the final piece in the puzzle.
Reynella: Will again be around the mark. With the additions of Ware, Billings and co they will be hoping to go one better than last year, but unfortunately I think they'll miss out on the grand prize once again.
Cove: Will improve from last year as the GF hangover has well and truely worn off. Have the talent to push the whole way if the passion and desire is back.
Happy Valley: Made the prelim last year and have improved their list. Can't see them being serious contenders for the flag but will trouble some of the teams in the top 4. Scott Mackenzie the key.
Marion: With all the talk of recruits anything less than a top 6 finish should be considered a wasted season. May take the new boys a while to gel but should improve as the season wears on. The fitness of Brad Smith and the availability of Wes Bilney will determine the Rams fortunes.
Noarlunga: As above with Marion. After missing the finals last year will be desperate to give them a real shake this year. Will have a forward target with the recruitment of Matt Golding and should get some good footy out of the other Edwardstown recruits.
Port Noarlunga: Losing their best player in Travis Tedmanson will hurt them greatly, but adversity always seems to get the Cockledivers up and running. Im tipping them to over-achieve with their current list and just sneak into the 8.
Morphy Parks: Early season concerns with very few numbers out at pre-season could come back to bite them in the butt later in the season. A couple of outs and losing last years mail medalist will be a massive blow. Have a height advantage over a lot of sides and could trouble a couple of sides further up the ladder when conditions suit.
Flagstaff Hill: The loss of their best player in Daniel Butcher will leave a massive whole in their forward line. Never been noted to kick big scores and his depature will only compound this. Will be young again but have to step up eventually. Unfortunately I can't see this year being the year for the Falcons.
Edwardstown: Giving Golding the flick could end up being Edwardstown's biggest regret. This decision has lead to a mass exodus, but they will be hoping depth in the B grade can cover some of the loses. Proud club, but can only see them slipping from 2009 performances.
Chrisites Beach: Its been very quiet from the Christies Beach camp since the end of 2009. Can see them being around the same quality as last year but a tougher draw will see them slide on the ladder.
OSB: Have a quality in with the return of Ashley Baxter from South and from all reports the club has enjoyed a solid pre season workout. Have a few guns in Ash Baxter and Gary Dean, but overall the quality isn't there and the lack of depth throughout the B grade will mean a longer year if injuries hit.
Hackham: Will enjoy their first multiple win season in many, many years. I believe they will only beat Aldinga twice but will push OSB on the occasions when they meet. Their two best players in Blake Mosar (if still there) and Matt Paine will need some more help if they are to be competitve against other opposition.
Aldinga: Will be a very, very long year for the Sharks starting this week. Unfortunately with numbers already sparse and the addition of some mammoth beatings, I can see the possibility of the side being pulled mid season. The loss of 3 of their shining lights in Scott March, Scott Hunt and Liam Shrive, and with no quality additions with see enthusiasm and excitement levels drop off very quickly at Shark Park.

A thorough description, some interesting reading.
Well done

If Ryan can become a better knock ruckman and get his hands to the ball in the middle i agree. last year his votes came from his long kicks and possies around the ground.

Are you saying Reynella were not on a mission to erase there very poor finals record of the last 10, 15 or 20 years??
They just came up against a superior side!!

Another reason to not listen to her dribble IMHO. She has the worst voice!!

[Bag The Points]

Wineflies over Port ---- 50 points (definitely too hot for Port at this stage)
Bombers over Flagstaff --- 40 points
Shoes over Lions --- 60 points
Cove over Sharks --- 150 points (total mismatch)
Emus over Rams ---- 20 points (Marion looking a better chance the more I think about it)
Valley over Hawks --- 70 points (Hawks will be more cometitive this year, but Vikings much too classy for them)
Towns v. Twisties --- toss-up. I'll try Towns by a couple of goals
