It is a shorter season this year with the GF scheduled 19th December.

Congrats to all concerned for being able to keep this competition alive and didn't you only have 4 teams until recently?

Know what it's like from personal experience to keep a sport that doesn't get heaps of coverage going.

Go the HOGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I heard it was a 2 1/2 month season, but all clubs are charging the same amount of fee's.
One club upwards of $300 for 8 games of football + finals.

Maybe thats why you struggle for numbers?

Who supplies the gear these days? In my time, the club supplied it. Throw in 3 months of training in uniform, amd $300 suddenly doesn’t seem so expensive

Chocolates to boiled lollies - How was it when you played against the hogs?

copped alot of stick and they did a few plays to intentialy hit me, but I played probely my best game I have ever played and I got to stick it up my mate who was bagging me all season leading up to the game how he was going to hurt and beat me, but I put him in his place he didn't get a single qb presure or sack all game infact he didnt get passed me all game ( I'm a LG and he is a DT).In the closing few moments of the game one of the hogs players put his helmet into my back when the play was over and I had turned around Hogs coached benched him for the next game for that move.

I just had a horrible flashback - the Spartan cheerleaders..................

Can I have the results of the weekend's games please.
