SAAFL Div 7 & Div 7R (2011)

['00'02'03'07]

How is everyone travelling with their pre-seasons at this point in time.
I heard somewhere along the grape vine that Gepps Cross will be fielding a C and D grade so the likelyhood of a div 8 is more likely then before with a few of the bigger higher grade clubs having C and D grades for next year.
Having had a drink with the Mawson Lakes lads last year at Coops birthday I can only imagine how big a session some of the lads would have had at the cricket. May have to catch up with some of them for another refreshment or two at some stage throughout the year.
Phantom, did you guys train tonight. I went past at about 6.15 and only noticed the cricketers out there?

My pre-season has been halted till the new year, hoping to get a few weeks in before i go overseas in Feb.

Glenunga starts pre-season this Tuesday. All new players are welcome as long as you don't take my spot

The very organized Geoff Riddle has set up a return of the old 'Catholic Showdown' between the Mawson Lakes Saints and Blackfriars OS in a trial match booked for March 12. It's a chance to rekindle an old rivalry that was eagerly fought out a few seasons ago.

Don't think there will be any sizzle in that match. 1, because it's a trial and secondly because only a couple players remain from 2006

Good luck to Ben Weekley from Mitchell Park who is going to have a crack at Div 1 footy with PHOS Camden.

Ben is a very talented footballer, Best and Fairest winner many times over and a great bloke. Really hope he makes it even if it is to our detriment.

Very good player...big loss for your boys Morell.

Remember watching Ben play as a kid in our juniors and always thought he had a bit. Also Remember a few years ago asking his Dad if he thought he'd have a crack one day and he said he probably would, I guess that's now. He's more than welcome.

Indeed it is mate, easily our best player.

I consider Ben a very close friend of mine and I am sure he wont mind me saying that he has had some struggles in his life but he never whines, keeps his head down, works harder and earns the respect of everyone that he meets.

There would not be a soul at Mitchell Park that would begrudge Ben taking this opportunity.

He really should have been picked up by Glenelg as a junior IMO but was told that he was too short and slow. He definitely isn't the quickest or the tallest and that will be the only query on him making it at PHOS but he can get the ball and dispose of it perfectly 9 times out of 10. He reminds me of an old school mate of mine and ex-PHOS captain I believe - Adam Beachamp. Ben probably has more penetration on his kick than I remember Adam having and is more outside than inside but they are very similar players.

Should do well.

[zedman]

yeah big loss morell..but you gotta have a go at some stage..my thoughts are his height may hurt him..but good luck to him..beachy is a top bloke..played cricket with him at Unley..tried to grab him a few times but wazza and co. kept him at PHOS during those days..

if to succeed at division 1 you will need a great amount of dedication,discipline and self belief benny will succeed.one of the best footballers i have been assosiated with in my 30years in the game and on top of that he is a great family man and bloke.i sincerly wish him the best and for one believe that if given the chance he will make it.one of the best buys in the top flight.maybe more clubs should look at the players that are going around in their local area instead of trying to buy success

Good to hear Aussie.
As a very content former player I think I have been training more then when I was playing. Been out and watched Ingle Farm train once. Although I have finished playing still enjoy watching footy even if just training sessions for the time being.

Not sure how true this is but I was told yesterday that Nth Pines have appointed Eastern Parks B or C grade coach from last season (not sure of his name) and will be nominating 2 sides for 2011. The new coach is expecting to take a few with him is what I was told. All the best too him and good luck. God knows he will need it.

It has been confirmed that Craig Wilson (2010 Eastern Park B Grade coach) has been appointed A grade coach of Nth Pines with Steve Newchurch appointed B grade coach. The club is confident they will fill 2 sides this season and return to Div 7. As I said earlier all the best to the 2 blokes and the club.

Excellent appointment is Willo. Coached our B Grade to a flag a few years back, is an excellent motivator and loves his players. As long as the North Pines boys are willing to do the work, he'll be excellent for that club.
