Whyalla Football League

[-Outsider-]

i also see that a bloke from whyalla has applied for a clearance to solomontown. He may be a forward? Cameron Edey.

Good young midfielder. Don't know about his off-field issues and whether he has beaten those demons, but he was a promising junior.

From what i've seen of him he wouldn't be a key forward target nor a starting midfielder i wouldn't think in a quality team but would be a very very dangerous forward flanker maybe having a run threw the middle or a wing. The boy can play if he wants!

What about a mid-season review!

West: Undefeated says it. If Nowak is leaving, could cost them more than most think. Too much ball winning to be done by Sawford and Smith.

North: Have pushed West both times, probably a more balanced and traditional side than West. I think will lose to Roos tomorrow.

Roopena: Very bad start to the year but older fellas starting to get hungry again. IF Oliver, Smith and Grund return over the coming weeks, expect a completely different Roopena for the run in.

Central: Might scrape fourth. In a rebuilding stage but doubt they can win a flag in the near future.

South: Are playing better football than last year, hard work by Hole paying off. Their 17s and 14s are struggling considering they have won the last 2 u/14 flags. Where have they gone??

Weroona Bay: Struggling . If the three players that are looking to jump ship stay, I can see them coming home and taking fourth.

Goal Kicking: Nathan Covino (West)
Whyalla News Medal: Dean Storic (Roopena)
Grand Final: North Vs Roopena

Who else is rumored to be leaving? And did many others leave other than Gary Hoffman leave the club last year after their disgraceful performance GF day last year?

M Geddes to Sth Whyalla. Apparently paying him a fair bit of coin.

Couple of surprises yesterday. Not the results but the margins. North only beat South by 2 goals and West only beat Central by about 3 goals. Collison 7 for Central in a losing side.

The sporting pulse results page/ladder for Whyalla is all over the place!

Watched the North game and that was a painful game of football to watch. North kicked I think 1 goal 15 after quarter time and were lucky to get away with the win. South closed within a kick at about the 5 minute of the last quarter after piling on a couple of quick goals.

North played something like 7 kids under 18 years old so those young guys would have benefited from the experience.

What is going on at Roopena?

I heard the great man Robbie Brereton, there since the club's beginning in 1968, has been overthrown as president and subsequently been voted off of the club's senior committee!

New president is Harry Marks, who has been there, done that before.

I have nothing against Harry, but why would you oust one of the club's most loyal servants off the senior committee, especially when he has done so much to get the club where it is today? Or am I missing the full story there?

Josh Parker did.

The bloke is brilliant, huge left foot. come runner up in the Whyalla news Medal a few years back and missed the last few games with a broken wrist. The only problem is that like Edey and the rest of the players at the club when the chips are down they are nowhere to be seen which is why i'd say he's leaving.

I hear there's talk of you taking your talents down to Victor Harbor next year Onsong...

Exactly right outsider. Josh Parker can be the most brilliant player in the league. Prolific ball getter and goal kicker. Inherited the mental issues that come with footy at weeroona bay, Geoff Appleton and a few others aside.

JP never got a kick on K Grund

[straight talker]

what goes on at weeroona bay? do they not pay there players is that why they are leaving?

Nothing to do with money. Its 100% a culture problem at the club

[straight talker]

ok are they full of bad eggs are they? from the people in charge down? it seems a lot of players have left the club.

Greg Klassen was a great bloke, probably 2nd best to come out of Weeronna Bay.

[straight talker]

klaasen yes he was a ripper! the bloke could play footy from what i seen of him in pirie. i went and seen parker play for sollies and the lad looked like he could play thats for sure, if i was solly coach or board member i would be fighting to get his signature for next season thats for sure.
