SAAFL Div 3 & Div 3R (2011)

[Muffler]

How do you all think pembroke will go this year.
Personally i can see them struggling to make the 5 after coming down from A2

does anyone even know anything about them?
I know I dont.

Yea thats pretty well why i asked
I think they are a young side though only cause played against these blokes during my time of junior footy and school sport.

I dont think they'll be that strong. From what i've heard, they lost a number of good foodballers last year to Unley and their performance in 2010 wasnt good. Unless their VP's start writing cheques, or they get a hold of a good number of kids out of school (both very possible), I wouldnt consider them a huge threat come finals

Alot of their kids arnt that strong coming out of school.
Guess we will just have to wait and see still

Speaking to a little "birdy" down at SMOSH West Lakes on the weekend and could the name W. Tredrea, be wearing a "Lions" jumper in the C Grade at some stage during 2011. One wonders how long it will be before he is asked to play those 4 or so A Grade games to make him eligible for Finals, in much the same manner as Ricciuto played for Prince Alfred. Good move by the "Lions" and good for the young players who manage to play with him, if they can pull this coup off

The man himself just knocked this on the head on Twitter......

Because it is on Twitter would make it right then and completely accurate . Bit like being in the Women's Weekly isn't it. Maybe the great man will and maybe he wont but we shall wait and see. 4 games between now and the end of Round 18 is a long way away. For the good of Amateur Footy and SMOSH West Lakes lets hope it turns out to be true, as he would draw a crowd and much like Ricciuto, would teach the youngsters around him about the game of Football. Anyone to knock Ricciuto or any of the former AFL players from playing, as a few have done in the past are wankers, as these guys can only be good on so many levels for Amateur Footy. Lets hope W. Tredrea and others like him, finish their careers in Amateur Footy, no matter which Club.

It would be nice to see Warren Tredrea play along side Dubya Tre at the Dome

:-?? It worked last year for them with Seaton.

Seaton not making the 5 this season had nothing to do with portland or the forum.
if you (no mercy) or anyone else thinks that it did then you are dumber then I thought!

Yeah i agree, Seaton was all the talk i thought last year?
But ?[/quote]


Keep the dumber lines for yourself.
Some sides get talked up that much they believe in what they read on forums like this.
When the pressures on, their actions unfortunately can't match what comes out their mouth.
Actions speak louder than words.
It does for some clubs.[/quote]
mmmmmm and the dumb one is??????????

Portland started there pre season last night down the beach
would have been about 35 blokes there. Was a good turn out considering this is the earliest we have ever started.

Not to mention the type of work that was done. Agreed great turn out. How did D.Leonard finsih up? Saw him on ice for a bit there at the end?

[piccachu]

not sure how your counting is going fisty but im positive there was more there than that

Spoke to him after training. Knee started to get a bit sore so he just iced up as a precautionary.

He would be nice and sore today I reckon, first bit of running he has done in 15-16 months.

and did bugger all running before those 15-16 months unless it was to the bar for a red tin

[SATCHEL]

From what i saw and heard he did put in. especially in the 3km TT on the sand. Coming back from surgery i wouldnt have done it on the sand to start with. Got a fair set this lad. Upmost respect for him (even though he can be a to$$ bag)

Seriously good to see the Lenno back. The Smosh lads would love to give back what he dishes out

[shobtop1]

Interesting to hear that Seaton are only having 4 training sessions before Christmas. Most likely a tactic to try and prevent their young players from burning out.

Waste of time, what are you going to gain training 1 night a week & 4 sessions only prior to christmas?
3\4 of them will do nothing over the christmas break anyway.

portlands could answer this but gun tagger Chris Gien moved to Encounter Bay in great southern League. Leaves a hole if this is true. did hear he is also taking someone else as well???

rumours schimma.
Encounter Bay have called him but he is currently in the US and when I spoke to him last week he assured me he was staying. Wont be back till Janurary so you would think Encounter bay couldnt wait till then for an answer cause if he said no they would struggle to find a player without a club.
Believe SMOSH have tryed recruiting him aswell.
EB have also spoken to another player aswell.

Why would country clubs be interested in these type of players. They arent ball winners and couldnt change there own car tyre let alone a game!!!

I heard Flinders Park took a few SMOSH boys out for tea & a night on the piss all paid for & didnt get 1 of them??

Must have some coin to throw around?? It's all good to try & buy a flag & then what come straight back down again??
