SAAFL Division 3 & D3R (2012)

[The Little Master]

Got a name for this player?

Very strange move to go to mclarens. Wouldn't be the richest so it's not for the money and they won't be a finals threat? Is he any good or maybe a personal link.

McLaren Eagles and more than just a loss. An absolute quality footballer, either up forward or running through the midfield in rotations. Would easily play D1 and be very, very good. I would suggest more than one club tried to get his signature, but just missed out, after the odd meeting and many phone calls trying to entice him.

As I said mate he is a loss.. He is a fantastic footballer and will be missed but the club couldn't match them. We now move on and with the new blokes we have recruited to the club we focus on 2012. The club is excited about how determined the boys are to make amends to a disappointing finish to 2011 and by the condition a few boys have returned to training in 2012 could be an exciting year for Mitcham.

Cash should not be the only consideration when playing for a football club. Uni students need "jobs", others a house painted or car repaired. Amateur clubs generally will struggle to compete with the ridiculus offers that clubs in the country offer. Amateur clubs need to approach it from several angles if cash is the issue. However will be interesting to see how he goes and also if any more from Mitcham follow.

HH/Hollywood; Who's the player?

SMOSH wrapping up 2011 with our last of four sessions before Xmas, and a few cheeky beers and BBQ on wednesday.

Numbers and enthusiasm has been terrific so far. Brad Finney running a sub 14 minute jetty-jetty run the highlight so far.

Brett Ellis or "Guns" or the great Brett Ellis (depending on which version you want)

[Footy Chick]

I'll take Guns thanks

It's good to see he is looking after himself as well, on and off the track!!

Big loss then. He's a quality player and good bloke too, from when we have played them.

Are the rumours true Pooraka could be losing a couple of their young guns back to Ingle Farm where they originally came from?

Haven't heard this rumour, but the two lads Pooraka picked up a couple of years back in Adams and Naylor from Ingle Farm, Naylor is currently living in Canada so Pooraka won't have him but neither will Ingle Farm. Have heard that Leigh Cooper will be returning. Quality hard in and under footballer. Having Cooper and Long off a half back would be a good running line I would have thought.
The major losses however are key position players. Greaves is full on with work in Perth so he is gone from all I have heard, and Leigh Coghill has hung up the boots. Two keys gone could be hard to cover. Although the smell of deep heat in March can always change a few minds from retiring.

Add that Tommy Derham will either be Playing for the Magpies, or playing cricket in England. IS Adams defiantely A Pooraka players next year then?

Adams is a starter for the bulls. Also believe that big Coghill might be getting itchy feet already and is considering playing one more year. Would be a big loss indeed for the bulls if he dosnt play as is Greaves.

Adams definately resigned at Pooraka, but have it on very good authority that Naylor may be back at the end of January and is very excited about moving back up the road...... and seeing as Adams is a best mate and follows him from club to club, you just never know what could happen between now and April.

Gee he has done well to sign paperwork in Canada! When you say sealed im guessing you mean a contract with SAAFL? Dont no any other way?

Think Naylor was always going to return to the farm, was just a matter of timing, and as far as I was aware, he was linked with the club a few months back.
As for the comment 'Signed, sealed, delivered', im sure HBF is just saying he is guaranteed to line up in the green & white next season. Looking at the coaching staff, i'm not suprised in the slightest..

Certainly helps having his old man as an assistant 

CBC star Damien Keen going overseas next year? Big loss if that's correct (a club in the Barossa was interested in recruiting him), along with Alan Margatich going back home to play and ex Uni boys Wilson and Primus retiring from A grade footy.

I did hear Margatich was heading off to the spencer gulf league but there has been rumours of that the last few years....Do you know of any ins? If not, looks like a tough year coming up for the dolphins!

[Jimmy_041]

Jess Rivers is going there as well
Plus Tom Payne from us

[catchisthecry]

Jimmy, has Tom Payne dominated the last couple of years?
Played gainst him at CBC in 2008 (i think) and he looked like he could of been anything! Took hangers kicked 4 or 5 and was BOG.
Just wondering? Cheers

[Jimmy_041]

One of my favourite players to watch when he's on fire
He had a lot of injuries last year
He was very good in 2010
