Would not be knocking the Chics over the last two years. 2 flags in the cabinet, and will be very, very good heading into D2 again.
A number of players think they only need a couple of good players to be around the mark this year, which is a terrific position to be in. Probably only going to be missing Pearce and will keep the others. Be very surprised if Billy Parks went anywhere, especially with JP and the family all involved. Will be around the mark when the whips are cracking in September again. Heading back to their best days, during the 1990's and early part of the 2000's. With Port District, Gepps Cross, Sacred Heart and Kilburn, it makes for a strong top four sides in D2 next year. Expect PAOC and Flinders Park, (who have just picked up a 6.4 CHB or CHF from this years Central District reserves premiership side, who has played league footy) to be exceptionally strong as well. SMOSH West Lakes are picking up plenty, with a fair bit of quality. while Walkerville are also picking up many good players from around traps, and have great depth from their reserves. Going to be tough to make the five for all of these top sides.
Looking at Port Districts early season recruiting for 2012 they proved that $money$ won't always get you a premiership, some people think a couple of players will do the trick well learn from $$Districts$$ those people ( although the 8-10 players they recruited should of got them the flag.

Anyone heard whether Jeremy Johncock has signed with Willaston?
