Money trail to flaggies....i wouldnt think so. Not too many clubs, if any, could complete with Marion in the money stakes, so Panther, i dont know where you get your facts from. Flaggies is another example of building a club around their juniors and will surely reap the rewards in years to come.

[shoey]

shoey, how do u reckon the shoes will go this yr? wat position u reckon theyll finish up?

hard to say vc im not sure what other teams are doing but word from the coaching staff is that they a really happy with the way the team is shaping up. The new blokes have settled in and have given the others a bit of spark and there is still a couple of other guys we are talking to at the moment that would be an asset to the team

[shoey]

specky no juniors you say we have about 400 kids on the books at the moment and this season will be the first time that we have had a u18 side for as long as i can recall. As for buying players what club are you from does this not happen there i think you will find all clubs buy players if you deny that you are kidding yourself its the way footy is these days but if you think we are spending BIG at the shoe you are mistaken my friend. our juniors are on the right track mate so if we are lucky one day you might respect us

Flaggies picked up Pat Walton and his brother Matt is also training with them. Both played at South at reserves level.
Pat pretty much comitted to Marion but changed his mind and followed money trail to Flaggies.
Not sure if hes worth the big coin hes on. The pressure is on him to perform.

What position do the Walton boys play?

[the observer]

Pat Walton could play CHB and mat was onballer wng Half Back Player
I spoke to both players both have not gone to Flaggies for big money both are incredibally gifted footballers.
Mateship was the big drawcard

[Specky McGee]

Shoey, i agree, all clubs would be playing players but some more than others. Its good to see the shoes are fielding an under 18s team for the first time in years, but you cant expect immediate results from the young fellas. It will take time and thats why im predicting a slide unless players are bought.

specky there has been an attitude problem at the shoe for a couple of years with some of the players not putting in enough but with ratsy coaching now we are trying to get things back on track which seems to be happening so i would expect a better showing this year from the lads but time will tell

Money cant buy that and never will !!!

[Backhand Panther]

Observer i never said Matt was on good money but Pat is definitely being well looked after.
Croc and Specky my info comes straight from the horses mouth.Believe what you want to believe.
If youve been around footy clubs long enough youd know that the truth never comes out about whos getting paid what.
Specky you say that no one could compete with Marion in the money stakes but Flaggies took them on and won.
Trust me.

sorry to all the aldinga boys for not getting down to the 20-20 footy last night my flight was delayed by an hour and a half then when i got back at about 8:45 really just wanted to get home, i hear it was a pretty good night though...

No worries mate, extra laps tuesday night . It was a good night, very fast games as you would expect. Having a beer under lights watching footy, good crowd too. Reynella looked good the first half but Edwardstown came back and was a close finish. Happy Valley and Blackwood was fairly even but Blackwood kicked a few too many behinds.

[Ruck Legend]

Pat Walton is a very good player and should push very hard to be one of the top five players in the Southern Football League.

Matthew Walton is also a very good player as well. He also played one game for South Adelaide. I was best mates with Matty at Reynella East Primary and it is good to see he is playing footy again.

Good Luck Pat and Matty - I am sure your Mum is going to enjoy watching both you boys in the same team on a Saturday.

[Ruck Legend]

Has Matthew Loffler joined one of the southern football league clubs

[Specky McGee]

Panther, i also know straight from the horses mouth, that Pat Walton isnt getting as much coin from Flaggies as what Marion offered him. I suppose he didnt want play for Marion, and i can probably see why. What ever quality young fellas they had have all pissed off to play with CLG in A7, so it looks like they'll will struggle again this year.

[carey]

clg are paying money thats why the young lads would be going there

matty loffler fair footballer still dont like him tho. for just beaten me for the medal in 2002 ! nah just jokes his a nice bloke

[scottroo]

carey mate get off what ever drugs your on, these blokes are not getting paid for petes sake, crichton coached these blokes in under 18s and they all want to play together under paul again, not for coin, just coz they are sick of the southern league and want to play with their mates!

[stampy]

the sfl is too predictable, you have the top, middle and bottom groups of clubs with the gap between the 3 groups being embarrasingly large i hope that changes but it seems unlikely. an example of this was the last minor round game of 2006 at bice oval christies v morphies the saints needing to win to sneak into the 8 and the emus scraped in by 40 GOALS, now if the saints had played the hawks that day the result would have been the same in favour of christies

[FOOTYGODS]

Haven't heard much from Hawks since he starting blowing his own trumpet back on page 43 i have pm him and still no reply anyone heard from him lately. Or is he still picking splinters out from last year.....

[Old and Grey]

Fudd03 that's one way of hanging onto your beer. Any more pics of the young ladies?

[Cheech]

What is everyones thoughts on the 20/20 footy at Happy Valley Oval Last weekend for the people who were there?

Does anyone know if there are many players to return for the 6 clubs that played?
