Darren Nenke was an All Australian school boy.

Is he still teaching at Trinity?

[dinglinga]

whos that magpiespower

Fransky, Milesy

imagine doing a all time list of those that played CDFA and went on to league/afl footy...

[Pag]

Haha, yes, give it to Franksy, with Robbie a very close second.

[Dogwatcher]

crikey - CDFA. There's a blast from the past.

[smac]

MP, there were a number of other top players at Salisbury in the same era as Barry Pilgrim - most of whom could have played league footy but opted to win 4 premierships in a row at Salisbury (68-71), one was Neville Thorp (League umpire).

Add to the list: Stephen Hay (North, 1980's), David Green (Central 1980's/1990's I think), Mick Walters (Central 1980's - about 10 minutes of the most explosive footy I have ever seen!), Ian Deraugo (Central 1980's), Mark Prior (Central A **** long time).

Like MP, I cannot remember them all.

The best player in the Hills fotball league is a toss up, it is either Marc Farmer from the hahndorf magpies because of his superior fitness and his agility an speed, he just used to get it and run, i love that in a player. Or Leon Maxwell for his brut strength around the packs, an his general antics after kicking a major

[bobby davis]

yeah ive seen some speedy characters in my time, but farmer would have to be up there...also brett "ankles" with his superior body mass and strength, particularly the strength he possesses in his ankle area...an outstanding footballer...but not so outstanding in the ladies department lets just say he isnt too easy on the eye

[magpie in the 80's]

i wouldnt name those two players as hahndorfs best players in the club. leon was a very limited skilled footballer. he mainly ran around or through packs trying to take players out. the only thing you got right is his antics after a goal or a bad umpire decision. he was really only a good solid b grader when hahndorf was at full strength. that was when i played there from 1973 to 2000 and i was regular a grader from 1978 to 1990

[dale]

Yeah ur probably right. What are your thoughts on Farmer???

[magpie in the 80's]

i might be hard but i would say he has the ability to be a very good player

[dale]

Magpies in the 80s did u play in the 2000 grand final? If yes what position?

[Pohls Nosecavitie]

Iv'e seen some crackin' players in my time, but none of them compare to the late david abernethy. Lightning off the mark, reads the play like a book, but he has long since departed from the club, and they have yet to find a replacment of his caliba

[dash61]

Gaza Recruits

1) A Jarman
2) D Jarman
3) C Ladhams
4) Paul Nobes (played a couple of reserves game at norths plus off course cricket for SA)
5) Adam Saliba
6) Jason Blair

[magpie in the 80's]

no i didnt dale

[dale]

What is your name, I have some contacts at Hahndorf so i might no you??

[magpie in the 80's]

you could be one of our best players from our club (hahndorf) dale if you continue to perform and stay at a league club. other than that i would say richard hill (sturt) premiership 76

[dale]

In all honesty of my years watching football at hahndorf, i wood say the best player wood be a toss up between three players, Randall Pearce, Matt Cooper, or Shane Grimm, Grimmy had a big frame and for the big game he was enormous for us, kicking 9 in the grand final in 2001 that takes some doing!!!!

[magpie in the 80's]

morning dale i would agree with these 3 players compared to your last 2

Barnaby French won two B+F's in the seniors at Ironbank at the age of 17 and 18 before being drafted by Port.
