HFL Division 1 (Central)

Re:Going from past experience, they tend to appear for most leagues around the end of January/start of February

Clearances start 1st february..

Any Uraidla recruits to date to top up this years team and replace R and S Ebert?

out- Luke Thomas to norwood as well.
Although both eberts may not end up at north, from what i'm being told. No in's as of yet

Is that a bit of a concern? Surely they still need to top up, even if they only lose Rocky Ebert and Thomas!

[MONTE CRISTO]

Given Daniel Ebert's age one would think he will be back and not sure Luke Thomas is that good and so reckon the only loss might be Ricky Ebert.

Pretty high on the Broadview hit-list I reckon!

Ricky and Daniel to trial at North, but if that doesn't work out expect them back with their cousin Simon at Uraidla. The 'Darryl Wintle' influence will try hard to get them out at Broadies but blood (and $$$) is thicker than water.

Did u see the Grand final? for a 19 yr old he was close to best on ground... hes very raw but could be anything with his athletic potential.

So if Onkas missed out on the three going to TV have they picked up anyone else? And has this so called 'gun recruit' been named yet?
And if Blackwood missed out on Bowen and Wark does this mean Padroth is their number one ruckman again? He's just about ready for a good paddock if he hasn't already got one foot there already.
I also hear Lofty have hung onto those players rumoured to be going elsewhere but its come at a fair cost to the club. Nothing like your own kind holding the club to ransom, that'll breed a good culture.

Hasn't Padroth moved on?

from what i heard lofty have retained all the players that were offered big coin up the murray league. They have also picked up a few and regained cuting and trigger. If this is true lofty will be top few without a doubt.

I too have heard the Lofty contingent that were bound for the Murray have changed their minds. Even offered to take pay cuts from Lofty to fit in some more recruits.

[MONTE CRISTO]

Jugs - the Eberts are all brothers you wally!

Don't get me wrong, Thomas is a very good Uraidla player but you need to be better than that to play League footy!

Half true from what I've been told. Those guys that were off to the RMFL stayed, Cuttso is to play again but not Trigger. New ruckman, also a young bloke training with North will play for Lofty if not at North and I also heard White & Waite back, but remains to be seen. After probably over-achieving last year I spoke to a Dev and he's very confident about giving it a shake.
Has Eckermann left the Raiders? he was there last year wasn't he?

Is one particular Central Division club beginning to really tread water as to its viability to seriously compete in that competition in 2011? Loss of a number of players, including past recruits, plus a bit of disenchantment off field could unfortunately have long lasting effects ...

Bridgey?

You obviously know more, so cut the crap and spill!

Have heard this too, apparently the Raiders could be in a bit of strife, players leaving, recruits all gone, people who had been involved in the club pulling the pin. That's all along the grapevine though so will have to wait and see what happens!

Hasn't Padroth moved on?

Would say it would depend on his body .... Not like the games gone past him . He never moved that quick even when he was 25. Probably the best 6 foot 3 ruckman going around with no leap

He looked alright in the final against Uraidla.
Especially in the final quarter fight on the far wing.

The fact he doesn't jump means he can last longer in the game.
How old is he?

And can anyone confirm if Cove got their hands on him?

Raiders in strife? Knock me over with a feather. This gets bandied about every year.

I think you will find that White will be staying at Athelstone, Mehta to follow and Wait unsure but probably surfing!
