Heard Downs would struggle to kick over a jam tin these days so not sure about your reference to playing up forward Down&out. Thought with his history of injuries running straight at the ball would be easier on his body. He may have bulked up but still a greyhound last time i seen him.....

Supa veteran a bit tough on his brother as underperforming- Peake haven't been a great team over the years, and I do remember he kicked 10 in an interleague game one year

Exactly!

How often has he reproduced that effort. Toby has got everything and at an early age was in the same representative teams as Jamie and was younger.

I remember playing against their dad, Ronnie and when you beat Peake he was always the last man standing and it almost seemed that he would try harder in a losing team than a winning team. Toby doesn't do that often enough.

One of Jamie's biggest asset's is his football brain and I can see him getting 6 touches for 4-5 goals each week.

Any news on how Lameroo are going to fair this year?

Down&Out · Post by **Down&Out** » Wed Jan 24, 2007 6:18 pm

Must be very tough for Toby- he tends to be the one targetted by opposition each week- and looking through their scorers each week he seems to play a lone hand?
Flying fox does that mean that there is a tie up with Downs and the other players supposedly coming to Peake?

My mail was it is a package deal for later in the season as players involved couldnt play a whole season. maybe peake will be sleeping giants this year? Downs & co will be the biggest signing in Peake in years...lets hope they deliver the goods.

Any names? players of note?

Flyingfox · Post by **Flyingfox** » Fri Jan 26, 2007 2:53 pm

My source tells me Downs may be taking 2 onballers with him....a firey little fellow who is coming back from a knee reco and a fat little fellow who goes by the name of 'Hawk'. If my source is correct these boys will cause some damage in the MFL....

Have you heard anything about them Down&out??

Down&Out · Post by **Down&Out** » Sat Jan 27, 2007 10:03 pm

Not sure fox- Only guess could be Hawkins from Seaton- I think he and Downs are mates- not sure of tie. not sure if he is fat but a season off may not have helped -can find the ball. Fiery fellow is bit tough- Peake could do with a couple of fiery fellows though- prop up there kids a bit!

"Fiery fellow" could be a kid martin dunn- ex sturt. originally from stawell, I think he was also tied up at edwardstown with downs

Flyingfox · Post by **Flyingfox** » Wed Jan 31, 2007 12:23 pm

Yes that is my mail...a package deal of Downs, Hawkins and Dunn. Apparently $1000 per week to put them on the park too.....

Mentioned it on another topic, but have heard Pinnaroo have picked up ex Goodwood Saints & Padthaway key position player and ruckman Heath Boseley.

Played Interleague for KNTFL last 2 years.

Good pick up.

Returning home to help run his old mans business.

can anyone tell me where peake is ? how far from adel. etc. ? how many teams in the comp. ?

Down&Out · Post by **Down&Out** » Thu Feb 01, 2007 12:15 pm

You have some interest in Peake Carey?? 1.5 hours from Adel between Tailem bend and Lameroo.
FF don't know where you get ridiculous prices like that from the only $1000/ week cost for those blokes will be on tape!

Dogwatcher · Post by **Dogwatcher** » Thu Feb 01, 2007 12:27 pm

Teams:

Pinnaroo
Lameroo
Border Downs Tintinara
Peake
Murrayville
Karoonda

Carey - as alluded to elsewhere in this post, the Peake Lions would have to pick up an awful lot of players to threaten finals footy this season. They've struggled for most of the past decade.

It'd be nice to see them up there though.

Sorry mate - I only really know what I read from scores etc.
But for work purposes - I'm hoping to get to know the league a little better this year....we'll see what happens.

Ill give you boys the hot tip, those 70 yr old chicken legs cant compete with the pace of the Mallee league he will be as hopeless as his brother, as for that hack from edwardstown thats coming with him that recon has finiched his career.. mark my word Peake wont get within 20 goal of anyone...

carey · Post by **carey** » Tue Feb 06, 2007 2:46 pm

within 20 goals fo anyone ? thats a big call

Dogwatcher · Post by **Dogwatcher** » Tue Feb 06, 2007 2:47 pm

Carey - how many other recruits are they getting?
Because if there's not a massive influx, they'll definitely struggle.
