So FootyMad, still dissapointed you didn't get the Seaton job?

Hey this wouldn't be the same lemon Andy Graham from Kilburn formerly of Aldinga now of Kilburn? You should stick to worrying about not getting relegated again rather than the Seaton job muscles.

[FOOTYGODS]

Hey Jingles, how is Hamsy going i hear you know him pretty well,has he learnt how to handball yet hahaha, Matt Thomas coaching anywhere i hear he has gone for every job under the sun, Andy24 you should really concentrate on getting a kick your side needs someone too...

Do you actually know me or just read that off another thread?

Looks like we're in the same boat mate. From what I hear you blokes are struggling. I don't mind copping my share of crap but Fudd come on. You're hardly successful at the moment are you?

Anyway, pretty hard to get a kick in December.

[Grape Ape]

Are fudd and FM the same person?

[FOOTYGODS]

No Grape Ape, and Andy we should play you guys in a trial game we could use some confidence heading into the season... And playing Kilburn we would get a lot of that...

[FootyMad]

No we're not the same, I'm better looking for a start.

[FOOTYGODS]

yeah but i do better with the TARTS hahaha

[FootyMad]

You are a TART! Plus you tale more extreme measures than me!

[FOOTYGODS]

someone has too hahaha, but i have to admit now i have shut it down mate, call me about the last weekend in March when we are playing you guys i have some good ideas...

[FootyMad]

Good ideas? Like what, dont lose?!

[Grape Ape]

[GWW]

Dudley United FC of the KIFL has approached Yankalilla about a possible merger after several island clubs have moved to limit the number of ‘import’ players allowed in any one club.

Dudley United has been the dominant side in the KIFL for the past decade thanks in part to it’s foreign legion of players who, owing to the clubs proximity to transport, travel to the Island each week and contribute as many as twelve players to the eagles line up. The club has had an impressive run of premierships broken only by the powerhouse Wisanger side of ’05 (who were somewhat a one-hit wonder).

In a move reminiscent of Port Adelaide’s first attempt at joining the AFL, the Dudley United FC is looking to snub the local league in search of greater challenges. It is believed that Yankalilla is seriously contemplating the merger thanks to it’s close links with the KI club and the fact that the injection of quality players such as Clayton Wilson (Yank, Southern Districts), Nev Clark (Morphetville Park, Willunga) , Brodie Howard (Port Adelaide, Mt Compass), Adam Waller (Sacred Heart OS) and other ex-pats not currently playing with the eagles would go a long way to making the Tigers a top five side.

The only concession that the Tiger’s would need to make is giving up several home games that would be played at Dudley United’s ground in Penneshaw. The cost of transport for the travelling side would be covered by the clubs major sponsor Sealink. The only issue for Dudley is what to do with their existing reserves and junior sides on KI.

The idea of entering a combined KI “Crows” team in the GSFL was entertained in the early 90’s. The original plan was to take the best players from the KIFL and enter a side in the GSFL. This would mean dropping the local ‘A’ grade competition, leaving each club with one senior side and thereby alleviating the current player shortage. (The KIFL plays 16 a side). The idea was rejected by the GSFL due to the logistical issues of travelling to the Island and the reserves and junior sides left behind (although I’m sure that some would appreciate the bye).

The move by Dudley United may force the KIFL to take another look at the idea given that a merger seems to remedy the concerns of the GSFL. A ‘KI Crows’ team would enable a legitimate pathway for the juniors of the other four clubs. Without such a pathway, the remaining KI clubs are now in danger of being left behind.

Seriously will any teams in the GSFL welcome the idea of traveling to the island for a saturday?
Thats a long road trip for the likes of the creek and strath!

[Andy #24]

Free trip to KI sounds alright, only have to do it once a year.

[Grape Ape]

Realistically, most teams wouldn't have to do it. It would only be 2 or 3 exhibition games to keep the Dudley connection but hey, the travelling club could make a weekend of it. Nothing wrong with a mid-season footy trip.

[BJ Ernest]

I know of a player at Willunga that would want to get over there and catch up with relatives and get some more of that milk he gets delivered!

It seems like a good idea, will it end the KIFL except for that one team? Would KI provide juniors for the Yank/Dudley side?

Not sure how recruits from the other side of town would feel about it, parents of kids having to ship there kids over there to play a game of footy in the 14s? That could pose problems!

[LuvsFooty]

Being the closest league to KI, I think the GSFL has a small obligation in helping to keep KI footy 'alive'. I know we have our own issues but we cant just sit on our hands. I am sure that there would be at least 3 teams willing to make the trip to KI.

[Grape Ape]

That player wouldn't be Micky Conlan would it BJ?

The plan wouldn't change the current Yank or Dudley juniors/reserves structure. Put simply, it's a case of Dudley's A grade player's playing in the GSFL for Yank.

The reality is that if the KIFL brings in the import rule this would be the likely result anyway. This way Dudley retains a connection with those players.

So, no the other KI sides wouldn't provide juniors for the Yank/Dudley team but a lot would be attracted to Dudley given the opportunity to play in a more prestigeous league. You could draw a parallel with the Aldinga juniors who moved to Willunga during the div 2 Southern days.

[cuzzy]
