Lions & Sollies r a bit quiet either there got nothing or r keepn it close to there chest?? Any1 in the no???

I think both clubs struggle to attract the big players

Lions with the lack of $$$ and Sollies with the recent poor performances. (Price the exception but he is gone now).

k so Lions have no cash it going to b a long way back 4 them. And Sollies have money and no one wants to take it. Which suprises me talkn to a few gd players that have plyed with the cats they enjoyed there time there and gt payed reasonable well.

Well than I hope for Sollies sake they can change that if thats the way the players feel, r we talkn under former coach? And 4 Lions sake they can find some cash. The league dont need clubs struggling...

Got a name?

[Poultry in Motion]

I see where the 2012 fixtures are out in each clubs sportingpulse website.
Those who believe the SGLs points allocation does not level the playing field will be amazed to see Centrals (Premiers) get to play Lions (6th) and Sollies (5th) four times. The Lions on the otherhand get Centrals and Ports (2nd).

Surely this cant be right can it? Centrals kissed on the d1ck by the fairys again!!! Hang on a minute they are the fairys!
Lions would be sh1tty as hell if this is the case.
Why does the SGL always get it so wrong??

[Cella Dwella]

Trent Hoare will be a good in for us this year. Ducks keeping thing quiet about the Whyalla boys. One or two from Lions not out of the question either.
Whats the talk with the other clubs?

I am pretty sure the cats have signed a lad that played in the southern league. Won a mail medal for cummings a couple of years ago.... Can play by all reports.

[Squids]

Well you don't win mail medals without being able to play.



Only one night match for the season? Disappointing because they usually draw a big crowd, Ports v Sollies first game of the year was alright packed. Also no cross town rivalries in the first round...interesting.

clayton millard is his name. he won a mail medal whilst playing for us (cummins kapinnie cougars). SGL is obviously a step up from our league but he is very good.

Why does the SGL always get it so wrong??

Do the SGL have a rolling fixture from year to year so that over a period of a few seasons every team ends up playing each other equal times?

You are probably right there cricketnut. Some would say it is fair in that regard, others would say it does not help the struggling teams when it lines up as it seems to have for this year. A top 3 and bottom 3 split round would go alright.

[FELTUS IS A LEGEND]

word around atm is that former port adelaide premiership player toby "catdog" thurstans has found a job in roxby and has been signed by pancake nose hayes. any truth

Not matter what the SGL schedules there is always going to be a club that isnt happy with the draw, last year South played Lions 4 times, 1 more then every one else and Port played Sollies 4 times, also 1 more then the rest. It usually works out in the wash as most teams change over the off season, Who's to say that Centrals won't crash this year? take Port a couple of years ago, went from plaing in a GF one year to bottom the next

True this could happen but in the modern age of trying to be smart about the financial viability of clubs and a vibrant competition there needs to be consideration given to struggling clubs to give them a leg up. In the AFL you have the draft and salary cap and the fixture is designed to help these clubs too. In local football there is the points system and I believe in leagues with split rounds it presents the opportunity to level the playing field in the fixture also, rather than relying on luck. (Most do this.) Your facts arent quite correct because each club plays two other clubs a fourth time here in the SGL so thats why I think the top 3 teams from the year before could play each other that fourth time and the same with the bottom 3 teams.Centrals, Port, West and South have been consistently in the finals for years.The first three teams are financial enough that they will always be around the mark when it comes to attracting players etc. (Lets face it Souths is only club other than Lions and Soliies that doesnt have pokies which is a fair effort to stay up there.) Yes Port may have dropped off for one year but how long did it take them to recover? Have Lions or Sollies ever been able to do the same in one year?? Im with Cella Dwella, on this one at least, that the SGL could do things better. Just my opinion and without bias. What do others think?
