We all know Southern Districts will start favourites here but how does your Zone look? On this thread I thought it would be interesting to post your ideas and opinions about players, Zone's, venues, umpires etc.
I'll start by saying I've seen the Central Zone squad and it contains 39 Hills Districts players!
Eleven from APFL, eight from NEFL, 14 from YPFL. Justin Zwar from Moonta is coach

Eyre Peninsula will be without a few from injuries, and realistically, it'll be the same old EP come the Champs... Ordinary on the first day, win their game on the last against the other struggler...

I'd expect the bolded players to get a game, and Neilsen if he wants to play, not sure if he'd be keen though.

Yeah I know what you mean OS. Count 'em up and add 39!

Neilsen too old for this level these days and Storic carrying an injury according to Steel City rumour mill

He tells me he's keen to play. So I would be surprised. Storic is always carrying an injury. Lol

Bank mate, Ironbank.

But seriously that is a huge squad!

dont know how strong the Eastern Zone will be this year. Have heard that players that didnt m ake themselves available for the Riverland Interleague have not been invited to participate - some Players this would effect include Andrew Backmann / Ryan Bennett / Jamal Liddle / pete Smith / Michael Bratton.
Interesting call!!!

Good call though. if you refuse to represent your league, why should you be rewarded by being able to represent your zone? Might make a few of these boys pull their finger out next year.
