If this is the case maybe they should be recruiting better B Grade footballers and not worry about the A Grade. Encounter Bay will be hard to beat I would have thought after a solid start to their season as well.

McLaren A grade did make finals last year..

I think you would see that mclaren have never dropped A grade players back to play in B grade flags.

I'm thinking the reason McLaren are quite strong in the Reserves (even though they are lower down the ladder in the A Grade), is that the club is located on the fringe of the city, so has a population to draw from. Willunga are obviously strong in the Reserves too, but McLaren perhaps have an advantage of fringe (League) players being prepared to stay around at the club, as it would be easier to make the A Grade side than it would be at Willunga.

Will be good to see the Compass boys in pink :D A few of them would like that.

Not much has been said about their early season form, 3 W's and 1 L in both grades, beating the higher fancied Yank and Creek. Don't recall many tipping them to finish out of the bottom three. What's been the main reasons for early form? Underrated or getting lucky on the day?

If anyone could be predict how 2013 would start they'd be doing quite well. Not a lot had gone as expected so far.

For sure LuvsFooty. Bays look the measuring stick, Willunga look strong and 3 to 10 is a lottery. :D

Strath just knocked off willunga on their home deck by 2 points. fair to say any of the top 5 teams will be in with a real chance come finals.

Good win by us but we lost almost footy legends when we failed to film our b grade goal umpire getting a yellow card!

WOW :o What a round of footy in GSFL today ?
Who would've thought that the 3 teams who have dominated the last 2 seasons, Creeks, Willunga and Yank would ALL LOSE to teams that were cellar dwellers last season ? :shock: :shock:
At this stage, have never known the results to be so unpredictable.
Great for the comp.
Creeks looked back on track in the 1st term against Pongy in the night game at the Creek leading 5 goals to 2 but from then on the lights went out for the Creek and Myponga/Sellicks dominated from there on to take the win 15 - 9 to Creeks 10 -9. Creeks are in serious trouble and would be a big surprise if they even make the 5 the way they are travelling.

just noticed the name Peter Hoban playing for Compass.

is this the Hoban that played state basketball, may have been a delopement player for the 36ers, then quit to play SANFL, maybe WWT?

Correct. Think he played for Henley last year and got named on the interchange in Div 1 team of year. Handy replacement for Baulderstone who was doing great for Norwood before breaking his hand.

Very optimistic there TLM.
Yes, they still have a good spread of past premiership players but they cant do it alone and the 10 or so replacements are simply not the quality or the experience of the 10 that are missing. As a result, such is the strength of the comp, the Creeks are mow struggling to win games and now copping a few injuries to some key players to further undermine their cause.
