Did a bit of research started at Goodwood in 1947 as a 12 year old.

great link bandar..we do have a winner, hes got about 2 years on art ..i have been lucky enough to be associated with both art and tiny..you can still find tiny out watching the juniors on a sunday..as art does..both full blown legends

Wasn't that the only footy he could watch for a while that and the upcoming opposition because of health reasons?

henley div6 started training this week, 20 odd out both nights with plenty training with the div 1 squads still, so reasonably pleasing given it's the earliest start for our c/d grade squad since i can recall, but we'll need it to improve on last year
not sure bout 'the chump's' call on shane walshe for the medal he's definitely improving but his blonder and prettier mate nick meiers is always stealing votes ... time will tell

Beat me to it Zed. Art Bradshaw 100 years young today! Happy birthday to a true legend. art also still works as a volunteer at a nursing home looking after people much younger than himself whilst also giving 62 years to the Kenilworth FC.

Any tips for the trip to Houghton? I think most our team will get lost out there. Considering Eagles and Brockie couldn't find half the grounds we played at last year I think they probably should start looking for it now.

CYC isn't too bad, we have our presentations there. Although they did ban the big fella from the microphone so they went down a notch for that.

Grand Junction Road will take you all the way to Houghton's doorstep. Piece o' piss.

Those two can't find they're way home let alone a football ground.

We could hire a mini bus to get to Houghton and go up there as a group that way guys can't get lost going there, I reckon we'll have a good time going up there and going home as a group aswell.

Is he still having a kick? I rekon he will be playing when he's 80!

My spies tell me that North Haven had a minmum of 25 at there last training.

30+ all in B&W singlets at Ocean View College.

Nice try North Haven lads

We are getting some very good numbers to training and it's excellent to see everyone is so keen to get out to training to improve and get fitter and stronger. Our pre-season has been very good so far and hopefully it can hold us in good stead as we build towards the start of the season.

Hows everyone else going with their pre-seasons so far? Is it looking promising and are you getting some good numbers out?

he's not planning to have a kick this year; But..., i was just going through the match programs on saafl site to get a list of all the players to get to training, and we had 70 play through our C grade last year (compared to 57 the year prior) so there's every chance he might be required at some point!!

70! tough gig for a coach
