HFL Division 2 (Country)

[aceman]

I've heard on the grapevine Birdwood are still pushing to stay in Central Div. If this is true there will be a lot of clubs in the Hills League ready to strangle them. If the League buckles and pushes for more meetings and votes then I'm sure Birdwood would be the most hated club in the Hills. Put it to bed Birdwood and accept Country Div... I actually rate it as a good competition having played in it in recent years.

Yeah it must be awesome Winning by 50 goals one week then losing by 20 the next.

Those comments must/will continue to hurt Country Div until it is sorted, the HFL big boys need to move those 2 sides to C grade for a while!

Won't happen! That would mean they'd have to make a "tough call" and they're not up to it.

New B grade coach down at Rooster Park... Big Mash Coad getting the nod after impressing the selection commitee. Will be interesting to see how he goes stepping up into the role, good luck to him.

This new points system has me baffled. Why do Birdwood get more points next season than Echunga and Kersbrook after coming from a supposed higher Div?

[watchdog]

Have Echunga found a replacement coach as of yet??

[The Indian]

I Know Echunga have been in contact with a former Ironbank coach

[Bat Pad]

I Know Echunga have been in contact with a former Ironbank coach

Exelby?

I think Dennis has connections through his daughter at Echunga. Also know Shane wants to put the boots on again next year.

Well they might not be if Krieg and McGahey join Jars at Torrens Valley. Understand Jarmen had a good rapport with these blokes when at North Adelaide and wouldn't surprise if they're on his recruiting radar.

Thank god for the points system. That said McGahey will go around at Birdwood!

Is there any actual truth in Jars going to TV? It's seems very unlikely to me as he seems to want to get into the AFL system, going through Torrens Valley would not be the most traditional path I've heard of.

[Kick'n Back]

I notice former TV player Luke Slattery finished 3rd in Ports b&f. A good effort considering he missed a few too. In my opinion would be a star if played in a better side. Probably the best player i have seen in country footy for some time apart for those central div players they are much better

Agree with you there.
Didn't come across too many 6 footers in my time with his pace
Remember Graham O'Brien - apparently it's the late Graham O'Brien now???????? RIP if true - telling me a couple of years ago that he thought Luke Slattery was up to AFL football.

Really can't believe the Mitchell appointment at Callington.
Not because I don't rate him, I actually do as a coach but he didn't have cattle with us and he had club at heart to a level you don't see from too many non resident coaches.

Was told Fitzroy were happy with him so not sure what happened there.

[fido bedow]

Any word on who will be coaching Maccy in 2011??

Have heard Ben Porter from SFL(HAPPY VALLEY) is the new macces coach can anyone confirm

Confirmed

Hey guys, I'm a player from the SGL and find your Country/Central leagues to be quite fascinating.

Which is the stronger of the 2 leagues? and do you play a inter-league game.
Why is 5-6 teams able to kick 45+ goals vs teams (Callington) quite easily?

I also notice "Luke Slattery" mentioned as one of the best country footballers. Yeah he is a unique talent, played against him many years ago and were teammates briefly at North Adelaide.
Nathan McDowell (TV) is also another talent that I have played with & against and he was always something special.

Hey 7-Dog,
While the leagues are called Central and Country, they are essentially Div 1 and 2, obviosuly the stronger being Divvy 1. this is mainly due to the population of the town that team comes from but is not the only reason.
Callington is a very small town and from all reports not very well run so obviously struggles on the field. Money is also a factor in this with teams like Torrens Valley forking out big coin for some of the quality players you've mentioned.
