Southern Football League

[lion heart]

Sweeny still playing but getting over osteitis pubis..... will play round 1 but still chaffing ........ Paddlepop retired i think but still may make some cameo appearances .... gotta love his rushed behinds !! Only backman ive ever seen that tries to snap goals from any angle while playing in the back pocket..... any then celebrates a rushed behind !!

[the big bang]

mole, i can confirm christies C grade beat Hackham A's by bout 8 goals. only had one b-grader playing, and that was Adam Broadbent, he actually played C grade last season, but has gone up to B's for the coming season.

Watched Lions v Lobethal trial match and Lions were impressive

S.F.L is a lot quicker league than Hills and it showed in the way the Lions toyed with Loby. Lions were 7-8th ranked S.F.L team vs 6th ranked Hilss team and these teams were poles apart.

not saying that hills is better than southern, but loby are a very old side this year and have lost alot of players, loby will not be to good this year.
morphet vale were a very strong side and disposeed of bridgy by 18 goals in the a grade.

loby only had about 9 of their a grade playing,23 players through the a's & b's were unavailable for various reasons,only had one of the starting back 6 play,sullies played well but dont read to much into the loby performance

[Wedgie]

The Shoes should get Barrie Pilmore back from Willunga.

[smithy]

Doubt it Wedge as he was pictured in a recent messenger with Willunga lads around him as this seasons coach.

Speaking of the recent Messenger, did anyone manage to see pages 3 and 24 ?

Yeah I got the same Messenger, I was thinking more of next year.
Mind you he does look great in red and white but who doesn't!

Thats a good lead up for round 1 leave half your side out for last trial. I pity the poor 23 players who get dropped for the first game after travelling 45 minutes for a trial game. Must have massive numbers at Loby.

Sounds like they are looking for excuses. A bit strange for this early in the season.........

Christies Beach V Lonsdale this week sounds like it will be a good game - based on last year/pre-season form, you'd expect this to be a close one?

[Cheech]

I'd expect the Saints to just get up over the Lions!! Hope Lions get up tho!

[Junior]

I'd expect the Saints to just get up over the Lions!! Hope Lions get up tho!

Hasn't Lonsdale got porties at porties round 1 and christies at lonnie round 2? Either way i'm backing in Lonnie's to win both.

Ha Ha - You're right!! My eye sight aint what it used to be!!

[bass_player]

The Lions did look the goods on the weekend against Lobethal. If they can carry that form in to the season I doubt Porties or Christies will have a chance

[Legend killer]

With porties kicking away in last 10 mins against the sharks who were missing 4
players does anyone know if porties were close to full strength and how full strength was
christies on the weekend good result for them

[comeon]

legend killer aldinga tom roberts dallas pitt, tait murray ,tyler harman lee blucher ryan thiele port noarlunga have 4-5 missing I think good game of footy was a good first half to watch

[Bulldogsculthero25]

Talking to a few of the porties boys after game they thought we played really well bar 10min late in game when we dropped off. hope the game during the year is a good one too. The season is so close you can almost touch it and i can't wait.

[the big bang]

i'm barred up waitin for it! no really.......i am. literally.

not making excuses at all,lonsdale played very well and deserve the credit for the win,most players missing from the 'a' grade carrying minor injuries and werent going to be risked to be ready for round 1,gave the coach a chance to have a look at some of the new guys to the club and a chance to give some regular b graders some experience at that level,after all it is a trial
