HFL Division 1 (Central)

[the joker]

theres a rumour filtering around that cameron marlow and luke stephenson are going to be co playing coaches for MT lofty C grade any truth to that

[bernie]

Marlow could possibly play....He'd be extremely difficult to tackle in his gimp suit. How do you get a hold of someone in latex!!??
And when he ran out onto the field they could say "Release the Gimp!"

From moi's point of view (in order):
Uraidla-Gem of an oval on a sunny day, top surface.
Lofty- Lot better than the old days, holds up under the weather ok, a few potholes. Just watch out for the balcony.
Onkas-Good surface, good space, sometimes gets a bit rough towards season end. Been a finals oval for years.
Hahndorf-Not bad barring the trough along the outside.
Lobey-Gone downhill lately but the space is great, sorts out the non-running sides of the comp.
Blackwood-Looks great but has sneaky patches of sinking, foul smelling mud, think Lofty's Wood drowned there last yr.
Ironbank-Surface is ok but you can kick a goal from the opposite goal square, and distractions occur from the netball courts.
Birdwood-Stuart O'Grady rides there during the footy off-season.
Barker- Bring your spade and pail because it is a sandpit, finals last year were a trek through the sahara.
Bridgey-Mud pies in the bath. After rescusitation post-Blackwood Woody sunk and drowned here as well.

loby in far better condition this year than last,can build sandcastles on barker and i think i saw ian thorpe swimming on bridgey last year with libby lenton fetching the ball out th creek

[Cougar]

Out on a limb - Balhannah.
Lobey - too big, but surface used to be good.
Never played there, but I heard that Milang was a CRACKER.

Milang was the best going around (you could bounce a footy on it in August). Probably because it was the only HFL oval not in the Hills.

[ronburgandy]

milang is by far best oval to play on in hills.
lofty oval is looking cherry ripe but still horrible to play on with the big hill climb!

[Tex]

heard tonight that ryan hunter was kicked out of hime by his old man for being a pisshead.
its funny that he was still livin at home cos he must be 30 at leest.
hes playing for meadows cos thats were he lives now and theirs lots of piss there him to chung. pint a kick for hunsee?

Fonz, i think all the cock you've smoked over the years is seriously affecting your pea brain!!!

[Justquietly]

So, news from the selection tables?
I assume Kluzek is lining up for Bridgey.
Any forwards back for Lofty?

from all reports kluzek is in. the boys arte very excited as he is a top bloke and sure add a bit of fire power to the side.
also a new recruit may be playing in a bit of pain for lofty on the wend. no names as don't wont to give the injury away. looks like the club doctor is very busy at lofty!

The Devils are looking fine.

We are just resting key players for September!

So no major 'ins', DA?
If it's a clear night, this SHOULD be a % game for the Devs.

Nah, got NFI mate, just bored on my last day of work.

I'm out of the loop these days. The only news is the B grade runner was cut last night. May affect his performance on Saturday. I'll have a special drinks bottle on the side for him!

[the wonder elephant]

ins and outs armytank ?

[Armytank]

One change in the A's, Slobber back from the flu

[devilsadvocate]

Gotta say, you Thunderers have some cracking nicknames!

Slobber, Ballsy, Redmuff, Seaweed, Spiros.

Love your work.

Better than Uraidla where everyone has the same surname!

Would have to agree about Milang, and Callington used to be very good, but it has degenerated badly, and last year the surface was very sparce. I enjoyed Echunga and Maccy until they got very wet (last year Maccy stood up well all year).

[the wonder elephant]

not to mention adro eh armytank.......

Good to see someone compliment Maccy as there has been some peanuts on here saying that the facilities at Maccy are shit when in reality the changerooms and complex would be amongst the best in the Country Division and better than a lot of clubs in the Central Division.
Admit that the oval still needs some work but we're not alone in that regard.

Maccy isn't all that flash, change rooms are up to scratch with HFL standards, however who had the stupid idea of having the change rooms and the coaches boxes on opposite sides of the oval, just quietly the chips and gravy are terrible too. Otherwise no complaints from me :p

[Rapper]

Lofty:
In: Gordon, Bawden, Stapleton, Chapman.

Not sure who is out.

A couple of handy names back.

Go u Devils

They're certainly far superior to Birdwoods.
