Barossa / Light League

[Edgar05]

Tex i can asure you if had witnesses the BL&G in the early 90's you would understand what i was talking about . Back then it's top 4 sides were compared to A1 amatuers standard , these days Adelaide Plains sides are winning trial games against sides in this comp and we have suggestions A5 teams will smash teams in the BL&G eg greenacres v south gawler this weekend.

IMO , the BL&G used to be the best standard outside A1 up until mid to late 90's , since then he has slipped to arguable the most ordinary leagues in SA .

Hafey, I must admit I was an easily influenced youngster back in those times, and it was a great time with the blue and white hoops era preceding the Nuri Tigers dominance. The South Gawler team of 1990 - 1994 would have gone close to knocking off the top A1 side with Eddie Schwerdt, Jeff Brown and the like.

I do disagree however with you concerning it's current status as an ordinary comp, having played in the comp recently (and experienced another league) it is my view that it is still up around the A2/ A3 standard.

South Gawler played Mannum on Saturday. Very disappointing result for the lions - they went down by 13 goals. I suggest this does not bode well for their season... a lack of height was very telling apparently.

13 goals by Mannum ?? wow hasnt the wheels fallen off this comp , Mallala beating Nuri and Modbury smashing Centrals .

The texas rattlesnake was pumping up Gawler Souths tyres last week predicting a finals finish.

Indeed South Gawler were disappointing, i was able to go and watch the game and the end result wasnt 13 goals as suggested by Edgar, it was around 7-8 goals, never the less still a bad result for the lions.

Some good points out of the game was that Gerardis kicked 6 and Bayliss probably had around 40 touches. Lets see how they go this weekend, i am told they are playing Greenacres....

Greenacres will smash the lions this week... alot of ex Kilburn players have followed last years coach... South could be in some trouble this year indeed!!

I would be very, very surprised if South lost to Greenacres...

I would tend to agree with Edgar and 151, i believe Barossa and Freeling would push A1 sides whilst the rest would not look out of place in Div 2...aside from Angaston and Nuri perhaps...

[Hafey]

Ok two teams that are allowed and support 10 imports are going to have decent sides eg Barossa & Freeling .

I can only comment on what i have seen and that's alot of amatuer / country footy over the years , BL&G in 2007 was ordinary at best .

[Texas Rattlesnake]

Fair enough Hafey...i guess we'll see a much more even comp this year.

I'll still stick to my prediction of the lions making the four or at least being there abouts...

[151]

the first year Barossa went top they had 5 imports
last year they had 6
Freeling over same period had 9 and 8
just to clarify
Texas, souths biggest problem has been lack of height and lack of fitness with their on ballers
have they improved in these areas this year

[Hafey]

151 will your beloved Barossa Districts be around the mark again this year now the import rule has been changed ?

The changes could really open the door for clubs like South Gawler , Galwer Centrals and Tanunda to dominate the league again and clubs like Freeling & Barossa to drop by the way side again .

Played in 2 country comps, as well as A1.

Heard today the ex West Adelaide Ruckman now at South Gawler Mathew Lutze cut a tendon in his hand and will miss the first 6 games, Can someone confirm this, Bad luck if it true.

[151]

Hafey
Barossa will play in GF
got a couple of thousand on it if you want, should be enough time for you to save up from your pension

151, once again lack of height will be the lions biggest problem, the inclusion of Bayliss in te midfield seems to strenghten this area along with Bevis, Carapetis (returning from centrals) and then makris or coombs...

[Hafey]

Isnt Ben Halliday playing at South ? surely he would bolster there ruck division .

[Texas Rattlesnake]

Geez i bet the lions wish that rumour were true... but no he is still at Salisbury North

[151]

makris and coombes to slow to unfit, thats what i was saying before
bevis, getting on should be at half forward to bolster attack
Halliday was at Salisbury north last year

[Texas Rattlesnake]

151, i was referring to Aaron Bevis, surely you have him mixed up with his brother...

[Dogwatcher]

Halliday definitely with the Hawks.
I reckon he'd head back to Elizabeth before elsewhere too

[151]

number 7 is the gun
i reckon he should be down forward as well with his brother number 10
thats providing you had enough fit ( not fat ) on ballers not to use him there
what about the ruckman that was there last year before he got himself into strife, is he playing this year

[Texas Rattlesnake]

No/7 Aaron Bevis is on eof the best on ballers in the league...why on earth would you move him?

yes 'that' ruckman will be playing....
