I'll change the topic then.....
GG have had a fairly decent pre-season so far with a few more guys starting to come out now, a few coming back from serious injuries and a few juniors pushing for spots. We have lost a few to Gaza, probably about 6 or 7 but no-one that can't be replaced. B's have probably been hit the hardest and our depth may not be as strong as previous years so 2011 will be a big test. The majority of our A and B grade squad are still only 21 and slowly bulking up so the move up a division, which I still believe was lucky, will be a huge test for us. We have put in a lot of fitness work and picked up a few guys from TTG and as I said, a few guys that have returned from a year off and serious injury so we are confident of being able to run the games out but our test will be in the strength department. But we know Div 3 wont be a walk in the park and we will use our upcoming trials against Walkerville and Salisbury to get used to each other and fine tuning some simple game plan stuff.
We look forward to playing some new teams that we haven't come up against as well as some that we haven't locked horns with for a few years now so everyone is keen and ready to go.
Our second oval has been seeded and will be ready to go by 2012 and this will help ease the strain on Harpers Field of about 30 teams training on it but for 2011 we will still share unfortunately. I notice a few triple headers so these are always good fun (although Mrs Choccies doesn't agree with the state I return home in...)
A fair bit of travel for all clubs this year too with the teams spread further apart than Charlie Sheen's internet rants so not sure I'm gonna enjoy hiking down west most of the year but driving home with a win always helps.
